Chapter 152 - Sacrifice!
Chapter 152: Sacrifice!
Lin Ming was definitely not someone who meddled in other people’s business.
However, if evil met Lin Ming, Lin Ming would definitely stand on the side of justice!
At this moment, when evil met Lin Ming, Lin Ming would definitely maintain his bottom line.
No matter where he was.
“Doesn’t your village have a strong mage or secret swordsman?”
Lin Ming asked.
“There is, but who would stay in such a place when they have the power? You have to know that the resources in any city are much better than this place,” the old man said.
“Why don’t you go to the city?”
The current situation reminded Lin Ming regarding the humans who were bought and sold by Giant City had come.
They were not in any city, nor did they have anyone to protect them.
“If we enter a city, we will only be treated as slaves. Here is still good.”
The old man shook his head.
This place was too cruel. To be able to live was an extravagant hope.
“Furthermore, our country only has three cities. The cities are all filled with power, and there are no ordinary people.”
“Ordinary people like us who are unable to cultivate will spend our lives waiting for death,” the old man continued to speak.
“Only three cities?”
Hearing this, Lin Ming frowned.
He suddenly understood something.
These humans were, in essence, reared by the people in the cities.
When they needed these humans, they would send troops to capture them!
This was the first time Lin Ming had encountered such a thing.
“What empire is this?”
Lin Ming asked again.
After all, Lin Ming had traveled through so many empires, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
“Empire? What empire?”
After hearing Lin Ming’s words, the old man asked in a daze.
“In our world, there has never been an empire. The entire world is connected together,” a young man said.
“In other words, there are only three cities in the entire world?”
Lin Ming frowned and asked.
There was no empire in this place!
Lin Ming was starting to wonder if he had passed through the crack and entered another world.
Of course, this thought only crossed his mind for a moment.
After all, these humans didn’t have any power. It would be very difficult for them to travel a long distance on foot.
Therefore, it was normal that they didn’t know about the empire.
And the city they were talking about might be the city that was close to their village.
“Didn’t any magical beasts attack your village?”
Lin Ming looked at the empty forest around him and asked.
“No. Although the people in the city will occasionally take away some people from the village, they will also clean up the magical beasts regularly. They won’t let us, the villages that survived, be attacked by the magical beasts,” the old man answered.
Lin Ming nodded after hearing it.
At this moment, he knew even more that the people in these villages were kept in captivity.
The reason why they hadn’t been taken away wasn’t because they hadn’t been discovered, but because they weren’t needed yet.
And the reason why they had been taken away, including the elder, women, and children, was that they were definitely doomed.
Click! Click!
Suddenly, the surroundings of this village were surrounded by a thick layer of ice.
And in the sky, a person jumped down.
“It seems that your village is also needed,” Lin Ming looked at the villagers and said.
The villagers huddled together nervously.
Most of them closed their eyes.
In this place, such things were actually already accepted in their hearts.
They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
“Brother, I’m afraid.”
As the village was surrounded, the little girl hugged Lin Ming.
“Don’t be afraid,” Lin Ming said calmly as he looked at the surrounding army.
There were three mage in the army.
“Huh? There’s a mage?”
Lin Ming stood in the middle of the village, looking out of place.
After all, everyone here was an ordinary person.
And in this world, there really weren’t any strong people, and they were still in the village.
“Please take out your token,” a mage in the army spoke.
“Token?”
Lin Ming frowned. He had just arrived here, so there was no token.
“My friend, today we will take away everyone in this village. Please do not stop us.”
Seeing that Lin Ming did not take out his token, they did not have much reaction.
After all, in this world, although most people were already numb to it, there were still some chivalrous people.
Right at this moment, they regarded Lin Ming as such a person.
However, these chivalrous people weren’t actually very strong.
After all, upon reaching a certain level, they would be taken in by the Sage Realml experts of this world.
Thus, when facing Lin Ming, they didn’t have too many worries.
“Tsk tsk, can you take me away? I’ll replace them,” Lin Ming looked at the mage and asked.
“Friend, you have to know that even if you protect them today, they won’t be able to escape this fate,” the mage spoke to Lin Ming.
“I’m a mage. Can’t I exchange for their lives?”
Lin Ming spoke.
“This is really life. If you’re willing, that’s fine too,” the mage thought for a moment and spoke.
“Life?”
Lin Ming frowned and spoke coldly.
“You don’t have to pretend to be ignorant. Their role is to supply energy, blood, and soul. If you want to replace them, I’ll allow you to replace half of the village.”
“After all, there aren’t many who are willing to sacrifice a mage now,” the mage opened his mouth and said.
After hearing this, Lin Ming’s heart was in turmoil.
Even if he had prepared the worst, he didn’t expect that these people would be brought to be sacrificed!
“You mean to sacrifice them? That old, young, women, and children are all like this?”
Lin Ming frowned.
“That’s right.”
The mage was already getting impatient.
After all, in his opinion, as a mage, Lin Ming definitely knew these basic things.
“The children too?”
Lin Ming looked at the little girl and little boy beside him and asked.
“That’s right.”
“If you don’t have anything else, please leave. I’ll take what you said just now as a joke,” the mage said.
“What if I don’t leave?”
Lin Ming snorted.
He wanted to sacrifice everyone in this village, regardless of whether it was the elderly, the young, the women, or the children!
At this moment, Lin Ming had met them, he had to take care of them!
“You have to know the consequences!”
The mage said coldly.
His patience towards Lin Ming had already run out!
“Save us, please don’t let us go!”
Behind Lin Ming, the entire village seemed to be grasping at straws.
