The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 1049: Confined in the Guild

I left the Marquis to Toni. I just pretend to be a soldier and look for where the slaves are being held.

And when we get there, we found out that many of the slaves have been sold somewhere else. Even to Tatrama.

"I guess we have to discuss it with everyone about this. What a pain. Especially during this time of war," Toni said.

"But Roy, you seem to be more active in this than I expected. I thought that you will just look for the captured slaves there. But while Toni was taking care of the Marquis, you searched for more slaves outside of the city," Fabio asked me.

We’re done taking care of the Marquis. We have evidence of his involvement in this situation. So while the Marquis, or should I say former Marquis now, is being transported to the capital to wait for his punishment, I brought Toni back with portal. We’re reporting what happened to Fabio.

"They’re selling slaves. People. From adult to kids. And you know who want manpower the most that they don’t mind experimenting on children? The cult. Who knows if the slaves were being sold to the cult, being experimented, and have their strength improved artificially? I haven’t seen any mohawks lately. But it doesn’t mean that we have captured or killed all the mohawks," I said.

"I guess if it’s related to human trafficking, even if the organization is not related directly with the cult, they are still our clue to find more about the cult. Did you find anything?" Fabio asked.

"Nope. I’ll leave that to you guys. And I’ll tell everyone in the clan that if they find anyone pretending to be from our clan to watch them. Well, they are smart enough to know what to do even if I don’t tell them anything," I said.

Except for Angela. But Angela is not available right now. Still busy breaking through to master level.

"Alright, thanks for this, Roy. You can go back and take quests from the guild anymore. Even though the Guild Master was just arrested, the guild can still work properly. Some of the staffs were not involved with him. By the way, where did you bring those people who pretended from your clan? You didn’t bring them to any prison, right? Did you kill them?" Fabio asked.

"No. They will be useful for the tortoises and baby dragon to train. Those monsters will kill them so they can get used to fighting humans. Those people are weak, but they are rather smart since they dare to pretend to be from my clan. At least they should be. This way, the monsters who haven’t fought with us can fight them and experience human’s cunning way of surviving when they’re pushed to a corner," I said.

"...I think that’s crueler than just killing them. They will break down first before they get themselves killed by those monsters," Fabio said.

Maybe. But it’s not important. They are enemies even if they are not from the cult.

"Well, I did complete a quest today. I’ll go to the guild and get my reward now. If there’s nothing happening tomorrow, I’ll go and take another quest," I said.

"Okay. You can stay in the guest room here when you want to," Fabio said.

Of course I can. I’m a special person to every King.

Not just here. In every country, inside the palace or castle where royalty reigns, they have a room that I can use whenever I want. For portals most of the time. And I can sleep there. The servants were told to always maintain my room even when it’s empty.

But I don’t think I have stayed for too long somewhere. Because I can just use portal to go back to Cassau.

"I’ll just sleep in Cassau tonight. I’ll also tell the others about what happened today," I said.

With that, I left the palace and enter the guild. I told the guild that all my party members died fighting the Giant Salamander including the carriage driver.

And so, the guild staffs and some hunters surrounded me and have me confined in one of the room for investigation.

...What the hell?

Well, I guess it’s the natural outcome. I took a mission with four other people who have higher rank than me. But I’m the only one to return alive when even the carriage driver died.

And they brought their toughest guy to torture me for investigation. Why is this guy not arrested like the others? Are there other things that I don’t know about?

"Heahahaha! Tell me the truth! Or you will continue to be whipped again and again!"

...He’s weak though. Even though they put the Magic Restricting Collar around my neck, his whip didn’t hurt me at all. And I barely use Aura.

I feel sleepy instead. Can I just go home?

Well, maybe the investigation by the agents is not over yet. That’s why this guy is still here.

Or that he’s not really a bad guy. And by bad I mean evil. He’s just doing his job interrogating suspects. Torturing them while asking questions. He just looks so happy doing it.

What do I do now? I don’t want to bother Fabio anymore today.

Well, soon enough the agent infiltrating this guild will arrive. I can see him checking his surroundings. He should have heard that I got confined here.

’Roy. Are you perhaps a masochist?’ Victoria teases me.

’I’m not! He’s just too weak that I got bored already! I guess it’s time to leave. By the way, for tomorrow, I won’t return to this guild. I’m tired of being here,’ I said.

Then I casually break the chain that restraining me. Grabbed the whip and throw it away. The guy who tortured me was so scared that he wet his pants.

"He’s running away! Capture him!"

He escaped from the room and asked for help. And soon enough, I got surrounded again. What a pain they are.

I ignored their attacks. Only block those that can hurt me. Then I faced the receptionist girl and waited for my reward.

"You murderer! Die!"

The receptionist girl seems to be everyone’s idol here. They want to show their strength in front of her.

"Enough! Everyone, freeze!"

Then, someone entered the guild. He’s someone I brought to Spirit Mountain before. A master level mage. And he seems to be quite famous here.

"Sir, this guy killed his own party members! And he threatens to kill us!"

Shamelessly, the receptionist girl grabbed his arm and asked for help. Idiot. He can’t do anything to me.

"If he did, then it’s because of your fault. Those party members are criminal. And what they did was pretending to be members of his clan. He’s Roy. The clan leader of Wolf’s Crown."

Hearing the famous soldier’s remark, everyone looked at me in shock. And I still stood there in front of the desk.

"Just give me my reward. And she’s fired," I said.

"Of course. She has no right to work as a receptionist anymore if she accuses you of a crime. Someone, bring him his reward!" he said.

Everyone was quiet. Except for one of the guild staffs who had no choice but to prepare for my reward while crying.

And the receptionist girl from before begged the soldier that she didn’t know anything. She begged the soldier to not get her fired.

"I think you make a mistake. You’re begging at the wrong person. Anyway, it’s great that none of you die. He’s been a master level for longer than I did. In fact, it’s thanks to him that I reached master level. Because of that, all your magic is too weak to harm him. If he ever gets a single scratch on him, he will kill you without mercy. There’s already an incident with the Guild Master today. But it seems like we have to have deeper investigation in this guild. None of you are allowed to leave! I will thoroughly investigate everyone here!"

This is the worst treatment a guild has done to me. I really don’t want to come back here tomorrow.

I guess I’ll do something else for tomorrow. If I return here, I will end up getting into another troublesome situation.

"I don’t take bribe."

The staff gave me more than what the reward should be. So I refused it.

Then I walked out of the guild. This is no longer my problem.

"Umm... he’s leaving," someone said.

"Of course he can. You can also try. But if you’re weaker than a master level mage, don’t even try. He can do that because he’s strong. You can’t because you’re weak. If you want, I can ask him to stay. This means that you will be with him for a while longer and I can’t stop him if he wants to kill you. Do you want that?" the master level mage asked.

"...Thank you for coming."

So annoying. They should just give me the reward instead of confining me. But this helps the soldier to investigate everyone here. I think they used me.

I don’t care. I won’t return here anymore.

But why are there so many problems here? Such a pain in the ass.

I’ll be patient. Once I started training Maya, I won’t be here. Then I’ll just be here for the wedding. After that, I’ll try to not come here anymore.

Maybe I should just not take any quest from now on. Stop actively being a hunter. That is also a good choice.
