Chapter 247 - An Child

"What did you just say? The fight between prisoners broke out, and more than thirty prison knights died " Evelyn was taken aback as she heard kana. She got up from her Place in shock because those prison knights are more than enough to kill a small army, they are those being who she captured in the various dungeon raids, those beings are called rift demons, and all of them took the oath to serve Evelyn.

Aana and kana understand this is a severe matter as nothing like that has happened before.

"Yes, my lady, we don't know how this happened, but fights are common between those prisoners, but this time more than thirty prison knights got killed, and more than twenty prisoners died, "aana explained as she looked at Evelyn; she seemed somewhat hesitant as things were not making sense for her, but somehow she brings her to explain about this event.

Hearing aana's words, Evelyn took a deep sigh, her facial expressions became dark as she knew this was a serious matter, that place is full of those monsters; most of them are high-level cultivators who are imprisoned inside that place , even single of those prisoners can bring disaster around their surroundings, and they cant be released no matter what, this is a grave matter for her, because few of those prisoners are imprisoned inside that place more than hundreds of years, this place is fell in Evelyn's hand in a few years ago when one of the warlords died in war who used to govern the the northern region, and after that, warlord she assigned a newly warlord inside this north region, Evelyn gather her thoughts as she looked the duo.

"Did anyone Disappear from prison? Do you guys notice something odd or unusual around the portal," Evelyn asked as she looked at aana and kana with a serious expression on her face, her priority was to ensure that none of those prisoners were able to escape from that place.

Aana and kana exchange glances as they hear lady Evelyn, "no my lady that is i

Hearing kana's words even clenched her fist" something is off, how can they able to access their cultivation base? Inside that place, I am worried about those prisoners who are prisoned inside, and we don't have their records. I need to go there and check with my own eyes,'' Evelyn said as she looked at aana and kana.

Hearing those words, aana and kana exchange glances," my lady, we are also going with you, we can't let you go alone inside that place, what if your intuition were true,what if those prisoners were somehow able to regain their cultivation base? Please let us come with you '' Kana looked at Evelyn as she said.

"Dont worry about me I will handle those prisoners on my own, both of you stay here and look over the portal in case of any emergency, keep an eye on the surrounding city, don't hesitate to kill if anyone tries to leave the exit, I need to go inside that prison and check everything on my own, my intuition telling me something big is brewing inside that place, and we can't let that happen, "Evelyn said, and next moment she disappeared from anna and kana'a sight.

Meanwhile, Yohan is standing at the village entrance, but to his surprise, not a single life form could be seen around that place. Yohan made his way inside the village and tried to get help, but no one opened their door as the whole village went on lockdown.

"What the hell, why they are not answering to me, are they scared of me, probably they heard those lightning strikes, I don't blame them,"yohan said as he approached a house which is made of woods and covered by grass,yohan knocked on the door and asked for help, but like every single time he didn't get an answer from another side, his body at his limit and he needs water to drink.

"I need water, please open the door, I don't mean any harm,"yohan whispered in a low voice, and the next moment His head started spinning, and he fell to the ground in front of the door of that house.

Sometimes later, that house door opened slightly and a child not more than eight years old looked towards the yohan inside from that house, she was wearing tattered cloth and her body was covered by dirt.

She is afraid to come out, but after sometime later, she gathered some courage and approached Yohan, his upper body was naked, and he was barely awake but still, he was muttering something.

That child slowly approached Yohan and bent her upper body to hear Yohan's murmuring. She was scared and afraid, but still, she was curious about this man, she closed her ears to his lips as she wanted to hear him.

Yohan slowly opened her eyes, but the scene was blurry, but he could see a figure who was looking at him, his vision was still blurry, but somehow, it resembled a child.

"Water, give me some water,'' Yohan whispered in a low voice, that child looked at him curiously, and sometime later, she went inside that crappy-looking house, and a few moments later, she brought water in a clay pot.

She hesitantly sat beside yohan's body and gently opened yohan's mouth, and started pouring water little by little.

Yohan started indulging that water from that clay pot subconsciously, he was thirsty in A few moments, he drank all of the water inside that clay pot.

That girl's face became red seeing yohan like that, she looked inside the pot. It was empty, she got up and again runaway inside the house and brought more water for yohan And started helping him to drink, after sometimes later yohan opened his eyes and saw a cute face of a Little girl who was looking at him with a curious gaze, that girl has red eyes which are flickering with curiousness, seeing yohan awake that little girl ran inside the house and closed the door from inside.

Yohan's gaze went around his surroundings, and he saw a clay pot and spilled water around the ground, and he touched his lips.. They were wet, and Yohan was not feeling thirsty any more; a smile appeared on his face as he understood what had just happened.
