When Ash woke up, he saw Harvey and Igura eating sandwiches.
"Aren't you afraid of poison?"
"Then I'll take your share—"
"What I mean is that you should ask me to get up and help you test the poison." Ash quickly picked up the last sandwich and licked it to declare his sovereignty, which made Igura look disgusted.
"How long did we sleep just now?"
Ash opened the game interface and said, "It's 2 o'clock in the morning. I just slept for less than an hour."
Igula murmured: "That means we have to stay here for the next day..."
"Why?"
"If there is only 6 hours of driving left, there is no need for them to provide food. We are injured and sleepless now. If we stop eating for another day, there is a risk of sudden death, so they specially provide food for us.
"
This sandwich couldn't fill his stomach at all, and even made Ash even hungrier. He knocked on the cushioned wall and said sadly: "Are we going to jail again? I now doubt that after I die, the Magician's Manual
Will the title be "Popular Prison Review"..."
"Going to jail is already a very good situation." Igura said faintly: "What I am most afraid of now is that they are a slave society. Magicians are the slave owners class, and ordinary people are all slaves of magicians. If they cooperate with magicians,
The technological system has forcibly pushed the slave society into a modern developed country..."
Harvey asked: "Isn't it better to be a slave than a prisoner?"
"Oh shit, the biggest problem in the slave society is that the country is governed by people, the legal system is incomplete, and conflicts of interest occur. The first thought of slave owners is not to solve the problem, but to solve the people who caused the problem. They love violence and attach great importance to blood relationships.
It excludes and discriminates against outsiders very much. Everyone’s social position is assigned from the day they are born, and there is no class mobility at all.” Igula said in disgust: “Even a bit of feudal superstition is better than slavery.”
Harvey smiled: "Then we really escaped from the Blood Moon Kingdom to a worse country. Alas, if you think about it carefully, the Blood Moon Kingdom is actually quite good. If the church allows ordinary people to study the necromancy faction, in fact, I
I’m too lazy to run away. It’s a pity that I didn’t have the conditions to go to school at the beginning, and I won’t be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination later. I can’t become a blood saint, so naturally I don’t have the right to study the undead faction..."
"It may not be a slave society." Ash stretched out his tongue and licked the water in the water bottle: "Maybe this is a more advanced civilized country than the Blood Moon Country, and it is not hostile to refugees from other countries -
—”
"What civilized country would produce such a professional prison van?" Igula patted the cushions on the back: "Harvey, if you want to kidnap someone, how will you transport them?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"you do not know?"
"Although I know..." Harvey muttered: "I have a friend, a real friend. If it were me, I would first turn the person into a corpse and then let him run back... That friend is generally
It uses drugs to assist with hypnotic magic to make the target faint, then ties it up and throws it directly into a small cargo and transports it away."
"Will there be a company in the blood moon that produces carriages like this?"
"It's impossible. The only ones that can barely be mentioned are RVs, but the business of kidnapping people is considered a relatively low-value segment in our society. It's impossible to customize a carriage specifically for such a small business."
Igurla looked at Ash: "So, do you understand, leader of the cult? People who have such carriages must be special professionals whose main business is to kidnap people. They are most likely to be a slave-catching team. If there is a slave-catching team,
Then of course there is slavery..."
"Wait a minute." Ya Xiu raised his hand and asked, "Can't he be a human trafficker?"
"Xingnu is also a kind of slave——"
"Maybe they are child traffickers."
"Children are abducted?" Igulla and Harvey looked confused at the same time, "Why are children abducted? Who would buy them? Why are they bought?"
Only then did Ash remember that in the Blood Moon Kingdom, even families had been broken up. Since there were no buyers, there were naturally no human traffickers. He spent some time describing this evil animal industry, but Igurra and Harvey still couldn't understand it——
It’s like describing how refreshing it is to exercise to a fat person who doesn’t exercise.
Although they escaped from the Blood Moon Kingdom, the Blood Moon culture is still deeply imprinted in their souls. It is difficult for them to understand that there are people who want offspring at all costs, even the offspring of others, and even gave birth to a sinister
Industry - because in their world view, future generations may be closer than others, but after all, they are also 'others', not 'themselves'.
In a sense, Blood Moon did not deliberately obliterate their emotions, but only perfected and catalyzed one of their correct thinking patterns to the extreme - when selfishness became the highest criterion for their actions, the emotional activities that required dedication naturally became difficult.
understand.
This is also the reason why Ash is always wary of them. Not only are they death row prisoners, but also because Blood Moon’s education has pushed their lower limit very low, even to the point where they can compete with the guy who calls Ash at three o’clock in the middle of the night.
Get up to catch up with the project manager on PPT.
Human beings are really very limited creatures. They cannot recognize things they have not seen. Only by witnessing enough things can they understand all the truths in the world. If there is not enough experience, even if there are gems in front of you, you will only understand.
It will be thought that it is a stone, so if you want to get the gem, you must first witness the rise and fall of all things...
Ash suddenly had a strange idea. He shook his head to suppress the sudden Chuuji, and said: "Even if it is really a slave-catching team, it can at least guarantee our life safety, and the identity of slaves will also help us.
Get to know the world quickly. At worst, you could become an escaped slave, but we are escaped prisoners. When it comes to escaping, we are professionals."
Igula looked at Ash in surprise and said nothing for a while. Ash was uncomfortable looking at him: "What's wrong?"
"Actually, I had a vague feeling when I was in prison," Igula said: "I don't know whether it is the fearlessness caused by ignorance, or the blind confidence you cultivated as the leader of a cult, but you never seem to be afraid of the malice of fate."
"After all, we finally escaped from the Blood Moon, but we turned around and were caught again. Even I can't help but want to say a few dirty words to the world, but you are like a fish that only has seven seconds in my memory.
, and in a blink of an eye, I started thinking, 'How will I use this status if I become a slave?'"
"Do you have any trump cards that you can rely on?"
Trump card? Does the black and white witch you just drew count?
Ash scratched his head: "Isn't this a very common psychological quality? It's just like when your boss suddenly gives you a new task when you get home from work and requires it to be completed before tomorrow morning. After cursing a few words in your mind, don't you have to call me a takeaway boss?
Work overtime honestly?"
Harvey said: "I don't think most people equate working overtime with being caught by a slave squad... then."
Ash and Igura caught what Harvey threw - Snow White Moon Candies.
"When we get off the bus, that's when we are at our weakest and they are at their most relaxed." Harvey said calmly: "This thing can forcefully make you energetic, overcome the sleepless fatigue, and even speed up the recovery of magic power.
"
"After you leave the blood moon, you have no place to buy moon candy." Igula said: "Physical sugar addiction can be cured with magic spirits, but psychological sugar addiction I have never heard anyone say in so many years.
Neng Jie. In Broken Lake Prison, too many death row inmates have spent all their contributions just to buy moon candy."
"There should be similar drugs in this country." Harvey patted the wall cushion: "The more advanced a country is, the more popular drugs are to fill the emptiness. All races have a tendency to self-destruct. When survival is no longer possible,
Because of pressure, they will pursue activities that are more dangerous and more likely to bring pleasure."
"The Necromancer's weird conclusion." Igula put it away: "I'll accept it. I won't eat it, but I will cooperate with you."
"Same here." Ash wasn't interested in challenging his poison resistance, but after thinking about it, he still put it in the bag - he could consider giving it to his substitute to see how it would react.
The first time I think of a substitute when something delicious comes out, it’s me as expected.jpg
...
After a long drive, at 6 pm during the blood moon, Igula finally felt the carriage stop. The exhausted three people looked at each other, knowing that the next step was the first difficulty, and Harvey silently took one
Moon candy instantly lifted my energy and energy.
The side door of the carriage opened, "Come out, three of you."
At this moment, Ash suddenly realized that he could understand the language of this country. Although it had a very strange accent, which was probably the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin, he could still understand it if he looked carefully.
Even if they speak the same language, different cities will have different accents, so it's normal for the other person to have an accent. It's just that they traveled to another country, but the basic language is still the same?
When I walked out of the carriage, I saw a sky with half the setting sun and half the starry sky, and a place that looked like an abandoned industrial park. This is a rare sight in the blood moon country - the blood moon always waits before the sun sets.
declare one's existence.
As they expected, the vehicle transporting them was quite advanced, and was entirely silver-white. Although it still had four wheels, the tires did not have any patterns to increase friction and prevent slipping. It seemed that it could drift more than ten meters with any brake. It was completely unimaginable how to drive.
, it looks like a concept car that only exists in fantasy.
This is a country with very advanced magician technology, at least more advanced than Blood Moon.
After seeing this car that could represent the crystallization of industrial production, the three of them made this judgment at the same time.
"These three are the foreigners you need. You can check them with the Gospels."
Standing in front of Ash were two ordinary people: the immature young housekeeper, and the beautiful girl with purple hair and green eyes.
The latter was holding a luxurious orange velvet folding fan and wearing a purple windbreaker. When Ash saw her, he immediately thought of a description that often appeared in gossip news: overwhelming the audience!
Ash subconsciously glanced at Igura - the beauty of this girl was almost as beautiful as Igura!
And because Ash is more familiar with Igula, and the flowers at home are not as fragrant as wild flowers, the appearance of the strange girl gained extra points in Ash's mind, completely defeating Igura.
Judging from Ash's description, these two are not ordinary, right? But compared with the other group of people, they are indeed ordinary - six black-robed weirdos, staring eerily.
Ash and the other three.
"I'm sure he's from a foreign land." The leading man in black robe nodded, "Without further delay, let's make a deal quickly."
The middle-aged butler stepped forward and took out three controller-like keys, and the man in black robe also took out a box. Harvey lowered his eyelids, as if he was about to make some move.
But until the transaction was over, the three of them did not move.
Because the girl in purple has been smiling and looking at them.
Ash even triggered his 'Beast Intuition', which showed that this girl in purple was more of a beast than Ash, so much so that Ash began to be afraid subconsciously.
The housekeeper handed the box to the girl in purple. The girl in purple opened it and took out an octahedral amethyst. There seemed to be a light source inside the amethyst, glowing with a warm and friendly light, which made the girl in purple even more dazzling and beautiful.
It went straight up to the point of beating up Igurah.
"The transaction is completed." The girl in purple and the young housekeeper made way, "Then, these three people will be handed over to you, the Four Pillar Gods."
Four Pillars of God?
Four Pillars of God!
Harvey and Igura instantly turned their heads and stared at Ash. Ash also had a look of astonishment on his face - he did vaguely hear the word Four Pillars of God before falling asleep, but the speaker had a heavy accent, and he fell asleep again.
Shen Chen thought that he heard wrongly.
Before Ash could react, dozens of chains emerged from the sleeves of the man in black robes and tied the three of them up tightly. They were all stuffed into prepared body bags and thrown into their car.
He turned to the girl in purple and said, "Then let's go back and start the sacrificial ceremony. We will continue to cooperate with the funeral office if we have the opportunity in the future."
The purple-clothed girl nodded slightly: "Nineth on the "Azula Mission List", the funeral office is always waiting for your entrustment."
