"In this way, with a little training, the Round Table Army can get hundreds of new soldiers."
The Round Table Army originally only had a few hundred soldiers. This was part of the reason why Jiang Li went to the Human Ranch and then returned to Camelot with Bagster to report on his duties and strengthen them.
"What a slave, I let you escape here!"
The city gate.
A gorgeously dressed female elf, probably from the Wind Clan, with snow-white wings and a pure and pleasant appearance.
She waved the whip in her hand and struck the human kneeling on the ground fiercely.
"Telling you to run away! How dare you!"
"You are my slave, so you should listen to me! I am a superior fairy, and it is your honor to follow me!"
"This is a lesson for you!"
While whipping, he also made shouting and scolding sounds from his mouth.
The human male kneeling on the ground twitched violently every time he was whipped.
He didn't even have the strength to scream, and his eyes revealed deep despair, as if his heart was filled with despair.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Li clicked his tongue and stepped forward.
"Human? Are you one of the escaped humans?"
The female elf stopped whipping, and her suspicious eyes fell on Jiang Li's cloak.
"You humans really have no self-awareness. It is obvious that being able to follow our superior goblins is a blessing that many humans cannot ask for, but you still want to escape! Guards, what are you doing? Why don't you take him down too!"
The guard guarding the city gate remained motionless.
Their furry bodies trembled twice and retreated without leaving a trace.
"What are you doing? These are escaped humans. It's your duty to capture them, right? Can't you Ya goblins even fulfill their duties?"
The female goblin glared at the soldiers with displeased faces.
"idiot!"
However, when Ya's soldiers heard this, they cursed her secretly and ran away from her like a snake or a scorpion.
The soldiers of Ya are not only powerful, but their noses are also much better than other clans. Once you smell something once, you will never forget it.
They smelled a familiar scent from the cloaked man.
That smell represents fear!
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Li asked for the second time.
"Your Highness, this is punishment for escaping humans."
The captain who defended the city was also born in Ya. He took the initiative to stand up and explained to Jiang Li in a low voice.
"Every year there are humans like this. Because they don't want to become the slaves of the goblins, they try to escape from the goblin mansion. However, alone humans are not allowed to leave the city gate, so they are found by their masters..."
Human beings walking alone are very troublesome in the wild.
All humans are regarded as property by goblins, and once discovered, they will inevitably be thrown into prison.
That's all if they have the right to independence. If they are found to be runaway slaves, they will either be sent to human pastures or sent to Camelot for "destruction"!
Unless you stay in the mountains and forests for the rest of your life, running away means no future.
This is the human ecology of this Lost Belt!
"you……!"
"Oh? Isn't this Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
The female goblin was about to jump when an unhurried voice came from inside the city gate.
The wheels rolled across the road, and a luxurious carriage loaded with gold and silver slowly came from not far away from the avenue.
After the curtains opened, a long and narrow man's face appeared from inside, with a shrewd smile on his face.
"It's Lord Spriggan, the leader of the Earth Clan and the lord of Norwich!"
The fairies surrounding him recognized that face, and suddenly they screamed in surprise.
"Your Highness, King, Princess?!"
The female goblin was startled when she heard this, and her face changed seriously.
"Did a slave escape? This happens all over Britain. Please don't worry about it, Your Highness."
Spriggan opened the main curtain of the carriage and looked at the female goblin with a bored expression.
"You witch over there, take your slave away quickly!"
"Ah, yes! Please forgive me for being blind and rushing into Her Highness the Princess. Get out of here!"
You didn't punish me?
The female goblin suddenly felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She quickly picked up the human slave and ran towards her home, disappearing in a flash.
"..."
Jiang Li looked at the goblins and humans going away and was speechless for a long time.
"Your Highness, please get on the carriage and have a talk!"
Sprigen turned to look at Jiang Li with an amiable smile on his face.
Jiang Li pondered for a while and stepped onto the carriage.
"Does this kind of thing happen all over Britain?"
"Not just every day, basically there are many incidents every month."
Sprigen led Jiang Li to sit down, supported his arm with his hands, and chuckled.
"My Norwich should be regarded as the city closest to the history of meta-humanity in the whole of Britain. Even so, it is still common for humans to escape."
"You didn't think of a solution?"
"How to solve it? The whole of Britain is like this, and all the goblin masters are the same. Even if I personally want to do something, trying to shake the huge whole is just a dream, isn't it?"
"So, you didn't do anything?"
Jiang Li's gaze went straight to Spriggan.
"You are obviously a human being?"
That sharp look made Spligen feel as if an arrow had pierced his heart, and his heart stopped for a moment.
"...Haha, Your Highness the Princess is really scary. Can you actually see through my identity at a glance?"
Spriggan laughed dryly.
But the expression on his face remained unchanged.
It had happened many times before that he could see through his identity as soon as they met. Whether it was the Queen or Woodworth, the leader of the Fang Clan, they had already seen through his identity.
But he has value, and he has value that makes the Queen pay attention, so he can rest easy so far. Woodworth tried to kill him several times, but the Queen stopped him.
"Yes, I am indeed human."
Spriggen admitted frankly.
"Although I claim to be the second generation of Spriggan, the leader of the Fang Clan, my real name is Caprice, and I was the second-in-command of Spriggan & Caprice Co., Ltd. That was a long time ago."
That's right.
In the fairy country of Britain, where all clan leaders should be fairies, the leader of the Earth clan is actually a human!
"Isn't it more than that?"
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.
His vision was like X-rays, and he could see Spriggan's entire body clearly.
"...What is your Highness referring to?"
Spriggan smiled but said nothing.
"How old are you?"
"...148 years old."
"But the humans in this Lost Belt are born with limited functions and usually don't live past the age of thirty."
Jiang Li closed one eye and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I have heard that the Queen will attract some 'drifts' from the history of meta-humanity in the name of 'divine mystery'. That is one of the reasons why this Lostbelt is so knowledgeable about and pursues the history of meta-humanity."
"Aren't you also a 'drifter'?"
