Chapter 251 - Familiar Faces
The distance between the Corps of Teleknights camp and Vesta's camp was not too far. However, when Desmond headed to Vesta's camp, his steps were halted in front of a tent.
The tent looks like it was wide enough to accommodate twenty people at once. The entrance also opened wide, thus making the passers can see the people inside.
Although this was daylight, the interior was too dark, as if there was no candle and looked like an abandoned tent or storage tent. Most of the lighting was seen depended on the entrance, which was why the tent was opened wide.
As the light shone and brightened up the tent, a group of men was wearing black clothes that covered almost all of their entire bodies, except for their eyes were sitting on the ground with rope tying up their bodies.
But upon taking a closer look, there was spotted a blue triangle crystal with many plant roots attached to it, and it looks like it planted to their chest.
Although their entire faces were almost covered by black clothes, one can see the look in their eyes looked like they were withered as if their body sucked dry by something.
Despite sitting with bodies straight up, each of them shivered with their mouths covered with black clothes letting out a groaning sound continuously.
Their eyes looked dazed as they only stare at the empty air even though their target, Desmond, was standing in front of them.
"Hehe, it seems you guys became a prisoner right now," Desmond spoke in a low tone. His tone was calm and cold. Yet he gritted his teeth hardly while clenching his fist as action to restrain himself.
After a few seconds passed, Desmond finally calmed his mind. Eventually, he began to notices the blue triangle crystal that was attached to their chest.
What is that? Desmond thought. Just by looking at their expression and shivered bodies, he did not dare to touch that thing while slowly observing their reaction one by one.
System, scan that item and try to get some information about the origin of that thing, Desmond commanded. Although he was doubtful about the result, at least he tried.
[Scanning the target...0%]
[Scan Complete!]
[Try to match the new data with the host's brain...0%]
When looking at this, Desmond did not need to wait too long as the following system notification flashed instantly on his view that showed the result.
[ERORR: Insufficient knowledge!]
[No similar data were found!]
"Hah," Desmond sighed. He did not expect too much about this result. After all, he did not remember seeing this item appearance on these books he read.
Should I touch it? Desmond thought for a moment. He had a strange bloodline to protected his body, but still, that was too risky.
Right then, he shook his head. No, I can't. What if that item was also attached to his body? He spoke inwardly and then fell in thought.
If I can't touch it directly, what if I use my sword? Therefore, Desmond pulled his iron sword and gripped the hilt. Eventually, he used the tip of the sword hilt and would to stretch the blue triangle crystal.
But before that happen, a shout was heard from his back.
"Young master, please halt your action!" The voice was so loud, thus making the people that were near the tent to gather around.

Desmond slowly reattached his sword and sheathed it into his waist before turning his body around. As soon he turned around, he did not expect to see the remaining soldiers were gathering near the one person.
On the other hand, Laura and Annie were standing beside their young master. They had been prepared for battle and glared at the rest of the soldiers as Annie already gripped the hidden blades under her skirt while a magic circle was glowing on Laura's hand.
"Hello, captain." Desmond greeted with his hands were in the back of his waist. A cold glint flashed in his eyes for a moment before disappearing while he slowly taking a step forward to approach the captain.
Hold your actions, Desmond spoke inwardly to them with magic messages. He was grateful for their fast reaction to his safety and tiredness when they were offended only by simple action or words.
"Forgive for my rudeness, young master. But they are our precious prisoners, and you cannot injure or kills them no matter what the cost." The captain spoke without greeted him and immediately point his mistakes.
The captain then continued, "And also, please consider your actions carefully in the future. The item you want to attack was a precious item from the kingdom that weakened their power. If that item broke, the prisoners would gain their power back."
Luckily he was around when he saw Desmond almost break the seal. If not, he did not dare to imagine the consequence after that. He was just a mere 1st class Swordsman, yet all of the prisoners were higher than him.
The other soldiers were annoyed upon hearing this. They glanced at Desmond furiously for a moment before disperse and back to their duties.
After the captain explained to him, Desmond nodded and apologize, "I'm sorry and also forgive my rude action before." Although the captain looked upset about his action, yet he still spoke politely to him.
The captain also unconsciously helped him by explaining the usage of that item and saved his time not researching about that item.
Although Desmond admitted his mistakes, the captain was surprised not by his words but by his action. He did not remember the young master in front of him have this manner.
Then he began recalling the memories he had about the past Desmond and tried to assemble with the current Desmond.
"Since you said that, I'll take my leave." Looking at the dazed captain, Desmond spoke and head back to Vesta's camp. He knew with the captain around and his action before, the soldiers would become wary of him.
I have plenty of times and chances to kill them, Desmond thought. If not for the people around this area, he would be releasing his killing intent and storms back to the tent. In addition, he also silently took a note about that strange item.
