Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 358 Crime and Sin

Kemisi was stunned when he saw Doug, who had been dominating the Creeping Zone for several years, lying on the ground.

The little snake girl was also dumbfounded. Her dumbfounded look was particularly innocent and cute, but more of it was a relief.

"How did you kill it?" asked Kemisi subconsciously.

What a fool! The Lord was almost laughing out of anger: "If you don't kill it, will it kill you?"

"Don't be silly. Think about what it did to you before. If I wasn't here, it would have clearly done it to you tonight."

If he hadn't been afraid of affecting the trust that they had worked so hard to build, the lord would not have bothered to explain.

Kemisi is a typical example of someone who has been oppressed for too long. Unless he is really forced into a desperate situation, he will not resist and will just stick to the old ways and live his life.

"Ah~" The little snake girl opened her mouth and said something, which was obviously the word "you deserve it".

Several snake men wearing hoods and black robes emerged from the cave behind. After taking a curious look at the place, they immediately lowered their heads and hurried away.

People die in the Creeping Zone every day. This is completely commonplace for them and there is nothing to be curious about.

"See? This world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. The weaker you are, the more people will bully you." Levi patted Kemisi's shoulder and walked towards the nearby cave entrance.

Kemisi looked at the knife in his hand and seemed to understand something, and hurriedly followed.

……

The dungeon is located in a huge underground cave.

The towering rock dome alone was nearly a hundred meters high, as if one had walked into the belly of a giant beast, and a city built entirely of black stone lay across this cave.

The pitch-black city walls that were dozens of meters high were covered with unknown ancient patterns, and a strange-looking creature was embroidered on the red flag, as if countless animals were mixed together.

Here, only the glowing mushrooms on the surrounding rocky cliffs provide bright light for the entire cave.

Simple, angled triangular houses built of wood were everywhere in sight, until they stopped about 500 meters away from the underground city, as if there was an invisible forbidden line in the middle.

Frankly speaking, it is much more magnificent than what the Lord imagined.

He thought they were just digging caves underground to live in, but he didn't expect there was a city hidden underground.

Their target was obviously not the city. At the city gate, there was a group of burly men over two meters tall, with towering horns and cat ears, and four arms, guarding the city gate.

Their upper bodies are naked, showing off their proud muscles that seem to be made of fine steel. Behind them is a thick and long yellow and black tail that swings lazily from side to side like a steel whip.

The joining of Levi and Fatih did not cause any waves, because there were countless people wearing hoods like them.

Walking through the crowded triangular wooden houses, Fadil couldn't help but cover his nose.

The stench of dead fish left in the sun for several days kept penetrating into the nose, almost making one nauseated.

She looked around, and when her eyes moved to a dark and narrow corner, her eyes suddenly widened.

A plump woman was lying on the wall, holding a bag she had exchanged for something in her fingers. Her faded red skirt had been lifted up, and a skinny figure was lying on top of her, moving forward.

Just when Fadil wanted to take a closer look, a hand covered her eyes and turned her head back.

"This is not suitable for children, please don't look at it." The Lord naturally hugged Fadil's slender waist and followed behind Kemisi, asking curiously: "You said you were blindfolded, how could you still look so carefully?"

"Levi, you must learn to see the world with your spirit. It is more comprehensive and real than what you see with your eyes." Fatih said softly, but he did not continue to look.

This should be the Creepy Zone that Kemisi mentioned. Chaos, stench, debauchery... are the main themes here, and it is no different from the slums in Gonda.

"There's almost no one in charge of the Creeping District, so as long as not too many people die, the night wanderers in the dungeon won't come out." Kemisi took over the conversation.

Until now, it has thought a lot. Doug is dead, and no one will care about a rat man who died in the corner.

With so many people in the Rurouni Zone, no one would even notice that it was dead, because it wouldn't take long before its body was eaten up.

"Are those guarding the city gate the night wanderers?" Levi asked curiously.

Regardless of various circumstances, these soldiers guarding the city gate are very strong and valiant. They only love beauties and money, and the strong and masculine lord will inevitably develop a sense of mutual admiration.

"No, they are blood warriors." The snake boy said with envy, "They have practiced the blood battle method bestowed by the Lord God. They are the strongest warriors and the guards of the Night Walkers. They are responsible for protecting the entire underground city."

"We're here. This is where my sister and I live."

Soon the group came to a huge rock where a simple house was built. It was no different from the surrounding houses, the only difference was that the stench here was obviously much less.

Levi noticed that the people living here were all snake people like Kemisi. It seemed that these servants of God also gathered in different areas.

The snake people here obviously knew Kemisi, so when they saw it bringing two outsiders, they all cast inquiring glances.

"Lord Levi, I have to go and talk to Nanny Milan first, so that you and Sister Fatih can live here temporarily without any worries." This is how Kemisi explained.

Levi waved his hand and told it to go quickly.

It's not that the Lord of High Cliff Castle didn't have a sense of wariness, for example, thinking that the other party was going to tip off someone.

However, the other party did not bring his sister with him, and to be honest, this underground city has at least hundreds of thousands of people living in it, but he really does not take them seriously in terms of military strength.

The bloody warriors that the other side worships may seem intimidating, but the Lord's intuition tells him that at least one orc barbarian can beat ten of them.

Not to mention that this is a world without magic, without all kinds of insidious magic. Even though they have a large number of people, they will be defeated if they really start fighting.

I can only say that the confidence to not care comes from strength!
Fadil and the little snake girl went in to clean the room. They were busy all day and needed to sleep.
The idle lord took out a bottle of honey like performing a magic trick and waved his hand towards the nearby place. Although the adults were puzzled about the two strangers brought back by Kemixi, they did not ask any more questions, mainly because they did not have the energy to care about them. However, the children's curiosity could not be stopped. They hid in the corners in groups, poked their heads out and looked carefully, with the cat ears on their heads shaking, which was very cute.

"Anyone who comes and tells me his name will get some honey." Under his hood, Levi showed what he thought was his most amiable smile.

Honey is the most primitive dessert. Everyone is familiar with it, especially in a society with backward productivity. This natural and high-quality dessert is even more difficult to resist, but children are still hesitant.

Because although they are still young, they already know the cruelty of this world.

Not long ago, I heard that a little snake man was tricked into eating red earthworms.

"Whoever comes first will get all of this." The lord smiled and raised the stakes. He opened the bottle cap, revealing the golden liquid inside. It looked extremely tempting. "The brave will enjoy the most abundant fruits."

Finally, a little snake girl plucked up the courage and swam over from the group of children. She was covered by a loose gray coat, making her look skinny. She raised her young face, which was full of anticipation.

"You are a brave man and a pioneer, so you have the right to enjoy all of this." Levi stuffed the whole bottle of honey into its arms, and the rich aroma of honey kept drilling into its nose.

"Uncle cat man, are all these mine?" The little snake girl raised her head, still a little incredulous.

"Yes, it belongs to you now." Levi touched the bright oil paint on his face. It seemed that the other party obviously regarded him as the cat-man that Kimisi mentioned.

After getting a positive answer, it wiped its dirty fingers on its clothes, then reached into the bottle, dipped a little honey and put it in its mouth. It immediately showed a silly smile of great satisfaction, then closed the lid and held it carefully in its arms.

"Why don't you eat more?" Levi asked.

"My mother has been lying in bed for a long time, and I have a younger brother. If I eat this jar of honey sparingly, it will surely last me a long, long time."

After the little snake girl finished speaking, she thanked sincerely and left happily.

Levi was suddenly stunned. He sighed and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

Fadil, who came behind him, saw that the Lord of High Cliff Castle actually had a look of compassion in his eyes, which made her ask: "Levi, what are you thinking about?"

Levi glanced at Fatiel, his expression turned calm, and he asked pointedly: "Fatiel, if a demon who committed a heinous blood crime has offspring, do you think its offspring need to pay for the sins committed by its ancestors?"

"I think it's inappropriate to blame the offspring of an individual for the sins committed by that individual." Fatiel gave his answer after careful consideration. "But it can't be the case for all of them. For example, the offspring of the abyss demons can only be demons and should all be eliminated."

As the saint of the Holy Light Church, she has encountered many problems like this, either believers who came to confess, or priests who were confused. Although she didn't understand it very well, as a saint, she had to be more resolute.

"Yeah, it really can't be generalized." Levi shook his head and thought of the people who had a good life in their previous life.

Fatier looked at the other person, she knew that Levi must have discovered something, otherwise it would not be like this.

The Lord of Highcliff Castle has always presented himself to the outside world as a rascal who was bold enough to touch the queen's butt, but Fatih knew that he was definitely a typical person who was bold but careful. The saying "having the heart of a tiger but smelling a rose" is simply his synonym.

It is impossible to distinguish between day and night in the dungeon, but these God-servants have a unique way of telling time, which is to judge the time based on the brightness of the glowing mushrooms around them.

Therefore, when the glowing mushrooms gradually dim, it means that the outside world is beginning to get brighter.

Kemisi soon came back alone. The lord did not ask what he said, but the snake boy took the initiative to tell it, which made Levi look at him with a higher eye.

The house only has two simple rooms, each of which is only as big as a secondary bedroom in the previous life, and is separated by a wide strip of cloth as a partition.

Therefore, Fatih naturally slept with the snake girl, Kemini, and the slightly disappointed lord could only squeeze together with Kemisi.

And this night, someone is destined to have sleepless nights.

"Fuck, I don't want to sleep anymore!" The lord straightened his body and sat up from the ground. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. He turned his head and found a pair of snake eyes looking at him quietly.

"You haven't slept either?" Levi asked calmly.

"So many things happened today, who can sleep?" Kemisi muttered.

What happened on this day was more exciting than all the things that happened in the previous ten years combined.

First, he encountered a human evil, but in the end, not only was he not killed, but he was treated to a sumptuous meal, and was also saved from the damned rat man by the other party...

"Since I can't sleep, let's play cards." The lord hasn't had anyone play cards with him for a long time, and his card urge has come back, so it's a good opportunity to kill time.

Anyway, there was no need to waste some time in gathering intelligence, so he took out a deck of specially made alien-version playing cards like a magic trick.

If you look closely, you will find that the characters above are drawn with reference to the big and small leaders of Gaoya Castle, and the largest ghost card is the lord himself.

Levi was well aware of the importance of reputation, so he would not fail to use the most obvious way to increase his popularity.

Nowadays, with the way he would coax people to shuffle cards whenever he met them, this simple and fun entertainment activity had been made popular in both the north and the south by Florina and Lily. It was said that it had even begun to become popular in the city of Gunda.

His requirement was that the joker cards must have his portrait painted on them. This was called intellectual property, indicating that he was the first to start playing this form of entertainment. The Florinas had no objection to this.

After explaining the rules to Kemini in detail, it also became interested. As a result, at this moment, the curtain that served as a barrier was lifted, and both Fatih and Kemini opened their eyes wide.

"Levi, we want to play too."

"Alas, the night is long and I can't sleep. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turns out you can't sleep either." The lord shook his head and said a line that no one understood, then patted the empty seat next to him and said, "Then come together."

Kimisi lifted the leaves covering the glowing mushrooms, and the small room became a little brighter.

Under the dim light, several people sat together and began to prepare to shuffle the cards.

Facing the curious and expectant people, Levi showed an evil smile. He hadn't bullied a newbie for a long time, so he had to find a fun idea.
