chapter 13
Girls under the moonlight (2)
I gently reached out and touched the statue.
Then, he infused magical power into the statue.
It is said that each family with a long history has subtle but slightly different properties of magical power depending on bloodlines.
And the evidence that my predictions were correct slowly emerged.
pedestal of the statue. The moonlight slowly converged on the metal slate with the name of Kiev written on it.
“…I knew it would be like this. Writers with miscellaneous settings like runes.”
The gathered light was in the form of a rune.
Satisfied from the start.
I stepped away from the statue with a small smile and walked over to Nias, who was wrapped in a blanket.
“Are you done?”
Nias tilted her head and asked.
“uh. it’s over. Now let’s go to the next location.”
Nias smiled brightly at those words and spread the blanket wide.
It means come in.
“Ech.”
Nias pretended to cough lightly.
No, that doesn’t work anymore.
“ha…”
I brushed the back of my neck.
Tring!
[I was hit by the night breeze. Premonition symptoms of a cold due to abnormal status sickness […]
damn. I get it. system.
As if I couldn’t help it, I stumbled into the blanket Nias was in.
I can’t help but feel nervous when my shoulders are attached.
“Ehehe.”
Nias smiled bashfully at me.
I had to control my mouth muscles well so as not to laugh at that laugh.
it is equanimity equanimity.
“So next… a well?”
There was a picture of a boy going down a well.
“There must be many wells here and there…where are they going?”
“Well. I’ll think about it while walking to the nearby well.”
Nias and I started walking slowly.
‘I wish it went smoothly like this…’
Of course, it couldn’t be smooth.
Suddenly, along with screams, men’s shouts rang out.
“Bocchan, this is…”
Nias clung to me as if hugging me.
I looked towards the alley where the sound came from.
The big men grabbed the hooded girl and pressed her to the floor at once.
f*ck!
With a sound, the men crushed the screaming and struggling girl on the floor.
“This bitch, stay calm!”
“Even if you run away! I made you suffer, so I will punish you later!”
At first, I was going to leave right away, but when I saw the seal on the back of the girl’s hand, I couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.
“…slave?”
The seal of a slave was stamped on the back of the hand of the girl who had been crushed by the men.
Slaves are only half-legal in this empire.
They may just be taking their own slaves… but aren’t they?
As I watched, the men holding the girl down glared at me and shouted.
“Go away! what did you see Little kids?!”
“If you don’t break into the house, I’ll take you as slaves too!”
I frowned at their harsh, snarky words.
“young master…”
Nias tugged at the hem of my clothes and whispered softly.
it means to help
I too was living in the modern age just 10 years ago.
The memory of life in modern times is still clear enough to be swept away by the system of slavery.
If it is a slave that is legally sold, you can just buy it with money and rescue it.
A lot of money. I am the son of a duke.
But it didn’t seem necessary to give them any money.
Those slaves are probably not legally traded slaves.
Slaves are usually passed down from generation to generation, and the slave seal is stamped at an early age.
However, the seal on the back of that girl’s hand was, no matter how you look at it, brand new.
In other words, there was a high possibility that it was the poor girl who was forcibly kidnapped.
That was when I decided to help and stepped forward.
There was someone who took a step ahead of me.
“What absurdity! These scoundrels!”
A girl who seemed to be the same age as me and Nias shouted with a clear, clear voice and rushed at the men.
And for a moment I thought my heart was going to drop.
I couldn’t… I never thought I’d show up here like this!
Her white silver hair, as if the moonlight had descended on her, was braided in a complex shape, and clear silver eyes glittered beneath her neatly trimmed bangs.
According to the description in the novel, she is a girl with a goddess-like appearance that seems to embody the moonlight.
It was a beautiful figure that was just such a description.
If I had to add one word, it looked too thin.
Her name is Elina Lynas.
One of the heroines of 『The Hero of Salvation』.
A paladin who is more chaste and holy than anyone who believes in Neftam.
However, in reality, she is the saintess of Yuan, the god of poison known as the evil god.
And more than that, she is a seductive girl with a charm that seems to be tempted by the devil even though she is a saint.
Since she is a saint of the god of poison, there was a terrible background setting that if you do mucous membrane contact, such as kissing, with that girl whose body is dripping with poison, you will gradually become poisoned and eventually die.
In fact, it is said that the main character also died young from being poisoned by that girl not long after the main story ended.
“What are you? Little boy, if you don’t want to die… huh? How do you look…?”
The man who was wildly angry at Elina’s appearance frowned in puzzlement.
“My appearance doesn’t matter. Please free the girl. Apparently, the seal on the back of this girl’s hand doesn’t look that old! Isn’t this girl an illegally traded slave?”
Even in front of a man several times his size, the girl was not afraid and spoke confidently.
She’s a saint of evil spirits, so how could she say such good things? You already know the answer to this question.
That is hypocrisy.
It is said that she is infinitely evil on the inside as she is a saint of evil spirits, but Elina had one peculiar tendency.
It is said that he is a pervert who plays hypocrisy and gets excited by praise from others.
The man held the girl’s hand.
“There is something strange about you, how are you making that face? I have to take you! Follow!”
“What… let go of this!”
Elina struggled to shake off her arm from the man’s strong hand.
However, according to the setting, Elina’s divine power would still be weak at this point.
It was no longer someone else’s business.
The whole plot twists when Elina is really kidnapped by a slave trader.
Of course, the achievement of my achievements and the hope of lasting peace are also forever well-being.
I used magic and flew between Elina and the man at once.
As I flew through the sky and stood in the middle, the man who was trying to drag Elina widened his eyes in surprise.
“Eh, magic…?”
Elina seemed surprised by my true identity rather than magic.
“you are…?”
“Well, I don’t know for now.”
I pushed my hood down and put my hand on the wrist of the man holding Elina.
“Let go of this hand.”
“Who is this kid looking at and giving orders…”
Dududuk! levee!
One by one, the man’s knuckles bent backwards and began to break.
“Uh..aaa!!!”
As soon as the man fell on his back screaming, I looked at the other men as well.
“You little boy who is not even worth a handful of!”
The moment the men lunged at me, I sent an intangible air bomb to their limbs.
Knock! Kwajijik! fast!
“Aww!!”
The men who were running towards me were scattered on the floor with their arms and legs bent in strange ways.
Crazy curses and high-pitched sounds like women’s screams flowed from their mouths.
I lightly punched them in the face with the power of a boxer’s punch, one by one, and silenced them.
“you. Someone is doing illegal business in this territory.”
Approaching the men who were moaning in pain, I stepped on the head of the man who was holding Elina’s hand.
“Do you think we should make a hole in our head so that we can’t do illegal business here again?”
I stretched out my hand as if to fire magic straight at the man’s head.
“Sah, save me…”
The man whose joints in his arms and legs were broken mumbled as if pleading.
“Do… Bocchan?”
No matter how you look at it, Nias thought it was strange that my actions were too cruel, so she slightly raised her voice to express her doubts.
Of course, there was a reason for my uncharacteristic cruelty.
“Thank you for your help. But stop now.”
A silver-haired girl stepped in front of me and said.
Looking at me with unclouded eyes, as if declaring that I am after justice.
“…You’ve punished me enough.”
“It’s not over yet.”
“Your arms and legs are broken. I just need to be able to rescue that girl. Needless cruelty is something Neftam doesn’t want. The true punishment of these wicked people will come after death.”
I looked at her for a moment, then kicked the man in the head with a look of displeasure before putting my hand away.
“thank you.”
Elina gave me a beautiful smile with a sense of gentleness, and bowed her head slightly.
good!
Then come now!
I satisfied Elina’s hypocrisy and waited for the system window.
In order to satisfy Elina’s tendency to hypocrisy, she acted appropriate cruelty.
But…
“what?”
“yes?”
Elina tilted her head and blinked her eyes.
Hypocrisy…isn’t it satisfied?
I looked at Elina with a sense of wonder.
So, was Elina really helping these men?
But it can’t be.
According to the setting, Elina has already been a saint of an evil cult since she was a child.
That hypocritical tendency must have been manifested since childhood.
“Oh, more than that. Make sure the girl is okay.”
Elina turned around and approached the slave girl.
Then, lowering his body and gently holding the girl’s hand, he asked in a warm and kind voice.
“it’s okay?”
At those words, the girl who had fallen down slowly got up.
Then the hood slowly came off.
The long, beautiful silver hair in the hood poured down like a moonlit waterfall.
The silver mist-like eyes slightly distorted by pain also caught the moonlight and shone like jewels. And me, Nias, and Elina all opened their mouths wide.
There was another beautiful girl who resembled Elina like a twin.
“Why are you the same as me…?”
“I have…?”
The two girls checked each other’s faces and looked at each other as if possessed.
As if facing a mirror.
I too was perplexed.
Two… Elina?
Can you wait a minute?
Apparently, in the novel, Elina was only one.
By the way… how the hell did this happen?
Which of the two is the real saint of evil spirits?!
