He was a reliever who remained slightly dissatisfied, but I guess he still wonders about those who acted to move through the woods rather than the streets.
In the woods with Ray...... the carriage comes to the place where it was rolled over.
But Lew deeply regrets his actions like that.
I should have waited outside the woods, anyway.
So much so that I truly think so.
That's not just about Relieu. I came back this far with Lelew, as did Ray and Seto.
... The figure of the Yellow who came here with Elaine is no longer here.
Seeing Marina looking grumpy on the side of the carriage, that was natural, too.
And why Marina is so grumpy would be obvious if you look at the nearly ten women near the carriage.
If you see them shackled and shackled and unable to move freely, it is clear for what reason they were in the carriage.
No, if that were all, Marina would have been grumpy too, but she wouldn't have been grumpy with all the rage so far.
The biggest reason it happened...... after being shackled like any other woman, it would be a dark elf woman with obviously beaten marks on her face, hands and feet and unconscious.
Seeing my fellow dark elves in this kind of sight, there's no way the emotional marina would think anything of it.
Naturally, the marina could not have left her injured compatriot intact, using the Spirit Magic of Water to recover.
Having seen such a marina, Ray is quite ranked from Mystering...... in other words, takes out a highly healing potion.
This potion was given to me by the Magic Items Store as a thank you for the special potion I brought home from Thormis yesterday.
As a thank you for bringing a special potion, I promised to give it away from some of the magic items in the store, if not quite expensive... but there was nothing in the Goltz magic item store that I would particularly like Ray to do.
As a result, I've gotten some relatively high ranking potions that won't hurt if I keep them for now... that's the form I played quickly.
Most importantly, the potion is quite secure for when Ray is also in trouble, so I wouldn't have been particularly troubled if it hadn't been for Saumis potion.
"Marina, use this"
"... thanks"
When you receive a potion with a look like you pushed your anger to death, unlike your usual marina, you use it for dark elves.
"Nevertheless..."
It was Ray watching such a marina, but quite a few reliws turn their gaze to you with the words they utter.
Is Lelew realizing he's being turned around like that, or isn't he... Anyway, he kept on saying the words as he looked at the carriage.
"Now it's clear why this carriage was moving places in the woods, not in the streets. Ray said there was either a translation or a dark spot behind it, but by the time it was brilliant, it was the latter."
"Uh... right. Definitely an illegal slave trader."
Ray tells Lew to agree, although he didn't get on with the idea.
Slave traders are, naturally, those who buy and sell slaves.
However, there are several types of slaves.
A slave sold for money, a slave who sold himself for debt... and the most familiar, criminal slave to Ray.
The most familiar does not mean that Ray is buying criminal slaves, but defeated them like this one... No, I am familiar with selling bandits who are still survivors of the hunted bandits as slaves.
Anyway, there are a few other kinds of slaves... in which it is naturally illegal to enslave the opponent who took them by force.
And it was those who were taken away by such illegal means that the marinas were packed in the carriage they opened.
Naturally, if you can find yourself doing that, the slave traders will also be punished fairly heavily.
I guess that's why this slave trader was traveling through the woods, not the streets that were easily visible to humans.
This result was deserved because the bandits were supposed to see it as a result.
"In the meantime, I'll take care of the people here. I'm gonna ask the bandits what's going on."
If he doesn't want to be on the side of the grumpy marina, Ray heads toward the bandits tied with rope.
Seeing Ray like that, the bandits try to be strong... but seeing Seto next to Ray can't possibly imitate him like that.
Especially since the bandits were beaten by Ray, it would be natural to turn their gaze of terror towards Ray.
"Well, let's start with what to ask...... right, let's name it for once. I know some of you already know because I have Seto, but I'm Ray. Deep red is called by an alias... is it easier for you guys to understand bandit eating?
"Huh!?
To Ray's words, bandits other than those who had already imagined who he was because he had Seto, dye his face in a stunning color.
And when he makes sure the stunner turns into despair, Ray mouths the question, as usual.
"So, where's your Azito? And how many are left there?
"... if you don't say that, what are you going to do? Kill him?
"Right. Can I do that?"
The man who asked Ray, I guess, was going to negotiate.
If we kill ourselves, we will not be able to sell them as slaves. I was wondering if that was okay.
In fact, if you capture a bandit and sell him as a slave, it's definitely going to be a lot of money.
That was the word because I knew it... I never thought the word would come out to kill lightly, neither the bandits I heard, nor the bandits around me.
If it's a word to kill, that's what bandits normally use.
But that mostly has a strong threat connotation. Most of them don't hesitate around.
Either way, the word "kill" Ray spoke of is not a threat or anything. Really, it was a word in a literal sense.
Not to mention that Ray, who speaks of it, has no hesitation whatsoever about the act of killing. That's the kind of attitude that we think our lives will be mowed as if we were mowing grass around.
"Wow, okay! I'll tell you! I'll tell you, help me!
The man who tried to negotiate tells Ray that instantly.
That's why I understood that Ray would kill me if I were to delay my reaction here at all.
Many other bandits must have learned from Ray's attitude. I scream when I follow Ray's words like I panicked.
... some of them weren't that sharp and wondered why the others would follow Ray lightly.
But I just had the head to realize that there was no point in just saying what I said here, and if all the seniors I was looking after didn't have to and you were instructed to obey me with your eyes, I couldn't imitate turning it down.
"Right. Then let me hear it quickly."
That being said, Ray asks for information from the bandits about a place in Azit and those who remain there.
"Well, I'm gonna go to Azito for a bit, so can I leave this place to you?
"Ray, are you going alone? No, well, I don't think there's a problem."
Lew's words have faith in Ray's strength.
But at the same time, I'm pretty sure there's the thought that you don't know what's going to happen in a bandit's Asia.
Ray could understand the thought of Lew, so I'll just say that there's no problem for now, and I'll go after the scene with Seto.
Fortunately, the Azit place I heard from the bandits seems to be not that far from here, so that's definitely what you'll arrive at as soon as you travel on Ceto.
"I was talking about a mountain on the other side of the woods and a cave right into that mountain... where?
"Grrrrrrrr?...... Grrrrrrrr"
Seto also looks down on the ground at Ray's words, but there are many places hidden by leaves and evergreen trees that are leafy, unable to find the cave he heard from the bandits.
Most of all, I didn't even think the bandits had spouted lies in that state, and it was obvious that the trees would simply be covering and hiding the ground.
(You've been hiding it for a long time. I mean, he came around here a few days ago, but by chance, he found a pretty good safe house)
I don't think the bandits out around here care that much about surveillance from above.
I mean, that would be something like whether the trees that are growing by chance cover the entrance to the cave, or a cave that is purely harder to find from above.
"I can't help it. Then give up looking from the top and look while walking in the mountains"
"Gru?"
Are you okay? And a throaty ceto.
That's why I was so worried it would take me a while to find the cave and it would be too late to get back to where the carriage was lying.
But Ray gently strokes Seto, who stares at himself with his circular eyes, not to worry him.
"I can't find it, so I can't help it. Plus, I need to hear about healing those women who were caught and where they came from. And there's this dark elf thing."
Ray doesn't even know what he thinks and hurts Dark Elves that far.
I thought I might not be able to use spiritual magic, but just because I was hurt doesn't mean I won't be able to use spiritual magic.
What could be considered to happen is that slave traders simply hated dark elves...
Whatever the reason, it's definitely not funny for the same dark elf marina.
Originally neither the elves nor the dark elves are ever numerous in number.
That's why we have a fairly strong sense of companionship with our countrymen.
Thinking about the marina, Ray goes down to the ground with Seto and into the mountains.
That's enough to look for.
"Gru!"
Seto, who smelled people's odors, squealed his throat briefly.
Finally find the place you want.
Of course, I just smelled people's odors, and that's not necessarily where it's meant to be.
In some cases, the possibility of being a hunter who came to the mountains cannot be denied.
But... Still, given the possibilities in the current situation, it's likely the bandits that Seto sniffed out.
That's how I followed Seto... and eventually he arrived at the bandits' Azito as expected.
"... hey, this is... hey, I was expecting this, but I didn't expect this to happen"
Most of the bandits were paying to attack the illegal slave traders Ray and the others found earlier, and there are a few left... those were not as many bandits as those with arms.
I said I wouldn't kill you once you surrender so hard, but the bandits have chosen to resist... now, they expose their bodies outside the cave.
If I tried to lay it on, I could have either surrendered, to be honest, or resisted.
In the end, the bandits chose the latter, so it wasn't such a bad story for Ray that he was able to test the effects of multiple slaughter and corrosion in action, which Death Size had recently mastered.
That's how I killed a few bandits, caving in the treasure of the bandits, which is Azit... in which there was a familiar potion.
Special potion that should have been delivered to the Goltz Magic Items Store.
I guess that means it's here that this bandit group is the bandit Ray was looking for yesterday.
Ray feels indescribable when he says it's a bunch of bandits he couldn't find yesterday even if he was desperate, but I didn't know he could find it by chance like this today...
(Often, you can't find it when you're looking, but you can find it unexpectedly a few days after you stop looking... like that?
At the same time, I will store the treasures inside because it is a special potion.
Fortunately... I don't know how to say it, but there is no such thing as a prisoner in Azit.
Originally, did this bandits not imitate such, or simply move the place where they operate, so they didn't bring them in when they got in the way?
Ray didn't know the neighborhood either, but he was sure there wasn't anyone in Azito anyway.
Most importantly, there was hardly anything more valuable than a treasure, and there was no such thing as a magic item that Ray would be happy with.
Still, the food kind was quite good, and there were signs of some use of long swords and spears, but only a few.
There are lots of other boxes of cloth that I think we took from the merchants, various small items, whether we wanted to use them ourselves or not, dishes and dishes, and we found jewellery, gold coins and silver coins… in the end, it turned out to be quite a satisfying harvest.
