“Huh?”


  Mag walked straight to that cell after hearing that. He had heard Hannah mention that Ferdinand’s lovey-dovey uncle and auntie were locked up in this dungeon too. Looking at it now, her intel’s accuracy was very high.

  “Do you know where Ferdinand was brought to?” Mag brought the torch forward, and saw the situation in the cell clearly.

  This was a cell that was only five to six square meters big. He could smell a horrible stench as soon as he got close to it. A middle-aged orc couple with messy hair and clothes were leaning against the metal bars. The wounds all over their bodies clearly showed how they were treated inhumanely.

  “I am Romeo, and this is my wife, Juliet. The chief’s wife was my elder sister. We’re also not sure where Ferdinand was brought to. We’re very worried now too.” The middle-aged orc shook his head with a pained expression. “Ever since Gary rebelled and slew the king, we became his prisoners, and then were rotated around a few prisons and dungeons. We were brought here to this newly built dungeon about 10 days before, and that’s when we saw Ferdinand for the very first time. He looked thinner, so he must have suffered during this time. Someone went into his cell and brought him away soon after. We don’t know where he has gone.”


  Mag raised his eyebrows as he felt something was not right.

  Juliet was calmer, and analyzed, “We’ve heard those fellows say they’re going to kill us on Gary’s conferring ceremony, and the banquet is around these two days. Maybe Gary took Ferdinand to the palace where they have the most powerful and secure guards. That is also the safest place.”


  Mag frowned. Romeo and Juliet’s words had confirmed that Ferdinand was no longer in this cell. They were still late, and missed the opportunity.

  “Someone’s coming,” Irina deliberately said in a lowered voice.

  “Can you bring us with you, please?” Romeo looked at Mag, and then at the end of the passageway before he said with clenched teeth, “If it’s not possible, please bring my wife with you. Help her out of this dirty and dark place. Please.”


  Mag turned around to ask Irina, “Can we make it?”


  “It’s not a problem to kill them all, but there’s a possibility that we might expose ourselves. The other three 10th-tiers would come here very quickly.” Irina threw a glance at Romeo and Juliet with furrowed brows, and said, “We could only bring one of them with us. The teleportation portal is very small.”


  “Then……” Mag looked at the two people in the cell. Their original plan tonight was to rescue Ferdinand, so there wasn’t any extra space for a second person.

  “Please bring her along with you. She’s a graceful woman. She shouldn’t be staying in this damp and dark dungeon. A beautiful flower should blossom at a place full of sunshine,” Romeo said lovingly.

  “You’re my sunshine. If I left alone, this world would become much more cruel even when I was not in this dungeon. We have promised each other. How can I leave you here alone?” Juliet shook her head, and smiled at Mag with a dirty and tired face. “Leave us be. He would not leave me alone, either. Go now and don’t get caught.”


  Mag saw calm and happiness in that smile. After a moment of silence, he nodded. “Alright.”


  Mag walked to Irina, and gently said, “Let’s go.”


  “If we work together, it’s not difficult to kill those two fellows out there.” Irina looked toward Romeo and Juliet.

  “If those two fellows died, then Ferdinand would be dead before we found him.” Mag shook his head.

  “I’m indeed not good at playing hide-and-seek.” Irina rolled her eyes. She only wanted to flip the tables.

  Sounds of footsteps could already be heard coming from the end of the passageway. The orcs who were locked up in the cells quickly exclaimed for Mag and Irina to save them.

  When Mag stepped into the lit up circle on the ground, he saw a little girl who was squeezed to the edge of the cell extending her little arm to him. That pair of eyes seemed to be very dull in the dark. The little arm that was extended out was also limp, as if she no longer had any hope for anything.

  Irina’s gaze also landed on that little girl. The champagne golden teleportation portal lit up under their feet, and both of them disappeared in a blink.

  Almost at the same time, the orc in golden armor, Basil, dashed in from the walkway with his iron rod tightly clenched in his hands, and sized up his surroundings warily.

  His gaze landed on those stone doors that were damaged, and he narrowed his eyes.

  With his immense strength, it wasn’t difficult for him to crush these stone doors. However, Darryl had placed inscriptions personally on these stone doors. Even if he wanted to damage them rapidly, he had to transform into his beast form.

  Meanwhile, these damaged stone doors didn’t have traces of magic, nor were there any traces of powerful magical elements in the surroundings.

  Which meant the other party had terrifying power, and smashed through these stone doors with brute force, entering the dungeon with the most simple and direct method.

  The dungeon guards were all killed, and they died in a very direct manner too. They should’ve been smacked to death instantaneously with some kind of blunt object.

  After making this judgement, Basil’s expression became grave, and his approaching steps became even more cautious.

  The other party was most likely like him, a 10th-tier powerhouse who had great strength.

  There wasn’t another one like in the Falk Tribe, so the only possibility was that the other species wanted to interfere in their Falk Tribe’s affairs.

  Deducing from the time frame, the other party should be still in the dungeon now. He had sealed the exit, so there would most probably be an intense battle later.

  However, they were in the Falk Tribe after all. He only had to ask Gary for help, and they would be here immediately.

  “Come out now. I’ve already seen you.” Basil bluffed.

  The walkway was in complete silence. The scent of blood permeated the air, and the orcs in the cells were all shivering in a corner, as if they were all terrified.

  Nobody answered Basil.

  ***

  A golden beam lit up on the cliff. Mag couldn’t help addressing Irina with surprise when he saw the little girl who appeared next to them. “Y-you brought her out.”


  That little girl appeared to be around 10 years old. Although she was looking at the whitish surroundings with a dazed expression, and was shivering due to her thin clothes, her eyes began to light up gradually as she breathed in fresh and free air.

  Irina looked at that little girl, and piteously said, “She’s the one that shouldn’t be in there. Those fellows indeed deserve to die.”
