Book 2: Chapter 47: It isn’t Necessarily Love

“Okay. So what now?”

We arrived on the 1st location indicated on the map. However, upon arriving, I discovered that there was nothing special present. In fact, there wasn’t even any obvious weakness present. Rapping the jet black wall, I discovered that there was not a single difference in the sound produced from any other wall.

The so-called weakness was basically absent!

“I don’t know.” faced against this, Weir shook her head, causing her to appear as though she was at her wit’s end.

Since the construction could not be damaged even by a 9th rank Explosion Magic, wanting to blast this wall apart wouldn’t be as simple as pasting the Explosive Scroll onto the wall or shoving it in a corner. The most effective method would be to stuff the scroll into the interior portion of the wall. Only by doing so would it be able to affect the interior construction of the wall.

However, without talking about shoving into the interior of the wall, there wasn’t even a single mouse hole present on this metal wall! Do I really need to use my Sacred Artifact to dig a hole out?

Yes...it would indeed be extremely simple to do so if I use my Sacred Artifact. However, Eleanor had clearly thought out of her plan since long ago. If she had even factored my appearance as well as my Sacred Artifact, it would truly be extremely frightening.

Just when I was considering the need of my Sacred Artifact, Weir suddenly pulled the corner of my blouse before pointing towards a location that was slightly lighter in color than the rest:

“There’s a hole there.”

A hole? I bent over to take a closer look, only to discover there is indeed a hole approximately two fingers wide on the wall. The surroundings of the hole are slightly lighter in color than the other areas, and it looks like there was something that had been stuffed there. However, that thing doesn’t seem to be too strong. It might have been completely destroyed or blasted away by the heat waves from the Explosion Magic, revealing the small hole hidden behind it.

Taking out a scroll, I discovered that it fits just right. Furthermore, its depth was sufficient to fit the entirety of the scroll.

“I should praise Eleanor to be able to do such a thing in this tightly guarded auction house.”

From the smooth surfaces of the hole, it clearly has been dug up using some kind of sharp tool. Looks like Eleanor has been preparing to execute this plan for a very long time.

“Of course, big sis Eleanor’s very awesome,” Weir replied in happiness, an expression that I’m seeing for the first time ever.

I feel that she seems a lot happier when Eleanor gets praised instead of herself. Looks like their relationship is really deep.

“Can you give me a brief introduction to Eleanor as a person?” On our way to the next destination, I took this opportunity to try to get a better understanding of this smart collaborator of mine.

“Of course!” Upon hearing that it was about Eleanor, Weir immediately responded with gusto. Compared to the earlier stuttering, words started to pour out of her mouth like a continuous fountain.

“It was when I just got captured and was feeling extremely frightened. At that moment, she consoled me just like how a big sister would. That person was big sis Eleanor. Just like a big sis, she is very kind to everyone. Therefore, basically all of the slaves adore her. Furthermore, she’s also very awesome! It was big sister Eleanor that stuck her head out for us when those guards bullied us.”REaad updated stories at n/o/vel/bin(.)com

“Are you sure this is the only way up?”

I said as I pointed towards the jet black staircase, praying for Weir to count me wrong. However, Weir proceeded to nod her head with resolution.

“Ah...this will be troublesome.” I could not help but to clutch my head in pain.

How good would it be if there’s another passageway to use! If there’s only one passageway, there’s a possibility of our enemies sealing up the exit completely, lying in wait for us to jump right into their jaws.

“I was thinking why no one has been coming down from there for such a long time. Looks like they’re all waiting up there...”

Exactly how did those fellows know that we’ll definitely head up there?

“That...what should we do?”

“What else?” I quietly grit my teeth: “We’ll just have to rush straight up! At worst I’ll just toss another Explosive Scroll.”

“Hold tight.” Grabbing hold of Weir’s soft hand, I proceeded to take out a scroll.

“Let’s go!” with a low roar, I rushed forward with Weir.

The staircase is in a stereotypical zig-zag shape. Only by rushing past the corner will one be able to see the situation above. As we rushed up, I could not help but think about those people rubbing their hands together as they waited for us.

Just as I placed my feet on the staircase, I heard an extremely soft voice ringing out. The voice had an extremely respectful tone to it, just like how a subordinate would use when reporting to their higher-ups.

From the looks of it, they’ve already discovered us. Nevertheless, there was nothing else we could do.

Shaking these thoughts out from my head, I mentally prepared myself as I rushed forward.

As we rounded the tight corner, we discovered that there was no net or formation waiting for us. Instead, it was just a black-clothed middle-aged gruff-looking uncle half-kneeling before a Spectrum Stone, which is projecting the image of a red-clothed old man.

Both the gruff-looking uncle and the red-clothed old man were shocked to see me and Weir suddenly appearing before them. Nevertheless, it was impossible for me to pull my brakes now.

Therefore...the only thing left was a glorious collision...

However, just at the instant of the collision, there wasn’t even an ounce of fear within me. Because...in a straight out collision...

This princess has never lost before...
