Heavenly Castle

Fly in the sky. It is a dream that will never come true in a lifetime except for some magicians and those in power.

But the dream comes true with only ten gold coins.

That fact was instantly the subject of discussion among the nobles and the great merchants of the Kingdom of Karluk.

As a result, all the people who came to the store to buy the finest slaves, like the day after day, were upper-class people who could pay for the ten pieces of gold.

The rumor now spreads among the slave traders, and new slaves are sold to the store every day.

Conversely, it also meant that the number of slaves within the Kingdom of Karluk was instantly decreasing. Originally, slaves could not be sold unless via the King and the Koshmar Chamber of Commerce, but the kingdom was rendered untouchable by giving Tyki the right to trade in slaves.

Besides being able to negotiate directly, I can sell without having to pay a high toll to enter the Wang capital. It is an extremely important point for merchants who do not want to lose a single piece of copper coin.

Thus, while it was situated along a street with few people, the slave shop in Taiki became an unusual guest.

However, it was a good cycle as Tyke thought it would be, but it was something that some of us could never miss.

"What do you mean...!

At the head office of the Resinisción Chamber of Commerce, he yells in a voice like Gray pushed his anger to death.

Besides, Sieg, the manager, raised only one eyebrow.

"... what do you mean, what?

"I heard the Resinisión Chamber of Commerce is working with other countries and selling slaves out of the country"

When Gray told him so, Zigg broke up and opened his mouth.

"Oh, was that it? We at the Resinisción Chamber of Commerce are working with Sky Country to run a slave trading store. No, I really came across unexpected luck. You'd be surprised if I asked you where you sold it, wouldn't you? Oh, my God, not only senior nobles, but even royalties from other countries are here to buy them. The other day, the Emperor of the Blau Empire..."

To Zigg's words, spoken in a good mood, Gray thumped his back teeth and slapped the table.

A fierce noise echoes indoors and Zigg clasps his mouth.

"... did you gladly sell to royalty and nobility to a man who didn't even know how to treat slaves"

A cold, bottom-cold voice leaked out of Gray's mouth. Looking at it with cold eyes, Zig sighs.

"The person you sold is not the same nobleman you hate. Besides, the content of the slave contract is also being bought and sold with such high treatment that it clearly does not seem to be slavery. Every slave sold will be happy."

Saying so, Gray narrowed his eyes as sharply as a blade.

"... who makes that guarantee? Sieg. Do you, like any other slave trader, only need money? Why don't you try to reduce slavery? Why are we in a business where there are more slaves..."

"That's not true. Now say nothing and help us. If we keep this up, we can crush the Koshmar Chamber of Commerce even soon. And the royal family of the kingdom of Karluk will follow. That way, the economic foundations that the kingdom has built will belong to the kingdom of the sky. If we could have gotten that far, we wouldn't care about the rest. You can also expand your sales channels to far away countries. Oh, the future as if it were a dream, there......!

A knife stood at the table in front of Zieg, who was excited to answer Gray's query.

"... stop the slave trade now"

That's what they say in a low voice, and Zig narrows her eyes.

"... calm down. Whatever, I'll take you to the store. So, actually look and feel with your own eyes. That way, you'll understand."

Without pulling any strings, Zigg looked into Gray's eyes and told him so.

Leaving the Wang capital, the first thing that caught my eye was the figure of people walking wide down the street. It's usually one of the less popular lonely streets, but now of course there are pedestrians, people and soldiers who pulled carriages, etc.

On the other side of the people, there was a shop.

"That's what it is. Um, big...?

Zig's line stops on the way with his mouth open pointing in the direction of progress to guide him.

And he blinked a third time twice, tilting his neck.

"What. What's up?"

Grey calls me, and Zig roars.

"No... before, it seemed smaller..."

That said, I look at a store nearly three times bigger than a month ago, and I float a question mark.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but we're going first"

Gray, unaware of the original condition of the store, set aside his grumpy zig and headed to the store.

"Welcome!

Standing in front of the store, he is immediately called and looks in the direction of his voice. Then there was the figure of a girl who put together to see a clean white costume.

"Are you buying slaves? Or would you like to sell it?

Said that in a bright voice, Gray unwittingly wandered, but saw a slight sign of slavery at the base of the girl's neck, with a harsh look on her face.

"... are you made to work? I didn't expect young slaves like you to sell slaves..."

Hearing the angry seeping grey voice, the girl, who looks about fifteen, touches her neck with one hand.

"Oh, you mean the slave mark? I'm, in fact, a fugitive slave... and they let me work in confidence. I really need to be behind the store, but I have a lot of customers and it seems difficult, so I just need a little help..."

To the girl who says so with a smile as illuminated, Gray frowns with a face like she was drained of poison.

"Aren't you forced to work"

"Huh? No, customers. There's no one in this store who doesn't like working. I had a three-meal meal, and I slept in bed, and now I have more employees, so I get it every seven days until my day off, right? Isn't that amazing?"

With a radiant smile, the girl said so. Gray steps back in terrible agitation at that unexpected appearance and opens his mouth as he looks around.

"... but you'd sympathize with a slave to be sold, wouldn't you? If it was bad, it was the same situation, all the more so."

When asked so, the girl tilted her neck with a kyotoned face and raised her voice "Ah" as she noticed something.

"Maybe your uncle was a slave liberator or something, just like Mr. Richt?

When the girl dropped the tone of her voice and heard that, Gray's eyebrow roots stopped.

"... Richt. That's the name I heard. Sure, they belonged to an organization where the former slaves gathered..."

"Ah, that's the guy. Mr. Richter was half-hearted at first, but he actually went to check on the treatment of the slaves he was sold to, and he started helping out with the store right away, right? Now it's like buying slaves for sale in Wangdu..."

Grey's eyes open as the girl tries to tell him what's going on in Richt.

"What!?

Grey's yelling echoed into the store, and the eyes of the customers and clerks gathered to the two of them.

"Ah, wow...! Hey, hey, come here!

The rushed girl grabs Gray's arm and drags him into the back of the store.

He was pulled around the store while he said goodbye, and Gray was taken out of the back door.

Gray was alert to being suddenly taken out, but soon he noticed the sight spreading around him, turning his eyes round.
