Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

The people of the industrial city, ready for ransom, had three bags of money set aside to match the number of culprits. It can be seen that the bags prepared are about half the length of the body and the weight is equivalent because the amount has become considerable.

For this reason, there are four wheels on the bottom of the bag, shaped like a suitcase. Even when it comes to suitcases, they do not feel the light weight used in modern times, but rather the weight of the bag itself in response to heavy making. The hand-held part is also made of stone in addition to metal to withstand the weight of the bag itself, and I can tell from just looking at it that it weighs quite a bit.

One of the negotiators speaks up when the industrial city humans carry those three bags outside the store.

"I brought the money. So release the hostages!

There were many people outside the store, including wild horses, but before them there were armed men who controlled the wild horses from approaching the store any further.

The solitude of the men who were in the store opens the window and asks.

"Any proof that the contents of that bag are gold?

"Open one here. You have to specify which one to open."

The robbers are convinced that the contents are real gold when they look at the people in the industrial city who have said that they have no problem opening any of them because they are not small workers.

"No, you don't have to open it"

"Then release the hostages quickly!

"Fine. But if you imitate something weird, you use magic immediately. All right?"

A negotiator man breathes into the words of a robber man. For a non-magician, a magician is nothing but a threat, and can't resist it if he can turn his fangs on the hunt.

So the robbers, the magicians, also targeted people in industrial cities.

"Okay. It's just a condition."

"What?

"I want to hand over the ransom and free the hostages at the same time"

"Why?

A robber man turns his suspicious eye to the negotiator man's proposal. Because I wouldn't make such demands if I wasn't up to something.

"There's enough money available for the number of hostages. But it is impossible to exchange one with another than the three bags. Then it would be better to replace it at the same time."

"But where's the guarantee that you guys won't act weird"

The man from the robbery is not convinced that people in industrial cities do nothing. Not to mention that outside the store, people with weapons are on guard, and if we release all the hostages, they might come at us.

But even if that happens, it is obvious that armaments will rise against the men who robbed them.

I'm not going to have an unnecessary psychological battle here if you try from an industrial city person. So at least a little information so that the hostages can be safely opened up.

"Okay. Then why don't you leave the three hostages and exchange the rest for ransom at the same time? This is a hostage-taking thing, and it's backed up by your advantage."

"So?"

"As soon as the exchange is complete, I'll make my way here and guide you all out of town. And just out of town, free the remaining three hostages. This shouldn't be a problem."

The robber man gives an answer as soon as he thinks about it a little.

"Fine. I'm taking all the hostages out now."

When the man says so, he takes the hostages out of the store. The hostages are taken out as follows the man who robbed them, followed by the other two robbers behind the hostages.

The hostages honestly follow the robbers, who don't have to be told that if they act weird, they'll shoot magic out of their backs. And when the men went out of the store, they chose the mayor and the other two, and let the rest out in front of them.

They were hostages to be freed from this, some of them appeared to be magicians, Seyya and Jack. I guess things would have been easily resolved if they had taken action from the beginning, but Seyya dares not hand in thinking that the problems of industrial cities should be solved in industrial cities.

"I'm going to put this bag at the midpoint now. Is that all right?

"Waited."

"What?

"Two things first."

"What do you mean?

Did the man from the robbery, who immediately before and orders the change of conditions, feel something, refuse to replace the three bags at the same time?

"Bring the two over here first. The hostages will be released in half. And in the last one, it's the rest of the liberation except for the original three. I won't accept anything else."

"Ok......"

The negotiator man only gave a harsh look for a moment, but when he immediately accepted the demands, he instructed the people of the town around him to carry the two bags. And when you put the bag at the center point of both, the people in town leave the bag.

"This will do."

"No problem. Hey, get it."

"Okay."

"Yes, sir."

A man from the robbery orders the other two to go get the bag. In doing so, the robbers, who walk out to the bag with half of the hostages, freed up about the hostages they brought in front of the bag. By the way, he doesn't look like Seyya in this, but he looks like Jack.

The freed hostages are immediately protected by the people of the town away from the bag. At the same time, the two robbers each hold hands on the handle of the bag.

It was that moment.

"Not yet!"

"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!

The men who stabbed and stabbed the negotiator's voice out of the crowd on the signal run out toward the two robbers at once. This was an unequivocal act of rebellion on the part of a human being in an industrial city, and the men of the robbery tried to respond with magic at all costs.

But their magic ended in underdevelopment.

"What!?

"Why!?

They were men with a stunned look on their magic formations that wouldn't unfold even if they chanted, but on their right hand is a bag of ransom prepared by humans in industrial cities firmly gripped. And the handle was made of metal and stone.

Assuming you make a handle that can withstand the weight of the bag itself, metal is all you need. But they go out of their way to match stone to metal to create a bag.

Why is that? The answer is if you're a non-magician, you'll notice right away, and that's what the majority of magicians know. Originally it is used by magicians to suppress magicians, but it is sometimes described as the power of miracles that can make non-magicians a decisive dozen against magicians.

If you use it, even if you are a magician, you have to stand on the same mound as a non-magician. A magic sealing stone, also known as the magician's natural enemy, was used in the handle of the bag. And a demonic sealing stone is also used in the tip part of the thorn held by humans in industrial cities to seize the robbers.

"Damn!

"Damn it!

The robbers understood that the handle of the bag was a magic seal and must have been easy to deal with if they had let go of their hands and responded immediately. But not only did they lose sight of the big money in front of them, but they didn't even understand why magic didn't work because they lacked experience as magicians in the first place.

It was two robbers who could be seized by industrial city humans, but one of the robbers has yet to be caught. What's more, the last one hadn't even been powerless with the demon seal stone yet, and there were still half the hostages behind him.

"Impersonate imitation!

It was almost at the same time that the man started chanting absurdly, pointing out the handcuffs that one of the hostages had in his hand at the man. It is not necessary to speak of the fact that the handcuffs are made of demonic sealed stones, but it will be necessary to explain why such things are in the hands of the hostages.

In industrial cities, magicians are always on the lookout for magicians' tools in every store. And this store happened to have devil-sealed stone handcuffs available, and the hostages saw gaps and hid devil-sealed stone handcuffs. I try to use that at this time, but the last one seemed a little different from the other robbers.

"Not really!"

The robber man dodged the protruding handcuffs on the verge and tried to exercise his magic against the hostage with the handcuffs. The hostage with the handcuffs was also a moment when he realized his hand had been evaded.

Suddenly the magic formations that the robber man was deploying disappear without a trace. That was a sight as if the magic of the robber man had been extinguished by someone, but time was spared to explain what had happened.

The mayor screams.

"The cuffs have plundered. Quickly seize it!"

Indeed, if the magic seal stone touches the magician at all, the magic of the magician disappears in an instant. But the robber man should have definitely avoided the handcuffs on the demon seal stone, and he was convinced that the hostages with the handcuffs were also avoided. That's why it took more time to swallow things.

The other hostages, who just reacted to the mayor's words, jumped toward the robbery and seized the figure, putting magic sealed stone handcuffs on its arms.

Human beings in industrial cities thus succeeded in rendering the magicians' robbers powerless. Those gathered in that fact raise their voices of joy, but there is no sign of Saiya or Jack among them. They disappeared in confusion.
