109. The princess thinks
There were two people and one prisoner in the iron cage I pointed to. Unlike those located elsewhere, they were seriously wounded.
Part of his body was amputated and he survived. Since I’m not very strong, there’s a good chance it’ll be pretty cheap.
Actually, that was a big reason. Also, compared to the cry of those in the other cages, my gaze was drawn to the eyes that searched for me.
The old gentleman’s slightly startled eyes quickly filled with interest. With a strange smile, he began to persuade me.
“It won’t help much. The cost of treatment is also prohibitively expensive. As you can see, you’d be better off buying another slave.”
“… is that so?”
“Of course, there are combat slaves who were once knights, but they are not in usable condition because they have been dealt with so many times. That woman was once a wizard, but now she has no tongue, so she can’t even cast spells.”
more suitable I asked with a slight smile.
“Then can you make it cheaper? How many people can you take with this money?”
I held out the money that was about half of the gold pocket I had. The other half I had to keep just in case. First of all, I don’t know the price.
“It is the price of a slave for a lifetime, so the price itself is considerable. But in this state, up to three people can do it. oh If you buy healthy slaves, only one person can do it.”
Three are virtually all of the wounded slaves. I nodded, agreed and paid.
“But I have a question.”
“What is?”
The old gentleman rolled his eyes. I opened my mouth, feeling a cold sweat running down my back.
“Why are you selling them when you say that to me?”
He was selling those slaves while saying things like that he wouldn’t need them. Isn’t the front and back wrong?
In fact, it’s something I’m always concerned about. What kind of person is this old gentleman?
Are you a bad person simply selling slaves? But rather than being vicious for some reason, he just seems like a person who doesn’t know what’s inside.
“I only give recommendations to customers. The choice is yours. They too have a good owner. In a way, it is a product that is difficult to sell. In the first place, products that are more injured than them are already dead or not traded.”
“… … .”
The old gentleman frowned and chuckled. I quietly looked at the slaves I had chosen.
At the same time as my gaze, they flinched. There were those who were afraid, and there were those who looked at me terribly.
“We will take care of it soon.”
After checking the gold, the old gentleman proceeded to work immediately. The bizarre-looking magic circles endowed on their bodies shone ominously.
“Sir, it’s over, I’m your new owner from now on, so please take good care of me. If you do anything wrong, you will die immediately.”
Their mouths were bound, so they couldn’t answer in particular. You just look at me with strange eyes.
“Especially, he knows this capital well, so it will be helpful.”
Little Beast-in looking at me with his fox ears pricked. But his physical condition was also serious.
“The kid had his hand cut off and enslaved by theft. Well, there is no need to worry now.”
The old gentleman whispered to me in a low voice. I took a step after checking the condition of the slaves I had purchased.
“Now… .”
“yes. thank you Please use it next time. This is my gift.”
Just right.
The old gentleman snapped his finger, and the slaves I had bought immediately began to fall. The moment I panicked, I also fell asleep.
The last thing reflected in my eyes was the falling slaves. And it was the strange smile of an unknown old gentleman.
⁕⁕⁕
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was a spacious room. Luckily I was able to wake up before them.
Perhaps the ‘gift’ the old gentleman was talking about was referring to an inn where you can stay together for a day or so. It was difficult because it was late at night, but honestly, it worked out well.
Slowly, he looked at the condition of those who had fallen. I took all the muzzles off. Seeing it tremble, it will rise soon.
I have already heard a brief explanation from the old gentleman once. But just in case you didn’t know, I put it back together in my head.
A tall, ragged man, formerly a promising knight, became a combat slave after the fall of the family. Afterwards, he suffered serious injuries to his arms and legs.
A woman whose tongue was pulled out, she was a wizard of a certain kingdom, but for some reason her tongue was pulled out and she could no longer use magic.
A girl who is a fox beast, her wrist was amputated by theft. They are well aware of the location and information of buildings in the capital.
“Work, are you awake?”
As I checked their eyes open, I opened my mouth awkwardly. Except for the woman, the two remained silent even though they could speak.
“… Why did you buy us?”
Looking up at me sitting on the bed, the man asked me. His thick voice was full of weary fatigue and doubt.
The woman next to me looked up at me. But when I see that I wrap my arms around my body, am I worried that I will do anything?
“I’m sorry. I’ll do anything, save me. I won’t steal any more. It was because I was so hungry. please.”
The body of the fox-beast girl was shaking. I couldn’t even imagine what had happened to the trembling gesture.
Is this a total mess? However, if they were in their position, they would definitely be anxious. I had to talk to them first.
“Well. I’ll just be honest.”
Their pupils turned to me at my voice. If I hadn’t been in the position of being the ‘owner’, it was an expression that might have urged me to speak right away.
“I am not in this world for long. So when I finish what I want to do, I will set you free.”
‘Cause I’m the one to go back to Clear the dungeon quickly and go to the modern age. To save a piece of the world.
Roughly speaking, if you use the ‘light of purification’, their slave brand will disappear. Then they too will be free.
Would my sincerity come through? For some reason, I felt that their vigilance had faded and their gazes had become a little more harmful.
“… If so, what does the owner want to do?”
the man asked me However, it was the most wary attitude among them.
“We will defeat the Demon King.”
Everyone’s face is absurd when I say it. It was the same for a woman who could not speak.
“Hey, how with this body? If you have eyes, look at our condition. And even if it’s okay, it’s unreasonable. It would be more appropriate to use it as a meat shield.”
“you’re right. Lord, lord. That’s too reckless. That’s what the imperial family would do… .”
I smiled. Then he waved his hand at them and spat out words. A skill that is now a piece of cake.
“cure.”
A green light from their fingertips enveloped their bodies. The man’s entire injury recovered in an instant. The woman also touched her mouth with her hand as if she felt something.
Ai, the fox beast, also muttered while looking at her cleanly regenerated wrists. Seeing this, I put my finger to my lips and continued speaking.
“Keep this a secret. So, shall we go eat first?”
I’m hungry. I can’t take it anymore I had to eat something right away.

Princess Arya quietly closed her eyes. In today’s ‘Hero Summoning Ceremony’, something really unexpected happened.
“Are you okay? Her Majesty the Princess.”
Arya nodded her head roughly and sat down on the chair. Then the maid in charge removed the tiara and decorations above her head.
“… I think I will finally live.”
Arya let out a small sigh and bit the maids around her. She walked slowly to her bed and fell on the bed with the rushing tiredness.
On the table next to the bed was a book I was reading yesterday. Efforts to get closer to the people you serve are natural.
In fact, the possibility of the contents of the book was slim. The ‘divine beast’, which can speak human language, has a golden color and is said to be an unknown animal that was created when the world was divided.
Arya, she was also sad. It is said that the hero who was barely summoned had healing powers.
Healing is only His power. As a saint who worships God, I can never admit it.
It’s not that he’s sensitive, and the general public will think so. Personally, I want him to be quiet.

No more insulting God. A human man with the same powers as him, a being in a different world.
If he was a normal warrior who didn’t have that kind of ability, he might have killed the Demon King and married him.
And then we would rule this country together. Like mama mama and abama mama. Love each other and for the people.
Arya’s fine, white fingers grabbed the hem of the blanket. It is already impossible to do.
I felt a bit sad, but it didn’t matter. In the first place, marriage was also for a specific purpose, and he married God as a saint.

No man or hero can satisfy himself. Maybe the guy from a while ago did the same.

Next time, I thought it would be better to summon several people just in case. It doesn’t have to be one warrior.
Arya, who was lying on her face, slowly turned her back and looked up at the ceiling. He raised his hands and said in a very low voice.
“… Brilliant light Show me a miracle. Evil is purified and vanishes, return fate. By the grace of God.”
A faint green light was produced when the prayer-like spell was finished. Arya’s eyelashes trembled as she felt relief.
“And then I saw that person… .”
Only a single word was uttered, and an enormous amount of green light was produced. Healing was also incredibly fast.
I’m not the type to compare myself, but I’m quite different from myself. And that would be felt by everyone present.
I couldn’t even speak, but I couldn’t help but not know. If there is one most embarrassing day in my life, it must be today.
“Is it my fault that I was kicked out of the Imperial Palace?”
I didn’t even have to do that. At that time, without knowing it, I was biased towards my emotions.
Strangely, when I saw the man, my heart fluttered so much. Perhaps he sensed an instinctive danger as a saint.
He gave me enough gold, but it probably won’t last long. Even so, working in the Adventurer’s Guild would be difficult.
Who will party with him? It is a form that dares to challenge the authority of God.
In the first place, the temple cannot stand still. It’s just that there has never been such a case.
Of course, if you use your abilities secretly, you’ll make quite a bit of money. But that’s illegal, so you’ll have to be arrested.
“Still, it was my fault for speaking too much.”
If we meet next time, if he apologizes to me, I’ll accept it. Because she is a benevolent princess and a noble saint.
He touched his hair, feeling the faint green light he had just had. Feeling satisfied with her fine blonde hair, she slowly closed her eyes.
while praying silently in your heart. This prayer will not be finished until you fall into a perfect sleep.
To meet her calm god.
I hope to meet you even in my dreams.
