Antgram Paladins

above the barbarity

Walking without direction corridor while looking at the wall beside her which was filled by paintings displayed inside the frame.

(Sial ... how wide is this mansion? After all, the map given by the senior was completely inaccurate)

Da vinci sighed tiredly and continued walking.

The map obtained by Theo is a map of the intruder Theo sent to the headquarters of the party juugo, a prostitute who before her encounter Theo seemed to give false information.

Or in short, he told Theo, he thought the woman would not betray but it exceeded his expectations.

Da vinci turns into the corridor right on his left and finds a woman in front of him, a stranger woman, a traitorous prostitute.

"!!?"

Da vinci put up a defensive position when he saw the woman standing up gracefully, wearing some cloth and seeing that she was not wearing anything in it.

"You must be Mr. Theo's partner, right?"

"???" (He knows about the senior?) "Who are you?)

Da vinci kept asking, for now he did not intend to trust anyone, until he was absolutely sure if this woman was not the enemy.

Responding to Da vinci's question, the woman lowered her head slowly.

"Please forgive my disrespect, I am a spy sent by Mr. Theo to infiltrate the headquarters of the Juugo party"

"Sooking?"

"Yes .. we should have met before even once"

"Huh?" (Wait, in retrospect, I feel like I've met this woman)

The woman continued to smile kindly without planning to stop it, Da vinci narrowed her eyes and forced her brain to remember this woman.

"Ah! .. Are you the waiter at the diner?"

Da vinci pointed her index finger at the woman, and the woman snorted pleasantly and patted her hand twice.

"Fright"

"But aren't you a food worker, how did you get into Juugo's headquarters, were you our partner before him?"

"No, it was the first time I met you, and then as the sun began to sink, Mr. Theo approached me and offered me a job"

"O-oh, so I did" (it's just fine I didn't find it that long)

The woman turned her body slightly and pointed her hand towards the end of the corridor.

"I know you still have a lot to question, but time is gone, so I'll take you to where the hostages are being held"

In response to that, Da vinci fell silent and smiled kindly in the end.

"Alright, that's very helpful"

On the other hand, in Alice's current position, standing before a sizable iron door, there were no guards guarding this.

(So there's an explosion, what's going on out there?)

Alice put on a sour expression while looking around her, this was more like a basement where this room was made of solid brick.

Alice knocked on the iron door a few times, there was some weakness inside, no response, Alice smiled wryly and began to turn her back.

(I'd better get out of here, it scares me a little)

"Please----

There was a woman's voice, a very small voice in the room behind the iron door, Alice responded with goosebumps because for a moment she thought whether it was a ghost or what.

(Can I take this as a mishearing?)

"Please!-------

There was another sound, this time the sound of children, Alice's face turned pale and touched the iron door.

(I hope it's not a ghost, god, I'm counting on you)

Reluctantly, Alice created a magic circle and instantly made the iron door freeze even the wall connected to the iron door was frozen.

Next, Alice turned her hand aside and created a magic screen, while a stone was created where it was quite large and Alice shot the stone into the frozen iron door.

Destroying the iron door at once until it feels strange considering it is iron, but it is a physical reaction, an object will become very fragile when it undergoes freezing.

And Alice used powerful ice magic until it could freeze something just touching her.

It would be dangerous if Alice used fire magic in this narrow room so she changed her ways to open this iron door.

Stepping through the door and into the room, fortunately there was a wooden torch placed on the wall so he did not have to fear the darkness anymore.

Walking nervously until Alice finally passed an iron cell, watching into the cell, her hair goosebumps and widens her eyes.

Inside the room is a human hoist, not just one, but the whole steps are stacked into a hill until it will be difficult to calculate it.

"Please! Anyone-whoever---

A mature female voice rang out, and Alice responded to that in shock, she understood if this was not a ghost matter anymore so that was why, she kicked the ground and ran towards the direction the voice sounded.

Passed through several prisons, and in the end Alice stopped when the sound was heard, widening her eyes where what she saw were children.

Young children and adult women, this consists of 12 of them, their faces look lethargic and dry indicating that they have not eaten for several days.

In a panic, Alice created the same magic circle and charged all the iron cells that were blocking this prison, as they froze, they had a reaction where they slightly bent over it.

Alice ran towards the marella and found the little child lying languidly on this cold floor, crouching down to reach the little boy where Alice immediately held the little boy's forehead.

No reply, Alice pointed her hand aside and a magic screen was created before her, some magic circles moved by themselves and the magic screen split into pieces and stuck to her hand.

He pointed his hand at the little boy and a blue light came out, making the little boy sleepy and eventually fall asleep, her body returned bright but that did not change the fact that she was very hungry at the moment.

"Where are you from? Why are you here?"

All stared hesitantly as one adult woman ventured and began to face Alice.

"U-umm, we all came from a village called tooei, but, 4 days ago, some people came attacking and killing everyone in the village, la-then, me and some kids were brought here"

(Tooei village?! It was supposed to be near the prostitution district, and until a few days ago the village was still fine ... why didn't any information appear regarding the village being attacked? !!!? Damnit damnit! So once, they shut down all the information in the prostitution district, I forget that it is also enemy territory)

Surely Pho has arranged for his subordinates to organize all the information that will come, discard important information and let in information that is not too important.

As the leader of the district they should have the power to do so.

Alice looked at the children in her left and right, they were still children and experienced this, making Alice angry but she could not vent that anger.

Alice took a breath and breathed her breath to regulate her current emotions, starting to stand up dexterously and smiling widely throughout the child.

"Just calm!!~ big brother is a kind player, so big brother will save you all, be happy"

Said excitedly, the mature woman and the children stared at each other, they were still worried at this moment.

Then a little girl grabbed Alice by the leg, realizing that, Alice crouched back to equalize her gaze to the girl.

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Can we go back to our village again?"

The girl asked dejectedly, and Alice was silent about it, sighing her and she smiled wryly.

"Sorry, it can't, but!! You can go to a new village again~ you can make new friends, sleep as much as possible and eat as much as possible, just relax, brother knows the village is warm like that"

Alice stroked the little girl's head, but there were still many doubts in their hearts, so the mature woman, realizing what to do.

"Children, let's follow this brother, take it easy, brother will also come with you"

The children responded and some little girls hugged the legs of the adult woman and cried, the mature woman smiled gently and stroked the little girls.

Alice replied to the woman with an ox smile and they exchanged smiles at this moment, the children had already started to improve even though they were still starving, but they had to get out of this base first.

"So it was very helpful, what's your name?"

"Ti-no, that should be my word, thank you for helping us, u-umm, my name is noelle, please help her after this"

The mature woman lowered her head, perhaps calling him an adult is less appropriate because she is still 18 at this time.

"My name is Alice stater, me----

- BOOMM!!!---!

The sound of a huge explosion was heard making the underground vibrate, the children were frightened where they immediately embraced the legs of Alice and noelle.

(What really happened?)

###

[About 10 minutes ago]

Blood dripping, a knife punctured right in his stomach, Da vinci exhaled because he still did not understand the siatuasi at this time.

The woman stabbed right into the belly of Da vinci, the prostitute woman.

While Da vinci just fell silent, did not understand what happened, the situation was confusing, the woman who said if she was a colleague instead turned to stab Da vinci.

"!!!! Garrggck"

Da vinci screamed hysterically in pain, hit the woman in the face and Da vinci fell down where she sat on the floor.

(What's going on? Why did he attack me? It hurts!!)

The woman touched the cheek that Da vinci had hit just now, a footsteps rang out, whereupon she continued walking towards Da vinci and the woman.

"You did it festively too"

Said the man, staring at the man, Da vinci instantly recognized him, a man he faced before this and ended up losing.

The wall he had to cross to reach the strongest position, he was the leader of the juugo party, Pho.

"Tu-tuan Pho, as promised, I've been carrying out your orders, so please meet me back with my sister"

The woman walked up and prostrated herself before Pho, revealing a look of despair and Pho just stared at her with a cold look after which she smiled and opened her mouth.

"Yes, I'll soon find you with your sister"

Said her in a soft tone, hearing that, the woman let out tears and smiled happily.

Next, she is kicked by Pho, right in her face, pushed away and Da vinci responds in shock.

"Sir, Pho, this is not what you promised!!!"

"Well, accusing that guy isn't good you know? I always keep my word, I'm a man you know? So I'm going to meet you with your sister, of course"

"So why?!!"

Pho walked in and right in front of the woman, staring at her with a cold gaze or a gaze that saw something useless.

The woman smiled desperately with an unattainable hope, next her face was stepped on by Pho.

Pho creates a magic circle and fires a fireball at the woman, burning her charred and retreating to avoid being exposed to the fire.

"Your sister is now in the afterlife or whatever, don't take revenge on me"
