"You're here?" Hela looked up at the man walking towards her as she heard the footsteps approach. She leaned against the wall adorned with tapestries, and to her right was a fine wooden door. Interestingly, however, inside the Witches' buildings, the entrances and exits to such rooms are usually hidden by magic. In particular, the closing place of this wooden gate has been specially hung with three large locks. The three locks are shaped like a crow, a mermaid, and a rudder.

This is information that only those who are familiar with witches' tricks will know, that is, witches' door locks are not only used to lock doors, but to lock the room with multiple door locks is itself a kind of code. Not to mention not having keys, even if you have all the keys in your hand and opening them in the wrong order, it will lead the door opener into a trap that is completely different from the room he wants to enter, or simply release some kind of dangerous monster, and it is worth mentioning that Shadow Beasts tend to take on this position due to their ability to hide in the shadows.

However, this time Fioni did not need to worry about such a problem, because Hela, the witch who was supposed to be the gatekeeper, would open the door for him herself. The Kraken nodded, it was kind of greeting Hela, not that he was in a bad mood at this time, but when he set off, Peg specifically told him not to speak until he left the witch's cave, and the voice sometimes came farther than people thought. And the witches who live here have much sharper ears than ordinary people. Hela knew this too, but since she was also a witch, she could still protect her words from being overheard, which is why she greeted the fugitive Fioni so casually.

Although the Kraken can't make a sound, he can still communicate with the witch with simple gestures. In fact, because the Kraken uses language underwater and travels much farther than on land due to the fact that the sea water is a medium different from air, many Krakens choose to use sign language to communicate in order to ensure secrecy or conceal themselves. Fioni pointed to the door, and held out two fingers from his other hand, indicating that he wanted to refer to the two people in the room. Hela smiled and nodded, confirming that Lothar and the webworm were indeed in the room next to her.

However, Fioni did not immediately ask the witch to release him, after all, the information that Peg had told him was limited, and he needed more information from Hela about the current situation of the two. Hela, on the other hand, did not wait for Fioni to express her doubts, but explained, "It is good that they know something about their captivity, and that both the man and the woman have a clear head. But I couldn't pass on any more information to them, and once I opened the door, it wouldn't be a few minutes before someone noticed the anomaly. And most of the first people to notice it are the warden lady who used to hold you, and she has a complicated relationship with Kalen, and we don't want to stand against her if we can. ”

"She'll be the biggest obstacle to your escape from here, but don't worry too much, Karen should have already figured out a way to pester, and if all goes well, she might even turn a blind eye to our actions. So when I open the door, the real question is how to get those two people to know what's going on. They, like you, must not speak after stepping out of the door, otherwise the guards here will kill you immediately without the protection of the witch, and you must let them know what is going on. Can you do this?"

Hela's expression was very serious, and Fioni could see that there was no exaggeration in the other party's words, he thought for a moment and nodded. Lothar and Networms, both humans had undergone rigorous military training, and the speed with which they recognized the situation and their stress response should have prevented the escape from ending prematurely. The witch's brow loosened slightly when she saw Fioni's reaction, she wasn't very familiar with the kraken and the two people in the room, but since Fioni was sure, it would be better than delaying here.

"And one last thing," Hela said to the Kraken as if she had suddenly remembered the key from her clothes, "and if I feel right, the ebb tide has begun." I don't know much more about it, and even if it is, I can't say much about it, but this incident may not be as simple as we seem. The Sharktooth Tribe's attack on Heartless Bay is likely to be part of a larger plan, and the other tribe, the Burning Waves tribe you grew up with, isn't exactly on the same side as Sharktooth. To be on the safe side, it's best not to contact either side of the flank when you leave Heartbreaker. Naturally, it's best to be able to pass through the Misty Sea, but now things are strange, even if you're a Kraken, don't venture there. If there is really no way, let them lurk in the Bay of Lost Heart first, every time after the tsunami, it is a time of extreme chaos, and no one will pay attention to a few fresh faces. ”

Fioni tilted his head, he felt that of the few witches he had seen, only this Hela showed a different side from the others, she would contain Sech and even gave the child a name, and when it came to escaping from here, she also noticed a lot of things that Peg didn't notice and reminded her. Perhaps among these people, this lady who looked weak and gloomy was the one who thought the most carefully. The Kraken bowed slightly, as a token of gratitude for Hela's extra reminders.

The witch smiled, then turned around and took a deep breath and inserted the key into the mermaid-shaped lock. As Hela turned the key, the expression on the bronze mermaid's face changed from serene to hideous, and it twisted its body as if trying to stop the process of unlocking, but Hela just quickly pressed her finger to the mermaid's eyes, and the lock fell silent and opened with a "click". Compared to the bottom, the rudder and the crow's door lock were not so many problems, the rudder gently rotated a few degrees to the west, and the crow blinked and let it go.

The wooden door opened softly, revealing the warm room inside, and the two people sitting at the table in the room. Their situation was much better than Fioni had imagined, and the treatment of Lothar and the Networms could be said to be heaven and earth compared to the Kraken who had been chained and hung in an icy cave. But now it was not a matter of thinking about that, and the moment the door opened, Lothar stepped in front of the networm and protected the latter. However, when he saw the two people standing outside the door, the look of vigilance on his face was significantly lowered. As soon as the Count was about to ask, he saw the Siren put his finger to his lips and motioned for him not to speak. Lothar turned to look at the networm, nodded in the latter's approving look, and cautiously walked out of the room.

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything, Peg has already told the Kraken how to escape from here, you just have to follow him. Hela said in a deep voice, and then watched the three of them start running towards the other end of the corridor, she bit her lip and was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth and say, "Miss Networm! Please take care of yourself! Also, I'm sorry......"
