Chapter 102 Infiltrating the Auction house (2)

Having got the map I made sure to lay waste to all the barriers of the auction house.

Having had what I needed I made a move and one by one I spotted the guards at every occasion and I would either incapacitate them or avoid them if possible.

And once that is done I would go and

This goes on for a few minutes until the last of the targets that I need to take off is just the main Barrier that is the core of the auction house defense.

Now then I just hope for them to stall a lot of time for this. Hoping for the Lakewood sisters success he started to walk towards the area where the Main corfe of the barrier was.

~~~~~

[Sold.]

Staunting in the stage the lady host announced the item being sold, and with it her face filled with smiles.

And not wanting to waste everyone's time She started to prepare for the finale of the day.

[Now we are at the final three items please wait till we prepare them as they are very valuable.]

And observing all this the Lakewood sisters sighed as they were finally at the last part of the auction's event.

"Woah to think we would reach this far.

Yeah I didn't even notice he left some coins here."

"Why does he have this? Is he trying to show off or something?"

"You can't say that sis we just have to be thankful that we can stall for time this way."

"But won't we be implicated from this?"

"No worries, I already talked to one of the soldiers when they visited the church. And they said that they already have a target for this."

"Oh you did, but wouldn't that be dangerous for them?"

"Maybe because of my position they said it?"

"I guess that's true. But why are you going there all the time?"

"Come on sis you can't say that. I just wanted to help a little, that's all."

"But you know what will happen later right isn't it better for you to stay out of them till you know."

"It's okay sis even if I stay there in the future I will still visit you guys from time to time."

"Haaah, you really are kind hearted to a fault huh?"

"Ehehe, sorry about that."

"Fine as long as I can stay with you some more nothing else matters."

"My, we have a spoiled child here."

[Now here we are with the last three items first we shall see you with this, the legendary artifact.]

"Get ready sis it might be time for the real battle."

"Yeah let's use all this money if we have to.

Sis, don't make that scary face."

"How can you know I have a scary face can't you see this cute cat mask?"

"I know but from what I feel and your gesture you are up to no good."

"Tch fine I will only use it if needed. I mean it's not my fault that he left twenty orichalcum coins."

"Please do so in moderation."

With that the stalling of the two began giving enough time for the Government officials to apprehend the involved group.

"Achoo, sniff. What was that sudden chill I felt? I hope it was nothing. Anyway I need to get in and finish this."

After looking around and checking the map I have finally located the center area of the main barrier of the Auction House.

As I got inside the area that is marked as the main source of the defense of the auction house. I heard the sound of a child crying.

Looking over to see what it was I saw a man dragging the kid to a certain area of the auction house.

"Uwaahh nooo!"

"Quiet kid!"

The man yelled as he smashed the box near them, which worked as the kid became silent. And to add more fear into him he said as he pointed at the box.

"You are going to be next after this so if you are not obedient then I will make it even more painful."

With no choice the kid held his head down but upon seeing this I rushed fast behind the man without him noticing and knocked him out unconscious

Seeing that I succeeded I hurriedly went towards the kid asking for his condition.

"Are you okay kid?"

"Ah, y-yes sir?"

"Good, where are the others?"

Realizing that he was the only one here means that the other kids are in another place since he got caught. He might know something so I should ask for now.

"They are in the basement. They said that they are going to send them to another country and I included they just have to move us there then we will be transferred at least that's what I heard from him."

The kid, although nervous, answered my question in full detail as he pointed at the man that gave him the information.

But this kid is smart to think he could remember what the kidnapper has said.

Not anyone can remain calm in this situation but he did as he explained to me word for word.

Still hearing the word basement and transferring to another country, made me think of one possibility.

"A space teleportation device?"

'That's impossible unless they have ten rank seven magicians working together for it to work. Unless they have a huge formation like the Saga Main castle which is impossible when compared to the size of this auction house.'

And if they did find a way then we are in trouble. So I indeed to stop them before they sent the kids to another country'

"Can you please show me the way?"

"I can't, I only heard it from them. I just came here and from the looks of it I am the last one they were about to be sent out."

Shaking his head the kid said the reason for not knowing and that he might have been the last to be sent out.

Then I guess I need to find a way in somehow. Either way you need to leave this map. I have some marks here, don't go near there and possibly you can pass by certain sections and leave.

"I can't read a map sir."

"Okay. Here follow the red line just watch out because guards patrol near these areas."

"Okay sir thank you."

After giving him some direction the kid then left with the map, SInce I already memorized it I know most of the areas around here. The only plan I need to do now is to locate the basement.

From the way the guy dragged the kid the basement should be near the main barrier of the auction house.

If what I thought is right then I could strike two birds with one stone with this. But first I need to save children inside before I could destroy the main barrier. "Jake, Litia I hope you guys are okay."

Rushing to the direction that seems to have the basenment I found poeple guarding the huge gate. So I steadily got in by climbing the walls to bypass the area and stealthy evaded the guards inside.

Good thing I made some improvements to this suit if not then it will be hard. With that I was I able to avoid getting noticed

Glad that I made some improvements with my equipments I concentrated in avoiding the guards I entered the huge gate that was opened when a personale got in.

Steadily climbing up the walls I find some passages they go through and as they close the door I start looking around and at the right moment I attack the guards that were holding the keys.

"What the? Kuh"

"Intrude-. Guh"

Before they could even call for help the two guards were knocked unconscious. After that I tied them up and covered their mouths.

And having accomplished to get my hands on the keys I have now access to the door that may lead to the basement.

So I entered it after placing the incapacitated men to the side and as that was done I started to go in and navigate the place.

And since it wasn't big I was able to locate the children. And with them were the kidnapers.

After finding them I started by observing the kidnappers and just like the people outside they were just thugs with a strength of between one to three ranks.

As I was observing them, the kidnappers started talking to each other in an annoyed tone.

"When is the last guy coming?"

"He should be here by now what's the delay."

"I heard the kid he brought with him is smart."

"Smart? It is just a kid that is able to read so of course the kid is considered smart."

"That's not all that kid was- ugh"

"Huh?"

Noticing that they were not on guard of any intruders. I took advantage of their loose guards and knocked them all at once.
