Chapter 43: Observation
Late at night, as the sun sank, the monster hybrids returned to what they could barely call home.
Because Larrant didn't allow them to spend the night in the city, they had to go back here.
However, when they returned here today, they saw the short, small child who lived in the cave waiting for them at the entrance of the slum.
"Everyone! Everyone! Listen to me! Bai ran around the door, shouting loudly.
The monster hybrids who had returned from exhaustion looked at each other, not knowing what the little girl was doing.
There are not many monsters here, about four or five hundred, most of them are young adults, and a small number of children, mixed male and female, according to the different origins of the monsters, it can be seen that they are engaged in occupations.
Some of the monster hybrids were dressed in rags and covered in sweat, but their bodies were quite strong, and they knew at a glance that they were doing manual labor.
Among these people, some have horns, more than half the height of ordinary people, some drag a tail, some are covered with scales, the least human of them is a man with black feather wings, he even has a beak that belongs to a bird, and his face does not look like a human at all, but the body still has a roughly human appearance, but the hands and feet are like eagle claws, which look very sharp, but unfortunately nine of the ten claws have been broken, and one seems to have been specially allowed to stay for work.
Most of the people in this group are men, but there are also many strong races of women, about dozens of people.
Human beings will never allow monsters to maintain the will to resist in the human realm, otherwise they will all be killed, no exceptions.
There are also some thinner ones, who should be engaged in the service industry, and there are many women and children among them, and the youngest is smaller than white.
Lu En looked at the outfits and conditions of those people, and basically concluded that they were not pretty, many of them were washerwomen, because their finger bubbles were swollen and purple, and there were many folds, children, boys were more black, and they might be small workers through the chimney, because the adults were relatively large and couldn't drill into the chimney, so they could only let the children go in to clean up, but for children, it was also quite narrow, and there was a lot of soot, which was difficult to breathe, and if you were not careful, you would fall down the chimney and fall to the ground, So you can see that these children have injuries on their bodies and cough from time to time.
As for some little girls, Lu En couldn't bear to see it, he knew that the source of the burns on those little girls' bodies, Larante had a lot of workshops for processing animal skins, animal hair or textiles, these workshops had a simple but very cumbersome preliminary preparation, that is, the animal hair, or silk cocoon, or animal skin was put into the boiling water basin to stir, and then taken out, brushed to remove impurities, children can only do this kind of work, the wage is very low, and it is very tiring, when stirring, the boiling water splashes out and is easy to burn, and the scalded blisters can only be solved by themselves.
There are a few clever ones left, and they are like white, and they look very human, and they wear a small hat with the name of the newspaper written on it, and these are the professions of the newsboy or the bag.
And farther away, at the back of the team, there is a group of people, they are covered with dust and exhausted, because of the relationship between the bloodline of the monsters, these are the endurance and foot strength are relatively good, they are the "lamplighters", the magic guide street lamps in the city need to have a certain amount of magic to be activated, among human beings, only people with "magic" skills have magic power, but many monsters are born with a little magic power in their bodies, which is useless, but they can activate a considerable part of the magic guide machinery, so many of them serve as lamplighters, Running around the streets, lighting the street lamps one by one, or being someone else's retinue, acting as a human switch for the master, because those nobles can afford to buy magic guides, but they don't have magic themselves.
However, the retinue will definitely not come back, they will follow the shadow of their master, wherever they go.
These monsters are hybrids, get up early every day to work, work as miners, porters, coolies, pick cotton, sell newspapers, nail buttons, shine shoes, wash people's clothes, prostitutes, waiters, waiters, and serve as service personnel, and any work involving knowledge and technology will be severely rejected by humans, and humans do not need them to master skilled technology.
They can only do the work of selling their physical strength and flesh, and from the moment they are born they are destined to work hard for survival.
No punishment in prison can be compared to such a life, but in order to make a living, in order to live, they have to do their best to even live this life, for fear of losing.
Lu En stood in the middle of the slum, he was a high-level monster, with excellent eyesight, and dark vision, and could clearly see the flow of people returning in the distance.
Bai was dancing and talking to those people, explaining what happened today, Lu En felt that Bai Hui, who had lived here for a long time, said it more clearly and credibly than he came forward.
Nana is by Lu En's side, and now she has unfolded her side of being a monster.
She's a relatively rare monster, barely a high-level monster, so she can become a professional in a very harsh environment, which is a talent as a high-level monster, and she can hide her monster characteristics.
Because, she is a vampire, although her blood is very thin, but the first thing Lu En saw, her fangs open in the dark, dark vision, and the appearance of being seriously injured in the woods, but not long to be alive, and the ability to put away her teeth at will, can confirm that her bloodline comes from a high-level vampire.
"How did this happen? Aren't you very resistant to this gesture? Lu En asked Nana with a smile.
"Hehe, it's like this, it's easier for you to speak, sir, they shouldn't resist you, right? Or are you ready to show your true appearance, sir? Nana scratched her head and replied with a smirk.
"I'm the real gesture now, if I have to show the side of the demon king, I need magic power, besides, it's not suitable to show my identity now, just gain a certain degree of trust, and then selectively let them know my identity in the future." Lu En shook his head and replied.
Just before, he revealed his identity to Shiro, which startled the little girl, but he also gained the trust of the other party, at least now, Bai is willing to believe that he is here to save everyone here.
And Lu En asked himself, he didn't lie to these people, he was here to save them.
With Shiro's help and Nana's appearance, Lu En felt that it should be enough to win the trust of these people, at least to make them willing to work for him.
Gain their trust, establish your own sphere of influence, and put an end to it all.
