Chapter 14: Escape and Defeat
Time passed imperceptibly.
And in this month, Arthur's biggest gain is naturally to become more and more friendly to his queen and ...... Catwoman that came with it unintentionally?
Sitting around with Gerald and the others, Arthur thought back to the events of this month in his mind, and the expression on his face was slightly richer.
"From this side of the road, then there is only ......"
Gerald muttered a lot, and the teenagers around him listened attentively, except for one person, Arthur, who was wandering into the world.
He was not at all interested in Gerald's escape plan, because he knew that there were a large number of magical soldiers on this island at all times, and it was almost impossible for ordinary people who did not know magic to escape.
Even if Gerald has been planning for a long time, in the end, it is just a matter of doing it for nothing.
"Arthur?"
"Hmm......" The young man who was immersed in thought subconsciously responded: "What is going on in the girl's mind?" β
The teenagers and girls at the scene of "......" were all silent.
The strange eyes shot at the young man who was the leader of the hidden figure over there.
Elusa sat on the side with a blushing face, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes as she looked at Arthur.
"Uh......" Someone saw that everyone's expressions were wrong, and then he realized that he had actually said what was in his mind, and he immediately sweated profusely.
In fact, what he was thinking about just now was not Elusa, but another little Lori hidden in the Tower of Paradise.
Ulutia.
The girl who left with a dissatisfied attitude after showing up that day.
Originally, Arthur felt that the intersection between himself and the other party could be over, who knows......
"Why are you talking to yourself for the past two days, stupid?"
These were the words he heard on the road after taking a shower that day.
What, I obviously left with such a dissatisfied expression, and even scolded loudly, looking like I don't want to see you again, but I didn't go for two days, so I couldn't hold back and ran over?
It's really a little girl's heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm distracted." Looking at the strange eyes of the people around him, Arthur laughed and said naturally.
"You guy...... Then I'll say it again. β
Gerald sighed, repeated his plan, and looked up at the group.
"It's tonight."
Tonight?
Arthur sighed in his heart, although he was not optimistic about this plan, he still smiled and got up to look at everyone: "No problem, right?" β
"Of course!"
Under the influence of Arthur's powerful royal spirit, the morale of the teenagers was suddenly boosted, and the eyes of each one burned with hope.
Get out, get out, get out of this hellish place!
"Na," suddenly, the little Lori next to her pulled Arthur's sleeve, attracting his attention, "What if......"
Looking at Arthur with a wistful gaze, Elusa opened her mouth: "What if...... If we can get out, Arthur, what will you do? β
Do?
Hearing Elusa's words, not only Arthur, but also the other teenagers all stopped and looked at each other.
Most of the slaves who will be captured in the Tower of Paradise are already alone.
If they do escape, then they seem to be homeless.
"My words ......" Not noticing the emotions of the others, Arthur reached out and habitually touched Elusa's head, and in the other party's slightly blushing expression, he squatted down and looked directly at the girl: "I want to see magic." β
"Magic?"
"That's right, magic called miracles." Arthur looked at Rob over there and said with a smile, "And I'm very interested in the old man's guild." β
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Old Man Rob.
Fairy tail, the meaning of that sign.
This is the core of Arthur's strategy in this world, as long as he can attack this guild, then the world will recognize his dominance.
In other words, he is recognized by the consciousness of this world.
"Fairy Tail," Rob reached out and stroked the large Fairy Tail logo behind him, his eyes full of nostalgia, "you're going to love it, that guild." β
Looking up at Arthur, Rob laughed.
"Heh~" Arthur chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, old man, I'm just curious about the guild you guys belong to, but I didn't say I'd definitely stay there." β
"No, you'll stay there, I promise."
Rob said this with confidence.
This is what Arthur wants the other party to say the most.
The boy could sense that the power of the royal path in his body had a slight connection with the core of this world, the guild called Demon Tail.
This also means that he can finally enter that guild in the open, as an intruder.
That's what it is...... The world's recognition.
Arthur smiled even more happily, and the smile on the young man's face gradually retracted as he looked around.
"Either way, getting out of here is the premise of everything."
"Come on!"
"Hmm!"
ββββββββββββββ the dividing line that is almost time to leaveβββββββββββββββ
The process of escaping, of course, goes without saying.
Even with Arthur's help with Geass, they were discovered.
As for the reason......
Arthur looked at a yellow-haired boy cowering in the corner, and felt helpless in his heart.
Sure enough, a pig teammate is a pig teammate, I just hope you don't drop the chain at a critical moment, but you can't even do this thing?
The boy found that his feelings for Xiu were becoming more and more unhappy.
Of course, he will definitely not show it on his face with the heart of an emperor, but will comfort this guy who caused everyone to fail with Gerald.
It feels really unpleasant, but this is really not a good time to accuse the other party of negligence.
"You guys!"
A crackle, the sound of a whip slapping on the ground woke Arthur from his musings.
"How dare you run away? You scum, who gave you the guts! β
Laughter and shouts rang out in the doorway, and two men in black robes with the Dark Arts Order's guild logo engraved on the back of their hands walked in, looking at them with a sinister smile on their faces.
Except for Xiu, who was holding his head and trembling because of fear, everyone else looked at the two people who walked in with an annoyed expression, and they couldn't wait to rush up and fight with them immediately.
Gerald stopped the boys' impulses and turned to look at the two fellows with Arthur.
"Hmph, an unpleasant expression."
Syllable~!
The sound of the whip whipping on the human body, accompanied by a cry of pain, Simon gritted his teeth and glared viciously at the guy who had whipped him.
If it weren't for Gerald pulling him, it is estimated that this bloody guy would immediately rush out and fight with them.
"Cut~ I really want to kill all these little ghosts."
Bloodthirsty eyes swept over Simon and the others, making their bodies tremble.
The fear of death temporarily dispelled the blood and anger, and even Simon, who wanted to rush out just now, lowered his head silently at the moment.
Sure enough, it was just a bunch of children.
The sorcerer thought with a sneer.
"Originally, you couldn't forgive, but recently there are not enough people......" Sweeping his gaze among the crowd, the sorcerer showed a cruel smile on his face: "As long as you can confess the mastermind, then everyone else will be fine!" β
Just name the mastermind, and then everyone else will be fine.
It's really a simple trick, so I'm afraid that the slaves won't trust each other anymore.
This kind of ploy is also a little useful for children.
Arthur turned his head to look at the crowd.
The cowardly Xiu was still holding his head and trembling, Simon and Wally were silent with their heads down, Miliana was looking at him, and Elusa and Gerald were gritting their teeth, as if they were making some big decisions.
"Cut~"
With a cold snort of disdain, Arthur stood up, looked at the two magicians, and sneered: "Do you still have to think about this kind of thing, they are just a group of children, how can they come up with such a careful plan." β
"You guy......" The magicians looked at Arthur who stood up with them, and the disdainful expression of the other party made them very unhappy.
"No, it's me, I'm in charge of everything."
Seeing Arthur stand up, Gerald couldn't hold back any longer, gritted his teeth, and looked directly at the two magicians.
Worthy of Gerald...... Sure enough, I still stood up.
But this really isn't the right time!
Arthur looked helplessly at the teenager next to him, and he realized for the first time that it was not necessarily a good thing to have a teammate with a strong sense of responsibility.
