"Caused by a person?"

Ryuto almost couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it is said to be related to a certain person."

"A certain person?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is a person wearing a black cloak and a mask."

"Black cloak, mask... Could it be?"

"Yes, it's the same person we mentioned yesterday at the Flos Palace."

"Isn't that the person leading those terrorists?"

"Although we can't be sure, it's very likely the same person."

Crepes·Clair nodded with a serious expression.

"But how could that person have caused the earthquake?"

"We don't know that."

"What? You don't know? How is that possible?"

"Well, the detailed situation is like this: three years ago on that night, a person dressed in a black cloak and mask suddenly appeared out of thin air in the slums. Shortly after, an inexplicable earthquake occurred. However, the earthquake didn't last long, less than half a minute. When people came to their senses, the once intact land had cracked open, and the nearby mountains near the slums had split in half. When people went to look for him, the person's figure was already gone. This is the information fed back to us by eyewitnesses at the scene."

Isn't that like saying nothing at all...

"So that's why you don't know?"

"Yes, because it's very likely the witnesses might have misinterpreted, after all, it was nighttime, visibility was poor, and there was also a noticeable earthquake that everyone could feel. Even if they misinterpreted, it's not that strange."

"But despite that, many people believe it, at least almost all the slaves do."

"Yes, in fact, that person seems to be revered as a savior by the slaves."

"A savior? Could it be..."

At this point, Ryuto recalled that a slave who had thrown stones at Crepes·Clair in the slave factory had indeed mentioned something.

"Yes, I think that should be the person they were talking about."

"But what about the miracles? That person seemed to have said something about hoping the savior will bring miracles again."

"Well..."

Crepes·Clair hesitated for a moment before resolutely lifting their head.

"Because all the slaves were almost saved due to that earthquake of unknown origin."

Although they were almost saved, almost freed from the identity of a slave because of that earthquake, in reality, the situation did not turn out that way, was it because of the appearance of Glaucus later? And after all, was the system of slavery already in place from the beginning?

However, this does not mean that the current slaves were originally slaves, because the current slaves must be more than before. Based on the past, with the addition of Glaucus, there must have been some people who were not originally slaves, or else those terrorists would not have appeared. Previously, those terrorists were mostly ordinary people, after all...

It's difficult for someone who was originally a slave to become a terrorist.

However, Ryuto did not mention anything about Glaucus, after all, the other party did not know that Ryuto was aware of this.

Moreover, Ryuto didn't inquire too much about why they were only almost saved. This was probably classified information for them, even if Ryuto asked, they wouldn't tell him.
