Having said this, the girl proudly straightened her miserable chest, making it look even flatter...
Irons touched his nose and explained, "Well... I have indeed heard of the name of the Half-Blood Gang, but since I don't have any difficulties in life, I have never had any contact with them."
"Hmm... isn't it difficult? It's rare for a person to be able to get this far. After all, there are not many ways to get blood food in the Demon King's Castle..."
"……" Hearing the mixed-race girl's puzzled expression, Ain immediately cried out inwardly that something was wrong. He still didn't know much about the living conditions of the vampires in the Demon King's City, and what he said just now was basically a mistake.
However, this mixed-race girl obviously did not have such meticulous thinking and vigilance. She just smiled and no longer paid attention to the mistakes in details. What she cared more about was that Ains was a so-called compatriot like her.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you're doing well now. Demons always strive for higher positions. It's better to hang out with fellow countrymen than to fight alone. Are you interested in joining our mixed-blood gang?"
Irons breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the mixed-race girl didn't care about his mistake just now.
At the same time, he pretended to be embarrassed and asked, "Joining the Mixed-Blood Gang... won't affect my current job..."
Irons's embarrassed expression caused other mixed-bloods nearby to interrupt.
"Hey, what kind of job do you have now? Is it that good? Why don't you join our mixed-blood gang? We are all compatriots and can take care of each other!"
"Yeah, you work by yourself and still have to worry about getting blood food. If you join our mixed-blood gang, the boss will have plenty of ways to get blood food for us. Isn't this much more stable than working?"
"Hey, compatriots, don't hang out with those outsiders, come to the Mixed Blood Gang. You look pretty good, maybe you can pick up some girls in the gang~"
"Hahaha~"
After the joke, all the mixed-bloods started laughing, making the mixed-blood girl's expression become embarrassed.
"All of you, behave yourself! Don't teach the newbies bad lessons!"
Facing the mixed-bloods' encouragement, Ains was very considerate and pretended to be a little excited, asking, "It would be great to be able to get blood food steadily...
But I am now working as a servant in the big monster's house, and my life is not bad...Um, can I go and help check the situation inside? If the conditions are really that good, then I will quit my job. "
"Ah~" Several mixed-bloods shook their heads with speechless expressions, "You are too narrow-minded, okay, we'll take you to take a look inside.
What's the point of being a servant under a big monster? Wait until you go to the gang and see the boss, and you will know what a real big monster is!
Moreover, the boss never treats us as servants, but as brothers and sisters, as compatriots! Isn't this much better than being servants? "
As they spoke, several mixed-bloods enthusiastically pulled Ains and prepared to leave the place.
This surprised Irons a little, and he quickly reminded: "Wait! I have companions!"
"what?"
The group of vampire half-bloods were slightly stunned, and turned to look at Finia who had been silently serving as a background. Only then did they notice the foreign maid standing with her "compatriots".
In response, the mixed-race girl asked with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "...Is she a servant with you?"
"Yes, she's my colleague. We're here together to do something. Can I take her with me to the Half-Blood Gang?"
In response to Irons' request, the mixed-blood girl shook her head and suggested, "Well, the mixed-blood gang doesn't welcome people who are not compatriots to join... Otherwise, why don't you let your companions go back first?"
Good man, are you so xenophobic? Irons couldn't help but frown, and his impression of the mixed-blood gang was slightly reduced.
"Okay... I'll go talk to my companion."
Irons smiled apologetically, came to Finia's side, and whispered: "Finia, this mixed-blood gang seems to be very xenophobic."
“Yes, they don’t welcome any monsters that are not vampire hybrids to enter…” Finia nodded, and then suggested: “But, for me, this is not a big problem.
I can hide my breath and follow behind you, Master Ains, which will also ensure your safety."
"Hmm... are you sure that you can hide like this without being discovered by others? Especially the leader of the mixed-blood gang, the vampire named Constantine should be quite strong, right?"
Finia just said calmly: "That's not a problem, Lord Ains."
"Oh~ You are very confident in your ability to hide~"
"No, it's because even if they noticed that I was hiding, they wouldn't dare to say anything."
"..."
Seeing that Ains looked speechless, Finia corrected him, "It was just a joke, Lord Ains. I am indeed very confident in my ability to hide."
"...Now that you are like this, I have no confidence in you..."
Chapter 152
Bloodline theory is not a good thing
Although he felt a little guilty about Finia's joke, Irons still asked Finia to hide her breath and follow him.
Afterwards, he followed the members of the Half-Blood Gang to the Half-Blood Gang, but before going to the Half-Blood Gang, this group of half-bloods needed to hand over the food they had obtained to the merchants who hired them.
The place where the goods are delivered is called the Dark Alley by these gang members.
Following the half-bloods on the way to the dark alley, Irons continued to ask for information: "By the way, what is the philosophy of our half-blood gang?"
Hearing Ains's question, the mixed-bloods immediately became interested and shouted, "The philosophy of our mixed-blood gang is to accept and help those compatriots who have been excluded by the vampires!
Those pure-blooded bastards don't agree with us, so we should just be self-reliant! Let those pure-blooded vampires see that the bastards they look down upon can live well!"
"That's right, those bastards who pursue pure blood kicked us out of the territory just because we have blood of other races in us. They even don't allow us to see our parents."
"Alas... I almost don't remember what my mother looks like, and I haven't seen my father since I was born... Those vampires didn't allow my mother to take me to find my father. They even kicked me out of the territory after I became an adult and didn't allow me to see my mother."
"Alas... I am the same. I was thinking if I could take this opportunity to find my relatives, but after so many years of searching, I still can't find them..."
"What do you mean we can't find it? Aren't we? Although we have no blood relationship, under the leadership of the Mixed-Blood Gang, all of us are relatives and compatriots!"
"By the way, newcomer, were you also kicked out of the territory by the vampires because you reached adulthood?"
Hearing the question, Ains immediately nodded and said, "Ah, yes... After I got out, I realized that life was not easy..."
"Tsk, it's all because of those damn pure-blooded bloodline of the vampires... If I could, I'd rather not have this bloodline!"
"That's it!"
"Pure-bloods are all a bunch of bastards!"
Amid the chatter of the vampire half-bloods, Irons led them into the so-called dark alley.
The reason why it is called a dark alley is that the alley is shielded by the wider eaves on the walls on both sides, making the already not very bright light even dimmer.
So much so that even during the day, dark alleys still need torches to illuminate.
Wandering in the dark alley, Ains followed the group of vampire hybrids around him while looking at the environment of the dark alley.
Just like every city has those dark corners that are usually invisible, at this moment, the dark alley that Ains walked through with the vampire half-bloods was the dark side of the inner city of the Demon King's City that ordinary people could not see.
The floors and stone bricks are always black because of the humidity, and the moss on them is smooth but stubborn after being worn down by people walking on them again and again. If you are not careful, you may slip if you step on them.
There were rustling and squeaking sounds, and from the corner of my eye I could occasionally notice mice jumping out of the corner, watching them jump out from an unnoticed crack in the wall, and then disappear into another unnoticed crack in the wall.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The monsters that can roam in the dark alleys may have something in common with these rats to some extent.
In addition to the group of vampire half-bloods that Ains followed, there were also many monsters wandering around in the dark alley with nothing to do.
Looking at the uniform clothes or labels on the chests of these monsters, one can tell that they are a group of gang members just like the Half-Blood Gang.
This group of gang members gathered together, some were chatting and laughing, some were arguing and cursing, and the noisy voices made the dark alley more lively.
However, this kind of excitement obviously did not belong to this group of vampire half-bloods. After observing for a long time, Irons found that the vampire half-bloods he followed were strangely out of tune with the other demons around them.
The entire mixed-blood gang is like a small society isolated from the external environment.
Among these vampire hybrids, there are some who are cheerful and good at speaking, but even the most talkative ones almost never speak a word to anyone outside of their gang.
This implicit sense of exclusion also makes other gang members stay away from the mixed-blood gang with a look of fear and bad luck when they see them.
Regarding the phenomenon he observed, Irons asked the mixed-race girl: "By the way, don't we have any close allies in the mixed-race gang?
I see there are so many gangs here, and there are many of them communicating with each other or having conflicts with each other, but... it seems that no gang is willing to contact us."
In response, the mixed-race girl showed a matter-of-fact expression and said, "There is nothing to contact. Anyway, they are completely different from us. We just need to support each other as compatriots. There is no need to communicate with other gangs at all."
"totally different?"
Irons couldn't help but frown, obviously disagreeing with what the mixed-race girl said.
If we use the special nature of being mixed-blood gangs as an excuse to show how the mixed-blood gang is different from other gangs, it is obviously not convincing enough.
Because mixed-bloods are basically common in the Demon King's Castle. Even if a demon looks pure on the outside, if you really trace its roots, you can basically find some mixed-blood history.
So, with a hint of curiosity, Ains asked, "Is there really any difference? Is it because we are all mixed-blood? But there are many mixed-blood demons in the Demon King's Castle..."
Hearing what Ains said, another half-blood showed a hint of displeasure on his face and retorted, "Huh? Half-bloods are different from half-bloods, right?
What kind of mixed blood are they? What kind of mixed blood are we? We have blood in us..."
"Cough cough!!!"
Just as the half-blood was about to speak his true thoughts, he was immediately suppressed by the half-blood girl's cough and glare.
Even the other mixed-blood gang members around them showed a hint of strangeness on their faces, and an inexplicable atmosphere of awkwardness enveloped the mixed-blood gang.
When Irons saw this scene, he understood something. Although these half-bloods didn't say anything, their silence had exposed their true thoughts.
Although this group of half-bloods openly reject pure-bloods, they feel superior to the bloodline flowing in their bodies.
The sense of superiority brought by their vampire bloodline makes them not think that they are the same as other demons who are also mixed-blood.
That's why groups like the Half-Blood Gang came into being. After all, there are so many half-blood demons in the Demon King's City, why would only the half-bloods of the vampire race gather together and form a half-blood gang?
Obviously, although this group of mixed-bloods were excluded by the blood clan group, the deep-rooted bloodline theory still affects this group of mixed-bloods.
This makes them full of resentment towards the pure-blooded vampires on the one hand, but on the other hand, they are extremely dependent on and value the vampire bloodline flowing in their bodies.
The final situation is what the Mixed Blood Gang is like now. In the melting pot of monster races like Demon King's City, they have created an exclusive and racist organization.
What's interesting is that this group of mixed-blood gang members are ostracized by the vampires, so, on the surface, they want to act against the pure-blood vampires.
They pretended to resist the vampire bloodline in them, and acted as if they, a group of mixed-bloods, could live well even if they were rejected by the vampires.
However, the internal logic behind the formation of their gang is due to their emphasis on and pride in their own bloodline.
This contradiction between superficial behavior and inner thoughts created the scene just now, making this gang absurd like black humor in Irons' eyes.
Of course, Irons did not choose to expose these unspeakable thoughts in front of these mixed-race gang members.
Irons looked at the group of mixed-blood gang members who were in silence and embarrassment, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about the mixed-blood gang leader named Constantine.
Does the leader of the mixed-race gang know that the gang he maintains is actually based on a contradictory concept?
Chapter 153
Big monsters are also very normal
Although the momentary awkwardness and silence brought some unpleasant episodes to this group of mixed-bloods, under the mixed-blood girl's jokes, everyone ignored the conversation that had just happened.
However, that kind of relaxed atmosphere will definitely never return.
In the same depressing atmosphere, the members of the mixed-blood gang came to the merchant who employed them and handed over the food that they had bought by force to the merchant to complete the transaction.
Irons watched all this silently, while observing the surrounding situation.
In addition to the members of the Half-Blood Gang delivering goods to the merchants, other gang members also have their own employers. After a careful look, Irons found that nearly eight merchants were using the method of hiring gang members to buy these foods from the public.
Looking at this group of unscrupulous merchants disrupting the market, Irons' expression became gloomy, and he murmured in a low voice: "Finia, are you there?"
As soon as the words fell, that calm and confident voice with an incomparable sense of security appeared in Ains' ears: "Yes, Lord Ains, I am always here."
"Um... do you know all these businesses that take food from gang members?"
"I know them all, Lord Irons. Many of these businesses have grown under my watch. Lord Irons, do you want to deal with them?"
"Of course, but not now. Write them all down for me first."
"I will follow your instructions, Master Irons."
As Finia finished her words, the members of the Mixed-Blood Gang completed their delivery tasks and returned to Irons.
"Come on, new guy, we've finished our work, let's go back to the gang. Tsk~ I've been standing on the street for a whole day, and I've been craving a cold drink of blood food~"
"Hehe, I made some extra money today. Maybe we can also get some good wine. Blood and food go well with wine. The more you drink, the better~"
Irons listened silently to the chatter of these mixed-bloods, and a trace of curiosity emerged in his heart. He walked to the mixed-blood girl and asked, "Well, can I ask, for this job you do, how much money can these merchants pay you in a day?"
The mixed-race girl didn't hide anything and answered directly: "I don't know the exact amount. It was the gang leader who negotiated with the group of merchants. We just followed the gang leader's orders."
