Chen Hao's eyes darted around, and he stammered as he spoke, looking as if he was having difficulty speaking.

“Slaves? Kyal, as a hero, how can you buy slaves? Don’t you feel sorry for them? They’ve left their homeland and lost their freedom. They’re already in such a miserable state, and you still want to use them and force them.”

Freya, looking slightly angry, questioned him indignantly:

Don't you have any compassion at all?

"Um... well, let me explain, Freya."

Chen Hao looked slightly embarrassed, but still tried to explain himself:

“I didn’t force them; they all volunteered. I didn’t make them do any work, and I didn’t mistreat them either.”

"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience."

Chen Hao looked at Freya, who was still fuming, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What are you pretending to sympathize with the demi-humans for? You don't even treat demi-humans as human beings. At least other people treat demi-humans as animals and order them around. You treat demi-humans as experience packs to level up. You treat demi-humans as objects.

"Um... Freya, speaking of which, what brings you to Lanarita?"

Chen Hao asked with some curiosity.

“I came here specifically to find you, Kyal.”

When serious matters were brought up, Freya's expression also became serious.

"Looking for me? Is there another wounded soldier who needs my treatment?"

Faced with Chen Hao's question, Freya shook her head and asked in return:

"The strange illness that started to break out on a large scale in Lanalita a few days ago, Kyal, you've been here for a while now, you should be aware of it, right?"

"Yes, I understand."

Chen Hao's expression also became more serious.

"The reason I came to you is to ask you to save this city, cure all the patients with the strange disease in Lanari Tower, and eradicate the disease."

Freya's words startled Chen Hao slightly.

So you just came here to give me experience points?
