I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 102
Only Noblemtl
#102 Where did it all start to get tangled up? (2)
A large hole was dug in the ground.
And the slave traders standing in front of them.
I raised my arm and pointed to the pit.
“Okay, come on in.”
“…Are you planning to bury us alive?”
Actually, being buried alive isn’t that bad.
If we let these guys live, won’t there just be more victims?
But still, I’m a shaman, and I don’t feel like creating vengeful spirits.
“Go in quickly. I’m busy.”
The guys who had been flinching started to complain all at once.
“Please save me!”
“I’ll give you as much money as you want…!”
This is what the word “shit” is used for.
How many people have those guys taken away that you can hear them asking for their lives?
It seems that this thought was shared by Pharamon as well.
“Hmm…refusal….”
Slurp.
The sword of the old man, which had not been taken out, revealed its sharp edge.
“Ugh…!”
“Would you like to try refusing something?”
The slave traders swallowed their saliva in unison.
Those who were hit by the inspiration were causing a fight.
Even those who hadn’t woken up yet felt something and shivered.
“If you don’t have legs, you have to crawl in.”
“I…will go in!”
“Please let me in!”
Woorur –
The guys who came in one by one soon filled the hole.
There are so many of them that even the largest pits are running out of space.
It was a good thing, as we needed help at the very moment.
“If you use a spirit on top of this, the gnome will be upset, right?”
“yes.”
“I can’t help it.”
It is the law that one must atone for one’s original sins.
Because the sin doesn’t go away just because someone hits you.
“People who couldn’t get in, they all ask about that.”
The men who had been watching moved and began to cover the pit with dirt.
“S…If I had known it was first-come, first-served, I wouldn’t have come in…”
“Why don’t you be quiet? What did you do to open your mouth?”
I was thinking of burying my head in the ground, but I think it’s better this way.
“Do you know what karma is? If you accumulate karma, it all comes back to you.”
Even those who have done good deeds will be blessed.
If you accumulate it steadily, you will meet a benefactor, or the people who watch your actions will become benefactors.
That’s how good luck comes.
There are countless ways in which good deeds can return.
The same goes for evil deeds.
This time, it seemed like it was true that the evil deeds had exploded when I ran into him.
“Ask carefully.”
These guys were buried in the ground, leaving only their heads behind.
I started to compact the ground by stomping on the surrounding ground.
“The rest of you, tie them together.”
“…yes?”
When the bastards’ cart was turned, all kinds of kidnapping tools poured out.
Handcuffs and cuffs.
Ropes and strange drugs.
Since they were large in size, the amount of precious metals contained inside was considerable.
“What are you doing? Hang me upside down.”
“….”
Only one person remained, standing and watching, with people hanging around him.
It is a sight to behold, with soybeans sprouting where you plant them, and red beans sprouting where you plant them.
Swish-
“I’ll tie that guy up.”
“thank you.”
Inspiration Paramon himself approached, holding the rope.
“Umm…”
Now we have to do something called interrogation.
Given the circumstances, it’s clear that they must have taken slaves elsewhere as well.
“Oh my… this country is a total mess.”
Now that we know that necromancers are involved, it’s something we need to be careful about.
If there’s a problem though.
That I have never done anything called an interrogation.
“Should I hit it first…”
Or else.
“Should I burn it with fire?”
“…Ugh!”
Fortunately, there was no need to resort to such cruel methods.
Because I see souls who will readily give me the information I need.
“That…elder?”
– ….?
A pungent, burnt smell.
Skin all burnt and distorted.
However, he did not die in the fire and remain in this world.
There were people who stayed because of the life of a man named Ferrante.
“Why don’t you live a little more properly? Elders, my heart is breaking again.”
“…”
The elders are cooperative as they are trying to straighten out the lives of their children who have been ruined.
“Where are these guys taking the slaves they capture?”
In an instant, the soul’s face hardened.
I had a feeling I had a rough idea of what was going on.
– ….
“I know you’re going to the necromancer. I need to know more details.”
Nod.
An old man who appeared to be my father gestured.
A square drawn in the air.
And the land that is pointed to.
“Do you need a map?”
Nod.
As I spoke, Serena took out a map from beside her.
“Is it this way?”
– ….
Clocell also looked at the map with a cautious expression.
“You seem to be no ordinary person, seeing as you can read a map.”
“I think he was a mercenary.”
Nod.
“That’s right.”
The fingertips of the soul pointed to one place.
It was a territory not far from here.
And the fingers moving along the road.
“Here too?”
Nod.
It wasn’t just one or two places.
And finally, the place my hand headed to was the sea.
The inspiration stroked his beard.
“As expected, it’s the capital. What a strange thing.”
“What is it?”
“There’s nothing suspicious there.”
The whole situation was telling me openly that there was a problem there.
“The Empire has been tracking them for a long time.”
“That’s what I said.”
“It’s not like we haven’t investigated the capital of the kingdoms. Even now, secret investigations are continuing.”
This must have been it.
The identity of the imperial intelligence agent who happened to be passing by.
“Even now, a delegation of envoys has been dispatched. It won’t be easy to avoid their eyes.”
“hmm…”
“I’ll look into it in more detail and keep you in touch.”
As expected, the feeling was strong.
There was a high possibility that the capital city was corrupt from the beginning.
If only the souls were gathered and taken, it would not be easy to find traces.
“Let’s start moving slowly. Let’s save people along the way.”
“I see.”
As I was about to move away from them, I stopped in front of a soul that was blankly staring at me.
“Ugh…”
I gently shook Luna’s back to wake her up from her sleep.
“Luna, can you give me your hand?”
“Hmm…? Come here!”
If this doesn’t work, then it’s just cause and effect, so there’s nothing we can do about it.
“Dude! I’m growing again!”
“okay?”
“Bell! You did a good job. So grow up! Grow up quickly!”
“huh?”
What is this?
***
“Never go out alone again!”
Sniff –
A hunter who had almost lost his child not long ago was heartbroken.
How vain it was.
It felt like the whole world was disappearing.
“From now on, hunting alone is prohibited.”
Who would have thought that sending someone to catch a rabbit would lead to such a result?
I regretted and regretted again that I had raised a hunter’s son to be a hunter.
I’ll teach you a little later.
The hunter was surrounded by people who were accompanying him.
They were all people whose children had been kidnapped.
“Let’s go back quickly.”
If the priests hadn’t come and told me the news, I wouldn’t have even come this far.
The faces of the priests who had personally come to them and helped them came to mind.
“Did you say your name was Hans…”
It was an easy name to remember.
Because there was a person named Hans living across the street from my house.
“The priests are amazing.”
“I see…”
The hunter tilted his head slightly.
This is because to commoners, a priest was almost like a quasi-noble.
Beings who are difficult to even talk to.
But the priests I met this time were different.
Even their names were similar to theirs, and they were not infinitely friendly to them.
He told me not to get sick and even healed me with divine power.
“What a strange thing. I never thought I’d be able to receive treatment with divine powers.”
“Our daughter also received treatment from the priest.”
“My back pain is now as good as new!”
Those who had been talking hurried their pace.
Because their village was a little far away from here.
If we don’t move quickly, we will arrive long after the sun has set.
“Let’s go!”
“Hey, wait a minute…!”
One of the people pointed somewhere.
The hunter turned his head. He frowned at the strange scenery.
“…person?”
“Why is the person floating in the air?”
“That’s not it.”
It wasn’t in the air.
He was just tied to a tree and hanging there.
“It could be that I was victimized by slave traders again.”
“Let’s go quickly and help.”
The hunter, judging that there was no threat nearby, started running.
And when they arrived, what they found were heads sticking out of the floor and people tied to trees.
“Who on earth would do something like this…!”
“Did you get robbed?”
A voice called for help from the ground and under the trees.
“Please help us!”
“We were attacked by thieves!”
The hunter took out his dagger with a cold expression.
I had just come to find the children who had been kidnapped.
There was no way the perception of thieves was good.
“I will release you right away.”
As I was approaching the tied up person.
“dad!”
“huh?”
“Hey, these are the people!”
The children who followed behind became noisy.
Because I saw familiar faces.
“These people kidnapped me!”
“…!!!”
“That’s right! This old man is us!”
Even among the adults, there were some whose faces I recognized.
This is because there was a person who approached him, saying that his son or daughter had talent for Mana.
As the atmosphere calmed down, cold glances came and went.
“Whew!”
The people who spat picked up broken branches from somewhere.
As small as an arm.
“How dare you touch my child!”
Phew –
“Ugh!”
Bam!
The clubs flying incessantly.
The person who was planted on the ground with only his head sticking out was kicked.
“S…save me!”
Phew!
It didn’t take long for them to be covered in blood.
The beating with clubs continued without stopping.
Until the hunter found a note tied to a rope.
[Slave Hunter, please deliver the note to the nearby priests.]
The name Chris is written below.
And there was a small handprint next to the name Luna.
The children’s reactions soon erupted.
“Huh? Isn’t this what the priest hyung had?”
“That’s right! It’s exactly the same as the one that my brother treasured so much.”
“I loved you more than my older sister.”
People immediately remembered one person’s face.
The priest who was waiting for them at the orphanage.
“I guess I should tell that person.”
