The Strongest All-Attribute Healer in Another World: Reincarnated as a Game Mob, Aiming to Become the World's Greatest Healer Using Game Knowledge
Episode 36: Dark Slaves
"…So, there’s no problem with this, right?"
Just to be sure, I check with Milia and Leisha.
"I think it’s fine!"
"Yes, I think it’s become easier for us now."
Alright, the plan is set.
"Then, let’s start by healing Lugus’s injuries."
"…⁉︎"
As I sit down and touch Lugus with my right hand, Raven looks surprised.
"Y-You’re healing me…⁉︎ Don’t you hate me⁉︎"
It seems even Lugus himself didn’t expect this.
Of course, this isn't out of kindness. From what Raven told me, this benefits us more.
"I don’t think this will be settled easily. If we need to use force… then having two people is better than one for increasing our chances of success, right? That’s all there is to it."
"I see… I owe you one."
"Regardless of the reason, being healed is helpful. I’ll make sure to do my part…"
With that, I use "Divine Heal" on Lugus.
Shrouded in white light, Lugus’s injuries are healed instantly.
"Should we inform the kingdom about this?"
"That might be a good idea. The problem is whether they’ll believe our testimony."
"We could have Raven talk to them directly… but if the kingdom reacts badly, it could ruin the plan…!"
"Exactly."
To ensure a more certain and easier resolution, it’s better to align with the kingdom. They already know about the "Black Mist Blade" coup plan.
Given that the plan is known, they’ll likely move to dismantle the organization quickly. If Raven and his men show up, they’re likely to be captured, failing the plan.
On the other hand, it’s hard to believe the kingdom would just adopt a plan we suddenly bring up, even with Milia’s position.
We need some solid proof to convince them that our information is trustworthy.
…As I ponder this, Raven makes a suggestion.
"If that’s the case, we should bring information that only we know."
"Information?"
"Probably… the kingdom has noticed that the 'Black Mist Blade' finances don’t match its strength. Mainly weapons, armor, accessories… The assets we reported don’t match their level. Only the top members of the clan know the source of the money."
"I see."
That could indeed enhance the credibility of our claim that we got the information from the "Black Mist Blade" leaders.
"And the source of the money is… dark slaves."
"Dark slaves?"
Though slavery itself is shady, it’s legal in this country. What does "dark" mean? Raven explains.
"Dark slaves are those traded with their identities hidden. All slaves are supposed to be sold with their identities disclosed, but we secretly kidnapped noble daughters and sold them to wealthy buyers to create off-the-books funds. I wasn’t involved in that part, though."
"Hidden identities…"
I think of something and look at Milia.
"Could that mean I was one too…?"
"Were you a slave…? I wasn’t involved in that area, so I don’t know, and there were so many. But if it’s a dark slave in the capital, it was probably our doing."
I see. In a way, this makes it easier to explain.
"And… I want to give you a key."
"A key?"
Lugus takes a metal collar from his pouch and hands it to Raven.
I recognize this shape and design. It’s the same as the one that was on Milia when I took her from the slave trader. It’s a magic tool used to force slaves to obey…
"We’re becoming Rain’s slaves. Well, this doesn’t necessarily have to be worn on the neck. You can put it on our feet, and if the knights see it intentionally, it will prove we’re under Rain’s control."
I see. That would indeed be perfect.
"Got it. But, are you okay with this? How do you feel about it?"
"We came here prepared to be killed. It's too late to worry now."
Well, that’s true.
I put the collars on Raven and Lugus, enslaving them. I store the keys in my item box to keep them safe.
Visually, it’s not obvious they’re enslaved, but now they can’t resist me as their master.
"If anyone gets injured during the persuasion, bring them to me. We want to avoid alerting Gild as much as possible."
"Understood. I’ll do that."
With that, we part ways with Raven and Lugus.
They head off to 'persuade', and we head to the Adventurers’ Guild to connect with the kingdom.
Alright… now that everything is clear, the real challenge begins.
