Chapter 68 – Chapter 68 the King of Slaves-5
Basement room.
A bed, bookshelves, and a table that doubled as a dining table were all the furniture.
With over a billion dollars in his hand, it was quite modest for a barracks ruler, but the amount of light was different.
Even though it is night, it is as bright as day.
Because the two magic lamps are emitting light.
The magic lamp itself is a common item, but something this bright is quite rare.
Leticia was surprised to see, said the underground.
“Grade 1 lamps, 30 million each. It’s convenient to read a book before going to bed.”
It provides brighter light than fluorescent lamps, but 30 million?
It sounds like a ripoff, but considering the civilization of Wordsland, it was natural.
Leticia, who was internally surprised by the use of a human she despised as a common, quickly corrected her expression.
“You look like a black-eyed person. Elves have good night vision, so they don’t need to be so bright.”
Jiha, who did not answer, sat down in front of the table and pointed to the other side.
“Sit down.”
“There are no chairs, so sit on the bare floor?”
“You put the sheets down. There are many demands.”
Leticia had a very displeased face, but she sat with her legs aside without hesitation.
Leticia, rubbing the edge of her sheet with her finger as if it were absolutely filthy, looked back at her basement and hesitated.
“What are you staring at?”
“Then shall we talk while looking at the wall? It’s just me and you.”
“…”
Leticia’s face was once again wary.
I couldn’t ignore the underground provocation in front of others, so after I responded, it became a situation where the two of us were talking in an enclosed space.
And she gave me permission to touch her ass following her hug before.
What happened in the middle of the day, this time it doesn’t work.
Leticia cupped her fist with one hand, covering her breasts with the other.
“… I know her head will be smashed if she thinks nonsense.”
As the underground laughed, Leticia became furious.
“You know I can’t? The situation has come to this point anyway, so what does it matter if you’re a common Blue Seal?”
The reason underground laughed was that Leticia was too withdrawn.
If the underground had been in Leticia’s shoes, she would have started by crushing her opponent’s skull.
Can’t talk when her head is broken? Then, even if you buy it, break it up.
‘I must be quite frightened…’
While Leticia made excuses for this and that, she was reluctant to confront the underground.
She thought she wasn’t an excuse, she had a reason, but she seemed to the underground to be self-justifying.
“Yeah, that was a mistake. Don’t make up your mind.”
When Leticia tried to pretend to be strong, she brought up the main topic of the basement.
“Let’s get to the point. How are you going to fix this?”
“Now you’ve killed all the elves and you’re talking about probation?”
“You elves killed five normal level guards.”
Leticia paused when the basement pointed out.
“That’s normal…”
“Shall we stop talking and just go to war?”
“…”
At the words of the underground, Leticia became quiet.
This conversation was a place to somehow prevent the situation from escalating into a war.
“… I know there are deaths from Blue Seals. But what should I do? Thirty elves died?”
“I have to make the elves put up with it.”
Leticia was dumbfounded, but Jiha was sincere.
“In the first place, the current situation is that you guys invaded the barracks, killed the guards and commons, and then were counterattacked and annihilated. Then who has the primary responsibility?”
“That’s because you guys won’t give that kobold…”
“Do you come in for that?”
Leticia had nothing to say.
In fact, Leticia also followed the instructions from the underground and gave the information to the Galak gang, but she did not know that they were even planning an attack on the barracks.
If successful, the reputation of the individual Galak may have increased, but the war clouds would have been thicker.
I did something crazy to blow up my name, but it completely failed and became a major accident.
The primary responsibility for this situation will be borne by Leticia, a unique elf in Warris.
“Well, let me point you to a more peaceful solution.”
“… What is that?”
“If you nag at the council or anything, they will step on your feet. If you don’t listen, beat me until you listen.”
Leticia was frightened.
“What’s wrong with that, it’s vulgar…”
“Or shall we go to war?”
“…”
She explained the circumstances of her basement, which blocked Leticia’s refutation.
“You know what the singularity of the situation is? They say that all the people who came and died were elves. Purple Liberation is not just a group of elves, but a community of various races, right? Of course, there will be conflicts between tribes and struggles for leadership within the country as well.”
“…”
Just like Yura and Enlil are opposing factions.
Leticia’s face was in agreement with her underground words.
“Elf Council, of course, since the young elves are dead, we must go to war right away. You’ll be foaming at the mouth saying you have to teach the blue seals. But what about the other races of Purple? There must be a lot of races who think we should take this opportunity to defeat the troublesome race of elves, right?”
“… The dwarves will do that right away.”
Leticia had a disgusted face.
She laughed underground.
“Even within Purple, there are races that hate elves. Use that to take down the elves.”
“… Are you telling me to turn my back on my people?”
Leticia showed signs of reluctance.
She changed her expression a bit.
“No, to save my own people. Elves who are swayed by the anachronistic council of elves have no future.”
“…”
Leticia’s face was stabbed in a painful corner.
She said, ‘She is a successful career woman at work, but at home she is the eldest daughter who is treated less well than her youngest son. She has to be angry, but she has no one on her side, so she is patient, but deep down she is dissatisfied.’
The difference between her treatment inside and outside, that was the contradiction between her and Leticia.
The basement wedged.
“At this rate, even if there is no full-scale war, the elves will continue to clash, and the position of the elves in Purple will be very narrow. If you’ve been through this and that as a unique rank, you can guess enough, right?”
“…”
Leticia was speechless for a while and let out a sigh.
She nodded and looked straight down her basement.
“Okay. What should I do specifically?”
“From here on, it’s a fee.”
“… Pay me?”
Underground laughed.
“Common will reveal the money? Legally, I can’t even own real estate.”
“Then what…”
“Be my slave.”
If you use Leticia, you can exert influence on the purple faction.
Totally get it today.
Leticia blankly blinked her eyes, then her face flushed.
With anger.
The basement said calmly.
“Didn’t I tell you from the first time we met? If you’re going to enslave others, prove her worth. But now I am proving my qualifications”.
“Have you messed around with the human subject? Right now…”
Purple magic formed on Leticia’s fist, but she ignored it underground.
What’s so scary about a frightened wildcat barking?
“Knock me down, what next? How are you going to fix this tomorrow morning?”
“…”
Leticia, who was about to throw her fist out, hesitated.
“The elves would foam at the mouth and stir-fry you for having to avenge your own people? Even the blue seals that were attacked at night will have their eyes turned upside down. Do you, the person in charge, bow your head to Enlil and ask him to stop the war, please?”
“I’m crazy?”
Even in the middle of this, Leticia was furious when the story of Enlil came out.
I’d rather bite my tongue.
“If the elves continue to rampage and cause accidents, their position in Purple will get worse and worse. If that happens over and over again, Purple might even throw out the elf race itself.”
“What nonsense is that? That would be possible…”
“Blue and Purple are a union of races. If the races that hate elves unite within Purple, it would be possible to form public opinion?”
“…”
Leticia bit her lip.
“… Even if it were, why should I be your slave? I could kill you right now!”
“If you really think so, do it.”
“…”
“Hurry.”
Leticia’s fists still held her magic power, but her right index finger flicked under her feet.
She was a defenseless provocation, but Leticia couldn’t attack.
She was frightened by her underworld, and the word that the future of her species was at stake held her back.
Then, on her left hand, which lay on her floor and was covered by her table and invisible to Leticia, her left hand had magical energy.
To be able to respond right away in case of emergency.
“…”
Leticia, who had been glaring at her basement while wheezing for a while, released her fist.
“… How can I believe what you say You promised to get rid of my engagement before, and then you tried to get away with it.”
“Parmin is over, and you took care of the galak that I will rub on you next time, right?”
Leticia’s face hardened.
“… What do you mean now? Could it be that you even killed Galak because of the promise you made with me?”
“If not, why would it be?”
It wasn’t just for that.
At her subterranean reply, Leticia couldn’t hide her terrified face.
She struggled to be snarky, but her subterranean way of thinking was enough to frighten her all over again.
“Dae, what the hell are you doing? Are you planning on killing all the male elves who could be my fiancée?”
“Look at what you are doing.”
Better to let them misunderstand.
Leticia was silent for a while as her face went white.
The basement deliberately lazily looked only at her wall.
In a situation like this, avoiding her gaze would have the effect of letting Leticia shrink on her own.
“… No.”
Leticia concluded.
She stared down her basement with her angry eyes.
“I can’t trust you, and I have no intention of becoming a slave to a lowly human being. I’m Jormun’s successor, and I’m unique. I won’t bow my head to humans!”
“Would you like to take care of the aftermath?”
“… But circumstances are circumstances.”
Leticia bit her lower lip to endure her humiliation.
“If you solve this situation, if you keep your promises, I really hate it, but… I’m going to consider it a little bit positively.”
“…”
You don’t know who’s in charge?
The basement was dumbfounded, but Leticia was just making her cheeky face.
As if she had to admit that she had conceded a lot.
‘It’s not like Enlil…’
Enlil was at least sensitive above and below.
But while Leticia is afraid of her underground, she lashes out.
Even though she knows that if she really fights, she won’t be able to defeat the underground.
“I guess I’ll have to tame it.”
“Now who dares…”
She took out the sword that Jihaha had hidden behind her back.
Leticia’s face turned pale.
It’s not because I’m afraid of blades, it’s because I’m used to it.
“You, and that…”
It was the underground sword that Leticia had killed her own people.
It is also evidence that the underground and she manipulated the case with her hand.
‘Well, fingerprint investigations would be impossible in Wordsland anyway, but…’
This sword itself was a psychological pressure on Leticia.
Because the underground reminds her that when she opens her mouth, she may be doomed.
“I understand what you mean, but I will take the down payment.”
Leticia’s neck, tense, moved up and down her.
“I promise on the honor of the elves…”
“Do you think that works for the person who fought the elves today?”
Jiha sluggishly thrust her sword forward.
It was a very slow motion, like a handing over a sword, but Leticia just watched without moving.
Even if the basement tries to stab you, you just have to defend it with magic at that moment.
No, such a slow motion could not have been an attack in the first place.
The underground sword stopped in front of Leticia’s collar.
“… What, what is it?”
With her sword in front of her, Leticia couldn’t hide her tension.
No matter how sharp her blade is, she can’t properly pierce her skin, which has already strengthened her body with her magical powers.
But the underground must know that well, right?
Having counted that far, Leticia suddenly gets goosebumps… Jiha lowered her sword without hesitation.
The sound of fabric being cut.
“… Ah.”
The skin was not cut, only the clothes and white bra were neatly cut.
Leticia’s face, revealing her pure white flesh, quickly covered it with her arm.
“Kyaaaaa!!”
Her shriek was so feeble that it was hard to believe that it was Leticia who used to be strong.
She could never have imagined in her head that a man would do such a thing.
“Uh, what are you doing…”
Leticia covered her body with her arms and completely recoiled.
Her spirited face from a while ago had completely disappeared.
She was afraid of what was to come.
“How long are you going to pretend to be strong, elf woman?”
With her sword retracted, Jiha raised her body.
“I’ll let you know how scary human men are.”
To correct her habit.
