My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

The management of the mine has managed to secure a revenue and expenditure plamaizero, but loans and tax payments remain.

In June revenues and expenses were also reduced by the supply of fine medicines due to the increase in the number of pharmacists' holidays, from Eina to 4 million and Kalesa cloth to 26 million from the pharmacy.

It's a deficit of 8 million because the sum of the mine loans and the money you pay to the state and local nobles is 68 million. In order to make up for it, I make the decision to transfer what I have been thinking to execution.

In the house Mr. Ceres made for me and my sister, I take out the box I left hidden under the bed and open the lid (lid).

There are two collars in there. It's that collar that's also on Lynne and the pharmacist's neck.

This, by the way, was worn on the necks of Mr. Elves, who had both died in the first three days of purchasing the mine.

I thought they would definitely disagree with me when I told the pharmacist, so I asked the kid in the kitchen to sneak it back before I buried him.

That means I cut off my neck, so I don't think it was a terrible excuse until then that it was routine, or that it would be better if it was after I died instead of dying.

The collar made of red and black stained wood and iron is creepy and unprepared to touch until now.

The collar I was prepared to touch was about 5 cm thick and weighed about 3-4 kg? I feel the weight of the weight more than it weighs.

I try to mess around a lot trying to find the structure, but I have no idea from the way the collar is opened that is closed. When it came to understanding, the only thing was that the size of the ring could be fine-tuned with the metal parts on the side, and the collar would gradually squeeze at a rate of about a day with a roll of screws.

You won't die because you're not so strong at squeezing, but you're having trouble breathing.

It is a nightmarish tool: the continuation of suffering.

That's a tool, but when you try to mess with yourself and you don't know the structure, you just have to ask someone. Would that be a human slave trader or a blacksmith? Either way, he's not here, so he decides to go to Wang Capital and try to find him, and the next time Mr. Reina goes to Wang Capital, he decides to let me accompany him.

I tried to tell my sister and she would follow me as a matter of course. I had a feeling about that somehow......

That's why my sister and I rode in the carriage that Rhina manipulated, and for the first time in a long time we were supposed to turn our back to Wang Capital...

At the beginning of July, unlike the mines in the mountains (Yamaai), Wangdu is full of annoying enthusiasm.

That's how we explore the collar structure, but if you're a slave trader or a blacksmith, blacksmiths are more likely to come into contact with each other imaginatively.

Find a blacksmith who looks free to go inside and talk to his uncle who is sharpening a knife in the workplace in the annoying air with a ring to the outside air.

"Um, excuse me. I'd like to ask you something about this."

With that said, he showed his collar, and his uncle stood up as he said, 'Oh, is that the collar of slaves'? Apparently, it's a pretty common product.

"So, what's wrong with this?

"Would you like me to open it?

"Am I right? That's not a blacksmith's job. No, you're going to a slave trader. With this engraving, the Elg Chamber of Commerce."

I don't know, but it seems like it can't be opened unless it's a specific slaver. If you look closely, the collar is stamped with some kind of mark.

Say 'Thank you' to your blacksmith uncle and head to the taught Elg Chamber of Commerce.

When I told him about the business at the entrance, the clerk immediately came out and showed him in the back, and when he paid 50,000 astols, he immediately opened his collar.

The only way to do this is to insert the key into the hole inside the collar and turn it......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Um, can I ask you something?

"What is it? As for the price, it's like a collar rental fee, so you can't put it aside."

"No, I didn't. When the keyhole is inside, what do you do when you remove it with it on your slave? It's time to free human slaves or replace them because their collars are broken..."

"Oh, that's when I break it, not take it off. A broken collar is not a shame, and it's like a necessary expense when freeing a slave. Most of the time, slaves work and earn their share."

Speaking of which, does this world, human slavery treat you badly?

"What do you do when you close the key?

"The spring is planted inside, so close the collar and the key will close at will. Oh, don't try it, because if it closes, it'll cost you 50,000 astr to open it again."

Stop the hand you tried to do.

"Does that mean there's no safe way to remove the slave or collar? Why is that structure?

"There's no way. You know, I don't know why, but maybe it's easier to escape if you can take it off easily? Seventy percent of slaves are elves, half of human slaves are lifelong slaves, so we don't have much of a problem with this form."

"I see..."

This is shock information for me. I would have sold 4000 collars for 450,000 astols at a time to about 1.8 billion astols and stepped on that a third of my loans could be bribed......

But even if it's not money, you should take your collar off. It hurts to watch, and it seems to get in the way......

"Where can I ask when I break my collar?

"We do it, too, and a city blacksmith would do it most of the time. However, it is not advisable because the amateur will hurt the slave to be freed if he does it properly."

"I see. So can you try breaking this collar?

The clerk narrows his eyes softly to my words.

"Excuse me, may I ask what's going on? This collar is worth half a million Astres if it is open. Is there any reason to break it?

Oh, shit. You can't even tell me the trick, so I tried to remember when I saw where to break it, was it a failure...

"Oh, no. I just said it out of sheer curiosity. Excuse me."

That's what I say, disperse the slave traders so they can escape. Well, what's the matter......

Walking through the city thinking, my sister talks to Potturi.

"You can't take that collar off without breaking it..."

"Sounds like it. I was hoping it would be a lot of money."

"But brother, break it. But I'm gonna take it off for you, right? You're not gonna wait until Mr. Elves dies like that, are you?

My sister asks me with an anxious look. That would be recoverable without breaking the collar if you wait until you die, but the life expectancy of the elves is hundreds of years. It's too pathetic to keep a collar on for such a long time, and the first loan is due for repayment and my life span is past.

"It's obvious, that's why I asked you how to break it. There's no way I'm gonna get a human blacksmith to go to the mine and have him removed."

"Yeah, I'm relieved! That's your brother!

Was my sister anxious, or she would happily hug me in the arm and rinse my cheek (cheeks). I want you to stop in public because the gaze between the person on the road and Mr. Rhina hurts.

But you'd be suspicious to ask me how to break it in a blacksmith, and it seems illegal to remove the elf collar. I hope Ceres, who worked at the blacksmith, knows, there's no way to teach slaves how to do that......

Think about it a lot, but I still could only think of one way to tour how to break it.

It's a place I don't really want to take my sister, but I can't help it......
