The guard waved his hand to let him go, and Lorraine followed Kudos into the valley. He saw a busy scene in front of him, with crowds of people everywhere, and chants of "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" kept coming and going.
There are piles of various materials piled here and there in the camp, making it look like a refugee camp.
A thoroughfare leads straight from the door to the depths, with long rows of simple longhouses built on both sides of the road. Those houses were all hastily made of thick wood, and some of them had not even scraped off the bark.
The roof is made of wood and thatch, and Lorraine, who is a short wooden house, can jump up to it.
That kind of simplicity can only be seen in prisoner of war camps or Nazi concentration camps. The comfort of the residents is not considered at all, just a place to keep out the wind and rain is enough.
But even so, the wood is already a little yellowed and old, and it looks like it has seen a lot of time.
The workers who came in and out were all strong laborers in their twenties and thirties, with rough and dark complexions. It was obvious at a glance that they had been engaged in heavy physical labor in the sun all year round.
Lorraine saw that all of them were dressed in rags. The clothes on most of them looked like wrapped strips of cloth. Their faces were dull and expressionless, and they were just repeating their work mechanically.
It seems that under that high-intensity work, I have been so tired that I have lost my basic human emotions.
Apart from that, no women or children were seen.
Not far away, what is particularly eye-catching is that there are several gallows standing with several human figures hanging on them. They are swaying swaying when the wind blows.
The workers who passed by the gallows hurried over with their heads bowed deeply, not daring to take a glance.
A few black crows were not afraid of people, so they squatted on the wood and made a harsh and unpleasant scream. From time to time, they picked at the carrion on the corpses.
All these signs show that this is a real terrorist concentration camp.
Seeing this scene, Lorraine's heart palpitated. The scene that had appeared on TV and movies before was vividly placed in front of him. Lorraine cursed in his heart, the demon's methods were much more vicious than his own.
Lorraine used Orc prisoners of war in Naian, and gave them enough rest time, and strictly prohibited the torture of prisoners of war.
Even the conditions in the quarry for labor reform prisoners are much better than here. The demons simply treat their own people as if they are not human beings. They are so cruel to their own people, these guys are really powerful.
Seeing that Lorraine was still looking around curiously, the middle-aged man hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him, and said sincerely: "Ren, it's not easy for your uncle to find a job for you. Don't screw it up. Life here is really not valuable. That's it.
If you take the wrong path, your head can move, every day
Several dozen people are going to die. Although our cooks are treated differently from those workers, we don’t see what we shouldn’t see, we don’t listen to what we shouldn’t hear, we don’t ask what we shouldn’t ask, and we don’t say what we shouldn’t say.
Don’t even say what you can say. Just make your own money honestly.”
Lorraine looked at the concern on his face and sighed inwardly: This is the life philosophy of an ordinary person.
Because he is too weak and does not have much courage, or in other words, he has too many concerns, such as his wife, children, parents, house...
Therefore, they don't have much ability, they just try to make ends meet.
They can neither change society nor reality. They are struggling to survive at the bottom of the ruthless power and money society. The only thing they can do is to distort and change themselves as much as possible to adapt to this society.
But this is the most correct way for them to survive. Thinking of this, he immediately smiled, bared his white teeth, tried his best to show an honest expression, and said: "Uncle Kudos, don't worry. I won't mess with too much."
Big trouble."
Lord Lorraine always means what he says, he just doesn't get into "too big" trouble.
And the so-called 'too much trouble' is like what the bricks say is basically good. In fact, it means the same thing.
In other words, Lord Luo must have gotten into some trouble, and it was nothing more than killing people, setting fires, and slaughtering a few high-level dark people. It was not too much trouble. It was Lorraine's job in the first place.
However, his tone was vague, and Kudos did not understand the specific meaning of this scumbag's words.
Therefore, like all the kind-hearted people who are easily fooled, he felt relieved and patted Lorraine on the shoulder.
He laughed and said, "If you say that, I'll be relieved. You're not young anymore. You should be sensible. Work hard here and save some money to build a house and marry a wife."
By the way, how are your skills? Tell the truth, if it's not very good, just tell me in advance and I'll cover it up for you so you can get through it safely. Master Hagen's taste is very difficult to deal with."
Lorraine smiled and clapped her hands and said, "Uncle, don't worry. When it comes to cooking skills, our family members all agree. Even the city guard is full of praise for my skills."
Kudos looked at him strangely, and was very worried: Although he had Kadora's strong recommendation, was this young man unreliable? He was so inaccurate that the city guard was full of praise?
Isn't this nonsense?
The Lord City Keeper is a descendant of the Spider God. He is a high-ranking figure. Normally, people would lose their life if they meet him. You, a young man, can actually cook for him?
This sounds a little weird.
But seeing that Lorraine was so confident, patting her chest and talking so much, he was unwilling to say more.
He didn't know that when Lord Lorraine was working as a homebody in his previous life, he had no money, no house, and no way to marry a wife, so he had to cook for himself. If he didn't have this cooking skill, he would have starved to death.
Kudos just nodded and said: "That's good, that's good."
He took Lorraine with him, and the two of them walked forward, passing through the outer workers' camp, and walked for a while before arriving at the foot of a mountain.
Lorraine's eyes suddenly opened up, and a busy construction site appeared in front of him.
But despite being mentally prepared, when he saw the building in the middle of the construction site, his pupils couldn't help but shrink and he felt a chill all over his body.
I saw that in the middle of the open space, a tall and majestic fortress was rising from the ground. It was covered with ant-like workers, who were busy under construction.
Lorraine did some visual inspection and found that the castle was a hundred feet high and the surrounding area was three miles in size. It was also three times larger than the centuries-old solid castle in his hometown.
Either because it has not yet been completed, or for other reasons, the castle does not stand on the ground, but is suspended in mid-air, with thick iron chains all around it.
The view from here is extremely shocking.
The fortresses are all built with hard and thick giant stones, which are enough to defend against the current mainstream projectile weapons in the Holy Light Continent.
There are countless crenellated shooting holes on it. Although it is not equipped with weapons yet, it is still dark and intimidating.
You can imagine how earth-shattering it will be once these crenellations are equipped with powerful magic weapons and the red flames filled with death are spewed out.
The solid city walls and fortresses built by humans are like nothing in front of it. No wonder it has become a strategic weapon like an aircraft carrier. If it hadn't encountered the abnormal attack power of the Maple Leaf Danlin Magic Tower, this floating
The appearance of a fortress on the battlefield can indeed determine victory or defeat.
At this time, a huge noise came.
Lorraine was startled and looked attentively.
On the upper level of the castle, hundreds of workers were naked, dragging a huge stone up the slope with all their strength.
The ropes were all stretched straight. Even though they were far away, Lorraine seemed to be able to hear the numbing squeaking sound when the ropes were tightened.
But the boulder never moved up. The workers tried their best, but they seemed to be held up by a rope by a giant and could only stand there in a stalemate.
At this moment, I heard the sound of a whip exploding.
When a supervisor who was patrolling saw this situation, instead of going to help, he cursed ferociously and beat the workers desperately with his whip.
The whips were swung like raindrops, and the workers were immediately beaten to pieces.
Lorraine closed her eyes immediately and sighed in her heart: It's over~!
It was like a tug-of-war. At this time, the workers were running out of strength to pull up. All they needed was more strength, but the son-of-a-bitch overseer was beating him severely with his whip. When the whip came down, there was a bloody mark.
After this beating, as long as one guy screams in pain and loses his strength, the boulder will slide down.
Sure enough, a loud scream sounded.
I don’t know who started it, but after the severe beating, someone finally couldn’t stand the pain, so he dropped the rope like a conditioned reflex and reached out to hold his head.
Under this situation, the boulder immediately slid down.
The rest of the people were pulled down and fell down. Then, like a slow motion, the huge stone lost control and slowly slid downwards.
The workers behind were also desperately pulling the boulder. When they saw the boulder in front of them sliding down, they all screamed. Then they threw the ropes in their hands and hurriedly ran to both sides to avoid it.
Some people looked at the boulder in front of them and were unable to dodge. They were immediately pressed over by the boulder, leaving only a pool of blood behind.
And since there were no protective barriers on both sides, someone in a hurry to dodge, failed to see clearly, screamed, lost his footing and fell from a height of tens of meters.
Like a huge stone thrown into a calm pond, it immediately caused a huge wave, and the scene instantly got out of control.
The fall of the first boulder immediately caused a chain reaction. The workers behind dropped the ropes in their hands and fled to the side, and they pulled the boulder and began to slide down, then the ones behind them, and the ones behind...
There was a sudden chaos on the construction site.
Some people screamed and fell from high places, and some wailed and were crushed by boulders. More people screamed, gave up their work, and ran away, turning their backs on the fortress.
.
Finally, as the boulders slid down, they began to collide with each other, making an earth-shattering sound.
Some changed their tracks, slid directly down the side of the ramp, fell from a high altitude, and then made a loud noise, splashing the dust on the ground, forming a khaki weed, and the laborers working below did not even have time to make a sound.
He screamed and was smashed to pieces.
‘Dong, dong dong——”
Huge boulders kept colliding with each other and falling. The huge sound kept ringing, and a dense cloud of smoke and dust rose up from the construction site.
Finally, when the smoke cleared, everything settled down.
A miserable scene like hell appeared in front of Lorraine.
Dozens of boulders were thrown over randomly on the construction site, smashing the shed and materials below into a mess.
Many people were buried in the messy pile of materials.
Some people even had their lower bodies hit by boulders, wailing miserably. They tried desperately to push away the rocks that were pressing on them, as if they could push away the boulders weighing several tons.
Helpless, ridiculous, but full of despair.
When Lorraine saw this, she immediately ran over.
When he came to the construction site and saw the dead and injured, he didn't care much at the moment. He rolled up his sleeves slightly and helped them on the side.
Dig survivors out from under fallen timber and rubble, and stop the bleeding of those injured.
At this moment, the supervisor who realized that he had gotten into a big trouble also ran down in a hurry.
He looked at the injured people there and the construction site that had been smashed into shape, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He cursed angrily: "Don't worry about them, just work quickly. You bastards, get up and get back to me."
Work~!”
With the roar of anger, he waved the whip in his hand and kept hitting the surviving workers. The beatings made them howl and dodge again.
Under his leadership, the remaining supervisors also came closer one after another, holding their whips tightly in their hands, and kept yelling and kicking at the workers.
The workers did not dare to resist, and did not bother to save their companions. Instead, they rolled and crawled towards the construction site.
The supervisor saw that Lorraine turned a deaf ear to his words and was still half-kneeling on the ground, using a wooden stick to fix the arm of a broken wounded man, and couldn't help but feel angry.
He pointed at Lorraine and shouted: "Are you deaf? I told you to go back to work!"
With that said, he whipped his whip at Lorraine.
Although Lorraine has been playing hooligan with firearms, he has never given up his martial arts skills, and he has never looked down upon such low-level opponents.
Hearing the wind, he turned slightly to one side, and then, with a flash of lightning, his right hand grabbed the tip of the overseer's whip in mid-air. Then he suddenly turned around and glared at him fiercely.
The supervisor looked at the fierce murderous intent in Lorraine's eyes. He was startled and took half a step back. His knees became weak involuntarily and he wanted to kneel down.
At this time, the middle-aged man had already hurried over.
He smiled at the supervisor and said: "Master Uke, Master Uke, don't be surprised. He is the new cook, the chef who came to cook for Lord Hagen. Young people are ignorant, so don't be surprised.
Don’t be offended…”
As he spoke, he kept nodding and bowing to the man.
The supervisor calmed down at this time and found that he was so frightened by a young cook that he almost wet his pants, and he became angry from embarrassment.
He wanted to crack the whip at Lorraine again, but he was afraid of the murderous intent in Lorraine's eyes just now, and even had some doubts that anyone with such a look was not a good person, and was most likely a ruthless person.
Is this young ruffian sent to conduct an undercover investigation from above, or is he a killer from a gang? No matter which of these two people he is, he cannot afford to offend.
Moreover, he was the chef who came to cook for the camp director, and he was not someone he could manage.
Uk hesitated for a moment, and finally snorted angrily, then pointed the whip at the middle-aged man's nose and shouted angrily: "Kudos, this time I will give you face. Clean up and get out of here. The factory is not
This is a place where you cooks can come, but if I see you wandering around here again later, I will whip you to death~!"
In order to increase his momentum, he raised his right hand and then whipped a whip in the air, making a crisp explosion.
Then he deliberately stomped his leather boots, vomited, walked away triumphantly with heavy steps.
Lorraine turned around and took a look, and then realized that no one except herself cared about the lives of these injured people.
Some supervisors looked at the injured people lying on the ground and groaned, and even ran over, yelled and whipped them several times, until they were sure that they really couldn't get up, and then left in a hurry. Only the injured people were left there.
Staying where they were, screaming and wailing, the overseers just left these people here to die.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel furious: The Holy See's description of the demons was rarely wrong. This is really a cruel and cold society, such a ferocious and deformed thing. It really should be all destroyed~~!
Although people in the Holy Light Continent gnashed their teeth in hatred when the demons were mentioned, Lorraine didn't have much aversion to the demons.
Because of Adeling and Deipole, Lorraine still has a relatively good impression of the demon clan. A place that can cultivate a girl like Adeling who is beautiful, intelligent, and affectionate will not be any worse.
Although the Holy See has been promoting this place as a hell-like scene, where the weak eat the strong and bully the weak, the upper class is greedy, cunning, warlike and shameless, while the lower class live a life worse than a slave, with no food or clothing, but they still have to sing praises all the time.
Great leader high priest.
However, Lorraine never took the Holy See's words seriously at first.
Fantino has too many lies before, and it is difficult for people to believe them anymore. Furthermore, Lorraine thinks this is just propaganda. If it is worse, which country or continent is not like this?
After coming to the Demon Clan these days, after seeing with his own eyes and hearing with his own ears, Lorraine felt that the world here was really bad. Like a prosperous port like Caribbean Port, but outside the city is an disorderly slum. If it is worse than that,
Only Ah San can compete.
The people who work here are ordinary people in the area. They were forcibly recruited to work in the government, but no one cares about their life or death.
He briefly settled the injured people. At this time, someone nearby saw that the supervisors seemed to be ignoring them, so they boldly came over to help, carried the injured people aside, and wrapped their wounds.
When Kudos saw someone coming to help, he hurriedly picked up Lorraine and pulled him aside. He said, "Let's go, let's go."
As he walked away, he complained in a low voice: "Ren, I shouldn't have said this originally. Your kindness in saving those people is not wrong, but you must also think about yourself. What if those people
If someone really turns against you, you won't be able to escape a severe beating."
Lorraine smiled and said, "Uncle, you taught me a lesson. I've written it down."
Kudos looked back at him, shook his head, and said: "Ren, don't blame uncle, being passionate and upright is a good thing. I was young back then. But in this world, we commoners have no way to survive... In the end
, no matter what, this blood will still become cold...sigh..."
As he spoke, he shook his head, let out a long sigh, a look of vicissitudes of life appeared on his face, and then took the lead and walked forward.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile, and then looked back.
I saw that the construction site had resumed work at this time. I sighed in my heart: Are these people too eager, or are they numb?
In this short period of time, they had completely forgotten everything that had just happened. Then they continued to work hard under the whips of the supervisors.
Maybe they are a silent volcano, just waiting to burst into roar one day?
Lorraine glanced coldly, then followed the middle-aged man and walked towards the nearby camp.
The camps here are different from those outside. Although they are still a little crude, they are all made of masonry structures and are unusually strong and spacious. They are many times better than the public sheds outside.
The floor was even specially laid to prevent moisture. You could tell at a glance that it was the residence of those in charge of leaders.
Lorraine followed Kudos and walked for a while inside the barracks.
I met a few people on the road, but Lorraine found that all of them had their mouths closed, and even those they knew well only nodded slightly. It seemed as if they were afraid that if they said one more word, they would get into trouble.
The air smelled of dullness and tension.
Kudos bypassed one of the largest and most imposing barracks and came to the annex behind it. Then he pushed the door open and entered in a familiar manner.
Lorraine also hurriedly followed in, and saw that the room was simply furnished, with only two beds, a few chairs, and a table in the middle.
Kudos threw his things on one of the beds, and then said: "This is where we live. Not far in front is the kitchen. We don't do anything else but cook for Lord Hagen. Others
We don’t have to worry about everything. And there are people waiting for us. Here, our job is envied by many people.”
Lorraine nodded immediately and said, "That's not bad."
Kudos glanced at him, and then continued: "You have been walking for a long time, and you are probably tired. Let's take a rest now. Lord Hagen always eats early, so wait a moment, and we will have dinner at dusk.
Be prepared in advance.
And in the middle of the night, adults also want to have midnight snacks. These must be prepared in advance. "
Lorraine agreed immediately.
Seeing his arrogance, Kudos didn't seem to take it to heart at all. He gave a few more instructions, and then said: "I'm going to go to the manager now to say hello and cancel the leave. I'll get you some more suitable uniforms. Maybe.
, but also consider your craftsmanship. You must be mentally prepared in advance."
After saying that, he went out.
Lorraine watched him close the door and go out, and he let out a long breath. This uncle's nagging skills were at the level of a Shaolin sweeping monk. Even Sun Dasheng couldn't stand having him chant in his ears for so long.
But it's no wonder, everyone here is nervous, and they all keep their mouths closed. If you suddenly find someone who can talk, they will naturally become more talkative.
He didn't go out. He threw his things on the other bed, then walked back and forth in the room twice, looking at the furnishings in the room, and then through the window, looking at the situation outside. Briefly.
I became familiar with the terrain and prepared myself for the next step.
