The Original Purpose [Part 1]

A cage was dragged on a platform truck, making a harsh rattling sound. The cage was covered by a black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside. Robust men were pulling that platform truck, each looked very nervous. Surrounding those men was the Imperial Army, and installed right in the center was a huge magic circle.

“Will we make it in time?” The chief delegate in charge of this troop muttered before he broke into laughter as he thought they would definitely be able to take possession of the Kingdom with this thing.

“Alright, put the cage in the center of the magic circle and unlock it.”

They would use a magic circle to transport that thing inside the cage to the Kingdom before the Imperial Army reached there.

“Pardon, Chief Delegate. It’s still not too late. Opening that thing’s cage will be dangerous.”

One of the men surrounding the cage voiced his opinion. They lost thirteen people when trying to capture that thing alive.

“Humph. Dangerous… Wasn’t that what we wanted? We’re sending it to the Kingdom exactly because it’s dangerous. That thing will do the hard work first for our troop. All the hunters permanently stationed in the forest and the surrounding villagers will have been burned, and by the time we get there, there’ll be quite a view to enjoy.”

‘Oh, right, the hunters… together with the unfortunate king who just happened to participate in the extracurricular lesson…’

The chief delegate was knowledgeable about monsters. Unlike in the Kingdom, those specializing in Monster Science received preferential treatment in the Empire.

In the Kingdom, monster hunting was left to the borderland lords, but in the Empire, people educated on monsters rarely ever hunted in the borderland. Those with valuable brains who could master Monster Science only needed to simply issue instructions in the safe offices in the Imperial Capital. Only the people on the field needed to act. Many among them were slaves, whose existence was banned in the Kingdom.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Do you know? Apparently, that monster often appears near the barrier of Skyte territory where the magic circle is.”

The chief delegate smiled evilly.

“That monster… Ah, could it be… the rainbow raccoon?!”

The men who transported the cage were filled with unrest. They were able to capture that thing because it was on its own, but if there had been rainbow raccoons on the Kingdom’s side…

“Well, I heard that the Kingdom’s hunters are excellent in their own way. They might be able to weaken that thing’s power to an extent.”

The chief delegate brushed aside the agitated men’s worries, saying that their troops could just wait until the monsters tired themselves before capturing them.

“No way… That’s the rainbow raccoon, you know?! That’s impossible! No matter how experienced and excellent the Kingdom’s hunters are, no one could keep calm when facing that thing inside the cage and rainbow raccoons at the same time!”

The chief delegate’s idea was to put castles in the air. No matter how excellent a hunter was, battling against that thing and rainbow raccoons at the same time was impossible.

“Quit whining. Hurry and move the platform truck.”

The chief delegate ordered the men to pull the platform truck before their agitation spread to the troops.

‘I don’t want to miss this perfect chance to bury the Kingdom… no, bury that infuriating King. The only sovereign who dares to make fun of me, the Empire’s chief delegate, so much is only the Kingdom’s King.’

“Chief Delegate, the cage’s installation is complete.”

The cage along with the platform truck had been put in the center of the magic circle. The men had also moved away from the magic circle, leaving only one person on it to unlock the lock.

“This is highly dangerous. Teleport it away as soon as the cage is unlocked. Not even a second late, got it?”

Some of the soldiers on standby in the area started to look anxious as the men continued insisting on paying more attention to safety.

“Tch, how persistent. We understand at least that much. Hey… the magicians over there, be sure to send it over when he unlocks the cage if you don’t want to be covered in flames.”

At the chief delegate’s instruction, the magicians surrounding the magic circle pulled down their hoods to hide their pale, nervous faces and nodded. After all, that thing inside was a highly dangerous monster that could only be captured with a cage made of precious magic stones.

*whoom*

The magic circle shone.

“I shall unlOCK the cage!”
