Chapter 152

Growth! Rumble!

Because the commotion grew more and more intense, Romandro lastly stood up from his seat. Then, urgent his ear in opposition to the door, his eyes darted round. It was clear from the curses and loud noises that the scenario was chaotic.

Romandro referred to as out to Ian with a grimace.

Th-That is positively Beric, proper?

What if it wasnt Beric however another downside that had arisen? What if the slaves have been escaping and combating? Wouldnt even their very own security, as they sat within the workplace to buy slaves, be in jeopardy?

Nonetheless, Ian calmly rummaged via the workplace desk and drawers, nodding his head.

It needs to be. The mana has disappeared now, however I positively felt Berics presence.

Th-Then thats a reduction.

Kwang! Clank!

Aaaaargh!

On the similar time, the door swung large open. Romandro was startled and fell backward with a thud. The one who opened the door was Beric, his hair matted. He grinned broadly on the sight of Romandro and Ian.

IanIanIan!

Oh, Beric. Very long time no see.

Ah, I actually went via hell! It was utterly exhausting!

You bastard! Die!

As quickly as we get again, roast an entire pig for me.

Positive. In the event you totally clear up right here, that’s.

Smack!

Behind Beric, a member of the slave caravan swung his sword. Nonetheless, Beric naturally dodged by tilting his head to the facet and seamlessly created a rotational axis to drive his fist into the mans face.

However Beric, why did you name for us? It doesnt look like you’ve any bother dealing with this by yourself.

Ah. Thats due to Hasha.

-Sir Ian! Sir Ian!

Thud!

At that second, a white canine dashed between Berics legs and leaped into Ians arms. Ian put down the paperwork he was studying and slowly stroked the canine neck as he held her.

Hasha. Are you unhurt?

-Sir Ian, I apologize! I by chance spoke human language in entrance of those morons! I believed they may overlook it if I panted like a canine, however guess what? I used to be caught immediately! Grr, Im so livid!

Straightforward. Settle down. So long as youre secure, thats all that issues. Hasha, I’ve loads to let you know.

-I do as effectively. Ian. However earlier than that, the explanation I requested Beric to name for you is

Together with Hashas phrases, about 5 – 6 folks appeared on the door. That they had blue hair and pointed ears. Ian immediately acknowledged them as Astanians.

Beric, shortly clear up this place. You’ll be able to kill all of them, however preserve the caravan chief Fakens alive. Have you learnt his face?

Yep yep. I do know.

Good. Astanians, all of you are available in.

Unwell be again! Ian!

Creak. Kwang!

At Ians gesture, the Astanians timidly entered the workplace. All of them had shackles on their toes. Beric closed the door as if entrusting the whole lot to them, and Romandro grabbed a damaged picket stick as a weapon, guarding the surface.

The Astanians have been captured right here, so Hasha couldnt escape alone. Even when Beric killed everybody and unlocked the shackles, if these foreigners with slave standing have been caught by the guards, they may very well be handed over to a different slave dealer.

Hasha, you probably did very effectively by calling for me.

At Ians reward, Hashas tail wagged, tapping the ground. They wanted an imperial citizen with authority who may deal with the scenario.

And dont be too shocked to listen to this. Wesleigh is useless. To be exact, its extra correct to say she self-destructed.

-What did you simply say?

Its finest for Hasha to at all times put on it earlier than going to Astana.

Ian mounted the brooch round Hashas neck, then seemed on the unconscious Fakens. Since all of the caravan members have been useless, he was pondering how one can cope with this man.

Its the guards. Weve been dispatched after receiving a report of a disturbance, gasp!

Hey! Is anybody inside?

Whats happening right here? Oh my god, theyre all useless.

Is there anybody alive? If somebody is there, reply!

It was the guards. They have been getting into, stepping over the bloodied corpses. As Ian was about to step ahead, this time Romandro stopped him.

Unwell deal with it. Ian, arent you on the verge of turning into the minister of the Ministry of Magic? If any noise will get blended in, itll be troublesome. Go away it to me! I’ll not be capable of wield a sword like Beric, however Im a person who has lived his whole life within the imperial palace with only a pen!

Ooh, thats cool, Romandro!

You, wipe off the blood! The guards would possibly mistake you for a monster and cost at you.

Beric giggled and rubbed his face. The bloodstains smeared, creating an much more weird environment.

Nicely talk about the small print after we return to the residence.

-Proper. That will be finest. What about Fakens?

Had been taking him with us. I’ve questions for him, and he may be helpful. Beric, cowl him with a material and carry him in your again.

Will you roast the pig as quickly as we get again, Grasp? Truly, Im actually hungry proper now. I believe it could be higher to only drag this man.

Beric intentionally staggered and groaned. The Astanians glanced at one another and supplied to assist. They might carry him as a substitute of Beric.

Unwell give alcohol to the one who carries him.

Out of my approach!!

At Ians phrases, Beric immediately swatted away the Astanians arms. And as if he had by no means groaned earlier than, he slung Fakens over his shoulder and stood up. Hasha, who was about to take the lead, paused and seemed again.

-Ian. However there are extra slaves within the basement. What’s going to occur to them?

Slaves?

The Astanians have been a tribal nation that lived in concord with nature. Though they have been conscious of the slave system, it was their first time encountering it culturally. Nonetheless, what was imprisoned behind bars was not simply people, however their dignity.

Simply as Ian was about to say one thing, Romandros voice got here from exterior.

Hey, dont go inside! A highborn from the imperial palace is in there. In the event you see their face, youll be those in bother, Im telling you.

A guard who was about to enter the hall resulting in the workplace stopped.

There have been individuals who grew to become slaves illegally, and there was a dispute whereas verifying them. Are these folks approved slave merchants within the nation?

It was extremely unlikely that those that interacted with thieves would have permission. Furthermore, if traces associated to undead have been found, it wouldnt be an enormous situation even when a couple of caravan members died right here. Above all, all of them gave the impression to be foreigners.

Uh, effectively have to research that individually.

You name yourselves the guards of Bariel, but how did you fail to see till a nobles servant was kidnapped by an unlawful slave dealer? It is a clear mistake! Give me your names and affiliations.

No, Advisor. With so many unlawful immigrants right here, how can we take note of each single certainly one of them?

I do know, I do know!

And he slipped them some cash. In the event that they have been demoted and assigned right here, it meant they have been guards who had triggered fairly a little bit of bother. Most of them have been seemingly concerned in bribery. The guards exchanged glances with one another whereas taking a look at Romandros identification and surveying the environment.

Then, please submit a report back to the guards as quickly as potential. We can even confirm the legitimacy of the caravan. You talked about there have been unlawful slaves?

Thats what Im saying! And so they have been kidnapped too!

Hmm. I perceive.

Though folks had died, their angle modified after receiving a couple of cash. Romandros coronary heart was pounding as he handed over the cash. The guard scratched his head and requested,

Had been all of the unlawful slaves members of the Advisors family?

Huh? Y-Sure! They have been!

I perceive. Nicely present a carriage for you. Please take the victims and return house for now. Nicely report back to you after the incident is resolved.

All of the slaves? Romandro circled in bewilderment, and Ian merely shrugged his shoulders. As if asking, what are you doing?
