Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Lu Meng silently drank another glass of strong wine.

"...Then what?" Seto asked.

Even she didn't know about these things - although she and Hamut had walked together in the swamp, that man would never mention these past events.

The little princess was not stupid. She could see that her companion had something on his mind, but since the other party didn't tell her, she pretended not to know and was always very carefree.

I just didn't expect that the truth would be so cruel.

Seto didn't drink.

But I also felt a pang in my chest.

"What else can you do..." Yinying's tone was not too disturbing.

He had known Hamut earlier than anyone else here. At that time, the other person could not suppress his anger and sadness, and would subconsciously talk about it when he was drunk.

Therefore, the Bee Prince has heard this story countless times.

Unlike now, apart from the drifter's increasingly messy hair and gradually protruding wrinkles, other people looking at him would not realize that he was thinking about killing people, and there were no other special changes.

"At first, of course, what he thought of was going to the police station and the Sheriff to call the police and question the situation," Silver Shadow continued. "The Sheriff wanted to send him away, but he saw Hamut taking a picture of his war medal. After getting the imperial officer's standard katana, I realized that the matter was not that easy to solve, so I had to reassure him to go home and wait for notification. The lord would soon find out the situation..."

"Because his home was expropriated, for this reason, he was even arranged to stay in the most luxurious hotel in the city temporarily - you know, even at that time, Hamut's year's salary could not stay there for one night, let alone Not to mention that in the past, their family could only look up to him occasionally.”

"This 'sincerity' confused him, so Hamut temporarily left the police station and stayed in a hotel, thinking that there might be some misunderstanding..."

"But that night, he was attacked."

The Sheriff's move was just a delaying tactic; he did report to the lord, but he did not request an investigation, but just reported the unruly people.

He also had a share in embezzling Hamut's house.

Due to the rise of merchant guilds and the shortage of frontline logistics, the demand for beasts of burden has increased. A wealthy businessman came here hoping to open an animal store.

The Sheriff thought that there happened to be a woman in a family who was in debt, so with a wave of his hand, he confiscated their property and used it for other purposes. He could also receive a kickback from it.

It would be terrible if Hamut found out about this.

That's why he was so anxious.

It's a coincidence. No one in Stoat Town expected that there would be warriors coming back from Buster's frontline - you know, those holy warriors of the Holy Empire, fueled by their fanatical beliefs, were like madmen. .

But it doesn't matter if a few of them come back, they will naturally have a way to deal with it.

However, the sneak attack was unsuccessful.

Because Hamut stayed up all night holding the knife - he couldn't close his eyes.

Moreover, due to the Sheriff's subconscious concealment and the contempt of the nobles, no elite hooded guards or even formal warriors were involved in this operation.

Only some "urban heroes" called private organizations but actually government-sponsored thugs came to the door and tried to disguise it as a private street fight.

But they are like gangsters.

How come he was honed on the front lines of war, Hamut’s opponent?

"After this, Hamut understood..." Silver Shadow fell into memories, "But at this time, he was wanted throughout the United Cities."

This warrior who returned from the front line used his last strength to rush into the police station, killed the sheriff, and then abandoned his armor and fled into the desert.

When he reappeared, he was already a wandering drifter.

"This friend of mine is lucky enough to be able to kill the Sheriff, but it is of no use. The other party is just a white glove." The Bee Prince said slowly, "For him, what is really important is to find his family. There was a glimmer of information about Mrs. Hamut's whereabouts that she was enslaved in a mine, but he never found her and had no chance to get close."

"Even if he knows his whereabouts, those places are heavily guarded and cannot be solved by him alone; even if he wants revenge, he has no chance of winning against the hooded guards."

"So, in addition to honing his stealth assassination skills... he just hopes to get help from a more powerful force, such as..."

"For example," Lu Meng continued, "Anti-slavery people."

That legendary, hidden, mysterious, violent and powerful organization.

Silver Shadow nodded.

To a certain extent, he holds a high position as a black converter, but he still has to work as a broker, not for money - the bee prince has already been wealthy and free.

What's more, they are attracted by the convenience of this profession in collecting information, just like a spider sitting in the web, waiting for the information they really want to come to their doorstep.

I hope I can use this to help my friends a little bit.

Among the people present, Sora remained silent like a shut down machine.

Green and Seto had never heard of the name ‘anti-slavery’ before, but they could understand the key point.

What's more, Worker Bee learned from Lu Meng that his former partner also died at the hands of a certain force in the United City; and although the Shaq Kingdom where the little princess was located seemed to be in peace with the United City and even cooperated with it, but When she was at the Stone Rat Corps' camp, she also learned that once she was arrested, she might be sent to the Union City for underground auction or even slavery... Therefore, neither of them had a good impression of those merchant nobles.

Miu and Ned were stunned.

The two smugglers had friendships with other people but not in depth. They were grateful to be brought to Shark Village, but they were a little scared to be involved in such a secret conversation.

According to the routine, they are people who know too many secrets.

Either get stabbed in the back, or be sacrificed... in short, it won't end well.

But at this moment.

They all looked at Lu Meng who was sitting there.

When they heard 'anti-slavery', the two understood why.

Because... they are all slaves who escaped from the hands of the nobles. And in that riot, those who attacked the manor were probably 'anti-slavery people'.

In other words, among everyone present.

Only these two ordinary former slaves had ever had real contact with those righteous men.

Therefore, they are qualified to stay here.

From Meiyu's angle, she could only see the young man's back, but could not see his expression clearly.

But in addition to being excited to hear the news about those benefactors again, she could not help but feel chills running down her spine.

Because, these things.

She and Ned had not mentioned it to anyone else - if they talked about the original incident to everyone, not to mention exposing their identities, it might also bring trouble to those unknown friends, right?

But according to the previous analysis, they can appear here at this moment... The deputy leader of the Skinner has undoubtedly investigated this past incident.

very scary.

The two smugglers looked at each other and said nothing.

But they all feel the same in their hearts.

Fortunately, it seems that they have no ill intentions towards me.

"Thank you for your help." Lu Meng stood up and shook hands with Yinying, "This information is very important to me."

To him, all the clues of the swamp came together.

One end held the Union City, and the other end connected the anti-slavery people.

"Wherever I can help is the best."

The bee prince said solemnly.
