I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 100: THE REAL PURPOSE OF THE TRADERS FEDERATION

Elos really felt strange because the sick slave must have a cheap price, so why did these smugglers bring 7 sick slaves to escape?

They left 900 slaves in the Grol Inn only for sick slaves, Elos was convinced that there was something strange here.

"Take me to the place where these 7 slaves are" said Elos.

"Okay, sir!", cried the soldier who was taking Elos with Riona and Kronev to the carriage.

The soldier took Elos and the others to the middle of the train among the dozens of chariots of these merchants, this made Elos feel even more strange because the horse carriage in the middle was supposed to be the most important horse carriage.

If there is an enemy that attacks from the front or rear then the most middle horse carriage can still be protected in time, so it can be seen how important the position of this most middle carriage.

There were already dozens of soldiers who seemed to be looking for something, the soldier who brought Elos explained quickly "They are looking for the key of this prison, and they are looking for the key, no matter how we tried to find it, we couldn't find the lock on this train. In fact we started thinking that the lock of the prison might be hidden in another train".

Elos nodded slightly, the soldier opened the door of this sizable train where Elos found a room that looked like a prison.

Elos looked at this prison to find 7 people around the prison, based on their age then Elos believes these 7 people are at the age of 15 to 25 years.

As Elos continued to stare at them, Elos face was a little gloomy as he could actually feel the black aura throughout this prison, it seemed like these 7 people had no normal illnesses at all.

As Elos was about to approach the prison, Kronev stopped him immediately "Master, I already know who these 7 people are, you better not get too close to them".

"You know them? Kronev, is it open that you have only come to this world since I called? How could you possibly know about them?", asked Elos who was confused by Kronev.

Kronev shook his head and looked towards the prison "Master, they are all children who have been cursed by the gods. Did you never hear the legend? Even the world I came from, I have heard this legend even though I have never met a cursed child in person. But I don't think that all of the cursed children that are 7 people will be here, it seems that the Merchant Federation has other plans against the Ray Kingdom. Their goal of smuggling these slaves was not for money, most likely they were smuggling so that the master would not find these 7 slaves and their plans against the Ray Kingdom".

Elos's face became even more cautious, as Kronev seemed to know very clearly about these 7 slaves "Explain more, actually who are the children cursed by this god?".

Kronev began to tell it "First, before the appearance of the gods, humans and demons were not the most powerful but some other races such as the Elves who had spirit magic, Dark Elves who are experts in poison and black magic, Dwarves who can make weapons invincible, Dryads who get support from nature, Half Dragons who have dragon power and human intelligence, Vampires are very hard to kill, and Titans have terrifying powers".

"After the appearance of the gods, the 7 races who previously led this world had to lose and hide in the corners of the world so that humans and demons would not attack them again. The gods were still worried that these 7 races might work together for revenge in the future, hence the gods decided to curse them. Once every 100 years, the strongest child in their race would be cursed so that they were not far from death".

Elos was a little surprised at the story, he said doubtfully "Why did the Merchant Federation gather these children? Are they not afraid of getting cursed as well?".

"Master, I think their goal is to take these children before throwing them into the territory of their enemy. I don't know what kind of enmity they have with the Ray Kingdom, but if the 7 cursed children live in the Ray Kingdom then there will be massive sickness and death spreading throughout the Ray Kingdom", kronev explained.

Elos was again surprised, it turned out that the purpose of the Federation of Merchants smuggling slaves into the territory of Elos was not to avoid taxes, but rather to keep Elos from knowing their grand plans.

Before Elos could say anything more, a woman's voice rang out from the prison "What you say is true, but it has little fault. The reason they smuggled 1000 slaves to was to cover our existence which was these 7 people, our main delivery destination was Duke Heirith who was the 3 great dukes in the current Ray Kingdom, he said, more precisely these 3 dukes had such great power that it made the king worry that the power of these dukes would replace them someday".

"Not to mention Duke Heirith famously always disagreed with the king, this made the king even more worried that Duke Heirith would betray him someday. Therefore, the king decided to use us and trick Duke Heirith through the Federation of Merchants, instead then the Ray Kingdom should help the Federation of Merchants to resolve a matter".

Elos was increasingly attracted towards the purpose of this Federation of Merchants "Then, what problem would make the Federation of Merchants have to seek the help of the Ray Kingdom?".

The woman in the prison did not immediately reply, but instead directed her eyes at Elos "I don't mind telling you about this, but instead you have to pass 1 requirement from me. I will not inform you of this requirement now, this requirement will not harm you, if you think this requirement is detrimental then you can reject it later".

Elos thought for a while before nodding "As long as the terms are not excessive then I can do it for you, in exchange for the information you provide".

The woman tried to smile as best she could, although she had to feel a very strong pain from the curse on her body "I didn't hear it very clearly, I did, but their goal seems to be related to the existence of a newly built kingdom near the Merchant Federation and the Ray Kingdom. After helping to kill Duke Heirith, the Ray Kingdom must help the Merchant Federation destroy this new kingdom".

Elos's face turned cold, knowing that the new kingdom between the Ray Kingdom and the Merchant Federation belonged to Elos.

What Elos had never thought before, the barren land that was once referred to as the land of the dead then was now a golden land that many other kingdoms targeted. Perhaps ever since Elos turned the Barren Land into a prosperous one, there were many people who were interested in seizing this land.

Elos suppressed his anger and asked again "You've told us the information, say the terms you meant".

The woman said with her best smile "Can you kill me and the other 6 people in this prison? Let us stop feeling this pain that we were born with!".

Be it Elos, Riona, Kronev and the soldiers around were shocked at the requirements of this woman. Elos was prepared for all the possibilities, but Elos never thought that the requirement of this woman was to kill him along with his comrades in this prison.
