Chapter 180: The Four Pillars Cult!

As Ashe woke up, he saw Harvey and Igor eating sandwiches.

Arent you afraid theyre poisoned?

Then Ill just take

What I mean is, you should have woken me up to test them for poison. Ashe quickly grabbed the last sandwich and licked it to claim ownership, eliciting a look of disgust from Igor.

How long did we sleep?

Ashe checked the game interface, Its 2 a.m. now; we slept for less than an hour.

Igor murmured, That means well have to stay here the whole day

Why?

If there were only a 6-hour drive left, there would be no need to provide food. Were injured and sleep-deprived. If we stopped eating for another day, theres a risk of sudden death, so they made sure to provide us with food.

The sandwiches were far from filling and only made Ashe hungrier. He knocked on the padded wall, morosely saying, Does this mean were going back to Prison? Im starting to doubt if the title of the Sorcerer Handbook will be The Masses Prison Review after I die

Going to Prison would be a good outcome, Igor said solemnly. What Im really afraid of is if they have a Slave society, where Sorcerers are the Slave masters, and all common people are slaves to Sorcerers. Coupled with the technological system of Sorcerers, they could force a Slave society into a modern developed Kingdom

Harvey inquired, Isnt being a Slave better than being a Prisoner?

Not at all. The biggest problem with a Slave society is that its ruled by men, not laws. When a Conflict arises, the first thought of Slave owners isnt to solve the problem but to eliminate the person causing it. They have a penchant for violence, place extreme importance on blood relations, are very exclusionary and discriminatory against outsiders, and everyones social status is assigned from the day they are born with absolutely no class mobility. Igor spoke with aversion, Even some feudal superstitions are better than a Slave system.

Harvey chuckled, Then it seems weve fled from the Blood Moon Kingdom to an even worse Kingdom. Sigh, when I think about it, the Blood Moon Kingdom wasnt that bad. If the Church had allowed commoners to study Necromancy, I probably wouldnt have bothered to run away. Sadly, I didnt have the chance to go to school initially, and later couldnt get into graduate school to become part of the sacred bloodline, which meant I had no right to learn Necromancy

Its not necessarily a Slave society, Ashe suggested, his tongue flicking out to lick the water inside the bottle. Maybe this is a Civilized Kingdom thats even more advanced than the Blood Moon Kingdom and doesnt view refugees from other countries as enemies

What Civilized Kingdom produces professional prison wagons like this? Igor patted the padded rear wall. Harvey, if you were to transport someone youve captured, how would you do it?

Why are you asking me?

Dont you know?

Well, I do know Harvey mumbled. I have a friend, really just a friend. If it were me, Id turn the person into a Corpse and have them run back on their own But that friend usually uses drugs and an Auxiliary Spirit to hypnotize the target into unconsciousness, ties them up, and throws them into a van to transport them.

Would there be a company in the Blood Moon that makes these kinds of carriages?This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Impossible. The closest thing might be a camper, but the business of binding people is considered a lower-value sector in our society; theres no way they would custom-build carriages for such a minor business.

Igor looked at Ashe. So, Cult Leader, do you understand? Anyone who has these kinds of carriages is likely a special Occupation, mainly involved in capturing peopleprobably a Slave Catcher Squad. If theres a Slave Catcher Squad, then it naturally follows that theres a system of Slavery

Wait a minute, Ashe raised his hand to ask. Couldnt it be human traffickers?

A sex Slave is still a type of Slave

Even within the same language, different cities can lead to different accents, so it was normal for them to have one. But they had transmigrated to another kingdom, and yet the basic language was still the same?

Stepping out of the carriage, they were greeted by a sky half-filled with a setting sun and half with stars, and what looked like an abandoned industrial parka rare sight in the Blood Moon Kingdom, where the Blood Moon always hurried to announce its presence before the sun had set.

As they had expected, the vehicle that transported them seemed quite advanced, entirely silver-white. Although it still had four wheels, the tires surprisingly lacked the Pattern Lines that increase friction for anti-slip purposes; it seemed as if a single brake could lead to a drift of several meters, completely beyond their understanding of driving, looking more like a concept car from a fantasy.

This was a kingdom where Sorcerer technology was highly advanced, at least more so than in the Blood Moon Kingdom.

This was the conclusion all three came to upon seeing the vehicle that represented the pinnacle of industrial production.

These three are the People from the Exotic Lands you requested. You can check them with the Gospel, said the voice.

Standing in front of Ashe were two unremarkable individuals: a youthful-looking Butler and a beautiful girl with purple hair and green eyes.

The latter was holding a luxurious orange velvet folding fan and dressed in a purple coat. Ashes immediate thought upon seeing her was of a phrase often seen in tabloid news: She outshone everyone!

Ashe instinctively glanced at Igorthe girls beauty was a match for Igors!

Moreover, because Ashe was more familiar with Igor, theres a saying that the grass is always greener on the other side, so the unfamiliar girls attractiveness gained extra points in Ashes mind, thoroughly surpassing Igor.

From Ashes account, these two hardly seemed ordinary. However, in comparison to another group, they indeed appeared quite commonsix sinister figures in black robes were glaring ominously at Ashe and his companions.

The People from the Exotic Lands are confirmed, the leader of the Black Robe Men nodded. No time to delay; lets proceed with the trade.

The young Butler stepped forward, presenting three controller-like keys, while the Black Robe Man produced a box. Harvey lowered his eyelids, as if readying for action.

But they all refrained from any sudden moves until the transaction was complete.

This was because the Purple-clad Girl was smiling at them the entire time.

Ashes Beast Intuition was triggered, indicating that the Purple-clad Girl was even more of a beast than he was, to the extent that his subconscious began to fear her.

The Butler handed the box to the Purple-clad Girl, who opened it to reveal an octahedral amethyst. The amethyst seemed to have an inner light source, emitting a warm and inviting glow that made the Purple-clad Girl look even more dazzling. Her beauty skyrocketed, overwhelming Igor by a large margin.

The trade is complete, said the Purple-clad Girl and the Butler, making way. Now, these three are in the hands of the Four Pillars Cult.

The Four Pillars Cult?

The Four Pillars Cult!

Harvey and Igor instantly turned their heads to stare at Ashe, who was equally stunnedhe had indeed heard the term Four Pillars Cult in his half-asleep state before, but the speaker had a heavy accent, and he was groggy, so he thought he had misheard.

Before Ashe could gather his wits, the Black Robe Mans sleeves unleashed dozens of chains that tightly bound the trio and stuffed them into prepared Body Bags, tossing them into their vehicle.

He then turned to the Purple-clad Girl and said, Well head back to commence the Ritual. Lets hope for future collaborations, Funeral Firm.

The Purple-clad Girl gave a slight nod: Ranked number nine on Azuras Quest Ranking, the Funeral Firm is always ready for your commission.
