"EVERYONE LISTEN WELL! FROM NOW ON…"
Dohyuk then remembered Heeyun as one of the top members in his group in his previous life. It seemed that it was true. As Heeyun began talking to the group of people, Dohyuk turned to Duhoon.
"I don't have much experience in this."
"…"
"But I know enough. If you tell me what I need, you will live longer."
Duhoon nodded.
"Those people."
"at least I didn't kill them. I'm sorr…"
"How can I use them?"
"Huh?"
It was Duhoon who was shocked instead. He was prepared to listen to Dohyuk lecture about morals or justice.
"You can't even answer the first question? I asked you where you use them and why."
As he had said to the boy, Dohyuk was going to try his best. Even if it wasn't free, it only seemed fair.
What Dohyuk wanted was just like the other corrupt ones: to become powerful. The difference was that he wanted it in a different way than those corrupted ones. He didn't have the will or power to take care of all those people like some saint.
"If-if you are talking about how to use those slaves…"
If they kept that number of people alive, it meant they were getting something out of their labor.
"…S-so, we taught them to gather various extracts and herbs from the forest… The ones you currently have are normal slaves without any special skills."
"Skills? Like that of a doctor or an engineer?"
Duhoon was a little confused.
"Uh… Y-yes, we have those kinds of slaves… but you know, the ones with special 'Nature' or 'Talent' that are not suitable for fighting."
"…"
"Those are controlled by the officers of the circle themselves. Oh, and some good girls.."
"That's enough."
Dohyuk ordered him to stop, and then began to think. He had planned to capture one person to gather information when he arrived, but the existence of 'slaves' was unexpected.
'It's different.'
North and south. The landscape was still relatively the same, but the culture was different.
"Good."
Dohyuk asked the original question he was going to ask.
"Where's the city named Barkatu?"
…
When Dohyuk and Aruga were still busy talking about their 'contract'...
"….W-what?"
Dohyuk had the upper hand in the contract they made. It was Aruga who was in a bad situation.
"My profit is too little," Dohyuk said. Half of it was a bluff, while half of it was the truth.
"You have no coins or anything you can give me right now?"
"I-I told you! It's not like my power is weak! It's just how the 'rule' works!" Aruga replied.
"If you serve me, as a god, I can give you everything you want. I mean, with just the flick of a finger, I can make it rain fire from the sky…"
"Don't talk about nonsense."
This world was not their own. The gods needed help from Casita's needle to shape the world, or a host to bring forth their power. Without those conduits, it was not possible to do anything.
"That's annoying."
"…"
