Chapter 182: The Mysterious Human Family
In the carriage behind the Dragon.
The human slaves rescued by Erin were divided into four men and two women, and they were all six ragged villagers.
They sat with their arms folded on their knees, two of the female humans curled up together, and the remaining four men each took a corner.
The carriage is covered by a curtain, and you can't see the inside from the outside, and you can't see the outside from the inside, but fortunately, the curtain is not very thick, and the light from the outside can still penetrate to some extent, which makes the carriage not completely dark, but just dull.
I don't know if it's because of the oppressive environment, the six people sitting in the carriage are silent one by one, and the atmosphere is very stiff.
But soon, as if to break the gloomy atmosphere, one of the younger men finally spoke first.
"Just... Did the car stop for a moment? Tazik whispered to his companions.
He was referring to the time when Erin had spoken to Zero earlier.
Although the whole process was not long, it was not so difficult that it could not be felt, and everyone could perceive the bumps of disappearing, so Tazik just wanted to take this opportunity to let his companions talk.
Unfortunately, after a long time, no one answered him.
At first there was a look of loss on his face, but soon Tazik was still shocked, he looked around at his depressed companions in the carriage, and then raised his voice a little angrily:
"Everyone, now that we have all escaped from the territory of the demon clan to which we belong, this... Shouldn't that be joyful? ”
Tazik said, moving his gaze to the nearest male companion.
But the other party shook his head.
"Ran out? We're just getting caught somewhere else again, aren't we? The male companion's eyes were dim, and there was no light.
"Well, you also saw the two girls before... Those two demons, right? ”
Tazik originally wanted to describe Zero and Erin as girls, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he took them back, because he recalled the appearance of the troll being trampled under the feet of the other party, and it was really underestimated to describe it as a girl.
"They're definitely the upper demons, just by looking at their appearance, they know that they are different from those barbaric and rude lower demons, and their attitude towards us is obviously much better, at least... At least let's make the car! ”
Tazk tried to convince his companions to prove to them that everything was going well.
It didn't take long for his efforts to pay off, and his companion on the other side of the carriage also spoke.
"Are you a superior demon clan, if you guess correctly, they should be blood clans, right?"
"Bloodline... Why would the Blood Clan attack the territory of the lower demon clan, and... Take us captive? ”
One of the two women huddled together spoke in the same way.
But as a result, no one seemed to be able to answer the answer to this question, and seeing that the carriage was about to return to the silence at the beginning, Tazk remembered a certain passage from his mind at this time, and he suddenly spoke:
"You may not believe it, but before I was knocked unconscious by the maid, I vaguely heard that the Bloodline Lady seem to have mentioned something... Human Dependents? ”
Tazik struggled to recall Erin's voice at the time,
And his words immediately made the other companions in the carriage, who had been shrugging their heads, raise their heads in an instant, and all of them showed surprised expressions on their faces.
They began to look strange at each other and began to discuss in a low voice.
"Dependents?"
"I've heard Carl tell me that the Bloodline seems to be able to make a contract with another creature in their lifetime, so that the two sides can form a kind of permanent master-servant relationship, and the creature that is contracted is called the Clan."
"Wait a minute, Tazk, you mean that the blood clan of the superior demon clan has signed a master-servant contract with us humans?"
"This kind of thing, how... How can it be! ”
Almost all of his companions were negative and skeptical, much to Tazk's annoyance, and although he heard that sentence at the last second before he fell unconscious, he was sure that he had heard it correctly!
That Lady of the Bloodline, the terrifying girl who slaughtered the Troll Camp on her own, is indeed mentioning the Human Clan at the end!
Just when Tazik was racking his brains and thinking about how to prove himself, the last woman in the carriage, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke up.
"Could it be... Darlan? Finally, the woman's voice was a little hoarse, probably because of some kind of trauma to her throat, which may be why she is always silent.
But it was her words, but it was like suddenly waking everyone up, and Tazk was the first to slap his thigh and shout excitedly:
"That's right! I remember Carl telling us before our group left, and he finally agreed to let Dylan go out on a mission, and he said where he was most likely to go...."
"Isn't it the Blood Clan!"
Tazik's words gradually evoked memories of the other human slaves in the carriage.
It was late at night, and their followers were summoned to the black-haired boy's cabin, and it was also their last night in Divine Grace Village, because by the next day, they would all be "missing".
The slave plan was a necessary means for Carl to obtain "that" information, and the chosen person must also be willing and have a mortal mentality.
There are not many such people, they are almost the elite of the village, and some people questioned Karl at first, do you have to send all the capable people in the village out like this?
But in the end, the young man's answer convinced them.
First, the number of people in the village has reached the upper limit, and they must "reduce" the population, at least in name, or risk even more trouble.
Second...
As soon as Tazik remembered the crazy plan that Karl had said at the time, everyone was shocked and convinced.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be...
Bet!
Bet on the hopes of all mankind!
If they lose the bet, they may die in vain, and they will not even be able to leave their names, and they will be forgotten in unknown corners.
But once you win...
Tazk looked fanatical.
Because that will completely turn the situation around, so that their human beings will turn on the offensive and leap straight up from the bottom, becoming the next ranking battle reshuffle among the island demon clans...
Ranked first!
It is precisely this kind of reward that can make the elites of the gathering place willing to carry out such a ridiculous plan, and even Carl, as the head of the village, and his sister, Delan, have joined in.
It was a long time ago that people like Tazik were "trafficked" to other demons as slaves.
So much of what happened after that they didn't know it, after all, their time had stopped from the moment they became slaves.
And now, because of Erin's unintentional actions, they were rescued, time finally began to turn again, and everyone's thoughts slowly became active.
Combined with the human clan that Tazk mentioned, and the attitude of the blood clan towards them, it does seem that there is something different.
All the clues they know so far seem to point to one person.
That is, Delan, who may be sent to the Blood Clan Castle as a maid later.
"So, do you say..."
"Dyron is the clan that the Bloodline Lady said?" When Tazik uttered this conjecture, his voice was excited.
