Black Summoner
Episode 158: Brothers and Sisters of Slave Traders
- Tricen Castle Town
Trysen Castle is built slightly away from the castle town and on a small high hill. The area of the territory of Tricene only spreads the basic desert, but the only green plain near the capital. The castle and city were surrounded by thick walls, and carriages formed dozens of rows from the main gates of the capital city of Tahoe. Many of them are merchants who visit more businesses than other cities. When entering the castle town of Tryssen, a state-approved ID card is required whether you are a merchant or not, and the shipment can be rigorously examined. In addition, now that we are in a time of war, the censorship has been intensified, and the merchants are waiting long enough to form a line.
"Next!
When the carriage completes the examination and moves forward, the gate soldiers call for the next carriage. Slave traders, the soldiers immediately thought. A cage was placed on the carriage, in which beasts and humans believed to be slaves were captured. As the carriage plugs in front of the gate, the gate soldiers stand on the path and block the way.
"This is a soldier, we always take care of him"
"Thank you for your help."
A merchant-like, honest young man turns his smile to the captain, the soldier at the gate. Is it my sister who sits next to her? He has the same dark hair and a nostalgic grin as the young man. I don't speak up, but that captain didn't look like a brother or sister who makes slave traders his business.
"Let me check the shipment. And give me your ID. Well, it feels like a slaver."
"Yeah, I was just gradually solitary in a young man as you can see. I brought you a product today to wholesale to the Hererton Slave Chamber in Castle Town...... what do you say? All of them will be first-class this time. I'm sure it'll sell for a lot of money."
"That's what I envy."
"Your ID, uh, where did you do it... can you check the shipment first?
"Oh, I don't mind. Hey, check everyone's faces. They're so proud of you!
"Oh, that's so exciting!
One of the ordered gate soldiers climbs onto the carrier and peeks into the cage to tread with Girodiro. The slaves uniformly wore the hood deep, with half their faces invisible.
"Hey, take off your hood and show me your face"
The gate soldier, who grins slightly, called out was a burning bright-haired woman who was beside the cage. It can also be read from the top of the robe to be an outstanding style. The point is, I guess I nominated him first based on those emotions. The woman slowly lowered her hood.
"Oh, sure, this slave is incredibly good, huh...?
"... Hey, what's up?
The captain asks, suspicious of his men who have stopped moving.
"... hey, with a beauty I've never even seen that. I stopped by surprise."
"Hey, you have a nosebleed... what are you imagining? Do your job!
"I'm sorry, it's not a feature of the arrangement. No problem, next guy shows his face too."
The man at the gate wiped his nosebleed and was shifting his interest in the next slave. Later slaves had no problems either, and confirmation of the shipment seemed cleared.
"Totally -"
"Oh, was it in this jacket over here? Soldier, there it is!
"That sounds a lot like it. It's important. You have to take care of it."
"I'll be careful. Please check it out."
"Which...... hmm?
The identity cards received from the youth were indeed issued by the State. The national chapter is pressed and the name of the youth is inscribed. - Except for one funny thing.
(Is this some kind of seep?
What caught my eye was seeping like zero red ink. If you gaze at it dyed in red, its erosion will also appear to spread gradually, and eventually it will appear in 3D -
"... you don't seem to have a problem. Come through. All right!
The captain exalts the magic judgment carried out on the ID card, which is the last authentication, after the judgment has been made with a dedicated instrument.
"Thank you. So..."
"Thanks!
The young man returned his ID slowly leaves the carriage. With the thanks of a healthy girl, the soldiers felt strange and warm.
"You were a young man I wouldn't see around here. Being independent as a slave trader at that age is a big deal. Your sister is really cute..."
"Oh, and you were a very honest, refreshing, well-faced, wonderfully dressed young man. I want him to succeed. Hehe, I really like it."
"Huh? Yeah, right...?
He was a subordinate who affirmed the captain's unexpected response, but when he returned to his quarters he gave ears to his neighbor's colleagues.
"Hey. Is the captain this way?
"What are you talking about? The captain has a wife."
"Oh well. It's your fault, yeah..."
Looking again at the young man's carriage disappearing all over the city, the gate soldiers decided not to listen to the earlier dialogue.
The night breeze blows and the cold air entering through the gaps in the walls touches the skin. This is an abandoned house on the corner of Slam Street, where an unknown person lived until a few years ago, and a set of furniture for what is dusty remains in place. Apply the magic of fresh breeze (clean) to your bed or sofa and sit back somewhat clean. Yeah, I'm not uncomfortable sitting down.
"Master, you managed to infiltrate"
"Yeah, if you fly in the sky, it's none of your business."
We came straight from the Great Valley of Zhu towards Trisen, but there were several posts on the road. But it is utterly pointless before the visibility that progresses above the clouds and even resembles the optical camouflage caused by Melfina's white magic. The Dragon Cavalry Corps, which is supposed to guard this airspace, has been defeated. We took a long journey through the sky to reach the castle town of Trysen. Let's start by explaining how to infiltrate from there.
There are barriers in the sky along the walls that cover this country. It's unclear how many magicians are making it up, but it's pretty powerful from my eyes. While also gaining endurance, it helps to block the magic activatable region, the Magic Zone. Me or Colette's subpoena didn't seem to be the exception, but I couldn't subpoena him from the outside. If you force yourself to destroy the walls and barriers, you could be noticed by security.
So how did we break into the city? No, I normally came in through the main entrance. Taking it out of Kroto is nothing strange. If you take a large, eyed luggage car, caged with a cliff black wall (Adaman Lampert) on this, it will quickly turn into a carriage handled by a slave trader! It's a counter-attack to the fact that slave traders flourish in Trisen, and Gerard deceives you into disguising me as a merchant with the 'theatre' skill-enhancing clothing that Effil used to make. Lion kept his sister's role, Selah and Mel did not give each other the role of merchant's wife, but made the role stop because it was likely to develop into a guttural battle. Alex returns to the shadow of Lion, Boga, Mudfarak, who can't be a human form, also within magic, sorry but the other members are slave servants imprisoned in cages. By the way, the horse adopted Colette's Pegasus, who also had a hard time hiding his wings, but had no choice but to do so because he had no other suitable role. Here's Colette saying, "You're me! He looked like," but ignored it on the boulder.
The key here would be Selah's inherent skill 'Blood staining'. Even if he played slavery in the cage, Sabato and Sesame, royalty of Colette and Gown, the witches of Delamis, could find out who he is if his face was confirmed. Pretty is so characteristic that the more information you have before, the more you'll ever find out. To prevent it, Serra was deliberately put on a thin suit, and the colorful gatekeeper was the first to confirm it. Later, it is an easy job to manipulate blood with "blood manipulation" and manipulate the gatekeeper by letting it touch the blood so that it is unnoticed. I was past my head for a moment to figure out what I would do if he was a faggot, but still, if Selah's strength, it would have been an easy win without being felt even if he had headed to Sabato or Pretty.
Speaking of later difficulties, it is the presentation of identity cards, which I asked Melfina to draw up based on Colette's information. It can be said that what was generated is perfect if it only looks like it, but the trouble here is that the real ID has a special magic trick. You can't imitate that much with a fake ID, and if you can look it up, it's out. Well, in the end, Serra planted blood on her ID card and managed to take it off by manipulating the gatekeeper.
"Those gatekeepers are going to be manipulative for a while."
... That's why. It's really powerful, isn't it, that skill?
Now that we've broken into the capital city of Trisen, we've decided to look at the information gathering and base first. Information from Azglad says this barrier is from an emergency and is not normally activated. Powerful, but poorly fueled to maintain, because with this stuff, it's the only way out of the way for the Dragon Cavalry. I wonder if Trysen is being hunted down by so long, and the castle seems to be holding a social party inviting noblemen night after night. It doesn't make any sense. From what I've investigated, the Magic Knights have entered the castle, but the Steel Knights led by Dan have yet to arrive.
I thought about visiting the Adventurer Guild, which was the first candidate for the base, but there is strong surveillance of the Trysen guys and they are not suitable for the base. Not to mention that I know the guild chief there, and I'm not an inadvertently trustworthy opponent. Exclusion. And it is this ruin that has settled around.
"According to Colette's calculations, Dan will be back around tomorrow. That's when you fight."
"Hey, shouldn't we attack the Steel Knights before they come back? What are you talking about? The kind of eyes that look at that poor thing!
Sabato, what are you talking about?
