Shaking his head in resignation, Ash cast a final glance at the cell door before walking away. He never considered himself a hero, especially not when he couldn't defeat a single bandit after fighting with him many times. However, if he managed to escape alive, he wouldn't mind reporting the matter to Mayor Hans. If the old man took action, everyone would be happy. If not, then she could only blame herself for being too weak.
Soon, Ash passed all prison cells and found two more cells that emanated the sound from within mirroring that of the previous one, before reaching a large oak door, weathered and visibly struggling against the passage of time.
"This cave and all those cells didn't appear to be the handiwork of bandits. Judging by the strange symbols adorning the oak door, it seemed more like someone else's abandoned ruin that the bandits had subsequently occupied," Ash made the judgment thoughtfully.
