The first basement of the Ka 9 warehouse.

Dozens of feet down the steep stone steps, on both sides of a long corridor, are rectangular prisons.

Behind the iron barred door made of stainless steel, under the dim light, expressionless faces were like ghosts, silently suspended there.

In the several prisons near the stone steps, there are fair-skinned and good-looking girls.

They were tall, slender and had pale blonde and gray-brown hair, and judging by the tattered style of their clothes, they were supposed to come from the Lucian Empire in the northeast of the continent of Medland.

It was a large country with a vast territory and a large population.

It's big, but it's not strong, that's why the slave hunting team of the Kaban family will get so many beautiful Lucian girls to sell.

At the back of these cells were a group of young men and women of short stature, dark red complexion, and agile movements. They huddled in the prison next to each other, like frightened little beasts, and looked in horror at Joe, who walked by the door of the cell, as well as a group of imperial officers and soldiers, and the guards of the Weitu family.

"Papajans." The ghost-faced shopkeeper's faint voice sounded: "From the Papaya subcontinent in the northwest corner of the Black Continent, cautious, sensitive, hardworking, willing to do, and uncivilized. With a little favor, he will be as faithful as an old dog all his life, and he is the best servant candidate for every combat power. ”

Joe whistled softly and glanced at the thousands of Papayas huddled together in several huge prisons.

Walking through these prisons, the huge prison was crowded with black skin like fine ebony, tall and sturdy Black Continent young and strong.

When Joe walked through a prison cell, a strong man who was more than seven feet three inches tall, not much better than Joe today, with an extremely strong body, like a humanoid lion, covered with pieces of raised tendon flesh, suddenly slammed into the cell door.

'Whew', the man stretched out a hand from the middle of the bar, and grabbed Joe's arm.

There was a loud 'snap', and the tooth that had been following Joe swung his scabbard and stood heavily on the man's elbow. The big man retracted his hand sharply in pain, and he slammed his bare head against the cell door, screaming loudly in words that Joe didn't understand.

"What is he talking about?" Qiao pointed at the big man with a hideous face in confusion.

"He wants meat, he wants wine, he wants women...... Meet his conditions, and he can be your most loyal warrior, killing people and setting fire to you. The ghost-faced shopkeeper sighed: "The Black Continent is close to the local dialect of the Tululu tribe in the Papaya subcontinent, the Black Continent is a magical place, and each tribe has its own local dialect, so their communication is very inconvenient. ”

Joe, Doron, Tooth, and the others present all glanced at the grimace shopkeeper in horror.

"You don't even know this tribal dialect?" Joe asked the grimace shopkeeper in amazement.

"The business of the pharmacy is not good, there was a time when I wanted to do some slave trading to subsidize ......my life," the grimace shopkeeper put his hands in his sleeves and sighed slowly: "I like to do things, I like to take precautions, and I want to trade slaves, so I can't understand what the slaves are saying, right?" ”

"So, it took me three years to learn one hundred and thirty-seven languages, including Lucia, Papaya, Turru, and Ztu......," he sighed heavily, and the grimace shopkeeper lowered his head and muttered weakly: "After I learned these languages, I found out that the slave trade was too heavy to kill, and I couldn't do it, so I ...... It's better to keep your own small pharmacy. ”

Major General Dolong slapped his head and subconsciously muttered, "One hundred and thirty-seven new languages...... Damn the military department, in the military strategy exam that year, I was a highland language, and I almost failed to be promoted to major general......"

The other four major generals present also looked at the grimace shopkeeper with a god-worshipping gaze.

The group of guards of the Vetu family who followed behind Qiao opened their mouths one by one, and they all fell into a state of trance. Most of these guards are illiterate, and it is not easy for them to speak their native language, let alone learn so many foreign languages?

In front of Joe's eyes, there seemed to be the transcripts of his early enlightenment education, primary education, and the intermediate education he received at the judicial academy, and one after another the transcripts fell like heavy snow, almost suffocating him.

He shook his head vigorously and stomped the cell door in front of the big black man.

'Bang', the cell door trembled violently, and the fine steel bar with the thickness of his wrist was stamped by Qiao's foot and made a dent more than a foot deep.

Qiao pointed at the big man and said angrily: "Be honest and obedient, otherwise you will eat a stick!" Bastard thing! ”

The grimace shopkeeper came to the cell door, stared at the big man and said a few words coldly, and the hideous ferocity on the big man's face was put away, and he squatted on the ground honestly.

"These people from the Black Continent are also uncivilized. They are afraid of authority and not respectful of morality, and violence, and only violence can work for them, make them well-behaved and obedient. The grimace shopkeeper said indifferently: "To be honest, the nobles of the Medland kingdoms, very few people keep them. ”

"Their best way out is the pirate group in the stormy ocean. They are large, fierce-looking, much stronger than the average person, and like to get something for nothing. Plundering on the ocean is their favorite life. ”

"They are not good at farming, and they are not good at any delicate work...... It's only robbery, and it doesn't take much skill, does it? ”

Prison by cell, the unfortunate people from different places and tribes were being held. The grimace shopkeeper introduced Qiao to the ethnic characteristics of these slaves who were captured by the Kaban family one by one.

Even, the shopkeeper of Grimace will casually mention the place where these unlucky people live, what specialties are in a certain archipelago or a certain subcontinent, and what specialties can be traded in a certain country on the continent of Metland that can be traded for the greatest profit.

Coming to the end of the corridor, through a hidden mechanism, a secret door opened, and a stone staircase appeared straight down behind the door.

When they walked down the stone steps to the hidden second underground space, the faces of Joe and several major generals were a little strange.

In terms of knowledge reserves, in terms of experience, they were completely crushed by the owner of an inconspicuous small pharmacy in Tulun Port.

Joe doesn't care, he doesn't feel ashamed, anyway, he hasn't done well in exams since he was a child.

But several major generals, the major generals who can be called the heroes of the empire, they felt a great sense of shame.

"This kind of person should go to the Imperial Military Department to be a national situation consulting staff ......" In the end, a major general finally couldn't help but whispered his opinion.

The grimace shopkeeper giggled twice and shook his head gently: "People are ugly, they can't see people, thank you for your kindness." ”

No one spoke anymore, and everyone was stunned by the strange and evil scene in the small space of the third underground floor.

Less than a hundred feet long and wide, the boxy second underground floor, on the four walls made of granite, countless twisted runes were smeared with blood, and countless extremely filthy, extremely evil, extremely depraved, and incomparably distorted words were written.

Under the dim light of whale oil torches, Joe felt his heart churn and almost vomit just by glancing at the blood words on the wall.

Those evil words completely distort the ethical and moral standards that have been formed in today's society and are implemented by everyone. When Joe saw these blood words, even his body shook slightly, and countless distorted and terrifying visions appeared in front of him.

"Damn heretic...... Major General Doron gasped heavily, shaking his head vigorously.

"These damn guys...... Fang quickly looked away, no longer looking at the twisted blood words on the walls, his eyes widened and he stared fiercely at the middle of the square hall.

Sixty-six girls did not have a wisp of it, and they also had all kinds of twisted runes painted with blood, and a large number of evil and filthy words were written. They lay quietly on the cold ground, their slender bodies roughly outlining the shape of a woman's 'son-palace'.

The girls' skin is equally fair, but their hair colors are golden, red, black, and taupe.

The long hair of the sixty-six girls was scattered on the ground, and the long hair was intertwined and outlined with each other, outlining a large number of fine, twisted runes on the ground.

'Praise be to my Lord, to degrade all things in heaven and earth, to corrupt human morality, and to make all things visible and invisible......

One of the guards of the Vetto family whispered the words outlined by the long hair of the girls, and as soon as he had just read a short sentence, a green light rippled on the walls, and a gentle yin wind continued to blow from the corners of the surrounding walls.

The girls' long hair squirmed softly, and a dark green glow rushed up more than three feet from their lower abdomen.

In the void, there are twisted, evil, and depraved murmurs.

'Hmph'...... Several Imperial Army officers shook their bodies, blood gushing out of their nostrils.

'Bang'!

Fang reacted extremely quickly, and flew up and kicked the hapless guard in the face, holding back all his next words.

"Fool, if you want to die, go out and jump into the sea...... Don't bother us, especially since the young master is still here! Bastard thing! Fang swung his scabbard and whipped at the bloodied guard.

The hapless guard cowered on the ground, not daring to move, and the vision around him slowly subsided that he had done something stupid. In addition to being seriously beaten, where does he dare to do anything and say anything at the moment.

"It's a terrible thing." Joe muttered, and then he pointed to the black-robed man lying next to those girls: "Uncle Grimace, this is the target we are looking for?" ”

The grimace shopkeeper nodded, and then pointed to a dark green crystal ball the size of a human head in the black-robed man's hand: "Inside that crystal ball, there is a heretic who wants to sacrifice and resurrect......"

The grimace shopkeeper said lightly: "When I came, this man in black was presiding over this evil magic circle, and I knocked him out with a stick, but what happened later ...... It can only be left to the church. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, the grimace shopkeeper pointed to the girls lying on the ground and sighed: "Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be in danger." Even now, I don't know what their situation is. ”

Neither Joe nor the others spoke.

They don't know what to do about these evil, Shinto beings.

Half an hour later, a large number of footsteps were heard, and Duke Ross and Archbishop Loren walked down the stone steps side by side.

"Evil heretic......" Archbishop Loren gasped as soon as he saw the circle.
