Main Scenario Slave Trader.

The conditions for clearing this scenario were very simple and clear.

It was all about suppressing a group of slave traders who were lurking in the darkness of the empire and engaging in human trafficking.

It was a scenario that wasn’t as complicated as those used in many media, but it wasn’t a tactical combat.

This scenario exists to increase the player’s reputation, and like the main scenario of Sigurd’s clan, it was a scenario that did not affect the game even if it was not cleared.

However, if the group of slave traders is left alone as it is a parasite on the cancerous part of the empire, its power will gradually expand and eventually develop into a large organization that is difficult to subdue.

Not only that, but there was an event that kidnapped the fellow characters I had raised with all my heart at a certain probability, so I ended up crying and clearing the game.

It’s not necessarily something you have to beat, but it’s a compulsory event.

This is a phrase that all users who play Tactical Combat always use when explaining the slave scenario.

Gilbert was lost in thought for a moment, looking at Seraphina, who was very angry even after leaving the restaurant. The slave trader scenario occurred at least about halfway through the main scenario, but it seemed a bit earlier this time.

Of course, I was not shaken because I realized through past situations that not all situations go like a game. I was just wondering where the slave traders had been hiding.

As he was crazy about achievements, he also had a record of clearing the slave trader achievement. Achievements did not always come from just and good actions.

There were achievements that could only be achieved by playing with less than half of the numbers. Naturally, Gilbert accomplished all of those feats.

At that time, I played it with the simple idea that it was a game.

The feeling that there was such an unpleasant route was just a bonus.

But when I think back on it now that it has become a reality, it wasn’t all that pleasant.

Is there no way that an organization that engages in human trafficking is normal?

Additionally, Tactical Combat was a game for adults. Because the game involved not only cruelty but also explicit sexual expressions, I didn’t think it was very enjoyable to play the game as a slave trader. All I could think about was mechanically achieving the achievement quickly and playing the next round.

Still, I felt fortunate to have had that experience. Even if only half of the information in the game matches, there will be no need to put in a lot of effort to kill them all.

But the problem is how to solve that information.

This was what Gilbert was worried about.

The Slaves, a group of slave traders, had a close relationship with the powerful as they engaged in human trafficking within the empire. In order to please the nobles with all kinds of perverted sexual desires, they would capture any target they could find.

When Gilbert played the slave trader route, he kidnapped all kinds of people to achieve the Slave Hunter achievement. I didn’t hesitate to do crazy things to achieve all the achievements in as many rounds as possible.

At that time, I thought this was a game or something, but there were quite a few times when I frowned. In the latter part of the route, there were many malicious things that made you wonder about the mental state of the game company’s employees who planned this route.

In any case, for that reason, their information was kept in strict secrecy, so it was difficult to obtain proper information even if a request was made to any information guild.

As usual, these dirty guys were run by a branch organization, and when you dig into their backs, you end up with nothing more than a group of scoundrels who can be cut down.

It was safe to say that helpful information could not be obtained unless a request was made to an intelligence organization of at least Wild Rose or higher.

That was the reason for Gilbert’s worries. I knew the information, but the key was how to solve it.

If you waste a lot of money unnecessarily, it was bound to arouse suspicion. It was natural that Gilbert would look suspicious if he brought up something that even most information guilds did not know about.

As he pondered whether there was a better way, he decided to visit the wild roses of Obitus sooner or later. First of all, unless you were an information guild of that level, it was difficult to obtain information about the Slaves.

“Priest.”

“Please tell me.”

“I don’t think slavery is bad. In reality, slavery is not illegal in the empire.”

Infractus was one of the places where slavery was still practiced. Depending on the seriousness of the crime committed, there were often cases where the status was demoted to a slave.

In addition, all acts of buying and selling slaves within the boundaries set by the empire were recognized as legal.

However, the only thing they strictly prohibit is the sale of slaves through human trafficking.

The policy of the current empire was that no matter how much the caste system existed, the indiscriminate sale of slaves was an evil that was corrosive to society.

Therefore, to Seraphina, who regarded the empire with horror, human trafficking slave traders were cancerous beings that must be killed.

“But these guys are going too far. How dare they blatantly engage in human trafficking in places within their power. What else is this but mocking women?”

“You are right.”

“Gilbert. A female priest and a loyal subject of the empire.”

Gilbert immediately stood up and knelt down.

Serafina was no longer Gilbert’s priest.

The moment she called Gilbert a loyal subject of the Empire, she became Serafina Rector Infractus, princess of the Infratus Empire.

“The first princess of the empire, Serafina Rector Infractus, commands.”

“A loyal subject of the empire pledges to risk his life to carry out any command.”

“I have only one command to give you. Complete eradication of trash. Your sword will have neither eyes nor ears. Let it be a blind sword that only condemns.”

“Shin Gilbert Lionheart. I will obey the orders of the First Princess.”

[The main scenario, Slave Trader, begins.]

The moment Gilbert bowed his head and received Seraphina’s orders, the main scenario began.

***

After returning from his stealth with Serafina, Gilbert headed to Obitus the next morning to carry out her orders. There was no time limit on the order, but as time passed from the moment the main scenario progressed, the speed at which their power grew became more and more momentum.

Gilbert, supported by the princess, arrived at Obitus directly through the warp gate.

Obitus, which arrived early in the morning, was not much different from when we arrived before. At least half a year has passed, but in this era where the pace of development is a little behind modern times, there is nothing too strange.

Gilbert left the Warp Gate Management Branch and headed straight to the back alley. He could feel the eyes of petty thieves around him targeting his pockets, but no one attacked him in a big way.

Although half a year had passed, it was because rumors had spread widely when Gilbert came here in the past. In a place like this, it would be difficult to survive if you were clueless and ignorant of rumors.

As before, he arrived at Wild Rose and was immediately able to meet the manager.

“Who is this? Aren’t you Gilbert?”

Perhaps because they had met each other several times, the manager greeted Gilbert warmly. The manager had a high opinion of Gilbert, who did an excellent job with the information previously provided.

Even in the Wild Rose Guild, his status had risen so much that information about Gilbert was always treated as level 1 or higher.

“This is a request from the manager.”

“Of course it is. What do you want this time?”

Despite his invariably blunt appearance, I asked him the reason for his visit in a familiar manner. As a manager who dealt with a lot of crazy people, I liked Gilbert more because he spoke clearly about business.

“Information on human trafficking slave traders hiding in the empire.”

“Human trafficking slave trader… . It’s quite expensive though.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“You’re still refreshing. The usage fee is 30 gold in advance.”

The down payment is only 30 gold, so it’s very expensive.

It was said that information about the Slaves was difficult to obtain, but for Gilbert, who had a general understanding of everything, it was a waste of money.

But I didn’t know that if I passed around information to save a few bucks, I might end up getting tied up with them. Now that I was completely on track, I never wanted to do such a reckless thing.

Gilbert threw a pouch at the manager.

Judging by its weight, it appeared to be 30 gold, but the manager counted it meticulously. This was also because the information guild could give the impression that it was not trustworthy if it did its work haphazardly.

Of course, there were sometimes crazy people who tried to steal the information guild.

“Confirmed. We will provide you with information as soon as possible.”

“Is there anything I can check right away?”

“First of all, the group of human trafficking slave traders hiding in the empire is quite numerous. However, from what we can tell, they are tied together as one large organization.”

“What’s your name?”

“Slaves. They are probably the group of slave traders that Mr. Gilbert is looking for.”

“Slaves… . I remembered. Bring in as much information as possible. It’s even better if it’s a place where they have a leader.”

“It may take some time. The Slaves operate as a branch organization, so if they think they are being chased, they immediately cut off their tail and run away.”

“I’m not curious about that. I entrusted the request to Wild Rose, and I just need to receive information about it.”

Is there “? You don’t have to worry about that. Rather, Gilbert.”

The manager, who was smiling heartily, took out something and showed it to Gilbert. It was a bunch of cards that looked familiar.

“This time, a good item arrived… . Are you interested?”

The manager asked me if I wanted to get revenge like before and if I wanted to use SWAT.

I didn’t specifically come with the intention of doing swat, but I was very curious about what the product was.

“Good stuff?”

“It is a rare mineral called moon tears. It’s even more rare than the dragon fruit that Gilbert took as a prize before.”

Tears of the Moon!

Gilbert’s eyes widened when he heard the words “moon tears.”

Moon’s tears are a material with excellent magic sensitivity, and are currently undervalued because their uses are not yet widely known. However, as their uses are soon revealed, they are an extremely valuable mineral whose price skyrockets.

It was surprising that the mineral, which was said to be so sensitive to magic that it could even contain the soul, was found in the Obitus branch.

“I didn’t bring a deck this time either.”

“I will lend you my deck just like before. Then, would you mind if I understand that you are participating?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I have never lost.”

“I will give you that first defeat.”

So the second round of SWAT between Gilbert and the manager suddenly came to fruition.

The winner of the second round of SWAT was once again Gilbert.

They are ignoring the people of Korea, where dual universalism is rampant.

Gilbert was happy and took the tears of the moon and returned to Demeia Academy.
