Chapter 295: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 98
"Wait a minute! Weren\'t you supposed to be a Mage?" Gilbert looks at Wesley with a strange look on his face.
"I…" Wesley doesn\'t want to admit it. Although he is a Mage, he actually barely knows any magic spell because he overly relies on his Gift more than his main class and subclass. He\'s more like a jack of all trades as he doesn\'t have a permanent weapon of choice and would pick whatever suits the current circumstances. As for the magic spells he knows about, they\'re at a similar level to the basic fireball spell.
This was one of the main reasons why he was ordered to stay in the Freedom City and manage it alongside Chief Kylo instead of being given an assignment outside like Maria, Christopher, and the rest of the Assembly Knights.
Unlike Gilbert, Kayn already knew about this as he had been observing Wesley ever since the first time they infiltrated the Assembly of Freedom by pretending as someone interested in forming an alliance with them through the Herald Guild back then in the Daze Village. Moreover, he had glimpses of the latter\'s capability through their shared consciousness every time he activated his charm on Wesley.
"What do we do now?" Gilbert felt worried as it is next to impossible for them to stay like this until morning comes. More importantly, since they are trapped inside, there\'s no way for them to know what exactly is going on outside.
"We have to wait," Kayn responded.
"Wait for what?"
"Perhaps you meant who?" Wesley looks at Kayn, curious about who the latter is trusting to save them from their predicament.
"He won\'t save us, he\'ll just signal us that it is safe outside," Kayn corrected.
"We\'ve been together all this time, how exactly did you communicate with someone else other than the two of us," Gilbert can\'t help wondering.
"Okay, I\'ll be honest with you two," Kayn coughed before finally revealing. "The truth is, I didn\'t come to \'The Bridge\' alone. My father-in-law, Mayor Sebastian, actually sent one of his men to be my bodyguard,"
"A bodyguard?" Gilbert narrowed his eyes. "How come I\'ve never met this guy before?"
"That\'s because he is an assassin just like you and with his high level…"
"How high?"
"I don\'t know, but with the level restriction in \'The Bridge\', his full strength has been greatly restricted ever since,"
"Let\'s say I believe you, how on Earth was he able to come here?"
"He was always with us,"
"I don\'t believe you," Gilbert refuses to believe Kayn no matter how hard the latter explains to him. Just from how Kayn is being very defensive right now, which is not how he normally acts, makes it too obvious that he is lying. Needless to say, he can already guess Kayn will not tell him the truth no matter what.
"I believe him," Wesley started nodding his head as if realizing something.
"You\'re no different from an idiot if you believe his words right now,"
"Well, how else can you explain his confidence and recklessness,"
"That he is just naturally born with that trait," Giblert rolled his eyes as if he is stating the obvious.
"It can also be attributed to the fact that he is confident someone will come and save him once things go out of his control,"
"Perhaps,"
"It can also explain why it is as if he knows almost everything. Perhaps that bodyguard is the one who is communicating with him all the information that he supposedly knows,"
"You\'re being excessive," Kayn\'s head twitched in annoyance. But he can\'t tell the truth that it was because of his experience from the future.
Wesley chuckled before ending his line. "Anyways, let\'s just wait,"
Not long after, the trio heard a sudden knock on the log they are holding.
"It is safe now," Natas muttered which only Kayn could hear.
"Let\'s return to the Dream Village now," Kayn started storing the logs inside his Storage Ring.
As soon as they got out of their hiding spot, both Gilbert and Wesley quickly started looking around in hopes of finding the mysterious bodyguard of Kayn.
Honestly, Kayn got the idea of pretending to have a bodyguard from the recent conversation he had with Kardo about Chief Dennis having bodyguards. It was the best way for him to explain Natas\' identity.
"He\'s really gone," Gilbert was shocked.
"I didn\'t even notice someone approached our cave when I heard the knock just now," Wesley looks at Kayn in admiration. A mysterious powerful bodyguard. The only reason why the latter would have someone like that protecting him is if his status back on Earth is of importance. "It seems like being the son-in-law of Mayor Sebastian isn\'t as bad as you initially described to me,"
Kayn can only let out a weak laugh in response.
"Let\'s go back," Kayn started heading in the direction of the Dream Village.
"I am guessing he\'ll be the one to send us the drawing of Chief Dennis\' supposed bodyguards, right?" Gilbert suddenly asked.
"Yes,"
"I suppose there\'s no need for us to worry about that anymore," Wesley sighed in relief. Now, they just had to wait for Kayn\'s bodyguard to share his findings with them. As for them, they could finally rest after tonight\'s successful operation. Albeit, this isn\'t exactly the same as what they initially came to the Dream Dungeon here to achieve.
Kayn, Gilbert, and Wesley quickly made their way back to the Dream Village because even though they were able to evade the detection of Chief Dennis\' supposed bodyguards, they still have to worry about the Freedom Fang Brigade.
Anytime from now, some soldiers of the Freedom Fang Brigade will come to the Dream Dungeon to check what just happened. Once they arrive, they\'ll most likely set up a perimeter and search the surrounding area to look for clues to explain the sudden explosion.
If they\'re not gone by then, there\'s a good chance they\'ll be caught.
It would be fine as long as they\'re just soldiers of the Freedom Fang Brigade since they can always easily take care of them without any problem and continue on their way. However, if it is Garvin himself, there\'s no telling for certain how exactly everything would play out next.
None of them had to voice it out loud as they all had an unspoken desire to avoid witnessing what might unfold. Hence, they hurried back to the Dream Village as swiftly as their feet could carry them.
