"Hey, should I set up a Black Fang organization to seek justice for our fellow humans who have been oppressed by orcs?" Mercury walked out of the grocery store with a dark face, mocking himself without a sense of humor.
Although the four kingdoms have launched various human rights movements in recent years, and many orcs work and live in the four kingdoms, [human beings occupy four continents and drive orcs to remote islands to settle down] is not an issue that can be ignored. Humans and orcs Racial conflicts have never disappeared.
This kind of contradiction not only exists in the four kingdoms, but also in the Orcs' stronghold - the Beast Continent. However, the situation has been reversed, and those who were discriminated against and oppressed have become humans. If Adam, the leader of the radical faction of the White Fang organization, had not led a group of subordinates, After being dealt with by Feiton, humans would not even be able to survive here for more than a month.
"Forget it, at least there are no girls of four seasons and four holy objects here..." Mercury comforted himself and continued to look for work.
"——Hey, isn't this the guy who attacks with athlete's foot?" Feiton, wearing casual beach clothes and holding a coconut in his hand, happened to pass by.
By the way, unlike the prosperous capitals of the four kingdoms, the orc settlement in the Beast Continent is just a seaside town. This chance encounter is not a miraculous low-probability event.
"Huh? Who are you?" Mercury has never been a good-tempered person. He immediately showed an rude look after hearing others describe him in this way.
"Sorry, sorry, the image has changed. It's normal that you can't recognize it for a while." As soon as he finished speaking, Feiton flashed to Mercury's side and put his hand on his shoulder, "Do you need me to wrap the bandages all over my body again? Young man."
"!!!" Mercury's mood at this time was about ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping. He didn't expect that he would meet Feiton after hiding in the Beast Island.
"Speaking of which, you really saved your life~ I thought it was just the trigger of the civil war in the four kingdoms, but I didn't expect that Salem, holy objects, creation gods, etc. were also brought out." Feiton patted Mo in a friendly manner. Qiu Li's shoulders clearly conveyed a threat.
Mercury could only force himself to smile and plead for mercy: "In the past six months, I have been living peacefully in the Beast Continent, either at work or on the way to find a job. Completely cut off contact."
Maybe Xin De and Jade want to find him as a traitor, but the consequences of blowing up the communication tower are shared. After losing the long-distance communication function, it is not that easy for them to find someone.
Feiton agreed with this statement, retracted his arm, sucked the coconut water and said vaguely: "It seems like this~"
At least he didn't smell any conspiracy during the days he wandered around the Beast Continent.
"Huh..." Mercury breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few months, he had been thinking about whether to find some dangerous, immoral, and high-paying jobs. At this moment, he was just glad that he did not mess around.
Feiton turned towards the small restaurant in the distance and said, "Come here, I'll treat you to lunch and ask you some questions."
Needless to say, Mercury had no right to say no.
"Great, save a meal. It's not that easy for humans to find jobs in the Beast Continent." After Mercury knew that his life was not in danger, he also began to show his temperament honed by wallowing among bad guys since he was a child. "However, if you want to inquire about Salem's plan, I may disappoint you. I am just a subordinate of Salem's subordinate, a bastard who doesn't even have the right to speak in the meeting."
"Hey~ I thought you had never met the top leader, but you still have the right to observe the meeting?" The leader of the criminal organization to which Feiton belongs is an example of someone who basically does not show up. "Well, you can rest assured, I just I just want to hear what 'Salem' looks like in your eyes."
Mercury was confused: "The 'Salem' in my eyes?"
"At present, my understanding of Salem comes entirely from Ozma, and my trust in Ozma is not high. I want to use this to verify the information." Feiton glanced at Mercury, "For example, Ozma Ma said that Salem’s ultimate purpose is to collect holy objects, causing the God of Creation to return to judge mankind, and to lift the curse of immortality through the disguise of annihilation.”
"What!?" Mercury yelled subconsciously. He joined the Salem camp in order to live a better life in the new world created by Salem.
Feiton grinned, threw the coconut to Mercury, and walked towards the small restaurant: "Well, it seems I'm not the only one who needs to exchange information."
"...I am a bad person, but bad people are also 'people'." Mercury took the coconut and followed helplessly.

"...It went more smoothly than expected." Yang Xiaolong, Blake, Pyrrha, and Qiangyak were heading to the Valley Kingdom on the Qingtian Kingdom's military airship.
After General Tiemu placed members of the Association under house arrest, he continued to implement his consistent policy of prohibiting entry and exit and only allowing movement within the country. However, he still regarded himself as a "good ruler" and faced the departure application submitted by Yang Xiaolong and others. , finally chose to agree.
Yang Xiaolong looked out at the scenery outside through the glass of the cabin, and suddenly said: "Qiang, do you still remember what happened when you went to Beacon Academy?"
Qiang Yak held his forehead and said, "Well, I thought the 'vomiting man' joke was over."
"Don't worry, I just want to sigh, you have really grown a lot." Yang Xiaolong shook his head and said slightly melancholy, "In comparison, have I grown up?"
"?" Blake, Pyrrha, and Janac looked at each other, wondering why Yang Xiaolong was so worried.
Yang Xiaolong continued: "Ruby became a hunter because she wanted to be a hero in fairy tales who helped others, saved the world, and didn't ask for anything in return; Wei Si became a hunter because she wanted to wash away the stigma her father had brought to the Xueni family. , changing the way of survival of the Xue Ni Group; Blake became a hunter because he wanted to improve the situation of the orcs and resolve the conflict between humans and orcs... Not only do everyone have lofty ideals, but they are also on the road to realizing their ideals.
And the reason why I chose to become a hunter was just because I wanted to take risks, I wanted a life where I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and I didn't want to continue to live with the crowd. The profession of being a hunter just happened to match my purpose... However, , after I became a hunter, I was still just drifting with the crowd. "
Blake tried to comfort her: "Yang, everyone's ideals are different. There is no distinction between high and low."
"Maybe... but what if there is a problem with my ideals from birth?" Yang Xiaolong's eyes lost focus, recalling something, "Lewen, my mother, disappeared from my life without any warning. I once I tried to find her, but in the end I could only accept the reality - now that I think about it, this is the root of everything."
"..." Blake and the others didn't know what to say. It's not easy to make irresponsible remarks about other people's family problems.
"Ah, don't be too superficial." Yang Xiaolong said ashamedly, "Of course, I want to make some contributions to mankind, and I also understand the value of Qiang's plan... But I ask myself, can I calmly talk to Lei Can I control the negotiation? Can I control my resentment and anger and prevent them from ruining the negotiation? "
Maybe it's possible, maybe it's not possible, and this lack of confidence became the beginning of Yang Xiaolong's reflection.
Blake hugged Yang Xiaolong: "So, we are here now."
Pyrrha nodded and said: "No one is perfect. As long as you walk on the right path, there is no need to worry too much."
Qiang Yake scratched his head and said, "Well... when you are willing to reflect, doesn't it mean you have made some progress?"
"...Thanks, everyone." Yang Xiaolong put on a smile, but it was obvious that her troubles had not been resolved yet.
Some people died, but not completely...
