Chapter 26: The Cyclops King
Chapter 26: The Cyclops King
“Damn, how did you do this?” The Old Mage immediately said in surprise, “Originally I was worried your monster body couldn’t find a woman, but now it seems there is no need to worry at all. This is exactly the same as a normal person!”
“Hehe!” Old Xie explained with a smile, “This is my improved Druid Transformation Art. Just make do with it. How about it, with this thing, even if this kid goes around saying I am a monster, I am not afraid of confrontation!”
“Haha!” The Old Mage laughed loudly, “Good, good, then I will make him your slave! It is also right to punish this bastard properly!”
“Alright then.” Old Xie agreed, flew up and kicked Pars awake, and then said to the still groggy him, “Kid, tell me, do you want to live or die?”
Hearing this, Pars hurriedly said, “I want to live, I want to live!”
“If you want to live, you have to be my slave!” Old Xie stared at him and said, “Otherwise, I will directly destroy you!”
“This~” Pars was immediately in a dilemma when he heard he had to be a slave. He hurriedly said to the Old Mage, “Teacher, please save me!”
“Less nonsense!” The Old Mage said angrily, “This is saving you. Otherwise, with what you have done, I wouldn’t be satisfied killing you a hundred times!”
“Ah~” Pars was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this.
“Kid, just give up now!” Old Xie said with a wicked smile, “There are only two paths in front of you. Either die, or be a slave. My patience has a limit. Give me an answer quickly?”
“This, can we discuss it?” Pars hurriedly asked.
“No discussion!” Old Xie put on a stern face, then said angrily, “I see you don’t want to live. Fine, I will send you on your way!” After saying that, he raised his hand to kill him.
Seeing this, Pars was scared and hurriedly said, “I am willing to be a slave, don’t kill me!”
“Hmph, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!” Old Xie looked at him with disdain, then said, “What are you still standing for? Swear, sign the slave contract! Do I need to teach you this?” Saying that, he acted like he was going to hit him again.
Scared, Pars hurriedly shouted, “I will swear, I will swear, alright?”
Next, under Old Xie’s threat, Pars swore allegiance to Old Xie using a Magic contract. From then on, he became Old Xie’s slave.
After swearing, Pars’ mood was very depressed. After all, going from a Mage respected by everyone to a slave, this change in status was too fast, and he was naturally very unaccustomed.
Seeing this, the Old Mage felt a bit unbearable in his heart, so he comforted him, “Alright, stop putting on an act. Being the first slave for the direct heir of my Stephen Family, you aren’t losing out too much, right?”
“What?” Pars was greatly shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, “Could it be that he is Young Master Little Stephen? Strange, although I haven’t seen him for several years, I still remember Little Stephen’s appearance? Especially, hmm?”
At this time, Pars suddenly discovered in surprise that Old Xie, who originally had four arms and a tail, had completely turned into the appearance of a normal human. He had no tail, and only two fair and slender arms were exposed. At this time, Old Xie appeared gentle and elegant, with a Noble demeanor, completely different from the extremely fierce and murderous look just now.
“What are you looking at?” Old Xie glared at him angrily and said, “Remember this, from now on, forget what needs to be forgotten. Once I find out you dare to talk nonsense, humph, just look at those guys around you, and you will know your own end!”
“Yes, yes, I don’t know anything!” Pars was scared and hurriedly shouted.
“Very good, as long as you understand!” Old Xie nodded, then said to the Old Mage, “This place is not bad. Just the circle of buildings around the square is enough to accommodate thousands of people! Now go call my Underlings over.”
“What about them?” The Old Mage pointed to the Cyclops all over the ground.
“Let’s wake them up after we tidy up. I think perhaps in an atmosphere with wine and meat, everyone can get along friendly!” Old Xie said with a wicked smile.
“Hmm, that makes sense!” The Old Mage obviously saw through Old Xie’s plan. His eyes immediately lit up, and he agreed, “I will send them over right away, and also bring some good wine and meat. We must treat these guests well!”
“Haha!” The two evil guys then looked at each other and laughed together, making Pars on the side a bit confused, not understanding what they were laughing at.
The following things were simple. With the help of the Old Mage, Imps, Savage Bulls, Wyverns, and Demon Explosive Spiders were transported over in batches. Along with them came a large amount of grain, meat, and dozens of barrels of fine wine. Obviously, the Old Mage went all out this time; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken out so much wine. One had to know, in this Continent where food was scarce, wine was a very luxurious drink.
Watching the originally empty square quickly become lively again, Pars felt like he was dreaming. Fierce Magical Beasts that were rarely seen at ordinary times were now as obedient as children. Under the command of a group of weak Imps, they actually started the work of cleaning up corpses.
The Imps first swarmed up and stripped all the equipment and clothes from the corpses, not even leaving the last pair of underwear. Then, the naked corpses were dragged aside and piled up by the Savage Bull King and Wyvern King. The Demon Explosive Spiders excitedly wrapped the piled-up corpses with spider silk and then pulled them into the depths of the dense forest, obviously treating them as reserve food.
After the corpses were cleaned up, the Imps used the pots and tableware left by the slave-catching team to start making dinner. At the same time, a large amount of meat was brought up, and the barbecue began. The Savage Bull King and Wyvern, who had finished their work, honestly gathered in the buildings assigned to them, waiting for the Imps to bring them tender roasted meat.
Seeing everything in such an orderly fashion, Pars felt his mind became a bit confused; when did the Savage Bull Kings and Wyvern Kings become so obedient? Especially the Demon Explosive Spider, this kind of fierce magical beast was always famous for its brutality; she would kill almost anything she saw, but today was strange, that fellow actually ignored the Imps walking around everywhere and just honestly took some corpses, what on earth was going on?
Before Pars could wake up from the shock brought by all this, Old Xie over there said impatiently: “Pars, what are you standing there in a daze for? Get your butt over here!”
“Yes, yes!” Seeing his master get angry, Pars was so scared that he hurriedly ran over and said, “Master, what are your instructions?”
“I ask you, among these Cyclops, which one is the leader?” Old Xie asked.
“That one!” Pars immediately pointed at a particularly robust fellow and said: “He is the leader of this tribe, and he is even a Cyclops King!”
“Nonsense!” The Old Mage immediately glared and said angrily: “A Cyclops King appears once in a thousand miles, every single one is a treasure of the Beast Race, and they all have Golden Battle Armor issued by the Beast King personally, that is a symbol of honor that is never separated from the body, he doesn’t have that on him!”
“Of course he has one, it’s just that we, uh, took it off him!” Pars said weakly.
“You bastards!” The Old Mage cursed angrily: “Don’t you know what the Golden Battle Armor means to a Cyclops King? It is a symbol of their honor and life. Even if they lose the Golden Battle Armor on the battlefield, they will all commit suicide out of shame and anger! How can you humiliate a powerful warrior, a hero like this!”
On this Continent where power is supreme, everyone respects the strong, and the Old Mage was no exception, so he was so annoyed.
