Chapter 334: ve caravan<hr>
Once the warp point is set up, I return to Liebling and make preparations. After the preparation, we returned to the oasis again.
My members are Setia, Koihi, Ix, Nowa, Ribina, Wako, Gray, Gale, Mir, Hix and Cinth. I left Gray and the others behind to tell them that Sunasaki''s story was true. It would also intimidate them.
Setia, Nowa, Ribina and Cinth are hiding.
If the other party is a man, Ribina is the joker. There is no way for them to know.
I will fish in the oasis until the other partyes. I can''t catch anything.
...Nii. He''s here. Just like you said
We also have enemy contact. They are a group of ck-d figures
I don''t think they are amateurs. Perhaps they are the enemy
I knew they wouldn''te on friendly terms. They must be assassins or something.
I knew it...Setia, Ix, Mir. I''m counting on you
I''ll take care of it
Mission understood
When I got the news from Nowa, someone called out behind me.
"There are no fish in that oasis"
"That''s too bad"
I stop fishing, get up and turn around. There was a man there, wrapped in a ck cloth. So the marker already indicates the enemy, but I have to talk to him anyway.
Sunasaki was with a group of cerian beasts wearing the same cor. Things don''t always go as nned, do they? At any rate, I am d that Sunasaki is safe.
"I hear you want to buy a cor?"
"Yes. I heard from someone that you wereing here...but it doesn''t sound like it...are you sure you''re the leader?"
"I''m sure of it. If you''re going to buy information, you might as well pick and choose"
"My ears hurt...I heard you were some crazy dark summoner equipped with a ring..."
Koihi and Wako react to my statement. After all, it was a mistake to let Koihi and the others turn into monsters...but they were idiots on the other side.
"Kuku. That''s a misunderstanding..."
I know what he means by misunderstanding...the dark summoner at that time was talking about selling Wako. That means that he is the seller and these guys are the buyers.
I''ll put away Gray, Gale and Hix.
"I see...well good. What I want is the cor. Will you sell it to me?"
"Unfortunately, we''re not ve cor dealers"
"That''s too bad"
I manipte my inventory and pay out arge sum of money.
!!?
Money does bring out a person''s true nature, doesn''t it? Now I know who the leader is.
"Then no more money...I''m going home"
"W, Wait! Wait a minute. Is it the cor you want? There are plenty of cerian beasts out there. Why not that one?"
"Hou...you get the idea. I''ll tell you first, I''m still prepared to pay. Then let''s negotiate"
"Ah, yeah. It''s going to be a fun negotiation. Hey! Get me a desk and chair!"
So we negotiate. Then I get a call from Ix.
Mission aplished
Thanks for your hard work. Keep up the good work. Ribina...we''re going after the guy in the red cloth
Understood
Now, the situation over there is...unchanged.
"First of all, I''ve only been told that the cors are used for ves. I want to hear more about it. Of course, I''ll talk to you alone"
"Of course. Hey, get those ves back"
We both talk.
"First of all, this cor can be detonated with a ring. You can choose when to detonate it"
I knew they didn''t decide to do this out of defiance or anything like that.
"Don''t you have to worry about being broken or escaping by magic or skill?"
"The countermeasures are perfect. The seal blocks magic and skills. If you break it, remove the cor without permission, or break the seal, it will detonate"
"That''s great...but what happens when that ring is taken from you?"
"That''s the problem...if that happens, you have to contact the main source of the cor to detonate it"
So there''s another switch...well, of course. So if persuasion doesn''t work, we''ll just have to do it.
"Just out of curiosity, do you intend to give up your ves?"
"Haa? ves I paid a lot of money for. Well, if you want to buy them all, I''m willing to sell"
It''s still no good.
"Then we''ll just have to wipe them out"
Do it
"He? Gua!?"
I take out the numbing needle I had hidden in my robe and throw it at his face. Convenient, isn''t it? This.
At mymand, everyone moved in unison. Ribina jumped out of Nowa''s shadow hiding ce and used her lewd dream barrier on the man I had designated, blocking his movement and finishing him off with a dark w.
Koihi releases the change and ys everyone except the caravan''s ves. The mage in the distance was bitten by Cinth and pierced by a parasitic nt that flew from the forest.
Then several people flee from the shadows of the leader''s people. It is the ck-d enemy that Setia and the others had mentioned. However, a lightning magic arrow and a lightningser prated them and they were defeated.
"Y, You..."
"Sorry...no bargaining"
I take out my silver sword and sh the person I was negotiating with. If I use the Scarlet Ring on this guy, Setia will be pissed.
Everyone gathers around the ves.
"Who are you?"
A man, probably a wolf cerian beast asks. Sunasaki rushes to speak, but is stopped.
"It is better not to talk yet. I am Takuto, an adventurer and summoner in Freetia. I was asked by the girl to help you and your friends"
I showed my guild card as proof and the ves break down crying.
"It''s real..."
"...We''re saved?"
"I honestly can''t say you''ve been saved yet. We can''t really say you''ve been saved until we break that cor. So I''d like to take you all back to Freetia now, okay?"
If I don''t deactivate it sooner rather thanter, they could be blown up. I don''t think they''ll contact the big source right away because we''ve wiped them out, but they''ll know right away that these guys have been wiped out.
"...I understand. I''ll leave our lives in your hands. Everyone else, too?"
Everyone nodded. I''ll send them through the warp gate to Freetia.
I know the cor doesn''t detonate in response to magic. Well, I guess they think it doesn''t matter if it detonates far away.
And Cain-san and the others I contacted will protect the girls.
"The Beastmaster''s Guild will be responsible for you"
Nephi-san says so and I am called by Cain-san.
"Did you think it was a bad idea to bring them here after all?"
"Not at all. I''d rather give him amendation from the Beastmasters Guild, but we''ll do that some other time. In the meantime, can you tell me what you know?"
I tell Cain-san everything.
"I see...then a room with a blocking barrier would be a good way to ensure safety"
"A barrier?"
"Yes. It is one of the strongest barriers to prevent attacks from the outside. If you want to detonate a bomb by sending some kind of signal, you can make that signal inessible"
"I didn''t know such barriers existed"
From the outside, I guess that means it''s vulnerable to attacks from the inside, but it''s still powerful.
"Takuto-san, may Ie in now? One, Cerian Beast, would like to speak with you"
"What is it? Can I talk to her in that room for now?"
"Do that. Nephi, take them to the barrier room"
I enter the barrier room with Nephi-san''s guidance and talk to the cerian beast who says she needs to talk to me.
"I, I am a sand cat cerian beast. Do you know D''Artagnan by any chance, Takuto-san?"
Ah...this girl, from that e to think of it, D''Artagnan said there are kids who sometimes escape from the vige.
"Yes. I know D''Artagnan"
"I knew it! Umm...could you please let D''Artagnan and the others know that I''m okay? I''m sure they''re worried about me"
"That''s nothing to worry about. I''ll go tell them right now"
"Thank you!"
So I headed for Nekot vige. When I arrived at Nekot vige, D''Artagnan came easily.
"Anya? What''s wrong, older brother, nya?"
"Protect a sand cat cerian beast in the Sandwall Desert"
"Nya!? Ah, is she safe, nya!"
"For the time being, she''s safe...just cored as a ve. She is now under the protection of the Beastmaster''s Guild in Freetia"
D''Artagnan is relieved.
"Thank goodness, nya...ah! Thanks for saving that girl, nya! Older brother"
"I don''t need to be thanked for that. If I can get her out safely, I''ll bring her back here"
"Please, nya"
I told the sand cat cerian beast that I had given them the proper message and logged out.<hr>
