259,

Death by fire...

As soon as the Water Priest uttered these words, there was an uproar in the prison cell.

"Death by fire?!"

"Oh my god!! Let me out!"

It was no longer begging for mercy, but a violent attempt to break through the door.

Cabellus and Mathews pushed frantically, but they were stopped by the two guards of the Water Church.

"You stay here and wait for your death calmly ~"

Since it was built to protect against war, the door was made of bricks.

Once the door was closed, it formed a complete brick wall.

But it wouldn't close tightly, as it was designed for evacuation, and there was a handle both inside and outside.

Of course, the Water Priest was not an idiot. After closing the door, he used magic to freeze it.

The sound was isolated, and no matter how much Cabellus and Mathews shouted, no one paid any attention.

It was a long night, a quiet and cold night. Cyclone felt very sad for the first time at night.

Normally, he would sleep and wake up to a new day, but now he couldn't sleep because he knew that after waking up, he would face death.

"We are not remnants of the demons..."

Mathews said tearfully, but Cabellus responded.

"It's not about the demons anymore. He just wants someone to come out and die to show his authority. But..."

Suddenly, Cabellus looked at Cyclone.

"Cyclone, my friend, why are you so calm?"

Finally, Cabellus noticed Cyclone's attitude.

Since being thrown into this cell, Cyclone had been silent, showing no signs of panic like Cabellus and Mathews.

At this moment, Cyclone whispered.

"Just pretending~"

He also made a gesture to indicate to be quiet.

Why didn't he remind them directly, but wait for Cabellus to ask before giving the reminder?

The reason was simple - Cyclone had already made a plan, and this plan couldn't arouse suspicion from the guards outside.

Of course, the premise was that there were guards outside.

But Cyclone had to consider this possibility as it was a matter of life and death, and every detail had to be taken into account.

"What's...what's going on?"

Understanding this, Cabellus lowered his voice and asked.

"It's nothing, we can only wait for death~"

Although he said this, Cyclone bent down and took out a dagger from his shoe, the Silver Blade that once threatened his life but also saved him.

"Oh my god?! Where did you get this..."

After a moment of exclamation, Cabellus immediately covered his mouth and whispered again.

"No wonder you're Allen's hero. When did you get it back?"

Cyclone didn't plan to explain this, as it was meaningless at this moment.

Instead, he gestured again, indicating for the two to come closer.

"When they come to get us tomorrow, we'll break out."

The three began to discuss in low voices.

"Cyclone, my friend, although this is one way, as you just saw, that Water Priest knows magic. How can we, ordinary people, defeat him?"

"That priest of the Water Sect, in order to show off how powerful he is in front of the villagers tomorrow, will definitely go to the execution ground to perform. So he will only send guards to escort us to the execution ground."

"Oh, I see. That makes sense."

"But... What if the guards know magic?"

"If they really did, the Water Sect priest wouldn't have personally dragged us here earlier, right?"

Cyclone signaled Cabellus to come closer.

"So... now there is something we must do, to lower the guards' vigilance."

"What... what should we do then?"

"It's simple! We just have to make them think we are powerless to resist!"

Cabellus glanced at the stone door, then looked back at Cyclone.

Just then, Cyclone suddenly fell silent, and simply raised his fist, which was burning hot, and blew into it.

"Hahaha, I understand now!"

Cabellus pointed at Cyclone and laughed.

"It's all because of you that I am here!!"

As Cabellus shouted loudly, he kept his eyes on Cyclone.

"Huh?!"

Cyclone chuckled, then took a step forward.

"Wait, what are you doing?! Cyclone, my friend! Our years of friendship!! You..."

Cabellus continued to shout, and Cyclone had to play his part as well.

"Damn it! Don't you dare act innocent! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here either!"

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!!"

"What's wrong? Should I hit you?"

"Hahaha...hahaha...bastard! I am not honorable if you are not righteous! Die!!!"

And so, a conversation between men began.
