Laetitia felt like she was in hell.

For any subhuman race who is a slave or a vassal in the human world, the subterranean world of each city is as untouchable as their bloody wounds.

Where the sun can't reach them, they are locked in damp and dark cages, subjected to irresistible indentured trafficking, portrayed as drudgery, servants, playthings, and even brutally murdered in unnoticed corners...... And no one will reach out to them.

Therefore, when Laetitia realized where Su Wen was going to take her, her face instantly flashed with astonishment and fear, and although she put away this feeling well, she never said a word to Su Wen after stepping into this suffocating underground space. She didn't believe that Su Wen didn't know that when she was in Tridis, since she left the underground world, no matter what important things had to go, she resolutely refused to step into it again. That's pretty much the only thing she insists.

She felt a little angry.

Why, don't you ask my opinion?!

And then, this anger turned into an anger mixed with fear, not to Su Wen, but to the underground world in front of him that was even more excessive than he imagined.

If the underground world of other cities is still somewhat hypocritical with civilization and humanistic care, then the underground world of Mtase City must be an out-and-out hell, and the bloody scenes are so undisguised that the aliens from other parts of the continent seem to have really turned into pigs and dogs here, just some commodities to be sold at a price.

Lyetitia's eyes conjure up memories of the sufferings of her people and ancestors, and then gradually merging with what she had seen. If she was still a little skeptical about these forcibly instilled memories before, now she has completely believed in the many tragic encounters that she didn't even dare to think about, and they really happened to the half-elf race.

I didn't experience those things, but I was lucky.

But why is this so?

Whether it is a half-elf, an elf, an orc, a human, and a myriad of sub-human races, they are all living beings, why can some of them be high, while others are destined to be slaves, live out the lack of freedom and rights, and then die in unknown corners?

It's not fair at all!

Especially when she saw the row of subhuman specimens that had been skinned and placed at the door of the Slave Chamber to attract customers, Laetitia could barely suppress the anger in her heart. For a moment, she wanted to find out who had done it and make him pay a terrible price for it, but in the end she dismissed the idea with fear - in her childhood, the word "resistance" had never been used.

The unfamiliar word terrified her.

This fear made Laetitia a little distracted, and even Suven didn't listen to what she said to her later, and by the time she reacted, only herself and Douglas in the back seat were left in the car - the taciturn old man who never spoke unless he had to, and if you didn't look at him, you wouldn't have realized that there was anyone else here.

But fortunately, there are Douglas seniors here, and he is not alone, otherwise in this kind of place, I really don't know what to do.

For this old man who seemed to suddenly appear some time ago and claimed to be Su Wen's servant, Laetitia had already understood him as a part of Su Wen's mystery, and she was already familiar with this mystery. The old man was silent, but very careful in his work, and had been very careful in teaching himself how to recognize and use those unheard of weapons and equipment, and patiently answering all his doubts. Laetitia knew that despite his unattractive appearance, he was actually a cautious and gentle person, but he was ......

For some reason, Lyitia occasionally felt that the old man was staring at her for a long time, and although it was with the kind of gaze that seemed to observe a still life without any emotion, it was still somewhat uncomfortable. But other than that, Douglas is really a nice guy.

Thinking of this, even if Su Wen was not there, Laetitia was still much more relieved.

"Mr. Douglas, I seem to have heard my master say that we should wait for him here, did he tell me where he was going and when he would be back?"

Laetitia then said, but didn't seem to get a response.

Could it be asleep?

Laetitia thought, looking back at the back row, and the smile on her face froze. The rear seats of the off-road vehicle were empty, and there was no Douglas anywhere.

“......”

Laetitia's heart, which had just been put down, suddenly lifted again.

Douglas is the only one in her mind, and it is impossible for her to leave without permission in this situation, so there is only one possibility, and that is ......

'Master, why are you like this again!'

Laetitia suddenly wanted to punch Su Wen's chest with her fist, she remembered what happened last time in North Highland City, when that guy also sneaked away like today, and then left herself alone to deal with a group of robbers, although later she knew that he had actually been secretly ensuring his safety, just testing his ability, but at that time her heart was completely discouraged!

This bastard master is really excessive, that kind of thing is enough to come once, and now how can it come again!

But......

It must be another test.

Laetitia thought of Su Wen's trust in her eyes in the previous battle, but she almost failed this trust completely, and for a while she couldn't blame Su Wen.

'Wow, merciless master, just watch!' thought Laetitia, "whatever happens this time, I won't be as scared as I was last time." ”

She grabbed the Ghost-3 Stealth Armor Generator and unfolded it in standby. In this state, the stealth armor will adhere to the user's body like a soap bubble in an extremely soft form, and it may appear to have no protection from the outside, but in fact it can go from standby to active state within a thousandth of a second when threatened, resisting all external attacks.

Later, Laetitia checked her Tianhaiyue M-31 kinetic assault pistol - although the other two main weapons were by her side, in the current situation, this flexible and powerful auxiliary weapon was the best choice. Well, that's what Douglas taught himself.

Despite its small size, the Kinetic Pistol is loaded with 500 rounds of 1.27 mm Bee Sting armor-piercing rounds, combined with the powerful pulse power provided by the High Energy Reactive Core, which is capable of pouring 180 bullets in 1 second enough to penetrate most third-generation nanoarmor. Although bullets of this caliber have strong penetrating power but little lethality, and it is difficult to kill if they do not hit the vital point, if the target is beaten into a sieve in an instant, the lethality of a single shot is actually not so important. On top of that, it can also be switched to sniper mode, assault mode and even fire suppression mode, which means that for snipers who find it difficult to carry other major weapons, this kinetic pistol, which is only slightly larger than a slap and weighs less than two kilograms, can cope with the needs of combat in any environment, and at least it can be qualified, not to mention how good it is. This is exactly why the Tianhaiyue M-31 kinetic assault pistol is called the "perfect secondary weapon".

And just as Laetitia confirmed that the weapon was working properly and was about to adjust it to ready mode so that it could be activated at any time, she suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice not far away.

"Little girl, are you waiting for someone?"

Here it comes!

Laetitia's expression was sharp, and when she turned her head to look, she found that it was not quite the same as she had imagined.

It doesn't seem to be human......

With slender pointed ears, a handsome appearance, long flowing hair, a well-dressed outfit, and a perfect body, the person who accosted Laetitia was clearly an elven species. And the half-elf who combines humans and elves does not have a male, so this is a pure-blooded elf man.

He smiled brightly, and his face was very relatable, without any hostility.

"As a half-elf, it's dangerous to be alone in this kind of place, you should have companions, right?" said the elven man to Laetitia, as if he saw the latter's eyes looking at him with a wary gaze, and hurriedly took two steps back, keeping a safe distance of at least ten meters between him and Laetitia.

"Don't worry, I won't be very close to you, but I just happened to see my own people in such a dangerous place, and I felt that I couldn't sit idly by. If my guess is correct, your companion should be in the intelligence market over there, right?You may be the first time you've come to Mtase, and you don't know what kind of place this is, even if it's humans, it's better not to be alone in this kind of place, because danger can happen at any time - well, anyway, I'll be here with you for a while before they come back, lest there be any unsightly guys who get into trouble. ”

"This ......"

After a few words, all the words that Laetitia had prepared were nullified, she was the first time she had seen a purebred elf since she was born, and an elf with such selfless kindness.

"Thank you very much. ”

She replied, somewhat confused.
