"They're slave owners."

Altai continued to be indignant: "In order to maintain their superiority, they continue to oppress and exploit us, even the frail old and sickly, or the young and ignorant children, they are the objects of their whipping and bullying, we are not like individuals, no, even animals!" ”

The anger in his eyebrows and eyes was burning, Bai Xi and Si Cheng were very uncomfortable when they heard it, they could imagine how terrible and inhumane the slavery system in ancient Europe was, and their eyes showed helplessness and sympathy. But in comparison, Xia Lingge and Shen Yu were much calmer.

Xia Lingge pinched the black steamed bun in his hand, broke it into a few small pieces like Altai, and put it in his mouth to feel the mixture of sand and stones.

Shen Yu held the back of his head with both hands, shook the wooden chair and made a 'squeak' sound: "How did they abuse you?" ”

His tone was a little interesting and playful, and it fell into Altai's ears like a kind of questioning, and Altai got up and picked up the torch hanging on the wall, "You can come and see." ”

The dark corridors led in all directions, and they followed Altai through narrow stone caves until they reached another cave that was faintly lit.

A thick, fishy smell came to their faces, and the yellow-skinned old and weak, sick and disabled huddled together in the cave, their bodies wrapped only with tattered strips of coarse cloth, their hair hanging down dryly to cover half of their faces, and their eyes were terribly hollow.

Altai stuck the torch in his hand into the stone trough, squatted down and whispered softly to the little girl who was curled up in his mother's arms: "How is it, does it still hurt in your body?" ”

The little girl shook her head timidly.

By the light of the fire, Xia Lingge, Si Cheng, Shen Yu and Bai Xi could clearly see that there were hideous whip marks on the little girl's body.

"It was beaten by the Templar guys." Altai explained, "Just because Anna was accidentally pushed into the parade aisle during the prayer festival, she was whipped a dozen times for 'rushing the gods',"

"The little man almost didn't make it."

The girl's mother hugged the girl tighter, and Altai clenched her hands into fists and cast her eyes on the person lying upright not far away.

"And him." Altai said: "How old do you guess he is?" ”

Xia Lingge looked at them, his skin was shriveled and thin, leaving only skin and bones, his eye sockets were deep, and his hair was gray, "No matter how you look at it, you look like you are in your early forties." ”

Altai shook his head with a wry smile: "He is only twenty-one this year, and he was originally a young and strong young man, but because he had repeatedly angered the people of the temple for his old and weak compatriots, he was hung on a pillar for three days without food or drink. When I came back, I couldn't move. ”

Xia Lingge looked at the people who had lost their luster here, raised his eyes and asked him, "Say so much, what do you want to express?" ”

Altai's eyes lit up, he turned back and said, "Don't disturb their rest, go out and talk about it." Returning to Yongdao, he stopped and said to them, "You are all first-class warriors, I won't beat around the bush if there are some words, I hope you can join us to overthrow the fallacy of 'gods dominate the universe', and give the real world, real people, a stable and peaceful home." ”

[Trigger Hidden Mission: Discover the Truth of the World]

【Completion Reward: Renegade Clue ×1】

The system's chime echoed in each of their heads, and it was the first time in so long that the system had released a message about the main quest.

"Yes."

Xia Lingge, Si Cheng, Shen Yu and Bai Xi responded one after another, Altai was overjoyed, and he was very excited to give everyone a hug.

Xia Lingge dodged unceremoniously, Bai Xi politely refused, and Altai could only catch Si Cheng and Shen Yu to express his indescribable joy and enthusiasm, "You are welcome to join." He opened his arms, "Don't worry, we won't be stingy with warriors." It's just your clothes......"

They are still wearing white robes brought from the temple, which can be described as hateful things here, Xia Lingge untied the white robe, but did not hand it over to Altai: "Since it is to overthrow the gods, maybe there is still the possibility of infiltrating the temple in the future, I will keep this white robe by myself so that it will not be discovered, so I won't bother you." ”

Hearing her say this, the rest of the people also put away their white robes one after another.

Altai withdrew his hand that wanted to take something, "Okay then." He smiled, "You have your own ideas, I respect." Now, let's talk about this ridiculous world......"

Before the sound fell, footsteps could be heard not far away.

It was dawn, and for them it was a time of enslavement.

Altai sighed: "You guys rest here first, don't go out, and we will communicate after this day." ”

With that, he walked out of the cellar with the man who had come to tell him.

The cave became quiet, only the 'crackling' flames were constantly burning, Xia Lingge tore off a few strips of cloth from his neat clothes, put them on the ground and rubbed some dust, and then wrapped them around his body.

"Senior sister, what are you doing here?" Si Cheng was puzzled.

Xia Lingge replied: "What kind of people you join must look like what kind of people, dressed neatly and swaggering around the market here, even if you are not a person from the temple, you will inevitably not be excluded." ”

Si Cheng and Bai Xi felt that there was some reason, and they also tore the clothes on their bodies like her.

"I said, you're too deep into the play." Shen Yu crossed his knees and leaned lazily against the wall and said, "It's just a group of NPCs, even if they are excluded, won't the game give clues?" ”

He lowered his cap and turned to walk out.

"Why are you going?" Baixi asked him.

"Seek the truth." Shen Yu didn't look back, just raised his hand and waved, "Compared to your turtle speed faction, I still prefer to come directly." ”

Bai Xi pursed his mouth and did not speak.

Xia Lingge turned his head sideways and asked her, "Is he so under-filmed in reality?" ”

Bai Xi shook his head: "He often goes alone, and I don't know very well. ”

After she finished speaking, Xia Lingge nodded clearly.

"Senior sister, where are you going?" Si Cheng asked her.

Xia Lingge took off the torch on the wall and walked towards the depths of the road: "Complete the task." ”

"Is there anything to be found here?" The dark cave is like an abandoned child, without light and warmth, what can be in such a dilapidated place?

Xia Lingge still walked into the depths: "No matter how tattered it is, it is still a corner of the world, and it is dark, and it is easier to bury the truth." ”

Xia Lingge picked up a small pebble and gently marked the wall with sharp edges and corners, and they bypassed many repetitive paths to a tunnel as deep as an abyss.
