220. Captive
Of course, I didn’t let Sen torture him.
No matter how pirate she was, the Dragon Goddess refused, saying she couldn’t do torture, and I didn’t want to make Sen chew the cud for nothing.
Sen showed an unusually atrocious remark that he would pluck Yongin’s claws and nail them right away, making even the escorts who followed him terrified.
Obviously, before we came together in a carriage, the innocent child who saw the dragon and jumped and jumped, saying it was strange, suddenly behaved as if he had changed.
In any case, the arrest was made.
I checked the patterns on the corpses of the pirates that I had attacked before, and compared them, it was the same, so it wasn’t that difficult to find them.
So, it must have been engraved in a place like the sole of the foot that is hard to see. Pirates sometimes act inefficiently and at first glance foolish.
The people themselves shout that it is a sea man and romantic, but when I saw it around, it didn’t look so romantic.
Anyway, after tying up the pirates who kept their mouth shut without making excuses, me, Sen, and the Dragon Goddess escorts went on a search.
No matter how you think about it, these numbers aren’t enough for the pirates to do anything. With that in mind, I set out to the nearby plain.
Even at a glance, the wide open plains did not look like anything. At least, there were wild animals roaming nearby, or a little bumpy stone beak.
But Sen dared to point this place.
“Originally, a place that looks empty from the outside is the easiest place to hide. Judging from the fact that he was from the Extermination Squad, he probably taught camouflage.”
“……”
I didn’t want to see Sen like this again.
It was less than when they first met, but Sen now seemed more like a reaper than a student.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have brought it.’
Thanks to Sen, she was able to easily find the hidden pirates, but rather than that, she didn’t like the fact that she was in an environment that had no choice but to change so drastically.
I thought I had completely shaken it off, but the shadow of the Scouting Squad hung over her deeper than I thought.
Of course, you can’t just see it as bad.
In a way, what Sen was doing now was also to shake off the Reaper. That’s why I couldn’t block it hard.
I had no choice but to support Sen from behind.
Even now, people gathered around her for the search.
“It must be a camouflage technique that does not use mana at all. Because if you use mana, it’s no different than leaving a trace.”
“Their camouflage technique emphasizes the nature-friendly part. Even the sound of breathing will be as if the wind blows and moves naturally. If possible, move while stamping the ground with something like a staff.”
“If rocks or animals are crowded, search a place a little away from there. It’s one way to cheat by using a conspicuous place as bait.”
Like a professor giving a lecture, Sen spits out the information he knows in an inorganic way. If it was usual, the dragons would have said something and spit and ignored the little kid.
They listened to Sen’s words first, probably because of the swaying life that Sen just showed. Began a search.
“But will it really be?”

Just in case, I answered honestly to the question of Eve, who always sticks by my side.
“I don’t think I would have hidden four people either. But I’m not sure if they’re hiding in the fields…”
I see the back of Sen, who is straddling the search from the front.
“Because I believe in Sen, I think I’ll be here.”
Eve put a strange smile on her lips as if she liked the answer.
“why? What’s weird?”
“No, because Daniel and Sen felt like siblings.”
“Oh, yes. They often call me brother.”
Only when he needs it, he adds “oppa” at the end like a decoration. Well, it’s not that bad, but Sen feels like an ordinary little sister to that point.
“It felt strangely good because I only had an older sister.”
In the case of Dina noona, she had a strong personality since she was young, so most of the situations were when I was dragged around.
“I have a lot of younger brothers, so it’s Tal. The kids get tangled up every day.”
Eve patted her shoulder saying she was tired. Still, a pleasant smile was drawn as if he remembered his younger siblings.
“What are your brothers doing now?”
“Uh, now that lunchtime is over, aren’t you studying? There is a private academy nearby, although it is not a prestigious place like Aeos.”
“okay?”
“I was able to come to AEOS because I did well in the exam on the writing side. You don’t know how many times the kids cried when they came.”
Brother.
it’s my brother
All of a sudden, I was about to fall into various thoughts, but I heard the shout of a strong man from afar.
“Die!”
A place that seemed to be littered with gravel on the flat ground suddenly distorted and a person jumped out.
Through Sen, I had already been told that the camouflage skills of the Extermination Squad were very good, and in fact, I, too, often used camouflage in the Demon Realm Forest.
To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be that good.
A camouflage that would have been difficult to detect if you just passed by.
But, as if he had expected it, Sen bent down like flowing water to dodge the sword, and immediately drew the dagger and plunged it into the sole of the foot.
“Turn it off!”
A man whose eyes turned red from blood.
However, Sen had no mercy. As if swimming right away, he twisted his body and stuck his heel to his chin.
A pirate who falls heavily.
Maybe it was because he was wearing a camouflage, so when he collapsed, it looked like the person had disappeared again.
And at the same time, the floor is distorted and the pirates protrude.
Literally, people came from all directions and attacked me, but I couldn’t get over the wall of the heretical judges or cardinals who were already nervous.
“Keep it off!”
“Ouch!”
As soon as they come out, the pirates are cut right away. It was like catching a fish in the creek, but in reality there was a lot of blood.
I quietly covered Eve’s eyes and watched the situation.
There were a few humans among those hiding, but most of them were dragons.

“I’ve been arrested for now, but there’s no suitable place to detain them separately.”
A larger number of pirates than expected were captured, but there was no place to hold them.
It would have been nice to use the prison cell that the former guards used, but a large hole was created due to the shelling during the raid by the pirates.
In the end, all they could do was tie the pirates around a huge rock like tying horses.
“It doesn’t look very effective.”
Looking at Pobak, Sen made a dissatisfied expression. Looking around, he muttered that he could escape if he was himself.
Kwadeuk!
“……!”
As he approached, he broke the ankle of a bald-headed Yongin, who was suspected of being a member of the Extermination Squad. The guy who glared at Sen with eyes full of resentment.
But Sen came closer to me, shaking his feet as if he had stepped on an insect.
“just in case. There are people from the Extermination Squad who can escape from captivity.”
Watching Sen say nothing like it was a little bit heartbreaking now, so I pointed at the guards, who were surprised by Sen’s cruelty.
“Don’t worry too much, those people are protecting you too.”
“……”
“I can’t. You should get some rest.”
For a moment, I felt too strongly that Saisen was running extremely resolutely. It didn’t look good at all, giving off the old atmosphere.
Originally, there was something I wanted to say to Sen, but I deliberately held back because I thought she wouldn’t be able to accept it positively in this state.
After all the work is done later, let’s go see Sen.
‘It’s true that the pirates are related to the Extermination Team.’
According to the information that Rin gave me in the second round, the pirates were the sources of the drugs used by the Extermination Team to raise their successors.
They have unique interests, hold hands when they need each other, and ruthlessly abandon each other when they don’t.
As if emotions were excluded at all, as if the previous wounds and knife attacks were nowhere to be found, they cooperate as soon as their pockets become thicker.
Perhaps even now, the Reaper and the pirates have a cooperative relationship.
Wanting to keep Sen and the prisoners away, I was able to spot the Dragon Goddess talking to Eve while I was heading towards the inn with her.
The atmosphere itself didn’t look too bad, as if the two were talking quite a bit.
As I got closer, I heard a voice.
“Since you’ve revealed that there were dragons among the remnants of the pirates, even the elders won’t be able to recklessly talk about compensation.”
“It’s thanks to the help of the Dragon Goddess. The trust also supported us.”
“Originally, even the elders weren’t broken that much. I guess Shakalim-nim’s intentions were not heard, so it must feel like sailing on the open sea.”
“I guess so. The Dragon God still has no answer.”
Eve secretly looks at it, but the Dragon Goddess nods with a sad face.
He’s pretty good at acting.
That’s why he must be talking to Shakalim alone while deceiving the elder and all the other dragons.
I thought it was an opportunity, so I tried to intervene right away, but Cardinal Theosender is running from afar.
With a light breath contrasting with the heavy footsteps, the cardinal exclaimed hastily.
“pirate! The pirates have appeared!”
The atmosphere changes rapidly.
I thought that one incident was over, but I thought that the flow had started to speed up like a storm that suddenly appeared in the calm sea.
When we stepped out onto the beach, all we could see was an endless, empty horizon.
“What, what? Where are the pirates, Cardinal?”
“I don’t know either. It must have been a misunderstanding.”
The urgency of the past has completely disappeared, and the cardinal apologizes bluntly. The dragon goddess who already hated him sighed and looked at him coldly, but turned around.
Sen sniffing from the side. Suddenly, he turned his head, opened his eyes wide, and ran away.
“I smell blood.”
When Sen headed for the rock where the prisoners were held at a hurried pace, there was only blood and no one there.
And Cardinal Theosender asked from behind with a sly smile.
“Come on, everyone. Let’s find out that there is Yongin among the pirates.”
It was like an outrageous pun, but the cardinal was confident. Even if you shamelessly erase the evidence that there is Yongin among the pirates.
This is their land, and the people who live there are Yongin.
The cardinal was convinced.
In the end, it will be their will.
“cardinal……!”
The Dragon Goddess looked at Cardinal Theosander with a look of absurdity, and Eve and Sen also looked at them with a mixture of soaring contempt.
‘that is great.’
I realized that the situation turned out to be very favorable for me than I had expected.
