Chapter 180 Four Pillars of God!

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, "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and 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 a six-hour drive 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 little sandwich couldn't fill his stomach at all, and even made Ash hungrier. He knocked on the padded wall and said melancholy: "Are we going to jail again? Now I doubt that after I die, the title of the magician's manual will be "Comments on Popular Prisons"..."

"Going to jail is already a very good situation." Iguola said faintly: "What I fear most 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?"

“What a fart, 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 slave owners’ first thought 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 - —”

"Which civilized country would produce such a professional prison van?" Igulla 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 just like It uses drugs to assist hypnosis with magical spirits 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 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 can own such a carriage must be special professionals whose main business is to kidnap people, and 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 he's a child trafficker."

"Child abduction?" Igula and Harvey looked confused at the same time. "Why abduct children? Who would buy them? Why do they buy them?"

Only then did Ash remember that in the Blood Moon Kingdom, even families had been disintegrated. Since there were no buyers, there were naturally no human traffickers. He spent some time describing this sinful animal industry, but Igula and Harvey still couldn't understand it - it was like describing how refreshing it is to exercise to a fat man who doesn't exercise.

Although they escaped from the Blood Moon Kingdom, the Blood Moon culture was 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 spawned a criminal industry because of this - because in their world view, offspring may be closer than others, but they are still 'others' after all. , not 'self'.

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 so low that they can compete with the guy who calls Ash at three in the middle of the night. Get up and catch up on the PPT project manager.

Human beings are really very limited creatures, unable to recognize things they have not seen before. Only by witnessing enough things can we understand all the truths in the world. If you don’t have enough experience, even if a gem is placed in front of you, you will only think it is a stone. Therefore, if you want to get a 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 be 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. You seem to have never been afraid of the malice of fate."

"After all, we managed to escape 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 like when your boss suddenly gives you a new task when you get home from get off work and requires it to be completed before tomorrow morning. After a few curses 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 Candy.

"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: "The physical sugar addiction can be cured with magic spirits, but the psychological sugar addiction has never been heard of in so many years. I can quit. 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, It's pressure, and they will pursue activities that are more dangerous and more likely to bring pleasure."

"The Necromancer's weird conclusion." Igura put it away: "I'll accept it. I won't eat it, but I will cooperate with you."

"Me too." 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 the substitute to see how the substitute would react.

When I see something delicious, I immediately think of a substitute, and it’s me as expected.jpg

...

After a long drive, at 6pm during the blood moon, Igula finally felt the car stop. The exhausted three people looked at each other, knowing that the next step was the first difficulty. Harvey silently ate a moon candy and instantly felt energetic.

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, probably the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin, he could still understand it if he looked carefully.

Even if you speak the same language, different cities will have different accents, so it is normal for the other person to have an accent. It's just that they traveled to another country, but their basic language is still the same?

Stepping out of the car, you are greeted by a sky with half the setting sun and half the starry sky, and a place that looks like an abandoned industrial park. This is a rare sight to see in the Blood Moon Kingdom - the Blood Moon always eagerly declares its presence before the sun sets.

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. , 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 - this girl's beauty was as good as Igura's!

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 gets extra points in Ash's mind, completely defeating Igura.

Judging from Ash's description, these two can't be considered ordinary, right? But compared to the other group of people, they were indeed ordinary—six black-robed weirdos, staring at Ash and the others in a sinister manner.

"It's definitely someone from a foreign land." The leading man in black robe nodded, "Without further delay, let's make a deal quickly."

The middle-aged housekeeper 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 about to make some move.

But until the transaction was completed, 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 her appearance skyrocketed to the point of beating up Igurah.

"The transaction is completed." The purple-clothed girl and the young butler made way, "Then, these three will be handed over to you, the Four Pillars of God."

Four Pillars of God?

The 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 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 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."
