Materials are available!
Of the next few children, except Jian who also obtained a light elf with independent consciousness, the others, under Suwey's training, obtained higher-level elves that matched their physiques.
With the help of these higher-level elves in suppressing and consuming magic energy, the strength of Alice and the others not only leaped up several levels, but they were also no longer in danger of death.
Before leaving, Suwey collected all the giant elf fragments nearby. These giant elf fragments were exactly the last few materials that Suwey lacked.
Seeing that the children were happily chatting with Rimuru, Suwey took some time to open the refining workshop.
Regarding the activation interface, it is still a garbled text.
Although he didn't know why this happened, all Suwey could think of was that Rimuru allowed the needle to penetrate his body that day and was eventually cut off by the system.
But he didn't know what information he had obtained from Suwey's body, and he even forgot how to invade and analyze Suwey's body.
Invading from the outside would probably be a very difficult task.
Therefore, the refining that Suweyyi wanted to complete wholeheartedly was to change the current situation from within his body.
But now the great sage in the refining workshop seems unable to be refined.
Suwey has always felt that the system has no bugs. After all, the origin of this thing may be a divine creation beyond any civilization, or it may be an alien invasion.
Therefore, Suwey never gave the system any trust at all. The refining workshop, which had no thoughts of its own, was used as a tool by Suwey.
After all, he still uses the things in the refining workshop today, and many of his weapon capabilities were obtained from the refining workshop.
But Suwey did not completely believe in the Refining Workshop. He was not sure whether the refiner would listen to him or not this time.
If you don't listen, you'll just get a small system. Even if you're monitored, it doesn't matter. How can it compare to the system itself?
Ramiris has decided to go to the Demon Kingdom where Suwey and others are. Although she has no plans to live there permanently, she also plans to be well-fed and well-served there.
So she made a request to Suwey.
She asked Suwey to move here when he returned to the Demon Kingdom, and take her to the Jula Forest to spend a few months. Once she felt comfortable, she might decide to live in the Demon Kingdom permanently.
Although he didn't know what Ramiris was trying to do, Suwey could sense by intuition that it was definitely not a good thing, so he could only agree reluctantly.
Now that the matter is over, the violent energy in the children's bodies has been suppressed and may even be successfully refined, so Suwey and his entourage have already made plans to return home.
Moreover, they have wasted a lot of time here recently. Although they occasionally move back to the Demon Kingdom, they are still very worried that Hinata Sakaguchi will attack when they are not paying attention.
"We should be able to leave in a few days."
When they left the capital of the Kingdom of Ingracia, they passed by the place where they fought with Hinata Sakaguchi, but the potholes there were completely filled up at some point and repaired to the point that it was impossible to tell that a great battle had ever taken place there.
And there was indeed no feeling that anyone was spying nearby, so Suwey temporarily relaxed his vigilance.
After returning to the academy safely, they began to look for the dean, intending to hand over their teaching positions.
The dean quickly agreed to arrange for a new teacher to take up the post within a week.
During this week, Suwey also planned to take a final look at the growth of these children.
"Let's go to the street and take a look today."
Since arriving in the royal capital, Suwey has often gone out and enjoyed all the specialties of the Ingrassia Kingdom in the nearby streets. His entire salary is not enough to cover the food, and he has to ask for more money out of his own pocket.
Suwey knew that these children had been "confined" to school due to their physical conditions.
Baby bird!
This scream instantly brought Rimuru's memory back to a time that seemed to have passed a long time ago.
On that clear and crisp day, he also met his death with such a scream.
The man named Mikami Satoru had already put in all his effort just to save his junior.
But now it's different. The slime named Rimuru will not be hindered by such things.
Moreover, in this Ingrassia Kingdom, He still has some confidence.
With his current strength, a mere small knife cannot cause any harm to him at all!
Just when Rimuru was about to stop the robber from escaping, a hand suddenly stretched out and stopped his action.
"What's wrong?"
Of course, Rimuru didn't want to ruin everyone's shopping mood by carrying such a thing.
Moreover, in this royal capital, there are still a lot of food waiting for His arrival. How can He stop here?
"Don't worry, just leave this little thing to them."
As soon as the shouting was heard, Jian Ye and others, who had been tied up with ropes by Suwey and not allowed to run around, turned their attention to the robber.
If it were in the time and space they originally existed in, or if they did not have enough strength, Suwey would definitely stop them from taking action, but in this world, the strength possessed by Jian Ye and others is a level that many people may not be able to reach in their entire lives.
Even if the robber had decent strength, he was still not enough to defeat these kids.
The original intention of letting them out today was to let them see the scenery outside, but it would be nice if someone could let them test their strength now.
After all, these children face Suwey and Rimuru all day long.
And the opponent is not that simple either.
The short robber had half of his face hidden under his hood. When he felt the sword coming towards him, he suddenly stomped his feet on the ground and his whole body flew towards the sky.
Jianye's full-strength sword attack was avoided by his opponent. He looked confused, as if he had never expected that his proud sword attack would be easily shaken off.
"There is still too little practical experience."
Suwey looked at Jian Ye, who had forgotten to put away his sword after striking it, and held his forehead with his hand and sighed.
The opponent was not a master with rich practical experience, he just jumped higher, and Jianye was shorter in stature, so the two took advantage of the height difference to avoid the sword's edge.
If Jian also turned around and handed over the sword at this time, the robber falling from the air would have no way to escape and could be easily defeated.
Ke Jian didn't expect that his signature sword move would be dodged like this.
But the person following Jianye reacted and he... quickly covered his face.
"Ryouta's personality has always been a problem, but it's pretty good that he didn't suddenly go berserk because of being scared with so many people around."
Suwey did not completely prohibit them from using magic, but only did not allow Jian to use fire, and did not allow Liang Tai to go berserk, etc. After all, these two abilities could hurt passers-by and turn good things into bad things.
The robber looked at the boy in front of him who suddenly covered his eyes in surprise, but did not pay much attention to him and continued to run away.
"You're useless! Let me do it!"
Alice, who has been the most popular recently, stepped on the two of them first, then threw out all the dolls hidden behind her, commanding the strongest magic steel doll, and got into position waiting for her opponent.
Seeing this, Suwey also shook his head.
Leave!
"Water Prison!"
A ball of water suddenly surged up from under the robber and wrapped him up.
In order to prevent him from running away, Chloe even lifted the water ball from the ground to prevent him from getting any leverage.
In this way, there was no other ability, only a fast and quick-witted robber who was caught.
Before the guards arrived, Suwey came to the prisoner, looked at the thing he was holding tightly in his hand, and frowned slightly.
The loot was not anything particularly valuable, but a bag of ordinary black bread.
The guards from the royal capital quickly arrived and took the prisoner into their hands. When they learned that it was the little girl in front of them who had caught the prisoner, they all looked at her strangely.
However, there are many talented people in this world, and the little girl in front of me is probably one of them.
Suwey stood in front of several students and told them what he had just summarized.
"The reason you almost let someone escape this time is very simple. It's because the other party was prepared to escape, but you didn't."
This is what Suwey thought of just now after discovering the true appearance of the criminal.
"consciousness?"
The words were unclear, and even Rimuru couldn't quite understand them.
Generally speaking, shouldn't this be a gap in ability caused by lack of practical experience?
Suwey shook his head and motioned for everyone to follow him. Rimuru, who was confused, was the first to follow Suwey.
"Teacher Suwey, why do you give him money?"
Teacher Jianye's tone was slightly dissatisfied. In his heart, Suwey's status was almost the same as Miss Jing's, and seeing Suwey showing a slightly materialistic side, he naturally felt a little uncomfortable.
But Suwey ignored him. It was too early for Jian Ye to learn about these social customs, and Jian Ye's personality was not suitable for doing these things.
Of course, Suwey had his reasons for giving money to these gatekeepers.
Everyone knows that the little devils are difficult to deal with, and these guards at the gate are the most difficult little devils to deal with. They are qualified to guard the gate here, and most of them have some connections with people in the outer city. If you don't have a good relationship with them, you will not be able to move forward in the outer city.
Especially in the dark, there are people watching these students all the time. Jianye and others are strong, but they lack practical experience and mentality, and cannot be compared with the veterans who come out of here.
Suwey just brought the children to see the real situation, not to fight with the people from the outer city. Even if he could kill all the people nearby in an instant, could he really do that?
Moreover, Suwey didn't intend to let these children see him killing people.
Why make so much trouble when it can be solved with a little useless money?
With the gatekeeper's greeting, no one came to cause trouble for Suwey and his party after they entered the outer city, so they had a smooth journey and arrived at their destination.
Compared to the outer city, this place is even more desolate and dilapidated.
No one could have imagined that there was such a place in this seemingly extremely developed royal city.
It was very quiet here. Apart from the occasional chirping of insects, there was only a slight chill brought by the breeze.
This place seems like a forgotten place, even wild dogs are reluctant to come here.
It was a dilapidated house with only beams left. Although one could tell from the outline that it was once a church-like place, the church was now in ruins.
Nourishing the Heart
Faced with such a young man, Suwey naturally had no intention of bullying him.
So he took two steps back, allowing the sword standing behind him to reveal its face.
Given Ken's recent obsession with swordsmanship, he would never let go of an opponent of the same age who also wields a wooden sword.
"Teacher Suwey, let me do it!"
So Jianye laughed loudly, drew the wooden sword from his waist and rushed towards the young man.
It was the first time he met someone of the same age holding a sword, and the other party did not look like a weak guy, so he drew his sword first, making the wooden sword make a dull thud in the sheath.
The moment the wooden sword was swung, the young man had already arrived in front of him.
"ha!!!"
Although Suwey had never been taught to shout like this, at this moment facing the enemy, Jian couldn't help but let go of his throat and took a breath in his chest.
Under the impact of this energy, his bones and muscles made a crisp sound, the muscles on his forearms bulged, holding up a piece of skin, and then he swung his wrist, and the wooden sword cut a brown-black track from bottom to top.
Bang!
The wooden swords collided with each other, and the opponent's fierce downward strike was broken by the sword with a single pull.
Both of them were very strong, and Jian Ye did not use the huge energy in his body. Instead, he used pure swordsmanship and physical ability to fight his opponent head-on.
Obviously, the opponent did not expect that his sword would be broken like this, nor did he expect that the opponent's strength was much greater than he imagined.
Under Suwey's influence, Jian Ye has recently begun to pursue a combination of swordsmanship and magic, and both of these must be practiced to near perfection in order to achieve the best results.
Alice and the others were shocked and wanted to help, but before they could move, they were stopped by Suwey.
In this battle, both sides used wooden swords. With Kenye's physique, even if he got beaten, he could just rest for a few days. However, the experience of actual combat with people of the same age was very rare, so he couldn't let them ruin it.
Moreover, after possessing the upper-level spirit, Jian also reached the state of sharp hearing and sharp eyes. Suwey also deliberately trained in this aspect. As long as Jian calmed down, he could definitely avoid the swung wooden sword.
If you don't calm down, you will just get beaten up and fail.
Hearing the anxious voices of his companions behind him, Jian still couldn't react to the pain of being tricked by the enemy, but at least he quickly realized that this couldn't go on.
So he retreated regardless, using his blurred vision to try his best to capture the boy's attack.
He stepped back so suddenly that the young man's wooden sword missed him. Although he fell to the ground without paying attention, he quickly stood up again.
Seeing that his sword missed, the young man rushed towards Jianye regardless of anything, and stabbed Jianye's heart with the wooden sword in his hand. The young man attacked very fiercely. If this sword hit, Jianye would probably suffer some physical pain.
But at this moment, Jian Ye also wiped away the gravel in his eyes. Seeing his opponent stabbing at him with a sword, a look of astonishment flashed across his face. Then he hurriedly raised the sword and held the wooden sword across his body to block the opponent's surging momentum.
Bang!
There was another heavy muffled sound, and Jianye's body retreated several steps backwards. His feet slipped and he fell to the ground. The young man had already used his sword, and his strength was reduced by 70%. He was now panting like a cow, so how could he pursue him?
When hooligans fight on the street corners, they don't just rely on the sharp weapons in their hands. The things lying on the roadside are often their killing moves.
The young man threw away the gravel he had just picked up from the ground, and his body followed the stone as he pounced on Jian Ye. He saw that Suwey and others were not planning to attack, so he focused on chasing Jian Ye, waiting to knock down the people in front of him one by one.
When Jianye saw the stones flying all over the sky, his already suppressed anger intensified, but he always remembered what Suwey said, that he could not use magic, so he could only sweep the wooden sword in his hand in panic, and screamed when he was hit by the stones.
At this time, the young man also landed in front of him. He swung a sword, which fell on Jianye's shoulder.
Street Thugs
I saw a figure falling between the two of them.
He held the wooden sword with orange flames in his left hand and pointed his right finger at the center of the stone brick.
Then, Juhuo disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he had seen something terrifying.
The stone brick in the boy's hand seemed to have turned into powder quietly after thousands of years and drifted away with the wind.
Suweyyi slapped both of them on the forehead, making a loud thud.
"What are you doing? Are you going to kill someone? Kill him?"
Of course, Suwey didn't want to watch the two guys fighting each other, Jianye and the boy named Jem. There was only one final result of the battle, and that was Jianye's victory.
Because Jian had just activated the energy in his body, even if he was hit on the head by a brick, at most there would be a few red marks on his forehead. As for the young man who did not have any powerful energy, he would probably be burned to ashes on the spot.
So Suwey's action could be considered as saving the young man's life.
Suwey's words were also a reminder to Jian Ye that he should be more rational and let them come here not to cause trouble.
After Jian was stopped, he quickly realized that what he was doing had already exceeded the restrictions originally given to him by Suwey. He was not allowed to use magic, but the other party was not a gentleman, and he used some shameful means one after another.
This trip was originally just to let these five children know the world, so Suwey shook his head and did not listen to his explanation.
Rimuru stepped forward and sprinkled the healing potion in his hand on the two of them. With a flash of green light, the wounds on their bodies healed in the blink of an eye.
The boy was not stupid. When flames burst out of the wooden sword in Jianye's hand, he knew that he might be in big trouble today. Now that the other party took out this thing that could heal wounds in an instant, even he was shocked.
Jem is not an ordinary commoner. He used to be the son of a noble family in the city, but his family fell into poverty and ended up in this state.
But Suwey is not stupid, and he can see the outline of the surrounding area clearly.
He could see that in the nearby church, a group of guys who looked like scoundrels were holding knives and sticks, banging and hitting the side of the church, as if they were torturing the people still in the church.
Although it was unclear what exactly happened here, Suwey was certain that the church was not in good condition.
"If you want to treat us as thugs, at least tell us who you have offended."
Suwey thought about it. Although he didn't intend to get involved in such matters, there were several students in front of him after all. Suwey wanted to see what kind of judgment they would have on these things.
When the young man heard what Suwey said, his expression suddenly stiffened.
He did want to let the two sides fight each other to fish in troubled waters and divert attention, but he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly.
"Huh? This guy wants to use us as thugs!?"
Jianye is now very dissatisfied with the young man. He also knows that he has made a fool of himself today. Not only did he fail in catching the robber, but he also achieved a good result of "draw" in the battle with an ordinary person.
Although the opponent was a little older than him, the sword had been trained by Suwey and Rimuru after all. In addition, they had powerful energy in their bodies, so it should be easy for them to deal with ordinary people.
Jianye originally intended to save some face, but now he had no face left. He already knew that he would probably be trained twice as hard when he returned, so he wanted to teach the young man a lesson.
But Suwey was blocking him, so he could only stand there obediently, glaring at the young man.
"snort!"
The young man also sneered and ignored Jian Ye, but turned his gaze to Suwey. He could see that Suwey might be the most powerful among this group of people. Even the boy in front of him had to listen to him.
"We have offended the local tyrants here, and all the money you gave us last time was taken away. Now they are coming to take these children away, so I took them and escaped first."
Noble?
There were a few other people in the church.
The oldest among them was an old nun in convent clothes.
The faces of the nuns behind her all showed a reddish color of shock and anger.
The old nun waved her hand, signaling the nuns behind her to be patient.
"So, that master must take these children away from us? Did he ever tell us what he was going to do?"
The expressions of the ruffians in front of him were full of impatience. If the big man behind them had not forbidden them to kill, everything here would have been burned by them long ago. Why would they bother nagging the old woman?
"How would we know about the Viscount's affairs? If you ask again, I'll kill you!"
This was the first time he had done this, so he was not clear about the process. He only knew that it was a request from a noble lord, so he was very anxious now. After this was done, he would be able to leave the outer city and guard the gate. Wouldn't this be more enjoyable than being a scoundrel?
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Now, if he does this, he can get what he has always dreamed of. He will do whatever it takes to accomplish it.
So the old nun's appearance of not letting them take away made the scoundrel's expression even more vicious.
"You old woman, you're looking for death!"
The ruffian raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit the old nun on the head.
Boom!
However, the wooden stick did not hit the old nun's head directly as he expected. It did not even have the chance to fall before it was caught in the palm of the hand of someone who suddenly appeared behind him.
"I can't let you continue to fight."
Suwey stood there, the dark shadow covering the ruffian's head. He held the top of the wooden stick with his fist and gently exerted force, and then sawdust flew everywhere as if he had crushed a piece of tofu.
The ruffian's face changed immediately. As someone who often beat people with wooden sticks, he would choose very strong wooden sticks that were as thick as his forearm. These sticks hurt a lot when used to beat people, and they were very easy to swing. When they hit the flesh, they would give very good feedback.
"Thank you for your help."
The old nun first bowed to Suwey and the others, and then her colorless eyes swept over Suwey and his group, as if she was thinking about their purpose.
"It's a small matter."
Suwey let the children go aside and play with the children in the church, and sat on a chair, chatting with the old nun.
"This isn't the first time this has happened! Sister Anna! We don't know what happened to the children they captured before. Nita has been taken away! Jem and the others must not be taken away again!"
The nun standing by had an angry look on her face and accused the group of guys in a very fierce tone of what they had done to the church last night.
This was not the first time this had happened. As nuns, they had stayed in this church for several years, and most of the children they took in were forcibly abducted. Jem and his group were the last group and the youngest children.
Without a pass, they had no way to leave the outer city, let alone the royal capital.
Moreover, many of these children are only five or six years old, and it is impossible for them to leave here. It is estimated that the nobles saw this point and kept these children until now.
If they come to rob people again today, I'm afraid they don't intend to give the church any chance to survive.
"Ah! It's a pity that the one who wants these children is the Marquis of the capital. If we want to stay in this Ingrassia Kingdom, we have to obey him."
The old nun looked helpless.
"Mr. Marquis?"
Suwey narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that. No wonder the ruffian was so tough just now. After all, he did have a good background. This king had dozens of marquises, and they were all related to the royal family to some extent.
"How did Sister Anna know that a marquis was behind this?"
As a marquis, he would never let others know about this embarrassing thing, not to mention that the person in front of him was just a nun in a dilapidated church.
Suspicion!
Suweyyi left the church alone and decided to help the children in the church.
Rimuru and the students couldn't just sit there and watch these things happen, especially the kid named Jem, who knelt down in front of them when no one was around and begged them for help.
So Suwey and Rimuru decided to go to the Marquis's house at night to take a good look at the whole picture.
"Teacher Suwey, will they be okay?"
Alice expressed her doubts to Suwey.
What happened today was unexpected to everyone except Suwey who arranged this trip.
He also planned to take a good look at the strength and character of these children.
Although the conclusions we have reached now are not satisfactory, we can be sure that the children are no longer in poor health and their strength is growing step by step.
These children are kind-hearted and have the courage to help those who are suffering.
Next, it was Suwey's turn as the teacher to solve their worries.
"But the problem with that old nun is quite serious."
It is now night.
The bright moon hanging in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, revealing a shy silver thread. The candlelight coming out of the door on the street stretched out a long orange strip along the crack of the door.
Two figures stepped on the orange strips, cutting the long reflection in half.
One of the dark figures suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the darkness.
"Hmm? What do you mean? Is there something wrong with that old nun?"
Running side by side with Suwey was Rimuru, who was also wearing black clothes. He was a little confused when he heard what Suwey said.
It turns out that even the nuns in the church were nuns who graduated from the old nun a few years ago, and now they have returned to the old nun to take care of the orphans.
They are also illiterate.
Since they and the old nun were illiterate, how did the old nun know what was written in the letter?
"Perhaps someone read it to her?"
Rimuru felt that he had once again found a loophole in Suwey's reasoning, and interrupted Suwey happily.
"Let's not even talk about how many people in this outer city can read. Even if the old nun found someone to read the letters for her, how could the Marquis, who took so many children away, have done so to promote 'nine-year compulsory education'? And even to train them to write neat and parallel characters?"
Suwey rolled his eyes. The Marquis's house not far away was different from the street he just passed. It was brightly lit, with music playing and laughter everywhere. It was obvious that an exchange party was being held.
But Rimuru's mind is not on this. He is now looking for an opportunity to refute Suwey's words. This is also a new way of playing that he has just found.
"So, what is 'nine-year compulsory education'?"
Rimuru blinked, trying to get away with it.
When Miss Jing makes such an expression, anyone here other than Suwey would be shocked by this cute face.
"Tsk! Don't come at me!"
Suweyyi slapped Rimuru's face, pushing the face that looked exactly like Miss Jing to the other side. He knew Rimuru's true nature, that was the Mikami Satoru who was full of computer stuff.
He doesn't want to "force history to be locked up."
"Anyway, the noble lord wouldn't spend that kind of money and time. For something like this, it would be better to hire a proper spy with that kind of money."
Suwey did not discuss meaningless topics with Rimuru. Just now, he had decided to take a good look at the contents of the Marquis's mansion tonight.
Although time was running out and he did not inquire carefully about the information about the Marquis, tonight's mixed banquet was a good opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters.
Damn!
The party at the Marquis's house seemed to be a masked ball.
Suwey left Rimuru, who had changed into a formal suit, behind him, knocked the two young nobles unconscious, and grabbed the invitation letters hidden in their shirt pockets.
With this thing, Suwey and Rimuru can become the invited members.
As for the mask, Suwey wore a black eagle-eye mask, which covered the upper half of his face while exposing his eyes that were like stars. There was a faint smile hanging on his angular chin, which was very charming.
Suwey also took advantage of this exposed part to hook up with several girls with big buttocks, and entered the Marquis's house surrounded by them.
When Suwey was playing around with several noble girls, he looked back and saw that Rimuru had successfully captured several older young women with his beauty and cuteness.
So the two of them walked into the mansion under such circumstances.
"Ladies, are there any fun activities tonight?"
Suwey pulled his arms, and the soft thing collided between his arms. The aristocratic girl who was well-fed and well-clothed obviously had a different charm. Suwey, with the mentality of not taking advantage of the opportunity, picked his arm again.
"Little brother, don't you know? The Marquis's house has new goods arriving tonight. Let's take a look and see if there are any new things as tender as little brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, Suwey's expression restrained slightly. He now probably understood why the Marquis' family collected children.
These ladies and nobles came here, probably to find "toys" that would satisfy them, and these toys should be the children abducted from the church.
"Oh? New stuff? Then I'll have to rely on you sisters tonight."
Saying nice things doesn't cost money and can also gain other people's favor. Naturally, Suwey would not be stingy with a few words to make a few noble ladies happy so that he could take advantage of the situation and enter the Marquis's mansion.
"Interesting."
This has turned the transfer magic promoted by Yuuki Kagurazaka into a hotbed of crime. This Marquis has some ideas. If he had not come with these noble ladies tonight, but had come alone secretly, he might not have been able to find any clues.
Suwey was surrounded and brought to the small round plate. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Rimuru not far away, being held in the arms of several kind-hearted and plump ladies and being stuffed into the "elevator".
After a moment of trance, the world in front of me was bright again, and at this moment, everything in front of me was completely different from what I had just seen.
There was a constant noise in his ears, and the mixed voices made people feel upset. Suwey looked carefully and saw that no matter whether he had seen the people before or not, they were all lined up in front of the gate, waiting for the auction to begin.
The platinum-colored door in front of them has not yet opened, but everyone is already looking forward to what kind of wonderful "toys" will appear in the auction later.
Since they wear masks, it means they don't want others to see their true faces. Knowing what happens here, there is naturally no distinction between high and low status, and everyone relies on money to speak.
There's no highs or lows here.
"What would you like today, sir?"
"I heard that the Marquis has a batch of good goods. If I can get one that I like tonight, it will be considered a profit."
"I heard there's a young man in his teens with red lips and white teeth on this trip. I wonder if you're interested, sir?"
"Of course I want to pocket it."
Dirty words spread throughout the hall. In this place where everyone wore masks, viciousness broke out without restraint. The nobles abandoned the reserve they usually pretended to maintain and completely vented the darkness deep in their hearts.
In this place where you can get whatever you want, as long as you have money, you will be able to buy the person you like sooner or later.
Start!
In the pitch darkness, a magic circle appeared on the red carpet in the center.
This is a very familiar formation, and Suwey recognized it at a glance. This thing is the formation for transferring magic.
As the magic circle dissipated, a small iron cage appeared in the center of the auction hall.
When they saw the person in the iron cage clearly, the nobles around them let out shrill shouts.
"Finally it's here!"
"Finally, the wait is over!"
"I want this!"
Accompanied by such loud shouts, the young man in the iron cage hugged his whole body, and his eyes, hidden behind his long hair, looked at the nobles around him with horror and despair.
The emcee standing there clapped his hands, and the sound coming from the loudspeaker brought a brief silence to the venue. Then the emcee put the loudspeaker to his mouth and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today, arranged by our beloved Marquis and his family, the semi-annual auction has begun again! For this commemorative day, let us invite the Marquis to speak at this auction."
The host's words made Suwey frown. The auction was held every six months, and it was obvious that there were more than just the children in the church who would be auctioned. And there were more than just churches in the outer city that Suwey and others went to.
The darkness in the Marquis's mansion was obviously deeper than he had imagined.
When the transfer magic was running just now, Suwey also took the opportunity to probe his magic element over there. Unfortunately, he did not track where the other end of the transfer magic was, and there was no place where the hostages were held in his knowledge of the surrounding area.
Therefore, Suwey judged that the locked-up "goods" were not in the basement of the Marquis's mansion.
Since this is the case, Suwey cannot act rashly. Their first priority now is to rescue Nita.
The person who followed him raised the price to five gold coins in a few breaths, and the one who finally bought the boy was a noble lady wearing a bright red mask. This noble lady was the one who brought Rimuru here.
Suwey saw the noble lady standing up, as if she was standing out from the crowd, so he thought, if he didn't make a noise now, when would he make one?
So Suwey moved his fingers, and a stream of magic burst out from his fingertips, and suddenly drilled into the back of the lady along the middle seat.
Then everyone could see that the plump woman, who was leaning on the eaves, slipped and fell from the second floor of the middle floor with a loud bang.
Falling from this height wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone kill them, so everyone present burst into laughter, just treating it as a joke.
"I guess this lady is eager to take her things back to play?"
Everyone thought so, even the lady who fell thought she had slipped.
Suwey's attack left no trace, just to give Rimuru a chance to escape from there.
Rimuru was not stupid either. Suwey gave him this opportunity, and he seized it. He left the middle level, hid his figure, and came to the transfer magic on the lower level.
According to Suwey, Rimuru cannot take direct action to stop it now. He can only take action after finding the place where the hostages are hidden and confirming that the children are locked there.
So He just analyzed the transfer magic and waited for a new round of transfer.
"Well, since number one has been bought by this noble man, let's take a look at number two!"
The emcee did not give the crowd too much time to laugh at the lady, and he quickly moved on to the next step. Although there were not many "goods" to be auctioned tonight, he could not waste time because he knew very well how interesting the goods would be later.
The transfer magic flashed and the magic circle showed a blue-green light in an instant. As the mysterious words disappeared, an iron cage appeared in front of everyone.
Underground!
"Use the transfer magic now?"
Rimuru looked at Suwey and asked what he should do now.
He was inclined to go to the underground of the imperial city immediately and rescue those children.
But Suwey stopped him.
"Who knows if there's someone waiting on the other side? If we suddenly teleport over without knowing the details, we might just run into them."
There is a special magic circle above the royal capital that isolates the transfer magic inside and outside, but within the royal capital, there is an opportunity to use transfer magic in places that meet the regulations.
Suwey's idea was that if he wanted to go under the imperial city, he had to be cautious, although Suwey was confident that he could kill all the people nearby the moment he moved underground.
But what if someone leaks the information, causing the people monitoring the hostages to take action and harm the hostages or even the target of the mission?
So Suwey stopped Rimuru who was about to take action.
"What should we do then?"
Rimuru opened his eyes wide and asked hesitantly, "He doesn't know what to do now."
"When we transfer next time, we will kill time. The moment the transfer magic circle appears, we will cast the magic at the same place. Combined with the concealment magic, they won't be able to detect our presence."
Suwey didn't have any good solution. He didn't have X-ray vision, and he couldn't go to the palace now. It was late at night, and the palace was not his home. Could he just go in and out as he pleased?
Unless Suwey intends to kill all the guards in the imperial city, he will only alert the enemy.
The auction is only tonight, and the next one will have to wait until half a year later. Half a year is too long, and Nita probably won't be found.
So the matter must be ended tonight. If it is confirmed that there is no other way, then we can only break in by force, and then we can only kill people below the palace.
"Suwey, look!"
Rimuru conveyed a message to Suwey, and his tone hinted at his impending rage. It was obvious that his emotions were about to reach their limit.
After pausing for a moment, Suwey still did not find the first target of his operation.
What's going on? Nita should be here too!
The girl with long fiery red hair must be as described by the church nun, and she can be identified at a glance. After all, most of these children have blonde or black hair, and very few have other colors, and there is no fiery red hair at all.
"Isn't she here?"
Suwey's heart sank. If that bastard Marquis had another place hiding hostages somewhere else, then tonight's action would have to be reconsidered.
But then Suwey shook his head.
At the Marquis's mansion, Suwey had confirmed that there was no one else there except the servants and people who came to the auction, and the emcee also said that this auction was organized by the Marquis's family, and it was impossible for them to take the girl away alone.
Although he didn't quite trust Rimuru, he had great trust in . A great sage with analytical ability couldn't possibly fail to notice that there were other magic circles there.
Since she didn't mention it, then there probably wasn't any. Besides, tonight was an auction, and all the goods would be sold directly except for the ones they liked. There was no reason to leave Nita alone, unless...
Suwey thought of something not so good.
It expanded rapidly, and in just a few seconds, Suwey swept through the underground cell.
At this moment, the girl was fainting on the bed, and beside her stood a well-dressed young man, his eyes greedily scanning her figure, and a pair of hands reaching out towards her.
Something really happened!
