Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 558 - The Girl Who Was Captured

Chapter 558 - The Girl Who Was Captured

Princess Anna did seem to have some mental problems. It wasn't as simple as losing her memory.
She kept having a splitting headache whenever she recalled the previous events. It was as though there was some force preventing her from regaining her memory.
Seeing Princess Anna's pained expression, Klein couldn't help but gently pat the Princess on the shoulder, telling her to rest well.
The matter had finally come to an end, but it had indeed become a problem as to how to deal with Gray, who had returned with Klein and James.
This was because the natives were actually quite xenophobic. They were weak and didn't have any magic.
They had a hostile attitude towards all strangers,
Especially the bald uncle. He looked strangely at Gray, who was wrapped up in a strange mask.
Thankfully, he still gave Klein some face and didn't directly turn hostile. Instead, he asked in a roundabout manner.
Gray coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
No matter what, he couldn't reveal his true identity, so he turned his face in Klein's direction,
Only then did Klein remember that he had forgotten to introduce him. He quickly pulled Gray in front of everyone.
"It's like this. We encountered a lot of things on the way to rescue the Princess when we entered Demon King Saxe's territory. Although I can't explain them to you all, this person is one of the slaves who was rescued by Demon King Saxe!"
Gray blinked. He didn't expect Klein to say that he was a slave.
Forget it. Identity wasn't important. What was important was whether he could be accepted by the people in front of him.
The uncle blinked. "He's a slave, so he should be our companion? Then why did he cover his face? Take off the mask and let me take a good look. He might be someone's relative!"
As he said that, the uncle walked over and wanted to take off Gray's mask.
After all, with such a strange mask on his face, anyone would be on high alert.
Gray took two steps back. The atmosphere seemed to be very tense. He couldn't let these people see his true face.
Because during the battle with the Demon King Saxe, many of the local natives had seen the methods of the Black Crow Legion.
Although Gray was wearing a crow mask at that time, it was hard to say if anyone had seen his true face.
Seeing Gray resist revealing his true face, the uncle had a suspicious look on his face.
He sized Gray up from head to toe. To them, anyone who hid their identity and didn't reveal it to others wasn't trustworthy!
Klein moved to block the bald uncle's footsteps.
"Wait a moment. If you have any doubts about this person's identity, then come and ask me. If you don't trust him, why don't you trust me?"
"This person was indeed rescued by me along the way. If you don't believe me, look, he's already covered in wounds!"
As he said that, he pulled Gray's clothes aside. As expected, he was covered in wounds. It was hard to imagine that he had been able to hold on.
At this moment, the bald uncle also had a guilty look on his face as he hurriedly apologized to Klein and Gray.
"Aiyah, I'm really sorry. This place has always been wary of strangers, let alone someone wearing a mask. We were always afraid that this person was sent by Demon King Saxe, so we asked a few more questions..."
Klein sighed lightly. "...Then let me introduce him to you. This person is called Edward. He's not a native of this place. He's a slave that Demon King Saxe captured from another dimension, so you probably don't know him."
"Furthermore, during this period of time, Edward's face has suffered severe external injuries. He's now disfigured. It's actually very normal for him to wear a mask and not want to reveal his true appearance. I hope you can understand!"
Upon hearing Klein's description, the others naturally believed him.
Furthermore, the bald uncle was the first to apologize to Gray, and his attitude became warm.
"Aiyah, no matter where you were from in the past, since you're here, we're all friends..."
He didn't expect Klein's words to be so effective. Gray was also shocked that he had been so easily accepted by the natives.
Having been busy for a few days without rest, Klein also wanted to find a place to sleep.
But at that moment, a woman dressed in plain clothes ran over with a panicked expression.
Seeing that she was dressed like a native, she looked anxious as she rushed into the crowd and shouted.
"Something happened! Something happened! My daughter has been taken away!"
Klein knitted his brows tightly. It really was a case of waves rising before the end.
Needless to say, there was no one other than Demon King Saxe who could do such a brutal thing in this realm.
Everyone surrounded him to ask about the situation.
It turned out that just now, the woman's daughter had been taken away by an unknown person.
This person was dressed in black and looked extremely strange. Even his face couldn't be seen clearly.
"My daughter is only twenty years old, but she was taken away by someone just like that. I really don't know what kind of torture she has suffered. I am a woman and I don't have the ability to rescue her. What should I do?"
As she spoke, the woman began to wail loudly as if she had already foreseen the outcome of the matter.
At this moment, someone had already started cursing Demon King Saxe. This fellow had actually done something outrageous again.
"We are all very respectful to him and have paid him a lot of tribute. He actually did such a thing? How despicable!"
At this moment, the bald uncle who had been maintaining his rationality all this time had a different opinion.
"I keep feeling that something isn't right. Demon King Saxe has always been fair and square. He never hides his evil deeds."
Since he was already a bad guy that everyone had to stop, he would never do such things in secret.
After listening to the bald uncle's analysis, everyone agreed.
After all, Demon King Saxe's previous actions were all very public. He would never assign a man in black to do evil deeds.
Most of them were large groups of people who wrote the words 'I am a bad guy' on their faces.
When a person's behavior changed, it meant that there must be something else going on.
"You mean that the person who took the girl wasn't Demon King Saxe? Then who could it be?"
"Our place is sparsely populated, so we're basically more familiar with it?"
At this time, the woman stopped crying. "Oh right, I remember just now, that black-clothed person seemed to be running in the direction of that mysterious cave!"
Upon hearing the words 'mysterious cave', everyone's faces were filled with terror.
Especially the bald uncle. What? The direction he escaped to was actually the mysterious cave?
"Then it's over. If they enter that terrifying place, your daughter will definitely be doomed!"
Even if they were really captured by Demon King Saxe, there was still some hope.. But if they entered that mysterious cave, there was a high chance that they would not be able to return.
