Chapter 292

Kaina tilted her head, saying it was strange.

Of course something strange happened.

Because Hector had never told Roan the story about the Hell.

‘What on earth did this kid do while volunteering for two weeks?’

Roan lamented that Hector’s incompetence was this bad.

If you started as the Hector character, you would already be carrying around a bundle of dungeon keys.

“But since it is the Pavilto family, you must have heard something about it when you were in the family.”

“Ah, of course, that’s true too! The Shencolt family helped me a lot when repairing this dungeon. Yes, I plan to imprison Oslo in the deep prison! He is the leader of the gang, so he should be punished appropriately!”

Shimok was literally a deep prison.

And unlike the outside world, where people performed similar labor and lived a regular life regardless of the crime, the labor in Sim-ok was even more terrible and cruel.

“…….”

Roan followed Kaina, feeling sorry for Oslo as well.

‘That’s why I’m so stubborn when I just need to clear the Balance of Light and Dark.’

Although it was self-employed, it was profitable.

The punishment of Shim-ok, the first person I met, was quite large.

Large animals such as horses, bulls, hippopotamuses, and elephants were mainly confined.

They were grunting and pushing a rock much larger than their bodies up the ramp assigned to them.

If you put a rock at the end of the ramp like that.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr chance-thump-!

It rolls down the ramp on the other side and you had to move the rock again.

This was a place where those who used their power to persecute and even kill the weak were often imprisoned.

If they stop the rock at the top of the ramp, they will be released, but as far as Roan knew, no one had been released yet.

Although the prisoners were very tired and in pain, they knew that their future would not change, so they just pushed the rock with their whole bodies in a state of fascination.

Then at some point.

Roan and Kaina were just about to pass in front of the prison cell.

Pop─

─ Huh?

─ Huh?

The prisoners stopped pushing the rock and tilted their heads.

─ Um, what was that?

─ How did you do it?

The same was true for the paladins who supervised the prisoners inside the cells.

“?”

“???”

Roan and Kaina also stopped and looked in the same direction as them.

Surprisingly enough, a rock stopped exactly at the top of the ramp!

One black mage, a hippopotamus, saw this and cheered in disbelief.

─ Ooh, ooh, ooh! I did it!! It stopped!!!!

Seeing that the rock did not roll back even after making such a fuss, it seemed as if it had come together by an incredible coincidence.

─ Sir, am I released now? I will live a really good life! I will never use black magic in my life!

‘The effect of correction is clear.’

Roan looked at him and nodded.

Even if you made a mistake, if you repent and reflect on yourself, the existence of prison was meaningful.

But unfortunately for the hippopotamus, he will never be released.

─ Is this really stopped?

A muscular black mage who was pushing a rock up a nearby ramp looked at the stopped rock with disbelieving eyes.

at that time.

Tick-

Roan clearly saw the slight movement of Kaina’s fingers.

Tuk─

─ Oh, what?

Rumbling──!!!

Soon the muscular black mage’s arms moved on their own and rolled down the stopped rock again!

Of course, the hippo beast’s expresSion was so distorted that it made me wonder if there was a devil in the form of a hippopotamus.

─ Ugh, ugh!!! You, you bastard! What were you doing!

─ I-I didn’t do it! I stayed still… … !

─ Shut up, you dirty bastard! The Skeleton Knight’s spear strikes!

The hippo beast was so angry that it even used black magic to kill its male opponent.

─ These bastards! Are you causing trouble?

Of course, he was immediately suppressed by the surrounding Paladins.

Kaina called a nearby paladin.

─ Yes, Professor.

“Send the guy who dared to use black magic in prison to solitary confinement, and the guy who dropped the rock out of jealousy, raise the weight of the rock by 30%. Oh, and grind the top of the rail that stopped over there to be a bit sharp. It looks like it’s worn out after using it for a long time.”

─ Yes!

The paladin saluted faithfully and ran to the two men to follow Kaina’s instructions.

“…….”

Roan was well aware of this cruel and never-ending bondage.

The holy magic that Kaina just used with her fingers was truly advanced interrogation holy magic, ‘the inner truth of the truth revealed.’

Although there was a strong restriction that it can only be used on opponents that the caster had personally engraved the mark on.

It was a great holy magic that allowed you to obtain an honest statement and see your actions revealing your true feelings.

There was nothing to say about Kaina’s level of being able to cast such holy magic with just a lift of a finger.

Anyway, it means that Kaina wasn’t a cowardly move, but that she really had an intention to push the rock where the muscular black mage stopped.

Kaina took care of the task and said with a bright smile.

“Sometimes they stop like that, but every time they push me away like that~ I guess the despicable black mages are the type of people that can’t be related!”

Kaina seemed suspiciously relieved as she said that.

“…Yes, I see.”

Roan, who clearly knew the hidden situation, nodded roughly.

The situation was similar in other prison cells in Simok.

‘Doing push-ups in the waves of holy water’, where those who commit blasphemy were imprisoned.

Those who covet and steal the empire’s wealth were imprisoned, ‘turning the talkie – roughly the same concept as a generator –’.

Those who conducted human experiments were imprisoned, ‘forever hurt and had to recover,’ etc.

There was a series of cruel punishments, some taken directly from mythology.

Of course, there were conditions for release in each room, but as we saw earlier, they were not actually fulfilled.

Among them, Oslo was the place where the kidnappers were trapped.

It was a cell of ‘endless kidnapping.’

Huge and complex walls were built like a maze, and several golems stood along the walls.

Dangling—!

There Roan released Oslo.

However, unlike his previous subordinates, Oslo looked around with an expresSion of understanding everything.

“Is this… where I’ll be trapped?”

Then he asked Kaina this:

“That must be Professor Kaina. I lived in the mountains, but I’ve heard the rumors. What punishment will I receive?”

Bang!

Kaina’s answer was not words but kicks.

Oslo flew away for a long time without even being able to scream.

‘Tongue, is this the right punishment?’

I was so embarrassed that I even thought about this.

Kaina kicked Oslo, raised his toe and tapped it on the floor, and spoke in a voice full of disdain.

“Insolent on the topic of prisoners….”

Only then did Oslo realize that he had offended Kaina, so he hurriedly bowed and said.

“I will accept any punishment!”

Kwaaaang──!!

‘I think I’m stronger this time than before.’

The answer was a more powerful kick.

Oslo’s eyes, which were now completely stuck on the wall, were filled with fear.

Kaina spoke again.

“Pretending to be nice to a prisoner…”

‘Oh, what are you saying?’

It was a sound that made Oslo go crazy.

Still, like the old black mage, Oslo had now decided to remain silent.

I was wondering if they wanted a prisoner who behaved obediently.

As the leader of a gang, my pride was a little hurt, but being beaten by Kaina hurt too much to take care of my pride.

Kwajik─ Kwaung─!

However, Kaina grabbed Oslo by the collar, which was pinned against the wall, and this time slammed him down to the floor.

… … To Roan, it seemed to hurt considerably more than the previous two kicks.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you reBelling?”

“Door-eo-daae-ae-chee eujeeraneueu….”

Oslo muttered something in an awkward pronunciation.

It seemed to roughly mean, ‘What on earth were you talking about?’

Actually, there was no such thing.

Should we just call it a professor’s minor revenge against an unscrupulous criminal who kidnapped a school student?

“Tsk!”

Kaina clicked her tongue once more and then returned to Roan.

Clap ─ Clap ─

Then the golems began to operate all at once and began to approach Oslo.

Kaina spoke in a cold voice to Oslo, who was still lying face down.

“You’d better run away. Unless you want to die.”

“Uh oh….”

Even if she didn’t tell him, Roan had no choice but to instinctively run away when he saw the deadly golems, which were completely different from the practice golems he had destroyed during Gulba’s class.

Oslo limped into the maze-like walls.

“Then shall we leave?”

Kaina returned to her original form and spoke to Roan.

Roan glanced back and asked.

“What happens to him now?”

I knew that, but it would be even weirder if I didn’t ask anything.

Kaina responded kindly.

“Soon you will be captured by the golems and returned to your original position! As long as you are not captured by the golems!”

“……aha.”

Clap!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Oslo, who was wrapped in a white cloth, was thrown to the ground again.

By that time, Kaina and Roan were already walking down the corridors of the deep prison again.

In a prison cell where people were constantly kidnapped, being kidnapped by a golem and then released was repeated.

“Each time, one by one the things you have are taken away~ Huh? What happens if all the things are taken away~?”

“…What happens?”

Kaina covered her mouth with her hand and smiled like a girl.

“Hehe, I’ll leave that to your imagination! It’s a little hard to say it with my own mouth~”

… … But Roan didn’t really want to imagine.

The way out of the prison and walking back to the inside.

‘Hmm, that seems strange.’

Roan felt a similar sense of subtle discomfort that he had felt for a moment when he came in.

Stop─

It was clearly an ordinary wall in any other basement.

But for some reason, what was attracting Roan’s attention was similar to the feeling he had when looking for a ring at Andel’s sex and magic shop.

[What is there?]

Bell asked, tilting his head.

‘That can’t be… … .’

“Huh? Student Darc, what’s wrong?”

‘Oops.’

Roan tried to feel the sensation a little more and only realized his mistake when Kaina followed suit and stopped.

What’s in the basement of the Siothric Building was none of your business!

Roan naturally shook his head.

“It’s nothing. Please go.”

Looking at Kaina’s reaction, I had a vague idea what that wall was.

However, Professor Kaina, who was equipped with both talent and experience, was able to grasp the entire situation with just the smallest behavioral clues given by Roan.

Kaina nodded with a serious expresSion.

“As expected… Student Darc noticed.”

“…What do you mean?”

Roan gave an expresSion of confuSion.

A calm and innocent face, as if he really knew nothing.

Wow─

Is there innocence on your face?

‘Be quiet.’

Nevertheless, Kaina was not fooled.

“I know everything about Darc’s heart.”

“!”

Roan’s heart sank.

How do you know that?

I shouldn’t know.
