“Human, what are you going to do with us?”
Then someone opened his mouth with a ferocious voice.
Rudica’s older sister was a vampire. She still had the eyes full of enemies.
At the most, it was an unfair look to save and receive, but I understood.
Families die at the hands of humans, and since he has been captured here as a slave, it is natural for humans to hate him.
I asked her.
“Are you Rudica’s older sister?”
She was startled by my words and widened her eyes.
“Lu, Rudica? How can I get my sister…”
“I came to rescue you at the request of your brother. So there is no need to be wary.”
I outlined it to her. The circumstances from meeting Rudica at Qvacs to coming to the auction house here.
After hearing the whole story, she looked at me with a look of joy and relief, and still half vigilant.
“…are you really here at the request of my younger brother? Really?”
“Yeah. Or how would I know your brother’s name?”
“············”.
“The inn in this city is waiting for you to come. So follow me.”
She hesitated and looked back at me and Ashel.
As she gave her a wink, Ashel grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her away.
So she slowly came to me. Still, I’m more suspicious than Rudica because she’s my older sister.
I looked around the other slaves.
The goal was achieved by securing Rudica’s older sister, but what will happen to the rest of the people?
‘Would it be better to visit the market?’
Oh, I really hated playing chess in another monarchy.
I remembered about the three lords Cheongung.
He was as unpredictable as the Overlord, and he had no idea how he would react if this happened to his ears.
Even in the game, he appeared to be indifferent to everything in the world, while being strangely tenacious over trivial matters.
It’s not about who killed and what damage the monarchs care about. Do you think Valkilov cares about the Third Lords?
However, it took a while because he could be dissatisfied with the fact that other monarchs had made a riot in his realm.
Even the 6th lord tyrant, who is no different from that madman, doesn’t act arbitrarily in other monarchy orders.
Of course, this wasn’t a huge fuss, and the one who was attacked first was also the one who was attacked, so it wouldn’t be a problem… Anyway.
“You are now free.”
I spoke as if declaring to the slaves who were looking at me with anxious eyes.
Even after that, they just stood there looking at each other with bewildered faces.
Even if I suddenly said freedom, there are some people who have nothing and have no place to return to.
It’s impossible to leave this mess and leave them here.
So, I was thinking of doing a minimal cleanup first.
vampire (6)
The mayor of the Domihawk city, Ballon, was living a normal life.
After having a late dinner and enjoying tea time alone on the terrace, I was reading until dawn before going to bed.
It was then that an unexpected and unexpected guest came to the mansion.
“No… Begos-sama, what are you doing at dawn?”
Seeing the man who had entered the central hall guided by the knights standing on the guard, Ballon blinked.
Begos, a high-ranking official of the monarchy.
Ballon was personally acquainted with him.
Because it was the mayor Ballon who tacitly allowed Valkylov’s secret auction to be held in this city, and Begos was the VIP of that auction.
‘Today was the day of the auction.’
Aside from visiting at dawn like this, Begos’s expression looked somewhat urgent, so Ballon looked at him suspiciously.
Begos took a deep breath and said.
“I’m sorry that I came to you at such a late hour, but… something happened at the auction.”
“It’s a job, what is that…”
“Some madman massacred the auction house. All the managers died, and so did that Jack. The Valkilov is over.”
“········Yes? Jack Gaza? You mean the Valkylov’s chief is dead?”
Ballon asked in surprise.
The demon Jack of the Domino Hawk, the biggest tycoon in the shadow of the 3rd Lords Order, was killed out of nowhere.
He was also resourceful, but his skills were so strong that he had a reputation for all three monarchs…
“Who the hell did you say you were murdered by?”
“That I don’t know. Not even many, but only one.”
“There’s only one person… isn’t he a figure from the monarchy?”
“Then I wouldn’t know? Anyway, that’s why I came to have a discussion with you in a hurry… Let’s go inside.”
That was then.
“City, mayor.”
One of the knights who rushed in said in a trembling voice.
Ballon looked at him curiously.
“What’s going on again?”
“Well, that’s… the Seven Lords have come.”
For a moment, Ballon blinked for a few seconds wondering what kind of bullshit this was, and then asked.
“Who’s here?”
“The Seven Lords have come to visit us now.”
Now the knight’s words didn’t sound any different to Ballon’s saying that the ground suddenly went out.
So… the 7th lords? 7 lords?
‘······why?’
Why did the 7th lord suddenly come to visit him?
impersonation? It couldn’t be. What kind of madman came to the mayor from Calderic under the guise of the monarch?
“······································································!
It was a natural flow of thought, so the knights on the guard came to the mansion out of the blue and had no choice but to bring the man who called himself the 7th lord and the people of various races behind him.
Ballon’s eyes widened at the sight of strangers slowly entering alone.
The gaze of the man standing in front of them turned to him.
“Is this the market for the Domino Hawk?”
“················································ Yes! I am Ballon, Mayor of the Domino’s Hawk.”
Ballon, who had been wandering for a long time, immediately bowed his back at a right angle, feeling a sense of incomprehensible pressure.
No matter how far away from the 7th Monarchs, the 3rd Monarchs knew at least the least information about the 7th Monarchs. being a human male.
So, the man in front of you right now is really the 7th lord.
Meanwhile, Begos was astonished to see the man, the 7th Lord, and Ashel standing next to him.
‘I’m…’
At the auction house, he was wearing a mask, but he couldn’t recognize it.
An unidentified man and woman who annihilated Valkilov’s fighters and turned the auction house into a slaughterhouse.
The 7th lord turned his head and looked at Beros.
Begos lost his mind for a moment, then hurriedly bowed his back.
“········It is an honor to see the 7th lords! I am Begos, the greeting officer of the 3rd lords!”
Now I understand the situation.
Even if it wasn’t, it was weird. Where did such a formidable talent come from?
I thought it had something to do with a big string, but it must have been the monarch himself.
‘Jack, you crazy bastard, what the hell have you done?’
It was obviously Valkilov’s side who tried to attack the 7th Lords first at the auction house saying that the invitation was stolen.
Begos couldn’t understand what the hell was going on and how it had been twisted into such a non-funny situation.
The 7th lord’s mouth opened again.
“Mayor, I have come to ask you something.”
······Request?
Ballon answered, still bowing his head and rolling his eyes dizzy.
“Yes, please tell me!”
“Did you know that Valkylov’s Secret Auction is being held in this city?”
For a moment, Ballon and Begos had their hearts pounding.
“That, that’s….”
“Of course you knew. I’m not trying to blame you for that, I’m talking about the people behind me now. They were sold as slaves to the auction house, but somehow they didn’t deserve it.”
Begos, who knew the context of the situation, swallowed his saliva.
Ballon also took a quick look at the story he had heard from Begos and his reaction, and quickly inferred the situation.
‘…was the 7th lord the one who carried out the massacre at the auction house?’
The 7th monarch glanced back and spoke.
“So, I want you to take responsibility for their personal affairs. I want those who have a place to go back to spend enough money to spend, and I want those who have nowhere to go to find a suitable job.”
It wasn’t a very difficult request, but Ballon was puzzled.
It was because it felt bizarre that the monarch was taking care of the affairs of one slave.
Is this the original inclination of the 7th Prince, or does it mean something else?
I couldn’t guess, but I didn’t dare question it.
“Leave it to me. I will thoroughly guarantee their safety.”
“Yeah, that’s the end of the business. Then let’s go.”
Then the 7th monarch immediately turned away, leaving the slaves behind.
It was followed by an escort knight and a vampire.
Ballon and Begos greeted each other in embarrassment at the sudden appearance and sudden departure.
“Sah, take a look! It was an honor of a lifetime to see the Seven Lords!”
The two did not hide their backs until their backs were completely invisible.
And on the inside, I was very relieved.
Just thinking about it would be terrifying if I had been held responsible for anything related to the auction.
Of course, this is the 3rd monarchy and it is entirely the mayor’s authority to manage this city of Domihawk.
“…10 years feels old.”
Begos muttered with a face like he was exhausted just as he said.
Ballon nodded and agreed.
“Why the hell did the 7th lords come to the city of Domihawk…?”
“How can we guess the thoughts of the great people. Think of it as fortunate that it passed like this safely.”
Ballon sighed as he looked at the leftover slaves.
“So, the person in the auction house Begos-sama is talking about is the 7th Lord, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So what about Valkylov now?”
“What are you asking for something obvious, it’s completely over. If you have a ring, you should cut it off as soon as possible. Huh… I’ll have to go back to the monarchy in a hurry too. What kind of lightning bolt is this.”
***
The slaves’ personal problems were handled simply and reliably using the market.
Well, if all the mayors who had been blind to hosting the auction were the same, they would have been the same…
The reason for the massacre at the auction house was that Valkilov attacked first, not because he was going to enforce some kind of justice.
We immediately returned home.
Rudica was waiting patiently in the inn’s room with Baros.
Rudica’s eyes widened when she saw her sister’s appearance.
“sister!”
“·······Rudica!”
The two immediately ran to each other and hugged each other.
Maybe she didn’t completely trust me, and she, who was still on the verge of coming this far, burst into tears as soon as she saw her sister and hugged her in her arms.
I looked at it and asked Baros.
“Did nothing happen?”
“Yes.”
After the sisters’ reunion was over, she thanked me with a face completely dispelled from her doubts.
“Thank you so much for helping us.”
The older sister’s name was Rubika.
I put the two sisters in the front seat. It was to bring up the story of the Ellord Forest, the purpose of which I had now seen.
Because Rudica had already heard the story, but her older sister, Rubika, did not know it yet.
Rubika listened to what I had to say while holding her sister tightly in one of her arms.
“Elrod…a forest?”
After listening to all the stories, Rubica, who seemed to be a vigilant and cautious personality, showed a slightly uneasy look as expected.
“It’s the home of another tribe, and we don’t know if they’ll welcome us….”
Even so, they were sisters who lost their hometown because they were driven out by their own people from where they originally lived.
Even if I asked him what it would be like to visit another vampire tribe, this was a normal reaction.
There are many reasons why vampires have a bad image in this world.
Adults can suppress their vampire instincts, but not all adults suppress their desire for blood.
It was just like humans. Adults can control their desires better than children, but where in the world are there only such great adults?
‘Especially the 6th monarch tyrant is the ultimate king.’
When such people gather to form a tribe, they literally become a swarm of vampires that hunt and hunt for all of these races.
I thought that the tribe that had invaded the land of the tribe that the Rudika sisters belonged to was also close to that.
“Don’t worry about that part.”
I said in a confident voice to wash away my anxiety.
“The vampire tribe living in Elrod Forest is a very gentle tribe. Humans like me will reject them, but if they are of the same kind, they will accept it.”
Of course, I’ve never seen them in person.
Still, the reason I can be so sure is because I’ve played the game.
