Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Hamut is alone and alone. Whether it is investigation or revenge, it can only involve the small shrimps on the periphery, so he wants to seek help.

And the most professional and powerful.

Undoubtedly anti-slavery.

Hamut drifted all the way and entered the swamp because he heard their news.

Later, due to encounters with Seto, Lu Meng and others, in order to prevent Shizhen, which had just been liberated from the Stone Rat Group, from being counterattacked again, he hid his goal and was willing to stay and stabilize the alliance while forming an alliance. to the rear.

On the way, Lu Meng contacted Silver Shadow on his behalf, and found two anti-slavery activists, Jaeger and Bo, who were hiding in the Shark Village, and got in touch... This is something to be said later.

However, neither Jiege, Bo nor Ronin Diu expected that Lu Meng would directly go to Hui, the person in charge of the anti-slavery people, for this.

"To be honest, with my current job, it is difficult to spare time alone to help Hamut." Lu Meng said, "Like him, the only candidates I can think of are you."

The whereabouts of Hamut's wife and daughter are also an unsolved mystery in the background, otherwise he could go there without warning and solve the problem directly.

The only thing that is known is that they were trafficked to a mine - United City is a vast territory, and the mining industry is huge. Searching them one by one is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Of course, even this information.

It also helped them narrow down their scope significantly.

"..." Hui was silent for a moment and then said: "You are right."

But... what he didn't expect was:

Now as the leader of a force, Lu Beiyou's direct purpose in finding a force like the anti-slavery people was not to seek profit but to benefit his friends.

There is no need to be modest about it.

Although the number of anti-slavery people is small, they are all elites. The threshold for joining is to start as a martial artist. The backbone is world-famous assassins or stealth masters like Jaeger and Bo. The top brass are enough to be supported by the outside world. A powerful war-level ronin.

This does not include tin boxing.

Such a force, if it were a secular organization and did not make enemies everywhere, would be enough to dominate one side or even compete for the continent... Of course, if this was their goal, there would be no anti-slavery people with such well-organized and firm beliefs as today. .

Compatible.

Any secular organization, when it has the opportunity to come into contact with anti-slavery people, will find ways to cling to them and try to gain benefits.

This is why they are so cautious.

Don't let someone kill you with a borrowed knife.

Hui, who was born in the Blood Rebellion, knew this very well.

That's what the name says.

A bloody lesson.

However, Lu Beiyou broke this perception the first moment he came into contact with him.

The bee prince, who was wearing a coat, held an umbrella and looked into the distance silently. The long wind on the grassland blew across his cheek, and the bandage flapped, but his gray eyes did not blink.

Look at him.

Lu Meng remembered another setting.

In fact.

In the background story, Hamut relied on his own strength to find anti-slavery people.

Although the progress cannot be as fast as it is now.

That was many years later.

However, the anti-slavery people received the drifter but did not accept him.

The operation to rescue their relatives ultimately failed, and they rejected Hamut's request to join the anti-slavery people, and the two parties eventually broke up.

Hamut has completely become an assassin drifting in the wasteland.

Until I met the Nameless One.

Now……

"Mr. Lu, I promise you." Hui said, "But to be honest, we can't guarantee that we will be able to help Mr. Hamut realize his wish."

Lu Meng nodded: "This is natural..."

"Furthermore, I think it is necessary to explain something in advance..." Hui paused, "Your friendship and Mr. Hamt's persistence are very touching, but... in the end, we may not accept Hamut. Mr Mutt joins the anti-slavery people - that's the charter."

This does correspond.

Lu Meng: "Can I ask why?"

"Hate," the bee prince held up an umbrella, "because of hatred."

"What drives Mr. Hamut now is his persistence and longing for his relatives... But with all due respect, this hope is really slim. It is just a dream that can be shattered at any time."

"Once this dream is shattered, it will turn into deep-seated hatred for the nobles, the slave owners... and even the United City and the entire world."

Ash had met Hamut before.

And his ability to read people's minds has always been very accurate.

"What's wrong with hatred?" Lu Meng asked.

"No, it's very good... everyone among the anti-slavery people has more or less hatred." Hui looked at the construction site in the distance. The young man who was good at mechanism accidentally knocked over a bucket of mortar, which provoked Wo. Man scolded him with a hint of instruction, and he couldn't help but apologize, with an awkward smile on his face, "Even a child of Xia Hong's age is like this. His parents left him when he was six years old... ...I don’t need to explain the reason... It was the anti-slavery people who brought him up. The brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts here are equivalent to his relatives, but even so, I can detect: the hidden secret in Xia Hong’s heart The fire burned him all the time."

"It's hatred that brings us together."

Hui said so.

This may include himself.

And Lu Meng was waiting for him to finish.

"But, just like this..." he shook his head, "is not enough."

"If you are only trapped in your own hatred, and don't know the source of tragedy; if you are only satisfied with stabbing the knife into the chest of your enemy, but ignore the shackles hanging over everyone's head... If you don't change this world, tragedy will continue to happen again and again, continuously."

The bee man raised a hand from under the umbrella and stretched it into the sun.

Stimulated by ultraviolet rays, his exposed scar trembled like a spasm, and his blood vessels throbbed. Just one look at it can feel the huge pain.

But Hui seemed unaware.

"It's like a meat grinder. When it starts to turn..." he said, "Can you tell which blade killed you?"

"I understand." Lu Meng nodded.

There have always been countless people who hold deep hatred and find anti-slavery.

They will not ignore the long-cherished wishes of these people, but if the other party cannot understand their ideas in the end, they will not force them to accept them.

Even refuse.

Because the anti-slavers know that the other party is still standing with them at this moment because they share a common hatred, so they will never compromise.

But once revenge is taken.

This motivation will disappear.

At that time, they will avoid the "dangerous and heretical" anti-slavers.

And if revenge is not taken.

This resentment may even be transferred to the anti-slavers who accepted the request.

——Why didn't you do it?

Absorbing such people into the organization will definitely not help the organization grow and develop, and even lead the entire anti-slavers astray if you are not careful.

These are the lessons that Gray learned when he helped Tin Fist run the anti-slavers.

And for decades.

When the anti-slavers were at their largest, they only had a few hundred people, and this is the reason.

People with similar ideals.

are always a minority.

"Of course, I am being sentimental when I say this." Hui suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Meng: "Mr. Hamt's obsession is as strong and sharp as his knife. Such people will never give up until they achieve their goals, and will never miss the opportunity to take revenge. In the end, they usually want to join our anti-slavery people - but in fact, when I contacted him, Mr. Hamt did not express such a desire."

Excitement and gratitude are difficult to hide.

This is reasonable.

But to the surprise of the bee man, unlike his expectation, Hamt did not put all his hopes on the anti-slavery people. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Once missed, such a result often leads to extremes...but he did not.

Even though this drifter still misses his family, he stays here not because he is impatient and anxious, but because he has no choice.

But he can really feel a sense of tranquility.

Such comfort has helped him to make further progress in swordsmanship and martial arts, and achieved the legion level.

He also has the ability to grasp hope himself.

Gray looked at the white-haired young man, and then thought about the misunderstandings he and others had had about him before... Bee Man felt that he probably knew the reason.

"But no matter what, since it is the Red King's formal request, at least I will do my best." He said, "And helping Mr. Hamut is also the responsibility of the anti-slavery people."

What he said made no sense. In fact, Lu Meng had not promised any benefits in exchange until then... But Gray agreed straightforwardly.

In his eyes.

The other party was able to give up the opportunity to ask for it from the anti-slavery people, and instead gave it to his friend, which was enough to convince him.

The Red King could do this.

The anti-slavery people must not fall behind.

And in Lu Meng's sight.

The faction relationship of [Anti-Slavery People] on the panel has reached the third level of "Friendly" column.

For such a powerful and influential organization, it is extremely difficult to improve the relationship a little and make them change their views on themselves.

Even his relationship with the White Eyebrow Clan was not achieved overnight, and it went through many twists and turns.

This is just the overlord of Shandi.

Not to mention the secret anti-slavers.

But now, whether Lu Meng sees the panel data or listens to Mr. Gray's tone, he can directly feel the changes.

However, the anti-slavers' attitude towards him before was "coexistence", obviously there was no hostility, and they even had a good impression.

Lu Meng was able to relax so much.

And for Gray, helping Hamut was not a rash promise. At his position, there was not much room left for selfishness.

Although the anti-slavers would not accept everyone who needed help or had a common goal-but this meant that they would not be included as formal members.

On the one hand, they could strike at the United City, and on the other hand, they could help the specific suffering people, and they would not refuse and would be happy to see it happen.

It's just that the methods used are different.

Not everyone has the strength like Hamut, and sometimes the anti-slavers will send ronin, hide their identities, and privately teach these people martial arts or hidden assassination skills, so that they have the ability to resist.

In folk legends.

It is quite a performance of a hermit.

The reason why Tin Fist chose martial arts was also very simple.

In this way, even if he was a slave with nothing, deprived of everything... he always had his fist as a weapon.

As for those who received help from anti-slavery people, even if they did not know the true identity of their benefactors or who they were, the vast majority would still reciprocate the favor. The remaining few needed to be on guard but could not generalize.

These people became the peripheral organizations of the anti-slavery people, distributed throughout the continent, serving as the downline of various city-states, villages and towns.

Otherwise, with just a few hundred core members of the anti-slavery group, let alone compete with the regular army of the United City, without intelligence and support, it would be difficult to move around.

If they want to fight against the merchant guild's trade intelligence network all over the continent, they must have something similar.

Even in Shendi.

This is also the reason why Hui can appear here safely.

And among these peripheral members, after long-term inspection and testing, some of them will be formally absorbed by the anti-slavery people and become new blood.

The rest either continue to maintain the status quo, or their enthusiasm fades and gradually fades out... because they do not understand the true situation of the anti-slavery people. Even if they rebel, the damage caused will be very small and completely controllable.

This time, the anti-slavery people came out.

Stool is also related to peripheral tissues.

And this is actually another matter that Lu Meng and Hui need to discuss.

"...Lu Jin." Hui said, "I never thought that the child who escaped from the farm could grow to where he is now."

Without the help of formal members of the anti-slavery group, he directly assassinated a noble of the rank of great lord.

This is only the highest status.

In addition, there were countless slave owners, warriors, and hooded guards who died under his blade.

Already causing a stir in Union City.

It got to the point where nobles of Lord Hengcheng's level would run to Long En for help just because they heard his name.

Frightened by the news.

But because he rose to prominence too quickly, and because of Emperor Tengu's personal interests, the Imperial Police acted quickly and sealed the assassin within the United Cities.

Wait until distant anti-slavery people react.

Already on his own, he was arrested and imprisoned.

It is impossible for anti-slavery people to turn a blind eye to such talents and achievements.

And just right.

Lu Jin was one of Ji Hai's friends he met in Aikang Town, and he was also involved in the murder case of the bloody remnant.

Several of them are either on the run, arrested, imprisoned, or under house arrest... but they are all brothers in distress.

"In addition to Lu Jin, many of our other companions are also imprisoned in the Tengu's dungeon. Some of their hidden identities may not have been discovered, but they must also be suffering from the torture of the perverted emperor... We have long planned to plan a plan together. Prison robbery, this is also a bait, the timing is just right," Hui said, "But now it seems that this 'timing' is exactly the bait thrown by Long En."
