Chapter 342: The luggage carrier boy
The blue-haired, blue-eyed boy who carried the luggage called himself Zion.
zion thanked Tauro many times, with tears streaming down his face, perhaps remembering what he had been through.
He told me that it had been two years since he was enchanted into servitude as a baggage handler for the “Gray Vultures.”
Zion began to talk about himself little by little.
“……I was orphaned after my mother died, and I thought the best way for me to survive was to become an adventurer. ……”
“And that’s where they took advantage of you, wasn’t it?”
‘…… yeah. We were poor to begin with, and I didn’t know who my father was or where he was from, so I couldn’t even get them to look at my skills at the baptismal rite at the church,…… and no one would hire me if they didn’t know my skills, right? Then Hagen asked me, ‘since you have power, why don’t you come work for us as a baggage handler?’ ……. I’ll even pay you to become an adventurer, and I’ll bind you with slavery magic until you can be trusted, so if that’s okay with you, come with me. …… I felt like I was at the bottom of the barrel at the time, so it was like a light shining in my future. But it wasn’t. …… Hagen’s attitude changed drastically once he bound me with slavery magic. From then on, I was a slave to him. …… I couldn’t ask for help from anyone because of the spell, and it was nothing but pain. …… You got me out of it. …… Thank you so much ……!
“I’m glad I could help you, Zion-kun. I wanted your help as well.”

“Of course, I’ll tell you anything you want in return! They told me all sorts of secrets right in my face because they thought I couldn’t tell anyone. I wasn’t allowed to help them because I’m still a kid and had no use for them except as a baggage handler, but I’ve seen some of their evil deeds from the side. So I can testify to anything!”
“That’s great. Then you’ll help us, right? The reward will be great.”
“I’ll cooperate even if there’s no reward!…Ah, but I also have to live, so it might be helpful if I could get a reward…”
“Ha-ha-ha, of course!”
Tauro responded with a smile and asked Zion to hide for the time being.
“The luggage boy, he hasn’t come back!”
Even though Hagen was inebriated, he felt suspicious that zion, who he had sent out on an errand, had not returned.
“Oh, it’s true… Isn’t that strange? I wonder if he’s dead somewhere around here, since there’s no way he could have escaped with my slavery magic?”
“That’s crazy! Wahaha! We’ll just have to find a new baggage handler from among the orphans again.”
Said the warrior guy.
“This brat lasted a long time. I think he was the first one to last for years, you know?”

replied the swordsman guy.
“You idiot! If he dies with our team’s luggage, we’ll be in trouble! Hey – hey! Use slave magic to order him to come back here!”
Hagen yelled at his companion.
“Okay, okay! I’ll try, so don’t yell at me! ─ ─ Oh? He’s really not responding. …… It’s highly possible that he were killed by some robber looking for money on his way back from the mayor’s residence. ”
“Damn! I’m not sparing that kid at all, but… it’s too bad that money and luggage were taken away!……., but even in his rotten state, he was our property, the “gray vultures”. And anyone who tries to mess with something that’s ours, I will find them and take care of them!”
Hagen gritted his teeth.
At the same time, Zion, who was carrying the luggage, was on his way to the village of the dragon people for evacuation as soon as Tauro took him to meet up with Ragune and Ankh.
As expected in a dragon people’s village, the village guards appear if a stranger intruded.
“It has been a long time, Tauro-dono! Is that your new companion over there?”
The garrison commander notices Zion and checks to make sure.

Zion was Zion, and he was puzzled by the fact that he had moved to an unknown place, even though he was supposed to have been at an inn in the city of Caxart a while ago.*
“I need you to hide Zion here for a little while.”
“Hiding? …… can you elaborate on that?”
The garrison commander asked Tauro what was going on.
“I see… Tauro-dono, you’re being reckless again. Hahaha! Understood. I’ll explain it to the tribe chief. Ah, that’s right. Actually, there were some people who wanted to get in touch with you. Since you don’t come often, they headed directly to the royal capital.”
“Huh? Who is it?”
“You see, the trio of Malak, zumei, and Reeva, who had previously investigated the assassination guild, and those who worked under them. They wanted to meet with you, saying that their report had been lost in the celebration of the dungeon Capture.”
“Ah… Now that I think about it, something like that happened…”
Tauro muttered as he recalled what happened a few weeks ago.
“In the meantime, there was a report to us, but they wanted to discuss whether or not to destroy the assassination guild’s base in the royal capital, The Chief decided to destroy them and left for the royal capital a few days ago so that he would not have to bother with you.”
“I see! Then…… I will leave it to you to destroy the assassination guilds. I have my own things to do.”
“I understand. It seemed that Malak and the others were planning to find you to report back, so please come visit us when you can.”
“Yes! –Then, please take care of Zion for me.”
“Yes, sir!”
The garrison commander nodded with a smile and took on Zion.
“Thank you, Tauro-san. Please call me whenever you need me.”
Zion was sad to say goodbye to Tauro, the man who had saved his life, but he held back and sent him on his way.
“See you later.”
Tauro waved his hand and disappeared.
Then Ragune disappears as well.
“…Tauro-san is amazing…!”
