When the heroes go inside the mansion some guards were knocked out in the process, thanks to that in the night very few guards are patrolling and being a viscount one of the lowest rank of nobles don't give enough money to have an army of guards, the intrusion started smoothly.
"First we will search the first floor than the second floor, if you find something to remember to contact us if you don't find anything come back here, if you think are done help the others, Ikne, Circuz and Hadezi go to the weast side, Vikam, May and I will go to the east, any question?" said Mureus.
"Yes I" said Hadezi.
"What?" asked Mureus.
"What not only searching for Jaile?, if she entered earlier than use then maybe she did the same as we will do, that not mean if she is not here is because the passage to the slaves is on the second floor?" said Hadezi.
That comment irritated Mureus because that means negligence on her part.
"Yeah maybe you are right and the passage is not on the first floor but maybe Jaile couldn't find it when she searched here, better be safe and search again, sadly we didn't ask Jaile about her abilities, so we are not sure if you are right." said Mureus.
"Got it, no more questions" said Hadezi.
With that the heroes start their search. Meanwhile, Zutti and Ehfih started the creation of the magic barrier around the mansion.
"First I will need to make a circle around the mansion, Ehfih uses this to make a circle around the mansion" said Zutti while taking out a staff with a shiny crystal in it.
"What is this?" asked Ehfih.
"This is a magic gem that has the properties of resonating with the magic power and amplify it, made the circle with the part of the gem while releasing magic power" said zutti.
"!!... How do you have this?, the value of this crystal is the same as the treasure of Jaile" said Ehfih astonished.
"Jaile is not the only hero with treasures of their kingdoms, May and Ikne surely have treasures too, now go, the sooner we end the barrier the sooner we will go too" said Zutti.
"I am going"said Ehfih.
Then the preparations for the magic barrier begun.
----------------------------------------
Jaile was going down to a super slow speed thanks to the elevator, with the time to think Jaile started to ponder about the technological advance that is the elevator.
"(How this elevator working?, pulleys system maybe?, sadly I don't know about mechanics to be so sure about it)" thought Jaile.
After ten minutes Jaile arrive at the underground facility, and what she saw made her impressed, the places was illuminated with lanterns of oil, there was a road with cells on both sides of it, the people were inside them, but no one could tell they were prisoners, they are clean, with good clothes, no one can see them starving or dehydrated, also somewhere sleeping soundly like they don't have any concerns in the world and some of them were laughing too! with the cells, a man made tunnel where Jaile couldn't see the other end.
"This is a well-made tunnel almost like if a machine was used" said Jaile while pondering if this world has a machine like a drill.
"Well, well, what we have here?, an intruder and a very young one" said a raspy voice.
"!!!, Who are you!?, you work for Bryce!?" shouted Jaile.
With her shouts Jaile attracted the attention of the slaves, some of them wondered if she was someone else who work with the viscount or if she will join them too and some of them not care at all.
"Is not a custom to introduce yourself when you meet a new person?" asked the raspy voice.
"I need to say, it was YOU who meet the new person, I still do not have the pleasure" said Jaile.
"He he he~, true, sadly I think that will never happen, please, die" said the raspy voice
When the raspy voice ended his talk, walking shadows come out, with creepy red eyes, and taking the form of a deadly beast.
"Phantom, how much biometal energy we have?" asked Jaile.
"(Full we never use it)" said Model P.
"Good, sadly we will use all of it today" said Jaile.
"(Maybe, but I am detecting a compatible energy we can use to replace the biometal energy, is in your body and is a large supply too, enough to replace the energy plant in our world)" said Model P.
".........YEAH!" shouted Jaile in joy.
Jaile think the energy Model P detected in her is magic power, because as Mida say she has big magic power capacity and Mida also told her that when she transmitted her magic power to Jaile, she also expanded her capacity, with that in mind Jaile become overjoyed now the abilities of the armors are at her disposal Jaile will use them without restraint.
"The first time I see a mad intruder, tell me girl, you become crazy because of my creatures?" asked the raspy voice.
"No, actually is because I am overjoyed, I can train my abilities in this fight!" shouted Jaile.

"He he he he~, well we will see that" said the raspy voice.
----------------------------------------
When the circle was made around the mansion, Zutti started her chant to make the barrier.
"My part here is done, the rest is up to you" said Ehfih.
Because once started the chant can't be interrupted Zutti only nod her head, the chant will take two minutes to end, in that time Zutti could be an easy target, so she will need of Ehfih to defend herself.
"Only a little more to made it, I hope we are not late" said Ehfih with concern.
With that started the two minutes that feel like two hours to the heroes.
"Nothing on the first floor" said Mureus.
After ten minutes Mureus and the other heroes ended their search on the first floor.
"Something is not good about this place, we saw very few guards doing patrols and others were sleeping that not made sense" said Ikne frustrated.
Unknown to them Jaile using her inhuman strength knocked out all the guards stationed in the rooms and to made it credible, she put them in poses that appeared like they were watching quietly or sleeping in the difficult cases, so when the heroes saw the ones that were "sleeping" and discovered that the others who were "watching" weren't moving at all they felt like something was not right, all except of one healer elf.
"That surely was Jaile's doing" said Hadezi.
Mureus frustrated with the optimistic elf asked her.
"Hadezi, why do you have so much faith in hero Jaile I know that she already proved her abilities defeating Circuz, but we never saw her combat abilities, and we are not entirely sure about what is said of her, it could be overestimating her and actually not deserved to be called a hero" said Mureus.
Hearing his point of view the other heroes also started to whisper that he is right but with that point then Hadezi started to become irritated to Mureus too.
"You have a point there, is difficult to trust someone who you are not sure if his or her abilities, but that also goes to you Mureus, we only know you use an axe, that's all and maybe you have good strength by being of the minotaur race, but that not mean you have what it takes to have the title of hero, remember you still not proved yourself" said Hadezi.
Mureus now was angry, he was but couldn't say a word, Hadezi was right, and for worst he actually shared much less than Jaile, he decided to not tell of his past or abilities, but still he has more credit than Jaile, in the search May and Vikam for little he did, they saw he can be reliable to some extent.
"Yeah you are right, but I'm here working with all of you and Jaile she simply go all by herself and maybe she got captured by the enemy right now" said Mureus.
"I don't think so" said Hadezi in a cheerful way.
"Why are you defending Jaile so much Hadezi, you barely know her" said Mureus.
"We need to trust us, and Jaile is not the exception may not be capable of using magic but her powers need to be trusted if not then, what about ourselves?" said Hedezi.
"......You really have faith in Jaile no?" asked Mureus.
"Well more than I know her strength, I was there when she fought with Circuz, still before she used her armors she endured some of his fists and made damage to him, but the best part was when she used her armors, believe me, with her armors maybe she is more powerful than some of us!" said hadezi excited.
With her declaration the other heroes including Circuz become speechless if what Hadezi said was true then she could handle a great amount of the heroes and could accomplish missions alone, making the other heroes almost useless, but she still will need a mage and a healer.
"Wait a minute!, how do you go to the human capital?, the distance is big enough to be incapable of reach it in two or three days still for me, how you could see it?" asked Ikne.
"I am friend with Zutti, and she already went to the human capital to learn for great sorcerer Mida, she knows transportation magic and both of us saw Jaile and Circuz match, sadly we couldn't assist the royal family at that moment of need, and we go back to our places because we need to end our works there" said Hadezi.
"But-" tried to say Ikne but was interrupted by Hadezi.
"This is not the place to have a chat, we already lost time we need to find the slaves" said Hadezi.
After Hadezi finished talking the floor around them break making a hole, something, correction, someone was thrown to the sky, to be exact is Jaile in her Model P armor unlucky to her the barrier around the mansion was already made, and she crashed into it.
"......The good thing is that we found the slaves" said Ikne.
"But now we have an army of shadow puppets to fight" said Circuz.
Circuz is seeing a lot of shadow beings with creepy red eyes in different forms were coming out of the hole in the floor.
