Chapter 145: The Mining Town of Turmiette

At one point, Bethan whispered the idea of ​​running away, but his parents warned him that even if he did, he would only become food for the monsters in the wilderness. Although he thought this might be true, he still thought that as long as he had the strength, he might let fate decide.

Bethan's parents were rapidly losing weight, and since they gave Bethan his own food, he felt his strength gradually fading.

One day, Bethan saw his father being dragged out of the mine, unable to walk. Bethan ran over, but his father was already dying. As he desperately grabbed his father, his father gradually became indifferent.

His mother never came back. She was said to have collapsed at her workplace and died a few days later. He didn't even see her last moments.

They were forced to sleep together, and crying would bring scolding. Everyone knew that sleep time was precious. They could only bite the blanket tightly to hold back their tears.

Mabel became his only comfort.

Yes, there is one thing he must protect, and that is her existence.

On another day, they were forced to continue carrying ore. But Mabel was in a strange state. She was staggering and unsteady on her feet. He tried to help her, but it was too late, she fell and spilled the ore. The surveillance personnel immediately noticed this.

They yelled at Mabel as she fell to the ground, swinging the sticks they had in their hands. Getting hit with such an object could result in broken bones, or even the worst possible outcome.

"I don't want to go through that again! Let's go!" Bethan thought as he put his body in front of Mabel.

"It's too late this time. I have no regrets." Even when the pain was about to hit, a smile appeared on Bethan's face.

There was a wet thump. But Benson felt no pain. He looked up and saw the monitor's head smashed to the ground, and a pair of ruthless hand gauntlets, with the other end of the gauntlet showing the face of a worried young man.

The young man came over and said, “Are you okay?”

------------

The situation in the countryside is depressing. The villagers have gloomy faces and there are many abandoned houses in the villages. Some villages are even completely abandoned. The farmland is deserted and the people's hearts are even more desolate.

If you accidentally talk to such a person, unnecessary misunderstandings may occur, and intelligence gathering will not proceed smoothly. But this also proves the current situation of the Treba Empire.

The quiet procession continued its march northward in silence.

As we headed southeast from the orc settlement and crossed the border, the mountains in the distance gradually approached. The frequent smoke rising from the mountains indicated that there might be rich mineral veins there.

Considering that there might be some active people there, Ye Kai and his party decided to enter a mining town related to the mine.

“It feels like nothing new.”

Although the streets were bustling with people, there were few smiles. The people on the streets were poorly dressed and working hard, while the people watching them wore gloomy smiles.

Although the latter glanced around, he did not pay too much attention to the fact that they were dressed like adventurers.

“The atmosphere was terrible.”

"Mr. Tullio, isn't that a bit vulgar?"

"Feel sorry……"

Fino could understand the feeling, but even so, if he was accused of hearing it, it could cause trouble.

“I have a bad feeling.”

"That hunch is probably right."

The sparsely populated rural areas. The smoke from the refineries rising from various parts of the mountains. The people being monitored while working. And the equipment issued to the soldiers. From these circumstances, there can only be one conclusion.

“Maybe the problem is at the mine.”

“Shall we go check it out?”

On the mountain road from the mining town to the mining area, you can see men and women pulling carriages full of ore. Many people have reached their limit, and the mountain road is filled with a smell of hunger. For Fino, who has a sensitive sense of smell, it is quite unpleasant.

"It's unlikely that slaves would be used so blatantly, right?"

Cham whispered as he patted Fino's back.

“But I don’t see the sinner. Maybe it’s just a different perspective.”

“Why not set a no-entry rule?”

In this other world, there is no so-called human rights issue. The judgment criteria are mainly based on subjectivity, so it is difficult to say what is fair treatment.

After climbing a section of the mountain road, Ye Kai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly disappeared. (Huh?) The surprised voices of his companions did not stop him, but he rushed straight up.

Ye Kai saw it. A man holding a stick. Below was a terrified girl and a boy protecting her. Like a fierce wind, he rushed over, accurately grabbed the man's head with his multifunctional gauntlet, and smashed it to the ground.

"Are you all right?" he said to those who recoiled in fear.

“You guys did a great job. It was amazing.”

"Ah..., uh...?"

A sharp whistle sounded. The watchers were gathering their companions.

“What are you doing, asshole!”

“I just helped the kids, right? Isn’t that an adult’s duty?”

"How dare you defy your national duty!"

As he grasped the surveillance man's arm and threw him to the ground and grabbed his face.

"So noisy. You're dealing with a child, but you're using weapons. You're worse than a beast."

He knocked the man down directly, then positioned himself to greet the arriving surveillance officers.

"Help! We are being forced into unnecessary high taxes and forced labor! Please help us!"

Bethan was suddenly startled, but he immediately concentrated on thinking. Now is not the time to think about problems. He can't miss this opportunity. If he misses the help, he will not be able to protect Mabel. He immediately grabbed a black-haired young man tightly.

"Of course. You don't have to worry." Ye Kai said to the young man with a smile, comforting him.

Tears flashed in the boy's eyes for a moment, but he pulled himself together, shook his head, and then helped the girl stand up and prepared to leave the place. He knew Ye Kai would be an obstacle.

“You, what’s your name?”

“My name is Bethan.”

“I’m Ye Kai. Well, wait a moment, Bethan. It won’t take long.”

"OK!"

At this time, they noticed a young man running towards them. A beautiful woman with green hair drew her sword and shouted, "At least shout before you do anything, really!"

“I’m sorry. I’m just overreacting. These kids are being forced into labor.”

"I see. What are you going to do?"

"Let's get rid of those annoying guys for now."

"Well, let's do it!"

“Are you all okay?”
