There were many prisons with iron bars in the very deliberately built cellars. Neighboring countries denounced Cypher’s deplorable slavery, but behind the scenes such trade was not uncommon.
The front and back are always different, the greed is always endless, and if there is a demand, the supply is somehow fulfilled.
“Go in!”
There were many other people held in prison besides them. There were not only Cyphers, but also Lisnet people, elves and dwarves.
“Wow, it’s bigger than I thought.”
Ariete’s face contorted.
“It is terrible.”
No matter what they applied, they had the same skin color, but people who quickly recognized that they were from a different country from their features made anxious faces.
Carrot, who was sitting on the floor, asked.
“Aisha, Myorina, are you there? huh? Can’t you see?”
“You won’t be so lucky. Let’s begin.”
“okay.”
Carrot jumped up from her seat, pulled a hood over her head to cover her face, and walked to the iron grate. Then he started to open it with force.
Hey hey hey!
Surprise spread across people’s faces.
Ariete, who found the words she had written on the slip of paper, spoke lowly.
“Munt!”
Quiet, everyone shut their mouths.
Deuk Deuk!
Carrot, who opened the grate and went outside, grabbed it again and closed it.
Intercepting?!
“Is there no jailer here? and! Elf! There are elves!”
Carrot, who ran to the dodo, saw an elf woman lying in a corner of the prison with her eyes closed. I opened my eyes, but there was no answer.
“I was given medicine. Otherwise, I will call the spirits.”
said the furry dwarf sitting across from him. He stood up and looked down at Carrot.
“Where and how did you come from? Are you here to save me?”
“of course.”
“no! He’s a jailer!”
A haggard dwarf in a prison a little far away grabbed the iron bars and screamed. The dwarf man, taller than he thought, waved his hand and said.
“That brother also took medicine and went out of his mind. bring me the key It’s at the end of the aisle over there.”
“Don’t be fooled! There’s no way such an ugly-looking guy could belong to our clan! Hey! If I get out of here, I will eat you!”
Carrot did not move even though they said they were right. Then, with a smile, he grabbed the iron bars and went inside.
Then it clung to the dwarf’s leg and started sniffing.
“Hmm, does it smell like a bad guy?”
The dwarf man’s face hardened and he swung and kicked Carrot’s leg. Carrot, clinging to the wall, laughed and kicked the wall.
“Actually, a guided interrogation!”
“damn!”
Puck puck puck!
There is no way that humans can defeat automatons with their bare hands. The strength to bend even the iron bars was formidable.
“Wow, you made ears and put them on? The makeup was done very well. He looks like a real dwarf.”
“No time!”
“Oh, okay!”
Carrot, who was examining the fallen man, hurriedly climbed up through the narrow ventilation shaft at Ariete’s urging.
It was a size that was impossible without a carrot.
Carrot, who went up to the first floor, quickly ran through the hallways and began to set fire to the Tinder scrolls he had obtained locally. Since it was cheap, Ariete’s money was sufficient.
“Tinder! Tinder! Tinder! wahahahahaha! Tinder!”
Magical embers don’t go out well. Thanks to this, the fire spread quickly. Even that was not enough, and an explosion occurred on the top floor.
After confirming that no one was there, Carrot even fired a fireball scroll.
Kukkang-!
A fire and an explosion broke out in the wooden building, which immediately started burning. People pouring out of the inn with their mouth shut.
“Fire! fire! Report it to the fire brigade!”
Passers-by flock to the scene. In the meantime, the innkeeper and employees had not yet come out.
They were busily moving the people they had held in the dungeon.
The prison doors of the smoke-filled cellar opened, and hooded men beckoned.
“wake up! wake up! Don’t breathe! Come out quickly!”
“godmother! Shall we take them all out?!”
“okay! Be especially careful with elves! Once the situation calms down, there are plenty of people to buy from! The dwarves might run amok, so give them a bludgeon and move them last!”
The people who were dragged out by rough hands got on the wagons waiting in the alley.
bang-! Bang!
An explosion occurred in the burning cabin. The innkeeper, furious, started cursing.
“Damn adventurers! What did you pile up in the room?!”
“It’s all out! Let’s go!”
“Let’s go!”
Three wagons started moving.
Carrot, who had been watching it through the burning window, smiled and turned around and began to collect valuables from the burning inn rooms in the name of finding those who had not yet escaped.
The smoke had no effect as he was not breathing, and the heat made a makeshift by spraying a canteen of water over his head.
Carrot’s eyes were shaped like gold coins as she rummaged through wardrobes and drawers to collect money and useful objects.
“Ook! Gold and silver treasure! Longsword! dagger! Armor! There are women’s underwear too!?”
Carrot, who looked around, put it on her head with a thrilling expression.
Then he ran to the mirror in the burning room and burst into laughter alone when he saw it.
“Ouch hahahahaha! A Phantom Thief Perverted Mask Appears! wahahahahaha! Let’s go like this! huh! I don’t want my identity revealed!”
The characteristics of an automaton that is heavily influenced by its owner were clearly revealed in Carrot. If that personality was given to him by his first owner, this salty vitality was learned from watching Crank.
“If you let it go, it will burn anyway! Isn’t it a waste?”
However, thanks to the ability to learn, it was gradually evolving into something unique.
Roaring!
Tud deuk… … !
“Oh! It’s time for a stop loss!”
Sensing that the building could no longer hold out against the raging flames, Carrot tore off a door and put it on his head to escape, then jumped up to the attic, where the roof had been destroyed by the explosion.
“Aw! Aww!”
After tearing off the fireball scroll and throwing it on the floor, holding a door on top of it and jumping in, it explodes and soars into the sky in an instant.
Kukkang-!
“Wahhahahaha!”
Carrot, clinging to the flying door, laughed excitedly. Items spilled from the backpack were rising together, but the little automaton was just busy laughing.
“exciting! Wahahahahaha!”
From noble mtl dot com
Firefighters who rushed to put out the fire stopped spraying water with a pump and were frightened by the debris falling with the explosion.
Coudangtang-!
“Did you stack the dwarven explosives?! Why do you keep blowing up!?”
“oh my god! Doors are flying in the sky! Everyone be careful! I’m going to die from shrapnel!”
Carrot, who soared high and landed lightly on the roof of a building across the street, started the next operation with a big backpack on his back and a big smile.
* * *
The carriage, which had been running for a long time along the main street of the village, headed toward a place where people were less and less frequent.
The innkeeper, the godmother, felt that the surrounding scenery was strange.
“Hey! Isn’t this the way?”
The man in the driver’s seat turned around with cold eyes.
“Then where shall we go? Where do I have to go?”
“As usual, to the building on Third Street… … .”
Feeling strange, the godmother put on a startled expression.
Suddenly the carriage stopped.
Iron Cruc-! Iron Cruc!
The faces of the captives were colored with hope and the captives darkened with despair whenever they heard the sound of armor scraping outside the tent-roofed carts.
Chow-!
The tent at the back door of the carriage was roughly cleared, revealing a black knight whose armor was covered in ashes.
Shion, who received the 3rd repair work, was able to protect the head and face of the wearer by making a variable helmet and mask when necessary, but now thanks to the helmet, the trouble of covering the face was saved.
Dark Knight Shion, who received Ariete’s will, spoke.
“Let’s hear the details. Get off.”
The slave trader’s godmother, who was dragged outside, saw men tied to ropes and people with drawn swords around them.
Only 4 people?!
“Stupid things! How much money did you spend, and you finally fell victim to these guys!”
The seven subordinates lowered their heads and did not answer.
“Oh, there was an automaton… … !”
It was too pathetic to call it an excuse.
“We have automatons too! What happened to him?!”
“You mean this guy?”
Where Boris pointed, a broken doll was loaded into a carriage.
“thank god. Because our kid fights better.”
Lotte, who had a sack over her head to cover the pretty mask that Crank had worked on, guarded the men with a sword, and then slightly turned her head.
Angry, the godmother began to curse loudly. Annoyed by hearing this, the black knight drew his sword and thrust it into his face.
Contrary to what he looked like, he used an honorific title, but I was afraid that it seemed more disorienting.
“Just do that. Shall we hear another story?”
The Black Knight was about to start the interrogation, but the godmother surprisingly obeyed and laid out information about the remaining buildings of the remnants.
“Auntie, isn’t it too easy to tell?”
The godmother showed her hand. They had no pinkies, so they only had four fingers on each side.
“Do you think I’ve been through this once or twice?”
Geo, who had a bitter expression on his face, said.
“Are you still doing this? Aren’t you ashamed?”
“joy! Ridiculous things, when your conscience starts to grow hair, money-making is everywhere.”
Boris shook his head.
“Then I can’t help but think about the possibility that it’s false information.”
“hehehe! Of course, what I said is true. It’s up to you guys to judge that. Now, what are you going to do?”
Her gaze, which had been looking at the laughing godmother with cold eyes, turned to the black knight. He said while examining the people in the carriage and the surroundings.
“Perhaps it is. But there’s no way I haven’t prepared for something like that.”
The godmother made an interesting expression. The Black Knight continued.
“A lot of time has passed. It’s still inside the walls. Escape is urgent.”
The black knight turned his head and looked at the dwarf poking his head out of the back door of the carriage.
“We need more escorts. Can you guys pick up an axe?”
“I’ll help if you let me split them with my hands.”
Pointing to the godmother and the captive subordinates, the dwarf with a devastated face answered with a hoarse voice. The black knight took off a small bag from his waist and threw it.
“Heal your comrades.”
It contained a blue health potion and a red healing potion. It is made in Gorgon.
The dwarves, whose muscles returned to their original state in an instant, got off the wagon with their eyes emitting light. There were three in all, and there were two more elves besides them.
Puck puck puck!
They immediately minced one of the people tied to the rope into a piece of meat. Blood splattered everywhere, but it didn’t stop.
Rather, the black knight encouraged everyone to come out and watch.
“Look at the words of those who treated you as cattle. Must see. Even you have to tell yourself sometimes. The obvious fact that if you stray from the way of man, you will be punished.”
he kept talking.
“The statement that violence cannot be tolerated under any circumstances is, in fact, just a word on the lips of villains who want to deceive the weak. There is no future for a nation that has forgotten the brutal history of human struggle.”
Iron Cruc-!
The black knight raised his fist made of steel gloves and said with flashing red eyes.
“Only merciless blood, violence, destruction and terror can save you in the end from the hands of rogue villains.”
