This is a small gathering of demi-humans in Cangxing City. Although Cangxing City has an open atmosphere and there are many non-human races in the city, most of them are not well received as outsiders.

For professions like adventure groups that frequently venture into dangerous places, it's alright; regardless of whether you're a non-human race or not, as long as you're strong enough, there are still people willing to accept you.

However, many non-human life-skilled professionals do not receive this treatment. Many chambers of commerce have explicitly stated that they will not accept products made by demi-humans, and even products of very high quality will be heavily discounted.

Injustice is commonplace, and non-human races living in the city are already used to it. Edu's maturity beyond his years is also related to this atmosphere.

Even a renowned master brewer like Sabil has to disguise himself to avoid the hassles of daily life.

Edu was well protected; from a very young age, his mother taught him to conceal his non-human characteristics. His demi-human features were not prominent, which, in a way, was Edu's advantage.

After learning the nature of the gathering, Edu also loosened his collar, revealing the feathers around his neck.

Once the feathers on his body were exposed, the malicious gazes around him vanished instantly, replaced by obvious astonishment.

"Winged people?!"

The younger demi-humans merely looked surprised, while the older demi-humans around them all stood up, and the man who looked like a water buffalo was sweating profusely.

Sabir, who brought him there, was also dumbfounded, his tongue sticking out.

The sudden change left Edu somewhat bewildered. Bell, who had a clear view of everyone present, realized Edu's identity, or rather, that his feathers held special significance for these demi-humans.

“I could sense that you were indeed a demi-human before, but I never expected you to be a winged human.”

Sabir's expression was complicated, while Edu was even more bewildered.

He had absolutely no idea what the situation was.

In an instant, the whole yard erupted into chaos, the noise driving Bell crazy.

Although Edu's bloodline is that of a demi-human, he had never been in contact with other demi-humans before today, and he knew nothing about their customs and culture, so he had no idea what was going on.

"Looks like you have absolutely no idea about our world."

It took Sabir quite a while to quiet the room down again, and after learning about Edu's situation, he slowly began to tell Edu the history of the demi-humans.

It is not uncommon for demi-humans to wander outside and have never come into contact with demi-human society, but a winged person who wanders outside is extremely rare.

"We demi-humans originated in the extremely distant past. Our earliest ancestors emerged from the [Galloping Plains], one of the seven most dangerous places in the world, and merged with humans to give birth to the demi-human race."

Demi-humans are the product of the union of extraordinary beings and humans, and are born with physical and magical talents far exceeding those of humans.

Bloodline is the underlying logic for constructing demi-human society. Demi-humans of different bloodlines have different social roles, thus creating different social statuses.

Subhumans with herbivorous animal characteristics are called "Numin". Most "Numin" choose livelihood-related professions. Their bloodline influences their personality, so that there are very few violent individuals among the "Numin".

Those demi-humans with characteristics of carnivorous animals like tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves are called "Teethed Samurai." They are born with a stronger fighting spirit and are mostly good candidates for combat-related professions.

【Teeth Attendants】are the military force in demi-human society. They guard cities, explore dangerous places, but more importantly, they protect the royal family.

Bloodlines divide the demi-human society into distinct classes, with the so-called royal family, the Winged People, standing at the top of this social pyramid.

The combat talent of the Winged People is not necessarily stronger than that of the Tooth Servant, and their skills in life and professions may not surpass those of the Common People.

However, bloodline grants the Winged People power, and only they can use the King's Sword, a secret treasure of the demi-human race. This is the foundation upon which the demi-human race stands in the world.

"So in a sense, you were born an aristocrat. Two hundred years ago, all of us should have obeyed your orders unconditionally."

Sabir slowly shook his head, quite dissatisfied with the fact that people in the demi-human society were divided into different classes based on bloodline.

Theoretically speaking, the "Numin" provide various resources for the demi-human society through their labor. These resources support the "Chishi" so that they can wholeheartedly train themselves. In turn, the "Chishi" will wholeheartedly protect the "Numin" in times of crisis.

However, the status distinctions brought about by bloodline have become more complex over time than they seem.

In Sabir's childhood memories, commoners had to stop and greet the wielders when they saw them. Most of the wielders would ignore them, but some wicked ones would make fun of them.

Although the upper-class winged people strictly forbid the Tooth Servant from disturbing the lives of the common people at will, the winged people will not interfere as long as the Tooth Servant does not kill or maim the common people.

As for the common people complaining to higher authorities, they never considered it; in the eyes of the servants, the common people didn't have the guts. They were all pushovers; even if they were bullied, they would forget about it soon enough.

Whether they truly forgot or not, the Tooth Servant believed they should forget.

Chapter 107 Her attitude finally became respectful, and she clearly called out...

Sabir spent his childhood in the city of demi-humans, the Six-Winged City.

His entire family, going back many generations to their ancestors, were the exclusive servants of a winged royal family, nominally responsible for protecting the royal family.

But Sabir was an anomaly among the Teeth, lacking the wildness expected of a Teeth; instead, he was more like a commoner.

Sabir loved farming and weaving, and hated wielding weapons all day. He always wanted to be a farmer or a weaver.

But Sabir's family would not allow Sabir to become a non-combat professional.

For them, becoming a combat-type professional is a testament to their family's honor and a symbol of their own status. The weapon-wielding serpent servants can comfortably enjoy the greetings and apologies of the commoners.

As a child, Sabir couldn't understand these things. He didn't like playing with the other children his age, but preferred to hang out with the children from the common people's homes.

Children don't have so many problems in their world; they can have a lot of fun with their friends.

But as time went by and they grew older, Sabir's friends gradually changed.

"Sabil, my dad says I'm all grown up now, and I have to bow to you when I see you. I can't play around like I used to without a care in the world."

'Sabir, I can't come to your house anymore; it's rude of me.'

'Sabil…'

Sabir felt lost as his childhood playmates changed one after another, and as he grew older, he had fewer and fewer playmates in the Six-Winged City.

These changes left Sabir feeling increasingly confused, with an unnamed doubt lingering in his mind, until one day when Sabir went out on the street and met his best friend.

She was his best playmate, a nag with adorable sheep horns. She was naturally lively and very skilled at knitting cashmere; Sabir and she always had endless things to talk about.

Sabir even imagined marrying her, and every time he thought about it, a happy smile would appear on Sabir's dog's face, and he would stick out his tongue.

When he saw her on the street, Sabir greeted her very warmly.

But Sabir did not receive a response. He saw the other person startled at first, then his eyes dimmed, and he moved his lips as if to say something, but remained silent.

Sabir was puzzled, but she eventually became respectful, bowing and calling out to him:

"Mr. Tyson."

When a playmate leaves, it always begins with a change in how they address you. At first, you call him 'Sabil' with extra affection, but later you only call him by his surname, 'Tyson,' which symbolizes a tooth.

Soon after, Sabir learned of her engagement to a commoner.

Sabir knew that even if the new Winged King issued a decree allowing free marriage, his family would never allow him to marry a commoner. An ordinary, talentless commoner could never marry into their family.

Later, Sabir also got engaged. Without his knowledge, the adults said he would marry a girl from another family of tooth servants, who was said to be a very strong blonde lady, a perfect match for his big white dog.

But Sabir, who had been living in a daze, finally decided what he wanted to do.

He didn't go crazy or cause a scene. He simply picked up the spare change he had saved up over the years, packed a few clothes, and left the Six-Winged City, which was full of demi-humans, all by himself.

News was scarce in Six-Winged City, and most of the demi-humans refused to accept information from the outside world. Before leaving Six-Winged City, Sabil did not know what the outside world would be like. It might be dangerous, but he did not care.

He felt out of place in the city. In Six-Winged City, he was often ridiculed by other servants who said he wasn't a real man and lacked the courage and passion to fight.

But the moment he left Sixwings City, Sabir felt that he was much stronger than those tooth servants who trained in the city all day and had never left Sixwings City in more than ten years.

"More than seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye."

With a sigh, Sabir opened the bottle of wine he had brought, and the rich aroma immediately filled the entire courtyard.

During the time Sabir recalled, Edu also became acquainted with the other demi-humans in the courtyard, who told him various things about them.

Edu discovered that the demi-humans here were actually very friendly, just a little shy.

Some demi-humans, like Edu, have never entered demi-human society, but their parents or ancestors were demi-humans who left Sixwing City.

Of course, the older demi-humans present, especially those who reacted strongly to Edu's feathers, all came from the Six-Winged City.

In their time, Six-Winged City was still very conservative, and there were very few demi-humans who had wandered outside.

The period when Sabir left Six-Winged City was when a large number of demi-humans left Six-Winged City, because the Winged King who took office at that time was very enlightened.

"Don't think about those troubling things. It might actually be a good thing that this little guy hasn't been exposed to that stuff in Six-Winged City."

To draw everyone's attention back, Sabir brought over a large oak barrel containing a large amount of ordinary wine.

He tossed the bottle into the oak barrel, and the magical spirit slowly seeped out, blending with the ordinary wine.

There are quite a few demi-humans here, and if Sabil, as a senior winemaker, wants everyone to enjoy the wine, he has to show his true skills.

"Watch closely, everyone. This is my specialty."

Sabir placed his hand less than ten centimeters from the wine, and magic slowly flowed from his palm, merging into the wine.

Although it's a life skill profession, a high-level brewer is no less capable than a combat-based profession like a high-level warrior. Sabir has simply moved his battlefield to the field of brewing.

As a master brewer, Sabir is familiar with all sorts of brewing techniques, and he also has various magical abilities to manipulate the liquor, just like he does now.

Sabir can imbue the entire barrel of beer in front of him with magical effects and the taste of premium craft beer while preserving as much of the magical effect of the original bottle as possible.

“Young Edu, you may not know this, but I was once the sole supplier of wine for a banquet of three thousand people, which earned me the title of senior brewer.”

Sabir boasted about his past, distributing drinks to everyone present, including Bell, the bald rat, who received a large glass.

The other demi-humans present also brought out the dishes they had prepared. They were all life-skilled professionals; they weren't very good at fighting, but when it came to putting together a grand feast, they were experts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us celebrate this night!"
