Chapter 129
Chapter 129
“There are people taller than Eldi.”
Asilie, who ran from a different location than the first watchtower she climbed up, saw the corpse of the captain and the first impression she had was quite shocking.
“No, sister? You speak as if I were a specimen of a giant?”
“Ummm. Really…?”
“How can you not be ashamed of it?”
Even though it is true that I am much bigger than my peers, I think Asilie’s evaluation is unfair since there are already cases like Ekatrina and Radnell Vandes.
However, Asilie, who was checking the captain’s arms while lightly averting her eyes from my resentment, found something like a bundle of keys and said,
“I think it was the role of managing the people who were caught? If you recall that people came and went to this tent when you scouted earlier, I think this was an auction house.”
“He said he called those dead over there his subordinates, but our brief conversation seemed a bit lacking. Maybe the brainy one is hiding somewhere else?”
“Well, since these guys are doing business with nobles, there’s a good chance. Come to think of it, what was that scream earlier?”
“Unexpected variable. He was secretly hiding a prostitute.
“Hmm.
I haven’t thought about it that way, but it seems like a good possibility. Looking back on the number of customers we briefly checked, it’s not like they’re doing business for a day or two.
As a result, from my point of view, it’s good that I easily defeated more than 40 people like eating cake.
“First of all, just in case, can you walk around and see if there’s anyone we haven’t found? Maybe my sister is better at scouting than I am.”
“Whoops. It’s a very good attitude to be cautious while winning so easily. I’ll be back soon.”
Come to think of it, I only learned from Asilie every time, but I never had a chance to show you how to move in real life. After realizing that I didn’t show any ulterior motives, I feel like my nose suddenly rises.
“Are you there! Regular inspections are out… Damn it. It was in earnest.”
The inside of the tent, which was praised by the lifelong teacher and feeling somewhat tense, was decorated like an auction house in earnest by digging and cutting the floor. Thanks to that, I was convinced that there must be someone else acting as the brain besides the boss from earlier.
Starting with the lighting, it’s not very deep, but it’s digging the ground and piercing the passage to dragging the slaves. It was not difficult to figure out that someone who had a talent for entertainment had staged the stage to stir up excitement and spur consumers to purchase. From one to ten, we started with the atmosphere and ended with the atmosphere.
“I want to catch you and see your face.”
I don’t know who it is, but I know how to roll my head and I know how to consider various factors for profit. Perhaps, for the sake of his life, he would lightly sell Count Bossa or those related to him. If I could drag it, wouldn’t Sir Ekaf take care of it and put it to good use?
With that thought in mind, as I moved a little further through the halfway tunnel where traces of slaves were moved in chains, I saw a scene that I had expected to some extent.
About 20 people, regardless of race, are locked in an iron cage built to confine people. There seems to be no particularly hostile species, and even though they are locked up without distinction, they do not show any anxiety towards each other.
I don’t know if the sales target is noble, but if it’s comforting that the hygiene looks better than I thought, I spoke with the most polite attitude in the comforting sight.
“Hello everyone. I’m from the Liberation Front. There must be a slave trader hiding here somewhere. Does anyone know?”
My sudden appearance and remarks were enough to draw their attention. It was to the point where I could feel that the eyes of those who were on high alert changed drastically with just the word ‘liberation’. Some didn’t seem to understand what I was saying, perhaps because the language was different, but those who read the atmosphere had similar reactions.
However, unlike those hopeful gazes, no one opened their mouths.
As if something is working that makes it impossible to have full hope yet.
“Hmm. It’s amazing. I don’t think they took any magical measures…”
With eyes proven through Rudra’s asshole, I wondered if the shackles or chains that were attached to them were magically cast, so they couldn’t speak, but that wasn’t the case either.
While I was looking around to see if there was a device installed in the space… something subtle caught my eye.
A mass of magic in the form of a human.
“…strange.”
I naturally turned my head in case I was conscious of my gaze, and after a while, the mass of magical energy began to move stealthily. Just looking at that, it’s invisible magic or stealth magic.
Is it possible to detect magic? It was the first time I knew because I had never met people who used such continuous magic until now.
“There’s no way they just kept the mutes? Hey? All the shriveled ones outside are dead? Don’t worry. They didn’t sneak in.”
Slowly walking towards the center of the cages, the mass of magic that glanced at them didn’t seem to have any intention of running away. Instead, moving very slowly, he took out something in the form of a blade from his bosom and quietly moved behind me.
her. You’re approaching me to slit my throat even though I’m threatening that you’ve killed all of my subordinates or colleagues?
The stride speeding up little by little seemed confident of his victory, and judging from the fact that there was no sound of footsteps, it seemed that he had even cast a noise suppression magic. A guy who specializes in secretly running away or ambush from one to ten. It’s kind of strange because I’ve never met him.
“It’s not a lie, but I don’t believe it…” He
muttered regretfully and pretended not to know, turned around to face the guy, then reached out and grabbed the hand that held the dagger and spoke to him with a bright smile.
“Why don’t you believe me?”
“……!”
It is certainly. Judging by his movements and the trembling felt in his hands, he feels that he is screaming as if he has seen a ghost. I burrowed into my arms faster than the guy who was struggling to get out of my grasp, and as soon as I hit the headbutt right where his nose was supposed to be, blood splattered and limp in the empty air.
“Um. Even if you can’t use it, you still have to study magic. There are really strange things.”
“Oh, you caught the wizard with your bare hands!”
“Hero! Please! Get me out of here!”
“Help me!”
Until I held his hand, the people who didn’t understand what was happening and kept their mouths shut as if they were dead were afraid of this… guy? year? I guess it was Blood splattered in the air and pleading voices erupted from all directions as a signal for me to let go of the hand I was holding with a sullen expression.
“As I just said, you are safe now. Everyone calm down. I’ll come back after I’ve tied this guy down.”
“Don’t go! Please!”
“I’m a hero!!”
Hmmm. What is human mistrust? I’ve been caught in a place like this, so there’s nothing I can’t understand.
Regardless of race, men and women are clinging to iron cages.
However, in a state where you don’t know if this invisible guy really fainted or not, it’s a headache if something happens if you leave it without tying it down. After thinking about it for a while, I didn’t know if it would work or not, but I took out my sword in its sheath and slammed it into the floor, raising my voice a little.
“Don’t worry! All the slave traders paid for it with death. You are safe now. But if you don’t tie up this mysterious wizard, you’ll be in danger after you’re free, so I’d like to prioritize arresting you! I’ll leave my sword behind to put an end to this, so please wait a moment!”
“Well, are you sure? You’re not going to leave us, are you?”
It’s not a girl, but when a guy begs like that, you want to throw it away. I hate the situation where I can’t express my true feelings. I hate it.
“I swear by my sword. Please be patient.”
In the end, they were able to calm the fuss to some extent by pretending to be clumsy knights as they wished. Who do you think I am, and I swear by the sword.
After the rare experience of tying the invisible man with a rope that seemed moderately trouble-free, it took more time than expected to return and kick the muddy sword back and open the door.
Each one of them grabbed me and was ready to bow to say thank you, so when I accepted them, there really were no limits.
“I’ll go with my party to make sure there are no other threats around. It’s not very clean outside, so please wait inside.”
Fortunately, no one was ignorant to ask why it was not tidy.
Since no one even insisted on leaving right away, ignoring my words, I was able to leave the place very satisfied.
