"Sir Soth! Abandoned people are indeed not protected by the law in Port Calim.

But if they become someone's slaves, they will automatically be upgraded from abandoned people to the master's property.

But the property and servants of masters are protected by law.”

When the hotel waiter Pike saw Zuo Si standing there for a long time without any reaction, he hurried forward and whispered the secret.

After all, on weekdays, he often received generous tips from this young but very generous and distinguished guest.

Therefore, we are happy to provide the other party with local customs and knowledge that they are not aware of in exchange for some extra rewards.

"You mean... for the abandoned people, being able to become a slave is not a bad thing, but it actually improves their status in society in disguise?"

Zuo Si seemed to understand something, but he was still stunned. He couldn't believe that such a strange thing could happen in the world.

It turns out that in Calimport, being a slave is not the worst and lowest social status.

Below them is another class of beastmen called "Abandoned People".

These guys who spread lycanthropy and lose control and transform into wild beasts on full-moon nights are not even qualified to be slaves.

Because what slave owners need is a group of obedient slaves, not a group of mad dogs that will bite their masters.

Pike answered seriously, "That's right! As long as they are branded with the mark of slavery, others will carefully consider the possible retaliation when they want to drive them away or even kill them.

Especially a powerful spellcaster like you who can have an equal dialogue with Chief Apke, ordinary people will not easily provoke you. "

"Okay, I think I understand. Thank you for your explanation." Zuo Si took out a gold coin and threw it to the other party.

The latter immediately caught it skillfully, and kept bowing and thanking with a smile on his face, and all kinds of nice words like "kind", "generous", and "noble" kept coming out of his mouth.

However, Zuo Si ignored this boring flattery, but looked at the girl kneeling in front of him and asked: "Why me? You know, I am just an outsider and will leave Kalin Port soon.

If you need to find a master for yourself, wouldn't Apke be a better choice? At least he is the leader of the Thieves Guild and is quite powerful. "

"Because you are the only one who didn't look at us with contempt or disgust.

Even gave us food.

Although Chief Aipke is a worthy superior, he will never treat us as human beings. "

Fangs gave his answer without hesitation.

Forced to become the clan leader, she knew very well that given her and these underage werewolves' condition, it would be impossible for them to survive more than a month in Calin Port without the protection of a sufficiently powerful and kind master.

In fact, if they had not been lucky enough to get some food today, the two youngest children would probably not see the sun tomorrow morning.

As for stealing and robbing...

Please!

This is Calim Port, where thieves guilds abound!

Almost every street has a corresponding small gang in charge of management.

Stealing things right under their noses? The lightest punishment would be to chop off a few fingers! The more serious punishment would be beating to death on the spot!

Only the members of the Thieves Guild are qualified to engage in robbery, theft, smuggling and other activities.

What's more, beastmen themselves have no human rights.

The other party will be more brutal than an ordinary thief.

Seeing that this werewolf girl, who was dirty all over and even smelled like a sewer, had chosen him, Zuo Si, who just wanted to study the beast transformation, stopped refusing and nodded gently: "Okay, then let's try to get along for a while.

But let me be frank with you.

You must obey the orders I give.

No harm is allowed without permission.

You are not allowed to spread lycanthropy."

"No problem! You are the master, we will naturally obey every order you give." Fangs agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's settled. Come, I'll give you a magic mark first. This way, you won't have to worry about being driven away or killed when you walk in the streets."

The werewolf girl, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, tore open the collar of her tattered shirt without saying a word, revealing her skinny chest that looked like a piece of bone.

The next second...

Fingers flashing with arcane light gently touched the area between her collarbones.

moment!

An image of a human hand holding a card suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Obviously, this is the [Mystical Seal] in Zero Ring Magic.

Just as the name suggests, this spell can carve personal marks or patterns that are visible or invisible to the naked eye anywhere.

The pattern of the hand holding the card was a secret mark that Zuo Si came up with on the spur of the moment.

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 would be able to lead the 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 tomorrow to prepare again.

After doing all this, he immediately threw a few more gold coins to the hotel waiter Pike beside him, and without turning his head, he ordered: "Take them to take a bath, brush their teeth, eat, and buy some clean clothes, shoes and socks to change into."

"As you wish!"

Pike happily took the gold coins and led the little werewolves towards the bathhouse at the back of the inn.

Although bathing a werewolf child that stinks of sewers is not a pleasant task.

Because there is a high possibility that you will be accidentally scratched or bitten by these little cubs and infected with beastiality.

But considering that after buying them a set of ordinary clothes and shoes and socks, there should be a lot left, Parker was very motivated.

After all these people left, the soldier asked in an uncertain tone: "Master, is it a wise choice for you to accept these dangerous little werewolves? You must know that once they are dominated by their animal nature, they will immediately turn into lunatics who cannot distinguish between friend and foe."

“Don’t worry, I know how dangerous werewolves are.

But don’t you think it’s an interesting challenge to solve the problem of lycanthropy, which makes people more and more like beasts?

In my opinion, lycanthropes are actually a very promising research subject.

If he could solve the problem of being easily influenced by animal nature, he would be a perfect warrior and hunter.

Besides, if we didn't take care of the little werewolves today, they would soon die in some alley or sewer in Calimport.

If something like this hadn't happened, you could probably just pretend nothing had 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 their own cubs who have lost their parents, let alone us humans who have established civilization, society, morals, and values.

I have witnessed the deaths of many innocent people, and I had to kill in order to survive. I remained vigilant and suspicious of everyone around me.

But now, I plan to give them a chance, and also give myself a chance to regain trust between people.

If these little werewolves grow up as described in the rumors, they will become bloodthirsty and brutal lunatics.

Then I will kill them myself and take responsibility for the choice I made today."

After saying this, Zuo Si raised his head and glanced at the bright starry sky above his head. A faint smile appeared on his face, and then he walked straight to his room upstairs.

It's getting very late.

As a spellcaster, he must get at least eight hours of sleep every day.

Otherwise, there is no way to recover your energy and magic power.
