Chapter 25: Slave Auction
"Ah, so this is the asshole that's stalking us, huh?"
"Certainly,"
The Demon King takes care of these conspirators. Actually, he could have easily caught them, but it was a little risky. The Demon King's aura was very easily perceived by anyone, it could make the Kingdom party suspicious later. That's why I closed that gap with my Mana.
And this bastard is a member of Golden Blood. A ridiculous name, just like the Black Sect. I still don't know where Maryna got the information on Golden Blood from, maybe she bought the information from the Guild.
"Queen, can I interrogate him?" ask the Demon King.
The interrogations? Does he have mind-reading magic?
"Do it,"
The stalker woke up. As he opened his eyes, he looked panicked as the Demon King looked at him.
"No! Nah! Where am I?!" He thrashed.
*jleb
"Aghhh!"
Maryna poked the stalker's leg and hand with an iron made from her magic.
The stalker fell silent while enduring the pain in his body. His tears came out as the Demon King started to cast magic in his right hand.
I feel a little sorry for him. By the way, what job does this stalker have? Huh ... from his appearance alone it has been seen that he is an Asassin. Just like the stalkers in the Maphas Kingdom.
My attention goes back to the Demon King.
The Demon King strangled the stalker's neck, yet did not strangle with killing intent.
Is that her magic?
Slowly the stalker's mouth opened.
Ah, he used this magic!
Something came out of his mouth. The Demon King pulled out all the curses that were paired on the stalker's body. The curse is in the form of a black lump.
It is common to cast curse magic on every member in criminal organizations. The goal is to keep secrets. If one of the members mentioned certain words, then the curse magic would activate and kill him.
"Now you are free to speak" said the Demon Lord.
The stalker was just silent in fear.
*Tok Tok Tok Tok
"P-pilot, Miss Alissa, are you going to dinner at the inn?" The voice of the rabbit woman outside.
He surprised me!
"Ah, we'll have dinner outside,"
"Is there something inside?"
"No, my two friends are just having fun,"
"All right," The bunny lady left.
Huuuh .. almost. It was my fault for doing this in the inn as well.
"Who are you?" The stalker asked with a flat face.
His pupils are reddened.
"He's controlled!" Maryna pulled out her sword.
The Demon King held him back. "Wait, Maryna,"
"I ask you again, who are you?" He spoke in a slightly pressing tone.
This controlling magic should be lifted with the curse magic.
"We are Adventurers from the Empire," replied the Demon King.
"What business do you guys have coming here?"
This bastard asked a lot!
I pressed his face with my right hand. "Hey, I don't need your bullshit, come here if you want to know who we are,"
"Tch! You don't know who you've been dealing with?!"
I tracked down the person who controlled it with my skill. As long as I touch it, it will be very easy to find it.
A few miles east. Big house, lots of care, in a spacious basement. Found it!
"Where Absorption." I absorbed the Mana. "Good sleep,"
"Did you find something, Queen?" ask the Demon King.
"The person controlling it is not far from here,"
"Then let's go!" Maryna quickly turned to her true form.
*No!
The Demon King hit Maryna on the head.
"Don't be in a hurry,"
It looks like the house belongs to the Baron. There was something in his vast basement. There was a path leading to another basement, a few hundred meters away from his house. No doubt, it's a slave auction place.
"You two, listen to me,"
I explained everything I saw to them both.
"So so. You mean the Baron house is a slave auction?" ask the Demon King.
"really. It was likely that the auction event would start tonight, it was evident from some people wearing masks coming to buy something at the entrance of the auction,"
I'm nodding. "We're going undercover, the person who was in control earlier must have seen our faces,"
The Demon King and Maryma bowed. "As you wish,"
------------------------------
Day Night.
"Are you sure you don't want dinner here?"
"We have some important business outside, Miss Melissa,"
"Alright, be careful,"
Uh ... The rabbit is really adorable.
All right, time to move!
I used teleportation to the area around the Baron house.
"It's time to start a plan,"
"Understand." Maryna disappeared immediately.
Maryna used the same high-level invisible magic as during the tournament in the Empire.
"Arys, from here on out, don't do anything reckless,"
The Demon King nodded his head.
Me and the Demon King walked towards the auction house.
I currently use the form Keres. It just so happened that Keres was wearing a long black dress like a Noble. Then, the Demon King .. he returned to his normal form. She also wore the dress she used to wear. Only, its horns could not be hidden. Luckily the guests were present wearing masks and other additional accessories. It's like a costume party. The Demon King would not be easily recognized, as some guests also wore horn accessories on his head.
We were right in front of the entrance.
"Please pass by." The guards opened the door.
We don't have tickets. The guard's reaction was caused by the magic that Maryna used. Maryna is currently browsing the auction site.
The bright light from the magic-filled lamp was dazzling, the guests walked towards the auction venue.
This place is really luxurious. It was simply impossible for a Baron to have such a luxurious place like this.
Me and the Demon King were sitting in the middle.
Very comfortable seat. Like in my world, this chair has cotton fibers in it.
Someone walked on stage. Wearing a white shirt dress with a bow tie.
"All right, ladies and gentlemen! The show's gonna start soon." The person spoke to the loudspeaker item.
Wait ... is this just a slave auction place? The existence of the item that the host was holding resuscitated me.
[His Majesty Arys, Queen Keres.] Maryna contacted both of us telepathically.
[Did you find anything, Maryna?] ask the Demon King.
[True, I found a prison that locked up slaves. I have also manipulated the entire guard with illusion magic,]
[Good work, get ready at your place,]
[Okay, Your Honor,]
Maryna is very smart. I am a little envious of the Demon King.
"For the first item tonight! We offer to the ladies and gentlemen!" The showman raised his hand.
The red curtain opens.
A woman stands with her neck chained. Her hair is blonde with long ears.
An Elf.
"This Elf is a Magic Caster! She is also talented at doing homework!"
The guests whispered.
"All right! We open with 100 gold coins!"
Pretty expensive price.
"500 gold coins!" Guests began to offer their prices.
600, 700! The terrible Nobles.
"700 gold coins! Does anyone want to add more?" ask the show host.
No reaction from guests.
"sold! Let's continue!"
The Demon King touched my hand. "Queen, the plan will start from here,"
I just kept quiet hearing it.
"We should have put this at the end! However, at the request of the host, then we will take out this good item at the beginning,"
Open curtain.
"Virioh ...." The guests were amazed by what they saw.
"This time it is ... The devil!"
Connect ....
