Egret

Chapter 22. Dreams of ants

The faces of the guides who saw Edan's hand climb on the sword handle without sound were pale.

If I revealed that I couldn't do this, I became a really cold body and lay down. At the crossroads of advancement, the choice was eventually one.

“I'll walk you to column one right now! ”

Era, they turned to the idea of wanting to know. It was also a misery to enter through an auction house full of people.

Of course, there was a guiding coalition to sanction the actual guests, but it was clear that if they rebelled, they would already leave low before they could get help. The strong have no choice but to obey. The irony of Midgard was also applied here indelibly.

They followed Judas' orders with a natural sentiment rather than feeling unfair. The force he showed was only one Spirit of Fire, but he could feel it instinctively.

I felt like I was crushed even when I faced my eyes. He was certainly a strong man, not just because he was noble. So they decided to take me to the 1st column without any military noise.

However, as expected, there was a problem.

“I'll pass by for a moment. ”

“What? Where are you going? ”

I haven't even reached the 1st column yet, but I've already bumped into other guests after passing the midpoint.

From the middle column, there were those in power who felt like they were using a bit of power. With big money coming from the market, the crowds were forced to be high-ranking together.

There was no hole here to concede a difficult position after the battle.

“Coming through. I'm sorry, sir. Wait..... ”

“Go away if you know I'm sorry. ”

“Why? Did the king walk? ”

Kick-kill, one laugh. Baptism poured out. When the faces of the two guides who had guided Judas became dull, the guides hired by the other guests stood up and calmed the situation.

“Ugh! What's wrong with all these guides? I'm trying to get in here without fear. ”

“There's no law, but we have to protect the imagination. What kind of place do you want? You want me to save you? ”

“I have to go to column one. ”

“ ……? ”

As long as I was guided, Judas' guide decisively predicted that this would happen.

“Column one. So get out of my way."

The people who were wagging about going to Column 1 confidently shut their mouths. It's so absurd that I couldn't find anything crazy to say.

“Hey, junior masters. I think you're mistaken. ”

Another guest in a mask instead of the guides began to advise.

“The noble status enjoyed in other countries is useless here. ”

“Exactly. What do you know about nobility or royalty? This is Midgard."

Several other guests also murmured and sympathized.

“Even if you are the king of another country, there is no reason for us to stand aside. If you want to take a good place, pay for every passing place. If you don't like it, trample it with enough force. ”

Midgard is the only land within the same continent where the Empire has no influence.

He was that powerful and proud of him. In common, the only subjects they bow down to are the operators of Midgard, namely Shizup.

“Hmm. Sichup? ”

Judas, who spoke briefly as he understood it, soon smiled lightly. It was not the comfortable smile I always made, but the arrogant smile I put on my opponent.

“Here's one, I came to buy a slave. ”

He glanced at those who did not intend to leave.

“No matter where you look, you're the only ones who volunteer to be slaves. ”

“What?”

“What is the difference between a slave and a slave on that stage who obeys under the power of Siegfried? ”

The majority of the people who came to enjoy the night market were prideful high-ranking, so it was instantaneous to move on to the provocation.

“Arrogant!”

Grab it!

Someone rushed in with their sword drawn. However, Judas' target was blocked by Edan before he even touched him.

‘Fast.'

Of course, Dumbbin's man was surprised and flawed by the people he was watching.

No one has seen him move, but he has already stopped the attack and left the opponent's sword in the freeze.

One blow to the ground. It was a haunted gesture.

“Keep me posted. ”

“Yes? Yes, yes! ”

The mute guide took the lead in each of the balanced positions. However, other guests who occupied difficult positions did not intend to succumb to such force.

“Defeat them! ”

“Those escorts are prosecutors no matter how hard they run. Unless it's a melee battle, you won't be able to use your side! ”

All the people gathered at the auction house were high-ranking, rolling big money, each carrying a skilled escort.

As the wizards began to paint the enchantment between Edan and the prosecutors, Baikal grumbled with his staff out.

“You know, grades. Who's the only one on our team with tests? ”

The wizard who had already completed it flashed under his feet. His black robe bursts into blue with a light that collides with each other.

“Please pause for a moment. Timepause. ”

All the wizards who were preparing to attack by a stabbing attack stopped moving.

A brief but limited movement, the elaborate array of collected magical powers collapsed, causing the magic to burst. All of Edan's opponent's swords were cut to the same length as if they had been cut to pieces.

Seeing Judas' group passing by, the faces of the middle fever guests were puzzled.

Of course, there were few who tried to overcome it. The auction house was now tied up to buy slaves. Few people have been buried in the noise and paid attention to this private quarrel.

This proved the overwhelming difference in skills between the attackers.

‘Are you saying it's not just a bluff? ’

Those who failed to overcome Judas retreated as Judas passed by.

When the path opened naturally, the ten guests who were focusing on the stage looked back at what was going on.

“Huh? A Mayor's Guide. What is it?”

“Hmmm. You don't have anyone to sell seats for? ”

The 1 st guest in the mask on the guide's question glanced at Judas' group in unison.

A woman covered in debts smiles at the man sitting next to her.

“Oh, my God, this is a new event. ”

“That's great. I was just about to get a little bored on the stage. ”

“Is this how you auction slaves now? ”

Among the royals who were in row 1 were guests of the royal class.

Familiar with special treatment, they enjoyed it without losing their high-pressure attitude even in sudden situations.

Only Judas' guide, who tried to find a place, sweated coldly in distress.

“Why don't you just stand there and introduce yourself? ”

“Oh, that girl's hair color is coveted. ”

“ ……. ”

Someone pointed at Cristina's hair and said, "I'm flattered. Cristina's blindfolded eyes became cold.

“These are not products……. ”

“If not, make it a commodity. ”

Those who had masked their faces were intoxicated by the idea that their natural appearance had been masked, revealing their inferior innermost selves.

Even the ugly smile that would not have been built, given the nobility's dignity and face, was drunk as much as possible under the mask.

“Don't you think a noble-born slave would taste good to tame? ”

“Oh, I've definitely never heard of it. ”

“That would be the best prize! ”

‘Oh, if you must. ’

At this point, Baikal became anxious and worried about the fact that Cristina was silent.

Cristina R., whom Baikal knows. A woman named Delphia was more respectful of her honor than anyone else and hated losing her pride than dying.

She is being blatantly harassed just because she doesn't want to ruin her boss's plan.

It was a moment when she could feel how much she was giving herself up for Judas.

“I was going to talk about it, but I'm glad everyone agrees. ”

“Huh?”

The faces of the ten guests who did not even think the opponent who mocked me would say that were hardened.

Judas lifts his staff and pretends to point to the man who coveted Cristina first.

“‘A slave of noble origin’. ”

I said it with my own mouth, and I felt strange and insulted.

Judas smiled at him as he stood up.

“I wanted to have that best product, too. ”

A thunderous silence surrounded the innards. A bitten opponent pulls something out of his waist, squeezing the rest of the unmasked area.

Ta 'ang!

A gunshot sounded as the tympanic membrane was eaten. No one else cared about the stage at this point. Even the moderators who were introducing slaves on stage stopped proceeding and focused on their situation.

Judas touches his hair and gives a clear look at the trajectory that passes.

“Apparently, the subordinate is a pretty good prosecutor. But in this country, knife-like weapons don't work, brother. ”

‘Gun.'

Another reason why we call Midgard ‘Mechanical Bureau’.

It was because they had made different advances in machinery and science instead of magic. The power to move the machine used magic as well, but the principle of activation was completely different.

In the slave market at the beginning of the country, the machines were not noticeable, mixed with all cultures, but there was a basic statement used by all Midgardians.

One of them was a magic gun that fired a magic bullet.

Hustle! Hustle!

I heard gunshots coming out of everywhere.

“You have a wizard in your hands, don't you? Are you from the Lubarzan Empire? ”

“ ……. ”

“But a wizard who takes a long time to activate magic can't stop a gun. If you want to test it, you can come with me. If you're a king, throw away your weapons because you want to be a living slave. ”

The man with the gun kindly advised him to look at Judas without words.

Of course, unlike their expectation of being frightened, Judas was interestingly looking at the gun they were holding.

‘Hmm, that's the Midgard Mechanical Weapon I saw in the book. As a matter of fact, the structure seems complicated. Is it a combination of magic and science? ’

He was once a sage who contributed to the study.

It was not only because it was tailored to the needs of others, but also because it was interested in and liked the research itself.

The man was intoxicated by superiority, not knowing Judas was interested in guns.

“Lubarzan is also a waste now. What do you mean, magical power? Once again, if Sioux were to reign in the age of war, he would surely be able to kneel under his feet. ”

“ ……. ”

“Well, don't worry. If we enter our slavery in advance of the war, there is no risk of death. Especially the blue-haired lady over there, she seems to have a crush on her face. ”

The man who had spotted Cristina from the beginning wanted to see the face hidden in the mask.

“Why don't you take off your mask first..... huh? ”

Beep, beep!

Suddenly, a red light flashes quickly, indicating overheating with a warning sound from the gun he was holding.

Before any action could be taken, the opened gun exploded in his hand.

“Argh!”

The man whose hand flew away with the explosion collapsed. Surprised by the sudden situation, the nobles scream tears and the others who were pointing their guns pull the trigger once.

Two-two-two!

A chaotic gunshot followed. But it didn't last long.

“What, what, that! ”

Magical bullets blocked by an unknown blue tent were being oxidized, emitting a healing vapor.

Powerful bullets with original magical power penetrate even the sophisticated shields set up by the wizards. It was completely inconceivable that it would melt in the veil.

‘The machine is weak in heat. ’

Judas, who operated the power of the Spirit, burst his gun and stopped the bullet at the same time, slowly approached them with a starless face.

As he approached, the ten guests who were attacking stepped back behind the dance and saw a harrowing scene.

“Yes, if it's natural for a strong man to trample on the weak. ”

The red energy rushing to the end of his staff burns like a monster's eye.

“Now I'll be your best friend. ”
