Two days later.

Joe was escorted out of his room and onto the deck.

“That’s the territory of Earl Lorenzo?” Sean asked.

A greyish white shadow sihouletted against the golden horizon in dawn light.

Joe grabbed on the railing nervously and leaned foward, fearing that he would miss something important.

“That’s right. That’s the Archduke Island!”

He finally brought the rescue team here.

“ Farrina , please hang in there just a little bit longer!”

“There are two ports on the island, one in the east and one west,” Joe took a deep breath and said in a rush. “Lorenzo put sentries around the dock area after he became a noble, but he did so mainly to defend against the nobles in the Kingdom of Wolfheart. He doesn’t really check merchants’ ships. The problem lies in the Castle District. It’s heavily guarded, and nobody can sneak in without permission.”

He had been longing to tell them the information over the past few days.

Too occupied with answering various questions put by Kajen Fels, Joe had not got a chance to discuss the rescue plan in detail. None of Kajen’s questions, obviously, was relevant to this operation or the church’s secret.

Kajen asked him in great detail about how he had humiliated Farrina and how they had later worked together to escape from the church. When words failed him, Kajen would ask his student Roentgen to play Farrina’s part to refresh his memories.

Sean only showed up during the dinner time.

He did not seem to care about this operation at all.

That was the reason Joe quickly disclosed what he knew. Whether they listened to him or not, the more information they had, the bigger chance they would have to successfully save Farrina.

“You don’t need to worry about that. We have our own way,” Sean interrupted him. “I want you to meet someone to let you guys get familiar with each other.”

“Who?” Joe asked.

“Our guide.”

Sean then blew a whistle and soon, two sailors brought a middle-aged man.

Joe immediately recognized him.

“Hagrid, you traitor — ”

As the assistant to Bishop Lorenzo, Hagrid had been Joe’s superior back in the church.

Hagrid said scornfully, “Like you really care about the church. If Farrina knows that you’ve given yourself up to Graycastle, who will be the traitor then?”

“I…” For a moment, Joe was speechless.

“No need to argue here,” Sean said as he walked steadily toward them and stood in between. “Mr. Hagrid, you know your task, right?”

Hagrid’s voice instantly dropped when he saw the king’s guard. He muttered, “Yes, sir. I’m going to take the two soldiers into the castle.”

“This is your only chance to get things right. It’s all up to you.”

“No problem, sir, but are you sure two is enough?”

Joe was surprised that Hagrid was worried about Graycastle.

Then he realized that no matter how many people Hagrid brought into the castle, it would be a solid betrayal anyway. If Graycastle failed, he would face severe punishment; so, he’d better give his full support to Graycastle.

“Rest assured. You’ll soon find out…” Sean broke off, his face splitting into a sneer as they slowly approached the Archduke Island, “what a complete version of God’s Punishment Warriors was.”

…

The rescue team did not leave the dock for the castle until midnight.

Zooey, Betty and two soldiers from the First Army set off for the castle.

The two soldiers were responsible for keeping an eye on Joe and Hagrid.

Since Hagrid was the earl’s henchman, nobody was suspicious. Hagrid soon dismissed the patrol team who came to question them.

The guards at the entrance of the castle did not stop them either.

Even though the other five men following Hagrid were all hooded, the guards did not bother raising a single question.

It appeared that Lorenzo did trust Hagrid very much.

The lord’s castle was right across the yard.

Hagrid disclosed that all the capable God’s Punishment Warriors were now guarding in Earl Lorenzo’s bedroom, who was apparently too frightened to sleep alone at the moment, and that there were no more than six of the God’s Punishment Warriors in total.

Apart from that, Lorenzo had also replaced his bedroom door with a solid copper door that could not be easily broken by common people but the God’s Punishment Warriors.

“I can get Lorenzo out of his room. I’ll just say that I know the secret of the treasure,” Hagrid said as he headed to the castle. “But then he’ll take his God’s Punishment Warriors with him, and his sudden appearance will alarm his other guards, so I have to find a way to stop him from doing that —”

“That’s fine. You just need to tell us where his bedroom is,” Zooey said with a shrug. “Then you’ll take Joe to the dungeon and get that girl out of there. You don’t have to worry about us.”

Hagrid was momentarily stunned and then said, “Well… OK.”

He straightened his bow tie, climbed up a flight of steps and knocked on a side door gently.

An old guard poked out his head and said, “Ah, Sir Hagrid. I didn’t know it was you…”
