The Assassin and The Blind Saint
Arc 2 Chapter 7: Partners
The byurrr!
“Huh? What the hell is going on!? Where is the Patrol Guard damn it—”
Bamm!
Senior Hans hit the man's face wet from the flush. He grabbed her hair and put his lips closer to the rebel's ear.
“Listen to me, trash. This junior who is beside me will ask you a question. If you don't answer or give false statements, I'll guarantee you'll be the dinner of the wild animals that are in this forest, understand?”
Hearing Senior's threat, the rebel simply nodded.
“Alright, our time is limited so for now I will only ask you no more than three questions.” I approached him and looked into the eyes of the rebel.”Where's the slave auction you just went to?”
The rebel fell silent and looked around. Perhaps he wanted to know how their comrades fared.
Bamm!
“Aghhh!”
“Jawab question!” Senior hit him back. This time, a tooth came out of his mouth.
“Good! Alrighty! Can you stop that!? About 4 KM from here, east of the forest. There will be a cave that will take you to an underground tunnel. If you follow him, then you will come out exactly where the auction is held.”
“Alright, second question. How does someone get in there? Do they have some kind of secret code to allow entry?”
“Yes, the guardians will ask you ‘Why are real men more attracted to women's chests than their bottoms?’ you have to answer ‘Since a real man will only talk to a woman face to face’ you will be given in if you say like that.”
What the fuck is the guy who made the code like that? Bawdy guy, huh?
“Alright, third question. How did you guys get these slaves?”
Hearing my question, the rebel simply averted his eyes. Could it be that he disagreed about this as well?
Bamm!
“Jawab the question is stupid!” The rebel nose was bleeding this time.
“The average human slave we got from the Guard Patrol we caught. We get Demihumans from our connections with these overseas people. That's all I know I swear..”.
I think he's a good guy and only follows the rebels just because of circumstances.
“Alright, because you have cooperated with us. In court later, maybe you'll be lightened to your sentence.”
After our interrogation, Senior and I discussed what to do next.
“Then, what will we do. Our mission is to investigate, right?”
“Ya... I think we should go to that auction to gather more information. I think we need a disguise to get there. I saw a lot of nice clothes and some masks in one of those rebel carts.”
We then replaced our uniforms with the clothes that were on the carts of the rebels' chariots. We also use a mask so that our faces are not recognized.
“Sirius, how do I look?”
Senior Hans wears a white blouse, a black suit, a tie and white gloves. He was like a butler of a great nobleman. We immediately rushed to the east of the forest.
Moments later, we arrived at a cliff. Below it is a large cave. We then went down the cliff and entered the cave.
“Senior Hans, view.”
I found a chariot wheel trail in this cave. We then traced this cave whose path began to decline, winding and uphill. Shortly after, we saw a gate guarded by several people. We then approached them with a possible supernatural attitude.
“Why are real men more attracted to women's chests than their bottoms?”
Seriously, who uses this sentence as a code? I then glanced at Senior Hans and he also glanced at me. I made a gesture with the blink of an eye so that he would answer the code. I don't want to answer that perverted question from anyone else.
“Because a real man will only talk to a woman face to face.” Senior said that sentence very naturally.
Could it be because he was used to saying perverted things to the Vice Chairman?
After answering their code, the men opened the gate. There was a large room with lights that illuminated the entire room.
How could they build a basement this big? Senior and I then walked into the room. There are many people who wear masks like us. They were looking around at the slave who was in the cage in the iron bars. It seems that not only the auction, here there is also the sale and purchase of illegal slaves directly.
Even though it is in the ground, this place also does not feel hot. What secret?
“Hey Sirius, look at the iron bars there.” Senior Hans pointed his hand at a large tent in which the slaves were kept in brackets.
“I think I recognize one of the people in that cage.”
Senior Hans then moved closer to the tent. I followed from behind.
“Girlfriend! Can be chosen! These slaves of ours are of very good quality!”
A crow masked promoter attracted the interest of the people who were here.
“My guess is right, look at that burly guy over there. He is Daniel—Member Patrol Guard City of Koninburg. I heard he disappeared a few weeks ago. We have to free him, Sirius.”
I then saw a man locked up and chained to his neck in the corner of the tent. It seemed that he was not the main slave that the promoter wanted to sell.
“We have a special item today!” Two men pushed the two carts and opened the cloth that covered them.
“Hoooh!
Taper ears, smooth white skin and beautiful hair. That figure was a female Elf. On the side wagon looks like a human. However, the figure had a bushy tail and fox-like ears. That figure was a female fox man.
“Tnight's special is…! Elves and fox humans are enchanting!”
Senior Hans and I walked up to the promoter. The people who were near this tent were watching us with question mark expressions.
“Dee from his clothes, is he a big noble?”
“Shhhh! If he hears you, you'll be in trouble you know.”
People were whispering about us.
“Ah Dear sir, is there any of our goods that attract the attention of master?” ask the promoter.
I then looked at the Elf and the Fox Man. Their expressions looked limp and had no life motivation. With a body like that, I think many will buy them here.
“Hey, I bet she'll pick that pretty Elf. It was only natural that the Great Nobles wanted an Elf”
“I bet 1 Golling he would prefer a nice body of that fox man. However, I doubt the promoter will give a cheap price.”
Hey, I can hear the whispers you guys know. I then raised my hand. The spectators were seen watching the movement of my hands closely.
“I choose.. The man.” I pointed to the iron bars where Daniel was in the brackets.
“…!”
“…!”
People were surprised by my choice.
“I think he has an unusual orientation.”
“I also often hear rumors of such orientation being popular among the nobility.”
I told you, I can hear your whispers. What orientation are they really talking about?
I then looked to the side to find Senior Hans was holding back a laugh.
“Hahhh... Then, how much is a man's price there?”
The promoter seemed a little speechless aware of my choice.
“A-ah it is yes..only 1 Golling sir. Actually, we've been trying to sell it. However, no one is interested in buying it.”
I gave him a piece of gold in my pocket. That was my savings for two months. We approached Daniel who was sitting down.
“Hey, Daniel..”.
Hearing his name on the call, he then raised his head and looked at us.
“H-huh? Hanss—“ Senior Hans quickly shut up Daniel who was about to shout.
“Shhhh! Stupid, you want me to save no?”
Daniel only nodded hearing Senior Hans' words.
After we finished the transaction with the slave trader, we then looked for a place to chat to find out details about how Daniel could end up being a slave.
“So Senior was packed for a week at the rebel headquarters before being taken to this auction? Does Senior know where the rebel base is?”
Hearing my question he just shook his head.
“My eyes are always closed by something every rebel took me.”
“Do you... Does Senior know the place where seniors are sealed by these slave sellers before being brought here?” askaku.
This time Senior Daniel fell silent as if he was recalling something. “Kurasa about 2KM from north direction. I was sealed in a cave in which there were wooden houses.”
“Is it... Thanks for the information Senior.” I then turned to face Senior Hans.”I think Senior and Senior Daniel can go home first to the headquarters. I'll find a place where the illegal slave sellers keep their slaves so we can raid them next time.”
“Good.”
Senior Hans and Senior Daniel then went back to the place where we raided the rebels. I don't think it's gonna be long until the logistics department gets there.
I then started rushing to where Senior Daniel was pointing. The night is getting late. The sounds of forest animals began to sound. The air temperature becomes cooler.
After a few minutes of walking, I saw a cave not far from where I was. I saw in the distance some people who were guarding the entrance of the cave.
Four guys, is it? Can I destroy them all without being discovered.
“I think you can beat them without knowing.”
I then turned around to hear the voice of a woman who responded to what I was thinking. The sound of footsteps sounded. Not long after, a beautiful woman was seen. He has shoulder-length brown hair. His smile looks very voluptuous able to make the men who receive it will fall by its charm.
“For a long time no see, Sirius. My Partner.”
