Chapter 915
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Professor Garcia momentarily felt a surge of anger and almost burst into profanity, but realizing his disciple was beside him, he barely managed to restrain himself.Slaves? Were not slaves. Look. Its magic, isnt it?
Unusual magic. Magic slaves perhaps?
Lee Han saw Professor Garcias fists clench tightly.
Do ancient people have no fear?
If nothing else, just looking at Professor Garcias build should have prompted a normal reaction of Ah, youre not slaves!
Even if Professor Garcia had handcuffs and chains on his wrists and ankles, they should have tactfully said youre not slaves and moved on, but he couldnt understand what kind of confidence made them act like this.
-Dont think of them rationally.
The hamster in the cage hanging on his backpack squeaked.
What do you mean?
-Just because theyre dressed as soldiers or patrol guards doesnt mean you should think of them as the Empires soldiers or patrol guards. Theyre completely different beings.
In the hamsters view, the patrol guards here were closer to mage criminals or raiders.
Having spent their lives repeatedly attacking and plundering others, their eyes gleamed with murderous intent and their fingertips trembled, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Youre saying the patrol guards are criminals? Then coming here was also
While Lee Han was conversing, the patrol guards spoke again.
Magic slaves or whatever, it doesnt matter. Put down your equipment and surrender.
No! Were telling you were not slaves! Look. And were not from this kingdom either. We came from outside.
Professor Garcia somehow suppressed his anger and attempted rational negotiation once more.
The patrol guards hesitated at this negotiation.
Not from the Margada Kingdom but outsiders?
Yes!
Even better. No need to return you to your slave master. Well sell you for a good price. Surrender. Before we kill
The patrol guards who had been speaking confidently collapsed.
Professor Boladi, who had disappeared from beside the group at some point, appeared from behind the fallen patrol guards and spoke bluntly.
We wont be able to enter easily.
Indeed.
***
The group captured the fallen patrol guards and moved quickly.
Professor Garcia, who found a decent cave nearby, set up camouflage and guards at the entrance before creating a temporary camp.
Ill help too.
Its fine. Student Lee Han. Rest.
Professor Garcia shooed Lee Han away as if he had no intention of making his disciple work.
The shooed-away Lee Han approached Professor Boladi. Professor Boladi was tying up the captured prisoners and setting up a simple interrogation stand.
Ill help too.
Rest.
Lee Han, who usually had to do the work of more than ten people when with his friends, found himself with nothing to do when with the professors.
He could just rest comfortably, but Lee Han felt strangely uncomfortable.
Couldnt they just give me some work to do?
It was actually harder to sit around doing nothing while the professors worked.
Lee Han spoke to the hamster.
It seems like the kingdoms patrol guards here capture anyone and make them slaves. Is that right?
-Its not particularly surprising.
The hamster squeaked indifferently.
The Empire was peaceful now, but if you went to the frontier, outskirts, or even farther places, such things were common.
Strictly dividing classes, oppressing lower classes, and treating unlucky outsiders who approached like slaves.
It seemed this kingdom was like that too.
The reinforcements that had appeared earlier to face the demon army, when looked at closely, seemed excessively strict in their manner.
The moment the auxiliary slaves among the golems stepped even slightly outside their formation, sharp whips flew from above, causing blood to spatter and flesh to fly.
As a mage criminal, the hamster sensitively detected what kind of atmosphere this kingdom had.
A powerful mage kingdom that ruled people with force and fear!
Lets begin.
Professor Boladi, having finished preparations, called the group and woke the prisoners.
The patrol guards who came to their senses glared fiercely and threatened.
How dare slaves commit such acts? Arent you afraid of punishment!
If you apologize for your wrongs now, well end it at just making you slaves!
Professor Boladi used magic efficiently.
After several spells were cast, the patrol guards became very docile.
What are you curious about
Stop! I, Ill answer
-His skills are quite extraordinary.
The hamster had to acknowledge that this Einroguard professors abilities were quite exceptional.
Lee Han nodded with an agreeing expression.
Thats right. Professor Bagrek knows how to make people listen.
What is this guy bragging about?
The hamster was inwardly dumbfounded.
Of course, being a mage criminal himself, he could appreciate such interrogation, but wasnt the Wardanaz family boy different?
Affiliation.
Ma, Margada Kingdom patrol guard of Isran City
Method to enter the kingdom.
If, if youre an outsider generally you cant enter if caught definitely enslaved
Professor Garcia, who was listening nearby, was shocked.
Outsiders are completely forbidden from entering? Does that make sense?
When thinking of the Three Kingdoms Era, it was easy to think of an era with only three kingdoms, but it was actually a bit different.
It was called that because among countless minor kingdoms, there were three kingdoms powerful enough to leave their names in history.
And the Margada Kingdom was a great power that Professor Garcia knew by name, counted among those three kingdoms.
It was hard to believe that such a massive kingdom, not some closed small nation, would capture and enslave all outsiders.
If they act that way, all merchants will go to the Karsala Kingdom or Arbanti Kingdom. All travelers from other minor kingdoms too.
Professor Garcia asked, mentioning the names of the two kingdoms.
The Three Kingdoms Era was a fierce time when kings fell and crowns melted away.
In such times, such blunders would only benefit other kingdoms.
However, the patrol guard answered as if asking what he was talking about.
Karsala Kingdom and Arbanti Kingdom are all the same Where are you from that you dont know that Ugh!
Use respectful language.
When the patrol guard was rude, Professor Boladi resumed efficient magic use.
After several magic uses, the patrol guard realized that it didnt matter where outsiders came from, what mattered was proper etiquette.
The Three Kingdoms Era is harsher than I thought.
Indeed it is.
Lee Han agreed with Professor Garcias words.
From the perspective of just reading history books, only memories of countless archmages and secret arts being born, alongwith various cultures and anecdotes remained, but seeing it in reality, the level of fierceness was extraordinary.
The three strongest kingdoms treated not only outsiders but also their own people like slaves, focusing solely on developing powerful secret arts, while outside the kingdoms, demon armies that had descended upon the continent roamed around looking for opportunities.
All of this was discovered in less than a day since arriving here, so there were probably many more tragic situations they hadnt discovered yet.
To enter you must disguise borrow the power of smugglers or wear the clothing of kingdom citizens
Whats the possibility of detection?
Periodically chimeras patrol outsiders have no markings so theyre easily detected
It seems more thorough than Einroguard.
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
Chimeras that would catch anyone without magically processed identification marks.
This wasnt even a royal palace but a small city. He couldnt believe they maintained such surveillance even within a city like this.
Have you ever heard of the Gonadaltes family?
Gonadaltes? Gonadaltes I think Ive heard of it but Im not sure
The patrol guard tilted his head and then shook it in denial.
No matter that the Skeleton Principal had been a prince in life, he was still just a prince of a small kingdom.
A mere patrol guard wasnt knowledgeable enough to know about the families of such kingdoms.
Having heard everything he needed, Professor Boladi nodded and analyzed the patrol guards magical identification mark in reverse.
Professor Garcia.
Yes.
Professor Garcia cast identification marks on the groups clothes as if he understood without being told.
Even if they entered the city, they wouldnt be easily detected as long as they had these magical marks.
-Wait. Let me offer my opinion.
?
When the squeaking hamster spoke, everyone looked at it puzzledly. Even the captured and battered patrol guards did the same.
Student Lee Han. I have something Im curious about.
-I am Antagondals. You mages should know this. Im currently trapped in this body due to circumstances
No. I know youre Antagondals. Student Lee Han told us.
-
The hamster felt slightly embarrassed.
And then felt even more bewildered.
Usually when carrying around an evil mage criminal in a cage, wouldnt you hide that fact?
-He told everyone about that?
Yes? We dont know what kind of dog I mean, what kind of tricks the mage might pull, so of course we had to tell them. What if you enchanted me with evil magic?
-
Logically speaking, it was the right thing to say. It was just annoying and irritating.
Professor Garcia couldnt wait and interrupted.
What I was curious about was why you keep carrying this hamster around?
Ah. Since hes the oldest among everyone here, I thought he might be helpful. He probably knows a lot about ancient times too.
This was also logically correct, excluding emotional rejection.
Professor Garcia thought to himself.
Ive thought this before, but Student Lee Han doesnt seem to fear associating with dangerous people too much.
Of course, Einroguard had pushed excessively dangerous individuals in front of Lee Han, but it was also true that he had adapted to it too well.
-Stop chattering and listen to my opinion first. These patrol guards must be killed immediately.
The hamster spoke strongly since his own safety was also at stake.
The other mages were in full condition, so even if they died in this past dimension, they could somehow restore their souls and return, but the hamster was currently in a severely weakened state.
If they were all wiped out, the hamster would suffer the greatest damage.
What, what did you say!
Thats impossible! How dare you kill patrol guards of the Kingdom of Margada!
The patrol guards shouted in rage.
These outsiders of unknown origin had not only captured the kingdoms patrol guards but now dared to try to kill them?
-Look. If we leave them alone, theres no telling what they might do. There are too many spells we dont know about to just tie them up or subdue them. We cant create unnecessary variables.
In the Three Kingdoms era, there were too many strange spells the hamster didnt know about.
If there was even a spell to track down missing patrol guards, things would become troublesome.
-I know you Einrogard mages are soft, but right now
Oh, but mage sir. I wasnt thinking of tying them up or subduing them.
Lee Han carefully interrupted.
In the current situation, Lee Han also had no intention of leaving the patrol guards here.
-Then?
Well probably have to enter the city anyway, so I was thinking of having these patrol guards serve as guides.
-Didnt you hear me say not to create unnecessary variables?
Yes. I thought about that too. But wouldnt it be much safer if we transformed them into hamsters and kept them in cages so they cant cause trouble?
Professor Boladi nodded as if his disciple had made an excellent judgment.
The hamster listening was speechless and hesitated for a while before speaking.
-I dont understand why you Einrogard people arent called mage criminals.
