Chapter VIII: Just Enforcement
The few people who jumped out of the window hurriedly urged the fighting qi to shake the insects on their bodies down, and in just a few seconds, the bodies of the five people were burned off by acid, and they simply had a fighting qi in their bodies, and their mobility was only slightly reduced.
But the pain, like being splashed with sulfuric acid, was hot, which made the five people scream.
The screams outside the house woke up the sleeping children inside, and they couldn't help but look at a little boy who, if Caleb had been there, knew that the little boy was the one who had stolen the ring.
"Brother Leo.... What's going on out there..."
Leo was the name of the little boy, and a little girl who looked no more than 6 years old asked Leo with a worried face, and Leo, who had the privilege of going out in the group, was the clear leader.
Leo leaned on the wall and listened carefully, and when he was sure of the situation, he couldn't help but smile, someone had come to their rescue, and he whispered to the others:
"Sister Sarah, don't worry, the screams are those nasty guys, someone should have come to save us."
"Really? Brother Leo, can we get out? β
When Sarah heard that someone was coming to save them, her eyes couldn't help but show a strong sense of hope, she had only been arrested for a few days, and her yearning for the outside was higher than others.
"Well, we can definitely get out, don't move now, otherwise if the people outside lose, we will be beaten."
While the children were waiting anxiously, the five people outside the house looked at the people in front of them with frightened expressions.
After the five people shook off the insects with their fighting spirit, they saw Caleb standing on the wall, a steady stream of insects crawling out of his body, not only on the ground, but also in the sky covered with insects, the sound of crawling, the sound of wings vibrating, made the five people feel creepy.
Caleb now wears an eyeless mask on his face, and his body is tightly wrapped up and down, and even his height is much higher, so that no one can grab any handles.
Seeing that the insects were approaching them, they all picked up the weapons they had brought out in a hurry, and a man who looked like a leader asked Caleb with a grim look:
"Who is it, who are you, why did you attack us, don't you know who is behind us, let me tell you, we are Lord Ma Lan's people, and now we are released and we still have a chance to live."
"I haven't heard of it, today is your time of death, no matter who comes"
An emotionless hoarse voice came from behind the mask, and Caleb looked at the results of the identification.
"Name: ? Lv6: Professional Warrior......
Name:? Lv3: Professional Warrior.....
Name:? Lv4: Professional Warrior.....
Name:? Lv4: Professional Warrior.....
Name:? Lv3: Pro Warrior ....."
One level 6, two level 4, two level 3, the only one who is a little threatening is the level 6 leader with a dagger, and everything else is nothing.
Hearing Caleb's words, several people knew that this matter was not going to be good today, and an ugly man with a long sword shouted angrily:
"How daring! We're five of us, do you think you've got the win? β
After saying that, he and a few other people began to rush up, only the leader of level 6 had not moved.
"Bug Tide"
Behind the muted sound is a terrifying swarm of bugs, since Caleb discovered this den, he has been making bugs, and the current insect reserves are long since they were not in the past.
Buzz β
"Fighting spirit!"
"Cross Sword!"
The four people who were entangled by the insect swarm brandished their long swords, and the fighting qi in their bodies filled the outside of their bodies, allowing them to temporarily avoid the consequences of being bitten, and the scattered fighting qi sword qi emptied a large area of acid phagophers at once, but this was only a drop in the bucket, and more acid phagourges poured over.
Caleb was temporarily attracted by the battle of the four people, and the level 6 thief felt that it was a good opportunity to see this scene, with his speed, this distance could be met in less than a second, and he felt that Caleb would definitely not be able to react.
So he made a move, and the cat quietly hid in the dark, which was the thief's special method of using fighting energy, using it to cover his heartbeat and breathing, so that he could hide in the dark.
"It's now!"
Seeing that Caleb hadn't noticed him yet, the level 6 thief couldn't help but show a cruel smile, he made a move, and rushed to Caleb at an extremely fast speed in an instant, he seemed to see Caleb's head flying into the sky under his dagger, and the unbelievable expression on his face must be great.
"Die, hahahaha...."
"Red Fireflies: Wall of Fire"
Just when the thief was dreaming, Caleb's bland words made the thief react, and unconsciously a group of glowing fluorescent insects floating between Caleb and the thief, the thief did not understand what was going on, and a wall of fire composed of fireballs with a diameter of 10 centimeters enveloped the thief.
"Ahh
A flame fell in front of Caleb, writhing, and the scorching flame stuck directly to his body and could not be extinguished.
"Boss!"
The four people who were still fighting against the insect swarm suddenly lost their fighting spirit when they saw that their strongest boss had become like this.
"Wait, we can give money...."
Before he finished speaking, a large number of green points of light appeared in the sky, and the glowworms surrounded the four people like stars in the sky, and the sudden change made the four people speechless, and they were already desperate.
"Go to Hell and repent of your sins, Red Firefly, Whirlwind!"
Boom β
Fireballs with a diameter of 10 centimeters appeared around the five people, and the fireball glowworms turned into fireballs were extremely fast, rotating around the five people, and soon a flame tornado was born.
"Ahh
The five men struggled in the flames for a moment, and were completely burned to ashes.
The flames went out, revealing the charred earth, and the people had completely turned to dust and vanished, and a strange smell filled the air.
"Remember to be a good person in the next life."
Walking into the house, a sour smell mixed with the smell of feces came from the surface, Caleb didn't care, he had smelled too much, and even more smelly.
Find the room where the children are imprisoned, they have been woken up by the previous movement, and are now huddled in a ball and waiting uneasily.
The door was opened, and Caleb appeared before them.
"Can you go, we're getting out of here."
Just one sentence brought tears to these children's eyes, and they were free.
Fifteen children were rescued by Caleb, all with wounds, some of whom were unable to walk and were being held by other children.
Although it was difficult to walk, they were all smiling as they were free, and following Caleb, a green band of light guided their way, and a group of people walked through the silent city.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Regg."
This is Caleb's self-proclaimed name for these children, and Leo looks at the person in front of him gratefully.
"Do you have a place to go?"
Caleb asked the little ones in front of him.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, Leo smiled wryly.
"We are all orphans, some of whom were sold by our parents, and even if we go back, we will be sold again."
After all, it's still a group of children, even if Leo's heart is very mature, but now they don't know where to go, they don't have the technology to survive, they can't make money without identification, and once they get out of the city, they can't get in again.
"Then do you want to go to the Adventurer's Guild with me, and become a training employee of the Adventurer's Guild's subordinate industry, at least you can master a skill, and the Guild will also be responsible for healing the injuries on your body.
With me, an adventurer, as a guarantee, you can easily enter, as long as you work for the adventurer's guild for 10 years when you are an adult at the age of 15, you can regain your freedom, and it is up to you to stay or leave when the time comes. β
This is a protection mechanism for orphans in the Adventurer's Guild, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some imprisoned orphans when doing tasks, as long as the adventurers doing the quest are guaranteed, the Adventurer's Guild will take in these children.
The orphans in this world are equivalent to a money bag that can move, and those slave owners will buy these orphans at a high price, carefully cultivate them from an early age, and sell them to various places when they grow up to earn a lot of gold coins, because they are cultivated from a young age, and slaves who have learned a lot of professional skills are very popular.
This situation led the Adventurers' Guild to finally come up with this mechanism, that is, they did not want these orphans to continue to be captured by others after being rescued, and they would send the children to the guild's subordinate industries as apprentices, so as to ensure that they would not starve to death after they came out.
Hearing Caleb's introduction, Leo's gang's eyes lit up, they were able to learn techniques, and once they joined the guild, the problem of identification was solved.
"Really! Thank you, Mr. Gray! We want to join the Adventurers' Guild! β
A group of people set the goal and rushed to the adventurer's guild under the leadership of Caleb.
When they reached the door, Caleb turned back to them and said:
"I'll go in first, and you'll wait here."
And when they nodded, Caleb went in.
The Adventurer's Guild is 24-hour and never closes, so now it's the night shift people on guard.
Rena is the reception specialist for the night shift, she is Luna's older sister, and she is still taking Luna's job during the day.
The adventurer's guild at night is quiet, rarely people come, and Rena passes the time alone with a book in her hand and watching under the magic lamp.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the adventurer's door being pushed open, and when she looked up, it was a strange man with a mask and a cloak, the cloak was pulled low, and the mask was a miserable white mask with only eyes exposed, which startled Rena.
"Please... Is there anything I can ask you about? If you're going to take a task, the taskbar is over there. β
Rena's hand was on a button under the counter, and whenever the weirdo in front of her did something strange, she would press the alarm button.
Caleb saw the man who was frightened by him and reached out and took off the mask while taking out the adventurer card.
"Hello, I'm an adventurer, I rescued a group of children while doing a mission, there are 15 people, I have serious injuries, I want to apply for the adventurer's guild child protection."
Rena was shocked to hear this, and such a situation appeared in her own city, and hurriedly asked:
"What about the kids? Where, show me. β
"At the door, I asked them to wait at the door, and I don't want to reveal my identity, so can I go through the formalities first."
Caleb could see Rena's eagerness, but he didn't want to reveal his identity, his attack method was too unique, and it was easy to be targeted by people with intentions, and now he was not qualified to wave.
"No problem, 15 people, come and sign this form, and then hand it over to me."
Rena was not surprised to hear Caleb's request, some adventurers really didn't like to reveal too many identities, and after filling out the form, Caleb put on his mask again and went out with Rena.
As soon as he went out, Leo and his gang surrounded him.
"Mr. Regg, can we join the guild?"
Caleb nodded, giving up his place, introducing Rena behind him to the children.
"The formalities are complete, now you can follow this Rena in."
Rena looked at this group of poor children, the injuries on their bodies were very serious, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and she spoke a lot softer.
"Everyone is welcome to join the guild's family, come in with me, and I'll contact the guild's doctor right away."
Caleb patted Leo on the shoulder and said to him:
"Work hard in the future, you're doing well."
"Mr. Regg...."
Leo's eyes were a little red.
Caleb didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and turned away, leaving only an emaciated back.
But in the hearts of children, this back is incomparably tall.
Caleb, who returned to the Morning Glow, didn't continue to care about those children, it was already Caleb's limit to be able to help, and it was up to them to do the rest.
Lying on the bed, Caleb looked at the previous system messages.
"Kill 5 Thieves and Warriors, +2000 XP"
"Your level is increased by 1 level"
"Your Demon Hotaru and Blackie are upgraded by 1 level"
"Complete the Achievement Mission: Righteous Execution; Destroy an evil den and gain +1000 XP bonus"
"Skill proficiency has been reached, and the skill "Insect Manipulation" is automatically obtained, please continue to work hard."
In this battle with the five people, he and Xiao Hei Xiaohou successfully improved by 1 level, especially Xiao Hotaru, who successfully caught up with the level of the team, and his strength increased greatly.
Also gaining a skill, Caleb checked the contents.

This enhanced pleasure is really addictive, and you can always see how much stronger you have become, and it is really addictive.
Caleb admired his stats panel and fell asleep contentedly.
