The Legends Of Creator Hero
The underground black market, Darkness

The morning had come, the air was cool and the wind was blowing peacefully. It had been a long time since the last time she felt this kind of peaceful feeling and a refreshed body upon waking up. Even so, the bitter taste on the tongue can still be tasted, as if a great threat had been before the eyes.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes!"

Hearing that, Rigel immediately hit the gas, with a Trail motor suitable for rocky roads. Together with Tirith behind him, who uses a helmet and clothes from the earth in the form of long black pants and white clothes. Rigel himself wore a helmet with a black jacket and pants.

Rigel's goal on this trip was to find traces that Priscilla might have left behind. Rigel had told Tirith that Priscilla was missing and he voluntarily wanted to help. Because there was no reason to refuse, Rigel finally let Tirith come along and created a Trail motor that is commonly used in the mountains and uneven roads.

"Wahaha, this vehicle is even faster than the Dragon carriage!"

.

Tirith clung to Rigel's waist while enjoying the strong winds that rained down on him. Rigel could not do anything, it was natural for him to feel very impressed by this.

"This thing is called a motor that is used to make it easier for people in my world to travel long distances. Hold on, I'll increase my speed."

Leaving behind those words, Rigel gasped and fused with the wind with Tirith who laughed strangely.

They scour the forests, encounter Goblin-like monsters on the way but Rigel dismissively bumps into them without feeling guilty. He sometimes also fired at those who were blocking with a gun so as not to reduce their speed.

After driving quite a distance and almost reaching the border of the Ruberios Empire, they paused for a moment to rest. So far, Rigel had not sensed any trace of strange Mana in the air. She still remembered what the color of Mana belonged to Priscilla, especially when she used her fairy power.

"So far there's no sign of anything. I want to know how to go, it's just that Sylph hasn't found a trace of him."

It's even hard for Rigel to look for him. There were no strange traces in the air or anything unrelated. The clues they had were so few, that it was difficult to determine where Priscilla was going.

"It would be different if we knew which way he went so as to limit the area to be traced."

"You're right. It would be a lot easier if we just searched one place. But we don't have a single clue as to which direction he's taking."

Priscilla's goal is to find Rigel, but it's clear that she doesn't know where Rigel is. Priscilla just woke up after 1000 years. There's no way he knows anything about Rigel who's built the country.

If possible, he will use his limited knowledge of the past in places that are most likely to summon Heroes.

It could also be that Priscilla is looking for information about new countries that did not exist in her lifetime. If he had heard the name Region, he would have thought that the one who built it was Rigel.

Just in case, Rigel had also made anticipation for it. He had asked Asoka to send people to identify every person who entered the Region and people who wanted to meet him.

"Maybe we should spread the word like, umm, about you who are trying to do something. It's like a wedding..." Tirith began to flutter while giving her advice.

If you think about it again, it's not a bad idea. Since it was Rigel, the Hero who led the other Heroes and the one who defeated Hydra alone, news of him would definitely be easily spread. Not to mention he had connections with the Ainsworth family who had an extensive information network. It doesn't seem like a bad idea and of course, Rigel didn't mean to spread engagement or anything. But something else.

"Your father may be Tirith, let's do the idea. Surely I wouldn't spread about marriage or anything, yeah, you perverted little girl. Just because you did that one night with me you immediately wanted to go home with me."

Rigel taunted Tirith who instantly blushed to cover his face. Rigel had thought of a good thing to spread.

Ah right, speaking of Ainsworth, I asked them to look for Dwarven slaves or people who are experts in forging weapons. Inner Rigel.

"Alright, let's go Tirith. We'll go to Ainsworth's residence first."

That way, their next destination has been determined and Rigel uses his motor to get there. Although Teleportation made things easier, he still wanted to feel the pleasure of driving.

It took almost half an hour to reach Ainsworth at full speed. Rigel and Tirith now arrived at the branch residence on the edge of the city and received a warm welcome. The soldiers and service looked at her with a gaze that Rigel did not understand, especially the female servant who blushed whenever her gaze met Rigel.

"Well, well, I didn't expect to get your visit so soon, Mr. Rigel and even the rare opportunity to get a visit from princess Tirith."

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Natalia Ainsworth."

Tirith slightly bowed and gave a gentle smile to Natalia. Rigel had never understood such formalities and had no intention of learning them.

They were led into the living room and had a friendly banquet. Natalia tells him that Walther is not at the residence because he is looking for a teacher for his two sons. Rigel did not care much about it, but it seems that the nobility began his education at a young age.

"So, what brings you here? are you finally going to decide on your wedding date?"

"D-no!" Tirith began to flirt when Natalia teased him a little. It seems that not only Rigel, but Natalia is also happy to tease Tirith because she has a funny reaction.

"Keep that aside. My goal here is to ask for information about the Dwarves and spread some bird news. Then, since you're a merchant, I want you to handle a few things."

Natalia becomes very interested, she may already smell the money. Really, traders are terrible.

"If so, you've come at the right time, Mr. Rigel. We have actually obtained what information about some of the Dwarven slaves, but their place is a problem so we can't get it for you."

Rigel is amazed that the Ainsworth family is really working fast. In a short period of time, they had discovered the existence of Dwarves. It is unfortunate that they cannot buy it, but knowing its existence is enough.

"Where are they?"

"... The black market underground, darkness."

It is not surprising that such a place really exists. Such markets should be illegal, as they also trade in people.

"For some reason we can't touch the place, because it can ruin our good name and will lead to some conflicts. I got this information from some slave traders that there were some Dwarven slaves who were made as gifts."

"Gift?" Rigel muttered involuntarily.

"Darkness is not only the center of the black market, but they have a familiar show fight, Fight To Death or fight to the death." Tirith explained.

"That's exactly what the princess said. As the name suggests, it was a tournament where two teams with a maximum of 5 people fought to the death or one of them gave up and gave away their most precious item. It became the main attraction of the Darkness black market and not to mention the tantalizing gift it gave to the ones standing at the top."

"If there's such a place, why isn't anyone trying to exterminate it?"

It would be absurd to let such a place exist. If on earth, maybe it is similar to the drug market and the like.

"That place was in a small country that had great warriors. Not only that, some nobles and countries who wanted to obtain quality slaves would naturally support and protect Darkness. Even if the three great nations joined forces to eliminate it, there would definitely be political turmoil arising." Natalia explained.

Rigel never understood politics and really didn't want to get into it. Rigel could understand what Natalia was trying to tell him. In short, there would be more losses than gains from eliminating such a place. Not to mention, Rigel knew that every country in the world needed slaves, because they did not need to pay them. The more slaves they had, the more prosperous the country became.

"I understand, thanks for the information. The rest let me handle it. Next, I want you to spread the word that 'Creator Hero Amatsumi Rigel is looking for quality slaves and open up anyone who has them to come to the Region' like that. Then one more thing, I want you to come to the Region and become our trading partner to sell some useful items from my world."

With the news that he was looking for slaves and in addition the Region had great created items, it would certainly invite more and more people to visit him. Rigel deliberately listed his name, hoping that the news could reach Priscilla's ears so that there was no need for her to search with great difficulty.

"It is an honor to be a trading partner of a superpower like Region. I understand, I will immediately prepare for departure there because I have never visited it, it will take time to get there."

"Ahh, no need to worry about that. I'll send someone to pick you up."

"All right then."

Leaving those words behind, Rigel escorted Tirith back to Britannia while he returned to the Region to deal with some matters. Looking for Priscilla is indeed primary, but if the plan goes smoothly, it only takes time until Priscilla comes alone to him. For that matter, Rigel would do something else.

I need people who are proficient in forging and handicrafts in order to make the Region self-sufficient and able to make products from the earth, even without my presence there. Next destination, the underground black market, Darkness!
