19. Rescue (1) – Completely revised
Yuma had no intention of staying at the count’s castle.
Because the being occupying Count Rubelt’s body will somehow try to monitor the group, including himself.
Even if you sneak in. The probability of being caught sneaking in from outside the Count’s castle was significantly lower.
-Murphy, Murphy. Please help my brother. He said he knew where it was.
-Joe, you need to speak quietly. Miss.
Yuma turned her head towards the direction where her voice came from.
A young knight with brown hair was comforting and patting the shoulder of Ruine, a blonde girl with tears in her eyes.
‘The tendency is good.’
[Lv.62] Murphy
Sword Expert intermediate level. The threshold was also intermediate. She was a thirty-year-old prosecutor who had already grown to her limits.
Yuma stared intently at Murphy and Ruine.
Louis You could see in her eyes that you trusted Murphy.
Yuma spoke to Hestia who was next to her.
“Can you remember the smell of that knight and Ruine? We will contact you separately later.”
Hestia nodded her head, perking up her ears hidden in her robes.
“Yes!”
As Yuma left the Count’s castle, she recalled the conversation she had with Ruine in her VIP room a few minutes ago.
-Stay outside the castle at night at all costs. It would be nice if you could bring a trustworthy knight or soldier with you. Then I will come pick you up. Let me help you find your imprisoned brother.
In response to Yuma’s words, Ruine quietly whispered about her place.
-… Bench across from the clock tower.
If Ruine were to go out at night as Yuma said, she would probably be accompanied by a knight named Murphy.

Yuma and Clone. Hestia then filled her fill at a restaurant near the inn and waited for the sun to set.
Hestia rolled her eyes here and there while eating her meal.
She seemed to be looking around, wondering if her missing younger brother might be here.
“You said he wasn’t your real brother, right?”
Clone gazed at Hestia with shining golden eyes. Once it became clear that her sister was not in the restaurant, Hestia, who was a little sullen, nodded her head as she slowly ate her pasta.
“Ugh.”
“Then how did you meet? With that younger brother.”
“I met him in Garbel, a rural village next door. He had an unusual name, Haruk! I saved him from almost being killed by a bear. But he said he was a wanderer too. He said the entire village was burned down by bandits. “He blamed himself for being the only one who escaped.”
It was a common story.
“So we went together. We were the same wanderers. So we succeeded in entering Count Rubelt’s territory together. But on the third day, he suddenly disappeared. It was a rather shabby inn. I told him to wait on the first floor…”
Hestia lowered her head as she explained.
“If we were together, I would have protected you.”
Yuma gazed into Hestia’s green eyes.
“It’s no use blaming yourself for something that has already happened. If you meet your eldest son, Kaisen, who seems to know something about this situation, you might find out something.”
Hestia burst into laughter at Yuma’s indifferent consolation.
“Yes, you will be able to find it.”
The meal ended slowly.
Yuma and the others stood up. I headed to the other side of the clock tower that Ruine had whispered about. Not only Hestia, but also Yuma and Clone were wearing robes.
From noble mtl dot com
“Sniff, I can smell it. I think it’s coming.”
Hestia sniffed her nose.
Yuma looked around. She seemed to know why Louis asked to meet on the bench across from the clock tower.
A tree with very thick branches completely obscured the bench.
“You managed to get out of the castle safely. This night.”
At Yuma’s words, the blonde girl sitting on the bench raised her head.
The girl’s small mouth opened.
“If you climb the mountain in the back, it may take a while, but you can sneak out.”
After hearing those words, Yuma looked at the girl, Ruine. Sweat was beading on my forehead. The blonde hair also appeared to be wet with sweat.
Murphy, the brown-haired knight who was standing next to her, stepped forward.
“Why did you…call Miss Louis?”
“You probably heard that my eldest son, Kaisen, is in prison. And in a special prison where visitors are not allowed.”
“…I think there was some mistake in that. However, it is still an order from His Excellency the Count.”
Yuma and Murphy’s gaze crossed.
“You must have noticed something strange about the count’s behavior recently.”
Murphy’s expression crumpled. Because Yuma was right. The original Count Rubelt’s body was weakening. But he suddenly seemed to have energy and became lively. As if I had been rejuvenated.
And even though incidents of boys, girls, and young men and women disappearing from the count’s house occasionally occurred, he stood by and did not issue any order to take action.
Seeing the count like that, an assumption could not help but sprout in Murphy’s mind. A question that makes no sense in common sense.
Assumption that the count may be involved in a series of disappearances that currently occur in the county.
“The innocent eldest son, Kaisen, is imprisoned in prison where he cannot be visited. That must mean he knows something exactly. Wouldn’t it be worth listening to what the eldest son has to say?”
Yuma stared at her Murphy.
“Guide me to the prison. You know the location, right?”
“…I’ve never been there in person, but I know the location because I heard about it from a senior.”
***
The prison was located in a building rising on the right side of the forest, very far away from the Count’s castle. A prison in a round building.
From a distance, it looked like a huge black tombstone.
“It’s bigger than I thought.”
It was Clone’s voice. Yuma and Hestia’s heads nodded sharply at those words.
Yuma stared at Ruine and Murphy.
“Is that the original prison?”
Murphy responded to that question.
“No. It was originally an abandoned building. It must have suddenly started being used four months ago. And four months ago…It was a time when Count Rubelt changed a little.”
Murphy said with a stern face.
I was finally able to face the truth that I had avoided while feeling an extreme sense of discomfort.
“…It has been four months since children and young people started going missing in the county.”
Yuma opened her mouth again, looking at Murphy who seemed to be in self-destruction for some reason.
“Enter. Slowly.”
In front of the prison, the bushes were littered.
Yuma looked at Hestia.
If And the Miao people in this world are beings with similar abilities, the one who specialized in this kind of infiltration situation was none other than Hestia.
The body is slim and agile. A race with a natural talent for hiding and concealment. Miao people.
It was believed that now was the time to demonstrate the natural abilities of this species.
“Just figure out how many people are watching and how many people there are, and then come. Don’t get caught. Can you do it?”
Hestia smiled, showing her white teeth.
“Then, what race am I?”
Hestia quietly slipped her robe behind her. It seemed like it was interfering with his ability to perform his role as a scout as a member of the Miao tribe. Hestia’s feet in her leather shoes moved.
Sasak-
The sound of footsteps did not spread. Silent.
But Hestia’s body was moving at a fast pace.
Yuma slowly raised her body. And she followed Hestia, who went ahead.
Reconnaissance is just reconnaissance. I was planning to rush in unless the number of security guards was close to 100.
‘And that won’t happen.’
An unidentified prison hidden in the outskirts.
If such personnel are placed in a place like this, security will be reduced. The biggest thing is that Count Rubelt’s security forces are not that high of a level. There is a possibility that monsters may appear in the County of Rubelt. Because it was a place where the probability of foreign powers invading was as small as a fingernail.
‘Probably a small elite.’
There was a high probability that a small number of elite personnel were deployed.
Murphy, Ruine, and Clone followed Yuma.
Sigh…
‘Two people at the entrance.’
Hestia hid behind the shadow of the iron walls of the prison. She then penetrated the inside, bypassing the blind spots of the sentries at the two entrances. She sneaks in quickly using shadows and cover. She quickly and quietly climbed the wall using the strength of her arms and hands and the elasticity of her body.
Hestia’s green eyes were directed to the area beyond the iron bars. And inside, she saw a boy and a girl sitting helplessly with chains tied around her ankles.
Her eyes quickly scanned the children’s faces. But she could not see the face of Haruk, her younger brother, whom she was looking for.
‘Haruk… !’
I wanted to go around this round prison and look at the faces of everyone trapped in these rooms, but I didn’t have time right now.
The fastest thing is to completely neutralize the power of this prison and then quickly search every room.
Hestia hid her body in the shadows and captured all the troops in her sight. There are approximately 18 soldiers that can be seen walking around. A large man in front of the door to the east. Other than that man, there were no special military personnel visible.
Hestia quickly came down from the prison using the shadow as her friend. And he returned to Yuma’s side just as quietly and quickly as he had left.
Something rose from Yuma’s shadow. Before I knew it, Hestia had arrived next to me.
“How was it?”
“I only saw one person worthy of attention. To the east, visible as the entrance. And…There are children locked in the prison. I think they might be children related to the disappearance case. First, I need to subdue the visible troops and take a closer look at the prison. “I think I’ll do it.”
Hestia paused for a moment and stared at Ruine.
“Oh, I’m not sure if there was an eldest son Kaisen or not.”
Murphy, the knight next to me, opened his mouth.
“You’re probably trapped underground. No matter what variables arise, they’ve probably made it so that you can’t escape easily.”
Yuma gazed into Hestia’s green eyes after finishing the briefing.
Eyes that tremble thoughtfully. She probably never found her own close brother.
“Go in.”
If there were only 18 troops, there was no need to secretly infiltrate. Yuma headed east.
I was planning to take down the strongest guy holding on at the entrance first.
“Grrr….”
It was a gloomy sound that did not seem to come from a human mouth. A red glow shone in the eyes of a large man who appeared to be about three meters tall.
Her eyes were looking directly at Yuma, who was approaching her with her steady steps.
“Don’t hesitate and take them down. Only then can you rescue them safely.”
Hestia and Clone nodded their heads loudly at Yuma’s words.
“…What should I do?”
Murphy did not yet have her weapon in her hand.
“Judge for yourself, knight of the count.”
Yuma moved forward.
