My Immoral Detective System - Chapter 145

Zion didn’t comment on it and pretended to be frightened in front of Martin. He didn’t want to lay out his cards just yet before this unknown man because he still didn’t know whom he could trust. Lia was an exception since she was his first teacher, but even she wasn’t included in his scheme. He could have told her about the existence of the system and how he had transmigrated in this world from a place filled with only humans.

But he still didn’t trust anyone. You could say he was having trust issues at this time, but what could he do other than being cautious? It wasn’t like he could tell the world that he, being a human, had a supernatural thing installed in his mind. Others might think of him as a fool who didn’t know anything better.

And even if others believed his words, he wasn’t sure whether they would covet his system or not. Of course, even if someone wanted to use him, he wouldn’t let that happen anyway, but this step was just a precautionary measure that he wanted to use to make sure that he could survive without any efforts.

That was why it was better at this point to pretend to be a naive human being who was so weak that he could just die without any help.

And sure enough, even Martin didn’t doubt the human standing in front of him.. He even had a trace of sympathy in his eyes as he stared at the human in front of him.

When Zion saw that his little acting skills were working on the man in front of him, he smiled in secret and continued to sob as if he had just witnessed a very drastic scene that made him react like this.

Martin finally sighed and patted his back as he said, “Don’t worry. We will save your master. And since you are her highness’s slave, I won’t treat you without any respect. You’ll forever be her servant, not mine. So you’ll be free to make your decisions.”

That’s right. Even the servants of the people belonging to the high-class society had better standing. The king’s slave was only the servant of the king, and not anyone else. That meant, anyone else didn’t have the authority to order that particular servant around for their benefit.

This was why there was competition even among the servants whenever the people belonging to the high-class society wanted a servant.

Zion was just lucky that he was already Lia’s servant, who was the only daughter alive of Rhesus. So he wasn’t surprised when he heard those words from Martin’s mouth. He nodded and wiped his face and said, “Thank you, sir.”

“Call me Martin.” The man waved his hand and smiled. “I can tell that we have a long way to go.” Then he paused and thought for a while before asking, “What’s your name though?”

Even though the servants were given a number, they also had their own names, just no one cared to ask them about it. So when Martin asked this kind of question, Zion was first surprised because he hadn’t told his name to anyone ever since he came into this world. Not even Lia cared about asking him and kept calling him ‘servant’ all day long.

“Zion.” He decided that he should just stick to his real name this time since Martin was currently in his team.

The man in front of him nodded and said while mounting his horse, “Let’s go. Climb behind me and hold tight. I have decided that we’ll try to find help in the nearest kingdom.” Then Marin scoffed when he thought of the elf queen. “It’s not like anyone will be ready to go against the elves at this time. They are the super races among all the races across the world. No one wants to make them their enemies.”

After saying this, he gestured to Zion to hop on, and they both embarked on their journey. None of them said another word, and even Zion got busy talking to his system.

007 was standing in front of a screen and tilted his head in confusion. “What the heck are you talking about?”

What Zion was talking about? It had been half an hour ever since Martin started galloping on the horse, and since then, Zion had been asking the system about one simple thing. “I’m asking you about the next case! Can’t you understand this?”

The system became even more confused. “That’s what I’ve been telling you all this time! The next case will be available shortly! Why don’t you have even a little bit of patience?”

Zion rubbed his forehead. He was starting to get a migraine because of his system. “Didn’t you just get the notification about the next case?!”

“I did!” The system huffed angrily and crossed his arms on his chest. “That’s what I’m telling you! It’ll be available shortly! That’s what the message said!” The system’s eyes narrowed at his host. “Are you really a detective? Why aren’t you acting like one?”

Zion’s face was filled with black lines hearing this. “Didn’t you just say that you received another message? I was asking about that!” He sighed and shook his head. “Nevermind. Tell me about it when you actually want to! Go away.”

007 opened his mouth as he wanted to say something, but decided against it. After arguing with the host for half an hour, even the system felt like his energy had been sucked away! “Whatever.” After saying this, he left the scene, and the vision in front of Zion finally cleared up.

They were still traveling in the forest at a mild pace. But he could see small houses at the corner of the street. They looked more like houses that belonged to small people. His brows furrowed when he saw that.

Just then, he heard the man driving the horse from the front. “Get ready. We’re going to approach the border soon.”

Zion looked at the small houses that seemed as if they came straight out of the movie ‘Lord of the rings’ as he glanced around. He had a hunch about where exactly they were going. So he didn’t bother asking about where they were and instead nodded while glancing around.

Soon, they reached the border of this new kingdom. There was a huge boundary wall filled with spikes at the top and an iron gate without any bars. That means, no one could see what was on the other side of the boundary wall. Of course, if you happened to be as big as Titans, you could actually look at the things inside the boundary wall.

Martin stopped his horse and tied it to the nearest tree. Then he walked toward the big iron gate that reminded Zion of prison houses in his world. The soldier tapped on the gate with his knuckles and waited.

“Yes?” A deep voice spoke from the inside.

“I want to have a meeting with his majesty under the name of King Rhesus from the Vanne Kingdom.”

The man inside unlocked the door and stepped aside. When Zion heard that voice, he felt like the man inside would be a giant. But when the door finally opened, he saw a small man wearing an iron helmet and a spear in his hand. He looked up with a grave expression on his face and stabilized the helmet on his head before saying, “Welcome to the Potentia Kingdom.”

This was the Potentia kingdom, filled with dwarfs. Zion looked at the little man in front of him in wonder. The voice of the man was so huge and bold that he didn’t think the man inside saying those words would end up showing himself like this. He remembered how he had observed the elves’ powerful demeanor and their world until now, and he didn’t think he would be surprised after seeing them.

But after seeing this small man in front of him, Zion felt the urge to laugh. Such a small man with a huge voice. People from his world would laugh aloud at this. He suppressed his laughter and coughed before averting his eyes.

He was just a human in this world. So he would have to be careful not to offend anyone around here. After all, the humans weren’t welcome here, and he knew perfectly well that even the dwarfs didn’t keep the humans in the eye. He had seen the way this dwarf soldier had looked at him. He could remember a disdainful look in the soldier’s eyes just now.

So that meant this Potentia kingdom also had human servants, and dwarfs didn’t like them that much.

Martin showed his badge and said with a smile on his face, “Can we enter?”

The small man nodded and stepped aside.

After the two of them entered the door, they felt like they entered another world. Up until now, they had seen greenery everywhere, but now, they could see houses and things made out of stones and bricks almost everywhere. Wherever Zion looked, all he could see were dwarfs with hammers hitting the stone blocks on the ground. There were even a few dwarfs walking down the road with humans in tow while others were entering shops and restaurants.
