Chapter 642: Captured by the Cult Members

After the first night of the show, I got invited by Yuria again as usual in the afternoon before the next and last show in Rygis tonight.

When I got there, Patricia was in the office as well.

“I am also interested in listening to you about the outside world. I haven’t heard of everything yet last night,” Patricia said.

“Okay. Not that I mind. I’m just the guest here. You’re free to do whatever you want,” I said.

Today, I’m alone. Shirley is not with me. She’s with the other circus members preparing for something that the cult members here might do. Because we expect that they would attack us anytime soon.

We have expert level mage who can defeat a master level mage. If the cult wants to gain more followers, it’s easy for them to show their worth by showing that they could defeat Angela. Though that means Patricia and Emilia won’t be safe as well. But that’s difficult.

I also looked at where the nodding guy is. He’s serving a woman with a happy smile on his face. I thought he was happy doing it. But now that I know he’s most likely related to the cult, I feel hatred.

.....

Now, the question is how the cult will try to get Emilia and Patricia when they are not strong enough to do that. They must have a plan, right? Maybe there’s a magic item that will help even the weakest mage to defeat master level mage.

Now that we know what they’re possibly planning, with the help of Yuria, we can think of a plan to prevent anything bad to happen.

And Yuria even suggested to do this plan to that woman in black. Yuria has told me her name before, but I keep forgetting about it. Though it’s not important since she will die sooner or later.

And the plan today is to capture this woman in black and bring her to Albert for questioning.

While the four of us are here, Yuria planned to take me and Patricia as hostages. That woman in black has told Yuria that she will use something that can restrain even someone as strong as master level mages. Probably something like the Magic Restraining Collar. But it’s the upgraded version of that.

I can see her holding some kind of bracelet in her hand which she hides behind her back under her robe. She’s no longer hiding. And she’s walking around pretending to be busy when she’s actually trying to position herself right behind us.

And other than her, the guide who has been guiding me since I first arrive to Yuria’s office is also prepared to do something outside of the office. Along with a dozen other people. Including a man who is crossdressing as a woman.

Last night after the show is over, when it’s time for Yuria to sleep and the woman in black let down her guard, she contacted Sonia to deliver a message to me

In the message, it was written that Yuria managed to convince the woman in black to try and capture us as hostages. As for Emilia, Patricia said that she will be with Angela for a spar again, so they can just take care of her later.

And so, here we are. In Yuria’s office, pretending to be oblivious to what will happen to us.

Obviously, if we’re doing well in this situation, we can finish it before our next show tonight. And that’s what I’m planning.

While we’re chatting about the outside world, which is mostly about our show in different cities, it’s finally the time for them to move.

Both Patricia and I didn’t take a seat at all on purpose while I am exaggerating about my story. We are standing with Patricia facing my direction on my right. And the woman in black is behind us. Though now that I used Divine Vision again on her, I can see that she’s not holding bracelets. They are handcuffs.

And after I put down my arm after my exaggerated gesture when I told my story, the woman in black quickly put the handcuff on Patricia’s hand. And Patricia who pretends to not expect that let down her guard and got her other hand cuffed as well.

I pretend to be shocked and the woman in black ended up putting the handcuff on me as well. Our hands are now behind us being restrained and there’s nothing we can do. Of course that’s what she expect from us.

“What are you doing!?”

As expected of a grandma. She has lived longer than most people and her acting skill is great.

Soon after she shouted, the door entered. The guide, the crossdressing man, and a dozen other people whom I assumed to be cult members entered the office room.

“Restrain those two!” Yuria shouted her command.

“Tsk! You think I can’t do anything if you cuffed my hands!” Patricia tried to resist.

Though she tried to break off the handcuff with her own strength. But she failed. She also tried to use magic. But she failed as well.

And someone tried to get close to her. Stupidly trying to restrain Patricia only with her physical strength.

“Are you stupid! You dare to test physical strength with me!?”

Patricia then kicked her short leg toward the approaching enemy. The one who got kicked fell down, but she’s still conscious.

I guess that’s just how strong an untrained master level mage is. Her physical strength wasn’t much as she couldn’t even break off the handcuff with her strength and she can’t knock someone out with a kick.

As for me, just by putting a little bit of Aura and I can see crack on the handcuff that is restraining me. Though I won’t remove the handcuff yet. I’ll pretend that I’m a weak person. Just a normal guy who temporarily lead the circus troupe.

“Excuse me, but what are you doing?” I asked.

“You can pretend to be calm in this situation? You are much better than I thought. But I’ll tell you this. No one in your circus troupe can help you. It’s a shame that Shirley didn’t come with you. But at least we have you,” Yuria said. She’s acting as the master mind of this event.

As for Patricia, an expert level ice mage finally took action and used ice magic to restrain her from moving.

“YURIA! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelFɪre.net

...Is Patricia still acting or not? I don’t know. Maybe the fact that she can’t use her magic is too much for her.

“She’s too noisy. Gag their mouth and bring them to the basement. Make sure that no one sees you,” Yuria said.

Basement? That’s where they have prison. Why is there a prison in this place? This isn’t even a palace or a castle. Is it someone’s hobby?

“Tonight, go and get everyone and attack the circus. But make sure that there won’t be any civilians who got caught up in it. I don’t care what you do to the circus. Destroy them or try and get them to join you, I don’t care whichever it is. But no civilian casualty. I am only cooperating with you for the sake of this country,” Yuria said.

“I know, I know. But you don’t need to care much about it.”

After the woman in black said that, the others tried to knock Patricia out to no avail. As for me, once someone hit me on the back of my head, I just pretend to be unconscious. Now is the time to see everyone related to the cult.

But I didn’t expect what the woman in black is going to say next. Something that give Patricia a sense of despair.

“Yuria, you are too slow. You are doing good, but too slow in getting the two master level mages to join us. That’s why we already made our action without you knowing. Since a few months ago, Emilia has been with us. She’s already a member of the cult. It’s fine if she can’t defeat that mage from the outside. As long as she can delay her as much as possible, the rest can easily destroy the circus. I don’t think there are others who are as strong as Angela,” the woman in black said.

Yuria was shocked to hear that. But she acted normally.

“Really? Then you just need to convince Patricia, right? It’s good that we can get we want,” Yuria said.

“YOU! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER!?” Patricia shouted. Since she’s still conscious, she can hear what they’re saying.

“Shut up! You’re either going to join us or rot in jail after all. Yuria, it has been good cooperating with you. But now, we don’t need you anymore. Take her to the basement as well!”

Without batting an eye, the woman in black betrayed Yuria. Yuria was quickly had her mouth gagged and brought to the jail in the basement with us. And they even knock her out when she has been restrained.

Along the way there, I can feel the wind blowing. There must be a wind mage here using wind magic to block the sound. That’s why I didn’t see anyone reacting from the beginning.

Hmm... seems like we need a change in our plan. It’s already impossible to not involve the civilians if Yuria can’t manage that woman in black who seems to be the one in charge of the cult members here.

Well, for now I will experience a few minutes of being imprisoned. So far, there’s nothing that will really cause us trouble other than the fact that Emilia has been with them for a while already. I’ll let Patricia take care of her granddaughter later.

For now, the woman in black should be gathering all the cult members living in Rygis to fight the circus. I’ll see where they are gathering and try to memorize their faces. Good thing I’m better in remembering faces than names.

Though it seems that we won’t be able to perform tonight. But that just mean we can stay here a few days longer than planned and arrange new shows later.
