After being betrayed by the Empire, I decided to assist the Demon King

Chapter 190 Embrace and Redemption

"Sorry, I'm late."

As Ira said this, she gently embraced the orc who didn't seem to be seriously injured. He looked at the other person's eyes as if they were dead, and he just kept hugging without saying anything.

Hugging her all the time, hugging her as if making time stop at this moment, he will always hug her... That's what he said, but in fact it will only last about 10 minutes.

or until...

"……thanks."

The other party engages in any form of conversation.

After hearing such a voice, Ira let her go gently, and sent her to Xilina's direction, and then he hugged the next person... hugged those slaves who were heartbroken.

Hold until they don't treat themselves as slaves...

In the alien slave trade, there are always a large number of orcs. Of course, the rarest elves are the most popular, followed by monsters with special styles. However, because of the natural power of elves and the way monsters live together, they are more difficult to capture.

Therefore, the number of orcs among the slaves is the largest... But if you don’t look at this group, the most slaves in the world are naturally humans. Maybe they were plundered on the battlefield, maybe they were bankrupt and owed debts, or maybe they were small countries that destroyed their country. .

But human beings do not belong to [Alien Trade], and most of them are sold into slavery for various reasons, but the end is the same miserable, and they need to be treated with the same kindness.

But the slaves of the Black Shackle Pirates, except for a few monsters, are all orcs... Human slaves are very cheap, and it is not worth the effort to transport them by sea. Is this luck or sadness?
"Sorry, I'm late."

As Ira said, she hugged another orc. He looked at the sobbing person, and happily sent her to the direction of the three sea monsters... This orc was seriously injured, and he was handed over to the three sea monsters to bandage her. just fine.

Crying is a good thing, as long as nothing happens.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

"Sorry, I'm late."

"Sorry, I'm late..."

"..."

Ira repeated, but no one felt bored, and he himself would not feel bored. Every slave either cried, or calmed down, or hugged Ira gratefully, and then he was saved after saying something.

Soon, there was only one last person left in front of Ira... It was a catwoman with a dense body covered with various scars, with black hair, and her breathing was very weak.

The wounds on the opponent's body have long since healed, but the wounds in his heart have not.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Embracing this behavior can make them realize to the greatest extent... They are intelligent creatures who are treated as equals, not slaves who are humble to the extreme, not a commodity.

This simple action is far more powerful than many words... Usually Ira will hug for 10 minutes, one by one, and then let the children who have not moved to bandage first.

Then use other methods to save them...

However, the only response to Ira at this moment was silence. Whether it was everyone in the Demon King's Land or the slaves, they all silently watched the last slave...waiting for the moment when she really became a human again.

10 minutes have passed.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Mr. Ira, we are taking them back to the ship first. This time your friend sent us a lot of extra supplies, but there is no need to buy more supplies... But the route needs to be changed, and we may have to go back to the beastman country to send them off first." go back."

Xilina said so, looked at Yila who was nodding, and returned with the others...

"..."

"..."

"..."

The spectators on the pier also dispersed. They didn't think there was any joy in watching such a scene. The most important thing now is...to welcome the upcoming big changes in Hazlothar.

There was only Yila left on the pier, a group of guards and one person, and it became quiet...

It was so quiet that both sides could hear the heartbeat of the other, and even one could feel Ira's gentleness and tenderness that was about to overflow...but there was no pity.

Pity is for cats and dogs... At least the slaves think so, so no [human] needs to be pitiful.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ira put her arms around the cat slave, sticking to her petite body, until the other party finally spoke, whispering in a very soft voice the words in response to him [Sorry, I'm late]——

"No...you are not wrong."

The catman whispered softly in Yila's ear with a voice as thin as a mosquito: "It's us, it's me who shouldn't be playful and leave the tribe... the parents who came to look for me were killed .”

It seemed that the reason why the other party avoided reality... was because of self-blame.

"But you are not wrong."

As Ira said, he breathed a sigh of relief because the other party finally made some movement, and helped her to walk in the direction of the devil leading the boat. He said: "The victim... will never be wrong."

"..."

Catman: "But, it's me..."

Ira: "Not you."

"..."

The cat girl who was interrupted was silent. She leaned on Ira, almost entirely led by Ira... She opened her mouth again, ready to tell her sins: "It's all because of me..."

"It's not you!"

"..."

Ira listened to the other party's silence, his voice softened, and said: "I don't want to say [it's the world's fault], then the fault is the nobles and the slave catchers who want to buy slaves, if it's not you , then it must be someone else.”

"So, you have never done anything wrong, you are just not lucky enough, if you have to say it... Your biggest mistake is to be so lifeless, and not thinking about revenge against those real villains."

As Ira said, there seemed to be some inexplicable colors in the cat girl's eyes. At this moment, they have come to the front of the boat, and everyone is already waiting here.

"Ira..."

Ira: "Huh?"

"Can you... hug me again?"

Regarding the cat girl's words, Ira smiled happily. He gently hugged the girl and said, "If you need it, you can do it anytime... You are trembling, I hope it is not out of despair."

Saying so, Ira let go of the girl, and stared at the other party's eyes that seemed to be burning with pitch-black flames. He felt relieved and said softly: "I will teach you about revenge, remember..."

"The only things in the world that cannot be let down are anger and delicious food."

----------

"..."

"You saved a lot of slaves...how? Feel like a hero?"

The man surrounded by guards, while drinking wine boldly, said this to Ira who was about to board the ship. He said with a smile: "You really made a big fuss~"

And Yila also knew the identity of the other party, he nodded apologetically, and was just about to say something...

"Ahhh, no need to apologize, even though I broke the rules...but in the eyes of you legends, the rules I set are like bullshit, right? And you are still giving me face."

This man who looked quite noble, he threw a bottle of wine to Ira, made a gesture of raising his glass, and said: "But breaking the rules is still breaking the rules... You come to Hazlotha later, food and Drinking water will be twice the market price."

But Hazlothar's price is three times the normal price.

"Thank you, King Lothar."

For Ira's thanks, because of the redistribution of benefits and a slight profit, the king of Lothar raised the wine bottle with a smile, and blessed: "I wish you all the best!"

Responding to him was the back of Ira waving her hand.
