After hearing Isabella's words, the three strong men looked at each other with greedy looks on their faces, but there was still some vigilance and distrust of her in their eyes.
If Isabella hadn't beaten them so badly just now, I'm afraid they would have thought that Isabella was just wishful thinking and talking nonsense.
Isabella knew they didn't trust her.
So she smiled and whispered to them the plan she had drawn up, including how to escape, how to divide the work, how to sneak into the warden's room, etc.
This plan does sound feasible.
The doubts on the faces of the three strong men gradually disappeared little by little.
Especially when Isabella mentioned, "I know a little magic," they looked at her with wide eyes, feeling particularly incredible.
Among them, Mario asked curiously: "Since you said you know a little bit about the magic of opening locks, why do we still need to snatch the key from the warden?"
Isabella guessed that he would ask this question.
But naturally she wouldn't say that she didn't have much divine power left in her body.
I only heard her chuckle and explain: "We want to escape and steal the warden's stolen money. How many doors do we need to open in total?"
Mario replied: "Three? One for the cell, one for the door, and one for the warden's room?"
"Clever," Isabella gave him a thumbs up, and then continued, "Mario, assuming you are the warden, what will you do when you find that the slave under your care can unlock the magic?"
"I...I will send soldiers to guard every door to prevent them from escaping."
"Then what would you do if you found that the slave you were guarding had to grab the key to escape?"
"I...I will take care of the key to prevent it from being snatched away."
"So you understand what I mean?" Isabella asked with a smile.
Mario seemed to understand something, but when he opened his mouth, he found it difficult to express himself clearly.
On the contrary, Gunter next to him interjected: "This girl... No, madam, you want to say that in this way, we can pretend that we have to get the key to escape, thereby relaxing them.
of vigilance.
"In this way, they will focus their defensive attention on the key instead of the door itself. And we can take this opportunity to use 'little magic' to open the prison door and the warden's room door at the back?"
"That's right! You're smarter than Mario!" Isabella praised, without giving Mario any face.
When the three bastards finally agreed to obey her orders, Isabella showed a satisfied smile, leaned against the corner, and began to rest quietly and regain her strength.
Isabella silently recited the name of the God of Darkness over and over in her heart, praying for his protection and hoping that the next plan would go well.
The cell was isolated from the outside world and was dark. The only source of light was the torch on the wall.
There is almost no concept of time here.
Only when the jailer delivers rough meals can the slaves here vaguely realize that another day has passed.
When the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang." was heard from the end of the corridor, Isabella knew that this was the warden coming to inspect the cell.
Immediately, she kicked Mario next to her, and Mario immediately fell to the ground, holding his stomach and yelling "ouch" while rolling back and forth, pretending to be in extreme pain.
The warden was a middle-aged man with thinning hair and wearing a cloth robe. Under the light of the fire, he gave people a rather greasy look.
Behind him, there were two soldiers with weapons. Obviously, the warden was quite cautious in doing things. Even if the slaves were locked in the cage, he was worried that they would cause trouble and endanger his own safety.
Soon, the warden did what Isabella expected and found Mario lying on the ground pretending to have abdominal pain.
"What's going on with this guy?" the warden asked.
A soldier hurriedly replied: "I don't know, maybe he has the plague! He was fine this morning."
"I guess he's just pretending," the warden said coldly, "Open the door for me. If he is really sick and unable to participate in the next competition, I will throw him to the barren mountains to feed the wolves."
A soldier took the key from the warden's hand and prepared to open the lock.
Another soldier, holding a weapon, followed closely beside the warden, looking alert and acting as a bodyguard.
After all, the three men in this cell are all tall and strong, and even if they are locked in the cell, they will give people a sense of oppression.
The soldiers stared at them intently, fearing that they would suddenly rise up and attack the warden.
Only Isabella, who was standing aside, could be called slender, weak and pitiful compared to them.
The warden and the two soldiers were not only unwary of her, they even sympathized with her.
Such a beautiful and delicate girl will soon be sent to the arena to be fed to wild beasts.
What a shame!
If she were not a slave, it would be great to marry me as my wife!
However, the moment the cell door opened, Isabella suddenly appeared behind the soldier who unlocked the door. Taking advantage of him being unprepared, she hit him in the face with her arm, making stars appear in his eyes.
Immediately, she grabbed the cell key and shouted into the cell: "You three, why don't you run away quickly?"
After hearing her words, Gunter and Johnny ran away. Mario, who was lying on the ground and groaning, suddenly jumped up from the ground and nimbly crawled out of the cell like a rabbit.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
The warden reacted quickly and shouted: "Someone is coming! Stop them! Especially that pretty girl! She has the key to the cell in her hand!"
Soldiers stationed at various locations in the cell heard the warden's call.
Their nerves immediately changed from a relaxed state to tense, and they grabbed the weapons around them and guarded every passage in this maze-like prison vigilantly.
Especially at the prison gate, many soldiers came from all over, holding weapons and blocking the door.
But this did not affect Isabella's plan at all.
As soon as she escaped from the small cell, she immediately used the key in her hand to open the doors of the adjacent cells one by one, and released the slaves locked inside one by one.
In the blink of an eye, the corridor turned into a river, the crowd turned into a tide, slaves and soldiers mixed together, bustling and chaotic.
"Quick! That bastard woman is there! Get her quickly!"
At this time, the warden finally discovered Isabella's presence. While roaring, he pushed and shoved in the crowd and ran from the other end of the corridor.
Isabella chuckled and patted a passing soldier on the shoulder.
When the soldier turned around in horror, their faces quietly changed. Isabella became the soldier, and the soldier became Isabella.
Suddenly, the panicked soldier became the center of the whirlpool, attracting all the people to his side.
At the same time, where no one was paying attention, Isabella smiled at the busy warden and disappeared in the chaos in the blink of an eye.
