When I opened the door to the room, I was greeted by the smell of sweat and blood.

The light was very dim, and the prisoners did not have the right to enjoy the light. Xiwei could only vaguely see the shadows of dozens of human figures lying in the corner.

"Bring the torch."

Xiwei informed, and soldiers came in immediately. They hung torches on the walls, and the whole room became clear in the light of the flames.

A group of prisoners with missing arms and legs were huddled in the corner.

As you get closer, you can still hear their painful groans and coughs.

"Do you know who I am?"

Xiwei stood in front of the captives of the slave-catching team, his eyes cold and filled with suppressed anger.

"No... I don't know. Sir, please let us go. I'm just an ordinary mercenary. I haven't done anything bad. I usually... usually take on tasks in Kalanli City to kill monsters..."

An older-looking mercenary raised his head. He had gray hair on his temples and a beard. His eyes were sincere and filled with tears. He looked very pitiful indeed.

If you don't know the details of these people.

Xiwei might really think that this was just an old warrior who made a living by killing monsters.

"You are the slave-catching team." Xiwei was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly revealed the identities of these people.

"You persecute innocent aliens, even your own compatriots, and use them to cultivate the fruits of parasitic trees. I already know these things."

"Sir." The old mercenary raised his head with an innocent expression.

"You must have eaten beef and mutton, right? When you eat beef and mutton, do you consider the feelings of cows and mutton? I don't think you think about it so much. You only know how to eat beef and mutton more deliciously.

"M.

"In Kalanli, the status of foreign races is equal to that of domestic animals, or even lower than domestic animals. We are indeed a slave catching team, but we only capture these things that are lower than domestic animals, and then use them to cultivate the fruits of parasitic trees.

What sin is there in all this?”

"yes……"

Other mercenaries also echoed, their faces full of grievances.

"We have no sins. Even some human slaves are the children of criminals or bandits... We have never persecuted civilians."

"Don't try to use your distorted views to influence my judgment."

Xiwei sneered.

These are just the strong arguments of mercenaries.

"I think you are wrong, then you are wrong, because I am the King of Winter, because my army is stronger than King Kalanli's army, and because King Kalanli has been placed under house arrest by me, this Kalanli

The royal capital is also under my control."

As soon as these words were said, the mercenaries who had already made some assumptions changed their expressions, and exclaimed one after another.

"With these, I have countless reasons to kill you, but this is a bit too simple."

Xiwei's voice became colder and colder, and even the flames on the torches hanging on the wall became a little weaker, seeming to be shrouded in frost.

"You must realize your mistakes and face the evil in your heart. I want you to repent and pay the price for your evil deeds."

"Your Majesty King Winter, you are very powerful, even powerful enough to subvert this country, but we are not guilty."

After the old mercenary finished speaking, he pursed his lips and lowered his head, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"The fruits of the parasitic tree we cultivated have allowed the entire Kalanli economy to develop better. What sin do we have? We just killed and played with some aliens."

"Your Majesty King Winter, may I ask whether you are the king of a foreign race or the king of humans?"

Another mercenary raised his head.

He questioned Xiwei confidently, without any fear in his eyes. The worst he could do was to die.

"Not guilty."

"We are not guilty!"

"You can kill us, but we will die without any sin."

The mercenaries were all shouting.

When Xiwei looked at these people, he felt like he was looking at a demon wearing human skin.

"Except for the elves, these alien races should have never invaded Kalanli or any human country. They just lived in the deep mountains and old forests, but you were forcibly captured. Is there no problem with what I said?"

"That's right."

Narid, the leader of the slave-catching team lying in the corner, responded.

"But His Majesty the Winter King, pigs, cattle and sheep have not invaded human countries, but they eventually became our food ingredients, and the same is true for those monsters such as the Fire Rabbit, Bobo Cow, and Bubble Squid."

"So, since these monsters can be used as materials for us humans, why can't these alien races?"

"We humans are the masters of this world."

"The entire nature follows the law of the weak and the strong. Do we, the powerful humans, have to live in peace with these weak alien races?"

"How ridiculous!?"

After hearing this, Xiwei walked to Narid's side with a solemn expression.

"Killing prey and torturing prey are two completely different concepts. In addition, the people you use as materials are humanoid aliens. In the final analysis, they belong to humans and have a human lifestyle, not beasts that bite everywhere in the mountains.

.”

"They have their own culture and civilization."

"What you are doing is not called preying on the weak. You are just adhering to the concept of supremacy of the human race and carrying out the sinful act of enslaving and exterminating races and invading other civilizations. As far as I know, only demons in the abyss can do similar things."

Speaking of which.

Xiwei has realized that no matter how much time he wastes, he will never be able to make these people feel any regret.

Just like in a previous life.

It is easy to catch some extremely vicious criminals, but it is even more difficult to get them to plead guilty.

They always have a reason to think that everything they do is right.

Even when they were executed.

Xiwei took out a fruit core from the bag.

This is the pit of a parasitic tree fruit.

Logically speaking, it cannot germinate like parasitic tree seeds.

Because parasitic trees are different from ordinary plants, how their seeds are produced has always been a mystery.

But definitely not a core.

Otherwise, King Kalanli would be so insane.

The fruit pits accumulated over the years are enough to cultivate a grove of parasitic trees.

Now.

Everything changed with Lori.

This comes from Loli's ability to control plants.

She told Xiwei that she could make the core of the parasitic tree take root and germinate like the seeds of the parasitic tree.

And you can control its actions and even completely change its habits.
