After that, these Derman people were brought to the interior of the church after eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Before this, these people might have never thought that food and safety were priceless. Born in peace, they had never felt the existence of these things. They all took it for granted until they lost it. Only then did they realize how precious all of these things were.
Inside the church, a bishop of the church was praying to the Seven Gods. This bishop was a very tall and handsome middle-aged man with a resolute face.
After praying, the bishop said to the people below.
"Children of the Seven Gods, the Whip of the Seven Gods has now descended to punish our sins. We must repent in front of the Seven Gods and become good people again." The bishop preached to those people.
Then, the people were brought to a place far away by fully armed knights. There was a towering and imposing building there.
St. Mary's Hotel, this was the famous luxury hotel in Port Pullin. These refugees were confused and didn't know what was going on. But after the people left, the bishop's expression changed drastically. His eyes were full of disdain. He hated the bullshit he said. It was a complete lie, but he couldn't do anything for the sake of his own safety.
The Derman who sneaked in was also confused, but he could only do as he was told.
It turned out that once they entered the hall on the first floor, under the magnificent decorations, a large stage came into view.
Groups of young female refugees were being displayed on the stage for a man with wheat-colored skin to choose from. That person looked very young. He was none other than the Black Dragon Irdele in his human form.
Ever since he had a lot of money and countless wealth, he had built a kingdom that belonged to him with St. Mary's Hotel as his foundation. Here, he was everything.
This time, Gravel led the Northland people to invade the Empire's economic hub, Port Pullin. The Black Dragon Irdele didn't do anything. He simply set up a barrier and blocked countless Northland people. Every day, many Derman people came to seek refuge. He couldn't be happier about this.
Because he knew that he could get as much gold and silver as he wanted, and people were the most important resource to him. He needed a large number of people, which was an important resource for him. Even the bishop had no choice but to obediently serve Irdele with his church as his lackey.
What happened next was a crucial moment for the Derman. This was because everyone had to make a choice here. Stay and become a demon, become a slave, or be eaten directly.
Many people chose to be demons, but becoming a demon was not an easy task. There were more than a hundred people who chose to become demons. Most of them were men, and only two or three were women.
As they stood together, Irdele directly released his magic power. Those with evil souls in their bodies began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. Black spikes emerged from their bodies, wings grew out of their backs, horns grew out of their heads, and tails grew out of their buttocks.
However, less than ten out of a hundred people were like this. The rest of the people instantly exploded in pain and died. These people's fates were no longer in their control. They had completely become Irdele's minions.
The rest of the people who didn't choose to become demons were still rejoicing. However, they couldn't rejoice anymore because some of them were destined to become food.
The Derman who sneaked in suddenly became nervous because he had a mission to report everything here to Gravel. He was one of the leaders of the intelligence organization that Gravel had arranged here. He couldn't become someone's food for no reason.
However, he could still be a little relieved. The young and strong people were all picked as slaves by the knights. Unless they were unwilling, it was equivalent to wanting to become someone's food.
The remaining ugly, old, and children who were not picked were definitely not going to run away. They also wanted to resist, but their deaths were worse than being killed by the Northland people outside.
Therefore, these people were in charge of these places. Under the supervision of the demons, they worked for Irdele and served Irdele. Of course, when Irdele was happy, he would still treat them as food. Of course, the beautiful young girls were also picked out. The service of these people was a little special.
Sharp Knife Dean and Big Abel, who had followed Irdele from the beginning, had also become demons. However, they were stronger and were in charge of managing these demons.
Those who survived could only work hard without complaint, becoming the slaves of others.
Even so, they were still glad. After all, it was better than becoming corpses or food. In this enclosed environment, these people formed a strange society.
It was like a tall tower. Everyone lived in the same area, but the scenery they saw was completely different. The people at the bottom worked non-stop every day. They even fought with other people at the bottom for a piece of bread. The world they saw was the cruelest and most terrifying. In fact, among these people at the bottom, they also looked down on each other. Although they were all slaves at the bottom, the stronger ones felt that they could get an extra piece of bread, but they also looked down on those who could only get half a piece of bread. In Irdele's eyes, there was no difference. They were all slaves and he could kill them if he wanted to.
A little further up were some special slaves who knew how to order things. Or those young and beautiful girls. They were actually fish on the chopping board. They could only be said to be fish that was relatively nourished.
In the middle of the tower, the lackeys of the church were responsible for maintaining order.
In the upper level of the tower, they became the managers of the demons. They enjoyed certain rights and were directly loyal to Irdele's existence. In this enclosed environment, they had a good life.
Of course, the top level was Irdele. To him, there were birds and flowers everywhere. The scenery was beautiful. This was the dragon's nest that he was very satisfied with.
These people thought that the demons were the bad ones. In fact, these demons simply ate human flesh. In contrast, people's hearts were a hundred times more sinister.
The Derman who sneaked in finally escaped after many dangers. He reported the situation here to Gravel himself. After Gravel learned about it, he ordered the army to prepare to withdraw. They had to wait until the ceremony was over before leaving this place completely.
Those beautiful young women who were selected seemed to be living a luxurious life in this enchantment. In fact, it was not that simple.
