Myra narrowed her eyes and watched Karami.

An evil energy that I had never felt before emanated from Karami. It was very similar to the demonic energy emitted by demonic beasts.

Myra just rolls her eyes while keeping her head still.

The corpses of demonic beasts scattered around.

Maybe I got some loot.

I have no intention of arguing about that. Selling by-products is the main source of income for adventurers.

only.

“I need to check.”

If it’s that level of magic, it needs to be checked.

However, Karami did not readily hand over the magic book.

“Why should I do that? Is this revenge from last time?”

“I think I’m misunderstanding something, but it’s different from what happened at the bar last time. The rule is that artifacts obtained from dungeons contain demonic energy and must be verified by the church. I just happened to be there so I wanted to do it.”

This is a principle that Karami did not know.

As he wasn’t trying to become an adventurer for a living, it was impossible for him to be knowledgeable about all the regulations.

“Can you give it back?”

“If it is resolved through purification, I will return it, but if it still does not work, I will not return it. You can’t let someone wield something dangerous, right? The denomination will handle it arbitrarily.”

“What about compensation?”

“Where is that? I should be grateful just for protecting me from danger. Rather, I have to pay for the inspection?”

These bastards are like day robbers.

Karami was about to swear for a moment, but managed to swallow it back in her throat. Artifacts have a different value than ordinary by-products.

Some are cheap, while others cost a lot of money.

It’s not enough to take something like that just because it has magic, and they don’t even compensate for it. It’s the same as asking the landowner to pay for excavation costs when a cultural asset protrudes while trying to build a building.

It would be nice if there were no problems, but this is what the Goblin Shaman had. It’s even a book with magic that can manipulate souls.

It is difficult to say for certain that there is no risk. On the day that the magic book disappears due to a mistake, Mirabell’s complete liberation is instantaneous.

“It is difficult to give it right away, so can you give us a grace period?”

Mirabelle is useless if she can only learn magic. It’s easy to learn in a game, but not here.

I don’t know how long it will take, but with Mirabel, it won’t take that long. At most, it only takes a few days.

But Myra, unable to tolerate even the slightest exception, firmly shook her head.

“No. It’s even more suspicious that they ask for a grace period. You seem to know what you have?”

Myra walks with brisk steps.

Karami swiveled her head tightly.

‘Should we fight?’

To do this, Mirabelle’s help is essential, but her condition is not very good. You can’t guarantee victory by fighting.

then… .

“Uh, is there a demon that hasn’t been dealt with yet?”

Karami pointed behind the priests with his finger, and the moment their heads turned at the same time.

Holding Mirabelle, he grabbed the shaman and placed his hand on the created transfer stone. For a moment, you will feel the same sense of floating as when you entered the dungeon. Their appearance will pop you in the dungeon! And disappeared.

“Oh? That kid?”

It was so quick that there was no time to react. Julius, who was waiting behind, asked.

“What do you want to do?”

Myra scratched the back of her head nervously, as if she was tired.

In order to apologize for the last time, I was willing to take into account it as long as it wasn’t something very strange. If you run away, it’s a different story.

“Hold on. And check. Don’t treat it harshly.”

***

The place I transferred to was the entrance to the dungeon.

A fresh meadow welcomed them.

“Ah! The guy who pushed me earlier!”

And even the party of the hot-blooded boy that Karami and the others met. The boy who recognized Karami pointed his finger.

‘It’s not you, you bastard.’

I was going to say something, but the situation is very urgent. When I saw the face of the boy with the sharp eyes, I felt a little sorry.

Karami sprinted as fast as she could while holding Mirabelle. Well, it wasn’t much different from the neighborhood kid running, but anyway.

‘Where should I go?’

Hiding somewhere else doesn’t make much sense. After all, you have to take a carriage to get to your final destination.

Other nearby cities should also be considered within the territory. If you waste time and issue a wanted order and strengthen your defenses, you will be in trouble.

Karami decided to return to Delophine before strengthening her defenses.

Karami approached the gates of Delophine.

“Stop! Where are you trying to get into?”

However, the guard guarding the castle gate suddenly stops him. He was a soldier who had previously received a gold coin from Karami. Karami still remembers his face, so her restraint is ridiculous.

“What does that mean? You definitely received a gold coin from me last time.”

“This guy! Where did you say such nonsense? Are you saying that I, who eats the lord’s rust, received money from you guys?”

Holy shit.

A hippo cub that eats money without even knowing it is full. Hansi says bullshit without any hesitation in urgent situations.

I guess one gold coin wasn’t enough?

That’s why I’m trying to give you more money even if you lose money. I cherished it for no reason and it turned into shit.

Karami quickly took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to the guard. He took the money, but this time he didn’t give way.

He just stares at Karami, who doesn’t understand what’s going on.

The moment the thought stopped, Karami immediately realized the reason for that gaze. He took out two more gold coins from his pocket and placed them in his hand.

Only then did the guard nod his head in satisfaction.

“Hmm, yes. It was that slave trader back then. I finally remember now. Go in.”

Karami curses with her eyes.

Just when I really wanted to say something.

thud.

A field far away.

There is an earthquake.

Weeds are flying around.

Toyeon creates a storm.

Inyoung, with all of that on her back, approaches without even caring that her white robes are disheveled.

Power similar to that of a buffalo.

The earth is shaking.

Karami swallowed without realizing it.

‘This is crazy.’

As if it were a fantasy world, his physical abilities far exceeded the level of a superhuman.

It’s obvious that if you get caught, it won’t end well.

In order to survive, you have to jump.

“Please take care of me later. You have to get your money’s worth.”

“What, what?”

Karami left the rest to the guards and entered the city. At that time, Mirabelle, who was in his arms, wriggled. His condition improved as he distanced himself from the clergy.

“Lord, master?”

“Haha, Miss Mirabel. Did you sleep well?”

“What’s going on?”

“Why do those who claim to serve God try to take away our innocent things? It was a gift I wanted to give to Miss Mirabell.”

Mirabelle blinked blankly.

Are you trying to steal a gift from your master?

How dare you?

“Please take it down. I will scold you.”

“Hahaha, that would be nice, but it’s not enough to fight the church yet. It would be nice to get out of the situation first and plan for the future… Only.”

I can’t escape.

If things continue like this, they will be caught within a dozen seconds.

You have to make a choice.

“Can you walk?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Then from now on we will be divided into two.”

Karami dropped off Mirabell and handed over the grimoire.

“This is… ?”

“It’s a gift. I will lure them away, so Miss Mirabel stay in a safe place.”

Two-way operation.

In the end, what they are aiming for is the grimoire.

If they are both caught and it is discovered that Mirabell is a witch, they will be in big trouble, so they plan to entrust the grimoire to Mirabell and send her away.

Instead, he will be captured, but it will only buy Mirabelle time to learn magic. After that, he can hand over the grimoire.

“Now, let’s go.”

“Ha, but… .”

“No need to worry. All you have to do is read this book and learn magic. When you cook it perfectly, take it and come to my place. You understand, right?”

Mirabelle is unable to move as she cannot easily take her steps. Even at that moment, Myra is gradually getting closer.

If we delay like this, the efforts made until today may be in vain. Karami decided to take a strong stance.

“This is an order from the owner. no way… You’re not trying to disappoint me, are you?”

“Oh, no!”

Mirabelle, who immediately denied it, made a solemn expression and made up her mind.

Don’t disappoint.

The value must not be lowered.

If we do that, we will be far from liberation.

Mirabelle entered the alley, holding her staff and magic book tightly. I glanced back, but Karami had already disappeared in the opposite direction.

Mirabelle gritted her teeth and hurried her steps.

***

“Wow, hehe… .”

Karami, who was out of breath, could no longer run and flopped like an octopus. Because it was so difficult, I ended up sitting down on the ground and gasping for air.

When oxygen does not enter the brain, you feel dizzy.

‘Ah, why didn’t I buy a stealth robe?’

Now that I think about it, there was a way like that.

There are plenty of points, and you don’t have to worry about getting caught unless they disappear before your eyes.

‘No, I would have been caught eventually.’

But Karami immediately denied the idea.

The duration of the Stealth Robe is 30 minutes.

The cooldown is also 24 hours, so it cannot be reused right away.

It’s impossible to get a carriage while wearing a stealth robe. It’s lucky if you don’t get exorcised because you’re a ghost.

Karami nailed her thoughts, saying that it was best to buy Mirabelle time to learn magic.

“ Hey, you’re really good at running away. I guess this is not the first time this has happened?”

A shadow falls over the squatting Karami.

It was Myra, the corners of her mouth hanging over her ears. Even though he ran enough to create a dust storm, he didn’t show any signs of fatigue.

It’s a very tough world for a slave trader to survive.

Karami sighed.
