Chapter 16 - scavenger

"That mountain is the place where HYDRA lives. An S-rank monster. Because it is such a dangerous existence no other monster comes near the mountain. And just like the mountain no monster comes near our village as well. But you see HYDRA needs to eat as well just like us. So occasionally it will leave its nest in search for food. Many times it attacked our village. So we decided that we will send travelers like you to its nest as sacrifices. As long as the HYDRA is not hungry it will not leave its nest, that's why we send travelers to its nest. Well rather than sacrifices calling you HYDRA's meal is much better."

It didn't take someone to be an idiot to guess that Nicolai struck a deal with the elder where he will offer us as sacrifices to the village in return for using the communication crystal and calling for help.

But the elder outplayed him by making him as a sacrifice as well.

'Great.'

Before other can even understand what is going on the elder waved his hand and suddenly a big burly man made an entrance. Seeing how tough and muscular he looked, its safe to assume that he is a lumber-jack or a hunter.

As the elder was talking very quietly with the giant man, I decided to look around.

What? Why am I not freaking out or why am I not panicking?

Dude when you are suddenly thrown to another world where you are powerless and don't even know what going on, I think only an idiot would freak out. After all I am too tired to show any visible emotions.

As they ended their conversation, that big and burly man came to us and picked all of us and decided to load us in a horse-drawn carriage. Before I could understand, I started to feel like a baggage.

And thus of we go to another journey fellas.

.............................................….

All of us were in the carriage. As the carriage was moving I noticed that some of the captives were still unconscious –

'They must have added sedatives to our food.'

As I looked around I noticed that other than me only Nicolai was conscious. While the others were resting or trying to stay awake.

As I looked around I noticed the big burly man was driving the carriage. Unfortunately there is only one problem that he was not very far away from me so if I tried to do anything funny he would catch me.

.............................................….

"Hey , hey psst listen."

Just as I was looking around Nicolai tried to grab my attention.

"Do something."

"Huh"

'Is this guy an idiot what does he wants me to do in such a situation?'

"What do you want me to do?"

"You, you moron you are the second son of the Hemigton duchy use your bloodline ability."

"What are you saying?"

"YOU, don't tell me you forgot who you are."

"Unfortunately, you are right after becoming a prisoner I hit my head and now I have amnesia."

"You, how dare you lie and make fun of a proud knight."

"Yeah yeah so what do you want me to do?"

"Use your bloodline ability. And help me so that I can escape from this nightmare."

"Sorry but I don't remember what I bloodline ability is. And if knew about it in the first place, I would have used it long ago to escape from this shit."

"Listen, you remember what your name is? It is Damien Hemington, second son of duke Hemington of Cetron Kingdom. One of the most powerful noble household. Your bloodline ability is Telekinesis. Use it."

"As if I will believe you. What makes you think that a noble like me is going to be taken as a prisoner?"

"That's because you were convicted of trying to murder your own elder brother, the future Duke."

"Haah, and why would I believe you."

"Please believe me. You were punished by the imperial court for trying to kill you own brother, the future duke. And you are a noble. Someone who has bloodline ability. Your ability is telekinesis."

"Please believe me."

. . . . . . . . .

"Huuh, I give up"

"Huuh."

"I was wondering what you had to say. I thought that I might need the truth serum from the cloth bag to extract information from you. But you opened your mouth on your own. I didn't even need to waste the truth serum on you. It's a good thing."

"What do you mean?"

Before he could ask any question I dislocated my shoulders and my hand that were tied behind my back, I simply brought them in front of me. Soon I relocated my shoulders. Now this time I dislocated my thumb and easily untied the rope that were tying my hands. After relocating mu thumb I untied the ropes that were tying mine legs.

"What the fuck are you?"

Just as I untied the ropes I decided to look up supplies in the carriage and started to check everyone's body.

"Hey what are you doing. Tell me what you are doi…"

I felt that his shouting can attract the attention of the carriage driver so I took out the tranquilizer that I hid in my body and injected him. Before he could comprehend what is happening, he fainted.

'These villagers really are idiots.'

Even though they tied us they didn't bother to check our bodies to see if we hid something or not.

'Guess it looks like they just wanted to get rid of us as soon as possible.'

Looking at Nicolai I smiled and took his sword and knife and jumped of the carriage.

"You were wondering what I am right. You see I am a scavenger."

Smiling I decided to turn around and decided to continue my journey.
