- [You go to the scene of your father's dinner first, try to sneak inside to observe the situation, and rescue your father if he is in danger...... If there is no danger, try to stay as still as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ】

This was the last order from his master, Sophia, and Cam would have followed it strictly under normal circumstances. But at this moment, he fell into hesitation.

The reason for this lies in the fact that trucks with iron cages covered in canvas are making their way through the stone streets. The target that was lost due to the attack of the 'Legendary Blade' is now back in his sight because he successfully repelled the target.

As previously reported to Sophia, there was no doubt that the young orc children were being held in those iron cages.

Of course, it wasn't that Cam had disobeyed Sophia's orders, he was still on his way to the banquet hall, but rather that he was only a stone's throw away from his destination.

Until now, the wagons carrying the orc children had been on their way, almost enough to prove that they were being transported to the same destination as their own, the banquet hall where the lord Count Lutga was. This also shows that the situation of these orc children is very dangerous.

You know, that banquet hall is now full of guests of human nobles. Whether they are so-called kings or rebels, the value of the orcs will not change in any way for humans. It's not hard to imagine what would happen to the children at a feast of human aristocrats, presented to cleaned, naked orc slaves. Shephilia's story of the misery of her childhood echoed in Cam's mind.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel afraid - if he hadn't met Sophia and been rescued by her on the day he was attacked by the 'Gray Beasts', then he and his sister Ricky would have become part of the iron cage now.

- They must be saved......!

The instinctive impulse turned into an urgent thought, which was constantly forcing Cam to act, but self-control told him not to act rashly. Sophia, the master, told him that if he really wanted to improve the status of the orcs in the empire, the revenge and rescue of the half-witted people would be useless.

The situation reminded Cam of John, the human boy of his own age, who was also forced to wear a maid's suit and always follow Miss Alice. Not long ago, he rescued a large number of slaves of human children who had been sold abroad from foreign merchant ships in the port city of Regedia.

To be honest, he admired John very much, and he admired Miss Alice's courage and courage to put an end to it. Although, her own owner Sophia has a different opinion on this, she thinks that Miss Alice's actions are too casual, and she has not considered the problems and risks arising from this, and she has lost her temper because of this.

Cam was a smart child, and he knew intellectually that Sophia's teachings were correct. What's more, the situation of orc slaves and human slaves is not the same. Although there are still many problems with the post-mortem resettlement of the human slaves rescued by John and Miss Alice, their actions are, at least on the surface, a 'righteous act' that is widely accepted.

And if you choose to do the same wayward and recklessly, although there is no difference in what you do, from the perspective of the imperial human beings, the nature is diametrically opposite.

If John was - a brave young man stepped forward to save the poor people of the empire from the hands of the vicious foreign slave traders, and did justice with his strength.

Then he is - a despicable bandit shamelessly cunning, snatching the filthy orc slaves from the noble and glorious nobles of the empire, and spreading chaos with violence.

It may sound unfair, but it's also helpless. After all, in the common sense of this country, there is such a wide gap between the identity and status of humans and beasts from the fundamental concept.

Even if he was impulsive now and rescued the children in the iron cage, he couldn't find a way to deal with the aftermath on his own, although the lord Count Lutga did not show discrimination against the orcs, and even helped to take care of his young sister with great enthusiasm, but after all, he was in the position of a human nobleman, and he could not settle the orcs like he did for those rescued human children.

So, after some inner struggle, Cam finally decided to grit his teeth, turn a blind eye to the tragic situation in front of him, and hide the guilt that comes from it deep in his heart.

It was at this moment that Cam and the van arrived at their destination at the same time, the scene of the dinner.

"It's time to get down!"

Just as Cam pondered how to sneak into the banquet hall, a rough shout came from the direction of the van. I saw the burly groom leap out of the seat of the car and fall to the ground, he rushed to the back seat, pulled away the hemp canvas covering the iron cage, pried open the iron door, picked up the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it hard at the child in the cage.

Exposed to the cold night wind, his skin was slightly purple from the cold, and after being whipped by the horsewhip, he immediately left a rosy scar. At the same time, the cold also made the pain more sensitive than usual, and the child who was hit immediately let out a sharp cry of sorrow.

"Scream, scream, let you scream again! It's fucking neat on such a cold day!"

The groom had no intention of stopping, but kept waving his arms so that the whip fell evenly on all the children in the cage, causing the screams and whip marks to increase.

Don't always get angry when you find an opportunity, you must know that the big nobles who control the government are present today, and it will be bad if the quality of the 'goods' is too ugly, and you will be the unlucky one at that time!"

The driver of the other wagon stopped his companion's atrocity, but his words were not motivated by pity for the orc children. Judging from the costumes, the shoddy linen clothing of the two is enough to prove that they are nothing more than paupers. Although he can barely put on the posture of a 'human master' in front of the orcs, in the eyes of the nobles, the poor people who are like mustard are not much different from the orcs.

"Whew!"

Poked in the sore spot, the burly groom smacked his tongue, he put down the whip in his hand, and chose to directly use his hands to pull the orc children's hair and tail alive, as if grabbing livestock, and dragged them out of the iron cage one by one.

Although his actions still caused more or less minor injuries, it did not leave much scarring, so his companions on the side turned a blind eye.

"I'll go, this idiot actually peed all over the ground!

But the good times were short-lived, and when he found the water stains leaking from the iron cage, the burly man once again threw up his whip in a rage, and let the lumps of flesh roll back and forth on the ground in pain, and the screams were incessant.

"Okay~~ Don't be so angry, it's better to ...... than to spend your strength" The companion gently patted the man's shoulder to soothe, and at the same time showed a pretended deep smile, and continued meaningfully, "Find some happy ways to play." ”

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Look, these orcs. Actually, it's not much different from a human, and when you wash it carefully, your body and face are surprisingly beautiful, aren't you?"

"So...... yes, hey, don't you want ......?"

"You guessed it right, brother!" As if to confirm his claim, the man skillfully opened the iron cage behind his car and stretched out his hand to pull out an orc girl, "So you see, this business has been doing for a long time, occasionally...... There's also some eye-catching treasure mixed in, like this one, right?"

"Oooh......"

The orc girl in front of her suddenly made the thunderous man speechless, revealing a surprised look.

To be honest, he had never seen such a beautiful orc...... No, it should be said that even if he frequently went in and out of the upper city of the imperial capital, he had never seen a more beautiful noble girl than the orc in front of him. In addition to the triangular towering ears and the thick fluffy tail, the charm exuded by the girl in front of her, combined with Chu Chu's pitiful temperament, is enough to make people forget to think.

"Wait, wait, how can this be such a beautiful slave who has been abused all day long?"

"Hehe, brother, you may not know much about this line of work just now. There are various races among orcs, and although I don't know much about the details of sobriety, there are indeed species that are naturally fascinated by people and can remain beautiful no matter how you treat them...... This is just the best example. When I saw her today, I knew I had hit the jackpot!"

The man's companion was not wrong, for Cam, who was now far away on the eaves, had also seen the enchanting beauty of the beast maiden, and recognized at a glance by the characteristics of her ears and tail the unique race that had once been occasionally mentioned among the tribes, the gold-tailed fox.

Basically, the difference between orcs and humans is the body's ability to adapt to the natural world. Whether it is excellent senses and a strong body, it is one of the intuitive embodiments. And the Golden-tailed Fox Man, a special orc, although they are not comparable to themselves in terms of physical ability and sensory sharpness, they are born with extraordinary magical adaptability, and it is rumored that they can even be compared to the forest goblins that inhabit the north.

Not only that, due to the scarcity of the golden-tailed fox clan, the women of the tribe have a strong ability to charm the opposite sex in order to reproduce the race, and also to use men of other races to protect their own safety...... Not only in terms of appearance, but also the smell of their bodies, the magic that wafts away, etc., will have a complementary effect on this. As long as it is a race that can reproduce with it, it is difficult to resist this innate charm that stimulates the instinct.

However, things must be reversed, and the Golden-tailed Fox Clan has also paid the price for this natural advantage. After the Empire underwent a bloody transformation and the Goddess Cult deprived the orcs of their freedom, the Golden-tailed Fox Clan also became the most sought-after slave species because of their beautiful appearance, and was hunted and treated most cruelly. Years ago, they disappeared from the Empire as if they were extinct.

"Hey, doesn't it really matter? You just said that...... These 'goods' are all 'used' by those nobles tonight, and I'm afraid that our miscellaneous coachmen will ...... if they do it casually."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, wash it afterwards, and you won't know it. ”

"But you see, she's only so young, if it's the first time...... It's easy to goof!"

"So brother, you don't know the situation, the orcs sent here are used for 'other purposes', and they will definitely not be discovered......!

"Oh oh, then I'm not a guest—"

Even from such a distance, Cam could smell the 'smell' of the two human coachmen, and hear the sound of 'grunting' swallowing spit.

At the same time, even though they are only immature children, the natural charm of the golden-tailed fox still has a decisive effect on Cam.

Until the 'sanity' that could barely hold on to it just now, it was simply crushed. Cam had already come up with no other option in his mind than 'save her'. No...... It is not such a noble feeling, it should be said that this ignorant young man has a certain strong 'exclusive desire' from the bottom of his heart, and it is this wonderful 'possessiveness' that prompts his next amazing move-

"[Archer], [Saber], [Assassin] Loading ......"

As if lost in his soul, Cam's eyes lost their lustre, and all three rank cards were activated at the same time. The bullet from the anti-materiel rifle blasted the burly driver's head away before he could make a move. In an instant, the viscous plasma and the remains of flesh and bone flew like exploding watermelons, and the remaining jaws and tongues even instinctively writhed and twitched.

The next moment, the companion beside him didn't even realize what was happening in front of him, and the hot pain came from all over his body one after another, and the sharp slash marks left by the high-frequency vibration scythe on his body made the fragile human body instantly disintegrate into pieces of the puzzle. Originally, the orc girl who was dragging in his hands had fallen into the arms of the maid in snow-white armor at this moment.

In this way, Cam launched a merciless and even radical attack on the two human coachmen, even beyond the scope of necessity, but-

- Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you? Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you.

Such gentle words, in the trance of the spirit, Cam could not even say half a sentence. He had forgotten the orders from his master, and now all he could think about was the golden fox girl in his arms—the small eyebrows, the fair face, the shiny hair, the bewitching pupils, the cherry red lips, everything made his pulse uncontrollable.

But after all, he was too young for Cam to know what to do now, or how to soothe the irritation, just when he was overwhelmed and dizzy. Warm, moist, and soft to the touch invade his mouth. Then, the violent sweetness of the seasoning known as granulated sugar, which spread rapidly, as Ariezer had invented, caused Cam's consciousness to drift further and further through the chaos until he lost consciousness......

(Please have a candy when you meet, everyone understands.) ）

**

Rutga was an aristocrat who loved cooking.

It's not that he boasts, even the cooking skills of Hilda at home are the result of years of cultivation by himself. For the ingredients, seasoning, and heat, Lutga has his own stubborn insistence.

I have to admit that the dishes in today's banquet hall are all rare and good. It can only be said that the cooking skills of the chefs of the imperial capital are indeed worthy of their reputation. Moreover, their cooking skills are not only reflected in the 'cooking' aspect, but also the most basic aspects of material preparation, from slaughtering, bloodletting, dismemberment, peeling, etc., to the most basic aspects of preparation, can be handled with exquisite techniques.

Lutga also has a lot of experience in this, after all, in the age of knights, he was proficient in the handling of many wild animals and magical beasts, and at that time, he and his classmate Reed, now a knight of the 'Legendary Blade', were obsessed with preying on game, and because of this, they were often complained by his brother and instructor Julius, that you are more suitable as a hunter than a knight.

As a chef, he should have felt extremely happy and honored to be able to witness and learn the Empire's supreme skills on an empty stomach......

That's right...... The knife technique of slaughtering and dissecting is impeccable.

That's right...... The seasoning of the peeling and baking is also impeccable.

That's right...... An intoxicating, rich fragrance wafts through the air......

However, at this moment, Lutega was extremely glad that he had not eaten anything, otherwise, he might have squatted on the ground and vomited and had stomach cramps.

Rather than the joy of seeing the supreme cooking, Lutga could only feel irrepressible anger.

And the reason is that it was tied to an iron frame, and a few minutes ago, it was still alive cooking materials.

Just now, in front of his eyes, an orc child about five or six years old was killed, dismembered, stripped and barbecued...... The limbs that are no different from the human category are made into one dish after another. The young aristocracy could not have imagined what kind of abnormal nerves could have caused these chefs to behave so frantically without changing their faces.

He had always heard of the oppression of the orcs in the imperial capital, but 'like livestock' had always been just an 'excessive adjective', and he never thought that the nobles of the imperial capital would treat orcs as ingredients on the table.

What chilled him the most was that all the guests present did not show the slightest discomfort and disgust at the tragic scene staged on the stage, and even cheers and praises were heard endlessly in the hall.

- There is no cure, these bastards ......!

Beneath the mask, the young man was clenching his teeth with all his strength, and even his gums were dripping with blood, filling his mouth with the smell of rust.

Lutga knew that those present were all powerful members of the royal faction. And what they did was ridiculous enough not to violate the laws of the Empire. At this moment, he had done his best just to suppress his anger and prevent himself from using the power of the elves to sweep everyone present away on the spot.

Lutga also understands that if he acts rashly now, his daughter's plan will be ruined, and now he can't reveal his identity, and he can't be the enemy of the nobles of the royal power back then. He is also burdened with the heavy responsibility of negotiation, and there is a woman who loves him deeply waiting for his rescue, and he can't give up his efforts because of impulse......

"Ladies and gentlemen, the chefs of the Imperial Capital Chefs Association today, have shown us their mastery as always! Don't worry, as there are more guests than ever before, the 'Treasure Meat Feast' continues the tradition of making all guests happy, and the chefs will challenge the dishes to be more delicious and fresh, and the show has just begun!

- What!? As always...... Just getting started...... Treasure Meat Feast!?

Every word in the mouth of the master of ceremonies was like a pinprick that stimulated the nerves of Count Rutega, who was on the verge of exploding. By the time he came to his senses, the magic spear forged by the magic of the Holy Spirit's blessing was already in his hand.

Fortunately, now he was standing at the end of the crowd, everyone was watching the disgusting performance on stage, and no one had the qualities of a warrior and noticed the murderous aura emanating from Lutga's body.

- No! Patience...... Endure...... Endure!!

Until this point, the Young Lord will try to send his fingers away from the hilt of the spear, dissipating the elven magic and returning it to his body.

However, the efforts were in vain after all, because the next scene ...... It should be said that the next 'material' that was pushed to the stage made Lutga completely out of control.

It was impossible to admit that it was Cam, the maid that his daughter Sophia had been carrying with her, only seven years old, a gentle and well-read orc girl, who had for some reason appeared on the iron frame that had been pushed to the stage.

In an instant, the fingers that had gradually loosened were once again clenched the 'magic spear' in the palm of their hands, and the silver-black magic power of the 'space-time attribute' filled the body of the spear, transforming it into a hideous giant snake.

"Put her down for me!!"

Even no matter how gentle a young man is, at the moment when he is so patient that his blood vessels almost explode, he can't control the strength of his attack no matter what. Original?? The full force of the legendary blade was thrown from the very end of the hall, turning into a cannonball that pierced the entire arena in one go.

The glow of magic illuminated the dimly lit halls, and the human body was easily torn apart in its path, leaving a ventilated hole in the building.

"What, who's ......!!"

Faced with the questioning of the fat-headed nobleman who collapsed to the ground and was trembling, Lutga took off his mask, pinched it to pieces, and introduced himself in an unprecedented fierce voice.

"Lutga?? Cruznier...... You hate it...... Rebels on the border!" The 'magic spear' returned to his hands, and the young lord scanned the audience with an angry gaze before saying, "At the same time, eight years ago...... The executor of the 'bloody suppression' in the imperial capital!"

"You, what do you want to do!?want, do you want money? Also, or do you want the imperial capital to be expensive, the status of a nobleman? I, I'll give you everything, okay, easy to discuss-!"

"You guessed wrong, Lord Duke, I just ...... I just want to repeat history!"
