Nevertheless, several "pathways" had been blocked. No new ones had been created recently. This showed how much security had been strengthened lately.
Despite Alonso's words, Miguel just nodded his head as if honored, never losing his smile.
"Don't worry too much. Somehow, there's always a way, isn't there?"
"..."
Alonso knew that his optimism was recent. After nearly dying several times from his master's abuse, he had brightened dramatically since meeting Alonso.
On the surface, it was because Alonso was known as a priest who was kind to slaves, so Miguel could get free time and pocket money under the pretext of escorting him.
And in reality... it was more than that.
Miguel had revived from a near-death state after hearing about the "pathways" from Alonso. He had even become more diligent in his work.
Pleased with this, his master often entrusted Miguel to Alonso, and others also requested that their slaves meet Alonso.
