Chapter 130: The Beastkin Favored By Misfortune
The moon was blocked by clouds. The night was shrouded in darkness, just like the hearts of the beastkin slaves.
At the front of the large group were more than 100 horse thieves. Many of them carried torches, which illuminated their path. Those who had horses rode the horses, while those that didnt sat in the carriages.
To the 400+ enslaved beastkins, the horse thieves seemed to be the demons that guided them through this path of hell. The enslaved beastkins moved slowly as they carried heavy objects that were originally supposed to be put on the carriages.
The horse thieves said that this was to preserve their strength. They said that they cant walk the whole night and be left without the strength to rob things. As such, they left the tasks to the enslaved beastkins, and they justified it by saying that beastkins were born strong, so a few pieces of heavy luggage should be nothing for them.
Faster! Go faster!
Move! Dont try to slack off! Whoever doesnt move now can continue to not move in the future!
Hurry up! You will be freed when you reach North Wind City!
The horse thieves laughed as they looked at each other. They planned to use the enslaved beastkins as scapegoats. After they robbed North Wind City, they would leave by themselves and leave the enslaved beastkins behind, so the anger felt by the people of North Wind City could only be directed toward the enslaved beastkins.
Most of the enslaved beastkins didnt feel anything. The only thing that they know how to do was to move forward one step at a time. For them, everything was fine as long as they had food to eat and wouldnt starve. They didnt care about anything else.
In the group of enslaved beastkins was a female beastkin with a cloth wrapped around her head. She wore a thick animal hide clothing that wrapped her whole body. Her face was also dirty, and it was hard to see what she really looked like. It was hard to tell whether she was a male or female, and her eyes were filled with sadness.
She was currently carrying three bags on her shoulders- more than anyone else was carrying- and from the ease with how she walked, it was obvious that the bags of wheat werent heavy for her at all.
Today is the third day since Ive been captured, and I still havent found a chance to escape. Damn it! Tess clenched her fists. She heard what the horse thieves had said and knew that they were more likely to die than to live. Why am I always so unlucky?
Tess thought about how unlucky she was and clenched her teeth. After getting out of the Forbidden Mountain Range, she had either been captured or on the way to be captured.
And then Tess got fooled into being enslaved again. Because she already had a slave mark, they were saved from doing the work and forced her to work in the mines along with the beastkins that had lied to her. They gave her hoes made of wood and stone and didnt give any metal items as they were afraid that the enslaved beastkins would rebel.
After working for three days, the mine collapsed, and Tess found an opportunity to escape and became free again.
Before Tess could fully bask in joy and enjoy her freedom, she got captured again. But how?
Well, the night that Tess had escaped, she was too hungry and snuck into a house and into the kitchen and stole some food to eat. And then she fell asleep in the kitchen.
The next day, Tess woke up and found herself tied up, and then she became part of this group of 400+ enslaved beastkins.
Well, the family that had tied her up was also part of the enslaved people. This was because the horse thieves had originally planned to capture the family to enslave them, and Tess was just a pleasant surprise- a free gift. The family had caused trouble the previous day and got killed by the horse thieves.
Actually, the group of 400+ enslaved beastkins had a few dozen enslaved humans. Tess was being treated as an enslaved human as none of her beastkin characteristics had shown.
Tess had been wondering about how the people that had sold her had never realized that she was a female beastkin and kept making her do hard labor. This time, if I can escape, I wont trust anyone anymore, Tess vowed in her heart. I wont believe anything even if there are lots and lots of delicious food. Damn it, when will this unlucky me get good luck?
Authors Notes:
(). What type of beastkin do you think this beastkin favored by misfortune and luck is? Come and take a guess!
Translators Notes:
Im not really sure how to word these four description paragraphs well. This is what I decided on.
Disrespecting here can mean going against the noble, arguing with the noble, refuting the noble, etc.
My finals are done! I can start normal translation again (probably). I would like to translate extras but since I got a lot of chores assigned to me because I have a long ass break. I am also being forced to go and find an actual job because apparently, all you gotta do to get a job is to give a phone call.
