Chapter 129: Impulsiveness and Wisdom

John stormed the deck in one go, and engaged in a fiery battle with the sailors who swarmed around......

It can be seen that the sailors on the deck, no matter how much they swarmed up and brandished their swords, were no match for the little maid's bare hands, and they were put to the ground one after another, and all of them lost consciousness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Break through head-on with great pride...... This is also enough to prove that John Jr. has not considered the so-called strategy or tactics at all. And his upright behavior is due to his character, his age, and finally...... There is a teacher, there must be a disciple.

And the incredible thing is that Little John's fists and feet are like the wind, but he has not caused a single life until now, and all the opponents have only been knocked unconscious, and there is no fear of life. This is due to Alice's teachings. To put it simply, although she taught John a lot of techniques for knocking people unconscious, she never taught him how to kill.

Of course, in actual combat, it is far more difficult to show mercy to an opponent with murderous intent than to let go of his hands and feet and beat the opponent to death.

And the reason why John can do this is not only the awareness of keeping his hands, but also the difference in strength between the two sides, and at the same time proving his own excellent martial arts talent.

All in all, the traffickers and sailors on this foreign merchant ship can be regarded as lucky. If it had been suppressed not by John, but by another young maid, Cam...... Then, I'm afraid these people would have been wiped out long ago.

You must know that the education policy of the little sister Sophia is not as soft as her sister Alice, after all, if you want Cam, who is an orc, to survive in this cruel social background, it is obviously not feasible to advocate humanitarianism meaninglessly.

On the other hand, this kind of unconscious compassion is also where Alice is too naïve, even if she is herself, although she is used to hunting and killing monsters, even if she grows into a human-like monster, she can kill killers.

But there is still instinctive resistance to real 'killing'. Helplessly, who made her past life just a 'teenager' who indulged in peaceful daily life.

Although this may not be a good thing...... Because in a world where the legal system is far from perfect, it is common to kill each other by force outside the city. If it were another martial arts teacher, I am afraid that I would not hesitate to teach children how to kill.

Because, no matter how much you advocate sportsmanship, the enemy will not show mercy to it, and if you are tied to life and death, you will only put yourself in danger. In fact, Alice has already learned this truth from the first day of crossing.

However, she still did not come to her senses for this, and at the same time did not have the courage to teach her disciples to embark on the bloody path.

However, a seven-year-old child killing people on the battlefield is just a theory after all, and if it is other children, even if they have the courage and awareness, they are just powerless.

After all, not all children are as lucky as John. No matter how talented and intelligent he is, it is impossible for him to master the top skills, transform his strong body, and obtain equipment against the sky at the age of seven......

In the blink of an eye, the battle was over. And the process of fighting...... It's not as hot as it seems, it's basically John's one-trick victory, and in three or two strokes, he stunned all the people on the deck who could move.

"Okay, that's amazing...... I've never seen a kid like you! How the hell do you do your kung fu?"

Seeing that all the sailors had been defeated, the dark-skinned little girl Greta sighed as she cautiously leaned out from behind a wine barrel.

"Needless to say, it's just that they're too weak. Of the children I know, there are better than me...... At least three more. ”

John was not complacent and gave a ruthless assessment of the sailors.

But in fact, this is an unfair evaluation, objectively speaking, these sailors are not bad, and they have a little combat experience, at least much better than the bandits who attacked the Lord's Mansion of Celia that night...... It can only be said that the objects that John uses to compare with them are monsters who can fight head-on with ancient dragons.

Leveling the splint, John invaded the cabin with Greta and followed the escalator, heading towards the bottom of the ship. Occasionally, a few sailors who had just been lazy and dozing or drunk would not be able to participate in the deck battle. Of course, either way, John cleaned it up with ease.

Soon after, the two came to a room.

It was a dimly lit barnhouse. The air was filled with a foul smell like fermented fertilizer. In the faint light, naked boys and girls could be seen huddled together and crouched everywhere.

There were probably dozens of children, all about John's age. All of them were tied to their wrists and ankles, and their heads and necks were strung together by a piece of hemp rope.

Of course, John was still young and did not feel excited or shy about the body of a little girl of the opposite sex, because not long ago, before he was under Alice's door, he used to swim shirtless and play with his friends in the small river of Cele.

Now, however, John was stunned by what was happening in front of him...... The scene in front of him caused an unimaginable impact on the young boy who had not seen the world.

The little girl Greta covered her mouth with her little mouth and gasped, and she could see that her calves were trembling, probably because she was afraid of imagining that she might also be treated in front of her.

Because none of the children here are intact, and everywhere is covered with hideous scars and bruises caused by various means.

John is a naughty child, of course, he has a lot of experience of stumbling and getting injured, and recently in the martial arts training with Alice, minor injuries and bruises have only increased. Either way, compared to the children in front of them, they can't be called 'injuries' at all.

Helplessly, because in this world, there is no such concept of compassion for children who become slaves.

Slaves who resisted were tortured mercilessly. Even if they didn't resist, the sailors would probably have come to vent with them for reasons like passing time or relieving stress.

In fact, among the children present, there are already a few who are dying. It's hard to imagine that they will be able to withstand the bumps of the voyage that follows, and it is very likely that they will die halfway through. At that time, their bodies will probably be thrown into the sea immediately...... After repeating this over and over again, how many can be left to be transported to the other side of the river, and eventually become slaves and leave a life?

- They must be saved!

Instinctively, John cried out, "I'm here to save you! I've defeated all the villains outside the door, come with me!"

But...... No one paid any attention to John. These scarred children are like puppets with lost souls, and there is no trace of emotion in their eyes.

"What's the matter!!" Seeing that no one responded, John was anxious, he stretched out his hand and casually dragged a child next to him, but the other party hurriedly shrank into the corner of the wall, putting on an extremely frightened look, "Damn! These guys ...... What the hell are these guys doing!"

"Useless ......," said Greta in a deep voice, whimpering, "they are all children who were raised as slaves by their parents and sold...... It's ...... at all I, I was like them, but she was Dietrichia, and she got me out of the house...... Otherwise, I'm ...... now."

The girl said to herself, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

The Dietlisia, of course, John knew was the thief girl she had met in the slums before, with a delicate and indulgent personality. And the reason why she came here is precisely to rescue the 'family' who was abducted in her mouth.

Gretta's crying made John even more upset.

- Now, I'm ...... What should I do to ...... right!?

John was caught between a squalid hut full of slaves.

He didn't want to leave the suffering children in front of him, but he couldn't think of a way to save them from the sea of suffering.

Not to mention these children, even Gretta, who was crying beside him, he couldn't find a way to comfort her.

Although he has practiced a lot of kung fu, although he can easily defeat the big man outside the door. But at this moment, John finally understood how powerless he was as a child.

-- Listen, the so-called pleasure of helping others is not something that can be solved by brute force. It is necessary to make a complete analysis and judgment of the situation, think carefully from the other party's point of view, and truly understand what the other party needs, not to mention that girls have a delicate heart, which is as sensitive and fragile as glass, and it needs to be handled with care......

Right now, he had to make a painful choice. These children in front of them, who have been eroded by servility, are obviously not able to be saved by themselves. All he can do now is help the girl next to him and fulfill her wishes.

And her wish, like Dietlisia's commission, is to rescue her companions who have been forcibly taken from the sewers.

"Gretta, do you have any of your companions here?"

"No, no, no, everyone is not in this room......"

"Let's go, keep looking, get them out first!"

"But, but these kids?"

“...... Save what can be saved first, this one...... I'll think of other ways to do it later!"

With that, John left the house with Greta and went deeper.

A manly man, he can afford to put it down...... It's an easy slogan to say, but there are very few that can actually do it, not to mention that John is just a seven-year-old child.

I have to say...... John was an excellent disciple in every sense of the word, and he followed the teachings of the 'master', gritted his teeth, and temporarily forced himself to let go of the burden he could not bear and concentrate on what he could do at the moment.

After that, the two found several rooms that were similar to the previous ones. It was also crowded with slick children, but unlike before, not all of them were emotionally lost puppets like before, and there were also children who were sobbing and struggling and showing normal reactions—and of course, miserable corpses that were beaten to death because of this......

"Gretta-it's Gretta...... Woo wow wow wow~~~~!"

"You've finally come to our rescue, whoaa

"Sister Greta...... It's so dark here...... It's scary~~~!Woo wow wow wow wow-"

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally they found the object of rescue in a certain room. Several of the children screamed when they saw Greta.

Without saying a word, John stepped forward and tore the thick hemp rope with his bare hands, so that the children could throw themselves into Gretta's arms, hug them and cry loudly.

At this moment, it also means that John's minimum mission has been accomplished, and then he only needs to take them away from the cargo ship together, find a way to contact Alice or Charlie, who is on standby outside the city, and then try to free the other imprisoned slaves, and it will be done.

But just as he was thinking about it, and stepped out of the cabin door, a strange man suddenly walked out of the cabin next door and stood side by side beside John.

He jerked and hurriedly jumped a step towards the opposite side of the hallway.

"Don't come out! Stay inside and don't move!"

And hurriedly spoke like this, restraining the teenagers and girls who wanted to rush out of the door. Startled, Greta and her friends immediately stopped, trembling back into the depths of the cabin.

John carefully studied the young man who stepped out of the next hatch, medium in height, with short, haphazardly trimmed pale hair, bronzed skin, a few scar-like tattoos on his cold cheeks, and a suit of white silver light armor.

In a word, he is a young man full of the unique temperament of a sailor.

Originally, this alone should have been enough to justify John's preemptive strike. What's more, the youth at this time still has a slave girl who has fallen into a deep sleep hanging on his shoulders.

Of course, the girl was as naked as the other children, except that her skin was much smoother and cleaner than the other slaves. All in all, no matter how you think about him, he won't be a good person.

However, at the moment of encounter, John chose to distance himself first...... Not only did he distance himself, but he also subconsciously put on a defensive posture of Baguazhang and waited for it.

Because his instinct sensed danger, the young man in front of him suddenly appeared...... Very strong! is a master who is incomparable to the opponents he has knocked down before...... That's right, the man stared silently into his gaze, and the tingling sensation of his scalp was almost like confronting Alice on the training ground......
