I Shall Survive Using Potions!

And approximately an hour later.

Many soldiers appeared again from the centre of the city.

Perhaps in the report of the returning commander, he tried to come with the great man by withholding the departure of the main unit, which would have been in a hurry to prepare.

Now, what comes is a great man or lord of the leadership......

We stand in a square for carriages waiting for the gate, which stretches out in front of the city gate. Around, there is a large crowd (one).

No, now that the story begins that the goddess has appeared here, there can be no one else who will leave after this occasion. Even from the city, a large crowd is coming after hearing rumors.

Oh, while we wait, Emile and Bell are back at the inn, finishing the checks, collecting their bags, and bringing Ed and the others. So I can keep going from here.

"You or the goddess Celestine!

A man, around the age of fifty, who got off the arriving carriage, yelled at us like that.

Yeah, from the outfit and the gear, obviously the lord.

Well, it's obvious, isn't it? criminal activity of the guards spoken out loud in front of the people. And the descent of the goddess Celestine. I'd be surprised if there was a lord left to manpower with this.

If you do it badly, you will know the scandal to the royal palace and neighboring countries, and if you do it well, you will be able to make a scandal and fly a flag as the land of the goddess. There's no way I'm letting my people take care of this critical situation that determines my future and that of your home.

"Yes, you're right"

Even Lords do not use such foolish polite language.

That makes Roland and Francette angry. 'No matter how many false identities you are, you can't have seen a goddess grope that far into human flair! Say' or something.... Especially when the francette.

Well, in my current setting, I'm the daughter of a nobleman from another country. Regardless of the aristocratic opponent in his own country, if he is an aristocrat in another country, he will not need to be so grumpy. They'll think you're a 12-13 year old anyway.

"So, what do you mean, explain the situation!

Apparently, they don't care about the people around them.

No, because the guards are already known to have been a part of the kidnapping organization, and vice versa, the possibility is that they are deliberately making us listen to it to cover it. Maybe he's a little deadbeat lord.

Either you listen to the story of "The Goddess Descending" properly and believe it, or you respond assuming it's true for once, just in case.

In this world, there is no one else who does not believe in the existence of the goddess Celestine. Occasionally he shows up, and about four years ago, he just shows up where great people from all over the country are gathered, so it's natural. Now if there's an atheist, I'd be surprised.

And it also conveys episodes where Ceres is pretty cynical, or doesn't really care if the irrelevant get involved when he inflicts divine punishment, or even if someone is in need, abandons them fine. There is no one in this world who has the courage to use the name of such a goddess to lie. Including criminals. So my story, too, was believed and deserved. Plus, you naturally hear about that 'sink coming down from the sky' thing...

So even though you're getting a one-off report, let me explain it out of my mouth again here, of course, for the sake of factual confirmation, but maybe there's a big element: an appeal to the people. There are a large number of merchants not only from other territories, but also from other countries. Of course, it could be with someone other than a merchant, for example, a spy from another country...

Even if the lord finds out, he will destroy your house in one shot, and all the people involved will die, I don't think he will get his hands on a case like that. There won't be enough profit to match that danger, and as beautiful a girl, a lord of a territory of this size can do anything about it. So maybe the lord has nothing to do with the kidnapping group.

So let me make it easy for you. … if you are willing to exorcise a flavor to its roots.

"Yes, we are from the Baltimore kingdom, the Count Adan family. I was suddenly kidnapped in the city and imprisoned in a private dungeon. And this morning, I was brought out to be sold as a slave......

I asked the guards for help at the city gate and they laughed and ignored me. While bickering at the kidnappers as if they were close to each other... "

"Hey, what..."

That much information should have already been reported, but Lord, you look surprised. I'm an actor.

Oh, no, I wonder if the victim panicked, knowing he was from the Count family in another country. Well, that would be a little bad.

"And on the verge of being taken out of the city, he said, 'What's the matter with trying to enslave the pretty girls!' And the goddess was manifested, and the killers were defeated by divine punishment."

"So, what happened to the goddess!

"Ascension after a few words from me."

I replied as I had thought in advance to the Lord's inquiry.

"Hmmm...... But you're pretty sure the guards are with the killers? I just didn't realize the voice asking for help, or..."

"I broke the barrel lid in front of you and stood up, yelling for help? If you don't realize that, the main entrance to this city will mean that all enemy troops can barely get through, but don't you mind spreading rumors like that?

When I said that and looked around at the audience, the lord silenced.

The guards are irrelevant, so to speak, and the criminals inside the leadership are not to blame, and I will not tolerate that.

"In the first place, the fact that the anger of the goddess was also directed at the guards is the most important proof, right?

The lord also had to reluctantly nod at the voice of consent rising from the audience.

I don't know if the guards wanted to be irrelevant, but now they can't blame the soldiers.

"And according to the story of the killers, the place of sale is a mansion of local lords of this country and middle-market merchants everywhere. They're not dealing with Wang Du, leading nobles, or major merchants."

"What..."

Lordship with a slightly better complexion.

That's right. If other countries were involved, or kingdoms, leading nobles, and big merchants involved, the story would be more confusing, and if we did poorly, it would be an international problem, or the country's stalls would shake. And in the worst case scenario, it is also possible to push all responsibility to the local responsible party to protect the leading ones.

Head of local area. Yeah, it's about this lord.

However, if the opponents are the lower, intermediate nobles and middle-man merchants of the region, whatever they may do to take them down, the royal palace side is free to do so. The lord here won't be able to get his hands on it directly, but it's all you have to do is go through the royal palace.

And above all, it is those aristocrats and merchants who are at fault, who have uncovered the evil that their men have done in this territory and have captured all the soldiers who have been bought, and, rather than failing, it is even possible that, if we cooperate in the picking up of the righteous lord, the local lord who bought slaves at the behest of the royal palace, we will remember congratulations from His Majesty.

All right, I would have found the light and been motivated. Here's another push.

"And I'll give you a message from Celestine, the goddess"

"" "" "Hey, hey, what the hey!" ""

Not only the lord, but all those around him, shouted.

Yeah, well, I guess so. Even popes and cardinals, such as giving words from goddesses, are not what they are. That would surprise me because, no matter how much the message, it was given to just local lords.

Only in some cases, though, is there anyone who thinks it's the gospel. The Lord's face is also a little cramped. Okay, well, I guess I'll go with message time.

"Speech paths, such as capturing the girl you want and buying and selling her as a slave. The culprits and those who have been paid bribes are all guilty of the same crime. Take strict action. If there is a disposition leak, I will dispose of it myself..."

"What is it?

Tell the lord who asks, one scary story.

"Dear Celestine, it's a big mess, and I don't really care about every human being, you have to be someone I like a lot...

So, when Master Celestine is told to 'dispose', that means petite crushing of a lord's mansion where one obnoxious criminal remains, or turning a whole fortified city where the roots of the kidnapping organization remain into a sea of fire... "

"Nah............"

Lord, pale.

Soldiers and crowds around them are even paler.

"How much..."

Lords leaking mysterious voices like construction sites. Maybe you're trying to say "how" or "why".

Can I reassure you a little?

"Don't worry about it. Because all you have to do is capture and punish the kidnappers, all of them, from the bottom end to the mastermind.

Yes, if we can capture one and never kidnap or trade in slaves again... "

"Right, but..."

Maybe you want to say, "But if there's a retrieval," maybe.

"If you tighten up the guys you captured and let them throw up where they were supposed to deliver us, the mastermind, and all the slaves you've sold so far, and you take the kids you bought and sold back to their parents, maybe you can spare me as much as overlooking the two unintentional lower ends. Maybe, but..."

It's the Goddess's orders, the royal palace I heard about will do everything in its power. There is no doubt that it is a lie. So many witnesses, but also merchants from other countries, and even more explosions and golden clouds would have been heard and seen by those all over the city.

And if the goddess, angry at the humans who ignored their lives, "punches" was directed not only at the lord's residence and territory here, but at this very country, which did not eradicate the kidnapping...

At the earliest (no longer), not if you're talking about power, connectivity, or bribery. It doesn't matter, there is no other way than to capture and punish all those involved in the kidnapping.

"And capture it! Capture all who are rolling there, and tie them up! Never let them get away with it, never let them hurt themselves, let them throw up everything! I will not tolerate failure......, no, I will not tolerate it!

Yeah, all the lives of the people, including myself, are at stake, so don't even get desperate, that's it.

Oh, I guess it's about time the array was activated.

"My lord, in fact, the goddess tells us about the murderers' azitos, or something, and they're going to show you there with red smoke. Maybe around the ghetto..."

Yes, I set it up before they took me out of that private house, a putting souvenir.

Um, after a certain amount of time, there was an immediate hypnotic gas, and then I kept the red smoke coming out a little bit. Lighter than the air.

So if it had gone well, with the killers asleep, there would be red smoke standing up from that private house that is Azit. Not very flashy, very thin smoke muscle, but you'll find it easy if you try to find it.

It's my first city, and I couldn't possibly have been shoved into a barrel and led into a carriage, and I set it up so I could find it later. Well, you could just let the captured killers throw up, but for once, they planted it just in case.

"... go!

"Ha!"

At the Lord's behest, a soldier, who seems to be a little higher in rank, took about half a dozen soldiers and hurried toward the city. Looking at it, I saw a group heading this way from the city on the other hand.

Those groups, led and approached by several soldiers, were accompanied by people who looked like civilians.

... Oh, I wonder if it's the missing persons, or the families of the victims' children.
