"Hum Hum Hum ~"

Alec happily hummed a tune and drove happily in the carriage on the avenue outside the city. He was a lean man, so he was called Lean Alec.

However, he prefers another name of his own: Alec the Slave (River Crab) Affiliate Dealer. The slave (river crab) trade was a traditional industry in the empire, but it was once very sluggish: if you don't conquer and don't fight, where will there be so many slaves (river crabs)? But now the chaotic situation has given guys like Alec a chance to make a fortune.

The large-scale riot of Klamorgan gave him the best chance to collect money, how could that group of scumbag peasants be the opponent of the Imperial Legion with magic armor, and the final outcome was not to be hung up, and the rebel wives and children would also suffer from their madness, lose their freedom, and become a lowly slave.

But Governor Vials stood in his way. The Governor himself wanted to abolish private slavery throughout Vile. All slaves became male slaves, and they were all under the control of Governor Violse. In peacetime, he participated in the construction of public facilities and military training, and served as cannon fodder in war.

If the owner of the estate does not have enough labor, he can apply to the Governor of Vierce for the right to use the slave (river crab) subordinate, and the Governor of Vierz will dispatch labor at his discretion. In the event of abuse, killing of slaves (river crabs), the owner of the manor will be severely punished and even thrown into prison.

This measure really killed multiple birds with one stone, which not only improved the situation of the slaves (river crabs), but also made themselves rich. Of course, it must be based on making a fortune on your own.

Governor Nero didn't have the naivety to directly confiscate the slaves (river crabs) in the hands of the lord of the manor, which would be too offensive. She began by prohibiting the private slave trade.

This is a bitter slave (river crab) subordinate to the dealer Alec, isn't this smashing his job!? Cutting off people's financial routes is equivalent to killing their parents, and Alec's heart is full of business injuries.

Fortunately, Maximus, the first citizen of Briton, came to the bottom of the pot at this point in time, took away the military power of the governor of Vielse, and gathered three heavy regiments by himself, preparing to fight back to the Eternal City as emperor.

The country's most important organ of violence was gone in an instant, the militia in the countryside was completely useless, and Nero's policies were immediately unsupported. The Violce tribes were once again quarreling over the "plan to choose the king", and it was almost to the point of fighting each other, and the hero around her, Lady Leke, who could withstand thousands of troops, could only be sent to pacify the Viorz tribal leaders.

In short, all kinds of misfortunes made Nero angry, and she walked around the city of Randafrey with a wooden stick, and when she saw people who did not like her, she couldn't help but chase and beat them. But it was useless to be angry, without the support of the violent machine, the bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes turned against the sky, and Alec continued his business in this chaos.

He had just sold 300 young slaves to Bishop Raneri, received a payment of ten pounds, and had joined the papal dain.

Alec was sure that he would never be held accountable, because it was Bishop Ranelli who bought his goods, and held most of Violce's core supply. With such a customer, what are you afraid of the governor of Violce?

He was in a good mood now, and even the bad weather with dark clouds and lightning and thunder did not affect his good mood.

However, Alec forgot one thing, and not being held accountable does not mean that he will not be punished.

"Shhh

It was the neighing of horses, and there was something terrible that disturbed the minds of these sensitive animals, who refused to go any further.

"What's going on...... You stupid brutes! Why don't you go!? ”

Alec swung his leather whip and slammed it on the horse. The two horses pulling the cart neighed in pain, but they did not dare to take half a step forward under any circumstances.

"Damn! ...... the hell

Alec stepped out of the car to see what was keeping the two fuss animals from making a fuss. He walked to the front of the road and immediately stood in astonishment.

Thick green vines spread from path to road, not the slow-climbing vines that can be seen everywhere, but writhing like earthworms. The xylem is tough and full of sharp thorns, and a large flower grows at the tip of the vine. However, the flower was not beautiful in color, and was covered with spikes like flytraps, like the mouthparts of monsters.

If Alec were a druid, he would have recognized it as the mythical "Man-Eating Pea Vine". But even if he didn't know anything about such myths and legends, ignorance didn't make him fearless, and the huge and curious appearance of the vines still spread fear in his heart.

"Hey, slave (river crab) dealer, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to ask you."

Behind the huge vines, a tall man slowly walked out. He was dressed in a black monk's robe, and he was greeting Alec who was about to pee in a fright.

This man may have done some research a long time ago, otherwise he would not have recognized Alec as a trafficker at a glance.

"You...... Don't come here! I...... I don't know anything! ”

Alec shouted, trying to run. That unseeded look made the black-robed man pout in disdain.

"Go!"

The huge vine followed the command and released slender vine branches, which wrapped around Alec's feet, causing the slave trader to fall on his heels.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, slave trader. Believe me, heroes can be evil, but heroes never break their promises. ”

It seems that this guy is another legendary hero, and although Alec has never met him, this guy's characteristics are the same as the wanted warrant.

Tall figure, black monk's robes, lean short hair. As for the portrait or something, it is too freehand, and the subjective conjecture of the painter is added, such as the hero in front of him with clear facial features, although there are no features, but this thick eyebrows and big eyes are a positive figure at a glance, and the ferocity of a butcher on the portrait is completely different.

Although his facial features are unreliable, clothes and the like can also be COS, but the devouring vines that follow him can't be faked.

An evil hero who partners with a half-plant, half-animal demon......

"Moder the Apostate!"

Alec shouted out the man's name in horror. As a merchant who had been to the continent of Olopa, Model's name was thunderous to him. This dark hero was once considered a devout monk, erudite, and known as "Mademo Model". But everyone was deceived by his performance, and he made big news in the 21st year of Starfall, burning down his temple and killing the visiting archbishop of Germania.

Since then, he has been working on the destruction of the Temple, and six bishops and archbishops have died at his hands. Eight temples were destroyed, and he became the apostate Moder.

"I really didn't expect my name to be so loud. But I want to correct that I'm not an apostate at all, it's just that I've never changed my faith, I'm just purging the church of the dross. Professionally, I am a priest in the truest sense of the word. ”

Model's tone remained calm, but he began to look the greedy merchant differently. After all, there are not many ordinary people who know that his name still has the strength to run away and dare to talk to him.

"Now I'm asking you to answer, you're a trafficker, so this time the buyer is ......"

Alec didn't speak, just shook his head and glanced at the road behind him.

"Hmm...... The Holy See, right, but what about the number of people? “

"Three Hundred ......"

"So much...... Looks like I'm right here. ”

Moder clenched his fists, and there seemed to be a bit of hideousness in his eyes, which frightened Alec almost **.

"Don't be afraid, my anger is not directed at you. So the last question, do you know what those poor children will do to Bishop Abel of Raneri? ”

"The bishop doesn't tell me anything, he only wants the young slaves ......" "And you just want money, don't you?"

“……”

Model's eyes narrowed dangerously, like a cat staring at a mouse.

"Don't ...... I...... I'm not lying......"

"Yes, I can see that you are not lying, even though you are telling me the truth, you are playing a clever trick. Just because the bishop didn't tell you doesn't mean you don't know, right? ”

The vines behind Moder stood dangerously, their massive mouthparts dripping with yellow slime, and the thick vines began to circle around Alec, framing him in the middle.

"No...... Don't ......"

"I said I wouldn't hurt you, and I did what I said. Green vine', don't get excited, you'll have something to eat. ”

Moder waved his hand, and the huge vine slowly retreated, plunging headlong into the ground.

"You go, your retribution is not mine."

With that, Moder got up and left, and continued along the avenue towards Lanetri, leaving only Alec with a blank face. His legs are now so weak that he can't stand up at all.

To be honest, Alec was a little proud of his performance just now, he didn't pee his pants!

"But I managed to save my life, and more importantly, my ...... Oh, baby! ”

He clutched the ten-pound gold coin bag in his arms, as if he were holding his own young child. However, although there is a saying that "if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future", "there is no such thing as happiness, and disaster does not go alone" is also the experience summed up by the working people.

Soon, Alec couldn't laugh anymore.

"Loro, what do you see I've found? A merchant, an unscrupulous profiteer, an unscrupulous slave trader, a scumbag who can do anything for money, and he also brought ten pounds of money. ”

Lindenwan pointed to Alec sitting on the road, his system had clearly told the host what the lean man in the distance was.

"That's great! Ten pounds is divided equally between everyone, but no matter how little money is, it is money. And...... He doesn't seem to have any defenses? ”

"Big sister, what are you waiting for, let's go do it."

Sadosi licked his lips, he had long been impatient with the sport of robbery.

"Uh...... It's not good to do that, and he's not a slave trader, and he's ......"

Altoria, who was traveling with her, was still a little hesitant, as a sheriff, she would not engage in inferences of guilt. But Lin Dengwan ignored her advice.

"Just catch it and beat it up. And Artoria, if he is really a human trafficker, must have a lot to do with this mission. Sadothsi, since you are so active, go up, take a stick, and don't beat people to death. ”

Artoria's mission was to track down the profiteers who were trading slaves privately, and Nero thought that these bastards would have dared to defy him.

However, Sadowsi's enthusiasm for robbery seemed to have subsided suddenly, and instead of acting immediately, he looked at Lolo.

"Do as Boss Linden says!"

"Okay......"

Sadosi lifted the stick and walked forward, startling a crow along the way. It flapped its wings in horror and flew eastward.

In this way, the slave trader Alec ushered in real retribution.
