I like Adventurer and stuff ... but political stuff .... pfff do I look like Abraham Lincoln ?
Well well well what could I say except that this room feel way too tense, I am currently in the council room to speak about the slavery matter, as expected they cant abolish slavery like that and I don''t expect them to do so, in fact, I don''t have anything about slavery but there must be some rules.
|We are all here to speak about slavery in our kingdom, sir Apocalypse here asked us to reform it and I''ll ask of you to listen to his word without interrupting as it would be both disrespectful and really really dangerous for your health.|(The king)
As the king introduce me I stand up and bow like a Japanese would, N.E.V.E.R will someone make me lower my knee, I face the ministers and the prime minister, who I let know by my gaze that I know what he did, I clear my throat and start speaking.
|At first my scheming friends I would like to thank all of you to have taken your time to listen to me, Apocalypse Vermillion, to tell the truth, I did not expect so much of you to come to something like this. So as I said I am Apocalypse Vermillion and currently, the only SSS adventurer existing and I came here to speak about slavery. Most of you must think ''How dare a petty commoner speak to us like that, does he have no shame'' and the like and I''ll say bluntly I don''t respect any of you and if I was to pass by you in the street don''t even hope that I''ll bow to greet you.
Now that I said that let''s begin, I won''t ask for slavery to be abolished but I have some conditions :
-No war slaves unless they are traitors and when I say traitor I mean someone from your side who consciously and willingly hinder you winning.
-No slave breeding, the children have nothing to do with their parents and when I say, children, I mean everyone who is under 15 years old.
-No child slavery since children would grow up twisted if done so and since I''ll probably snap your neck if I saw you make a child carry a shitload of stuff or make them do more ''adult'' thing.
-A little change in debt slave, instead of them being slaves for life just make them work enough time so they can repay their debt and have enough money to start a new life, not too much of course, and of course, they''re not ordinary slaves so they are not sex slaves or disposable slaves.
-The right for the slave to marry, of course, that won''t free them but their children won''t be slave even if the two side that marries are slave and they must be able to take care of their children properly, if they do not then I snap your neck but if they are unfit to be parents, you know violent dunkhard or something like that, the slave owner must take care of the baby like it was his child until they are old enough, like prevously said 15, and of course you can''t use it as a way to make them debt slave.
-You must attend to their good health and mind.
-For the criminal slaves if it is just stealing then don''t be a dick and make sure not to make their life to harsh, as for murderer and rapist, do what you want, especially to the rapist, make sure they suffer.
-Also, Demi-human are to be considered like human are therefore all I stated must be applied to them too.
And if you think it is dangerous for the economy and stuff like that just think how profitable would a slave be, if instead of sick and depressed he was healthy and cheerful, believe me first your country would gain fame for being that open-minded, then it would be easier to look at and could even give the opportunity to have commerce with the Demi-human country and even more, you city would attract more people since there would be less dying child in front of you.
Believe me, you have much to gain with this in the long term.|(Apocalypse)
Gosh that was long but that was necessary since at first, they gave me a look as if I was crazy but with the last explanation they seem to have understood but then the prime minister spoke up.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
|But wouldn''t that lower our production as there would be less worker surely you can''t deny that.|(prime minister)
|While indeed I can understand why your belly would lose to that, believe me, a spirited and healthy man is worth ten of your current slaves.|(Apocalypse)
Yeah he is way too fat to be healthy and plus his eyes reeks of a corrupted noble so I won''t hold back at your little wordplay I was not known as [The fucking snake tong] for nothing.
|Hum hum, sir Apocalypse while I understand your grudge with sir Ziron please keep it for yourself|(King)
|This in fact has nothing to do with the grudge I may or may not have against him it is just a habit of mine to try to piss off someone with superior authority to test if he deserves it, as far as I am concerned I am rather satisfied with this council since it does not seem to be filled with mind-blowing idiots, well I know I''ll get a few more dagger in the chest in the next few day but that''s all.|(Apocalypse)
The only answer I was given was silence .... a long and painful silence.
|Well not that it matters , now honored ministers I say goodbye| As I pass next to the prime minister who was next to the door I put my hand on his shoulder and whisper to him |Do something like last time and it won''t only be soldier corpses the hunter will find|(Apocalypse)
I exit and I am greeted by Eali''s mother in maid clothing, gosh it just doesn''t feel right.
|How was the meeting sir Apocalypse ?|(Isolia)
|It went good, and seriously it''s weird to be served by my, I hope, soon to be mother-in-law so .... haaaa well whatever I say you won''t listen anyway, just if I ever marry your daughter you must really stop that , I can understand you are grateful but it was my own selfishness that saved you and it could be the same thing that will kill you so I at least want you to see me as an equal if not someone superior.|(Apocalypse)
She tilted her neck to the side and stared at me like she had seen a ghost, gosh I really need to punch something right now dealing with nobles is pain and clearly not something suited for me.
|Of all the human I met you are by far the strangest, almost as if you saw everything as weak but at the same time too powerful, I almost wonder if you aren''t an elf in disguise.|(Isolia)
|What makes one a human ? Is it his blood ? The shape of his ears ? His lifespan ? I''m going to tell you something you won''t hear from someone from this world but you would hear from someone who comes from a world where not even goblin existed, ... only human too much of them actually. In my case I think that none of what I previously stated make someone human, the only thing that makes someone human is here, our heart, a human is not only a short-eared man, no a human is when several people, whatever they are called, are together their heart beating as one and they breath warms our mind, their laugh is ours and ours is theirs when one dies we all cry and when one is born we all smile. ... Anyway I really need to punch something so I am going to take a little quest could you tell Eali please ?|(Apocalypse)
Isolia nodded while looking as if she was in deep thought, without caring I exit the castle and go to a back alley and threw up rainbows, goddammit did I really said such a cheesy line ? well I believe that but saying it out loud is somewhat weird, haaaaaaaa goddammit.
I go to the guild hall and search for a quest, god I don''t how I can read that but I can and it''s good for me, well well well hmmmm this one should do the trick, some kobolds running rampant and need to be taught a bit of manners.... through death ...
|Ha it''s you, Ellen, how are you and Idgard doing ?|(Apocalypse)
|My my my if it isn''t our 100 man-killer who looks way too old for his real age, hehehe, Yeah we are doing alright but seriously couldn''t you have been easier on them I mean it has been one week since that happened and I heard all the guard that got there including Idgar are still throwing up.|(Ellen)
|Meh, when someone stabs you in the heart you''ll understand why I didn''t go easy on them, anyway I wanted to take that quest along with Eali.|(Apocalypse)
|So a Kobold subjugation quest for your party, mhhh you should think of a name, I mean you are THE higher ranked adventurer and your party isn''t even named it''s quite the shame, ho and also the S rank adventurer will come in the next month to have a meeting with you.|(Ellen)
|I''ll think about it but now it''s punching bag time, GUIE GUIE GUIE GUIE|(Apocalypse)
Well .... that was a weird-ass laugh, anyway I went out my way to grab Eali who has been studying magic along with Allicia and we went to make our way to the forest.
|S-so Apo-calypse ... what are we doing .... this time ?|(Eali)
It wasn''t because she was scared that she spoke like that, I think I mean a trip at 70 km/h carried like a potato sack must be pleasant. I however answered with a maniacal laugh.
|Going to punch some mutt in the face to relieve stress ... Kobolds I mean, not dogs, dogs are cute|(Apocalypse)
We soon found our way to a kobold settlement and we stormed through it ... well more like I was punching the shit out of those two-legged dogs faced monster while Eali was throwing water ball and wind blade at their face, in just two hours there was around 60 body lying on the ground and blood splattered all around us.
|Haaaaaaaa that really hit the spot, not the spilled organs of course but fighting and putting your life on the line is really thrilling I could get addicted to it. Guess I am not meant to be Abraham Lincoln.|(Apocalypse)
