Chapter 163
— Trysen / Castle Town
Trisen Castle is built on a small hill, slightly away from the castle town. The area of the Tricens region has only the basic desert spread, but the only area near the capital is a green plain. The castle and the city were surrounded by thick walls, and there were dozens of wagons from the main gate of the castle town, the capital. Many of them are merchants who visit the streets from other cities. Regardless of whether you are a merchant or not, you will need to have a nationally recognized ID to enter the castle town of Trysen, and you will be able to carefully examine the cargo. In addition, because the war is now in progress, further examinations have been strengthened, and merchants have been waiting for the line.
“The next person!”
When the carriage finishes the inspection and moves forward, the gate soldier calls the next carriage. The monarchs immediately thought they were slaves. A spear was placed on the loading platform, and beasts and humans that seemed to be slaves were captured. When the carriages approach the gate, the gatemen and others stand on their way and block the way.
“This is a soldier, I’m always indebted”
“Thank you for your help”
An honest young man who seems to be a merchant turns a smiling smile on to the captain who is a captain. Is my sister sitting next to it? He has the same dark hair as the young man and a friendly smile. I didn’t make a voice, but the captain didn’t see the brothers and sisters working as slaves.
“Let me confirm the shipment. Please give me an ID. Well, it looks like a slaver.”
“Yeah, as you can see, it’s just about to stand alone. Today, I bring you a wholesale product to the Herelton Slave Company in the castle town … How about this? It will surely sell at a high price. “
“It’s enviable”
“Where did the identification card go, uh … even if you check the cargo first?”
“Oh, no problem. Hey, check everyone’s face. It looks like a pride!”
“Hey, that’s fun!”
One of the ordered soldiers climbs the loading platform and looks into the cage as if they are appreciating with Jirojiro. The slave was uniformly covered with hood, and half of the face was not visible.
“Hey, take off the hood and show your face”
Slightly laughing gate soldiers called out a woman with bright red hair that stood beside the firewood. It can be seen from the top of the robe that it is an outstanding style. In short, it must have been nominated first based on such feelings. The woman slowly lowered the hood.
“Oh, surely this slave is a ridiculously good thing …?”
“… Hey, what’s wrong?”
The captain who is suspicious of the subordinate who stopped moving asks.
“… No, it’s a beauty I’ve never seen. I’ve been surprised so much.”
“Hey, you have a nosebleed … What are you imagining? Work well!”
“I’m sorry, it’s not a feature of the order book. No problem. The next guy also shows his face.”
The men of the soldiers wiped their nosebleed and shifted their interest to the next slave. There was no problem with the later slaves, and the confirmation of the shipment seems to have been cleared.
“Completely —”
“Oh, were you in this jacket? There were soldiers!”
“That’s a secret thing. It’s an important thing, I’ll manage it properly.”
“Be careful, please check”
“Which …?”
The ID received from the youth was indeed issued by the country. The national emblem is pressed and the name of the youth is written. ―――― Except for one weird thing.
(This is a blur of something?)
I noticed a bleed of red ink. Staring at it dyed in red, it seems that the erosion gradually spreads, and finally appears three-dimensionally .–
“… Looks okay. Go through!”
The captain who has finished judging the magic power praised by the identification, which is the last authentication, with a dedicated instrument, declares high.
“Thank you, then …”
“Thank you!”
The young man who returned his ID card slowly leaves the carriage. With the thanks of a cheerful girl, the men soldiers became strange and warm.
“I was a young man I didn’t see in this area. It was a big deal as a slave trader at that age. My sister was so cute …”
“Oh, I was a very sincere, refreshing, featured, nice and cool guy. I want him to succeed. Fufu, I really like it.”
“Yeah, yeah, yes …?”
The subordinate was positive in response to the unexpected response of the captain, but when he returned to the office, he listened to the next colleague.
“Well, is this the captain?”
“What are you saying? The captain has a wife”
“Yes, that’s because of my mind, yeah …”
Looking back at the young man’s carriage disappearing into the city, he decided that he had not heard the previous dialogue.
Night wind blows and cold air entering through the gaps in the walls touches the skin. This is an abandoned house in a corner of a slum, whether an unknown person lived until several years ago, or a set of furniture that was covered with dust but left in place.
“My master managed to infiltrate you.”
“Oh, if you fly in the sky, it doesn’t matter,”
We came straight from the vermilion valley to Trysen, but there were several barriers along the way. However, it is completely meaningless before it goes above the clouds and further becomes invisible, similar to the optical camouflage by Melfina’s white magic. The dragon cavalry that originally guards this airspace has been defeated. We traveled in the air and arrived at the castle town of Trysen. First, let’s explain how to infiltrate from there.
There are barriers in the sky along the walls that cover this country. I don’t know how many magicians make up, but it’s quite powerful from my eyes. In addition to its durability, it has the function of blocking the magical power range, which is the area where magic can be activated. The summoning technique of me and Collet seems to be no exception, and I was unable to summon subordinates from outside to inside. However, if you forcibly destroy the walls and barriers, you may notice security.
So how did we get into the city? No, I entered from the main gate normally.
The key here is Sera’s unique skill “Blood stain”. Even if she plays a slave role in the cage, if she sees her face, Collet, the ladies of Deramis, and Sabato and Sesame, the royal family of gowns, may be disguised. Pretia is so distinctive that it has a lot of previous information. In order to prevent this, Sera deliberately put on light and directed the gatekeeper painted in lust first. After that, it is an easy work to manipulate the gatekeeper by touching the blood so that it is not noticed by manipulating the blood with “blood manipulation”. If he was homozygous, he passed his head for a moment. However, if Sera’s ability was met, even if he headed to Sabat or Pretia, it would have been an easy victory without being noticed.
Speaking of the later difficulty is the presentation of an ID, which was created by Melfina based on information from Collet. It can be said that what is generated is perfect if it looks only, but here again, the real identity card seems to have a special magical power. A camouflaged ID card cannot imitate that much and is out if it is examined. Well, in the end, Sera was able to escape by using blood on the ID card and manipulating the gatekeeper.
“The gatekeepers may be manipulated for a while”
…… That’s right. Really powerful, that skill.
Now that we have entered the castle town, which is the capital of Trysen, we decided to collect information and repair the base. According to the information heard from Asgrad, this barrier is an emergency and is not usually activated. It ’s powerful, but it ’s not fuel efficient to maintain, and something like this is just a hindrance to the Dragon Cavalry. If it seems that Trisen is being pursued so much, the castle seems to have a social party inviting aristocrats every day. The meaning is completely unknown. As far as researched, the Magic Knights have entered the castle, but the Steel Knights led by Dan have not yet arrived.
I thought about visiting the adventurer’s guild that was listed as the first candidate for the base, but it was not suitable for the base because it was monitored by the Trisen guys. Moreover, I am not an acquaintance with the guild leader, and I am not carelessly trusted. Exclude. And it was this ruin that settled around.
“According to Colette’s calculations, Dan will return around tomorrow. That time is a game.”
“Why should I attack before the Steel Knights come back? What is the eye to see that pathetic thing!”
Sabat, what are you saying?
