Shackles

Many people in the Nebu Alliance are paying close attention to my every move, because I have the potential to subvert the alliance system.

However, these people have always been standing in front of me openly, and only a few are hidden in the dark.

So if someone has been hiding in the shadows and observing me, I can only suspect that she has some ulterior motives towards me.

Is the person who has intentions towards you referring to me?

Yes?

You don't seem surprised by my appearance at all, may I ask why?

I have participated in the unification war of Nebu in the past and personally dealt with many priests who dedicated their lives to the tribe.

I am very impressed by the power of the priest.

Since you started tracking me, I've been paying attention to you all along.

...Well, that was really a mistake.

Alright, I do have something I want to talk to you about, but I'm just here to deliver a message, nothing else.

News?

Herispos lost something related to the Celestial ceremony.

Since you have dealt with the priest, there is no need for me to say more about the rest.

Goodbye, ''Liberator''.

Herispos, guardian deity ritual? I don't know what it means.

When the priests abandoned Herispos, and no one knew the guardian deity's test process... No one knew?

Could it be that the female priest just now...

Get out! This is not a place for slaves like you.

We are no longer slaves!

Garula has liberated us, you have no right to drive us away!

If you guys don't want to take action, then we'll have to do it ourselves.

Stop!

Garula, you will regret it.

If you don't leave now, you'll regret it.

Humph, let's go!

Who can tell me what happened?

We wanted to buy some food, but the shopkeeper immediately chose to raise the price after knowing our identity.

We argued with the shopkeeper, and as a result, the shopkeeper called the security guard, accusing us of planning to steal something.

And then you saw what you looked like.

I understand.

After liberating our compatriots, is the next step to eliminate discrimination?

Maybe there are other reasons...

I will do it.

...We have always believed in you, Garula, and we will not let you down.

I understand.

(Liberating everyone from slavery is just the first step, the second step is to eliminate discrimination.)

(Is there any way to make Nebu face the liberators...)

Herispos lost something related to the Celestial ceremony.

I originally wanted to explain a few more things, but since you've dealt with the priest, there's no need for me to say more.

Celestial qualifications... Let's investigate a little.

A killer with no connection to the priest suddenly sneaks into Herispos to steal things, which is more like a novel than intel.

The traces of covert operations are too obvious, is it intentional?

Found you, Regina.

There are too many people looking for me, may I ask who you are?

I am Garula, people usually call me ''The Liberator of Slaves''.

Big shot, someone like you looking for me must be for ''that thing,'' right?

But even if it's you, I can't just hand over this thing!

No wonder he is a big shot who has been around the leader, his strength is outstanding.

Where is the thing you mentioned?

Are you talking about the thing I got in Herispos? I've already given it to you.

Is it fun to fool me?

Don't do this, don't do this! I'm serious.

I indeed infiltrated Herispos, and the traces left there can prove it, but this does not mean that I got anything from inside.

What's important is not what I got from Herispos, but what people think I got.

So, ''Qualification of the Guardian God''?

About this, I indeed took the Celestial qualification test and passed it, but...

Nowadays, your good friend Horus is in control of Nebu. If she doesn't admit it, having qualifications is meaningless.

...

Ahem, what you should actually do is not to become a Celestial, but to prove your strength to everyone.

Nowadays is a peaceful era, there are no opportunities.

No, it will be available soon.

...This is your purpose.

You want to cause internal strife in Nebu, and you're using us as the scapegoats!

I just followed orders, and it's too late to react now.

Lord Garula! Army! There is an army approaching our gathering place!

Army? Is the intel source reliable?

Not sure, someone passed the information to us, and we rushed over as soon as we got the message.

Garula... Damn, I originally wanted to find another time to explain, but if I don't explain now, it'll be too late.

Explain what?

In the Liberators, there are spies from other forces.

Some people are complaining that life now is not as good as it was when they were slaves, and some are deliberately doing things to tarnish the reputation of the liberated.

Last time we were misunderstood by the shopkeeper as trying to steal something, and it was because of this influence.

We originally wanted to resolve it internally, but before we could, the army arrived.

Did you mean the ''other reasons'' you mentioned last time?

Now is not the time to worry about this, which direction did the army come from, take me there!

Yes!

Look, it's that group of people!

They have been harassing the store, and I have received several reports already!

Don't shout so loudly, you represent the army of Nebu.

Uh... yes.

I just received a report saying that you are preparing to incite a riot, occupy the nearby city, and then establish a new tribe.

Now, please accept my survey.

...Caught up!

What are you going to do to them?!

Search, investigate, and if the evidence is solid, lock up everyone involved.

No one can despise the laws of Nebu!

I won't let you DMG them.

...Did you hold back? Why? Do you look down on me?!

I have seen you, Horus has praised you to me, and I trust Horus's judgment.

You are a fair person.

What are you trying to say?

There is a traitor within us, someone is doing bad things in our name, trying to provoke conflicts between us and the army.

Partial words, I only look at the evidence.

Listen, footsteps.

What?

It seems to come from a distance.

We can go there... um...

You got hurt, let me help you with some Healing.

Done.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Why did the entire city defense army come over?

We heard about the rebellion and rushed over immediately.

Stop everyone!

This is a trap, a trap for everyone.

Before, I encountered a female priest...

After fighting with Regina, I rushed over here and saw you threatening my people.

I suddenly received a message that you guys were planning to start a riot, so I rushed over immediately.

I was just about to investigate when you appeared.

We heard that Lord Taweret was defeated, and the rebellion has become a reality, so we came to support immediately...

I see...

...is that female priestess, she arranged everything in advance.

I will thoroughly investigate my people and send all those who have committed crimes to the Defense Forces headquarters for you to deal with.

Can we put an end to the conflicts between us?

Remember your words. Everyone, return to defense immediately!

You all heard what I just said, now go back and start the review immediately!

There's no need for that, Lord Garula.

...?

We have already secretly withdrawn everything.

Now, I'm probably the only spy still here.

Be brave.

This is not courage, this is called self-confidence.

Other people will use the identity of the liberated to cause trouble everywhere. Instead of me, it's better for you to catch those bad guys first.

That makes sense.

...Lord Garula, why haven't you ordered them to leave yet?

Other people are too far away, I want to catch you first.

Oh? The employer's instructions didn't say that...

You should let me go. The employer who designed such a big event would not make a mistake in such a small matter!

Pick up the weapon.

Wait a minute! There's still a chance to save others if you just go after them! Why!

Damn... Even if you catch me... The reputation of the Liberator can't be saved...

All of this is because you wasted time trying to catch me!

You are wrong.

All of this happened because of you and your companions.

I will not take any responsibility for the losses caused by you.

...you had the chance to stop it!

It seems that there is no way to communicate.

Hand this person over to the city defense army, and let's go after those traitors.

Lord Garula, the person just now had a point. Is it too late for us to chase after them now?

People will see the liberators attacking them, and then another group of liberators rescuing them.

People's perception of the liberated is limited to this, as for the truth...

I have a friend who tells the truth to everyone exactly as it is.

Your friend is...

Leader of the Nebu Alliance, Horus.

It seems that not only are there traitors doing bad things, but also people who want to fish in troubled waters.

She's coming! Save me! I just saw her ruthlessly take down our people...

I don't want to die, please!

My task doesn't say anything about fighting a ''slave liberator'', so you're on your own.

I'm leaving...

Where do you want to go?

What? How could it be so fast!

Isn't this your plan? Just like what the killer said.

This is the stage you have built for me to showcase my strength.

Yes, the stage is good, but the original opponents you were supposed to fight were those old nobles...

Plans can never keep up with changes.

Are you ready?

Is this all the strength you have?

I've said it before, there's no fighting in my tasks... I'm not good at it at all.

Your voice sounds off.

So quickly discovered, really worthy of Lord Garula.

I just said it before, I'm not good at fighting, what I'm good at is -

Escape.

Gone.

Lord Garula, all the missing traitors have been captured.

Well done.

However, we cannot confirm that these are all the traitors. There should still be hidden traitors among us.

What should we do?

According to the original plan, thoroughly investigate everyone, and hand over all the suspects to me for handling.

Yes!
