There are several slave-like people shoved into about 20 or so prison cells.
All together …… about 50 people, I would say.
All of them are sleeping or in weak condition and not moving.
There’s only a long single passage, and when you pass through the prison, you can see doors on both sides.
There are eight doors.
Since the haze had fully intruded the basement, I can see all the content inside each room as the results.
What’s inside each room are handcuffs hung from the ceiling, and on the wall there were several sets of handcuffs and legcuffs for crucifixion.
Then a tall bed was placed there.
The other three rooms are similarly structured, with several figures crucified in one room.
The other four rooms were lined with three chairs and crowded with shelves that looked like they held strange chemicals.
In the other room there are another chemicals again, in the other room there are several tools lying on the floor, and in the next room there is an aquarium.
In the last room, books were lined up on a bookshelf.
However, there are several cane-like objects placed on the floor, and a jewel-like object is attached to the top of the cane.
Just looking at this alone was enough to convince me that something bad was going on in this basement.
The first strange thing is that the slaves captured in the prison do not move at all.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be breathing, so it was not dead.
But now it is evening, it’s too early for people to be sleeping.
I’m concerned where one or two people are still asleep, but its all of them.
And the figures were crucified in one room.
This is obviously not right.
Slaves are supposed to be sold for the purpose of being used for something.
But why are they restrained so that they cannot move?
The answer to that question is obvious after a little thought.
Besides, I could see the chair and tools I mentioned earlier, as well as other bottles that looked like they contained chemicals.
This suggests to me that they are conducting experiments on humanoid subjects.
Goddamnit, Dolce …… The hell with you selling them to the right customer.
This is the worst thing you can imagine.
The Ramleys must be behind all of this.
They are the ones who bought the slaves, after all.
But would a nobleman like to experiment on humanoid beings?
The answer is no.
Then I remembered the bouncer who works in this mansion.
Lequam Saulmaldt.
This guy is the first one that comes to mind.
I heard that Rekuam did research and deciphered ancient scripts.
Perhaps he is a dedicated researcher.
Either the subject of his research has gotten a little messy …… or he is doing it because someone told him to …….
By all means, it’s the former.
If he’s doing this for someone else, he wouldn’t show his face when a guild official comes to see him, and he’d have to lie about where he is first.
Besides, the client would probably get in the way.
Lequam Saulmaldt…. He may be more dangerous than we imagine?
If he’s doing research in a room like this, he’s pretty crazy.
He is definitely the type of person who can attack people without hesitation.
I was thinking about it as I checked the room I had just found, but in fact there is still a room ahead.
The deepest part of this basement is …….
It is a kind of workroom with various books, bookshelves, and a bed.
In addition, you can see a silhouette that looks like a beaker, perhaps for research.
Directly in front of the door is a large desk and chair, where someone seems to be sitting and writing something.
Probably … No, this is Lequam Saulmaldt.
Because of the silhouette, it is impossible to get a complete picture of his appearance, but it is somewhat obvious from his figure that he is a magician.
But …… all the time this guy has been in this room …….
It’s going to be hard to rescue her.
There is only one exit and one hallway.
When he comes out of the room, we’ll be found out instantly.
There’s nowhere to hide. ……
If it were just me, I might be able to get by, but it’s going to be difficult to move Alena alone.
So I have to be in human form, and the chances of rescuing her will be better if I can get Uchikage to come too.
Hmmmmmmm…….
What should I do …
SHould I call him to get him out of this basement?
That would be difficult. ……
Of course he’s going to be suspicious, like a visitor in the middle of the night.
If so, should I try to fight him?
In this small place?
If we do, the slaves will surely be harmed.
Rejected.
If so, do you want to rescue her in the hope that he will not come out?
This is probably best, but if he does come out, we have to be prepared for what I just said will happen.
All of these are too risky …
There is no guarantee that Lequam will not come out of that room.
