Egret

Chapter 22. Dreams of ants

There was a deep tranquility in the intestines. There were over a thousand people who entered the auction hall, and they kept silent without any movement of power.

‘Argh. Brother, what are you doing..! ’

Sage pretended to be near Judas, but was not afraid of him.

Siegfried is the king of Midgard after all. If there is a mention of smoking, it means that I will touch the institutions of this country authentically. In other words, there was no more provocation for the Midgards than that. And this was a dangerous choice for Sage to see.

Judas is the successor to the Imperial Monarchy. I haven't found out yet, but this was a serious problem that could have spread to continental warfare if I had done something wrong.

However, those who heard it were overwhelmed by Judas' confession rather than accepting it as a provocation.

What is it? What happened now? ’

They didn't even know that Judas used spirituality a little while ago.

Usually, the power of spirits used by known spiritists over the ages was not so overwhelming, although it was extraordinary. Spirits must always be near a magician in order to use their power, and their abilities are mainly supportive, such as facilitating or improving daily life.

Even a skilled spiritist thought it was impossible to detonate a gun without oxidizing the coalesced fire or creating a flame.

But what the audience overlooked was that the spirit contracted with Judas was not ordinary.

The Spirit King can initiate a simple spiritual procedure by communicating with the contractor without materializing. No matter how simple the power used by the Spirit King was, it was powerful and accurate for humans to accept.

It wasn't that difficult for the Fire Lord to detonate a gun by momentarily raising the temperature only to a certain point in the situation.

“Oh, don't be ridiculous! ”

Someone shouted out a seizure and broke the silence.

“I don't know what kind of talent you have, but how dare you be our bitch. Who recognizes you as a bastard? ”

Judas stands on the floor, dragging the Huang Dragon Chain with the energy of fire.

The opponent, who captures it with an opportunity, aims the gun at him and pulls the trigger straight away.

“Die!"

Ta 'ang!

Bullets fired and screams burst out again. But what unfolded after a while was not the end that many expected.

“Foolish. Who dares to acknowledge my decision? ”

Judas recovered the staff neatly, saying so.

The man who aimed for him was struck by a flaming arrow fired from a staff and knocked down like a stick of wood with a hole in his chest. It was instantaneous.

In contrast, the white half-mask, which had not splashed a drop of blood, made the left seat that was watching him more creepy.

Now I can no longer proceed with the auction, nor can I stand against him.

The auction house, called the flower of the night market, declared such a destruction of the entire museum.

* * *

Meanwhile, special guests were staying in the market street outside the auction house. It was Judas' handiwork that centered on the blue dragon Gaya.

Goya stares into the crowded auction house and scratches her throat with a dull expression.

“What? That looks fun. ”

When he touches the head of the slaver sitting on his back with his bare feet, he mutters with his chin bent.

“Do something about you guys. He's not a rat in the water. ”

“You bastards! What the hell's the point? ”

Someone shouted at me by evil. Gaya turned her eyes towards him.

In addition to those who sat on his seat, there were a number of slavers who were occupying the market around him, all crooked like rice. If they all have something in common, they're all soaking in cold water and dripping. There was even a merchant who almost suffocated and then spit the water out of his mouth.

“Why, what are you trying to free the slaves for? ”

Blue Dragon Gaya raided slavers around the auction house at the contractor's wish. The raid was so colourless that it was done without payment.

He knocks down the castle with a card without a weapon.

He just walked down the street, grabbed one of the merchants by the hand and patched them down, putting water on them like a waterfall so that they could not stand up again. It was up to the rest of the knights to restrain the fallen slavers' hands and feet.

Some merchant who felt threatened shot him, but his body was ticklish to him.

Gaya was like an eastern nightmare, beating people with magic bullets all over her.

Gaya shakes her hands like a fly chasing horror merchants.

“Oh, that? You don't have to let me go. Don't just let me go because it's annoying. ”

“ ……? ”

After you raided a slaver and took him out of the dust, you said, "Don't let him go."

The merchants distorted their faces as they saw Gaya whose words and actions were completely inconsistent. Either they were outrageous or they had to leave and stood up.

‘There is only one command I have received. ’

Judas didn't ask me how to deliver the slaves.

“Is slavery not a purpose? ”

“I'm not interested. ”

“Then why are you doing this.....? ”

“My master asked me to give it to you. ”

The Wind of the Spirit, that is, the Wind of the Contractor. Gaya faithfully fulfilled his will. A thin blue pupil, reminiscent of a snake's eye, grazes the merchants on the floor.

“As of today, this market will be eliminated. ”

Despite the striking declaration, those who succumbed to the power of the Blue Dragon did not react strongly. Because when I was shocked, I admitted the power he had. It was perfectly natural for the loser to hear the winner here.

“It makes no difference whether slaves or not. In other words, you are all attributed to one master according to the laws of Midgard. ”

“What nonsense! That you will treat us all like slaves..! ”

“Come on, the complainant. ”

At the end of the speech, the left seat was as quiet as if a rat had died. When no one stepped out, he graciously brushed his palms.

“― Over, mission over. ”

At the same time, the auction house situation was closed and the road was paved towards them.

A boy in a white mask walks out among the people as if he were falling into a rain storm. It was a stubborn bombing even after I discovered people who had fallen into the water.

“Owner.”

The faces of the merchants who saw Gaya kneel down to him and set an example were frowning.

"The author is the owner? ’

‘You look young. ’

‘Maybe it can be beaded well..... ’

Seeing their gaze change, Judas smiles coldly with a black cane tucked over his shoulder.

“Indeed. All those who fell down here were buying and selling people. ”

“Oh, you did this because you didn't like it? You're a Hoyne.”

A merchant tries to make amends with his hands and feet tied. The merchant, who felt that Judas had succeeded in drawing attention to him, hurriedly added.

“But please take a look at the situation. It's never illegal to buy and sell slaves in this country. ”

“Hmm. Isn't that illegal? ”

“Yes! We know that it is offensive in a country that believes in God. But wouldn't each territory have its own laws? ”

Judas clenches his head, meaning to keep trying.

“In this country, power is status and money. An incompetent man is useless in the end! It is our merchants who convert that value into money and make it useable. ”

“That, yes! Not everyone is competent because they're human. Those useless bastards might starve to death if they don't do that! ”

A sympathetic voice burst out from everywhere. They knelt before overwhelming force, but were still not convinced of it. Merchants who sold slaves complained of injustice with one voice.

Then Judas clears his laughter and opens his mouth.

“You still don't know? ”

“ ……! ”

“Evaluating someone is important. ”

The cold gold eyes looked down at them.

“It means that you can also be judged by someone else. ”

No one could argue with that. As they said, it was natural to enslave someone less capable than him.

“Yes. It turns out that the slave was branded the owner. ”

“Hey, you can't do this. He didn't treat us as slaves! ”

Someone shouted like they were terrified. Judas ignores it as though it was not worth answering. He strikes the ground with a chain of yellow dragons.

Chijijijijijiji!

Then a round ocean was drawn on the back of all the merchants who were there.

It was a flame stigma created by the Spirit of Fire. The letter E engraved in the sun was as elaborate and vivid as they themselves engraved on slaves.

“Argh!”

The screams burst simultaneously from all sides. Other travelers who watched the merchants go into slavery before their eyes trembled less with frightened eyes.

Traders were the only ones who had been branded, and guests who had visited many countries to buy slaves were not. But the dark horror of not knowing when it would look like took hold of them.

“Yo, forgive me. ”

“I just came to see you today. I had no intention of buying slaves at all. ”

Whatever they said, Judas didn't even care what they said.

He puts a red spirit flying like a bird on his fingertips and bends his head slightly towards her.

"Sorry."

I'm sorry I asked you to do this. Carney, who did not express it in words but vividly conveyed the will of the contractor that led to her soul, laughed.

Glad to help.

Yes. Now I feel like I'm rewarding the contract!

It was an unexpected answer, and Carney, who felt the tint he was stopping, gently said with a glowing glare.

You don't have to feel sorry at all. I know Igrett thinks of us as friends, but hmm. But we are spirits.

"Humans like to be free to be tied to no one.

Huhu, we're the opposite.

Rather, the more the Spirit binds itself, the more satisfied the contractor is. The sorcerer finds himself, calls his name, and waits eagerly for his wishes.

Even the moment I waited by my side was happiness, not redemption for the Spirit.

I love this place where I'm not free.

"Perhaps the concept of human slavery derives from us.

The blue wolf quietly adds its opinion. Equally, the spirit was unconditionally in accordance with the wishes of the sorcerer.

"It's just that we move willingly, and slaves are forced to move.

Looney felt that the roles played by both were similar. He grumbled, hiding in nature, without revealing himself in front of people.

"You see, we don't follow orders that we don't want to follow.

"So please give me as many orders as you want.

Carney smiles brightly, biting her cheeks like a girl in love. Judas closes his mouth firmly and silently looks down at her, and the sound of a small rhythm is heard in the wind.

It wasn't exactly a song, it was humming without lyrics.

“What...? ”

“Suddenly there were tears. ”

Tears gushed out of people's eyes unconscious.

The merchants who were branded and desperate on their backs, the visitors who were terrified, and the knights who were under Judas's command were all blushing with the same emotion.

It did not take long to realize that the cause was sound. Because of the wind blowing through Salang, the sound of the slate became louder and clearer.

“Oh, this is a fun skill. ”

Even though there was flesh, the Goya corresponding to the Spirit was not greatly affected by the song. He admired the song with an interesting face.

‘This voice. ’

‘That sheep slave we met during the day. ’

Edan and Cristina calmly allude to who they are, leaving teardrops flowing regardless of their will.

‘Hmm. By the way. ’

Baikal, who stood a little behind them, snorted and stared up at the starry night sky, full of grey food clouds.

‘What a beautiful tune..... ’

It is a voice that could have fallen out even if it had not been the ability to transmit sad feelings.

When I saw her during the day, I didn't know she was so confident and a small voice. Judas said that if she sang, it would fit her well a hundred times.

Whoops!

A familiar green wind wrapped around Judas. As he stretched out his palms, a gust of wind gusted out of the air and formed him.

Igret!

Within a few moments, Uni swirls around her palms, shaking her wings.

Ehehe, I'm back!

“Welcome. Uni.”

Karr UNI smiled at the kind welcome. The blue wolf also waves its tail as it breathes in the vibrant voice of the wind.

“You……. ”

A man close by took off his mask and asked in a serious manner.

“Who are you?”

It was Midgard's nobility who asked Judas a question. The fact that the nobleman who found the slave field took off his mask and bare face means that he respects his opponent that much.

“Tell your son. ”

Judas ordered a high-pressure attitude instead of answering questions.

“Soon you will meet a challenger who resists his authority. ”

Anyone who challenges Sichuan and wins, regardless of his or her place of origin and identity, can gain the authority of Sichuan.

It was possible for Midgard's special power structure to operate as a sequencer by force rather than by monarchy. And he called it a game, challenging the Sichuan.

“Prepare for a new game. ”

It was a proclamation that opened a new game in Midgard that would confuse so many outlaws.
