Legend

Anne was enslaved by a deal with a merchant.

It had enough shock to make Lindy's face strong.

Still, I didn't suddenly cry or scream because I knew there was no point in doing such imitation here.

That being the case, we should gather as much information as possible now.

Tell yourself that, and keep your mouth shut as you prepare to be quiet no matter what.

"So... Camilla.Did you come to see me because Anne might be enslaved?

"Yeah, I got a letter from Lindy's sister a while ago, a lot of stuff."

I see.

Ray understands why Camilla came to this inn.

As far as Ray knew, of the adventurers from the orphanage, Goliath was supposed to be the one who was in Egginis and played the leading role.

However, the Goliath is currently missing and it would have been futile if Camilla had gone to see Goliath.

In that sense, the choice to come and see Lindy was by chance the best.

If I went to see Goliath, I probably didn't know where he was staying in the first place.

(Thinking so, Camilla arrived safely at Lindy's hotel.)

Even from the city where the orphanage was located to Egginis, it's not that easy for ordinary children.

At the same time, however, it is surprising that we have successfully arrived at Lindy's accommodation in a quasi-city called Exinis.

Anyway, if it's an inn on the front street, this is a cheap lodging... an inn on the back street, and the road isn't that easy to understand.

Besides, it's not as bad as the slums, but it's also bad security.

In some cases, they'll kill you before you arrive at the inn and sell you as a slave... that's not funny.

"So what about the merchant who enslaved Anne?

"It was Garby."

"Yes, I knew it...."

Lindy showed me something convincing for some reason.

"Lindy, what's Gerby?I don't remember hearing that. "

Ray, I don't remember the name Gerby.

That's why I asked who the hell Garby was, but Lindy opened her mouth to such a ray.

"Didn't I tell Ray?I'm the representative of the Chamber of Commerce who donated money to the orphanage. "

That's what Ray remembers.

I've heard that before.

However, at that time, I didn't remember hearing the rumors of slavery when the representative of the Chamber of Commerce became a different person and the amount of donations decreased.

That's why he's the new representative.

"Yes, unfortunately.... Anyway, Anne-san... she was in trouble with the money, but she wasn't in trouble until she sold herself as a slave.What the hell do you think this is about?

It was Lindy who asked Ray calmly, but his palm was tightly gripped and his skin was still torn and blood was likely to flow.

Because you know there's no point in breaking out here.

(Nevertheless, I'm worried about Goliath... and that's not all, it's an orphanage here.One of the orphanages...?No, I don't. No matter how much it is, you don't have to try to imitate it.)

At this time, Ray thought of Dolan Workshop.

If Dolan Workshop is involved in the disappearance of Goliath... I mean, isn't it strange to look at the individuals Goliath grew up in?and.

But immediately reject it.

Dolan Workshop is still convinced that Goliath was kidnapped.

Considering that bandits are collecting it as a material somehow, perhaps it would be better for someone to train quite a bit.

But I understand that, but why does Anne come out there?

Ray sees that Anne is nothing but a normal woman.

Although children admire it and treat it without fear even in their first encounter, if they are told that it still has a material that can be used as a golem material, they will instantly shake their necks sideways.

Of course, since Ray had only been with Anne for a short time, I can never deny that Ray had some talent that she didn't notice.

(Yeah, you're thinking too much.)

It was Ray who wondered because the timing was too right, but he immediately switched his head and then opened his mouth.

"Anne was simply in good shape.It's more likely that you thought you could sell as a slave.

"That's...."

Lindy expresses disgust in the words out of Ray's mouth.

Nevertheless, the disgust was not directed at Ray, but against a girl named Gilby who enslaved Anne because she could sell her as a woman at a high price.

In fact, there's no doubt that what Ray said was the biggest reason he was enslaved.

No doubt... that's why, if you ask me if that's acceptable, it's another story.

"Anne-chan, is there nothing you can do?

Camilla, who was listening to Ray and Lindy's conversation, looked scared... and asked with despair in her eyes.

Camilla came to Egginis thinking she could help Anne if she told Lindy what was going on.

Given the danger, I can only imagine that it was lucky that I was able to reach Egginis with five bodies satisfied.

Camilla also fully understands that she was lucky enough to make it to Egginis.

That's why I thought Lindy could handle it.

For her child Camilla, Lindy thought she could do anything, doing well as an adventurer in a place like Egginis.

... Camilla thought that way because Ray, whom we met a little while ago, showed great strength as an adventurer.

Ray was amazing, so was Lindy, the same adventurer.

And because it's amazing, it helps Anne, who has been enslaved.

I suppose you simply thought so.

... if I found out that she was with Ray, Lindy would shake her head sideways with her face bluished.

As an adventurer, Lindy also has a moderate strength.

However, it is not far from being a Rank B Adventurer, let alone compared to the Ray of the anonymous Rank A Adventurer.

It wasn't strange to think that way.

Fortunately, Lindy doesn't realize what she thinks of Camilla.

"Anyway, I knew Anne had been enslaved.That doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about it... but just so you know, it's not illegal slavery, is it?

"As far as Camilla's concerned, yes."

Lindy answers as she swallows her teeth.

Looking at the delicious cuisine spreading before your eyes.

Of course, cooking is not guilty, but I wanted to cure the frustration inside me even if I did such a imitation now.

"If this is illegal slavery, it's easy to deal with."

Formal slaves… Like debt slaves and criminal slaves, slavery is recognized in this world.

It was Ray who didn't think there was anything about it, but since it's not Japan, I don't think I should follow my country when I enter it, and I don't particularly care about that area.

... I don't care, I don't really deserve to say that to Ray as much as I sell it to the guards to capture the bandits and turn them into criminal slaves.

But what Ray is doing is not illegal or anything, it's in accordance with the law.

Some bandits still want to survive slavery rather than being killed by Ray, who attacked them.

In case... a hundred million is a possibility, but it's also unlikely that a good husband will buy it.

Most of them are used as mine slaves, as discards in wars and dungeons.

Regardless, Ray's behavior of catching bandits and selling them as criminal slaves is fine, but it's different when they become illegal slaves.

It's like forcibly taking people away and forcing them into servitude.

In such a case, it is a crime, in the name of illegal slavery.

If Anne was an illegal slave, it wouldn't be a problem if she attacked the slave merchant just like a bandit hunt... On the contrary, the guards thanked her, and in some cases she might get a gratuity.

Nevertheless, slavers who deal in illegal slavery are naturally aware that they are criminals.

That being the case, some of them are bribing the guards so that they don't get caught, and in some cases they may be in the upper echelons of the guards or even bribing the higher echelons.

In such a case, there was no such thing as being thanked for defeating a slaver who dealt with illegal slavery. On the contrary, it was more likely that he would be treated as a criminal if he attacked a regular slaver.

Regardless, it is not difficult to deal with a slaver who deals with illegal slaves in this way, but the story changes when this becomes a slaver with no artillery problems.

If you attack such a slave victory, it is because those who attack without asking questions become criminals.

In order not to do so, it was necessary to take Anne back by appropriate means.

"The quickest thing is to buy Anne, who became a slave, with money....."

"You can't have that kind of money."

That's what Lindy told me right away.

Ray understood the story well.

Lindy knew that she was sending most of the money she had earned on her client to the orphanage.

That's why I'm staying at a cheap place like that, even though I could have stayed at a better place.

Although the owner of the inn was never a bad person, he was a good looking after person, so maybe even if Lindy had a little more money, he wouldn't have moved out of the inn.

Anyway, Lindy can never afford to live.

Even if Lindy wanted to buy back Anne, there was a question of where to get the money.

"Even if I were to buy Anne, it would be pretty expensive."

Lindy looks painful in Ray's words.

As a person living in Egginis, I naturally often hear stories about slaves and understand that what Ray is saying is not a lie.

Essentially, slavery is expensive when you are young.

However, even though it is young, it is cheap for children.

Men and women in their midteens and early thirties are generally expensive.

It's only natural because both men and women are convenient when working at such a price.

Of course, if you have some kind of special skill, it will be more expensive.

In addition, the price changes depending on the appearance apart from these.

Especially if men and women were well dressed, the price would undoubtedly be overwhelmingly higher than ordinary slaves.

Beyond that, the fact that Anne is well dressed and still young can't help but be expensive.

It's not much, but it's not a price Lindy can buy back.

... No, given Lindy's nostalgia, it's a delicate question of whether even an old man or a child's slave can buy it.

However, Lindy's eyes were not desperate in such a situation.

Lindy certainly doesn't have any money.

However, Ray, who is currently sitting at the same table as Lindy, is a high-ranking adventurer with a different name.

Also, I don't have to worry about money because of my hobby of bandit hunting.

"Ray... will you help me buy Anne back?Of course, I'll definitely pay you back the money you owe me.So please. "

Lindy lowers her head to Ray.

Before Lindy does that, Ray thinks about what to do.

In fact, Lindy was never wrong.

Lindy's actions to ask Ray to help Anne out as soon as possible were reasonable.

Also, if we look at Ray, who has been acting with Lindy until now, I don't think she will imitate that Lindy will not return the money she owes.

After that, Ray eventually opened his mouth to Lindy, who lowered his head in this way.

"I don't know if I can buy Anne back, but finding Anne is my first priority.I don't know exactly how much Anne is sold. "

Lindy nodded at Ray's words, judging that it was okay.
