Chapter 211: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 14
The city can move.
"How is that even possible?" Gilbert was in complete disbelief.
"It is possible," Jude interjected. "As long as they have one of the keys with them, they can make a city move,"
Gilbert immediately realized that they'd also made a temporary settlement on the back of the Guardian Turtle. So, it's very possible for other people to do the same or even more if they are given the same opportunity as them.
Of course, they're not sure yet if their key is a living being. Perhaps it is a weapon that's capable of moving a city from one place to another.
"We aren't sure of how they do it yet, so let's not report it to Old Mayor George," Kayn decided to postpone informing anyone else about their findings just in case this might lead to unnecessary chaos on their side once they find out.
"Are you sure about that," Jericho didn't like that idea from Kayn.
"I am certain about this one. In fact, I want you, Jadiel, and Randy to keep this information to yourselves only," Kayn turned serious. Jericho and his men weren't supposed to know about the existence of the keys yet. This was a total accident that nobody wanted to happen.
"I wonder what you meant about the keys," Jericho wanted to know more about the existence of the so-called keys.
"We'll talk about it once we get back to the penthouse," Kayn doesn't want to explain the existence of keys in an open area in case someone is nearby and hears it.
"I'll be expecting that," Jericho took special note of that as he doesn't want to be clueless about what seemed to be a very important matter.
Everyone quickly returned to the Wing Boots Auction House.
At this moment, the damages they caused last evening have already been repaired. There are no longer any holes, and the entire place seems to have undergone refurnishing.
After checking the place out, Jericho talked with a man named Master Khalid about their next auction event.
Jericho expressed his disagreement, but Kayn suggested otherwise as they could use it for something similar if there's another chance.
Once they were done with that, everyone went to the penthouse to begin discussing the existence of keys and their other findings.
"So you're telling me that the reason why we still haven't found the exit of 'The Bridge' was because we haven't found the keys yet?" Jericho felt stupified at the thought.
"Just like every door, to unlock it one must possess a key," Kayn explained in a simple manner.
"And we have one with us, right?" Jericho looks at Jude. "Is it the Guardian Turtle?"
"Yes," Jude could only lie as he doesn't want Jericho to find out yet that he is the key instead of the Guardian Turtle.
"Who else knows this aside from me?"
"The first squad and the second squad of Green Horn Knights and Old Mayor George,"
"I see, only the trustworthy people," Jericho finally realized why he wasn't informed about it. "Rest assured, I will prove to you that I can help you with looking for the keys,"
"We know, that's why I am telling you this," Kayn naturally believes now that Jericho could provide a lot of resources to them.
"By the way, you mentioned another key. Does that mean there already exists a key in the Slumbering Forest other than the Guardian Turtle?" Jericho thought of something.
"The Kraken,"
"What?!"
Jericho, Jadiel, and Randy looked at each other in shock.
"Are you serious?" Jericho doesn't want to imagine it.
"I know it is hard to believe, but there's a very good chance it is true," Jude expresses.
"In that case, how do you plan on persuading a Kraken to help us get free from 'The Bridge'?"
"We will think about that after the war is over," Kayn informed them of his plan.
Evidently, they can't do that with the war just around the corner. After all, there's no telling if the Assembly of Freedom would take advantage of that opportunity to bring damages to their side.
Moreover, now that the Assembly of Freedom possess another key, there's the possibility that they also know of the existence of one more key in the Slumbering Forest.
If they don't want anyone else competing against them for the keys, the only way to do that is to defeat the Assembly of Freedom.
"Is the key the reason why you are not telling Old Mayor George yet?"
"Not really," Kayn shook his head. "I am worried about the others,"
He doesn't trust the people that Old Mayor George trusted, especially after what happened back during the meeting. Of course, that's not the main reason why he felt that. In fact, that's just him holding a grudge against them.
The real reason he doesn't trust them is simply because they've barely interacted and after what he went through in the second life, he is very meticulous when it comes to deciding who to trust and not to trust.
Only after interacting with them for a fair bit of time and earning Natas' approval would he start considering trusting them. And that's not even trusting them yet. He still has to see a few more things before that finally happens.
"If we suddenly return, it would definitely raise suspicion among those people. They'll want to know answers, and even if Old Mayor George can do something to prevent them from knowing the truth, they'll still have doubts inside their minds until they are finally satisfied," Kayn doesn't want that to happen as that means there's a gap between each of their allies.
"I guess you're right," Jericho believes now that Kayn's decision of not informing Old Mayor George yet is the correct thing to do. "But we will have to eventually tell him,"
"We will tell him during the war,"
"In that case, he might not have enough time to think of countermeasures,"
"That's why we will do it instead,"
"How?"
"By continuing with our acting,"
"You're really putting me in a lot of serious trouble, Kayn," Jericho sighs.
"We will do it together," Kayn started telling everyone his new idea for the next meeting with Wesley. The latter would definitely come again to inform them of the response of the Assembly of Freedom to their request to join their alliance.
