After that, we left the dungeon once and I alone transitioned at once with the three kidnappers to the castle's prison.
　Normally when you take these adventurers to the transition gate, they will inevitably stand out. It would be troublesome if my fellow slavers saw them and escaped with the whole ship.
　I will also contact Relisha-san and tell her the details of the matter. Of course, the three of you will be forfeiting your guild cards and will be struck off the register. From now on, you will not be able to register again, even if you use a false name. The Adventurers Guild will be out of business.
　So much for the Adventurers' Guild's punishment.
　They trap new adventurers who don't know anything and kidnap them at every turn and sell them to slavers. This is a very serious crime. By the way, applying the law in Regulus, the penalty was death without question.
　But alas (?) The thing is, there is no death penalty in Brunhild. It's not that we don't have it, but we haven't made it. Now, as I was wondering what was going on, I remembered an ancient magic I had recently read about in the "Library".
　Dark magic is basically summoning magic, but in ancient times, other magic was also found in the dark attribute.
　That is, the opposite of light attribute and recovery magic. It is the opposite of the light attribute and recovery magic, which is the magic of death that takes away life.
　Of course, it's not possible to make your opponent die that easily. You'll need an enormous amount of magic, skill and mental strength. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm going to be able to do it, but I can't imagine that I'm going to try it.
　It's not that I'm going to use death magic on these three kidnappers, but I'm going to use a different kind of magic derived from that magic. I'm going to use a different kind of magic derived from that magic.
　We're going to use a different kind of magic derived from that magic: "life absorption," "disease onset," "fear granting," "mental confusion," that kind of magic.
　In simple terms, it's a curse. It's not that I don't like the idea of a curse, but more simply, it's a promise.
　It's a promise. It is a promise that you must not do something, or you must do something, and a punishment for breaking the promise. This is the magic of the "curse". It is also known as the "Finger-cutting spell, if you lie, I will drink a thousand needles.

Bind me, O Darkness, and punish him for his sins, Guilty Cursed.

　The curse is invoked on the three people in the prison. The condition is simple: "Do not commit any sin that hurts others. If you break this, even the smallest of sins will result in the paralysis of one finger at a time. Eventually, one arm and one leg will be paralyzed, and as the curse progresses, the five senses, such as sight and hearing, will be lost, and eventually the heart will be paralyzed, and the person will say goodbye to the world. If you commit a major sin, you'll be done with it in one shot.
　By the way, this is a granting system of magic just like 'enchantment', so even if I die, it won't affect me. In other words, the curse cannot be lifted.
　I'm going to have to be very careful to explain the contents of the granted magic to the three of us. 'Hurting people' isn't just physical. It is also activated by hurling verbal abuse and deeply wounding the hearts of others. It can be triggered by stealing things and hurting the owner's heart; it can be triggered by a woman who confesses to him but he refuses, and it can be triggered by hurting her heart, and there is no mercy in that trigger.
　The only thing that saved your life is your life, which would have been a death sentence, so you'll have to bear that much. You're going to be a good person at best.
　I don't believe it's possible for me to live my life without hurting others. If we lived a self-sufficient life in the middle of nowhere, it might be possible. But it would save my life. I hope you're glad this isn't Regulus or some other country.
　When the three of them heard the details of the punishment, they turned blue and sat down. A pattern, the proof of the curse, was floating on the foreheads of the three of them.
　Eventually, the fatty among them said to the skinny nopper, "You're the reason we're doing this! I began to blend in. Oh, didn't these guys listen to the explanation?

'Whoa! Ugh! Oh, I can't feel my thumb! It's not working!

　Fatty pinches his own fingers and cries. No wonder. Your statement hurt Mr. Skinny Nopo deeply. He was punished for it.
　Now that you understand the effects of the curse, it's time to expel him from the country and say goodbye. Well..... I can ask him to go to Euron, if you like. There are a lot of people who say bad things about me there, so maybe they'll take pity on me.
　The three of us will use the Gate to transfer them to a suitable location in Euron. Well, that's settled.
　Well, it's not done yet. Now we have to deal with the slavers.




　Waiting for the sun to set, I was heading back to the forest near the dungeon. I'm sorry, but the four newcomers had to wait in this forest until now. And with the four of us who were supposed to have been caught wandering around, there's no telling where we'll come apart at the seams.
　It's a good thing that Lean was there for me, so I didn't get attacked by any magical beasts.
　From there, we all traveled by "gate" to the island where the slave ship was docked. All four of us were surprised at the first transition.

Well, well. "Well, give me your weapons. It's not right if the person who captured you has one.

　All four of them honestly handed me their weapons, so I put them away in 'storage' once and took out the rope and gag instead. With that, I tied the four of them up. Of course, it's the kind of binding that can be untied quickly.
　That and a small hatchet rat-like summoning beast that I summoned with my summoning magic and kept it in Rop's bosom. This gives me some idea of what's going on inside the ship.
　And to finish it off, I use "Mirage" to fly one of the three people I flew to Euron, and it changes its appearance into a thin bald man.

''Well?''
''It's just like him......... As expected of a king, it's amazing........

　Rop gives me an honest opinion. The same "Mirage" is used to project the remaining two illusions on either side of him.
　Each of the four men will be gagged and have the phantom of the fat and skinny knotty man with a sword standing behind them. This would make it look like they were being threatened and taken away.

'What about Lean? Would you be caught the same way?
'No thanks. I'll keep an eye out for anyone running off the ship.

　Paula raises her hand in the air with a shudder. All right, then, let's head to the location of the slave ship.
　On the north side of the island, underneath a sheer rock wall, the boat floated, hidden in the darkness.
　Two boats were tethered to a nearby beach, and four men were roasting fish over a campfire beside them. Three of the four men were slaves.
　All of them seemed to be strong-looking men, probably combat slaves. The remaining one was a man with bucktoothed teeth who looked like a low life form. He looked somewhat like a Kansai comedian. We left Leanne and Paula in the forest at night and approached them.

'Oh. It's another hard day's work. Four of you in one fell swoop, you did a great job.

　The bucktoothed man spots us and walks up to us with a tight smile on his face.
　The bucktooth continues to walk around us, stamping out the four people bound with ropes.

''The man gets two gold coins and the woman gets five, eh?
That's good. I want my money.
Ororo? You're not sticking around today, are you?
I'm in a bit of a hurry.

　I mean, if you talk too much, they'll know. But five for two gold coins? Roughly 200,000 to 500,000. So you buy someone else's life with that, these guys.
　Then they'll sell them to rich people for several times that amount. I took the gold coin from the buck-toothed man who was laughing unpleasantly, turned on my heel and left.
　If I looked at that face any longer, I'd probably punch him.
　Returning to the forest where Lean was waiting, I deactivated the 'Mirage' and returned to my original form.
　I used my 'long-sense' to skip my sight and keep an eye on them, and after finishing their fish, the four of them rowed out to sea with two people in each of the two boats.

'I guess we made it undercover first,'
'Now if only we could successfully contact the other captured adventurers. How many of them are presumed dead?
''I checked with Relisha-san and she said there were still ten of them. All of them were found in a puddle of blood, only the guild card was found, and they were all marked as dead. Let's see, I think there were four men and six women.
There are more women than men.
'I think it's simply because it's money and easy to catch. They were all rank black amateurs.

　I've heard that other guilds also do this kind of rookie bullying. They force you to join their party, use you as a decoy to lure monsters out, and then take away more than half of the rookie's reward by claiming it's tuition money. Of course, the rookies who get beaten up will leave the guild or go hunting solo to avoid any trouble. It's disgusting.
　There are people in every world who make fun of newbies and rookies. We were newbies in the beginning, too.
　Anyway, I hope all ten of them are safe. I don't think they're selling them as slaves, so I don't think they're killing them. But that's not the same thing as saying that they weren't killed.
　I synchronize 《Synchronize》 with the mice that I let Lop have vision. I could see the dimly lit deck of the ship. It looks like we've safely boarded the ship.
　Furthermore, her hearing is synchronized as well. I can hear those voices over there. Incidentally, this is the last time you can synchronize. Because I had my taste buds in sync once, and it was a terrible experience. I didn't want to know what a bug tasted like.

"Master Javert. There were four of us today.
Really? That's not too bad. The guy and the girl are young, and they're going to sell for a lot of money.

　A bucktooth with four men in tow approaches the little fat man on deck with a rubbing hand. Apparently, this guy is a slaver.
　He was wearing a rasa jacket and a silk sash with a gold-decorated dagger attached to it. He wore a pair of shoes with a curved tip and a disproportionate turban of sorts around his head. He looks like a phony fat Sinbad.
　Javert, you know. Most likely a slaver for Sandra's kingdom. And illegal.
　You can't just kidnap people and make them slaves in Sandra's kingdom, which recognizes slavery. Slaves are those who have committed crimes and those who wish to be bought and sold at will.
　But that's a myth, and there are many ways to reduce people to slavery. You can drive a person into debt or make him commit a crime on purpose and then reduce him to slavery. And kidnapping them without anyone's knowledge is one of them.
　Even if the person is known to have been set up, there is no acknowledgement of what they say once they have fallen into slavery. No matter how much he cries about being tricked or kidnapped, he will never be freed from slavery.

'Here, over here! Don't grouch!

　A rope tied to a protruding tooth was pulled and the four of them were taken aboard the ship.
　There is a narrow cell at the bottom of the ship, on the lowest level of the ship, where all four of us are placed. There are two cells, one on the left and one on the right, divided into male and female. There are four men and six women. They are probably the abducted adventurers. Rop and the others were also divided into men and women and thrown into the cells.
　After confirming that the bucktooths were leaving the bottom of the ship, Rop and Klaus, Fran and Ion went around asking for the names of everyone in the same prison.
　I gave them the names of all the adventurers who were kidnapped so they could make sure they were all safe.
　Some of the adventurers are in low physical condition, but they don't seem to have been treated roughly for now.

It looks like everyone is okay. If it were true, it would be easier if we could just transfer through the Gate.
Let the boys get some experience, huh?
Experience is just getting off the ship, right?
'Oh, my God, you don't want to be seen by the enemy, you need to be aware of your surroundings and assess the situation as it arises. Isn't that a valuable experience?

　Leanne smiles at that. Well, maybe.
　The lops at the bottom of the ship begin to prepare for the escape. I gave each of the four of them two items beforehand.
　One is a small folding knife with a blade span of about five centimeters. Of course, it's not just a knife. It's a knife made of shards of frays and can cut anything. With it, it's easy to escape from the prison.
　The other is a tape measure about a meter long. If you pull it out and extend it, you can use it as a whip that will produce an "enchanted" "paralized" effect.
　There are also combat slaves on this ship. If they fought properly, Rop and his friends would have no chance. Besides, those combat slaves might be forced to follow them.
　The key is cut off with a knife and quietly slipped out of the prison cell without making a sound.

It's time for me to get moving too. That way it will be easier for those kids to move as well.
Have a good day.

　He breaks synch with the hatchet rat and flies away from the forest, with Lean seeing him off. Staying stationary above the slave ship, he pulls out Brunhild and reloads the ammunition in the magazine from paralyzing bullets to a weak 'Explosion' loaded, explosive bullet (weak).

'Let's get started then.'

　I aimed at the main mast of the slave ship and drew Brunhild's gun claw, the "Hikigane".
