Fifty-one, encounter with the slave catcher
Although Juri's strength is not as good as Loki's, in the forest full of natural breath, Juri's perception ability is still not inferior to Loki's. Almost at the same time, the two of them noticed that a group of people were approaching in a direction far behind them. Although they both hid their breath in some unknown way, they still couldn't escape the perception of the two.
"Did they all hide their breath from us?" "Juri glanced at Loki, then asked himself, "No, they don't look like they have discovered us at all." So, they're hiding their aura the whole time, rather than lurking after discovering us, so why do they hide it the whole time?"
Asking another question as if talking to himself, Juri turned his gaze to Loki, waiting for Loki's answer.
"Well, it's actually very simple. Loki shrugged, "Because they're human." ”
"Huh?" Although Juri only uttered one syllable in response, the question in his tone was unmistakable.
"Hey, you can't have forgotten who I am, are you? I'm not human. You see, I haven't chosen to hide the dark and evil aura in me right now, what does that mean?" Loki said lightly.
"Explain ......" with Zhu Li's head, how could he not think, "isn't it...... Explain that this is a place for people like you...... Uh, doesn't seem to be human...... It's the territory of creatures like you, anyway. Is that so?"
Loki nodded: "Well, yes, this is the territory of the demons. However, ordinary humans do not need to hide their breath when they walk here. Because although this is the territory of the demons, it is not without humans. Most of the demons don't produce, and if there are no humans here to produce food and cloth, then I'm afraid the demons will have to live a life that is completely solved by magic. After all, demons with a certain strength will use magic to replenish their physical strength and use magic to condense their clothes. ”
"So, humans here are slaves, aren't they?" said Juri. Coming from the Three Kingdoms era, she does not reject slavery, but it is still somewhat uncomfortable to watch other races enslave her own kind.
"Ah, that's it for now. But not anymore. Loki affirmed.
Juri cast an inexplicable look at Loki.
"You know, before I became a demon king, I was also a human being. Loki shrugged, "Okay, we'll talk about the rest of the matter when we get home, now let's see what these humans are here for." Obviously they can walk in the open, but they choose to hide their breath, these humans are afraid that there is something wrong with them. ”
As he spoke, the group had already walked in front of Juri and Loki. But as if they hadn't seen the two of them, they kept going.
And rightfully so. That group of people was only at the level of the first and second order, and the one who was the leader was only half a foot into the third order, and it was still the second order in essence. Loki is already a fifth-order master, counting a Zhuli whose strength is only more than the second-order, but he is like a fish in water in the forest, he can only be found by them to have a ghost.
The two of them looked closely and saw that it was a small group of about twenty or thirty people, with several carriages with them. Each carriage has a formation to prevent the breath inside the car from leaking out, so Juri has no way of sensing what is inside the car. However, after looking at Loki's thoughtful expression, Juri decided not to bother Loki, it seemed that Loki could sense what was in the car.
Within two seconds, Loki's face suddenly turned gloomy. However, other than the killing intent in his eyes, Loki didn't make any more moves, just stood still and let the crowd leave.
It wasn't until the crowd disappeared into the bushes that Juri asked Loki, "What's wrong? What did you see that could make you angry like that?"
Without saying a word, Loki pulled out the contract book from his bosom. I saw him wave his hand, and all the women who had been contracted before appeared around Loki.
At this time, Loki slowly spoke: "Demons, there is the breath of demons in those carriages. ”
"The breath of the demons?" Even though Juri is extremely smart, he doesn't know what Loki wants to express at this moment, "Could it be that those demons have hired these humans and want to do something secretly?"
Loki shook his head: "It's not pure demon breath...... It's a hybrid of demons and humans, and its breath is very weak. ”
Now Zhu Li is even more unclear. She simply didn't speak, and quietly waited for Loki's next words.
Loki sighed: "I told you just now that the humans living here in the demon race are actually not as humble as slaves in nature. Long before I was reincarnated, thousands of years ago, I had already made a series of laws that established the hierarchy of the five people. It's just a pity that this hierarchy is now basically unattended......"
"The fifth level of sinners is the lowest level, that is, the status of slaves. Whenever there is a war between the alien race and the demons, the prisoners of war captured by the demons are of this level. At the same time, the demon clan who has committed such a serious crime as treason, in addition to being sentenced to death himself, his entire family will be demoted to a fifth-level criminal. The fourth level is civilians, and most of the people, whether they are aliens or demons, are of this level. Civilians are working people who are not combative, and my law says that they are obliged to serve those in the upper echelons when they need them, and at the same time they are to work as productive forces. However, my law also gives them the right to dignity. For example, when a second- or third-level person asks a civilian woman to do something for them, uh, compare that or something, they have the right to refuse. However, fifth-level criminals do not have this power. ”
Taking a deep breath, Loki seemed to enter the mode of memory killing, and continued to talk endlessly: "And then there is the third-level citizen. This rank is basically a soldier and a low-level officer, and there are some local minor civil officials. This level receives some salary from the government every month, but it is not very much. But compared to the next two levels, they are not bad. It is important to know that criminals have no property rights to speak of, while civilians have to pay taxes every month. ”
"As for the second level, that's the nobility. This identity, except for a few special circumstances, is basically a hundred civil and military officials standing in the court in ancient China. They receive a good salary, but they also have to work accordingly. The civil officials helped me govern the country day and night, and the military generals pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers. ”
"Level 1...... He is called the Prince. There were only thirteen of them, but now they ...... There are only nine left. That's right, it's the patriarch of the thirteen great families that I personally canonized. Their power is considerable. They are guarded in all directions, they are not subject to any law, they are completely free from any law, except for treason, they can do whatever they want. Of course, these thirteen people were all old guys who followed me from birth to death, and I believed in them very much. It's a shame now...... Four of the nine remaining families actually betrayed me......"
"By the way, the children of the imperial concubine, the prince and the prince are all second-class nobles, and the other members of the prince's family are third-class citizens. What about you...... Strictly speaking, it is considered an aristocracy. At the end of that, Loki also turned his head and winked at Juri and the others. Seeing that they all turned their heads with a slight blush.
"Well, it's just nonsense just now. Now is the point. In the long years, there have always been some demons...... Well, it's not just the demons, anyway, there are some people in each race who get along with other races, and then there are hybrids. Some of these half-breeds look particularly in line with the aesthetics of their original race, so ......"
"So there's the slave trade?" Hearing this, Juri already understood what Loki was trying to say, "because these half-breeds have some alien characteristics, so they are particularly rare, and they are naturally very sought after by some so-called high society. Is that so?"
"Uh...... That's true, but I haven't finished talking about it yet. Loki was stunned.
"Alas, no matter what kind of world it is, there is a dark side...... In fact, I often saw slave traders who were turned bandits, but I cleaned them up and threw them to the government. Juri sighed, "So, were those people slave traders just now?"
Loki doesn't care about the embarrassment of being robbed before, after all, after finding such a smart girl, he must be mentally prepared to be guessed: "Well, yes." However, their strength is not very good, so I will leave it to you to practice. But there are two things to be aware of. One, the carriages were filled with poor children, and by the time they were taken into the carriages, their families were probably killed. Be careful not to hurt or scare them. Second, the strength of that leader is still not bad, and it crushes everyone present. When the time comes, don't talk about morality, go up and besiege him. At the same time, you must be careful, generally speaking, this kind of person has some hidden means, don't get out of the way. ”
"Yes!" the women nodded, ready to go. At this moment, Zhu Li suddenly asked again: "By the way, do you still have a note that you haven't said?"
"Ah, what precautions?" Loki's heart jumped, it's over, I'm afraid that little Jiujiu in his heart has been discovered. But at this time, he can only pretend to be crazy and stupid.
"Did you forget to say that those children are all cute girls, and they are all you will put in the harem in the future~~" Zhu Li looked at Loki with a sneer.
Hearing Juri say this, all the women stared at Loki to see what he would say.
"Ahaha, that ...... That one...... I ...... "Loki Khan, what the hell, is this the legendary inch of the harem and an inch of blood?" Is he going to be dropped by a firewood knife or a good ship today...... Why didn't this happen in the plane of the Apocalypse in the school park before......
"Hmph!" all the women understood what was going on at Loki's appearance, and they all snorted in unison.
Loki's heart trembled, this time it was miserable, but fortunately he was immortal......
Unexpectedly, Zhu Li shook his head and said: "Okay, let's not scare him, let's get ready to catch up, I wasted so much time talking before, and if I don't chase him, I won't be able to catch up." ”
The women answered, put away their fierce expressions, and chased into the distance.
However, Shion fell last unhurriedly, and turned his head and smiled at Loki before disappearing from Loki's sight: "You don't have to worry so much, the sisters are just venting your dissatisfaction with expanding the harem in front of them." In fact, if you really want to do anything to you, you probably won't be able to do it. By the way, if some people want to do something bad, my door won't be locked~~" With that, Shion very temptingly stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, and then disappeared from Loki's sight.
"......" Loki said that his heart still needs a while to calm down......
