I, Kiriko, the Cheater

Tongzi frowned, looking at the weird figure who appeared from the shadow of the alley.

"You are the leader of the Adventurer's Guild? However, even if you are the leader, you can't force others to be our companions, right?"

Leaning on crutches, the weirdo slowly approached.

"No, no, I'm not the president of the Adventurer's Guild, and what I provide is not such an inconvenient thing."

"what is that?"

"The answer is simple, slaves."

"slave?"

As a modern person, Tongzi has a natural sense of discomfort with the word slave.

But she also knows that it is a very stupid thing to comment on a different world that has nothing to do with the earth from the perspective of modern people.

Originally, people's thinking is different, let alone a different world.

Since this weirdo said that the goods he provided were slaves, in other words, his true identity was a slave trader.

Is it a slave...

To be honest, Tongzi really didn't think about slaves.

But now think about it carefully, since the adventurers in this country are not willing to team up with Naofumi Iwatani, then he can only rely on slaves now.

Rather, after experiencing Mai Yin's incident, even if an adventurer really sent him up, would he still dare to take it?

However, even if you are a slave, there is no guarantee that you will not betray your master.

Like Brother Spartacus...

Perhaps seeing Tongzi's doubts, the profiteer slightly helped the top hat he was wearing on his head.

"You don't have to worry, because the slaves are all engraved with slave patterns. They can neither lie, nor disobey the master's orders, let alone betray the master, otherwise the slave patterns engraved on them will take effect, and in severe cases, they will even be killed. Pay the price with your life."

So, in this case, slaves are indeed more convenient than adventurers.

At least you don't have to worry about something like Batiatus happening.

It's just that I don't know whether Iwatani Naofumi, who is also a modern person, can accept it psychologically...

Tongzi turned her head and glanced at Naofumi Iwatani. The latter still looked sullen, but he didn't show any resistance.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Tongzi nodded to the profiteer.

"Lead the way."

Hearing Tongzi's words, the profiteer raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.The teeth reflected a cold light, and even this smile was very similar to the Millennium Duke in his memory.

Then, for a thousand years...the profiteer took Tongzi and Naofumi Iwatani and walked in a certain direction.

The three walked along this alley and entered the depths of the alley.

After walking a certain distance, homeless people and gangsters began to appear in the alley, and a stench mixed with feces, urine and sweat filled the air.

When the three of them passed by, most of the people just looked up at the three of them and then lowered their heads. Some people stared at them with eyes full of hatred and jealousy.

But until they walked out of this alley, no one dared to put the malice in their hearts into practice.

When several people walked out of the alley, they could see a hut like a circus tent appearing in the spacious open space outside the alley.

"Please come this way."

The profiteer led the way towards the circus tent.

Tongzi noticed that there were figures with weapons scattered around the hut for vigilance. These figures, almost without exception, were not pure-bred humans.

"That's demihumans and orcs."

Seemingly noticing Tongzi's gaze, the profiteer raised his top hat slightly.

"Demihumans are a race that has an appearance similar to that of humans, but some parts show the characteristics of beasts. Beastmen are demihumans with a high degree of animalization. Except for human form, they hardly resemble humans..."

Tongzi asked casually.

"Do you have no human subordinates?"

The profiteers seem to be stepped on the tail.

"Look at what you said, Meromag is a country that upholds human supremacy. It is against the law to use humans as slaves. I am a serious businessman, so of course I will not violate the laws of the country."

"Do demihumans and orcs not matter?"

"Of course, demihumans and orcs are not regarded as humans, but as monsters. Therefore, it is not so easy for their race to make a living in this country. But correspondingly, in countries that are hostile to Meromag, they believe in Subhumanism is the exact opposite of this country."

The two orcs standing guard at the entrance of the circus tent just looked at Tongzi and Naofumi Iwatani who were following the profiteer, then looked away and let a few people in.

"here it is……"

After seeing the things inside clearly, Tongzi couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

There are a lot of iron cages piled up in the hut. At first glance, there are at least dozens of them, and the sizes of the cages are not exactly the same.

Next to each cage, there is a lamp, the light is not bright, but I don't know why, maybe it is magic.

But when it comes to magic, Kiriko is most surprised by the space of this room.
