The Hidden Existence

Human Trafficking

As soon as Aris heard it, he immediately approached the person who was chatting earlier.

"Excuse me, what do you mean about the slave?" Ask Aris

"Ah, about the slave. Actually it's very secret. We cannot tell anyone the location of the slave trade" replied the man

"Yes, for fear of the royal army knowing the place and sealing the place" replied the other person

"So we can't tell you. This conversation is very sensitive. Not to mention, now many royal troops are disguised as ordinary citizens just to search for that information" the person said

"Then let me ask you. Do you know where the trade is?" Ask Aris

"I don't know. But, my friend who is a merchant knows where the place is" replied the man

"Will you tell me the place?"" Ask Aris

"I'm sorry, I can't tell anyone else, let alone you" replied the man

"Please, it looks like my friend is there" said Aris

"Do you promise not to tell the royal army?" Ask that guy

"Well, why am I telling the kingdom anyway? I believe that one day the trade will be discovered" replied Aris

"alright. But, you have to remember this only the two of us know" said the man

"Good" said the man

"Nia, I need you to return to the inn immediately. I will wait for you there" said Aris in a hurry

"Well, if that's what you want" said Nia

Nia went back to the inn. When they were finished at the shop. They both went to the merchant. The place of the merchant is quite far, precisely in the southern part of the capital Ketral. Not for a long time, they docked until they arrived at the merchant's place. The place was very neat and also a lot of items such as potions, swords, etc.

"Excuse me, is Roy inside?" Ask that guy

"Yes, just a minute" said Roy

"I'm sure he must be making some weird stuff again" said the person

"What do you mean weird stuff?" Ask Aris

Not long ago there was an explosive sound from within the person's merchandise. Aris who saw and heard the incident was very surprised. But that guy just relaxes. As if I was used to seeing similar events.

"What's going on?" Asked Aris in surprise

"That's what I mean by weird stuff" replied the man

"You mean he can make magic tools?" Ask Aris

"No, he can only make magic potions" replied the person

Aris and that person were shocked to see the merchant. Because his face was filled with potion liquids. The man asked the merchant.

"What are you doing?" Ask that guy

"I'm making potions. It seems like it failed" Roy replied

"What potion are you making?" Ask Aris

"I want to make a potion that can make the body hurt to be healed" replied Roy

"Are you crazy? In this day and age there are many people who can use healing magic. What are you thinking?" Ask that guy

"I knew. But, not everyone can use healing magic" Roy replied

"Have it stopped" said the man

"I will never stop until I can make my dream come true. By the way, what's the need for you here?" Ask Roy

"Ah, right. He wanted to know the location of the slave sale place" replied the man

"Oh, Eh?. Are you sure? It can make you a fugitive" Roy said in surprise

"I'm sure. Sure enough that my friend was there" said Aris a little annoyed

"Oh, so your friend has been sold, huh?" Ask Roy

"So, can you help?" Ask that guy

"I? Of course you can. But, to get in there you have to be three" said Roy

"Third, huh? It's hard to find 2 more" said the man

"Eh? Us? But are you sure? There the guards are SSS level magicians" Roy said

"If there's a threat, they'll all intervene to handle it. It's like they get paid" the man said

"Where are they from?" Ask Aris

"They are from the Magic Association" replied the person

Hearing that Aris was shocked and upset. Looking at Aris angrily, the person said.

"I don't know who you're looking for. But, we cannot destroy the slave trade. Not to mention he said there are people from the kingdom who cooperate with the business" said the person

"There, there's my precious friend. I knew him not long ago. But, his friends he was very much waiting for his arrival. Therefore, I will save him" said the man

"I don't know who it is. But, my friend and I will help you" said the man

"Yes, I'll help you. But, you have to shop in my shop a lot, huh?" Said Roy

"No problem, thanks Roy and so.." Aris said

"My name is Ijas" Ijas said

"Thank you Ijas" said Aris

"All right, let's look at the schedule. They're going to hold the auction the day after this" Roy said, looking at the calendar

"Alright, then we will gather here" said Ijas

"All thanks. Then I go home first" said Aris farewell and left

"Are you sure you want to help him?" Ask Roy

"I have been too. But this happened to my sister. So, I hope to help him as much as I can because the same incident should not be repeated again" replied Ijas

"I wish he had brought a lot of money. Because that place is an auction place not a market that is so easy to destroy" Roy said

"I forgot, I hope he understands" Ijas said with a small laugh

Upon arriving at the inn, Aris immediately told Nia to stay at the inn.

"What's wrong?" Ask Nia

"I've found the location where the slave was sold" replied Aris

"Keep, what are you gonna do?" Ask Nia

"They said the schedule starts the day after tomorrow and I will be with them at that very moment" replied Aris

"Am I really not allowed to come?" Ask Nia again

"I want you here to look after this inn" replied Aris

"Do you trust them that they'll help you?" Ask Nia again

"I believe him" answered Aris

"Then, I can't force it anyway" Nia said in relief

"Why indeed?" Ask Aris

"You are strong" answered Nia

Hearing that Aris was a little surprised and her face flushed red.

"Well, dinner is ready" Bela said

"Well, it looks good" said Aris

"I'm sure the cuisine is better than the ones in the square" Nia said

"Here you go, don't praise me. Quickly finish before the food is cold" said Bela

"Good" said Aris and Nia

Somewhere else.

"So, How?" Ask someone

"The preparations are over, we will attack after the day after tomorrow" said someone in the darkness
