271 # 271 Release, and death for the second time.







 For a few days after the small war with Sandra Kingdom, I was busy dealing with the aftermath.
 First, I decided to collect all the slaves in King's Landing (excluding slaves registered as criminals), and those who had a place to return to, I would give them a certain amount of money from the huge reparations I'd gobbled up from the Kingdom of Sandra and send them off at the "gate". If I had never been to a place I had never been to, I would be allowed to look into their memories and send them off.
 The countries of the East-West Alliance have been notified, so I should be able to return home somewhat smoothly.
 Of course, we also rescued the tribesmen of the Tree Sea who had been asked by Pam and the others to help them out. None of them were missing, and they were sent back to the Great Sea of Trees first.

''Yes, get in line. ''Don't panic, get in line.''

 Before the slaves pass through the "Gate", the "secret weapon" created by Tika and the Doctor at the "Institute" is used to neutralize the "collars of enslavement" and free them from slavery.
 Tika presses something like a needleless syringe on the collars of the slaves lined up. That's the artifact they created, "Initialize".
 To put it simply, it's a magic tool (artifact) that erases all magic granted to it.
 In a sense, it's an incredible artifact, an artifact. If you're in possession of this thing, the valuable magic artifacts from the ancient kingdom will be reduced to mere tools.
 If the warding on the island of the giant beasts was something that the islanders couldn't free, it is said that he created it as a means to erase it.
 To be precise, it's an "override" to give a powerful "nothingness" to the island. Of course, I poured that enormous amount of magical power into it. That's why it takes so long for anyone other than me to recharge it. It takes about a year for an ordinary wizard to recharge a single amount?
 Everyone in the Babylon Numbers neutralized the slaves' collars, and those who had removed their collars returned to their homes one by one through the "Gate".

 Naturally, some saboteurs appeared who didn't want to give up their slaves. But our knights held them down, tied them up, and threw them backwards into the cages where the slaves were kept.
 With a few exceptions, there were some who refused to free the slaves themselves. They weren't forced to do so, but they seemed to be satisfied with their position, so I let them do as they wished.
 In the meantime, though, the function of the collar was neutralized. The rest is up to her feelings. ........Some people have that kind of temperament, yeah.

 After freeing the slaves in the king's capital over the next few days, they now have to free the slaves in other cities.
 It would be troublesome if the lords of that city were to go up against them, so without a word, they surrounded the city with dozens of frame gears to eliminate any desire to disobey.
 In advance, they spread rumors that King Sandra had waged war against Brunhild and was easily defeated and decapitated. Sandra had threatened him that he was a defeated nation and that he would suffer the same consequences as the king if he disobeyed.
 In fact, she didn't want to do such a threat, but she dared to do so in order to ensure the smooth release of the slaves.
 Incidentally, that female slave who cut off King Sandra's head was asked to come to Brunhild because she said she had nowhere to go. Apparently she's a former adventurer, and I don't think she'll have any problems making a living.
 Similarly, those who had nowhere to return to and no one to wait for them crossed over to the country of their choice. Some crossed to a country they had never been to before, and others said they would stay in Sandra.
 Naturally, some wanted to go to Brunhild, which I accepted. We still had the land and the jobs, so if we were going to make a living, there would be no problem.

 I was lectured by Mr. Kosaka at length about what had happened, but he didn't say anything about the immigrants, since it was a positive thing that they had gained a work force. However, he regretted that if we had done a better job, we could have gotten more money for compensation.

 So it took more than a month to free all the slaves in Sandra. There were many people who tried to hide the slaves, so there were times when they would search for them and then go in. Most of them were slavers, though.
 Across the board, the slavers lost their jobs and, conversely, became criminal slaves. No wonder they kidnapped, imprisoned, and traded the citizens of other countries. They will be working in the slave mines for the rest of their lives. Since the master authority is on me, even the mine owner will not be freed.
 Some of them are legitimate (?) people who have not been involved in kidnapping in other countries. There were some slave traders, so I let them off the hook for that, as expected. I just think it would be safer for them to go to the mines as criminal slaves, though.
 To be honest, it is conceivable that freed slaves could return to Sandra out of spite for their past resentment and take revenge on the slavers and their former masters.
 But I have no right to stop them. The revenge is his. Then, if you are ready to be arrested, killed, or even become a criminal slave this time, do what you want. I hope you don't do something stupid when you've been set free.

 As for the criminal slaves, since some of them might have been imprisoned for innocent crimes, I decided to judge them with the Doctor's special lie detector, the Keeler Polygraph. Just say, "Innocent people, raise your hands. Well, most of them raise their hands brazenly.
 It depends on the degree of the crime, but I'm not Sandra's judge. As expected, I don't understand until someone with a complicated background of "tricked and forced to commit a crime and become a slave".
 Even so, I had Yumina's magical eye check as much as possible.

 It's not necessary for me to go this far, but since this is the time to do it, I thought it would be better to eliminate a certain amount of slavery. From now on, slavery is a form of punishment for those who have committed a crime and cannot be owned by an individual.
 At any rate, I'm finally going to be freed from all the work I've been doing. I've been so busy, I feel like a slave to my job.

 Ah, freedom is great!






I was wondering why this is happening...

 I thought I was out of trouble.
 I was once again in the audience room of Sandra King's Castle.
 Sitting on the throne in front of me was King Sandra, King of the Kingdom of Sandra, Abdal Jabba Sandra III. No, the former king, huh?

I'm not sure. There you are, you loathsome lord, the one who will avenge me!
'Wow....'

 The rotting raw head opens its mouth. The King of Pigs was sitting on his throne, holding his own head under his arm. His entire body had turned an earthy color, and his clothes, which had been kinkily, were tattered and dirty.
 As we saw, he was a zombie. Surprisingly, the corpse of that King Sandra had risen from the grave where he had been thrown away. I thought it was the work of an evil deity, but it had nothing to do with it; it had simply turned into a zombie. He was very attached to the world.
 The zombie king first attacked the prime minister and brought him into the fold. It seems that if a zombie eats a zombie's heart, it will revive as a zombie.
 After that, the number of zombies in the royal capital increased in a rat race. Since they were concentrating on freeing the slaves in other cities, the King's Capital had turned into a zombie city without them realizing it at all.
 There were other zombie generals and zombie ministers in the audience room. All of them had a uniformly earthy complexion and opened their mouths disheveledly. Something is coming out of their mouths, something is coming out of their mouths.

'Guhguhguhguhguh. "Guffawgghhhh, I have new powers and new slaves. You will be my slave, too. "Boo-hoo-hoo!

 No, buh-hee. Isn't this guy even more orcish now that he's dead?
 Turning a disgusted face, three men and a woman with a similar orcish look from behind the throne, a woman... right? appeared.

''Buhik, father's resentment is our resentment. Be prepared for it.

"You want to eat your brains out, don't you?
"Blah blah blah blah blah, the man who lives!

 Wow. Definitely an orc prince and princess. You've turned your own children into zombies too. But their faces look just like each other. I wonder if they're really human? No, I'm a zombie now.

"Blah blah blah blah! Who can match us in the body of an immortal? With this power, let the escaped slaves be mine again!

 You still say that, this guy. They say that you have to die to be cured, but that's a lie. You can't get well even if you die. I see that clearly now.

I've had enough of this shit. I wish you'd die, for God's sake.
"Shut up! You guys, get it done!

 The zombie general was the first to attack me, and I smashed his arm with Brunhild, but he attacked me again without a care in the world. It doesn't seem to be able to endure it at all. Even if it's a rotten zombie it's still rotten from the start.

''Guhihihihihi! You're wasting your time! This immortal body has no pain. Your attacks will not work.
Healing.
"Ugwuahhhh! Oh, it's hot! Hot! Ouch!''
Liar.

 It works. The zombie general is falling down seven times after being hit by recovery magic. The undead are a natural enemy of recovery magic.
 And to add insult to injury, the contents of the bottle taken out of the storage were sprinkled on him.

The only thing that can be said for this is that it's not a good idea. What, it melts! I'm going to melt my body. What is that, huh?''
What is holy water.
"Let me? Uhiiiii!'

 The zombie general vanishes in agony, blowing out smoke, as he evaporates. Many-manabu. This is indeed the holy water of the Ramish nation. It's very effective.

"You! Why would you do that?''
'What? Since we're going to be dealing with zombies, I'll bring it. By the way, I can also use a purification spell.
"What the hell? Phew!''

 The King of Pigs flails from his throne and tries to escape with a thud. The other zombies followed suit and began to flee as well. They're fast for a zombie.

Slip!
"Blimey!

 The zombies slipped underfoot and fell all at once. Some have broken their necks and limbs or have had their internal organs protruded from their bodies due to the impact of their fall. Zombies do not regenerate. They live on unless they are cleansed or their brains are destroyed.

"It's too much trouble. Come light, banish the brilliance, Vanish.

 The zombie vassals around me turned into light and disappeared under the cleansing magic I released.

''Gyaaaaah!
'No, no! I don't want to die again!'
"Disappear, disappear, disappear!

 Leaving behind cries of death, the zombie vassals disappear. All that's left is the Pig King family.
 And leaving the fallen Pig King behind, the Pig Prince and the others rushed towards me and jumped up and began to get down on their knees. I've never seen a jumping down on my knees before. I don't care, but the impact of the landing broke my leg.

"Buchy, we just did what we were told.
I had nothing to do with the pig.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
"You'll miss it, uh-huh.
"Hark, you bastards! You're going to betray my father!

 The Pig King shouted at the raw head that was still lying around. Hearing this, the four of them turned around and tilted their heads together.

''Buhi? Who was it?
"Nuh-uh-uh-uh!

 The pig king clenched his teeth as if his blood vessels were about to be cut, revealing his anger. I poured a bucket full of holy water over the four people who were laughing and laughing as they looked at it.

''Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!''

 The bodies of the four, or rather four little pigs, melt away with a great deal of smoke. And now, watching them, the Pig King cries out with a joyful smile on his face.

''Buhihihihihi! Look at them! 'Because you betrayed your parents, you fools!'

 What can I say.......they are truly inconsolable. The slaves who died because of these people doing whatever they wanted don't feel good about themselves.

"Pierce the light, shining holy spear, shining javelin.

 The spear of light magic is fed to the body of the Pig King. The body of the undead that received the holy spear is bobbed! The fire ignited, and he immediately turned to ashes.

''Wow, my body!

 The Pig King rolls to the side of the throne and stares at his body as it burns in front of him. Well. Let's finish up.
 I take out a large water tank from "storage". There's a large amount of water inside, but it's not holy water. It's normal water.
 In the water, I open a small gate and invite in a few creatures from the great river of Gau. The long, slender creatures, about 10 centimeters long, swim freely in the water. I then applied a light attribute to the creatures.

''Shit, what's that?
"The Candira is a top-rated fish from the Great Gau. It's a carnivorous fish. They love their rotten meat.
Well, you don't think...?
"Teleportation.

 Due to the shifting magic, the head of the Pig King falls into the tank. At that moment, all at once, Candira and the others bite into the carrion.

''No thanks! Kagombo, stop, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes! You're going to get your eyes eaten out!
Wow, you've got a hearty appetite, just like you said.

 Candira. A carnivorous fish similar to the Candiru, which was also found in our world.
 Candiru is a slender fish about ten centimeters long that lives in the Amazon River and other places, and is a ferocious carnivorous fish that devours the flesh of large fish and other animals, invades their bodies, and devours their internal organs.
 Apparently they are a member of the catfish family, but they are much more dangerous than piranhas, and have a habit of attacking larger prey in groups. Even humans are no exception. It's even called a killer fish.
 And Candira had that habit intact.

"Taka, help!
No. The slaves who were killed if I saved you would never forgive me. I wish I'd stayed under the grave with my head cut off.

 It reminds me of the slaves we found when we freed the slaves in this castle, who had died while tied up in the dungeons. It wasn't just the women, but also the corpses of children not yet old enough to be killed.
 That pig didn't feel any pain, and I regretted that it shouldn't have been an easy way to die, like getting his head cut off and dying or something like that. In a way, I'm grateful that he came back to life. More brutal deaths for that pig king! I wonder if everyone's prayers of "I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this" have been answered.

'Ugh! Gulp, get eaten, get eaten! Ouch! Ouch! Don't come in!'

 Candira is given the light attribute, so it will be painful. Since they are zombies, they won't suffocate to death. It would take a whole day for these Candylas to finish eating a head of meat.

At best, you'll be sorry for what you've done. I don't think the murdered slaves will forgive you, though.
'Buh, buhhhhhhhhh!'

 I wonder what percentage of a zombie's brain is lost before it dies. Well, it doesn't matter.
 I activate Vanish on the zombies in the entire capital except for the Pig King and wipe out the rest.
 So now, after Astal's capital, even the King's capital has become a dead city. There would be no reconstruction of Sandra in the unlikely event. I used earth magic to break up the ground of this city a little bit, so eventually this place will also sink under the sand.
 I'm sure the souls of the slain slaves will be comforted by this. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to be in the same situation.
