……

The suit-clad demon-man spoke in the lingua franca of the Abyss.

This allowed Matthew, who was well-versed in the effects of language, to understand what was being said.

He and Little Parton looked at each other, both interested in going.

After all, they are here to investigate the source of the Brimstone Mine, and the mining vehicle in front of them is likely to point to the Sulfur Mine's factory, which is the Sturluk Industries mentioned by the Devilman.

At Matthew's motion, little Parton pretended to be innocent and asked:

"So what do we do?"

Devilman boldly pushed the car door open and tidied up his tie:

"My name is Simmons and I'm a senior manager at Sturuk Industries.

I think you two have a lot of potential, just join our company's minerals team.

Don't hesitate, it's a rare opportunity, just get in the car. ”

At that moment, he pointed to the dump at the back of the mining truck and motioned for the two to sit down.

The two craned their necks and found that in addition to a batch of sulfur mines, there were several mercenary-like devilmen sitting in the dump.

The mercenaries carried a handful of glowing crossbows in their hands, and their expressions looked fierce.

These people are very similar in appearance and physique to Simmons, with white eyes and extremely strong upper body muscles.

As far as Matthew knew, these white eyes were called "Pupils of Chaos" and were a symbol of demonic blood.

With his superficial knowledge of the Abyss, he could only tell that they should be a hybrid of Berserk and Terran.

"Let's go! Get in the car! ”

The mercenary boss urged impatiently.

Matthew felt that something was wrong.

Little Patton's mind is also very clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately showed a sincere smile to Simmons:

"And how much will we get paid if we join Sturuk Industries?"

Simmons crossed his waist impatiently:

"Remuneration??

Start with a weekly salary of at least 100 gold!

You minotaur may seem a little clever, but you don't have much—

The salary is only the smallest gain from joining Sturluk Industries.

If you ask anyone on the street, you know that joining us means soaring!

As long as you work hard, it won't be long before you become a supervisor like me, with your own driver, maid, lover, gardener, etc., etc.

But the premise of all this is.

You have to work hard enough!

Before you ask Sturluk what he can give you, you'd better weigh what you can bring to Sturluk!

The current situation in Escany can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Isn't it possible that the land has undergone rapid changes in the last decade due to Sturluk Industries?

The Blue tribe is transitioning in the direction of the Blue Empire, and as a member of the tribe, if you can't keep up with the pace of the times, you can only become the tears of the times.

Forget it, with the intelligence of the Minotaur, I really shouldn't have talked to you so much.

Now, get in the car, I promise you're making a fortune! ”

Simmons was talking endlessly, and the listeners were stunned.

Matthew and the others haven't said anything yet.

An unkempt minotaur next to him suddenly pounced:

"They won't want to let me go, okay?!"

"I am willing to dedicate my life to Sturluk Industries!"

Simmons immediately kicked the minotaur in the stomach.

The latter jerked backwards and fell to the ground.

The cloak used to cover the body was lifted in an embarrassed manner, revealing rows of needle holes on the Minotaur's thighs.

He looked so thin and thin that Simmons' kick kept him from getting up for half a day!

Simmons scolded in disgust:

"Stay away from me, trash!"

Saying that, he said to Matthew and the others:

"Look, this is your fellow man, who indulges in the waste of brimstone all day long, and you can't be like him when you enter Sturuk's industry."

"Get in the car!"

Simmons' patience seems to have reached its limit.

Matthew glanced at the data bar.

……

"Warning: You saw through Simmons' bluff.

You realize that Simmons' treatment of Sturuk is a lie!

+10 for your "Anti-Fraud Element" (Fraud Field)"

……

He was looking for an opportunity to turn down Simmons' invitation.

Little Parton had already spoken, and he still spoke in the same simple tone:

"We can't go to Sturuk Industries right now."

Simmons has a bad eye:

"Why?"

Little Parton smiled and said:

"How can such a good thing be done by just the two of us brothers?

Please leave us an address and a token.

I'm going to tell our younger siblings outside of town, along with other friends, to join Sturluk Industries.

Rest assured, the people I've brought are just as healthy minotaurs as we are, not this sulfur-addicted old waste! ”

Simmons' eyes lit up when he heard this:

"Good, good.

You follow this road to the heart of Bigfoot -

Do you see the big chimney from afar?

Go in that direction.

Sturuk Industries is everywhere.

This glove is my token, and you can find me if you find any of Sturuk's regular employees.

Now get out of town!

We've recruited enough people too late, so maybe there won't be a place for you. ”

Simmons threw a stinky glove in little Parton's face, then laughed and got into the car and left.

The mining cart rumbled away in black exhaust.

"You're smart and not fooled."

When the mining cart was gone, the minotaur tramp who was moaning on the ground suddenly jumped up and down with a carp.

He was athletic and athletic, and he didn't look weak at all.

The minotaur wore a huge hood, its face hidden in the shadows, and its voice was very strong:

"If you go with them, you will be greeted with purgatory.

At first, they will give you preferential treatment, give you good food and drink, and give you a place to live.

And the price of all this is just to do some hard work.

This will make you feel like a perfect choice to come to Sturuk Industries.

It won't be available for long.

They will intensify their efforts to squeeze you.

All the delicate work that the constructs can't do will be thrown to you.

In order to complete the tasks that you simply cannot do, you will have to start working overtime and stay up late, and your body will become weak.

At this time, you may be reluctant to retreat.

But Sturluk Industries is not going to let go of any of the available talents.

They will secretly infect you with sulfur while you are working.

Do you know what sulfur disease is?

Sulfur was originally a necessity for creatures in the abyss, but after being highly purified by Sturluk Industries, the sulfur essence became a terrifying potion that addicted demons and easily made them want to die.

Once you've tasted this feeling, it's hard to quit.

And in order to get enough sulfur extract.

You have to work day and night for Sturluk Industries.

But under the influence of brimstone, your brain becomes more and more idiotic, your flesh becomes weaker and weaker, and you simply cannot cope with the increasing number of tasks!

In this vicious circle day after day.

You will fall one day.

However, this is not your terminal at Stuluk Industries.

They have specialized doctors to deal with the situation.

Those who are in better physical condition wake up and continue to press;

almost sent into the laboratory to become a test subject;

Only those who have completely lost their value will be thrown out into the streets and become one homeless person after another.

Bigfoot City is full of such people, and the three races that were originally rooted here, the Minotaur, Bigfoot, and Deerhead Demon, have suffered greatly.

The only one who profited was the Devilman, who took the lead in taking up the refuge in Sturluk Industries.

Sturuk Industries has destroyed the lives of countless of our compatriots, and the most hateful thing is that he has declared that we have fallen of our own will!

You should have seen a lot of minotaurs dressed like me along the way, right?

They all worked for Sturluk Industries.

Obviously he was framed and contracted sulfur disease.

However, it was preached by Sturluk as a typical example of the Minotaur clan who did not want to make progress and was willing to degenerate.

Do you say it's pathetic? ”

Listen to this introduction.

Matthew and Little Parton both had surprised looks on their faces.

Little Parton looked at each other:

"You are?"

The other party replied:

"My name is Conley, I'm a ranger, I know minotaur rangers aren't common, but these days the demons have been castrated into waste working for Sturuk Industries, and the Minotaur Ranger or something should be normal."

"Are you two minotaurs from out of town?"

"Remember not to wander the streets during the day, you meet Simmons, he is in a high position in Sturluk Industries, and he is a bit of a face, and if you change to other small bosses, I am afraid that you will be taken away directly! After all, there aren't many health demons left in the city. ”

Seeing that the other party is also using the lingua franca of the abyss.

Matthew boldly spoke:

"How do you know we're lying to him?"

Conley said lightly:

"I'm already familiar with the Minotaur tribe near Bigfoot City, and even the farther suburbs can't escape my ears and eyes. I haven't heard of a new minotaur colony moving around, so you're lying.

Okay kids, I don't have time to answer your questions all the time, I still have a lot of things to do.

Remember, Bigfoot is no longer what it used to be, and the demons have fallen—

Damn, why do we have room to fall when we are demons?

In short, keep an eye on it, don't go out during the day, and be careful of Sturluk Industries! ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture to leave.

Little Parton grabbed him:

"Mr. Conley, we have come from far away to join our relatives with the McCowwin brothers, he is the elder brother and I am the younger brother.

But when we entered the city today, we realized that this place had changed a lot, and we couldn't find our uncle, so we had to live on the streets.

Can you tell us about a place to stay?

As long as you can shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Conley gave them a disgusted look.

It was as if he was in the midst of a mental struggle.

After a few seconds.

In the distance, another mining truck drove up.

Conley hurriedly waved at the two:

"Come with me!"

As he spoke, he rushed to the alley across the road, and at the corner of the alley, he skillfully lifted the cement cover, revealing a dark passageway.

The entrance to the passage is large, but the space inside is cramped.

The three of them got in one after another.

Conley was responsible for breaking and hiding the cement cover, and then walked in front of the two.

"I'll take you to the camp of the Revivalists, but you must swear not to reveal the location of the camp, or I won't spare you."

"You don't have to rejoice too early, I don't have much say in the camp, and whether or not I can stay depends on the meaning of the 'prophet'."

As he spoke, he skillfully pouted his ass and walked towards the depths of the sewer.

"What is a revivalist?"

"What the hell is going on in Bigfoot?"

"Why did the minotaur here become like this? That's too different from what we've heard before, right? ”

Along the way, little Patton skillfully spoke.

This guy always thinks of going with Matthew, and at first Matthew interjected a word or two, and then he simply let little Parton ask alone.

He was concentrating on analyzing the information provided by Conley, the minotaur.

Conley's voice echoed slightly in the sewers:

"Just hear the name, kid, we're a bunch of frustrated people, a bunch of old stuff trying to revive demonic blood.

You may not know what Bigfoot was like decades ago.

But I remember it vividly.

At that time, the situation may have been very bad, our civilization was very backward, but when facing outsiders, everyone has a bloody nature, and dare to hold a weapon to give them a head-on blow!

At that time, Bigfoot was a chaotic city-state divided by the three demon races of Bigfoot, Minotaur, and Deerhead.

There are fights every day in the city.

Every day, demons are disemboweled, their intestines ripped out, and their bodies rot by the stinking gutters.

Oh.

That's nostalgic.

Later one day.

An airship from Sturuk Industries is moored to the walls of Bigfoot.

At first, the demons in the Three Cities fought several battles with Sturluk's mercenaries.

Despite the disastrous results, they were able to stop their invasion.

Later, however, Sturluk changed his strategy of infiltration.

They began to try the upper echelons, bribing, controlling, and plotting against the top of the three races.

Little by little, things began to change.

Finally six years ago.

Most of the demons in Bigfoot have been tricked into drinking the "tame potion" provided by Sturluk Industries-

That potion is said to remove the violent element of demonic blood.

It can free the demon clan from endless strife and battle.

This is true.

I've seen firsthand the terrible effects of that potion.

Demons who take potions become rational and peaceful, and are particularly reasonable.

But are fucking reasonable demons still demons?

A friend of mine, he was an unbeliever, and before taking the potion, he was an executioner who didn't stab people for a day.

As a result, the second after the potion was in his stomach, he seemed to have become a holy warrior who had comprehended the oath of the sages!

Can you believe it.

He actually started crying and confessing to me for his previous sin of killing!

But that wasn't the most terrifying effect of the potion.

The demons have lost not only ambition and the desire to kill, but also blood and backbone!

The demons who took the potion became cowardly.

Obviously, we are the most fearsome and irascible race in the world.

But they began to consider explicitly prohibiting fights in the city.

The reason is to affect civilization.

Fuck civilization!

The civilization of demons is the civilization of fighting.

It was because I couldn't accept this chemical castration that I escaped into the sewers and set up the Revivalist camp with the others.

During this time, I was also forced to learn a lot of the skills of the Ranger -

That's how the world is.

Forcing a two-meter-tall minotaur to crawl through the city's sewers every day.

For this reason, I even learned how to shrink bones with a Babasha devotee!

Far away, ahem.

The development behind Bigfoot can be guessed with an asshole.

The demon who lost his wild nature became a slave to Sturuk's industry.

The city gradually became the domain of the devils.

The three great races of the past have to be on the lookout for each day.

On the contrary, we stinky rats living in the sewers should have a better time.

Sturluk's men tried to get into the sewers.

But with the protection of the "sewer gods" and the complex terrain here, after paying a few painful prices, they have never interfered in the underground world again. ”

Conley is a typical cold-faced and hot-hearted guy.

On the surface, he dislikes the "McCowwin brothers" who have just arrived and don't know anything.

In fact, he has been eager to help.

Not only take the risk of taking them to their own camp.

also babbled a lot about the background and common sense of Bigfoot City.

If this knowledge is converted into Margaret's infusion standard, it will not be possible to get it without 10,000 gold coins.

Think so.

Matthew felt like he was making blood.

And on the way along the way.

He also remembered why the word Sturuk was so familiar—

It was the hometown of the orc Clegg.

At present, it should be occupied by a wandering space necromantic force of the Antu Empire.

It seems that Sturluk Industries is inseparable from them.

The three of them made their way through the sewers in the dark for thirty minutes.

After jumping over a pool of stinking water.

The terrain ahead suddenly opened up.

An extremely open underground space appeared in front of them.

There are also several guards on the high ground on both sides, alertly checking on the arrival.

"Black, it's me, Conley."

The Minotaur Ranger's deep voice rang out.

The leader of the guard is a dark-skinned demon with huge antlers.

He looked at Matthew and the others with an unkind face:

"You're back to camp with your face, Conley, you've always been unruly, even if it's a rule you've set yourself."

Conley shrugged:

"Shall I take them to the Prophet, is the Prophet in the Tower?"

The Antlers Demon said displeased:

"According to information from my informants, Sturluk Industries is planning to carry out a fourth siege of our camp, and we must not be arrogant at this juncture."

Conley scratched his head:

"Well, I know I probably shouldn't, but these two kids are healthy, rare — you should know what this level of health means in Bigfoot, and I can't just watch Simmons ruin them."

The Deer-Headed Demon insisted on his opinion:

"I understand you, being healthy is a luxury these days.

But that's why I suspect Simmons put the bait.

If you don't mind, I'd like to use the True Knowledge Gem on them, so that at least the possibility of Transfiguration can be ruled out. ”

Matthew secretly screamed when he heard this.

He and little Paton glanced at each other, ready to run.

The next second.

Without waiting for Conley to agree, the deer-headed demon took a bell-and-whistle gem from his bosom and began chanting a spell aloud.

At that moment, little Parton instinctively retreated, but was stopped by Matthew.

"Don't be afraid."

Matthew suddenly whispered confidently.

Little Paton's body suddenly relaxed.

After a few seconds.

A white magical glow shone on the two of them, and their skin became incomparably brighter.

The deer-headed demon watched the performance of the two of them deadly.

Seeing that the two were calm.

He said slowly:

"Alright, you can get through here."

"Your body will glow for the next few moments, it doesn't matter, it's just a side effect of the True Gem."

Conley snorted coldly:

"I said it, there is no problem with these two children, I think you are clearly making things difficult for me."

The deer-headed demon's face was calm:

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

"You'd better be!"

Conley warned.

Then he led the two into the camp.

The architecture of the camp is similar to what Matthew saw on the surface, and it may be a little behind.

What is even more surprising is that there are many electric lights here.

And the electricity bill is always on as if it doesn't need money.

It's a huge underground space.

Walking in it is as bright as daytime.

Along.

Little Parton took a moment to ask:

"How is it that his True Gem has not seen through our disguise?"

"Is your potion so powerful?"

Matthew laughed but didn't say a word.

data bar.

……

"Hint: You've seen through the bluff of Elder Hei, the leader of the Deer Head Demon Chief!

The Captain of the Deer Head Demon took out a Gem of True Wisdom (trick disguise).

Captain Deerhead uses "Illumination" on you and Parton Jr.

Not only did you see through the other party's deception, but you also managed to hide it.

+10 for your anti-fraud element;

+10 for your bluffing;

Detect that you have accumulated enough anti-fraud elements, do you use them to enter the fraud realm?"

……

Matthew is in no hurry to enter the field for the time being.

"The demons are really not simple residents, I was deceived twice when I first arrived, but fortunately, I have a strong sense of anti-fraud. But if this happens a few more times, isn't the relevant elements directly brushed up? ”

"This camp is too poor, I can't even take out a gem of true knowledge, the captain who guards the door can only bluff, it's quite sad to think about it, the demons of Bigfoot City have indeed declined, no wonder they want to revive."

He thought to himself.

The Revivalist camp is indeed more vibrant than the city above.

Matthew and the two came all the way.

There have been at least four unprovoked brawls.

The demons here are more warlike than the ones on the surface, but they are more or less disabled.

It is estimated that it is inseparable from Sturuk Industries.

Conley is very popular in the camp.

Everywhere he passed, people greeted him.

Correspondingly.

There are also many people who ask about the origin of Matthew and the two.

For the sake of explanation, Conley said that the "McCowwin brothers" were his nephews.

The more people asked, the more he answered.

Gradually.

He really seemed to regard the two as nephews.

The attitude towards the two is also becoming more and more affectionate.

Ultimately.

Conley led the two to a tall, dark-looking tower.

The tower's doors are closed.

There were several figures waiting on the steps leading to the tower.

The most striking of these is a bald woman.

She's a human being.

There are also several Bigfoot monsters next to it, as well as a minotaur.

Conley admonished the two:

"You just wait on the steps, I'll go in and say hello to the Prophet, don't be nervous, no one will hurt you here."

"By the way, stay away from that woman, she is a believer in the evil queen Babasha, a warrior monk, although I learned the bone shrinking technique from her, but I always feel that she has a hidden hand, and I can't shrink as perfectly as her......"

However, as she spoke, the female warrior monk walked over quickly:

"Idiot Conley! You can't shrink as perfect as I am, because you're one more dick than me! ”

"Who are these two, your illegitimate son? They looked like they were healthy. ”

As she spoke, the woman licked her plump and sexy lips.

Conley Positive Color Road:

"They're my nephews, Rosie, you can't do anything to them."

"If you've been in need lately, just come to me."

The warrior monk named Rosie paid no attention to Conley's flirtation.

She looked at Matthew with interest, a look of remembrance in her eyes:

"I seem to have seen you somewhere, and this feeling is familiar."

Matthew's heart began to beat faster.

He knew that the other party had not seen him, and the reason why he felt this way was because of the evil queen Babasha's special attention to himself!

Just when he was trying to get rid of the entanglement with the followers of the evil queen.

The door to the tower suddenly opened.

An old voice came from through the door:

"Conley, did you bring those two children?"

"Let them in."

Matthew was suddenly pardoned.

The two quickly bypassed the warrior monk and entered the tower.

The door slowly closes.

In front of them was an old man with a cane.

The latter kindly said to Matthew:

"What's wrong kid, I sense you're a little upset."

Matthew let out a long breath:

"It's okay, it's just the lady outside, she seems to be a little aggressive."

The old man said gently:

"Rosie is like this, she is a very direct girl, if she falls in love with you, she will snatch you away overnight."

"But don't worry, she is a believer in the loyal evil queen Babasha, how bad can a person who believes in Babasha?"

Matthew didn't think it was right to hear it:

"Followers of the Evil Queen...... Isn't it going to be bad? ”

The old man smiled heartily:

"Of course."

"Look at me, I'm also a believer in the Evil Queen, do you think I'm like a bad person?"

"Hahaha......"
