Chapter 163: Slaves in the Mines
After Leitch returned to the Black Wind Territory, he posted a notice to expand the Black Wind Knights on the same day. www.biquge.info This was expected by the residents of Black Wind City, and it could even be said that after learning that Leitch had been made a viscount, they had been looking forward to this day! What's more, the Knights of the Black Wind also have recruitment conditions for recruits, but they don't want anything.
But what puzzled Luau, Leitch secretly told him to send a group of people to pretend to be recruiters every day to participate in the recruitment, I don't know what the adults are playing this trick for******
In the middle of the night, Leitch and his party of twelve secretly left the city of Blackwind and finally entered an old abandoned mine in the Blackwind Mountains.
The mine is not too big for three people to pass through in parallel, there are pickaxes hanging from the shelves in the mine, but they are rusty, and looking at the ground, you can even see some fungi in the dark corners - it can be seen that this mine has been abandoned for a long time, and if it were not for the fact that the pillars and beams supporting the mine are made of centuries-old ironwood, which is known for its durability, Warren and the others would have doubted that the mine would collapse at any time.
After traveling dozens of meters into the mine, Fern and the others unexpectedly found that there were torches burning in front of them, and under the torches stood two heavily armed Black Wind Knights!
"See your lord!"
The two Black Wind Knights were slightly surprised to see Leitch come here in person, and then respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted Leitch.
"You're doing a great job. Leitch complimented the two, which made the two Black Wind Knights as excited as if they had been beaten with blood, and then Leitch chuckled, "There are no guards here, you can come in with you." ”
As he spoke, Ratchet summoned two Majin Knights and walked towards the mine first.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing the two demon knights exuding a powerful aura, the eyes of the two black wind knights couldn't help but flash a trace of shock, but they also knew that this was just Leqi's summoned creature.
After passing the two Black Wind Knights, everyone came to a hall of thousands of square meters, in which more than a dozen braziers were burning, and the hall was illuminated with extraordinary light. Following the firelight, Niu Yi, Warren and the others unexpectedly found that there were more than a dozen iron cells in the hall, each of which was guarded by a heavily armored Black Wind Knight, and there were a large number of humans imprisoned in these cells, estimated to be nearly a thousand!
And judging by their appearances, these prisoners are all young men in their early twenties. But Niu Yi and the others didn't feel the slightest energy fluctuation from these prisoners, obviously, these were just ordinary people who couldn't be awakened, and at their current age, they no longer had any chance to awaken;
But what puzzled them was what the adults had secretly collected so many mortals for? Although they didn't want to think about it, their first reaction couldn't help but think of the various evil rituals related to the living in the legend; Fern and Warren's expressions flashed a little pale, but they didn't say anything, because Leitch was the lord they swore allegiance to! As for the Niu brothers, their expressions didn't change at all, and they didn't know if they were too nervous, or they didn't think of anything at all******
It was Orfina, looking at the thousands of prisoners, with an inexplicable smile on her wild pretty face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Of the eleven who followed Leitch, Luau was the most calm, for the thousands of prisoners had been secretly raised by Leitch - all young slaves he had secretly bought from various underground slave markets. However, these were only mortals, so he didn't actually spend much gold.
Most of the thousands of slaves who were imprisoned in the cell looked numb, even when they saw Leitch and the others coming, their expressions did not change in the slightest, but there were also a few people whose eyes flashed, but their faces turned pale, like death row prisoners who were completely desperate before their execution.
Ratche ignored the slaves, and walked straight to a special cell - the reason why it is special is that it is not a slave, but a demonic beast - six second-order demonic beasts, fire-toothed pigs.
Nearly twice the size of the average wild boar, with its long, flaring fangs and brown fur, the Flamefang Hogs are so aggressive that wild flocks often kill each other. Therefore, although the six fire-toothed pigs were kept in the same cell, they were divided into six small iron cages.
Seeing Leitch approaching, the six fire-toothed fangs all screamed, and even their bodies kept hitting the iron cage, as if they were going to use their flaming fangs to pierce Leitch. However, these cages are made of five-centimeter-thick iron pillars, so no one is worried that they will actually break out of them.
Lei Qi released a second-level magic calming technique on each of the six fire-toothed fangs, and then these fire-toothed pigs, who were still angry, calmed down strangely at this time, which couldn't help but make the people around them secretly surprised.
At Leech's signal, twelve Knights of the Black Wind dragged a Firetooth Hog from the cage and dragged it to the center of the hall, where there was a large newly built altar-like container.
According to Reich's instructions, the six Black Wind Knights drew their long swords at their waists and slit the throats of the six Firefang Fangs one after another, and the miserable blood gushed out, and the cry of the Firefang Fangs made the slaves in the cell tremble.
After bleeding the six Firefang Hogs, Ricky ordered the Black Wind Knight to open the cage in one of his cells and escort the hundred slaves held inside to the altar.
"No, I don't want to die!"
"My lord, please let me live, I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-month-old son at home!"
"I didn't expect that I would still be alone until I died, I am unwilling!"
******
Leitch hadn't done anything about the slaves at all, and most of them had been overwhelmed by their imaginary fears, and for a moment they were full of ugliness.
"No, I don't want to die!"
A slave struggled for a moment, then suddenly burst out of the crowd and ran in the direction of the exit. But he had barely taken a few steps when an ice pick struck his throat, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open - the man who shot it was the expressionless Retch.
And the slaves, who had also planned to escape, saw this terrible scene, and they finally did not dare to take that step. For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
"You're a bunch of shit. The first words that Leitch uttered with a blank face immediately made most of the hundreds of slaves look angry.
At the anger of these slaves, Leitch only smiled contemptuously - I saw a puff of black smoke flash on his body, and Leitch's whole body disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in front of a slave, and with a single kick, Leitch trampled the slave under his feet. And the slave, even with all his strength, could not shake Retche's thighs in the slightest.
"I said you were shit, and you seemed angry, but tell me, what else could you do but be angry?" said Retche, rubbing the soles of his feet against the slave's face, as if intending to trample him into the dirt.
"That's because you're a powerful Awakened One, and we're all just mortals!" one of the slaves yelled at Reitch in reluctance.
Leqi raised his head and glanced at the young man, and smiled coldly: "You are right, I am an awakened one, and you are all just mortals, so you are destined to be a waste all your life, destined to be bullied by the strong, and destined to live as humble as ants." Tell me, what's the point of your life? Think about how you became a slave in the first place?"
With that, Leitch withdrew his feet and looked at the hundreds of slaves with a blank expression.
Rich's words pierced the hearts of these slaves like the most ruthless sword, they were angry, they were lost, but they were also unwilling.
"Gods, why have you been so unjust to me?"
"Why am I not an Awakened?!"
"That's right, I'm a useless piece of waste, those slave traders killed my parents and ruined my wife, but I was trampled under their feet and watched!"
******
"The gods have forsaken you, but I can give you a chance to be born again. At this time, Leitch spoke again, and his words were like a silent spell, which silenced all the thousands of slaves in the hall, and everyone looked at the expressionless Leitch in confusion.
But Richie didn't care what the slaves were thinking, and when he had finished speaking, he turned and walked to the altar. I saw Ricky open his mouth and roar, and in an instant, a huge roar shook the entire hall to the rumble.
"Flo-Star!"
"Dewar-in!"
"A-Zain!"
"Lo-Bidada!"
"O-Dumin!"
"Tile-thorn!"
"Ao-song!"
Leitch roared seven times in a row, and each time it fell, it was like a thunderbolt, majestic and domineering; and the blood in the altar was burning, emitting a variety of brilliant flames, and even thunder danced on it! This strange scene made everyone hold their breath and watch without blinking; of course, Niu Yi, Fern and other Black Wind Knights were more shocked and curious, while the thousands of slaves were terrified******
The blood in the altar burned for a quarter of an hour before the flame was extinguished, and at this time, only a small half of the blood in the altar was left, but this small half of the blood exuded incomparably pure energy fluctuations, and even had a touching "aroma". Then, Reich slashed his palm with a dagger, dripping a little blood into the altar.
Eventually, Reich took out a gin from the Star Ring and placed it on the altar, and said with a blank face, "Drink this blood, and you may become an Awakened One, and of course, you may also lose your life because of the failure of your awakening - the opportunity is right in front of you, choose." ”
Hundreds of slaves stared straight at the golden wine cup on the altar, but for a moment, no one dared to move a step forward.
"I'm coming!"
At this moment, a young man covered in mud stepped out of the crowd, and it was the same person who had been trampled under the feet of Relch earlier. As the young man scooped up the blood with the golden cup, all eyes in the hall converged on his hands.
