Rob already had an answer in his heart as to where Sax and Ghost would be.
There weren't many places to hide in the tower. Once an intruder was discovered, the prison guards would quickly take action. Places like the small study room and the kitchen seemed deserted, but if something really happened, they would immediately be searched. Therefore, hiding in such a place was definitely the worst plan of all.
With Saxe and Ghost's skills, they wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
There was a warden and two deputy wardens in Grimm. The warden, Crowell, was originally the leader of the Second Paladin Regiment. After he was injured, he applied for a transfer to manage the prison. He was very strong and was also the person that Rob feared the most in this tower. Among the two deputy wardens, Pope mentioned Pemera. Although this woman was almost 90 years old, she was still as strong as before. She was also from the military, and her reputation was even higher than Crowell's.
Although it was an era of peace and there was no threat of war, some of the more dangerous criminals still needed the Paladin Regiment to deal with. Pemera had led many hunting operations, and many powerful criminals in Grimm had been caught by her. For example, the former boss of the Nightingale Club, the Stockpiler and Spider, who were now living underground, had all been caught by her.
Pemera's reputation had also risen. Many of the criminals here hated her. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, didn't know if she had anything to do with the arrest of Saxe and Ghost, but judging from their previous behavior, it shouldn't be for revenge this time.
The remaining deputy warden named Flo was a little different from the previous two. Although he was also from the military, he had basically been doing a civilian job. During this period, he didn't have any outstanding achievements. He was relatively young, less than 40 years old. Flo was a grade 7 Paladin, and his strength was considered good for his age. However, when Pope talked about this deputy warden, his expression was obviously a little disdainful.
When Rob asked him whose behavior was the most suspicious, the young Paladin first mentioned Flo's name. Although Pope didn't say it explicitly, his words implied that Flo did not come to Grimm of his own accord.
Flo's background had always been a mystery. Although he didn't have any outstanding achievements, he was promoted faster than anyone else in the Paladin Regiment, which had caused many people to be dissatisfied with him. However, during that period of time, he didn't make any big mistakes, so even if someone was dissatisfied with him, they couldn't find any excuses.
Until about three years ago, a very important matter that he was in charge of made a mistake. Flo had no choice but to leave the Paladin Regiment and come to Grimm to temporarily avoid the limelight. However, this guy obviously treated this place as a holiday resort. He had told others more than once that he would soon leave this place, so he didn't put any effort into his work at all. Every day, he just ate, drank, and had fun. He even used his position to flirt with the young female prison guards in the tower. Only when he was stopped by Warden Crowell did he become more obedient. His popularity in Grimm was very bad.
If Rob were to assume that he was Sax or Ghost, if he wanted to find a place to hide, the best choice would undoubtedly be Flo's room. As one of the three wardens of the prison, Flo was one of the few people in the tower who had a private room. His personal strength wasn't too strong, and he wasn't welcomed here. He always drifted away from the group. Even if something happened to him, it would be difficult for the prison guards to notice it immediately.
As long as he held Flo hostage, and with him helping to attract the enemy's attention, Sax and Ghost could make use of this period of time to do something.
Although he had guessed where the two were hiding, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor still couldn't guess how they were going to leave this place. It wasn't that Rob wanted to be a busybody, but if he and Lolo found Mother Teresa later, they would also have to face the problem of how to kidnap her from this tower. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Rob didn't want to kill his way out of this place. The future Supreme Magus Your Honor hoped to find the answer to this question from the two of them.
… …
Flo's level was a little lower than what Sax had expected. Ghost had already quietly crept to his bedside and placed a dagger on his neck, but Flo was actually still asleep. As a high-grade professional, his alertness was really not very good. Sax couldn't help but cough lightly.
Flo woke up with a start. When he opened his sleepy eyes and caught a glimpse of a cold light, his first reaction was to struggle violently. He even wanted to shout for help, but Ghost had no choice but to move the dagger back a little to prevent this guy from getting too excited and hurting himself. After that, Ghost reached out her hand and cleanly dislocated Flo's chin.
What the hell is this? Sax sighed. He had stayed in the Orc Grimm for a long time. No matter above or below ground, there was no one who was easy to deal with. In his daily life, there was no need to mention others all the time. It had been a long time since he met such a pure idiot like Flo.
Sax was willing to bet that if he threw this guy down the tower, even though he had the strength of a grade seven, he wouldn't be able to survive for more than three days.
Alright, I digressed. There are actually benefits to being an idiot. Sax put away the story that he was about to make up and directly took out the longbow on his back. He loosened his fingers, and then Flo felt a chill in his crotch.
The deputy warden was shocked and quickly lowered his head to check on his little Flo. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the arrow had only scratched his pajamas. However, the way he looked at Sax had completely changed.
Even he could tell that the other party was an expert. The speed of the arrow was extremely fast and the movement was smooth. Flo estimated that even if he was equipped with armor and a weapon, he wouldn't be a match for the other party, not to mention that there was another guy beside him who looked like a ghost.
"Warden Flo, I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams. I believe that you should be able to roughly understand what is going on, so I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. I only have one request. Later on, you will do as we say. As long as you cooperate with us, we will naturally not hurt you. However, if we find out that you have other intentions, or if you try to seek help from the outside world, hehe …" Sax laughed coldly. "Now, if you are willing to cooperate with us, blink twice. If not, please continue to resist."
Flo blinked her eyes almost immediately.
"Very well," Sax gestured to Ghost, who helped Flo reattach his chin.
As soon as he regained his ability to speak, Flo opened his mouth and shouted, "Do you know who I am? If you provoke me, you will …"
