The Player's System

Living Clue

They looked around and confirmed that no one was spying them. The slave led them toward the mansion. He thought to tell all aspects of the mansion and how they would enter.

"I have been working in the mansion from two decades. All normal entrances are guarded with heavy security except one. However Runners cannot use that similar entrance. The entrance is used by the slaves, servants and other puny workers of the mansion. The security does not want to share any codes with them so they separated their entry point." Slave halted to take breath.

Team members were listening and also watching odd shaped buildings they passed. The buildings were silent. It was little cold though the fog was infrequent. They could understand that the natives must be sleeping in their warm beds.

The slave spoke again. "The said entrance and the security would immediate inform others if they happened to see Runners so I will lead you toward particularly deserted entrance. This entrance is only used by elders of the mansion. They cannot use the entrance reserved for the duke. That particular entrance has tens of guards. I hope you can tackle them. The purpose of walking through the entrance is to directly reach the personal living of the elder. Rest of the mansion would remain undisturbed till someone caught you openly which is impossible unless the security on patrol happened to reach there." The slave was quite learned.

Perhaps he wanted to share every bit of information so that Arena runner could help him.

Team head noted down every detail he was ready to make perfect plan for this task. No one knew about Ashmorn however they were familiar with the treasure kept in the Flame tower. In fact they were secretive to not let it spread to the natives.

Almost all stronger personals of the Empire were worried about the single aspect. They did not want that the true secrets spread among natives it would bring threat of rebellion. Presently they were holding back everything with the false excuses.

The king was quite sharp. For saving his cursed life he was willing to sacrifice everyone. His ruthless decisions might destroy everything that's why Arena Runners decided to appear once again and save the Empire.

Duke of Arena was hiding and trying to get his hands on the secrets of the king. He was oblivious about many truths. If he happened to know that the king was selfish and greedy he would have led his Arena Association against him.

But now it was too late. The association divided in two groups. Only single team was fighting until now. They were consistent and stubborn to defeat the king.

"I will wait outside. Later I will show some of the places where you could find someone to guide your toward the Flame tower. Actually Flame tower was open for everyone till last month but now all those who were familiar with it had been captured and prisoned. I am not sure if it will be smooth way toward them." Slave spoke hesitant.

The fog started appearing. Team members could feel the gust of cold. They were experiencing real weather effects. "I guess we need to use weapons to warm up our bones." Clark commented. Jake and Sashi were moving at the back and keeping eyes against sudden outbreak. Huge walls and the statues started appearing. This was the beginning of the mansion and its neighboring territory. The security was present in the inner sides. Normally they only needed security at the entrances.

The said entrance belonged to the elders so it was naturally crowded with bulky men. They were moving like npc's. Looking at them one could think that they were perhaps ready for attack with loaded guns and the shinning daggers.

"This is the entrance." Slave pointed and stood aside. The wall of the entrance was not big and Ahram could easily sprint at the other side. There were few lamps lit for the security to keep guard.

Team head surveyed critically and gestured them to wait. "We will break this gate in order to enter at once however after entering inside the tough job will begin."

"In case security men are in number split in pairs and handle them. No one should escape at the other side of the mansion and alert others. Later Clark and Orin will dispose of the dead security men. According to the slave the path toward the path is straight for reaching elder. Albert would enter with Sashi and silence if there are few security men inside personal living." Junan divided their expected duties.

"Who is best here for torturing?" team head asked. Until now they did not torture any npc so it would take some effort. "Only few slaps are enough for some oldie elder." Orin spoke.

They looked at him and sighed. "If it is happens then good thing else it is your responsibility to make him blurt out every secret." Junan gave this responsibility to Orin.

He regretted for giving the idea of slaps.

Jake remained with the team head he did his responsibility to dig out the type of the task. Jake did not mind. For now he could remain low key for the sake of his right arm.

He was bluntly told by the task panel that in the future he would lead the team. There was no harm in waiting for that day. He wanted to work hard till then and heal the dysfunctional hand.

Clark and Orin stepped ahead at the gesture of the team head. They used their big weapons. Clark hammered on the gate. The thorny mace made some dent on the gate.

The security men inside the entrance got alert. It was half past midnight. They were shocked that someone attacked at this hour. Another hammer fell on the gate. This time the gate got severe dent. The mace did last strike and the gate gave in.

The security men could see who was at the other side.
