Chapter 296: The Commotion After Their Return
After finishing his conversation with Carol, Aldrian returned to the crowd still waiting for him. Sylphia stood nearby, watching them. When she saw Aldrian coming back with Carol, she smiled at them and turned to Aldrian.
"How did it go?" she asked.
"Good," Aldrian replied. "I have to say, I hit another jackpot. Her past is also connected to the devils, so I decided to help her. I’ll explain everything once we’re back at the inn."
Sylphia nodded as Aldrian glanced at the crowd around them.
"Alright, I will now send you to Flamecrest City. Remember what I told you—spread the word that the Flamecrest family is the one who saved you," Aldrian said to them.
The expressions of the people brightened, but the man from earlier hesitantly asked Aldrian, his confusion evident.
"Savior, how can you send us back when there’s no transportation here?" It was the same question many others had, as they saw no artifacts, formations, or carriages nearby.
Aldrian simply smiled at them and glanced at Carol Duclane, who was also looking at him with curiosity, wondering how he would send them back. However, she suddenly felt disoriented as the scenery around them shifted abruptly. She blinked, unable to even process the shock before finding herself surrounded by the sights of the city.
She looked around, taking in her surroundings as she stood in the vast plaza. Though it had been a long time, she still recognized this place—the city plaza of Flamecrest City.
As the reality of the situation settled in, finally her eyes widened in shock. Did that young man just move them from Boraz to this place? She realized he must have used some kind of space-based technique to accomplish it, but how? To achieve such a feat would require an enormous amount of energy and a level of comprehension that even those at the Emperor stage would struggle to attain.
The reactions of the crowd, whether from the former captives or the nearby onlookers, were the same—they were stunned. The captives were shocked because of their sudden arrival in this place, while the onlookers were equally taken aback by the simultaneous appearance of so many people.
