Chapter 74 – BAD TASTE(4)
“They are such pitiful people.”
“Sorry, Chief Priest. I’ll make sure to educate you later.”
The lord of Aberdeen promised me to educate the sister very clearly. I hoped that the sister would survive the rigorous education and survive. Because she’s kind of sorry if she dies enough to scream at me. Didn’t she say that in her life there would always be sunny days? Surely they too will have a chance to find a new life.
We passed the human cages and reached the halfway point between the human slave cages and the prisoner slave cages. Elsie was standing there. Elsie. She greeted us with sharp raised eyes, tight lips, and hot pants that exposed her belly. Hard abs, tanned skin, pricked cat ears, and short black hair.
It was the epitome of a idioty-looking cat thief. I checked Elsie’s status window.

“Elsie. I am a guest to you.”
“Guests? I don’t know. I have no such thing as human guests.”
I asked the lord of Aberdeen to vacate my seat. With those stats, it wasn’t a level that I couldn’t beat. Swordplay is a useful stat only when there are a lot of players on my side, and in this situation, I could unilaterally beat Elsie.
Said the lord of Aberdeen.
“Then talk moderately and come out. Elsie. You’re an honored guest, so be careful not to get hurt.”
“I know when I see it. And, this person is stronger than me. Just like you.”
While I remembered, I checked the stats of Lord Aberdeen.

It’s more awesome than I thought. After all, you have to be at that level to be incompetent against beasts. As I gazed at the back of Lord Aberdeen with admiration, Elsie spoke to me again. It was a blunt, restrained voice.
“So priest. What’s the matter? I don’t know anyone like you.”
I took out the heart necklace that Amori had and showed it to me. When Elsie looked at the necklace, she gave a very subtle look and asked me back.
“Why do you show me the necklace of the Sarang cult?”
“Love school?”
“Don’t you know? I thought a priest would know, but it’s a religion that calls for the liberation of slaves. It liberates prisoners like us from slave hunters and returns them to their hometowns or makes them their followers.”
“Is there such a religion?”
It was the first time I heard it. It seemed that this religion was only famous in the eastern provinces. Daecheonsingyo basically did not interfere much with other religious activities, so there was one such small religious group in each province.
“Yes. There is such a religion. If you are curious about that necklace, have you explained it now? I will go back to work. Priest.”
“Why didn’t you join the Sarang Church?”
“The Church of Love cannot enter the Aberdeen Territory.”
Haha, in the territory with the largest slave market in the East, there was no way that such a thing would be allowed. After hearing it roughly, it didn’t seem like buying and freeing slaves like I did. I thought I was good at not showing the necklace to the Lord of Aberdeen.
“Actually, this necklace was your mother’s.”
“My mother?”
Elsie looked visibly agitated at her mention of her mother her. Prisoners have a very strong sense of family and camaraderie. I couldn’t help but cause emotional agitation at the word family. I said.
“They say her name is Amori…”
“What happened to your mother? Did she join the Church of Love? You are not a priest of the Church of Love, so how do you know my mother? Perhaps you are a Church of Love…”
“Your mother is dead.”
At that, Elsie shut her mouth. She licked her lips and her eyes reddened. As if trying to hold back her tears, she lowered her head and took a deep breath. It seemed that he didn’t want to cry in front of me. She said that for a long while, trembling her shoulders and controlling her emotions her.
“How did she die?”
“I discovered that she had fled to my estate of her. I tried to save Amori somehow, but it was too late. She left me a word asking for you, and she died.”
“Please take care of me?”
Elsie had a puzzled expression. I said.
“I’m here to free you, Armory.”
“I can’t go alone.”
“I know. The children you care about… So I heard you have three friends from the same tribe, and I’ll set them all free.”
“Why do you do that?”
Elsie asked with a puzzled look on her face her. The reason was simple. To eat Elsie. But I couldn’t say that, so I said this.
“Because I made a promise to your mother.”
“My mother and… Got it.”
Elsie nodded her head. Thus, the transaction was accomplished. Basically, the clergy of Archangelism could not buy or sell slaves. So I had to call the head priest of the Eastern Archangelism and get permission for this. Let’s say the head priest wants me to purchase a slave for the purpose of ‘liberation’. He approved the sale on the condition that he be present at the place of purchase and immediately burn the slave trade documents.
With the lord of Aberdeen and the eastern priest attending as notaries, I was able to purchase four slaves, including Elsie, on the condition that I pay the price in my estate. Of course, the slave documents were destroyed immediately upon purchase, and the Lord of Aberdeen was clearly regretful.
Elsie felt awkward as the shackles and chains were removed from her neck. She was looking around her, touching her neck. But the wagging of her tail seemed very pleasing.
“Weird.”
Said the lord of Aberdeen.
“Now, don’t invade our territory anymore.”
“There is no choice but to hunt.”
“If you go around in full swing, wild beasts will come to your territory. And don’t insist that the land of humans is your territory.”
“Humans are strong. Even wild boars can’t be defeated. And that land is our land.”
Lord Everdeen shook her head, then looked at me and said.
“Chief Lucius. If Elsie or the other prisoners here fight with us in the Eastern Plains and are captured as slaves, then we will not release them. Do you understand?”
“All right.”
It didn’t matter anyway. Because I obviously released it as promised. The conflict between beastmen and humans in the eastern plains was a problem that could not be resolved in my ship. There were many things that we had to give up in order to coexist.
“Elsie. So, are you going to return to the Eastern Plains?”
“I do not know.”
Elsie spoke strongly to Lord Everdeen, but she still seemed to be troubled in many ways. As she struggled, one of the prisoners she guarded shouted.
“Elsie-sister is coming back to the plains with us! We’re the marimba tribe!”
Are you in your early 20s now? He was still a young man with a hint of youth. To be honest, it’s like looking at a man in animal ear cosplay from a gay cartoon, and it looks really unpleasant. As soon as I saw him, I unknowingly frowned at him.
“Roy. Quiet.”
Elsie made Roy shut up. Roy was staring back and forth at Elsie and me with a disgruntled face. I don’t know why, but Roy looked very dissatisfied. I proposed to Elsie.
“Do you have no sense of belonging to the tribe?”
“I don’t know. I’ve already lost, and a defeated warrior doesn’t belong to the marimba tribe. To be honest, I don’t know what to look like.”
“If we all go back together, the tribal chief will be happy too! Elsie! Let’s go back!”
Roy called out to Elsie in an urgent tone. It was clear that he was wary of Elsie following me. Every time he screamed, I frowned because my ears hurt. I ignored Roy’s cries and proposed to Elsie.
“Elsie. Then, would you like to come to our territory? Of course, the choice is yours. You may return to the plains as is, but it would be great if you would come to our territory. We will not enslave you, and we will provide you with lodging. Your mother.’S tomb is also on my estate.”
“Elsie! Don’t trust humans! Let’s go to the Marimba tribe!”
Roy shouted again. He didn’t want to hear it because he had a young voice. Have you ever seen a man with cat ears talking in a tantrum? I dare say it was a very unpleasant sight that I saw. Elsie also frowned at her and said.
“Roy. You keep making noise. It’s a little annoying, so be quiet. Priest. Can other prisoners come here?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll vouch for your identity.”
“What about you guys? To be honest, my mother’s grave is also in this priest’s manor, so I want to go there. Even if you go back to your hometown, I won’t stop you, and I think it’s okay if you Follow me.”
All the other prisoners seemed to want to go home. Elsie seemed a little disappointed. Roy was still undecided. He glared at me and said to Elsie.
“Me too! I’m coming too!”
“Are you okay? Roy. You wanted to go home.”
“I must protect Elsie-nuna!”
“I don’t know who is protecting whom.”
Elsie shook her head and said so. I didn’t like the idea of a guy who looked like a Queer Festival participant entering my estate, but I didn’t show it. Rather it wasn’t bad. Because I was confident Even at a glance, Roy was weaker than me, he looked like a gay man, and he was an unlikable guy who acted recklessly.
Watch as your beloved sister is tossed at the hands of a half-elf blonde lord. NTR is bad, but NTL is a matter of taste.
