King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 401 Special Profession

"Hangchi! Bangchi!"

As the sand turned over and over again, a huge brown pit gradually appeared on the beach.

Judging from the color, the depth of the pit has penetrated the sand on the surface and reached the soil below.

"I seem to remember hearing Hu Tao say that after death, the head should be north and the feet should be south, right?" Ember jumped out of the pit below, clapped his hands and said to Menggert.

"But this is Rice Wife." Mengt picked up a corpse and threw it in.

Even-handed, just head north and feet south.

"That's right." Yu Yan suddenly realized that Li Yue's rules might no longer work for Dao Wife.

After Yi Yan finished speaking, Menggert's footsteps suddenly paused.

"What's wrong? Their conscience came to take care of the battlefield?" Yi Yan asked in confusion when he saw Menggert's movements.

Menggert shook his head, then looked at the trees to the side and said with a smile: "I thought there was no scavenger profession here, but now it seems that I thought too much."

"Come out, move neatly, don't make these corpses too messy."

After saying that, Menggert's eyes were fixed on the vegetation next to him, like a solemn statue. Looking from a distance, it gave people an invisible pressure.

Seeing this, Yi Yan wisely said nothing, because he knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, the solemn atmosphere would be destroyed without a trace.

The monster-like figure, combined with the blood-stained beach and corpses on the ground, created a sense of silent terror that instantly spread.

"Shhhhh!"

The shaking among the trees was so loud that it was obviously abnormal. Just one look and you know there's definitely something wrong with it.

"Weird...monster! I...I can tell you! I...we are...but the great pirate Kitaka-sama!"

While trembling, several people wearing old armor walked out of the bushes.

Although they were threatening, the trembling legs and shaking weapons had already betrayed their hearts.

"Okay, if monsters can persuade you to come out with nice words, then who are the soldiers you are hiding from? Demons?"

Menggert had long been accustomed to the fearful and frightened looks of several people in the distance. Their malice was far less than one ten thousandth of what I felt in the sewer.

"You...you really don't want these things?" The fear in the hearts of the people opposite who claimed to be pirates immediately dissipated a lot when they heard Menggert's words.

Yes, the "monster" in front of them would still talk to them pleasantly, but the resistance army and the shogunate army would not be so polite.

If he were not careful, he would be labeled as "spy" and "collaborator". If he was caught again, he would spend the rest of his life in prison.

"No, do you think my equipment looks like that of a scavenger?" Yu Yan patted his breastplate a few times, and then took out a bright straight sword.

"Look, how bright this sword is." Yi Yan ran up to a person with a straight sword that could be used as a mirror, and used the blade to reflect his surprised face.

"What a... what a good weapon." The man swallowed. The weapon in front of him was much stronger than other weapons he had seen.

"That's it! Go clean it up quickly, or what if the corpse stinks and becomes plagued?" Yi Yan patted the man's head and urged.

"oh oh?!"

Only then did the man react, and then shouted to the other people: "Everyone, hurry up!"

With that said, they began to touch the corpse skillfully.

The movements of these people were very skillful. Whether it was the corpses of the rebels or the shogunate army, they became naked in their hands in just a few minutes.

Fortunately, they still had some conscience and didn't take off people's underwear, otherwise there would be nothing Yu Yan could do to stop them.

Seeing them scavenging the corpses on the ground like locusts, Yi Yan suddenly felt that they might be more familiar with the army's equipment than the rebels and the shogunate themselves.

Where were the weapons placed? Where are supplies stored? Where is the connection point of the armor? Ember figured they knew this better than the soldiers. As the bodies on the ground were wiped clean, several people began to bury them. Since Ember had dug the grave in advance, they only needed to throw the body into it and bury it in the soil.

During this period, Yi Yan also ran over and took a look. Sure enough, except for the one handled by Menggert, the rest of the corpses had no regular orientation.

It seems that Liyue's rules really don't work for Dao Wife.

"Do you also bury corpses in normal times?" Menggert suddenly asked as he looked at the people who were burying the earth firmly.

"Reply to your lord, we usually set fire to it." The leader glanced at Menggert and responded cautiously.

"Just call me Mengt."

"Ember, we are just adventurers, don't be nervous. What about you?"

"The little...the little one's name is Santian." Santian bowed his hands to the two of them.

"Mita, right? After you finish cleaning up, take a step back and talk." Meng Gete nodded, and then led everyone into the woods.

As soon as they entered the grove, Mita and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"You seemed very nervous when you were on the beach?" Yi Yan couldn't help but ask when he saw everyone was obviously much more relaxed.

"Master Ember, you don't know something. In addition to us doing these jobs, those deserters also do it! And they are usually faster than us."

"If we hit it, we'll be in trouble!"

Seeing that this place was hidden, Mita started talking openly.

"That's quite dangerous." Yi Jin looked at Mita and the others. The arm armor of the shogunate army was matched with the leg armor of the resistance army, and half of it was also included. This combination should be unique to Inazuma.

It cannot be said that the protective ability is not there, but it can only be unsatisfactory. As for the weapons in their hands, how can they expect to kill someone if they hold their knives backwards?

"Isn't that right? Normally we only dare to pick up what others have left! But today we are lucky. Thanks to you two, the things we picked up are better."

Mita weighed the weapon and sword in his hand. This thing was worth a lot of money. This time he made a small fortune.

Thinking of the scene he saw at the beginning, Santian was frightened and also couldn't help but feel curious.

He asked cautiously: "Two adults, those people..."

"I'm overthinking it. We're not that cruel." Yi Jin smiled, then looked at Santian and asked: "If it's so dangerous, why do you still do this kind of work of contacting the dead? Aren't you afraid that they will come to you at night?"

After hearing this, Mita's face wrinkled up. He sighed and said, "I'm pretty good, I'm strong, and I can make a living with Master Guilong. If there are others..."

Santian thought for a moment and then said: "It's not that bad if an evil ghost comes to your door."

"Gui Long?" Yu Yan said that this was a name he had never heard of.

"There are big pirates active in the area. Only under Lord Kitaka can the things we pick up have a good market."

"Otherwise, the armor weapons we picked up will be just a pile of scrap metal in our hands." Mita explained.

Guilong is the biggest pirate in this area, and most of the people who scavenge are his subordinates. They are called subordinates just by name. The war is in chaos, and no one is willing to investigate even if they are dead.

Most of the things picked up by the corpse collector can only be exchanged for useful things such as money and food in his hands.

"The market has been bad recently, and I don't know how much food I can get in exchange for these things?" Looking at the scarred weapons and armor in his hands, Mita sighed again.

If possible, he didn't want to touch the dead body.

"Is that so?" Yi Yan nodded, and then wrote it down in a small notebook.

The numbers under the calm face on the notebook changed from "0" to "-3"
