"Do you understand now?" Lirian asked Sobby and Chatty.
"You currently have nothing left to lose, which makes this the highest point of your lives," Lirian said to the two of them, "What do you plan on doing now that you have nothing left to lose?" Lirian asked the two.
The eyes of the man in the other cage were lit up until Lirian questioned them, he looked at the steel chains binding his hands and the thick bars of his cell hopelessly, "There isn't anything we can do as we are?" he sighed out despondently.
On the other hand the noble lifted her nose proudly, "Speak for yourself," she said, "I still have somethings left to lose!" she said with a haughty attitude.
Lirian chuckled coldly, "Like what? Your chastity?" Lirian asked in a chastising tone.
"You're locked behind steel bars and your hands are bound by chains, you're as good as sold to the highest bidder, and you know as well as I do that your precious chastity won't last long after you're taken away," Lirian admonished her.
Sobby gulped nervously, "I'm really smart, back home I used to handle all my father's taxes, if I tell them about my skills, they might give me important duties to take off," she said holding her head high.
Lirian laughed and nodded his head, "You're right, they'll give you responsibilities, but you should know that a lot of men have fantasies about screwing a woman who is hard at work, if you work really hard your new master will have even more fun with you,"
Sobby's eyes widened in terror and she turned to look at the man in the other cage, it was dark and hard to see him but Sobby could vaguely make out that the man was nodding his head.
"If you'd like I could help you get out of here and since the two of you are novice spellcaster's it might just be possible for you to make a successful escape," Lirian said with a grin.
The two both got up in shock and looked at Lirian, neither of them mentioned that they were cultivators so they couldn't understand how Lirian knew, even more so they had no clue about how Lirian knew that they were spell casters.
"You two are truly trash I must say," Lirian mocked the two, "To be spell casters yet to be unable to perform a basic energy manipulation to open the locks of your cages and cuffs," Lirian ridiculed the two.
"But like I said I have a way to help you escape," Lirian said.
Chatty and Sobby both looked at Lirian with uncertainty when they saw him wave his hand and in the next second the sound of metal hitting metal rang out from Sobby's cage.
Sobby looked down and saw a set of keys on the floor of her cage, "How do you have this?" she cried in surprise and picked up the keys.
"I swiped it off the guard after he locked me up," Lirian said with a shrug of his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
"I'd advise that you use it quickly, before the guard realises that his keys are missing," Lirian advised as Sobby who was still looking at the keys in shock.
In the next moments Sobby removed her shackles and opened her cage as quietly as possible before rushing to the other man's cage.
She opened the gate and handed him the keys to undo his own cuffs.
When Chatty stepped out of his cage, Sobby openly gapped at him with a look of complete disbelief, "You're an elf," she muttered, "An actual pure blood male elf," she said with complete disbelief etched across her face as she looked at his long pointy ears.
"How did you even get here? I thought that males weren't allowed to leave Elmguard," she muttered in a daze.
The elf gritted his teeth and walked past Sobby without answering her question, he didn't look to have any desire to answer either.
He approached Lirian's cage and went to open it when Lirian suddenly stopped him, "What do you think you're doing little elf?" Lirian asked.
Chatty raised a brow at Lirian for calling him little and Lirian could feel the scorn, it was like the elf was saying he was to short to be calling other people little.
"We'll escape together, once we are out we'll go our separate ways," Chatty said.
"Well aren't you sweet, I'm pretty sure that I can go pretty far on my broken legs," Lirian replied sarcastically.
Chatty looked at Lirian's legs with concern, "If not for you I wouldn't be able to escape, I'll take you with me," he said with conviction.
Lirian sighed, "As much as I appreciate the sentiment Chatty, if I wanted to leave I'd have said so,"
"You don't want to escape," Sobby said finally coming out from her trance, "Why are you helping us escape then,"
"That's because I have plans of my own Sobby," Lirian answered mysteriously.
"Like what?" Sobby snapped back while folding her arms under her breast, "And stop calling me Sobby," she said in an irritated voice, "My name is Amelia," she added.
"Nothing that you need to know Sobby," Lirian said in an amused tone.
Amelia clenched her fists, she was just trying to repay the favour for helping her escape, yet al she got was Lirian being snarky.
"My name is Ithlan by the way," Chatty introduced himself, "Why help us escape, only for you to stay behind?" he questioned Lirian.
Lirian chuckled, "Oh my dear Chatty, that's for me to know and you to…" Lirian trailed of but not before flashing Ithlan a mischievous smile.
"Now come closer so I can give you a method to successfully escape, because with your current mediocre skills, you'll get caught before you leave the building and even if you manage to make it out, you'll likely get captured in no time at all," Lirian said and reached out his hands to the heads of the two.
The two of them looked at Lirian sceptically, but ultimately followed Lirian's wishes, without Lirian's help they'd still be stuck inside their cages.
When Lirian placed his hand on their heads he transferred a simple spell for them to avoid being detected, so long as they didn't get to close to someone with a high perception, it would be difficult for anyone to detect them.
Other than that, he also gave them a couple of spells that they could use to slightly alter their appearance.
In the middle of doing so Lirian had an amusing idea and brought up his guide to first accord cultivation.
After a brief amount of consideration Lirian decided to place it in their minds as well, but he decided that if their minds couldn't handle it he would not waste his fate particles by attaching it to their fate strings like he did with Ella and Elsie.
After a few moments the process completed successfully on the two, Lirian was actually surprised that the noble girl could handle it, she did seem to be rather weak willed to him, but apparently he was wrong about her.
Ithlan and Amelia both took a step back in shock, they processed the info in their heads with utter disbelief and kept looking at Lirian like he was some sort of ghost or spectre.
"Just who exactly are you, or rather what are you?" they asked with frightened expressions, the knowledge that they had in their heads, they knew that it was no ordinary knowledge, this was the kind of stuff that even the heavenly emperors would wage wars to obtain, yet this seemingly ordinary man gave it to them, without a second thought.
"I already told you didn't I," Lirian said in an amused tone and rewrote the 'ɱ' rune on his hand for the two of them to see.
Their eyes opened wide in fright as they stepped away from Lirian, this time neither of them thought Lirian was crazy or making things up, with the knowledge he just gave them, they'd be ready to accept it if he told them he was a god.
"Now run along," Lirian said with a wide grin, "And remember you have reached you highest point, from here on out, you can only climb higher, and I expect you to climb high in this world, because if you don't make good use of my gift, I'll personally hunt you down and rip you apart," Lirian laughed aloud as the two retreated.
"Foooh," Lirian let out a breath, "Hopefully that will buy me some time," Lirian muttered softly.
He wasn't hopeful at all about the two escaping, but Lirian just needed them to disappear for a day or two.
With help of the system, Lirian was able to learn that the elf was the real treasure that the bearded man who brought him in spoke about.
Without the elf, it was likely that they would have to cancel the auction, after all he was the main attraction.
If the auction house still held the auction, their reputation would take a severe hit, even if they cancelled, their auctions reputation would take a hit, and make it less likely for any collectors to return if he was put forward in any future auctions.
Lirian sat back in his cage and hoped that what he did was enough.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
