Going Into the Game With an Instant Death Skill chapter 31

After so much time, we arrived at Qubax, one of the big cities on the borders of the 3rd monarchy.

Waiting at the checkpoint of the castle gate and waiting for their turn in the standing carriage, I was immersed in my thoughts.

‘This is now a fork in the road….’

I was a little worried.

One of the skills I need the most is blood magic. Elrod Forest is the place where you can get it.

This is because the Ellord Forest was located far to the west of this city of Kyubax.

‘Are you going to go to the 1st Monarchy like this all the time, or will you visit Ellord Forest once?’

According to the original plan, I was just going to focus on the mystery, leaving behind the acquisition of blood magic.

However, it was a pity to let it pass because he had gained a sense of immobility and a sense of security and had a certain amount of safety.

‘·······No, not also.’

After a short deliberation, I decided that it would be better to just go to the 1st monarchy.

No matter how much I thought about it, heading to the Ellord Forest had too many variables.

Even if I was confident in my safety, I had to talk to the vampire tribe living there in order to get the blood magic. But is there anything wrong with that?

So, as originally planned, it would be best to postpone the blood magic and focus on the mystery.

“···········?”

I was immersed in thought, and looked out the window as there was a commotion outside.

There were a few wagons ignoring the checkpoint line standing in front of the castle gate and passing proudly to the side.

I saw the sight of passersby lining up and looking away.

The carriage’s luggage compartment was like a prison with iron bars, and young boys and girls were trapped inside.

‘·······Slave top?’

I rested my chin on the window sill and stared at them.

vampire (1)

Armed men pulling wagons loaded with people in a dark and dreary atmosphere.

When I glanced at the level, all of them were high enough to be over 30.

【Lv. 57]

Besides, the long-haired man at the forefront of the procession.

His level, which seemed to be a spearhead, was almost close to 60.

I wondered what they were doing at a considerable level for a simple slave top.

The sound of passersby murmuring was heard in his hearing, which had become more sensitive to the extra senses.

“·······It is Valkilov.”

“Hey, don’t stare.”

Valkilov?

The familiar names reminded me of their identities.

If it was the Valkilope, it was definitely not them, was it? The largest and most infamous of the three monarchs.

‘That’s right, those guys.’

Information comes to mind one by one.

A dangerous group that focuses on selling slaves and does other dirty things.

In the game, there was a side story of assassinating a high-ranking official of the monarch castle who attended as a VIP in a secret auction held by them.

I stared at the slaves imprisoned in the cage.

Each of them had their eyes dead, as if they had no will to live.

Of course, slaves also existed in this fantasy world where the class system was completely alive.

I remember there were some countries where slavery was illegal, but at least it wasn’t Calderic.

It may be illegal in certain monarchy decrees only if the monarch wishes, but who would dare to do so?

“Hey, you guys! What are you doing as you please!”

At that moment, a young man got out of the wagon standing a short distance away from me, looking dissatisfied.

A noble-looking man, accompanied by an escort knight, strode towards the slave traders passing by.

The atmosphere of the passersby watching the scene calmed down.

The long-haired man who was the captain saw him approaching and smiled.

“As you can see, we have a lot of stuff, so it’s cumbersome to stand in line. Please forgive me.”

Then he pointed to the slaves in the back. They were called objects.

“Excuse me? Are you kidding me now? For a reason that doesn’t even sound like that…”

“Sir, may I ask what family you are from?”

The man laughed and said.

“Family? Are you intimidating me now? My father is the deputy mayor of the city of Volcadion Cheil, 1st Monarchy! Dare you lowly slave traders…”

The men who were listening to him laughed out loud.

The man was bewildered because it was an unexpected reaction.

“Hey, how are these guys?”

“Hey, I did not know the deputy mayor’s restraint and made a disrespect. I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, yes. I….”

“But they came from afar, so you probably didn’t know who we were.”

The long-haired gentleman whispered into the man’s ear.

I had extra sense, so I could hear the whispers clearly in my ears.

“······························ Of To Be Annoyed And Get Off, Baby.

The man turned white and didn’t say anything, and stepped back.

Long-haired smiled as if he had ever said such a thing, bowed his head, and went on his way.

As I watched the series of spectacles, I burst out laughing.

‘He’s funny.’

If it was Valkilov, he probably had deep connections with various high-ranking officials of the monarchy. Is it the most notorious group in a monarchy for nothing?

If it was a nobleman from another monarchy, or just a deputy mayor’s family, he wouldn’t care.

The man looked at them as they left, then returned to his carriage, trembling with a disgraceful expression.

The guards at the gate, as if they were familiar, spoke a few words and then passed them one by one through the wagons right into the city.

“You look bad.”

Ashel looked at them with cold eyes, so I spoke to them.

she said, looking away.

“no.”

“Are the slaves pitiful?”

“··········Yes, honestly.”

“So you want to help?”

“No. I know it’s not something I can do.”

It was as he said.

It was a different matter from the last time I helped the employees in the 5th Monarchy.

The slave trade is legal in this world, and they are just merchants who buy and sell slaves within that confines.

If you dig deeper, you may be committing a lot of illegal things, but on the surface it meant that.

But what if the slaves are so pitiful that he kills all those men and saves them?

What will the slaves do to them? Will you lead me to take responsibility and lead a normal life?

And what about the Valkylopes? If you touched me first, you must die to get revenge.

Of course, with the power of the monarch, it would be possible to completely eradicate even one cancerous organization.

Even if it is a group belonging to the 3rd monarchy, it is absolutely unacceptable in Calderic to oppose the monarch.

But what does that mean?

‘It’s just momentary self-satisfaction.’

In addition to that Valkilov, there will be countless slaves and slaves on this continent.

In the future, whenever you come across such slave traders, are you going to kill them all? You don’t even think about the next day and release the slaves?

It had nothing to do with just a manna. Without any clear standards or beliefs, I go about doing my best.

Up to the line I can help, I will help anyone who is having difficulties, but it was difficult to overdo it while crossing that line.

My current priority is to collect hidden pieces and increase my chances of surviving.

It’s because I’m not roaming Calderik right now to pretend to be an apostle of justice.

‘I’m sorry, though.’

Anyway, from the eyes of modern people, it was a sad scene of human rights violations.

I looked at the wagons disappearing into the gates one by one.

“······································································!

Then, soon after, I opened my eyes.

Because one of the slaves on the last wagon caught my eye.

The figure of a young girl with black hair and red eyes.

‘······vampire?’

As she raised her extra senses and strengthened her eyesight, she saw the fangs sticking out of her mouth.

Obviously vampires are right.

Black hair and red eyes are the racial characteristics of vampires. Except for mutants, all vampires have black hair and red eyes.

At the same time, I could hear the men talking next to me.

“·······But if a vampire appeared, who would bid?

“Still, there are rarities, but they will all be sold out. How many noble nobles have the same taste as perverts?”

As I listened to the conversation, I stared intently at the girl crouching in the cage.

Until the carriage passes through the gates and is completely out of sight.

“············”.

I leaned back and thought.

Since it is a rare race that is difficult to see, I did not expect to see it in a place like this. The guy who was also taken as a slave.

Suddenly, something flashed through my mind.

‘Vampires … … Elrod Forest … ….’

As vampires are a rare race, they have a strong racial affinity.

So, what if I rescue that young vampire and take him to Ellord Forest?

I don’t know if that guy is from the same tribe as the vampires of Elrod Forest, but anyway, he’s the same person.

Since I saved my people and brought them back, at least we’ll be able to talk without being attacked.

‘Yeah, was there such a way?’

In an instant, an ideal picture is drawn up in your mind.

I thought this was worth doing.

***

After entering the city, I found a place to stay, and immediately went to a slave trader run by Valkilov.

As I passed the guards and entered the building, I saw an employee at the counter.

A fat middle-aged woman who was writing something on a piece of paper saw me and greeted me.

“Welcome, Confucius. What kind of slave have you come to rescue?”

I told her.

“It seems that a vampire came in as a slave.”

“······Oh, that’s right. I just arrived.”

The woman was a little perplexed, and then continued as if she was sorry.

“But he can’t buy it because it’s already been sold to someone else. I’m sorry.”

······ Are there plans for sale?

I knew intuitively that she was lying. And the hidden meaning of the words.

‘By the way, what happened to the bidding earlier?’

I’m talking about it being held in the city of Domihawk. A secret auction hosted by Valkilov.

The vampire girl must have been scheduled for an auction.

I said again.

“How much is it impossible to pay?”

“Yes, yes….”

“Even if it’s 200 gold and two platinum coins?”

“······Yes?”

The woman was speechless for a moment, then spoke hurriedly.

“Now, can you wait a moment, Confucius? I’ll bring the branch manager right away…”

After saying that, the woman who went inside came back after a while.

I came back with two men, and one of them was familiar.

‘It’s him.’

The long-haired guy I saw at the checkpoint earlier.

He approached me with a business smile and greeted me.

“Hey, hello! Confucius. I heard that you came to purchase vampire slaves.”

“okay.”

“This is Klink, the branch manager, and I’m John, Valkilov’s executive.”

Saying so, a guy named John glanced at me and Achel standing behind me for a second.

“But, would you dare to ask who Confucius is?”

“Do I really need to know?”

At my words, his impression was slightly distorted, then straightened back.

“Haha! Of course you don’t have to. I heard you’re interested in buying a vampire slave for two platinum coins.”

“okay.”

“By the way, as you’ve heard, we’re having a bit of trouble selling this product since we’ve already decided who will buy it…”

To the man who had a long tongue and was about to see the liver, I cut it off firmly.

“Three platinum coins.”

“············”.

“I have no intention of raising more. Stop flirting and just tell me whether you want to sell at this price or not. If not, I’ll go right back.”

Saying so, I pulled out three platinum coins in front of my eyes.

The branch manager standing next to him looked at him with shaky eyes.

The man who was staring at me immediately replied with a bright smile.

“Okay, Confucius. As you said, I will sell it for three platinum coins. Thank you very much for using our Valkilov Slave Dealer.”

And I went down to the basement of the building following his guidance.
