"Lord Soth! Abandoned people are indeed not protected by law in Calimport.
But if they become someone's slaves, they will automatically be upgraded from abandoned people to the owner's property.
However, the owner's property and slaves are protected by law."
When the hotel attendant Pike saw Zuo Si standing there for a long time without responding, he quickly stepped forward and whispered the secret.
After all, he often gets generous tips from this young but very generous and distinguished guest.
Therefore, I am very happy to provide local customs and information that the other party does not know in some cases, in exchange for some additional rewards.
"You mean... for abandoned people, being able to become a slave is not only not a bad thing, but actually improves one's status in society in disguise?"
Zuo Si seemed to understand something, but he was still stunned and couldn't believe that such a weird thing could happen in the world.
It turns out that in Calimport, being a slave is not the worst, it is the lowest social status.
Below them there is another class of lycanthropes called "abandoned people".
This group of guys will spread lycanthropy and lose control and turn into beasts on a full moon night. They are not even qualified to become slaves.
Because what slave owners need is a group of obedient slaves, not a group of mad dogs that bite their masters.
Pike replied seriously: "That's right!
As long as the body is branded with a mark that symbolizes slave status, then when others want to drive them away or even kill them, they will carefully consider the possible retaliation.
Especially for a powerful spellcaster like you who can directly talk to the leader of Apke on an equal footing, most people will not easily provoke him."
"Okay, I think I understand. Thank you for your explanation." Zuo Si took out a gold coin and gave it to the other party.
The latter immediately caught it skillfully, and kept bowing and thanking me with a smile on his face. All kinds of good words like "kindness", "generosity", and "nobility" kept popping out of his mouth.
But Zuo Si didn't pay attention to this boring flattery, but looked at the girl kneeling in front of him and asked: "Why me?
You must know that I am just an outsider, and I will leave Calimport soon.
If you need to find yourself a master, isn't Apker a better choice?
At least he is the leader of the Thieves Guild, and he is also quite powerful."
"Because you are the only one who doesn't show contempt or disgust towards us.
They even gave us food.
Although Chief Aipke is a worthy leader, he will never treat us as human beings."
Vangels gave his answer without thinking.
Forced to become the leader of the clan, she knew very well that with the state of herself and these underage werewolves, it would be impossible to survive a month in Calimport without the protection of a strong enough and kind master.
In fact, if they had not been lucky enough to get some food today, the two youngest children would most likely not have seen the sun tomorrow morning.
As for stealing and robbing...
Please!
This is Calimport, a city full of thieves’ guilds!
Almost every street has a corresponding gang responsible for management.
Stealing under their noses?
The lightest punishment is to chop off a few fingers!
The more serious ones are to be beaten to death on the spot!
Only internal members of the Thieves Guild are qualified to engage in robbery, theft, smuggling and other businesses.
What's more, lycanthropes themselves have no human rights.
The other party's attacks will only be more brutal than those against ordinary thieves.
Seeing that this werewolf girl who was dirty and even filled with the unique smell of sewers identified herself, Zuo Si, who happened to want to study lycanthropy, no longer hesitated and nodded lightly: "Okay, then let's do it
Try to get along for a while first.
But the ugly words are ahead.
You must obey my orders.
Don't hurt anyone without permission.
Not to mention spreading lycanthropy."
"No problem! You are the master, and we will naturally obey every order you give." Fangus agreed without hesitation.
"Then it's settled. Come on, I'll give you a magic mark first. This way you don't have to worry about being driven away or killed when you walk in the streets."
As he spoke, the middle finger and index finger of Zuo Si's right hand began to flash with dark blue arcane aura.
The werewolf girl who had been waiting for this moment for a long time without saying a word, directly tore open the collar of her tattered top, revealing her skinny chest like ribs.
The next second...
The fingers shining with arcane aura gently touched the spot between her two collarbones.
Instantly!
A human hand holding a card suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Obviously, this is the [secret mark] in zero-ring magic.
Just like the name, this spell can carve visible or invisible personal marks and patterns anywhere.
The pattern of the hand holding the card is Zuo Si's own secret mark that he temporarily came up with.
The card represents the planeswalker, and the hand represents himself.
The werewolf girl lowered her head and looked at the secret mark on her chest, and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
Because she knew that with this, she could lead her clan to survive without having to worry about starving to death or being beaten to death.
As for the remaining little werewolves, since Zuo Si only memorized one [Secret Mark] today, he can only wait until he prepares again tomorrow.
After finishing all this, he immediately threw a few more gold coins to Pike, the hotel attendant beside him, and ordered without looking back: "Take them to take a bath, brush their teeth, eat, buy some clean clothes, and change shoes and socks."
Up."
"As you wish!"
Parker happily took the gold coins and led the werewolves towards the bathhouse behind the hotel.
Although it is not a good job to bathe a werewolf child who smells like sewer.
Because it is very possible to be accidentally scratched or bitten by these cubs and contract lycanthropy.
But considering that after buying them a set of ordinary clothes and shoes and socks, there should be a lot leftover, Parker is very motivated.

When all these people left, the soldier asked in an uncertain tone: "Master, is it really a wise choice for you to accept these dangerous little werewolves? You must know that once they are dominated by animal nature, they will immediately transform into
A madman who cannot tell the difference between friend and foe."
"Don't worry, I know the dangers of werewolves.
But don’t you think that solving the problem of lycanthropy, which causes people to become more and more like beasts, is an interesting challenge?
In my opinion, lycanthropes are actually a very potential research object.
If you get rid of the trouble of being easily affected by animal nature, you will become a perfect warrior and hunter.
In addition, if you don't take care of those little werewolves today, they will soon die in an alley or sewer in Calimport.
If you don't encounter something like this, you can probably pretend that nothing happened.
But if you still turn a blind eye after encountering it, it means losing the most basic humanity.
After all, even many animals will help raise cubs of the same kind that have lost their parents, not to mention us humans who have established civilization, society, morals, and values.
I have witnessed the death of many innocent people with cold eyes, but I have no choice but to kill in order to survive, and I remain vigilant and suspicious of everyone around me.
But now, I plan to give them a chance, and at the same time give myself a chance to regain trust between people.
If these little werewolves grow up as described in the rumors, they will turn into bloodthirsty and cruel lunatics.
Then I will kill them with my own hands and take responsibility for the choices I made today."
After saying this, Zuo Si raised his head and glanced at the bright starry sky above his head, with a faint smile on his face, and then walked straight to his room upstairs.
It's getting very late.
As a spellcaster, he must maintain at least eight hours of adequate sleep every day.
Otherwise, there is no way to restore energy and magic power.
