Chapter 43 Observation
It's late at night, and as the sun sets, the monster hybrids all return to this place that they can barely call home.
Since Larante did not allow them to stay overnight in the city, they had no choice but to return here.
However, when they returned here today, they saw the short child who lived in the cave waiting for them at the entrance of the slum.
"Everyone! Everyone! Listen to me!" Bai ran back and forth at the door, shouting loudly.
The exhausted monster hybrids looked at each other, wondering what the little girl was doing.
There are not many monsters here, about four to five hundred people, most of them are young adults, and a small number of children, half male and female. Based on the different blood sources of the monsters, you can see their occupations.
Some of the monster hybrids were in ragged clothes and covered in sweat, but their bodies were quite strong, and you could tell at a glance that they were doing physical labor.
Some of these people have horns and are more than half taller than ordinary people, some drag a tail, and some are covered with scales. The most unhuman among them is a man with black feather wings. He even has
It has a beak that belongs to a bird, and its face does not look like a human at all. However, its body still has a roughly human appearance, but its hands and feet are like eagle claws, which look very sharp. Unfortunately, nine of the ten claws have been broken, and there is one.
Gen seemed to have allowed him to stay specifically for the sake of work.
Most of this group of people are men, but there are also many women from strong races, about dozens of them.
Humans will never allow monsters to maintain their will to resist in human territory, otherwise they will be killed without exception.
There are also some who are relatively thin, probably working in the service industry. There are many women and children here, the youngest is even younger than Bai.
Lu En looked at the clothes and conditions of those people, and he could basically conclude that many of them who were not beautiful were laundrywomen, because their fingers were swollen and purple with many wrinkles, and the children and boys were dark-skinned.
There are a lot of them, maybe they are small workers who work on chimneys. Because adults are relatively big and cannot get into the chimney, they have to let children go in to clean it. However, for children, it is quite narrow inside and there are many holes.
The soot makes it difficult to breathe, and if you are not careful, you will fall down the chimney and onto the ground, so you can see that these children have injuries on their bodies and cough from time to time.
As for some little girls, Lu En couldn't bear to see them. He knew the source of the burns on those little girls. There were many workshops in Lalante that dealt with animal skins, animal hair or textiles. These workshops had a simple but cumbersome preliminary process.
Preparation means putting animal hair, silk cocoons, or animal skins into a basin of boiling water and stirring them, then taking them out and brushing away impurities. Children can only do this kind of work. The wages are extremely low and it is very tiring. When stirring,
It is easy to get burned when boiling water splashes out, and you can only deal with the scalded blisters yourself.
The remaining ones who are smarter, and like Bai, look very human, wear a little hat with the name of the newspaper written on it. These are the professions of newsboys or informants.
And further away, at the end of the team, there is a group of people. They are covered with dust and exhausted. Because of their monster blood, these are the ones with better endurance and leg strength. They are the "Lamplighters". In the city,
Magical street lamps require people with a certain amount of magic power to activate them. Among humans, only those with "magic" skills have magic power. However, many monsters are born with a little magic power in their bodies. It is of no use, but it can activate a considerable part of the magic power.
Guide machinery, so many of them serve as lamplighters, running around in the streets, lighting up street lamps one by one, or as other people's followers, acting as human switches for their masters, because those nobles can afford magic guides.
The weapon itself has no magic power.
However, those who are followers will definitely not come back. They will be like the shadow of their master, following him wherever he goes.
These monsters are mixed blood and get up early every day to work as miners, porters, coolies, picking cotton, selling newspapers, sewing buttons, shining shoes, doing laundry, prostitutes, waiters, service personnel, anything that involves knowledge and technology.
Jobs will severely reject them, and humans do not need them to master skilled skills.
They can only engage in work that sells their physical strength and body. From the moment they are born, they are destined to work hard for a lifetime.
No punishment in prison can be compared with such a life, but in order to make a living and survive, they have to do their best even for such a life, for fear of losing it.
Lu En stood in the center of the slum. He was a high-level monster with excellent eyesight and dark vision. He could clearly see the flow of people returning in the distance.
Bai was dancing and talking to those people, explaining what happened today. Lu En felt that Bai Hui, who had lived here for a long time, could explain it more clearly and believably than if he came forward.
Nana is by Lu En's side, and now she has revealed the monster side of herself.
She is a relatively rare monster, and can barely be considered a high-level monster, so she can become a professional in very harsh environments. This is the talent of being a high-level monster, and she can hide her monster characteristics.
Because she is a vampire, even though her bloodline is very thin, but what Lu En saw at first was her fangs spread out in the dark, her dark vision, and the way she was seriously injured in the woods, but she was still alive and kicking not long after, and...
These characteristics of being able to close her teeth at will can confirm that her bloodline comes from a high-level vampire.
"Why has it become like this now? Aren't you very resistant to this gesture?" Lu En asked Nana with a smile.
"Hey, now that it's like this, sir, it's easier for you to talk. They won't resist you, right? Or, sir, are you ready to show your true self?" Nana replied with a giggle, scratching her head.
"My true posture is now. If I have to show the side of the Demon King, I need magic power. Besides, it is not suitable to reveal my identity now. I just need to gain a certain degree of trust. I will selectively let them know in the future.
My identity." Lu En shook his head and replied.
Just before, he revealed his identity to Bai Bai, which shocked the little girl. However, he also gained the other party's trust. At least now, Bai is willing to believe that he is here to save everyone here.
And Lu En asked himself, he didn't lie to these people, he was here to save them.
With Bai's help and Nana's appearance, Lu En felt that it should be enough to win the trust of these people, at least to make them willing to work for him.
