Chapter 356: The daring intruder
The group settled inside the camp, divided by their status.
Hex and Elize were each given a spacious room with a private bathroom and balcony. The captives were thrown in one room with a single point of entry and exit, with no windows. Their bathroom and kitchen were in different areas, each guarded heavily.
The only exceptions were the two leaders of this circle. They were both placed in the cellars below Elize’s room. Their bathroom and food arrangements weren’t disclosed to Hex.
’Well, a shame I can’t have a proper chat with mother thanks to such an arrangement,’ Hex thought as he laid lazily in his bed, having taken a nice, long shower. The past couple of days, weeks even, had been chaotic.
Ever since his escape from Edune, he had been in the middle of one thing or another. And he was still in the middle of it. This camp was the last one before they reached the border between the inner territory and the core.
It was unknown how long they would remain here. According to a brief explanation the group received from Jonathan, an elder was on his way to deliver the council’s judgement to the group. Apparently, members of rebellious groups weren’t granted a chance to defend themselves. Their judgement was based on a case by case basis, and some sort of checklist. The more boxes ticked off against a person, the heavier the punishment.
Knock. Knock.
’What now?’
Hex scowled. He rather spent this brief moment of peace and calm studying the Knight Path. He hadn’t ascended the Stages yet but with his recent progress of completing multiple elemental circles, he wished to see which Techniques he could add to his arsenal.
