Ardis, who broke up with the Phillias after the Slave City, was alone collecting rumors of the town.
While walking down the prominent streets of empty stores, he listens insignificantly in dewstores that would be fewer than usual, nodding his ears at the conversations of people on the road.
So what I found out was that the Sitz Chamber of Commerce, which was bringing people in earlier, had a hell of a bad reputation.
Gorillas self-dominant contracts with falsification of hesitation statements, without exercising strength under water to discredit competitors, defrauding the interests of counterparties in negotiations for blackmail, and squishing to the point of bone if they see their position as weak.
Of the ten slaves taken to the Chamber of Commerce, one and two "disappear without being taken out of the Chamber" also seems to be a famous story among fellow merchants.
Eyebrow Saliva The black rumors weren't ten or twenty places, including stories about hearing frightening beasts from the night chamber of commerce grounds. There are also stories of people lying or selling off illegally by capturing refugees fleeing the surrounding villages.
Dust "Instead, isn't it muddy? Why is this left behind..."
I thought you were definitely cementing that position by your adhesion with the lord, and apparently you're not.
"The mole was originally trying to move on. It's this civil war on the arrow that really tried to move to gather evidence. Try being a king's lord, and you won't be in a situation where you're blaming the chamber of commerce for evil. Anyway, this territory is surrounded by the Corpus Marquis."
That's what I got from an informer in a liquor store that's been open since daylight.
If that's the case, Ardis decides to put in an exploration.
It's not like I didn't feel anything when I saw that sight with Ardis.
But I'm not so engulfed with justice as to save them until I drop myself into criminals.
If Phyllia hadn't accompanied him, he would have kept it bare, though bitterly.
But not if the other person is a bad guy dyeing his hands at illegal activity.
It is also convenient that the lord originally had his eyes on it.
Nothing. You don't have to let Aldis himself drive the entire Chamber of Commerce into ruin, you just have to give the lords and policing soldiers the incentive to intervene.
"Well, let's get this over with"
Aldis is now boarding the Saitz Chamber of Commerce.
There is no magic barrier or trap.
Aldis didn't know how easy it was to sneak in, but he did. If you descend from far above to the rooftop, you won't have to disappear, and you can easily step into the back of the building as you walk along confirming your magical reaction.
"This kind of thing has a market in the basement..."
Many reactions catch on to Ardis' magic exploration.
Though it seems that only a large chamber of commerce exists and there are many employees, I saw a number of solo magic reactions when I was working on paperwork in a private room of the building, and there were quite a few human reactions that were moving more busily than that.
Among other things, there is one weak little magic in the basement of the largest building on the property.
In contrast to that, I first find one great magic that is definitely not human.
"... this is a lot out of place again. The smaller one... the bug breath."
The weak magic is so small that it seems to disappear now.
Remembering the catch, Aldis decided to check on you first.
Proceeding cautiously not to encounter employees walking in the building, when they reach a studio-like place colored by lavish decorations, they find a staircase down to the basement that was hidden in the room following the door.
"Here."
What I arrived at was a place with a small cell lined up on one side of the aisle.
The smell of dark blood and faecal urine followed Aldis' nose.
The total number of cells is four.
Each contained a human with his hands and feet chained to the wall.
Ardis approaches the only cell in which he has a magical reaction.
It was a boy not yet connected by a year-end chain. Elongated and red-burned skin applied in the mole. A stubborn mass of blood covered his entire body and he doesn't even know what color his original skin was.
"Bad chest"
An outrage lingers in Ardis' black eyes.
Easily chopping off the iron lattice of the portal cell with a "" called from "" steps into the cell. You noticed the sign, the boy's body reacted pickly.
Ardis swung his sword as he approached without a problem.
Break the chain that had the boy's arms fixed to the wall.
"Ugh..."
Whether he was no longer in pain or paralyzed, or had no strength to scream, he only gave a small groan and the boy collapsed.
"Just hold on a little longer."
Delivering a word to that ear that he didn't even know he could hear, Ardis lays it on the floor when he takes off the hooded robe he was putting the boy to sleep there.
"It'll be a little better"
When I floated around creating some flames with magic in my chilly cell, I felt somewhat like the temperature in the room had increased.
Then when you take the luxury cure out of your hip pouch, you wake the boy's upper body.
"Can you drink?
Unsealing the bottle mouth of the cure onto the boy's mouth, his lips moved slightly.
When the elephant damp boy's lips grinned faintly, the magic reaction in front of him disappeared.
High-end therapeutics have the power to restore dying humans as well.
But that doesn't always work either.
I don't carry Ardis with me enough to wiggle across the wounded boy's body without swallowing gaps, and I wouldn't be able to take it in from the inside if it was so debilitating that I could barely do it.
One more day earlier, I might not have let him die.
But there's no point in making that assumption now.
I guess the premium treatments in my mouth worked halfway through.
The numerous wounds that had been engraved on the boy's body disappeared by about half.
"…………… good night"
Slowly putting the boy's body to sleep again, Ardis rises.
He closed his eyes for a while and stood up, eventually opening his mouth at the same time as opening his eyes.
"Don't be shy, there's no fine dust."
Its voice, proclaimed chilly in one cell, is flat yet sharp everywhere.
In an effort to hit the emotions beyond his reach, Ardis follows his cell further into the back of the aisle.
Because unsafe magic reactions lie ahead of us all in a secure town.
At the end of the aisle, there was one metal door built far more sturdy than an iron lattice.
It's a double open door that's three meters wide.
Strong magic can definitely be felt from up ahead.
When Ardis knocked off the lock of the metal door with Aotearoa Colorful in his hand, he opened the door forcefully as it was and stepped into the room.
"Giggly!"
At that moment, the liquid that gained momentum toward Ardis' head flies.
But Ardis, who was vigilant, gently turns it away, and the second wave that follows is also prevented by magic barriers.
Yellow Springs Roaches "? How could you do this?
Inside the room was Yellow Springs Roaches, a demon that also inhabited the Canobis Mountains.
Skinny colors reminiscent of old bamboo kamakiri are equipped with the power to the point of brutality, and most mercenaries say it is reckless to stand up to them. It won't be easy, such as capturing such demons and bringing them to town.
But the question will soon be resolved.
"Yikes!"
The yellow springs roaches' feet unnaturally stopped trying to strike Ardis, while the tall metal noise echoed into the room.
"Shackles?"
A metal shackle attached to the feet of the yellow springs roaches entered the eyes of Aldis.
If you observe carefully while preventing an attack, the shackled ring that binds both of its feet is just compressing the thin yellow springs roaches' feet and eating them up so much that the shape of the outer skin deforms.
They don't come in sizes.
Seeing that, Ardis understood.
"You brought me among the toddlers"
Certainly a newborn juvenile would be more likely to be able to capture it.
Of course that still doesn't turn out to be dangerous, but it's more realistic than capturing adult demons.
The shackles would no longer fit as they grew, and as a result they would have fallen into a state of eating into the outer skin.
Naturally, there is no such thing as demonic restraint at a strength of about heavy iron.
But the shackles attached to the feet of the yellow springs roaches and the chains that follow from them were slightly reddish, unlike common metals.
seven-colored powder "I didn't know you were mixing it in, it was a lot of excitement"
The seven-color powder is the powder of the rare gem 'Lecia' whose refining technique has been lost.
During metalworking, the strength can be dramatically increased if refined with magic, so a restraint made with seven-color powder would be sufficiently common for demonic opponents.
The three bottles of "" "and" "held by Aotearoa Colorful Aldis are also rare swords made from seven-colored powder. It is also known that the seven-color powder itself is now traded for a high enough price to turn an eye because of the rare material that cannot be purified.
No one should think that there are people who use such seven-colored powder in their restraints.
"What's the matter..."
Ardis conceives of yellow springs roaches flying liquids while preventing them with barriers.
If you reveal the existence of the Yellow Springs roaches, the Cyts Chamber of Commerce will definitely be over.
Bringing living demons all over town is a felony.
The treatment of illegal persons is also a felony, but it is more serious than that.
But the question was how to convey this fact to the lord.
There's no way a lord would believe a mercenary on a journey who has no faculty or anything to complain about.
Now Aldis is like a questioner.
It may be one hand that Ardis himself will be slammed here, but if possible, it would be better to make sure that many people are informed of the existence of the demons to bury the Sitz Chamber of Commerce.
It is then.
I could hear multiple footsteps running down the aisle in Ardis' ear thinking ahead of the Yellow Springs roaches.
"Well, if it's so rampant, they'll notice."
It's not like Yellow Springs Roaches grow up where Ardis stood still.
Thanks to Yellow Springs Roaches, who are bound by shackles but still rampaging around, apparently they have been noticed by the people of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Giggly!"
Yellow Springs roaches burst out so hard that you got more excited about rushing footsteps.
"Oh, come on, be nice"
I can't help it if Ardis makes a bitter face.
Yellow Springs Roaches were gaining momentum with their own feet about to break a thousand times.
A crack enters the perimeter of the shackles eating into my legs.
It is not the shackles that contain the crack, but the feet of the yellow springs roaches.
I guess the Yellow Springs roach instinct surpasses the pain of shredding its body.
"What! What's going on!?
"Who are you!?
Five armed men came there.
Naturally, Ardis, a suspicious man, would be a more wary opponent than a demon who knew he existed if you took it to them.
When the inlet of the room is enclosed in a semi-circular fashion from the outside to draw the sword, he watches Aldis' movements without alarm.
"Giggy!"
That's when.
The feet of the yellow springs roaches were cut a thousand times with the offensive sound of zurli, and their feet were released from the shackles.
Yellow Springs Roaches are hit by the nearest Ardis, but when they are held back by that powerful barrier, they immediately change direction and change their spearhead to the entrance to the room.
"Ugh, wow!
An instantly armed man was mowed of his neck with a yellow spring roach cama.
"Hi-no!
Yet another rips his chest open and falls, but the other three could barely pick up his life.
Yellow Springs Roaches ignored Ardis and them because they flew away at low altitude in the aisle.
"That's not good..."
You can't just leave the yellow springs roaches free like that.
No matter how lousy the Cyts Chamber of Commerce was in business, not all the humans belonging to the Chamber of Commerce are bad guys.
Apart from people like management and these men who know what's going on behind them and who still work together, some of the employees at the end of the spectrum and those who work under them know nothing.
I'm going to ask the Sitz Chamber of Commerce to pay for the evil, but that's why I didn't mean to tell individual employees to give their lives.
Ardis rushed out after the magical reaction of Yellow Springs Roaches as he slid by the sides of the men who stood up shaking their feet.
