4 – Picking Up a Slave (1)
“Hey, 4885. Is that you?”
An imminent situation.
‘I can’t avoid it anymore.’
There is no such thing as space to retreat.
I slowly turned my head.
“…… !”
Like that, when I met eyes with him.
“As expected, 4885. You were right!”
A jailer who smiles brightly in the world.
He took out a chain from his waistband and lifted it.
“hahahaha! This asshole. Did you think I wouldn’t find you if you ran away? Get off. This bastard.”
[Boldness is activated.]
“Still, can’t you tell?”
Tsk, he replied leisurely, clicking his tongue.

“Crazy man, minute? It rolled off the wagon and went crazy! Get off if you don’t want to be hit from behind!”
“Really, I can’t listen anymore. Hey guard man! Does this noble man really look like a prisoner? If so, I’m sure you’ve got a sprained eye!”
Brozo stopped the guard from entering the wagon.
I also added a comment to this.
“I will ask you one question. Why do you think I am him?”
“Yeah, because they look the same!”
“Can you be sure?”
“… Assurance?”
“I mean, can you be sure that the prisoner you’re talking about looks exactly like me?”
“Woe, not sure!”
I let out a sigh and crossed my arms.
“Then shouldn’t some part of the body be bound?”
“Pooh, I guess I solved it!”
“I understand that mana-sealing chains are used to restrain criminals these days. Did I voluntarily solve it?”
“…… Someone must have helped.”
“A merchant without power? Or, the mercenary in the back?”
“That, that… !”
Cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
He said coldly with an arrogant expression as if he had waited.
“Without any evidence, you trusted your unicellular memory and checked the wagon I was riding on. Am I right?”
“That-it’s not that, it’s definitely him….”
The prison guard muttered while tilting his head as if he was confused.
I continued to drive him without a break.
“What is your name?”
“Rain, empty… Say it.”
He started using honorifics, as if his sh*t had started to burn.
“Kneel.”
“What, what?”
“I told you to kneel before slapping your stupid head.”
“No… It’s definitely him.”
He hesitated to act with an angry face.
“You said you would kneel. This bastard.”
A mercenary who was watching from behind took a picture of him and pressed him down.
“Keugh-!”
Chin!
His knees were forced to touch the floor.
I opened my mouth nonchalantly.
“Insulting nobles is a felony punishable by death. In principle, it would be appropriate to kill you here according to the laws of the royal capital, but even if you are an uncivilized bastard, you will have enough contributions to the kingdom, so I will turn a blind eye to you this time.”
I was surprised even after saying it myself.
Did I always speak this well?
And that’s to say that it overflows with nobility.
“Ha, please take a look! That friend must be in a very bad condition today!”
A voice is heard from a blind spot outside the carriage.
It was probably the guard’s colleague.
“Get rid of this guy right now. Because I don’t want to see you.”
“Yes, yep!”
So, helplessly, he is dragged along by his fellow jailer.
‘Sir… I’m alive.’
Seeing that, she let out a sigh of relief.
It was the first time I knew if I had a talent for acting.
At least, it was almost a misfortune to come all the way here and get caught.
“You really have a lot going on. You must have been uncomfortable, are you okay?”
“I am fine. Leave sooner than that.”
Before those bastards come back.
“Okay. We will leave immediately.”
The carriage headed for its destination again.
**
– Hee-hee!
The carriage stopped.
I finally got out of the forest and arrived at my destination, the city of Liberius.
“It was a humble carriage, but it was an honor to serve it!”
Brojo bowed.
“If there is a chance, we will meet again.”
I also answered appropriately.
“Yes, I will go now.”
“Three months ahead.”
“Yes?”
“You’d better buy a lot of iron.”
It was regrettable to part with him, so I decided to give him a small present.
“What is that… ?”
“Then see you again.”
“… ….”
I turned away from the guy who was lost in thought.
‘Bastard, later you will bow four times a day in the direction I am.”
Three months later, an incident that will happen causes the price of iron to skyrocket dozens of times.
If you listened to me, he would become very rich.
Well, the choice is up to Brozo.
‘At this level, I paid for everything.’
“Go, thank you—! I also prepared a small present for Gerard.”
“… ….”
I thought about turning back at the word gift, but I didn’t.
Something is falling.
“I put it in advance because I didn’t think you would receive it! Have a nice trip then!”
After those words, Brozo’s voice was not heard.
Hearing that something had been put in, he wanted to look inside his chest, but he managed to hold back.
Perhaps he is watching.
‘I’ll have to finish my acting as an aristocrat.’
After walking for such a long time, I took a look behind me and rummaged through my pockets.
Something was caught and when I took it out, there was a bag of money.
When I checked the contents, there were 5 gold coins in it.
‘Baby….’
.
.
.
“If you’re going to give it, give it 10.”
For a merchant, he was surprisingly small.
**
I can say that I know pretty much everything about the Death Knight game.
However, that was only when the graphics were on the monitor.
What are you talking about?
‘Finally found….’
The graphic piece and the actual city are 180 degrees different.
For example, it takes more than 30 minutes to walk a distance that can be reached in 3 minutes.
Even though it was the same place, the details were wrong, so I doubted whether the place I knew was correct.
– Knocked up.
The door of the old wooden tavern was opened wide.
At the same time, the strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol stings your nose.
‘It stings.’
In addition, people’s blatant stares.
I pretended to be calm and acted as I approached the man who seemed to be the owner of this store.
“A glass of beer.”
“You are not from this city.”
The proprietor thumped down a frothy beer in front of me.
“Looking at your appearance, you look like a nobleman, but what are you doing here without an escort knight?”
“Never mind.”
“You’d better be careful. There are more bad guys in this city than I thought. It’s especially easy to be a target if you’re walking around alone at night like you are.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
It was a common occurrence in the original game as well.
If you walk around alone without party members, or if you are wearing low-level armor, you will become a target for bandits or gangs.
The only way to get away from them was to kill them or run away.
‘I won’t do that.’
Although my defense is abnormally high, that’s actually all.
Elephants are tough, but being a weak kitten is useless.
‘Well, maybe not in the future.’
That was the reason why I came here.
“Looking for someone.”
“This is not a place to find people. It’s a bar.”
I took a gold coin from my bosom and laid it on the table.
At the same time, the tip of one of his eyebrows goes up.
“Bilbeckman, the slave trader. I hope you don’t say you don’t know.”
“Why are you looking for him?”
“Is there any other reason you are looking for a slave trader?”
“Follow me.”
He looked around him once, then gestured.
Following him, I came out through the back door of the tavern.
The noisy surroundings instantly become quiet.
When I walked along an alleyway for a while.
He bends his knees and kicks the dirt on the floor.
Then you can see the entrance door to the basement.
“Go down to the basement, go straight, and turn right.”
After saying that, he walked away.
‘It would have taken me a while to find this?’
After all, money is good.
If it wasn’t for Brozo, I think I would have struggled to find it.
I lifted the basement entrance door.
Then, without hesitation, I went down the stairs.
‘It’s f*cking dark.’
At least a few torches were provided, and it was only a matter of time before they would fall if they stumbled.
But fortunately, when I came down all the stairs, there was a torch in the basement.
‘I told you to turn right.’
Turning around the corner road, you can see an iron cage that could imprison a beast.
And next to him was a man firmly seated.
‘Is that him?’
Slave Trader Bilbeckmann.
He was a scumbag who captured heterogeneous people in the game and sold them as slaves.
“How long have you been here, welcome!”
He jumped up from his seat.
“Is there any product you are looking for?”
He approached and opened his mouth.
“I’m looking for a girl. It is a prisoner.”
“Aha, my father-in-law likes it that way, right? Welcome. There are some very spirited guys.”
After he said that, he tugged at the cloth.
Then, I saw people imprisoned in iron cages that looked like they would hold a beast.
“Let’s pick one you like.”
“Yes.”
I crossed my arms and scanned the faces of the slaves.
From children who haven’t grown up yet to adults.
I was quite fortunate for my age.
However, the person I was looking for was different.
‘No.’
‘Not even him.’
‘It’s not even him.”
“Is this all?”
From noble mtl dot com
When I said this with a sigh, he was startled.
“hahahaha…. I’m sorry, but for now, this is the product. Don’t you like it?”
“Are there any prisoners with gray hair?”
“Gray hair, yes, but… “
Bilbeckmann’s complexion darkened instantly.
“… I can’t sell it as a product because my education is still not finished.”
“Education?”
“Yes, aren’t all products toys that move as the owner wants? It is to educate the process, but it is a bit difficult to sell because it is strongly rebellious.”
“Let me guide you.”
“You will regret it. It has no value as a commodity.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“You have quite an unusual taste. All right. Please follow me.”
He laughed and looked at me as if he understood.
“Shall I take care of the chaejik separately?”
“Shut up.”
“Yes.”
So, I followed him deeper into the basement.
