Chapter 177: Sneaking Inside a Criminal Organization Hideout

After registering in the Sect as an Allied Guest Sect, we were finally let free to do as we pleased for now.

It was getting late already so I decided to not go to the dungeon yet and rest for the rest of the day.

We walked back home and then rested inside of Fuyu. I was very excited about entering these new dungeons, so there was a lot to do in the near future.

However, as the night slowly descended upon us we prepared to go down once more.

After all, we have decided to take down some cliché criminals from the outskirts of the village, who were doing a lot of nasty shit we didn't like nor approve of... such as slavey, and even child slavery to add salt into the wound!

So the best course of action we could possibly take was the most obvious one, kill them and rob them, and save these people in the way!

Is there a better way to deal with these damn bastards? I don't think so! And what better way to do it than I the cover of the night? Hehe...

"Are we really doing it?" asked Benladann.

"Yeah, we are. Just the two of us is enough, let's not get anyone else involved," I said.

"Alright!"

With Benladann, we sneaked outside of Fuyu as we rushed towards the surface down below. I carried Benladann with my arms as we flew using my Wind Magic. I didn't have to really hold her like this, but I kind of like it.

"D-Do you have to carry me like this?" she asked cutely.

"Yes," I said.

As we reached the surface, Benladann jumped out of my arms as we slowly walked through the night of the village, most people had gone to sleep at these hours, so there wasn't a single soul around for now.

Nonetheless, we used our amazing abilities of stealth and we rushed towards the hideout of these criminals, which Benladann guided me through the memories she accumulated from these three Molded Guys.

We reached a large area a bit far away from the outskirts, which was protected by walls made of wood and whose gate was being guarded by some guys wielding weapons. Inside the territory, there was a large building made of wood, which looked about to fall into pieces, and inside there were several presences.

And now... now what do we do?!

"What do we?" asked Benladann.

"Hmm... Should we go upfront?" I wondered.

"No, that would be too flashy, we have to hide in the shadows le vigilantes!" said Benladann.

Vigilantes? What is this girl talking about?

Well, now that we are here we have to then about what to do.

I wondered if Benladann could as the molded guys to open a bac door for us to enter and she began to confirm it...

"Oh, it is possible!" said Benladann realizing that it was actually possible to ask for help from these guys. After all, they were like her zombies, right? So it was totally fine to ask them for help if we could!

We quickly moved behind the scenes of all things, as we were greeted by two very humble and gentle brainwashed mold zombies, the guys that had come to ask for rent to Gaston some time ago. Now they were all serviceable and nice to us, such a change! I bet they had a change of heart or something, such nice people...

"Our lady..."

"Lady...

"Master..."

The guys were completely zombified to the point where they looked depressing to see.

The guys opened a secret passage and we entered the facility right away.

The first thing we saw was a lot of merchandise, mana stones, weapons, armor, treasures, and even several pieces of monster bodies, their claws, legs, eyes, horns, and more...

It seems that they had stuff from dungeons and even dungeon monsters parts in here. I bet they won't give any skill because they were no longer fresh at all and were not overflowing with power but... still, it is a nice meal to have

However, the most valuable of merchandise here were... these slaves.

We found dozens after dozens of them, kept in terrible conditions and mostly all caged.

The thing that surprised me the most was that there wasn't just Ice Giants no... there were also people with little animal ears and even... people that had pale blue skin but were small.

"Beast-kin and Ice Elves!" said Benladann.

Indeed they were beast in and ice elves these species also live in these regions, beast actually seems to live in every single region and is fairly common, but also a common slave...

Anyways ice elves seem to be elven variants that adapted to cold temperatures there are said to be more living in Niflheim alongside ice Fairies or so is what I learned.

I don't know how many people are here, but it seems that there are more, way more than we had originally expected... This is indeed quite problematic, but nothing that will take me back down.

Not now, not at all.

I am also intrigued to learn more about this entire thing, especially about these other people, perhaps they know more about the world, especially those from other races...

We slowly snaked around, we decided to not save the people yet, as we used our Stealth Abilities to pass through them without them noticing...

The moment we came in front of a Bandit, we quickly sliced his head off while covering their mouth for their cries to not be heard. Benladann usually cracked their heads with her immense hand strength, while I used icicle spears to impale their heads like bullets, killing them instantly.

They were all Rank 1 trash, the strongest as at Middle Stage at most, so they were fairly easy to kill without much issue.

Of course, we didn't leave the corpses behind, as I saved them inside my Inventory to not leave anything that would awaken suspiciousness.

As we continued our stealthy brutality streak, we reached a heavily guarded door, five guards were there, all of them middle stage... and inside, there was someone at Rank 2.
