Chapter 34: The Forces of the Parties (Part II)
"Six Martial Arts!" Otrom shouted.
"In!" Shibata Katsuya and the others knelt down on one knee in response, showing a gesture of surrender.
Otrom looked at the six of them and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has an old illness and will give me the throne before he dies, do you have any opinions?" ”
The six members of the Shibata Katsu family lowered their eyebrows, acquiesced to the reality in front of each other, and responded one after another: "I will swear to follow the Demon Spirit Emperor to the death!" ”
"Very good, you guys go down and prepare for the trip to the Warcraft Mountain Range, I will personally execute the next plan, I must speed up......" Otrom glanced at the dead Harchan with a look of disgust.
Hearing this, the members of the Six Martial Arts respectfully retreated.
King Harcan is critically ill, and the Demon Spirit Emperor succeeds to the throne, which seems to be a logical thing, and basically no one objects. Only the people complained, and they couldn't afford to make any waves, they knew that the Hilton Kingdom was probably going to be completely reduced to the land of the dead.

The Ancient Forest, the den of Cerberus.
Several black-robed men were scouting around, and even the Tower of the Cursed under the lair had entered.
"How?"
"The Tower of the Cursed has been completely destroyed, and the Book of Curses is gone, apparently someone killed the Cerberus guarding here and stole the Book of the Damned!"
Several black-robed men were talking to each other.
suddenly
A wave of magic fluctuated, the trees swayed, and a soft "brush" sound came from afar.
The black-robed people also felt this fluctuation and looked towards the source of their magic power.
A red shadow was rapidly approaching, and when the black-robed man reacted, a pair of red leather boots with magic landed steadily.
The red shadow turned slowly, and the first thing that caught his eye was the fiery red masked silk scarf, the fiery red arrow robe, the fiery red leather belt, all in all, everything was fiery red.
"Sister Li!" The black-robed people bowed their hands.
Sister Li's chin was raised, although she was covered with a silk scarf, it was difficult to hide her charm. "From today onwards, use the secret art of the Michel clan to search for the whereabouts of the Book of Curses, and anyone who covets the Book of Curses will be killed!"

After a simple tidying up, the house was immediately renewed. Louis decided to go out for a walk and get some air, and by the way, get acquainted with the customs of Kansas.
"Hey, hello, although a little presumptuous, but with all due respect, although I am only a gold-level adventurer, I know how to prepare low-level plant-based magic potions, and I can also manipulate the power of nature......"
Louie didn't expect to be entangled as soon as he came downstairs.
The other party is a woman who looks to be in her twenties, with a pair of big eyes with slightly curved corners, a small nose with a high nose bridge, and a glossy lip flap as if she has been coated with lip gloss, plus a small face, which is extremely cute.
However, her hair was actually long cyan, still a natural color, which was the first time Louie had seen it in this world.
Louis focused on the necklace that hung on her chest as a symbol of a gold-level adventurer, swaying violently with her footsteps.
Louis was surprised that such a young and beautiful woman could be a gold-level adventurer.
"What do you want to say?" Louis listened to the woman's jerky words, as if he couldn't clearly express his original meaning because he was too nervous.
"I know that your level is not limited to gold-level adventurers, I am just an adventurer who has just been promoted to the gold level, but I hope to be able to apply to be your companion and participate in the mission of the Warcraft Mountain Range in three days."
Looking at the woman's sincere and determined eyes, Louis was interested.
"What's your name?"
Originally thought that there was little hope, as soon as the woman heard Louis ask such a question, her beautiful eyes immediately blinked slightly, and she smiled: "My name is Letissa!" ”
"Earlier, you said that you can concoct low-level magic potions, and you can also have enough magical power to control nature?"
Letissa nodded vigorously, but she looked young and obedient.
Immediately, Louis also understood why such a young woman would be certified as a gold-level adventurer, and it was indeed extraordinary to have that kind of strength.
"Okay, I'll agree to team up with you. I'm new here and want to walk around, can you give me a guided tour? ”
"Really, really? That's great! I was born in Kansas since I was a child, and I am most familiar with the grass and trees here! Letissa patted her chest and said.
"Okay, then please." Louis gave her a kind smile in return.
Ever since learning about Louie's deeds from the other adventurers of the Bounty Alliance, Letisha decided to hold on to this thigh. Originally, I just had the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed.
The road is full of wheels crushing the ground, and the road is not as strong as the stone road, making it very difficult to walk. The potholed roads accumulate water and reflect the sun.
There are three freighter carts pulled by horned rhinoceros monsters driving side by side on the street, and the goods in the trucks are humans.
There was a row of men on one side of the van and a row of women on the other. The men wore a loincloth, while the women wore a tunic that looked like a cloth bag, and their hands were tied in front of them.
This is true for all three freighters.
The car stopped in front of a factory in front of it, and there were many people queuing up next to it.
Louis muttered to himself, "Slave ......"
"Not accurate, debt slaves to be exact." Letissa introduced.
Depending on the amount of the debt, the debt slave would engage in chores and rough work such as porterage, cleaners, and monster dismemberment for a specific period of time.
Because these debt slaves were to do predominantly manual work, the employer was obliged to provide a minimum of food, clothing, and lodging; Although these debt slaves had only the amount of pocket money, they also had a system of saving wages.
Louis continued to stare at them, and the men lined up next to the freighter were all skinny, with long hair and beards, and very filthy bodies.
Several law enforcement knights doused them one by one with life magic, made them wash their bodies on the spot, and then had the cleaned people inspect their bodies in the same order as the guards treated domestic animals.
It's like dealing with dirty, not with your fingers, but with a stick.
Letisa was expressionless, her pink hands clenched into fists, and she whispered, "You must wonder why they won't resist, right?" Because those who resist will be ruthlessly pushed down by the knights who are on standby in the rear.
With even the slightest resistance, they will be suppressed by several people and carefully examined in a more humiliating posture. At the end of the examination, their hands and feet will be tied behind their backs and thrown to the ground in a backward bend state, like garbage. ”
It is not difficult to hear from Letissa's emotions that this lovely-looking woman is also a poor person with a story......
An elderly man at the back of the line, probably injured, staggered a little just by standing, and fell to the ground as soon as he was poked with a stick.
The knights, not wanting to delay progress because of this one man, rudely grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up, keeping him in a half-fallen position, and poking him all over with clubs.
Louis sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's cruel." ”
The behavior of the knights in front of him was even more cruel than when Louis was torturing people as a demon.
