No one stopped him at the main hall. Seemed his disguise was successful. He observed his surrounding and found something interesting.

From the construction, the big pillars, the glass ornaments, and several things, this main hall reminded him about certain building.

"it's like a church.. i wonder if they have a religious place.. ah, should be same concept as Half-beast shrine and their ritual place.." He nodded

He passed the main hall and headed to the north where the soldier base was. He wanted to gather information there and also searched the prison.

He walked through the corridor till he arrived at a front yard with a building that looked like a soldier base.

"several soldiers outside the building.. and that's not a number for patrolling.."

"hey!! you there!"

One of the solider approached him and gave this supiscious look.

"what're you doing here?! don't you hear the order?!"

"... I'm just finished my task at the south prison and told to come here" Yana calmly answered it

"huh?! what kind of task.."

One of his friend tapped his shoulder and whispered to him.

"don't you remember? the task that is given by sir Marleus with those elves as the object"

"that freak alchemist?! no wonder then.." He shaked his head

"you there! are you getting the new order?"

"only told to come here and give an assist"

"haah... that chief is escaping from the prison! our men are already searching in the inside, you can go to the town to check every conduit that lead to the outside of the wall"

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"...roger that"

He thought he could use that reason to get in into the prison, yet that was the last thing that he would likely get. He already realized that those elves corpses were showed some experiment symptoms on their body, especially on their mouth. A dark blue colour could be seen near their lips. He almost succeeded, but now he must dealt with this situation.

"hmm, seems i need to.."

"hey!! listen! that chief already been caught by sir Marleus!!"

Yana turned around and kept listening. This was in one of his worse scenario, and he needed to make sure which step that he would take next.

"really?! that's really helpful.. -sigh- so what's the next order?"

"he will be moved near to the commander's room"

"let me guess, our order is to guard there"

"yeah, for twenty four hours non-stop"

"great.. who's moving him then?"

"dunno. Not me, I'll have dinner first"

"now you've mentioned it.. I'm hungry"

Both of them looked at Yana's direction. He approached them like it was something natural to do.

"new order for you! help the other to move the chief from the prison!"

"yes sir!" Yana replied

They left the place with a satisfied look on their face. Yana also smiled and entered the prison. The outside started to become dark and night would slowly come in a few hours.

"look!! they're coming back from the forest!"

One of the guard at the north gate yelled at his friend. They could see more that twenty soldiers were lining up and headed toward the town.

"wait a minute... are they supposed to be around one hundred? they are the group for hunting wapeer right?"

"well.. that's mean those monsters killing our friends.."

"geez.. wait! there's more of them!... and they bring that Half-beast with them!"

"what? you're right... shouldn't sir Arshon who the one chased that Half-beast?"

"now you've mentioned it.... where's sir Arshon? and where's sir Chillyd? he's the leader of that group right?"

"..... so many confusing things here.. just keep that question in your mind"

".. yeah, it's better that way"

The group arrived at gate and stopped for reporting the situation.

"good work soldiers!! Bar'laghine is really proud with all of you!!"

"yeah... we also capture this monster in the forest.. but.."

"...that's a good news, but why the sad face?"

"sir Arshon...is killed.."

"what?! by that monster??! impossible?"

"do you think i will believe it? if only i don't see it with my own eyes..."

"holy mother... give him your mercy..."

"sir Chillyd still with the rest of the soldier to bring his dead body. We will put this monster in the north prison"

"of course. You better give that monster a punishment that she deserves.."

"don't worry about it. Killing our captain will be paid with a great cost.."

Shanti was tied with some kind of black rope that imbued with some kind of strange letter. That was a magic device.

"you will pay for that monster..."

They entered the town and brought her to the fort.
