"My name is Bai Xia! Alah Alaf! All of you remember that! That's your new master's name! I'll give you lowly livestock three seconds to remember! One, two, three! So, what's your new master's name?!" Ellie pointed at the crowd below with one hand on her hip and shouted, while her teammates looked bewildered, not knowing what Ellie was trying to do.
"..." However, the crowd below still wore expressions of terror, almost all looking at each other, no one daring to speak.
"Oh, ho... It seems your ears aren't working well. That's a shame then. I don't need livestock with bad hearing. Hydra... these hearing-impaired beasts can be your after-dinner snack! Eat as much as you want!"
Ellie waved her hand in displeasure, and the other eight heads of Hydra, which Ellie was stepping on, cooperatively lowered their heads, looking as if they were ready to devour someone at any moment.
"Alah Alaf!!!" Someone, driven by fear, took the lead and shouted, followed by others in succession. Soon, tens of thousands of people present were all chanting "Alah Alaf."
Ellie immediately ordered Hydra to stop, then waved her hand to signal for silence. "Very good! But there's still one thing I'm not satisfied with! As livestock, how dare you address your new master by her name?! You should call me Lord Bai Xia Liyi!" Ellie continued to scold relentlessly.
As soon as Ellie finished speaking, out of fear, everyone immediately shouted in unison, "Lord Bai Xia Liyi!" Only then did Ellie reveal a very satisfied smile, and again signaled for silence.
"Very good... that's more like it. You must always remember! You are the livestock that I, Lord Bai Xia Liyi, painstakingly snatched from these damned Dragonfolk! Everything about you belongs to me! However... I am not like those barbaric Dragonfolk. I will not treat you as food, nor will I take your lives! I only need your labor! The only value you have in my eyes is your insignificant labor! Do you understand?!" Ellie continued to roar.
"So that's it... I never thought Miss Bai Xia would come up with such a method." It was then that Arute understood why the usually gentle and kind Miss Bai Xia's attitude had suddenly become so harsh.
"Huh? What exactly is going on?" The Uncle and Livia-san still looked bewildered. Sierxia still maintained her calm demeanor, being a skeleton, it was hard to tell what she was thinking if she didn't speak.
After Ellie finished shouting, the crowd below immediately responded, indicating they understood.
"Very good... Now then, I'm going to pack all of you up and take you back to my territory! Soon, I will have my subordinate open a teleportation gate, and the other side of the gate is my territory! Once you arrive at my territory, I will guarantee your personal safety, after all, I still need you to work hard for me! I can guarantee this with my name. If something unexpected happens to you after you go through, my name can be written backward! Sierxia! Open the teleportation gate!" Ellie shouted at Sierxia.
Sierxia nodded, quietly muttered, "I am not your subordinate," and then directly opened a teleportation gate in front of everyone. Perhaps to allow many people to pass through simultaneously, Sierxia made the entrance of the teleportation gate very large, which seemed to also increase Sierxia's MP consumption.
Seeing the suddenly appearing pitch-black teleportation gate, no one dared to enter, still maintaining expressions of fear and unease.
"Hmph hmph hmph hmph! I'm warning you! My subordinate cannot maintain this teleportation gate for too long. After the gate closes, those who remain here! To avoid waste, they can only become snacks for my pet Hydra!" Ellie said with a thoroughly villainous smile on her face.
As soon as Ellie finished speaking, the people rushed into the teleportation gate, pushing and shoving. Arute quickly moved out of the way, but seeing their panicked and jostling behavior, he was about to remind them to be careful not to push each other to avoid a stampede.
"Hey! You unruly beasts! I call you livestock, and you really lose all semblance of humanity, huh? Rushing so frantically, are you trying to reincarnate?! Line up and go through! Your pushing and shoving annoys me! All of you, line up!!!" Ellie, of course, knew what she was doing. Before the situation could descend into chaos, she immediately stopped them.
Upon hearing Ellie's words, Arute immediately relaxed.
"Arute! Uncle! What are you still standing around for?! Go over there and organize everyone first!" Ellie saw Arute and the Uncle both showing relieved smiles and shouted at them, somewhat displeased, implying that if they weren't so unhelpful, she wouldn't have to be the bad guy.
"Yes, Lord Bai Xia!" Arute and the Uncle comically stood at attention and replied to Ellie, then followed the crowd into the teleportation gate.
Seeing the orderly line moving into the teleportation gate, Ellie also breathed a sigh of relief. This initial plan was more than half complete, and the course of history should be like this too!
Uh... Is this why among human nations, only the Slane Theocracy believes in the Six Great Gods, while others only believe in the four great gods? The God of Life and the God of Death are both bad people, so no one would consider them saviors!
Hmph... Is that so? Uh... It's very possible, Ellie thought to herself, but it doesn't really matter.
After a long time, Sierxia indeed became exhausted, yet almost a third of the people remained there. Watching the teleportation gate disappear, those left behind were almost in despair. By this time, Ellie had already jumped down from Hydra's head.
Although she didn't have acrophobia, standing on that slithery snake head was indeed not very comfortable, and she was wearing a skirt. Even with safety shorts, she still somewhat resisted people looking up her skirt.
At this moment, Ellie was about to act like a villain again to scare those who were left behind, but just as she was about to start scolding, a rather young-looking woman directly rushed over and hugged Ellie's leg.
"Please! Lord Bai Xia Liyi! Have mercy! Have mercy!"
She hadn't even started her villain act yet, and someone couldn't take it anymore?
Uh... Should she be happy about this situation? She felt a bit subtle. Actually, there's nothing shameful about being afraid of death, so Ellie didn't look down on this woman.
However, to maintain her villainous facade, she could only slightly inconvenience this woman, Ellie thought. Then, Ellie, who had intended to gently kick the woman away... hesitated after hearing the woman's next words.
"Please, let... let my daughter go through! I don't care what happens to me! Please..."
What should she do? Although Arute and the Uncle had gone through first, Livia-san and Sierxia were still there, both looking on with interest, wanting to see how she would handle this situation.
Uh... This is a bit difficult, Ellie thought.
