Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 334 The Miserable Natives
After a while, the others went out, and the pregnant woman and the lady stayed.

They looked at Roy, who was sitting at the top, with a little trepidation.

The little boy was seen sitting on a tall stone chair with a high back. The dark velvet cushion and bright red backrest set off his fair skin, making it look even more textured.

He has a handsome face and bright eyes as bright as stars, exuding a charm that is hard for mortals to resist.

For a moment, the two mature women couldn't help but hold their breath and stood there.

How could there be such a person in the world?

That peerless beauty made people forget all worldly things temporarily, until the clear and beautiful voice of a young boy came and woke them up.

"How did you get here?"

"Sir, we came here voluntarily." The lady was the first to come to her senses.

Roy said, "You tell me first."

The noblewoman gathered herself, a trace of sadness on her face. "I was originally the daughter of an earl in the Kingdom of Dolan. I was betrothed to my current husband, the Earl of Zitongshan. He later joined forces with several other noble families to establish the Eastern Steam Locomotive Company and participated in the development of the Eastern Line."

Roy showed an interested look: "Isn't this good?"

The classical aristocrats seized the opportunities of the times and rode the wave. This was to become capitalists and make a fortune.

The lady’s face became even more sorrowful: “At the beginning, things were indeed thriving. Even when we encountered troubles like land acquisition and bridge construction, we solved them smoothly.

Unexpectedly, after several rounds of expansion, the company had grown so large that its cash flow began to become sluggish.

As one of the directors, he had to borrow money from Protos Financial Investment Company to bridge the gap..."

"Ok?"

When Roy heard this, he immediately understood something.

Sure enough, the lady told me: “Later, there was a huge earthquake, the company went bankrupt completely, and the family owed a huge debt.

On the day the news came, he jumped off a building and committed suicide. His property was almost completely taken over by Plutos Company, but there was still a huge debt that had not been paid off.

Nobles like us cannot afford to work outside to earn money, so we obey the contract and come to serve the legendary mysterious masters."

The pregnant woman said, "My husband was a small businessman in the coffee business. He invested in a railway development and lost all his money.

I couldn't bear to see him sighing all day long, so I took the initiative to look for a job.

First, an entertainment company took a fancy to me and wanted to sign me to become their actor. Then someone else said that with my figure and appearance, maybe I could try going to the mysterious place.

So I was sent here.”

Roy: "..."

They are all debtors.

After the pregnant woman finished speaking, she and the noble lady looked at each other in surprise.

This is actually one of the shareholders of the development company?

"Okay, you go out first."

Roy waved his hand and called in the butler Spalding who was waiting outside to ask him.

As expected, most of the people who come here are driven by monetary contracts.

Some of them were attracted by the good life and the promise of earning a lot of money after working for many years, while others came from poor families and had to sign a contract to sell themselves to the company and come here with the flow.

Others, like the noblewoman, were bankrupt and offered themselves as collateral to fulfill their contract.

The mysterious company Plutos played a crucial role in this.

"Could this be the company founded by the representatives sent by Hell, the subordinates of the Devil Lord Umbers?"

Roy took out the communication crystal and sent a simple message to Shelbury.

The other party replied quickly, it was indeed true.

"But you're mistaken. Plutos isn't owned by just one person. Vizel and Yakinila also have shares. It's just that the Holy Light Messenger under the Lord of Light is so aloof that he doesn't get involved in this."

Roy looked slightly surprised when he heard this.

Shelbury said, "You can use them without worry. They have already sold their souls voluntarily. The moment they entered that snow castle, they were doomed to never return."

Roy asked curiously, "How could this happen? Doesn't the contract state a working period?"

Shellberry said: "The working years you are talking about are before your appearance ages and your physical strength declines.

According to our carefully designed lending model, once the interest reaches a certain scale, it will never be repaid.

After all, they live here, and their food, clothing, and everything else have to be charged for.

The work content also includes a reasonable reward and punishment system. Those who provide poor service will not only have their wages deducted, but will also have to pay a fine.

Even if I accidentally get pregnant by a wizard like you, I'll still have to pay for the abortion or the birth of the baby."

It's simply devilish!

Roy couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

He finally understood why the lady looked so sad.

After all, she was a woman from upper society before she came here, and she vaguely knew part of the truth.

The others had different backgrounds, but they all lacked useful information. They were still dreaming of serving the mysterious man, earning enough money, and then returning to their hometown to live a wealthy life.

Such people either gradually learn the truth and begin to despair and collapse, or accept it submissively and helplessly, or are sold to other castles or even become materials for cruel wizards to conduct various human experiments.

But no matter what the outcome, there is no way to return to the ordinary world.

……

"Okay, all of you please leave. We don't need your service here."

That night, in the castle.

It was snowing heavily outside and it was pitch black.

Inside, there was a blazing bonfire, warm and bright.

Roy did not enjoy himself, but waved away the strangers and started taking things out of the space ring.

"From now on, this place is set as a restricted area and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave.

Your job is to keep an eye on it while I'm out or busy."

"Yes, my lord."

Atidiya received the mission and said excitedly.

"understood."

The dark elf Planjie said listlessly.

She is good at infiltrating various parties to gather intelligence, but she is impatient to guard.

Roy simply arranged the alchemy room, then carried the "Girl's Skull" to the operating table in the middle, aligned the interface on the neck with the pre-prepared cable, and connected the two.

Following that, a nutrition tube was installed for it.

The "Girl's Skull" opened its eyes, and the pair of pupils carved from jade did not actually function as true wizard eyes.

But it is still lifelike.

"I have to stay here for a while. I'll upgrade my Chatlanz chess to level one first, and then I'll follow up on other major projects.

Then comes the matter of organizational testing.

Let me think, what can I do to cope with this ordeal?"
