Legend

"Here it is."

An alchemist near Ilnara looks at the door at the end of the aisle and says so.

The building owned by the Dolan Workshop was quite large.

Given the fact that we manufacture golems, maybe that's also natural.

Still, after the first encounter with the guards involved in Ilnara, it was lucky to be able to get here without any particular problems.

Of course, if you don't see any other guards until you get here, the answer is no.

However, against the backdrop of the first guards involved, the other guards did not make any particular noise when they encountered Ilnara and the others who took Ray and Lindy.

It was only natural that he didn't want to go out of his way to make contact with the unmainstream Ilnaras.

To Ilnara and the others, the attitude of the guards is by no means interesting.

It's not interesting, but given our current situation, there was no doubt that it would be helpful to have someone who didn't come into contact with us that way.

In that sense, I came to the residence of the slaves who owned this place without any particular problems... at the Dolan Workshop.

"What a surprise. I knew slaves weren't in this lab, but there were some kind of dwelling out there."

"That's what I thought at first.It must be interesting for slaves to house this lab.However... it seems that when there was an urgent requirement at night, it was troublesome to go outside to call for a slave, so it became like this. "

Ray was convinced of the explanation.

Perceptually, it is not that troublesome to go to call if you are in the same building, but it is obviously troublesome to go to another building once you are out.

Above all, once you get out of the building, you'll struggle on sunny days such as snow, rain, and strong winds.

In that regard, if you have a place for the slaves in the same building, you can come here without any problems even in such bad weather.

(If it's a communicator or something, it's different, but... pairs of orbs, it's not that easy to get.)

The pair of orbs Ray also has are quite valuable magic items.

If it were available at the Dolan Workshop, it would not be used to communicate with slaves, but would be used for more meaningful purposes.

Okay, let's go inside.

Ray nodded at Ilnara's words, and Lindy nodded as well.

It is unlikely that Anne or Goliath will be here.

Even if you understand that, you probably think...

Ilnara also understands how Lindy looks. Take a deep breath and open the door.

"Heh...."

That was the word that came out of Ray's mouth when he saw the other side of the door.

I heard it was where the slaves lived, so I thought maybe it was a dirtier place.

However, it doesn't look so dirty.

Of course, it's a bit dirtier than the place I've been walking to, but if you still think of it as the place where the slaves live, you could say it's a much better place than Ray imagined.

One of the alchemists opens his mouth when he sees Ray like that.

Surprised?

"Oh, I was honestly surprised at this.I thought the living conditions were worse. "

"Normally, I think so.But this... is Ilnara-san's suggestion.But it's still before we became outcasts. "

"Ilnara's?"

When she looked at the words, Ilnara opened her mouth, showing a little trouble.

"When it comes to slaves, they are alive and have hearts.That being said, if the living environment gets worse, of course, but I am willing to work... there is no doubt that the kind of motivation will disappear.That's why we need to do it to motivate our slaves. "

Ilnara's explanation was convincing to Ray.

Nevertheless, not everyone can do it.

Particularly significant is the fact that such imitation naturally entails costs.

Many people think so much money can be spent on the living environment of slaves.

Otherwise, those who use slaves to operate mines basically think that they are disposable from the harsh working environment, and if they have money to set up the living environment of slaves, they will buy many slaves.

Even if it doesn't go that far, there are quite a few who think that slavery is a user crusher.

In that sense, the treatment of Dolan Workshop slaves would be disrespectful.

Of course, some of the slaves are more generous than those in the Dolan Workshop.

Specifically, buying a slave who fell in love at first sight, or laying someone dead on a slave.

In fact, some of the books Ray had read in the library had been bought by merchants as slaves, and they saw their talents, freed them from slavery, worked as disciples of merchants, and eventually succeeded merchants and became big merchants...

Everything more than what is written in the book is not true, and there are places where it seems to be written in great magnitude.

Ilnara-sama!? What's wrong!?

As he enters the place where the slaves live, a man in his twenties looks at Ilnara and utters such a voice.

And when I heard the voice of the man's slaves, the other slaves also came out of the room.

Such slaves have a strong colour of respect in their gaze.

(Well, naturally, Ilnara makes life comfortable.)

Although a comfortable life, it is only a comfortable life as a slave.

In fact, from Ray's perspective, it looks like there are quite a few people living in a small room.

But... even in such a situation... no, that's why I'm so grateful to Ilnara.

"I have a little business.Actually, I'd like to ask you one more person named Anne.... "

Mr. Goliath.

Lindy told Ilnara immediately.

Ilnara nodded at Lindy's words and continued to speak against the slaves.

"Yes, Mr. Goliath, are there two of those names here?"

You're not here.

A man who doesn't seem to think and answers immediately.

Although Lindy looks at such a man as dissatisfied, it is not strange for slaves to know each other's names as a matter of course.

That being the case, it is no strange thing to ask a name and answer immediately when there is no such person.

Really?

Ilnara looks sad at the man's words.

Midnight I expected that Dolan Workshop might not be here just for those who had been enslaved by illegal means.

As I expected, that was still not the answer I had hoped for for Ilnara.

Being here means Anne is still a slave... and Goliath is in a place where only the mainstream can go.

This means you have to believe many of the words that came out of Ray's mouth.

"Ilnara-san....."

One of the alchemists calls out to Ilnara.

Because you know how much Ilnara has worked for the Dolan Workshop.

"Let's go."

Ilnara seemed to think so, but if she wasn't here, she'd go to the next place... where Ilnara would never want to admit it, and she'd just have to go where she didn't want to go and tell her.

Um, Ilnara-sama?

If you think that Ilnara, who is supposed to be your benefactor, has come to the slave's house, you are suddenly about to leave, so it's only natural that you don't understand the meaning.

"If anything, was it Anne and Goliath earlier?I'll help you find them. "

"No, you better stay out of this.Tomorrow is busy... and you'll definitely be busy, so rest while you still can. "

Tomorrow, it would definitely have been busy cleaning up the room Ray had destroyed or cleaning up what would happen next, including that.

That being the case, it was only natural to think that we should rest as long as possible now.

However.....

"If anything happens tonight, get all the slaves out of the building immediately.Fortunately, it's not too cold to freeze to death right now. "

If Ray had gone mad, the building would never have been the same.

There is also a good chance that the building will not be destroyed by successfully achieving its objectives before it breaks out.

I didn't know what was going to happen, but Ilnara could only say that to the slaves.

I wonder what's going to happen to the slaves I was told about, and I'm worried.

"Er... what the hell is that..."

"Sorry, we have to hurry now.Listen, if anything happens, I'll be right outside.Never forget that. "

So Ilnara leaves the slave's house.

Ray and the others chased after him... after all, the slaves who remained on the spot were prepared to leave the building as soon as something happened, according to Ilnara.

Fortunately, exiting the building is not restricted by the collar of a slave.

Separate orders were required to exit the premises.

Apart from what should be called the main building of this Dolan workshop, where there are currently slaves, there are several separate buildings, including a warehouse.

It was only natural that the slaves should go to the building during the day.

If you really don't want to let the slaves go, you just have to make sure that they have permission every time around them... but it's a hassle to decide, and the slaves are given some freedom.

This area also owes a lot to Ilnara's struggle.

"In the meantime, if you obey Ilnara-sama's words, there will be no mistake."

That said, the slaves decided to sleep until there was some disturbance.

Ha.

As he leaves the slave home and heads towards a compartment used only by the mainstream, Ilnara's mouth sighs.

We all know, of course, why such a sigh is coming out.

Just because I admired Dolan's workshop and came in like this, I couldn't believe what was happening right now... no, you didn't want to believe it.

However, there was no Anne or Goliath there, even if she went to the slave house with her last hope.

In other words, whether or not the Dolan Workshop uses people as materials to make golem, there is no doubt that it is doing something backward.

"Ilnara-san, cheer up!Whatever Dolan Workshop is doing, it's huge that we found out about it.If we solve this case, it will be judged to be self-cleaning and perhaps we can rebuild the Dolan Workshop. "

"That's...."

It's a dream story.

I tried to say that, but even the alchemist who said he could fix it didn't think about how much he could say.

Though the story may be different when you think about the whole city of Egginis, if you think about it as a workshop, there will be a lot of people trying to crush the existence of Dolan Workshop, which suddenly began to make golem with a prominent technology.

The pile that comes out is struck.

And the Dolan Workshop was a pile like no other alchemist.

With that in mind, it is difficult to see if Dolan Workshop really survives this disturbance.

"Ah, Ilnara, the guards are coming from over there."

Instead of encouraging Ilnara, another alchemist glances slightly at a few guards who appear from the other side.

It is obviously suspicious that Ilnara and the others are in such a place, as they are already in a compartment used only by the mainstream.

The first place I encountered the guards was where Ilnara and the others were still using it.

The guards looked strangely at Ilnara when they found them.

Still, it was a strange gaze, not an eye to see the enemy, because I didn't think that Irnara and the non-mainstream alchemists would imitate turning against the mainstream alchemists.

That's why I tried to ask you in a strange way.....

As Ray, I can't afford to show such mercy.

Ray, who decided it was a game of time from here, attacked the alarmed guards.
