As soon as the witchcraft man appeared, Ed threw his dagger. He practiced using the dagger on his way here.

He found that the speed can be accelerated when the direction is adjusted a little.

The added speed made the biggest difference. In addition, throwing a dagger into someones head was no big deal foe Ed anymore.

But lions do their best even when they hunt for rabbits. It seems that man thought he could curse Ed as soon as he saw him, but he was too late.

His experience was a little less than that of an intermediate demon.

Ed left Kyle behind him, and calmly approached the witchcraft man. Ed pulled out the dagger on his forehead, and searched his body. The witchcraft man also deals with mysterious techniques, so searching his body is essential because he might have some useful armament.

Ed picked up the two rings worn by the witchcraft man and the orbs, he took them one by one, dragged the witchcraft man's body, and threw them into the prison call where Kyle was.

Kyle stared blankly at Ed. It was because of Isperto, the witchcraft man that he and Leaf suffered.

Caren was related to his father's death, and the moment he heard Kyle's last name, he cursed Kyle.

Even if Kyle knew about his opponent, he could not have won so easily. Ed approached Kyle with a calm face and asked.

"Can you walk?"

Kyle nodded his head. He had a hard time because he was hallucinated, but he didn't have much physical problems. Ed looked back at the prison cells while Kyle stood up.

Perhaps because the witchcraft man died, they only groaned in pain, but their self-harm stopped. But if Ed leaves them, they will soon die. If Ed came with Arin, she would not have let them die.

If Pendragon was here, Ed could tell him about this place and let him handle this. He is a man who killed the great demon, so there is literally no one who can stop him.

But he's not around right now.

Ed needed to talk to Thane about this.

"Do you remember Leaf?"

"I heard that dwarf women are popular as slaves."

Ed saved him, and his skills were extraordinary. In addition, he had a coldness without any hesitation in killing his opponent.

Kyle naturally spoke up.

"They might have already sold her to a slave merchant."

Ed pondered for a moment. Whether to continue the search or take Kyle out first.

Even if Caren was the owner of this place, why would hide people in his own house?

It was possible for him until now because he had a man that can use witchcraft. He could just hallucinate the prisoners like Kyle, tie their limbs, and cover their mouths.

Ed looked at Kyle for a moment. He can't take Kyle to the main building. The security of the main building will be different from here.

The witchcraft man did not have any assistants, whether because he believed in his abilities or to keep secrets, but Caren would be different.

"I need to go to the main building, so take care of people here. Maybe they'll be important witnesses."

Ed said so and cut all the doors of the prison and opened them. Kyle was surprised at Ed's ability to swing a sword and cut down the prison door.

Kyle also began to take care of them because he knew that those trapped here might not just be used for an experiment, but those who Caren had to kill.

Ed moved without waiting any longer.

Ed immediately left the house to locate the boundaries and moved toward the main building.

Ed approached the main building, and he honestly admired it. At the four corners of the main building, four soldiers gathered to stand on the border.

No matter where he enters, one security guard needs to be knocked down. In addition, even if the security guards were knocked down, the next guard shift time was unknown.

Ed wasn't impatient. The main building is such a large mansion that it will take a long time to search inside. So, he waits for their shift time.

It took an hour of hiding in the dark. His shadow cape did not get cold because it had a function to maintain body temperature, but now he is determined to move, so he warmed up.

And he moved toward the guard. The security office was on the second floor, but the walls were not blocked.

Ed leaped as he was running and quickly dug into the security office. Even before the guard saw Ed and opened his mouth, Ed's fist slapped his opponent's chin and passed by.

When one guard collapsed, the other guards turned around. Ed helped them fall on the floor and laid them down roughly.

Ed listened around, but there seemed to be no place to detect the disturbance that occurred here. Ed calmly descended the stairs and looked at the mansion.

It's quite late at night, so it hasn't been long since the lights turned on. Ed approached the mansion because he only had to check if there was Leaf.

Just in time, the place where the security guard was located was near the back door of the mansion, so Ed, who stood in front of it, was able to approach without getting caught by anyone.

Ed saw the locked door, pulled out his sword, cut off the latch using it, and opened the door. The security guards were still quiet because it was cut silently.

Ed went inside, closed the back door again, and listened carefully.

Unlike the house, the sound of words, footsteps, and even breathing of the sleeping came from all over the place. Ed tried moving along with the sound of footsteps.

He doesn't have enough time to go through everything, so he needs to get information.

When Ed moved silently to find the owner of the sound of footsteps, he called joy to himself. The opponent was one of the butlers. Ed, who followed the butler's back, holding a lantern and walking, whispered close to his neck.

"Quiet."

Ed opened the door close to him and went inside, holding him close. It was a place where bowls and teacups were displayed in a display case.

Ed heard that bowls and teacups set in sets are exchanged every season.

Ed opened his mouth standing behind the butler there.

"You can live if you answer my questions. Do you get it?"

Ed calmly continued to talk as the butler nodded.

"I'm looking for a dwarf woman who was caught three days ago. Her name is Leaf. Do you know where she is?"

"A dwarf? A slave merchant would've taken her this afternoon."

As expected, he knew high-quality information because he was a butler.

"What's the name of a slave merchant?"

"It's Walter."

Ed nodded and said coldly.

"I'm letting you live because you didn't see my face."

At the end of the words, Ed slammed the butler in the back of his head and knocked him down. Now that he has got all the information he can get here, it's time to go back and get Leaf.

Ed took off the butler's clothes, tied his arms behind him, squeezed them in the corner, and came out. Ed came out the way he entered and moved straight to the house.

The shift time on the border took more than an hour, so he was able to get without any problems.

Ed returned to the house. Kyle was sitting next to the most seriously injured person there. Kyle jumped up when he saw Ed return alone.

"What happened?"

"He said Leaf was sold to a slave merchant this afternoon."

Kyle clenched his lips.

"We need to hurry. Slave merchants treat them harshly from the first night."

Ed looked at Kyle's eyes for a moment. Seeing that he was so sincerely worried about his friend's safety, he seemed to be a man of proper character.

Anyway, It's was a relief for Ed that this kid was Merjen's friend.

"But who is that person?"

"Oh, he's someone that I treat like an uncle. It was said that he headed here to negotiate with the Magelta Kingdom. They said he was betrayed by the Southern aristocratic union, but I didn't know he would be trapped here."

The person who was sent here to negotiate with the Magelta Kingdom was caught here and cursed?

It smelled like corruption.

Ed looked at the man. He looked like he wouldn't make it out alive. If he bleeds this much, that alone is dangerous.

Ed brought the cape of a dead witchcraft man, tore it apart, and wrapped it tightly in his back. And after putting the shadow cape on top of him, Ed looked back at Kyle.

"You have to get out without getting caught by the security guard. Is your body recovered?"

Kyle couldn't eat properly for three days, but Kyle's eyes were as alive.

"I won't be a burden."

Ed nodded.

"Don't fall behind."

Ed went outside first, looked around, and moved quietly, and picked up some stones.

If he goes in and out alone, he can go out quietly without being caught, but he can't get out without a trace.

He was hiding in the shadow avoiding the guards, and the man on his back groaned.

"Who is that?"

Ed, who hit a stone on the necks of the two guards, looked back at Kyle.

"We need to get out of here quickly. Follow me."

When Ed ran first, Kyle ran without falling behind. Ed is carrying a person on his back and running, and Kyle is running as fast as he can. Ed thought Kyle must be quite a skilled person.

On the way, they met a few more patrol guards, but Ed was able to knock them out with stones. While running like that, other guards must have found those who fell behind.

"It's an intruder!"

Ed saw the lights turn on everywhere and accelerated his pace. Ed, who ran to the wall like that, looked back at Kyle.

"Can you jump over it?"

Kyle shook his head while looking at the wall.

"It's too high."

Ed heard the commotion behind the guards moving with torches and blew four voyages toward the wall. Ed, who threw a dagger into the wall, said quickly.

"You need to jump over it."

Kyle quickly jumped over the wall when he saw the daggers in a zigzag position. Ed recovered all four of the dagger, kicked the wall twice, jumped over the wall, and lightly landed on the floor.

"Ugh!"

Ed sighed when he heard the groan behind him. There was a big commotion behind the scene because of the intrusion.

Ed hid in the shadow of the wall and handed Kyle the roadway. Ed took off the shadow cape and covered Kyle.

"Listen carefully. If you follow this road, there is a place where the roaring lion pattern is drawn on the gate. Tell the guard that Ed sent you there and ask to meet Thane. If you go there, there will be a holy knight, she can help with treatment."

Kyle asked while looking at Ed.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm just going to attract their attention. You need to run as soon as I distract them."

Kyle bit his lips.

"Why are you doing this for me?"

"I'm helping Merjen. You can repay me later."

Ed, who said so, climbed up the wall again. Then he jumped off the wall and rushed toward the main building.

Even if Caren was looking at Pendragon's house, Ed moved with a shadow cape and a bow on his way back and forth. It will not be easy to tell the intruder was Ed because he did not use his arrows.

Ed was quickly discovered because guards were looking at the garden with lights on.

"There he is!"

Ed ran straight toward the main building even as he watched the guards rush in. The face of a skinny man on the balcony of the main building caught his eye.

Although far away, Ed's outstanding eyesight could read the man's sneaky eyes. And the one standing behind him caught his eye.

Ed picked up a stone rolling on the floor, turned his waist, and threw the stone. The person from behind pulled out a sword and swung it.

As it was already expected, the stone went down like a horse in the air. And as it was, it hit Caren's chest. He won't die, but he won't be able to move for a while.

"Ahh!"

Ed, who confirmed Caren collapsing while screaming, began to run away from the soldiers.

"Catch him!"

"Our majesty has been attacked! Catch him!"

The man who swung the sword jumped off the balcony and began to chase behind Ed.
