Abel's Escape Plan (Part 2)

The Wochak Mountain Mithril Mine is like a beautifully crafted miniature mountain town, with the mine located in an alley on the west side of the castle at its lowest point.

The residence of the Mine Owner Abel was located at the very top of the entire castle. This mansion, which resembled a hanging garden, was built on the mountaintop. To walk back to the courtyard from the city gate, one had to climb a long series of stone steps.

With a gloomy face, the Mine Owner Abel returned to the magnificent courtyard. In the past, every time he returned to this exquisite courtyard, he would stand on the steps and look down over the entire Mithril Mine. But today, the Mine Owner Abel was not in the mood for that at all. He walked straight back to the main hall of the mansion alone.

After the mine Mine Owner Abel, disbanded the Mine Private Army of the mine, even the elven servants in the courtyard disappeared.

The empty hall was deserted and quiet. The Mine Owner Abel, glanced at his lover, Olysses, who was anxiously waiting in the hall.

Olysses, dressed in a tight-fitting leather armor that accentuated his muscular physique, stared at the Mine Owner Abel. He quickly stood up, ran to Mine Owner Abel's side, grabbed Mine Owner Abel arm, and said in a panic, "Abel, a group of Half-Elf Warrior just broke in here and took away my elf servants without saying a word..."

Pushing Olysses aside, the Mine Owner Abel, sat in his leather sofa. He had no time to think about these matters; his mind was preoccupied with one question: should he obediently be taken back to Padesto City by the Elf Warrior arranged by the Mine Owners, Roy, to face trial, or should he flee the Wochak Mountain Mithril Mine overnight with the wealth he had accumulated over the years and his lover, Olysses?

In the more than one hundred years since the establishment of this Mithril Mine, the Mine Owner Abel, has accumulated an astonishing fortune. If he can bring this fortune back to the Elf Continent, he can live a comfortable life even if he returns to Buenos.

However, if one were to use this money to bribe the Silvermoon Elven Nobles jury in hopes of getting off the verdict, the wealth accumulated over the years would probably be insufficient.

The Mine Owner Abel was still very reluctant to Mithril Mine, which he had poured almost half his life's blood into creating such a magnificent palace.

He had to put in a lot of effort to win over the chief of the local headhunter tribe.

In addition to the supply of weapons such as War Blade and spears, several elven female slaves were also found lying in the tree hollows of the three nearby tribes' chieftains.

The headhunters have a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and these elven slave girls have served several chieftains, holding a rather delicate position within the local headhunter tribe.

Without these connections, he wouldn't have been able to build such exquisite castles and palaces.

When Lord Alvis fell from power, the Mine Owner Abel didn't think it would have much of an impact on him, because his network of relationships with the Silvermoon Elven Nobles hadn't been completely severed.

However, the Silver Pegasus Legion stationed in the Pattington Plane showed no intention of contacting him. After some inquiries, he learned that the Swynborne Legion Commander was one of the Silver Moon Elf King's most steadfast followers and had given speeches in public on more than one occasion, expressing his determination to severely crack down on the slave trade on the Elf Continent.

Therefore, the Mine Owner Abel never intended to get involved with the Earl Swynborne...

He thought it would be best to hide on the Pagisto Plateau. If he couldn't hide, it wouldn't matter if he was escorted back to Buenos City by the Silver Pegasus Legion. He could then use the connections he had built up to help him out.

Unexpectedly, the Silver Pegasus Legion arrived and left in a hurry, and the officers showed exceptional politeness to him, a descendant of the Silvermoon Elven Nobles...

Thinking about it, I am, after all, a Silver Moon Elf. Even if I am sent to the Inquisition, I should be able to receive some preferential treatment.

This is why the Mine Owner Abel was hesitant between returning to Padesto City and fleeing to the Pattington Plane.

He sat silently on the sofa for a long time before he came to his senses and found his lover Olysses, sitting beside him in a panic.

"Olysses, what do you think about us going back to Padesto City? But then we'll inevitably have to go to the courthouse and face those old guys' trial..." the Mine Owner Abel said, frowning his delicate eyebrows.

When Olysses heard Abel's words, his legs went weak with fear. He had committed a crime in the Padesto City and was exiled to the Pagisto Plateau.

"Abel, are we going back to Padesto City?" Olysses asked in a panic.

The Mine Owner Abel nodded and said, "Yes, this Roy Mine Owners plans to send us back to Padesto City tomorrow morning."

Olysses' arms trembled violently with fear as she shouted, "How could they do this? Don't they know you are a Silvermoon Elven Nobles?"

The Mine Owner Abel, shook his head and said with a cold face, "It's no use. When it comes to buying and selling Elf Slaves, the laws of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom leave absolutely no room for negotiation."

Olysses asked even more frantically, "So... will you be sentenced?"

The Mine Owner Abel, gave Olysses a deep look, unable to understand why he was so flustered.

"If we're lucky, we might get a shorter sentence..." said the Mine Owner Abel.

"Can we not go back?" Olysses, his face contorted with grief, tears streaming down his handsome face...

"So... where can we go?" the Mine Owner Abel, asked Olysses quietly.

"I'm fine with going anywhere, even if it's like being exiled to the Pattington Plane. It's better than being stuck in a dark and hopeless island prison." In her panic, Olysses blurted out her true feelings.

Mine Owner Abel, suddenly stood up from the sofa and said loudly, "No, I don't want to wander in the Pattington Plane. We still want to go to Padesto City, but we shouldn't be escorted back. Instead, we should return to Padesto City as Silver Moon Elf who have been wandering for many years. If we can buy Teleportation Pass on the Black Market, we may still have a chance to return to the Elf Continent."

Seeing that even though she was terrified, she hadn't considered betraying Olysses, the Mine Owner Abel, smiled slightly and whispered in Olysses's ear:

"We can leave the Mithril Mine tonight, take everything we can, find a secret place to hide in the Wochak Mountains, and once we've calmed down, we can take a detour to Padesto City."

The huge weight that had been hanging over Olysses's heart instantly lifted, and he felt his strength return to his body. He stood up with the Mine Owner Abel Mine Owner Abel, and asked him, "Can we escape? After all, they have Griffon Cavalry."

"When I was building this castle, I actually had this in mind. After all, this is my territory, and it would be easy for me to leave," said the Mine Owner Abel with great confidence.

"How long are we going to hide in the mountains?" Olysses asked with some concern. He didn't want to hide in the mountains forever.

"We'll leave once their army is gone!" the Mine Owner Abel, said with unwavering determination.

Roy knew that his words that afternoon would force the Mine Owner Abel to make a decision.

If he had enough guts to steel himself and follow the Half-Elf Warrior to Padesto City, Roy really wouldn't have any way to punish him...

In fact, Roy hoped that the Mine Owner Abel would take a risk and choose another path.

It must be said that the castle built on this Mithril Mine is indeed magnificent, perfectly matching the aesthetics of the Silver Moon Elf. It is clear that the Mine Owner Abel must have put a lot of effort into it.

The Mithril Mine was also well managed by the Mine Owner Abel.

If it weren't for the fact that the elven miners were all emaciated and the dead elven miners filled a cemetery full of Iron Caltrop, Roy would have thought that the Mine Owner Abel was actually a talented manager.

After glancing at the magnificent castle that had been built by the blood of countless elven miners, Roy had already sentenced the Mine Owner Abel to death in his heart.

He had no intention of safely escorting the Mine Owner Abel back to Padesto City. If the Mine Owner Abel were to take the initiative and quietly escape from the Mithril Mine himself, things would be much easier...

Roy was waiting in his room for news from Vice Captain Tennyson when, unexpectedly, an elf came to inform on him.

"Bring her to me!" Roy ordered Vitas, who was standing at the door.

Not long after, Vitas pushed the door open again, and a Darkmoon female elf dressed as a maid stood nervously in the doorway. Roy glanced at the Darkmoon female elf; her skin had a very special dark blue-gray hue, and her complexion was darker than any of the Dark Moon Elf he had ever seen. Dark skin was considered a noble bloodline among the Dark Moon Elf, supposedly related to their bloodline heritage.

Among elven women, those with plain looks and light freckles like Mulin are truly rare. Most elven women are born extremely beautiful. The history books of the Elven Dynasty record that the angels created the elves and endowed them with the perfect appearance of angels. Elves are born with an affinity for magic.

The Darkmoon Elf was very beautiful. She stood at the door, observing Roy without saying a word.

"I'm Roy. What's your name? What do you need me for?" Roy rested his left arm on the desk, gesturing for her to come closer to talk.

The Darkmoon Elf was a little nervous. She took only two steps forward before stopping. She said to Roy, "My name is Adiya. I have come to see you to report the Mine Owner Abel. He is planning to escape from the Mithril Mine with his lover, Olysses. When the Mine Owner Abel built this castle, he left a Secret Passage. The entrance to the Secret Passage is in his bedroom."

Roy tapped his finger on the table and asked, "I'm curious, how did you know about this?"

"I overheard them saying that they thought all the elven servants had left their courtyards, but I hadn't. While they were discussing it in the hall, I was hiding behind a flowerpot in the corner..."

After Adiya finished speaking, perhaps worried that Roy wouldn't believe her, she stood in the corner of the room and her body gradually faded away in front of Roy until she finally merged into the air.

Roy nodded. "Can you tell me what you need?"

"My sister was given away as a gift to a headhunter chieftain by the Mine Owner Abel, and I want to rescue her," Adiya said, somewhat agitated.

She hadn't expected the young Mine Owners to so readily offer her a reward for delivering the message.

Roy frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Although I can't make any guarantees on this matter, I can assure you that my Mine Guard will definitely storm into the Gazan Ancestral Land. If you can pass the test, you can join my Assassin Squad. Of course, if you want to leave, I can provide you with weapons and armor, and you can also take some items you need with you."

"I am not yet capable of venturing alone in the Northern Plateau. I would like to join your Assassin Squad." Adiya crossed her arms and placed her hands on her shoulders, bowing to Roy.

Roy didn't say much, just glanced at the corner of the wall on the left and casually remarked:

"Moira, take her to see Captain Timothy."

"Oh!" The air in the corner distorted slightly, and Moira's figure appeared.

Then, with her clear, big eyes wide open, she asked Roy with a look of curiosity, "Roy, how did you find me?"

Roy raised a finger, and a divine halo appeared at the tip of his finger. The light spread throughout the room, instantly dispelling all shadows.

Moira didn't wait for Roy to say anything more, and quickly grabbed Adiya's hand, whispering, "Come with me, actually there are a lot of Dark Moon Elf in our Mine Guard team..."

After saying that, the two quickly walked out of Roy's room.

Not long after, Vice Captain Tennyson also rushed over to see Roy. The two talked in the room before Vice Captain Tennyson hurriedly left.

As darkness fell completely, the Mine Owner Abel, sat up on his large bed in his bedroom. He took off his exquisite Magic Pattern Cloth and put on the leather armor hanging on the wooden rack, one piece at a time. He could count the number of times he had worn this 'Elegant Wind' Magic Inscription Construct on one hand.

As a descendant of a Silvermoon Elven Nobles, his archery skills were only considered passable.

He took the ' Light Feather Bow ' off the wall and carried it on his back. He then took two magic daggers from the dagger rack on the table and inserted them into the outside of his trousers.

The Mine Owners, who had previously exuded an aristocratic air, suddenly transformed into a Silver Moon Elf Archer...

His lover, Olysses, changed into a set of heavy armor beside him, carrying two Storm Greatsword on his back. He was a level 17 Sword Dancer had undergone a first job advancement.

The Mine Owner Abel, pulled out a treasure chest from under the bed, took out two Magic Pouch, and handed them to Olysses to tie around his waist. He then tied two pouches on himself before moving the treasure chest aside.

As the Mine Owner Abel turned the winch in an inconspicuous spot beside the bed, a tunnel suddenly split open in the middle of the large bed, revealing darkness underneath.

Olysses reached for a trident-shaped candlestick from the table, but was stopped by the Mine Owner Abel.

Neither of them spoke a word. The Mine Owner Abel, pulled a dagger from his left leg and held it above his head.

The blade of the dagger resembled a burning flame, radiating a dark red Light Flame in all directions, yet it had no heat whatsoever.

The Mine Owner Abel was the first to step into the dusty passageway...
