Arc 26: What can be done for tomorrow

Chapter 271: The Release, and the Second Death

Depiction of cruelty. Readers discretion is advised.

Several days passed since the small war with the Kingdom of Sandora, and Ive ended up running about dealing with the aftermath.

First, I gather the slaves in the royal capital (excluding those who were registered as crime slaves), hand them some money from the large sum of reparations seized from the Kingdom of Sandora and send back those who have a place to return to with [Gate]. As for the places which I havent visited yet, I ask them to allow me to peek into their memories to send them back home.

Ive already notified the members of the East-West Alliance in advance so that Ill be able to return the slaves back to their hometowns smoothly to some extent.

Naturally, I also help the folks from the tribes of the forest sea that Pam and her tribe entrusted me to return back home. I return those guys first to the Great Forest Sea without missing a single person.

Yes, please line up. Dont panic, and please fall in line horizontally

Before passing through the [Gate], the slaves have their [Subordination Collars] disempowered by a [Secret Weapon] created by the professor and Tica from the [Laboratory], thus releasing them from slavery.

Tica injects an object that looks like a syringe without a needle into the collars of the slaves who are lined up in a row. Its an artifact called [Initialize] that the two of them created.

In simple terms, its an artifact which completely eliminates every magic that has been applied to anything.

In a certain sense, its a dreadful magic tool. Even precious artifacts of an ancient kingdom will degrade into ordinary tools if that artifact is applied on them.

Assuming that the barrier, which was applied on the aforementioned behemoth island, is something that the Islanders cant do anything about, then its possible for this artifact to be a solution to eliminate that barrier.

Though accurately speaking, its a magic tool that has [Overwriting] and a powerful [nothing] as enchantments, and the one pouring large quantities of magic power is naturally me. Therefore, it will take an enormous amount time for anyone besides me to charge it. The amount of magic power it has is so enormous that it will take an ordinary magician about a year to fully charge it, I guess?

Every manager from the Babylon numbers disempowered the slavery chokers, and the freed slaves are then sent back to their hometowns through a [Gate] one by one.

There are also obstructing people who dont want to release their slaves simply because they just have to exist. However, the knights from the knight order of our household suppress and throw them into the cages where the slaves have been put into after tying them up.

There are also those who personally refused to be liberated from slavery, albeit those exceptions are few. It looks like they are satisfied with their position and arent being forced to say that statement against their will, so weve allowed them to do as they wished.

Though we still disempowered their chockers just in case. Everything after that is up to the feelings of the person in question. So there are people who feel that way, huh? Yep, I guess there really people who are like that

Several days have passed since weve liberated the slaves in the royal capital, and now we have to free the slaves from the other towns.

Its troublesome that the feudal lords of those towns are striking against us, so we surround the towns with a few dozen frame gears and intervene by force, making them lose their motivation to oppose us.

Were spreading a rumor that it was the King of Sandora who had previously declared w
