Chapter 240: 241

Chapter 241

TL: Zimmings

I was surprised and looked at the bushy-haired man.

‘If it’s heaven…’

In my first year of adoption by Dubblede, Henry and Isaac took me to the slave auction house, Heaven, saying that it’s my gift for Children’s Day.

Although it was illegal to bring in slaves in the empire, there were still many countries with slavery. So slave auction houses such as “heaven” exist but it was concealed.

There was a time when we were attacked by someone at the auction.

‘Then what did the host say?’

“It’s really a special creature borned by combining animal and human’s blood. Moreover, this fellow is still young. Little miss would be able to play with it for a long time.”

Yes, he’s a half. Besides, they said he was younger than he looked.

‘He’s a werebeast, Like Elysiano Class’ East and West.

The werebeast are much stronger than ordinary humans and have twice of our lifespan, but their intelligence is low.

That’s why they were easily deceived and kidnapped by traffickers, and were sold to be raised as slave warriors.

I guess that’s the case with this guy.

‘But Sourire…?’

In my previous life, the names of four people were mentioned when they talked about the best warriors.

The Duke of Amity.

Isaac.

Zachary.

……and Sourire, the nightmare of the battlefield.

‘I knew that Sourire was a werebeast, but I didn’t know that he was caught by the traffickers before.’

In my previous life, Sourire was a holy knight.

He rescued the Pope from rogues by chance, and he became the Pope’s escort and made his name known in the holy war.

‘But what happened? In my previous life, Sourire saved the Pope at the age of 15… ah, I see.’

Originally, the slave auction house ‘heaven’ would still be in business.

However, the future changed because me, Henry and Isaac went to the slave auction house.

Heaven was out of business, and the slaves were released.

The small incident changed Sourire’s fate.

That’s why Sourire, who should have been the escort of the Pope, is in the Kuhelm tribe instead.

“C-chicks… chick….”

“Why do you keep calling me a chick?”

“C-chick…”

“Do you need a chick?”

“Chick, give me. Chick, to Sourire.”

Sourire smiled innocently.

“… Okay. I’ll save the chick.”

Then Emeline looked at me and said,

“There’s no time for that. If you do it, we’ll have to make a long-distance teleportation scroll, let alone finding the relics. We don’t know how long the chief will wait for you.”

“But we need this man.”

“What?”

It’s difficult to pinpoint which one is the best in terms of strategy and leadership among the four knights, but if they asked which one is the strongest, they would definitely pick Sourire.

There was a famous story about him. In the holy war, Sourire alone killed more than 200 enemies and took the lead at once.

“If we make Sourire be on our side, it’s no big deal to get out of Kuhelm.”

I chuckled.

“Give me a chick.”

“Huh?”

The other escort that the chief had attached to me looked at me.

“What do you need a chick for?”

“Ah, of course, for the teleportation scroll.”

It was a lie!

However, the tribesman, who did not know that, happily did what I asked for.

“Chick! Find a chick in the chicken coop!”

At the young man’s words, the people of the Kuhelm tribe ran around.

“There are no chicks, but there are some eggs. Can’t we use it?”

I glanced at Sourire.

“Chick, yellow, chick…”

He was murmuring about the chick blankly.

The Kuhelm tribesmen didn’t think much of it.

‘I guess it’s not working. He wanted a yellow chick.’

I shook my head resolutely at the young man.

“It must be a chick. Bright yellow.”

“… I’ll look for it.”

“Do it fast!”

“Yes…”

The Kuhelm tribesmen searched through the village to find a bright yellow chick.

The chief came to me when he heard that I was looking for a chick to make the teleportation scroll.

“You made the right decision. What do you need a chick for?”

“To eat. It takes a lot of divine power to make a teleportation scroll. Also give me back my horse and belongings.”

This is also a lie!

I need physical strength, food, and a horse to leave the village.

And while being arrested here, my belongings were also taken away.

‘I also had the etwal hidden on my armor.’

“We cannot return the weapons.”

“Of course.”

Weapons are useless. With etwal, I can summon Pur and turn this place into a swamp.

I was caught because I could not summon the devil in front of Mina and the students, but in the worst situation, I would have to summon Pur.

When the chief beckoned, a tribeswoman who had taken my things bought me back my clothes and the etwal.

I quickly put the etwal around my neck and hid it under my clothes. I stretch out my hand which had a handcuff on it.

“Please release me.”

“I can’t release the child of fate.”

“I’m the child of fate, but can I even deal with all of the Kuhelm tribe alone?”

“You can burn the village to bring in allies.”

“I don’t even know where I am. If this place is far from our camp or school, I will die first by the time they come.”

“Hmm…….”

“I’m a person who values my life very much. Don’t you think so?”

“I can see it well.”

“That’s right!”

“…… Create a barrier instead of the handcuff. Make sure they can’t escape. I will release the handcuff only within the space allowed.”

‘That’s fine too.’

The imperial palace had been strengthening their barrier for several centuries, that’s why I couldn’t figure it out. But for the Kuhelm barrier, all I have to do is summon Pur.

“Great.”

He chuckled.

“I’m glad you’re easy to talk to.”

‘Good, at least he won’t be so suspicious of my every movement.’

Now, it was time to take the chief to be on my side.

‘But how?’

As soon as I was agonizing, a tribesman approached the chief.

“A person from the mercenary guild asked to meet you.”

“It’s probably a trick to cut mana stone’s price again.”

“Is there no other way? The other mercenary guild doesn’t approach us because Odis is watching them.”

When the two of them had just finished talking, the surrounding area was noisy. A man wearing a large-brimmed hat appeared, surrounded by many tribesmen.

“Oh my, chief, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

“I’ve never allowed you to meet me, Hannibal. What kind of disrespect is that?”

“Please forgive me. It’s because the payment of the items has been delayed.”

“Payment? What happened,m”

“You gave me normal mana stones. The quality of mana stones is poor, and the number has decreased. You will be paid according to the quality of the mana stones.”

“Nonsense! It is true that the quantity was not met because of the battle, but the quality is the same as before.”

“Oh my, chief. The condition in the market is different now.…. a large amount of mana stones of excellent quality were released in Akalia Peninsula. The market value of Kuhelm mana stone has dropped, so we can’t give you a full price with the same quality as before.”

“Wha- what…?!”

The chief had a bewildered expression on his face, but the man named Hannibal merely grinned.

“It’s not that we don’t know Kuhelm’s situation, and we’ve been trading for a long time, so we’ll try to match the price as much as we can. We’ll trade at 3,000 francs each. What do you think?

“3,000 franc?! Stop joking, How can the mana stone which used to be 5,000 francs…”

“Didn’t I tell you? The Akalia Peninsula has released a large amount of mana stone of superior quality than before.”

“…….”

“If you really don’t like it, I can’t help it. I have no choice but to cut off the deal. There’s nothing to be disappointed about. I can do business with the Akalia Peninsula. But chief…… Aren’t you in trouble?”

As Hannibal smiled sinisterly, the chief’s expression darkened.

“… We can’t do 3,000 francs. At least 4,000 francs.”

“3,500 francs.”

“Hannibal!”

“I can’t pay more than that. It’s a huge loss.”

The chief sighed as if he couldn’t help it.

“Isn’t he just a scammer?”

People’s attention was drawn to my words.

The chief asked, “What?” as I crossed my arms and approached Hannibal.

“You traded mana stones for 5,000 francs?”

“Wha- what, you!”

“Did you buy the mana stones that should be worth 20,000 francs four times lower?”

“Huh?”

“And what? The Akalia? It’s true that mana stones were released in large quantities on the Akalia Peninsula, but that’s all fake, right?”

Hannibal’s face turned pale, and the chief opened his eyes wide.

“What does that mean? Hannibal!”

“I- I don’t know. Geez! What do you know?!

“How could I not know! I’m the hope mercenary guild-!”

Leader!

I couldn’t say that, so I raised my head and said.

“I’m a regular there.”

Chief, I’ll help you, so treat me well.

After that, we can take Sourire, your relics and run away.

I smiled inside.
