Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

Chapter 283: Atasha

Fredrinn took the barbarian girl to the agreed-upon meeting spot, a small house they had bought from a commoner family.

”Who are you?” The girl from the Black Eagle Tribe glanced warily at Fredrinn. Although this person saved her, she wasnʼt aware of his motives.

Fredrinn didnʼt take off his mask since the situation was still unpredictable. He carefully observed the surroundings and it was only when he made sure that no one suspicious was nearby did he respond to the girl. ”I will tell you once all your people are here.”

He spoke in common language so the barbarian girl understood him.

”What do you plan to do with us?” She was still suspicious of this masked warrior. To be precise, she no longer trusted humans.

Fredrinn frowned while looking at the girl. ”I understand that you are feeling suspicious, but please trust me. We donʼt mean you any harm.”

”In the meantime, please wait patiently while my comrades are saving the rest of your people. Once everyone is gathered, I will explain everything to you.”

Hearing this, the girl no longer asked anything and just nodded her head.

Fredrinn noticed that she was uncomfortable because of the special chains so he took out a cutting tool from his bag and said. ”Let me help you with that. This can cut those chains.”

The girl didnʼt move and allowed him to cut off the chains.

Clang. Clang.

Once everything was removed, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief and comfort. Those chains weighted her down and prevented her from using her mana. Now that they had been removed, she felt lighter.

He doesnʼt seem to have any ill intentions, but can I really trust this human? He didnʼt even show me his face. Should I escape now?

Thinking about this, she looked around, searching for a possible escape route.

However, as if knowing what was on her mind, a calm voice suddenly drifted into her ears. ”Donʼt even think about escaping if you want to leave this place alive.”

She glanced at the masked human in alarm and blurted out. ”What do you mean?”

Fredrinn walked to the window side and beckoned to her. ”Come and take a look at the situation outside.”

The barbarian girl furrowed her eyebrows. With a hesitant look, she slowly walked towards the window and looked through the small gap opened by the masked human.

Outside, she could see dozens of human warriors roaming around as if searching for something.

”As you can see, they are looking for us. If you step out of this house, you will be captured by those people and they will send you to the guys who bought you from the tower.” Fredrinn told her, his words making her feel a sense of anxiety.

After knowing the situation she was in, she no longer said anything. She just sat in the corner looking listlessly at the ceiling.

Fredrinn didnʼt say anything and waited for his subordinates to arrive.

About half an hour later, his subordinates finally arrived, panting heavily as they entered the house.

”I thought we would be caught!” One of them exclaimed as he slumped into a chair, looking incredibly exhausted.

”Luckily they arenʼt that fast and the alleyways here are also narrow.” Another one added.

The barbarian girl glanced at them with vigilance. The old human who had bought her kept on touching her when they were inside the carriage. She was worried that these humans had similar thoughts.

If it really comes to that, then I will kill myself before they can touch me!

”Are you alright, my lady?” One of the masked warriors asked in a gentle voice.

The barbarian girl glanced at him and didnʼt say anything. She quietly channeled her mana into her hand. If they would do something to her, she was prepared to take her own life!

Fredrinn noticed the fluctuations of mana, but he decided not to intervene. With his speed, he could stop her before she could do something.

What is this kid planning to do?

”Donʼt be nervous.”

The warrior who had spoken took off his mask. It was a middle-aged Knight with a kind face.

”Once our reinforcements are here, we will take you out of this place and bring you back to your family.”

Hearing this, the barbarian girl raised her eyebrows in surprise. ”Are you telling the truth?”

”Of course.” The middle-aged Knight nodded gently.

The barbarian girl didnʼt trust him immediately. ”Why are you helping us? What will you gain from this?”

The middle-aged Knight chuckled as he replied with a voice filled with reverence. ”Because our lord is merciful.”

The other masked warriors nodded in agreement.

The barbarian girl was confused by his response.

Looking at her baffled look, the middle-aged Knight asked. ”Whatʼs your name, my lady?”

The barbarian girl glanced at the kind middle-aged Knight and hesitated to reply.

”You donʼt need to tell me if you donʼt want to.” The middle-aged Knight smiled before he wore his mask again. He then turned around and just when he was about to walk away…

”My name is Atasha.”

The middle-aged Knight smiled beneath his mask and left.

”Atasha, is it? One more of your people is coming. You tell him the situation.” Fredrinn calmly spoke.

Before she could respond, the door was pushed open by another group of masked warriors.

”You guys are here? No wonder the districtʼs security is panicking outside.” One of the people who had arrived said.

Fredrinn tapped the manʼs shoulder and pointed to Atasha. ”Bring the kid to her. She will explain the situation.”

Henry looked at the girl in surprise, wondering what had happened before they arrived. Although he was curious, he didnʼt bother to ask.

”Alright.”

The old warrior signaled his subordinates to bring the young barbarian they had rescued to Atasha.

Atasha watched everything in silence.

Are they really going to help us leave this place?

While she was deep in thought, the masked warriors brought a teenage barbarian to her and told her to explain the situation.
