Chapter 1068 - Freedom?

Looking at the sh.i.p.s that sailed into the snowy showers, Jingo's hairs stood all at attention.

If his guess is accurate, way ahead, on the waters, should be countless sh.i.p.s with the bit residing in one of them.

They had probably brought an entire army here just to take the boy, so going after them would only end up badly for them.

Of course, on the way to this Hamunaptra place, Jingo hoped that these bastards would meet with doubtless pirate sh.i.p.s and possibly die at sea.

He didn't know where Hamunaptra was, but he felt that it was too far away from here, meaning that they should at least run across hundreds of pirate sh.i.p.s along the way.

After watching the sh.i.p.s fade away into the snowy showers, Jingo quickly turned around and headed back towards one of the estates.

For now, he needed to get some shut eyes... Because tomorrow will be a busy day.

With that, the men who appeared so suddenly, once again disappeared, returning the town to its desolate state.

Time passed by quickly, and after 2 whole days of sailing on the pirate sh.i.p.s, they found a safe spot that was estimated to be far away from any impending dangers.

They docked in one of the towns, freed both slaves and rowers. Of course, they distributed the treasures on the sh.i.p.s as well, which seemed to be just right.

(**Cough. Cough~~... Landon had kept a bunch in his space.)

They only planned on taking doc.u.ments with them since they would abandon these sh.i.p.s and swim towards the underwater sh.i.p.s that had been following dispatched earlier on when they reported in early this morning.

.

~Ching!

"You... Free!"

Emilia's hands trembled in disbelief when these strange people incurred her chains.

Over the course of their travel, these people never harmed them, constantly provided food to them and even looked after their wounds.

The only thing that made her doubt their motives was the fact that these people still kept them chained up.

But now that she was freed, their actions all made sense to her.

There must've been a reason why they didn't free them earlier on.

Nonetheless, she was more grateful than ever.

Did this mean that the heavens answered her prayers?

~Plop.

"~Oooooooo~~"

While holding Killian's leg, she dropped to the ground and soiled his shoes with her tears.

"You!... Free you because you're worthless!"

Eh?

She choked on her tears

So these people were trying to be mean to them, and we're driving them away, saying that they were a bother and would slow them down?

Intuition told her that this wasn't the case.

But with the stern manner in which they said it, she had no choice but to believe it.

She sniffed her nose in embarrassment and stood up, before bowing again in the is.

Whether they intended to save her or not, they still did it.

And that fact would never change.

That's why she was more grateful than ever.

.

Seeing her finally leave, Killian was inwardly pleased that she got the message.

He was a bad guy, okay?

Bad guy! Bad guy!

Or... Could it be his acting?

Was he not acting right?

No! He can't mess the plan up!

Thinking like that, he continuously released his murderous aura, making many other slaves around tremble in fear.

Yes. He was a bad guy.

So it was only because their presence was annoying that they decided to free them?

Then thank the heavens for making them inconveniences.

As for why they shared the pirate wealth with them... apparently, it was also because it was inconvenient for them to travel with so much treasure.

These people seemed to move like assassins.

So it made sense that carrying numerous c.h.e.s.ts filled with treasures would only slow them down too much.

Imagine them carrying c.h.e.s.ts of treasures and fleeing?

It was indeed a convenience.

After all, one shouldn't forget the dangerous battle that recently took place.

Do you think that those pirates would let such a thing slide?

So these foreigners needed to flee as fast as they could.

That's why they had to carry less with them.

Yes. Yes. Yes... This all made sense now.

Once again, these slaves thanked their lucky stars that these foreign assassins were on the run.

Again, these people also treated their wounds earlier on because they had initially planned to take them out on the sea and didn't want them dying.

But somewhere along the line, they changed their minds since it all seemed like a bother.

And from the looks of it, even these sh.i.p.s seemed like a bother to them too.

They've probably only now decided to abandon these pirate sh.i.p.s behind since other pirates would notice it and give them trouble too... Meaning their destination should be far.

So now, the more words these foreigners said about how much of an inconvenience they were, or how they were nothing, worthless and a nuisance, everyone just smiled more and more.

So let them go and give them part of these treasures.

Hahahahhaha!

After cracking the 'code,' these slaves started to feel very intelligent.

Damn, they were good.

(^_^)

~Din. Dim. Din. Din. Din.~~

Emilia moved through the massive crowd of freed slaves on the deck and turned around nonstop, looking for her mother.

"Mama... Mama!... Mama?"

Her eyes darted back and forth, side to side and in all directions, just to find a fighter that looked similar to her mothers.

It wasn't until she went on her knees and begged one of these foreigners for help, was she able to locate her mother.

"Mama!"

The duo higher each other silently while thinking of all that they had gone through.

Emilia's mother had wanted to kill herself after getting defiled, but some strange but mocking words from one of the assassins changed her mind.

Of course, most of what the assassin said was vicious, cruel, wicked and very moving.

But, the message did go through.

Thinking in a new way, she decided to live for herself and her daughter.

Seeing how worried her daughter was, she knew that her choice was correct.

If she died, wouldn't her daughter be too heartbroken that she might even follow her into the afterlife as well?

Listening to the assassin commenting on the changes around Deiferus' Capital city... she decided to move there and settle down.

In fact, the assassin had just been warning her to stop crying or else they would kill her, just like he killed some people in the Capital city.

But the information he dropped within his warning gave her the idea to move.

With everyone united, and all treasure distributed, the 'foreign assassins' finally abandoned the sh.i.p.s and headed into the nearby woods.

Their mission was over!
