🕑 Added 2022-09-29 06:32:09 +0000 UTCLogan stayed in the library without a break until 7 p.m. reading up on the drugs as well.
This drug, given to slaves is called Pium, there are several variations with different effects. But for the prostitution of slaves the Psé is used, which is a purple color, she has the effect of being a powerful antidepressant and stimulant while greatly increasing the libido. All this so that the slave can relax and support his condition while doing his work as a prostitute. But nevertheless the drug does not protect them from the abuses that can be done to them by the customers and on top of that the Psé creates a strong addiction.
"Performing a withdrawal will be complicated because from what I've read the healing skills and magics can't cure the addiction. So I'll have to wean them off with normal medicine. It would have been so much easier if magic could cure them." (Logan)
Seeing through the window that night had fallen, he decided to finally return to the inn with Aria. But in his bed, his mind could not stop thinking intensely, which partly prevented him from sleeping.
The next morning, after a somewhat restless night, Logan as agreed was going to meet the guild master. After the research in the library, he had spent his whole night on the methods he will have to use to implement his plan. He had come to various conclusions, to free the slaves, he would have to experiment. To see if his vector control skill could destroy the slave seals. However, these actions would result in severe pain if he failed and in the worst case death. Unfortunately, he couldn't do otherwise, now he had to find a guinea pig in quotes.
Then go to the store to learn about the drugs itself and how to wean yourself off it. Because the books in the library lacked information and skimmed over the subject. Then to find a way to go to the slave mines and the place where the experiments took place. For this, he had come to the conclusion that he needed the guild master. He understood that the guild master and Marie were exceptions who did not support discrimination against other races.
He knew that he was lucky to have stumbled upon them, because if he had been unlucky, it could have been very dangerous for him. If something had happened to him, he would have only himself to blame for his stupidity and his very naive temperament. However, he knew that he still had a lot to learn, but now he knew that he should definitely not rush. And now try to move forward in a careful, intelligent and thoughtful way.
In the office with the guild master seated and Mary as always by his side, he had engaged the guild master in conversation listening carefully to what Logan had to ask. Infiltrate the mines and the experimentation site, that was all Logan was asking. As for the rest of the drugs and the slave seals, he would take care of it himself.
The guild master after listening carefully to Logan's requests spoke up:
"It seems feasible to me to get you in, but I must make several conditions. First, you must not kill anyone on the premises, neither adventurer nor torturer. Second, you must make it look like a simple escape. Third, you will only release members of Aria's family." (Guild Master)
The roles having reversed, it was now Logan who was listening to the conditions. For him, all the conditions except the last one were legitimate and he wanted to answer, but the guild master anticipated.
"I know you have a problem with the last condition, but it's that or nothing. All of the conditions I've listed have the sole purpose of not attracting the attention of the kingdom's forces, but especially the church. If you kill someone, there will be a thorough investigation and covering the tracks will be much more difficult and much too dangerous. That's why this should be seen as a simple minor incident as it often happens, a simple escape of a small group of slaves without any bloodshed. And the last one is in the same sense if too many slaves escape it would cause suspicion. How could so many slaves have escaped? The answer is simple, someone helped them and again the church and kingdom services would look into it. So we're just doing the minimum without causing a big commotion that would put us in danger." (Guild Master)
The guild master's analysis was relentless, but true in every way, alienating the Church and the royal services would be far too dangerous. Logan, who had never faced the Church before, wondered if he was that dangerous. So he decided to run an analysis on the Guildmaster.
[No info available, analysis level is too low].
Realizing that Logan had used analysis on him the Guildmaster understood the maneuver behind this action. A huge pressure invaded the room and Aria started coughing violently with all her strength leaving her body and her breathing almost stopped. Logan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated as his body became numb and his head became heavy.
"The Church is not something you should take lightly for now you've only faced small trash! Low-level adventurers and monsters so for now don't even think about facing them! My offer is take it or leave it." (Guild Master)
Aria was on the verge of passing out and Logan was struggling with the pressure.
"Then the last condition, you will only be able to do an intervention in one and only one place. Either the Beastly Paradise or the mines or the guild of alchemists. Declared he the pressure now lowering to release Aria on the point of fainting.
The pressure released, the guild master continued to speak quietly:
"For the same reasons, if slaves of the same race were escaping from different places, that would be suspicious too. Now, I guess you're going to need some time to think." Said he as he released them and finished the conservation.
Logan then walked out of the guild master's office with his head grounded in everything he had said, Logan was missing something. If he was going to free the slaves, where would he put them, and where would he put them in a safe place. And now he was forced to make a choice about who to save. What was supposed to be an easy one, turned into a real headache.
So for the moment, he decided to refocus on what he could, that is to say the drugs and the slave seals. Aria who was next to Logan could not help looking at him and understood the difficulty of the situation. And she herself who was also thinking, because it was her family, did not see there how to do. But if she could help, she would do it in preparation and in action.
So he went to the store where Vengus was getting supplies of Psé for his bestial paradise. The store was not even hidden, it was well installed in the city a small sign which had as name the Colored Cloud. When Logan entered the store he understood why it had this name, there were vials of all colors. All these vials were of course different drugs with multiple effects and uses.
"Welcome dear customers, how can I help you?
The man in question was named Haizx a man of average height not very muscular with a light feverish mustache. Logan analyzed the whole store with a quick glance before speaking.
"I came to buy Psé for my slave." (Logan)
"Oh, I see to have a good time with her otherwise I also have Para the one if a powerful aphrodisiac stronger than Psé. With this I guarantee you will have more than a good time." Said Haizx while taking out a vial of pink color.
In front of Logan, there were now two vials, one purple and one pink. Logan was perplexed and asked what the difference was between the two, to which the man replied:
"Is it a slave that you intend to keep for a long time?" (Haizx)
"Yes, why?" (Logan)
"Well, if you intend to keep it for a long time I advise you against the Psé because there, it is certainly a very good aphrodisiac but it creates a very strong addiction. It acts on the nervous system: it limits tiredness, calms and makes go up in peak the libido. But tolerance sets in quickly and users must increase doses to feel the same effects, leading to health risks.
"What risks are we talking about exactly?" (Logan)
"Well, mentally, it causes behavioral disorders such as panic attacks, paranoid attacks, intense depression or anxiety that can go as far as suicidal ideation. In the long term, regular use causes memory and concentration problems, premature aging of the brain, and sleep disorders. And physically it increases body temperature to the point of dehydration that can lead to kidney failure. The heart rhythm can also be disturbed, which can lead to cardiac arrest. Or most commonly overdose which results in a progressive loss of consciousness, and cardiac arrest." (Haizx)
Logan then reviewed his encyclopedia and the effects were somewhat similar to ecstasy but more violent.
"So it destroys little by little the one who consumes it, so why sell it?" (Logan)
Logan already knew the answer but asked anyway.
"Well, the drug addiction makes them come back if they escape, they endure better the abuse that the clients do to them. And moreover it makes them behave like bitches in heat which the clients like." He said with a smile.
"But they do die at some point." (Logan)
"Nothing is easier than buying or capturing a new one all his girls are replaceable objects." (Haizx)
Some vials then exploded in the store causing multiple noises and surprised Haizx who wondered what had happened. Preoccupied by the destruction of his doses of precious drugs he did not notice that Logan was dangerously close to him. The man was frightened just as he met his gaze with glowing red eyes looking at him.
"What are the symptoms that announcement an overdose?" Logan asked, staring at the man.
"For Psé, it's the vomiting the excessively dilated pupils and the nosebleeds." (Haizx)
While at the Palace Bestiale Aria's mother looked at herself in the mirror of her room, a trickle of blood running from her nose. While in the other room Aria's friend Lissia was vomiting with difficulty.
Logan knew it now, time was short and they had to hurry and make choices. And of course, they would not be the only ones in this case. For at the royal castle things had also accelerated.
