The prison corridor was darker than Kieran had expected.
There was only a glimmer of light.
However, even though it was just a glimmer, it was enough for Kieran, whose Intuition had reached C Rank.
He could see everything in the corridor clearly.
"As expected, there's only one side of the prison cell, and there are 15 cells in total.
Other than the one I'm in, there's no one else in the other cells.
Lawless and Hanses should be on the next floor! "
Kieran glanced over the cells on this floor and listened carefully for any movement around him. Then he quickly walked down to the cell on the first floor.
As he walked down the stairs on the right, Kieran heard the rattling of chains.
Clank, Clank!
The chains moved back and forth without any rhythm.
However, it sounded different to Kieran's ears.
It was a signal!
It was the signal that the three of them had agreed upon before entering this special dungeon world.
It wasn't just the chains.
The knocking on the walls and doors were all part of the signal range.
Which one to choose would depend on the situation.
Kieran quickly walked towards the cell where the chains were rattling.
The cell was located in the deepest part of the cell.
Kieran walked up to the cell and opened the window above the door. The first thing he saw was Lawless, who looked a little dispirited.
"2567, you're finally here!
If you were any later, I would have given up on the mission!
"What kind of mission would make someone seriously injured at the beginning?"
Lawless heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Kieran appear at the window.
He was grumbling non-stop.
"There's always a first time for everything!
You should be glad that you're on the lower floor and I'm on the upper floor!
Otherwise, you would have said, what kind of mission starts with a heavy injury and an ambush? "
Kieran quickly opened the cell door and took out the [Deceiver's Key] to unlock Lawless' shackles.
"You were ambushed?
What's your Main Mission? "
Lawless was taken aback and asked instinctively.
"My main mission is [Escape from Morko Principality]!
"I'm also moderately injured right now. The youngest son of the Grand Duke just came to interrogate me about the whereabouts of the Legacy!"
"Then, he was killed by his own guard, and that guard was a Death Warrior. As soon as he felt something was wrong, he immediately committed suicide. I didn't even have a chance to interrogate him!"
"I can guarantee that if it wasn't for the fact that the Grand Duke's youngest son couldn't stand the smell here, he would have definitely come down to interrogate you and Hanses first!"
Kieran seemed to know what Lawless wanted to say, so he quickly told Lawless everything that had happened in the Special Dungeon.
My main mission is [Escape from Morko Principality's Pursuit]. It's a little harder than yours.
"You're moderately injured, I'm severely injured, so Hans must have been fatally injured. Otherwise, how could he not even make a sound …"
Lawless' voice was getting softer and softer.
In the end, he looked at Kieran without saying a word.
Kieran's expression changed as well.
Both of them realized that even if Hans had been fatally injured and his Strength, Agility, Spirit, and Intuition had dropped by five ranks, he should still have been able to make a sound.
Just like Lawless.
Although he had been severely injured, it was only his HP and attributes that had been reduced. His strength had still been affected.
He would not have fallen to the ground like the natives.
He would not have been able to make a sound.
It would have been a piece of cake for Hanses.
Unless …
Hanses was not in the cell.
As soon as he thought of that possibility, Kieran took action.
"I'll go have a look!"
Kieran turned around and walked out of the cell.
He quickly scanned the entire floor, even though there were empty cells. Kieran did not miss any.
Hanses was nowhere to be found.
"What about the floor above?"
Lawless did not want to give up, so he went up.
In the end, he still could not find anything.
Lawless and Kieran stood in front of Kieran's cell, looking at each other.
"His Main Mission wouldn't be the same as ours, would it?"
Lawless guessed.
"Very likely!"
Kieran nodded.
Other than that, Kieran could not think of any other reason why Hanses would not be in the same cell as him and Lawless.
But what was Hanses's Main Mission?
As the main culprit of the theft, Hanses' Main Mission would not be any easier than Kieran and Lawless'.
At least it would be harder than Kieran's, who had less dungeon entries than Kieran's.
The Legacy!
Unconsciously, Kieran thought of the term that Reedrall had mentioned.
Did Hanses's absence have anything to do with the Legacy?
Although Hanses had not taken any of the items, the natives had confirmed that Hanses had taken them.
Therefore, not only had they interrogated Hanses, but they had also interrogated Kieran, the accomplice.
That was the only logical explanation.
As for Hanses lying to Kieran and Lawless?
If it was just Kieran, Hanses might have done it.
However, with Lawless around, Kieran believed that Hanses would not have done it.
Of course, the most important thing was the contract that both sides had signed.
With that contract, Kieran was confident that Hanses would not lie to him and Lawless.
"Is it a legacy item?"
What is it? "
Kieran furrowed his brows.
The name itself was enough to tell that the Legacy was very valuable and had a lot of meaning.
However, the clues before him were too little.
Kieran could not even begin to guess.
Still, Kieran knew what he had to do.
"Let's get out of here!
Since this death warrior has made his move, the mastermind must be watching this place closely. The longer we drag this out, the worse it will be for us!
Maybe once we leave this cell, we can contact Hanses through the team comms channel! "
Kieran said.
"Put on their clothes and get away with it?"
Lawless pointed at the dead body.
"That's the best idea I can think of right now!"
Kieran asked.
...
Lawless was wearing a guard's armor and holding a torch as he walked behind Kieran.
Even though Lawless had tried his best to bend down, he was still a lot taller than the guard.
Naturally, the armor on Lawless looked very awkward.
Kieran's body, on the other hand, was about the same size as Reedrall.
Naturally, the clothes were also suitable for him.
Reedrall, on the other hand, had been killed by a sword through his chest. As Kieran moved, the hole in his clothes was exposed.
Kieran had no choice but to pick up the handkerchief that reeked of cosmetics and cover his mouth and nose like Reedrall had done. He raised his elbow to cover the hole in his clothes.
As for the one behind him?
He could only rely on Lawless' help to cover it up.
The two of them arrived at the cell gate one after the other.
The prison guard, who had met Kieran once before, noticed the fire approaching.
When he saw Kieran in Reedrall's uniform, he didn't say anything. He just opened the door to the cell.
"Sir Reedrall!"
The prison guard bowed respectfully.
"That bastard is so stubborn … Ahem, I'm teaching him a lesson!
Damn it, the smell in here is disgusting! I need to get out of here! "
"Move!"
Kieran mimicked Reedrall's way of speaking. He coughed and skipped the Warden's name before he walked out of the room in a hurry.
With the handkerchief covering his face, the prison guard could not see Kieran's face clearly.
However, he recognized Kieran's clothes.
Without any hesitation, the prison guard stepped aside.
Kieran strode forward with Lawless following closely with his head lowered.
However, Lawless was being overly cautious.
The prison guard did not expect the two of them to be thieves wearing Reedrall's and the guard's clothes and armor. From the beginning to the end, he maintained a humble smile as he watched the two of them leave.
Following a spiral staircase, Kieran and Lawless reached the surface.
Although it was only a room with a window, it was much better than the underground.
At least the air was fresh.
The two of them took in big gulps of the fresh air.
"Easier than I thought!
I thought we would run into more guards!
I didn't think there would only be one prison guard! "
Lawless said with a smile.
Dak Dak Dak!
However, before Lawless could keep his smile, a series of footsteps with scabbards and armors rubbing against each other sounded.
Kieran and Lawless turned pale at the same time.
They could accurately determine that these heavily armed men were coming for the prison.
Pak!
"Don't jinx it!"
Lawless gave himself a slap on the face.
He looked at Kieran.
His hand was gripping his longsword tightly.
His meaning couldn't be any clearer.
Fight!
Although Lawless had lost his heavy weapons and his HP was less than 30%, it did not mean he had lost his ability to fight.
On the contrary, Kieran could tell that Lawless was very familiar with swords.
According to his skill level.
He was at least at Master level or above.
Lawless had the strength to fight against this group of men that had appeared out of nowhere.
However, Kieran did not approve of such a fight.
They would have to face more than just one group of men.
If they caused a ruckus …
They would have to fight against all the natives in the castle.
According to Hanses, most of the units had followed Grand Duke Morko into battle. Even if there were a few left, the two of them would not be able to handle them without any equipment, HP, and attributes.
Kieran waved his hand and pointed at the window on the side.
"Let's hide!
"The mastermind must have sent someone to pick up his men of sacrifice and clean up the mess …"
"Let's wait and see!"
Kieran said as he opened the wooden window and jumped out.
Lawless followed closely behind him.
Kieran stepped on the gap between the outer walls of the castle and looked down at the steep cliff below him. He grabbed the wooden window tightly and pricked up his ears, listening carefully.
