Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 130

After leaving the huge tent that reminded me of a circus troupe, I tied up the guy who was still invisible and dragged him around once more and started wandering around the camp looking for a tent that might have been used by guys like the leader..

Of course, I didn't know anything before moving. Because there was no information that could be heard from the people locked in the cage. It was too difficult to just stand there among those people and wait for Asili, so I just walked around hoping to find a decent tent while I was running away..

The only sound of my footsteps and the invisible man being dragged through the quiet night air created an atmosphere like a serial killer on his way to dump a corpse, but since no one was watching anyway, I decided not to pay attention to it..

After wandering around for a bit, I soon ran into Asilier again. She looked at the invisible person behind me and asked with a puzzled expression..

"LDI? What are you dragging behind you??"

"The Invisible Man. He was hiding in that tent earlier.."

"ah! How did you know and catch it? Just wait. Maybe dispel will work."

"It looks like noise suppression has been put in place, but I'm sure it will be resolved as well.?"

"huh. It is a structure that blocks the movement by cutting off the flow of magic that is artificially placed on the outside. If you don't take any action, it will all be released.."

Even if I cut off the magic that was being cast, I had to drag around the magic that had already been cast because I didn't know how to cancel it. This saved me a lot of trouble. Unlike projectiles, buff magic is like having an extra layer of skin, so I don't feel inspired..

Anyway, after disarming the spell with Asilier's help, a man in extremely ordinary clothes appeared. He took a close look at the face that seemed to be around 30 by now, if not old, but it didn't look like a face I knew..

"mister. Wake up. The grim reaper is looking for you."

I hit the guy in the face three times at the same distance and speed, and the guy came to his senses with half-opened eyes..

"uh? Ugh...this place...argh! monster!"

"Who says the slave trader is a monster? And where is this handsome monster, you bastard? Aren’t you a monster created by society??"

"Aaaah! Even if you are wearing a human mask, you will not be fooled! help me! Anyone please help! A monster wearing a human mask...!"

"No, have you seen this crazy guy?! Is that what is coming out of the mouth of a bastard who kidnaps, imprisons, and forges healthy people and sells them into slavery??!"

I tried to just listen quietly, but I couldn't stand it anymore, so I dispelled the magic and started to step on it as best as I could. And Asili also participated in the expression of that anger..

"How dare anyone call a human hunter a monster?! The monster is you, you bastard!"

"Ouch! Eh, elf?! Why is the elf here??!"

The guy who had only eyes on me seemed to be even more distracted when the number of legs trampling on him suddenly increased to two. But what we need now is not a space for rational conversation, but two minutes of hatred. It's not enough to treat a normal person as a monster without being able to understand the situation. How dare a person who committed a crime ask for salvation?!

"Ouch! stop! Oh no! Please save me! please!"

"It's up to you! do not worry! Because I won’t die from this!"

"Ahhhh!"

After roughly 2 minutes of violence, the exhausted guy gasped and grabbed the leg of my pants..

"Okay, stop! Wrong! I was wrong so stop!"

"I know it's your fault even if you don't say it! What idiot would resort to violence to get the answer he knows! tell me what i don't know!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu What do you want. I swear to God we're just ordinary slaves..."

"There is no God for slavers!!"

"Ouch! Wrong! please stop hitting me!"

This guy, who is not even a fortune teller, is trying to hit with his soul, even selling his shoes. Well, in a world where gods exist, since they are prepared to sell God, they must also sell people. In hopes of scaring him more, I pulled out the sword from my waist and brought it towards the guy's tied hands..

"How dare you even sell the name of God and lie proudly. It will be difficult for you to see the sun tomorrow. Before you repent of your sins, let's cut off your fingers first.."

"Ugh, no.!"

It is quite a sight to see the face of a very frightened person turning pale when he uses his strength to suppress his attempts to run away and raises his sword as if he is going to cut him..

"If it doesn't work out, make it happen! God will be watching to see whether a confession about forging slave documents, including your connection to the Itisel noble faction, comes out of your mouth first, or whether your tongue comes out first.!"

"Yes, you are right! I forged it.!"

"Are you going to keep speaking arrogantly? I protect my pride when licking the dirt floor is not enough.?!"

I raised my voice thinking that it would finally be over, and he knelt down with his forehead on the floor and shouted..

"Wrong!! The paladin is right! I am! I kidnapped innocent subjects, forged documents, turned them into slaves, and sold them off.!"

what? paladin?

At that moment, I couldn't control my expression and just barely suppressed the thought of bursting out in laughter. When I shifted my gaze from the back of the guy's head to Asilier, she also had a similar expression to me, barely able to suppress laughter..

At first glance, this guy seems to have no tolerance for physical pain, befitting his frail body. If you're going to guess this much, you must be in quite a hurry. I had no intention of impersonating a Holy Knight, but I also had no intention of correcting this misunderstanding, so I said it in an appropriately sarcastic tone..

"Just now, you tried to kill me by surprise by hiding with magic, but you call yourself a paladin? I've committed so many sins that adding a couple more doesn't seem like a good idea.?"

"sorry! A lowly person does not know a noble person! I never imagined that He would walk this far from the Holy Kingdom. please forgive me!"

This is... the taste of illusion?

scent. It's fun to experience this myself. Afraid that I might get caught, she was already at least three steps away from me, covering her mouth and even closing her eyes as she laughed. I felt like I should be careful too, so I moved around her lowered waist and kept my distance..

"Did you believe that if you did something like this and asked for forgiveness, it would end? You ate everything from one to ten.."

"I'll tell you everything! This time, I will tell everything without lies and repent.!"

"You will find out later whether that statement is true or false. At least it won’t be a matter for me to judge here and now! Guide me to where your forged documents and workroom are located.!"

I forced the guy to stand up and put him on his back, so I stood behind the guy who didn't even dare to turn around, shrugged my shoulders at Asilier and slapped her with both hands..

Asilier had to fight with laughter once again at a gesture as universal as putting both hands together to ask for forgiveness..

◈

"This is this place. All important transactions and other paperwork were handled here.."

As I came to the studio, I thought I was really lucky that I didn't kill this guy. I thought it was just a simple shelter, but the studio turned out to be a secret space that was created separately..

The sight of a wooden secret door on the floor of an ordinary tent we had passed was certainly something to stimulate the imagination of children, but it was also proof that these crazy people had been settling in here for a long time, which was very unpleasant..

"How many years have they been doing this blasphemous shit??"

"Well, we've only been together for about 3 years. He merely took up the vacancy created by the death of previous hunters due to failed transactions. If you pay the cost, you can be assured of safety that money cannot buy.."

3Even though you've been selling people for years, you still use the expression 'outside'. Even though he's out of his mind, he's still a crazy person..

Still, it's a very useful piece of information right now. Asili and I took the lead and started gathering all the important documents that could easily be taken from inside..

Among them, there was content that there were collaborators not only within the aristocratic faction but also within the king's faction. I don't think this part is particularly new, but on the other hand, wouldn't it have been possible for the King's faction to step forward and do something in this situation? I have a question..

Maybe I tried other means, but I just happened to kill them faster. I'll have to ask Lord Ekaf about this later when I get the chance..

"L.D. At this level, I think I've taken care of all the important things without going overboard.."

"so do i. Let's go now."

"Are we going to reach the Holy Kingdom like this??"

Although he was watching intently, he came between us and asked questions, but of course he didn't have the will to explain, so I chose to just knock him out rather than bother him. The spout is light, so if you take it with you, it will be used well..

What was immediately important to me was the content of the document. Even though there was nothing that could be used as a point of contact with Count Bocha, there were plenty of things to destroy because it was all in one barrel..

"The war has been long. Who would have thought that thieves and slave traders were conspiring to this point?."

As I was looking at a document containing records of transactions and locations with those who spoke like thieves and were being used like hidden private soldiers, Asilier came up to me and spoke to me..

"Hmm. If this is really Count Bossa's work, he might have been thinking of creating an army out of thieves.?"

"So I want to destroy everything, but the distance is a bit far.."

"Let's see... here and here. And you can cover this forest in two days.?"

With that said, the forest that Asilier had pointed out, which was expected to be the thieves' hideout, was in a location that would take three days at most..

"This way? I can’t use a flying dragon because it might get caught.."

"are you okay. This is something that can be agreed upon with the spirits, so once you enter the forest, distance will have no meaning.."

"There is such a thing?"

When I was surprised by this story, which I had heard for the first time in all my time together, Asilier nodded and answered as if it was no big deal..

"Basically, they are nothing more than beings that cause harm to the forest and the spirits. If you offer a deal in the name of solving the problem, the spirits will be happy to help you. Of course, it's possible since I'm with you as an elf. It's been so long that I don't really remember... The distance you have to walk all day is reduced to an hour.?"

"Is it like a spirit gate? It's amazing."

"The concept is different, but it can be said to be similar.."

I was probably tired after walking around all day, but after listening to Asilier's story, I suddenly feel revitalized..

I started to feel excited as I thought that tomorrow would also be a rewarding day..
