Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Successful Transaction
Oberto, who originally wanted to send the person away quickly, stopped immediately when he heard ‘seeing the goods”.
The light is very dim, and the light source driven by spar in the distance can’t illuminate the place at all. The faint firelight only outlines the blurred outline of the person in front of him.
The voice of the man who came out of the shadows was mechanical and stiff, and every word he said did not fluctuate, and he could not even hear emotions.
This kind of deliberate cover-up did not surprise Oberto too much. It was not a day or two in the slave trade. He had seen too many people with secrets.
It’s just that it doesn’t feel good to look at this person.
For some reason, Oberto felt that under the fluttering brim, not only a pair of eyes were looking at him.
He said politely, “If the guests have requirements, of course we will meet them”, but his strong curiosity prompted him to take a step forward quietly.
The hand behind his back caressed the torch not far away without a trace.
In the air, the magic power swirled, stirring the flames.
In the throbbing firelight, a trace of silk light inadvertently penetrated into the face that seemed to be cut off from the light.
The light of the flame was instantly swallowed by the unknown.
The black mist slowly dissipated, and a wave like ink flooded his consciousness.
He felt particularly irritable for no reason, as if there were a lot of small voices whispering in his ear.
Oberto wanted to listen carefully to this unknown voice and to distinguish it carefully, but was unable to do so.
Those voices are like black vines, spreading in my mind little by little.
Cold.
Quiet.
Fanciful.
Can’t understand.
Just for a while, Oberto was dizzy, and the strong irritability made his stomach very uncomfortable, and the urge to vomit was almost uncontrollable.
“Don’t try to peep at things you don’t understand.”
Oberto listened to the voice coming from the front and broke out in cold sweat.
This cold and mysterious power seems to be able to shred his consciousness and fill his body with chaos.
Who is he?
The royal power from the royal city of Yas or the lineage of the kingdom’s nobles?
Or… just a visitor who just passed by?
Whoever he is, he is by no means a good person.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with the effect. Oberto not only expressed fear and sincerity that he would give him the time to see the goods, but also was in awe of himself.
It was actually an accident.
At that time, Lulutis was introducing Lu Yu about the Yalong bloodline and the inferior bloodline.
Because Lulutis was lying on Lu Yu’s shoulder, she did not use spiritual magic to communicate, but whispered to Lu Yu casually.
It stands to reason that these whispers are nothing to be heard by ordinary people, but it is a pity that Oberto is too curious as a magician, so he has to use his magic power to try to peep.
Lulutis once tried to communicate with other beings in this world, but without exception, they angered them, made them irritable, and eventually turned into hatred for herself, and couldn’t help launching attacks.
This is the effect of that powerful seal, which distorts Lulutis’ words, turning them into a content that is almost spiritual pollution.
Oberto was shocked by Lu Yu’s terrifying filthy power.
When Lu Yu and Lulutis discovered that the situation was not good just now, they were worried that the situation would worsen.
If I fight Oberto here, I really don’t know how it will end.
Fortunately, Oberto stopped his stupid actions in time and became extremely humble.
Although he didn’t know what he had in mind, Lu Yu decided to go with him.
As for how powerful this “pollution” can be, Lulutis decided to find a chance to test it later.
Lu Yu walked to the Yalong people and squatted down.
This Argonian girl, bound by a collar and chains, was watching herself through the gap in her silver-white hair.
The indigo blue eyes released an icy killing intent.
The silver-white waterfall covered the girl’s face, and the weak firelight made the silver threads sparkle.
There is still blood on the corner of the girl’s mouth. I don’t know if it was left by some unfortunate earl’s servant or her own blood.
“If you want to use the chain on your hand to wrap my neck in an instant, and use me as a hostage in exchange for your life, I suggest you give up this idea.”
The Yalong girl lowered her head and covered her exposed eye with her hair, trying to prevent Lu Yu from observing her expression.
“If you plan to bite me to death, then you don’t have to grind your teeth. Since you can bite off a human’s finger bones with the flesh, at this distance, it shouldn’t be a big problem to break my neck.”
The grinding of teeth stopped abruptly.
“The iron rod you secretly aimed at is indeed a good weapon. The end is sharpened and very sharp. It is not a problem for someone to pierce it.”
“It’s just that I don’t think you can kill yourself with shackles, but as long as you have this ability, you won’t be locked here and turned into a cargo.”
The Yalong girl’s body leaned forward slightly, her hand had already moved quite a distance to Lu Yu’s side.
“I’m not talking to you so much to make fun of you, it’s me who is giving you a way to survive. Speaking of which, you plan to kill me as a backstop…”
“Trust me, as long as you make a move, you will be the one who will die.”
Lu Yu’s icy voice stopped the Yalong girl’s movements.
“You’re dead, I just need to compensate the person over there with a few silver coins, maybe one, maybe two…”
“We just stood on your body and started bargaining, and you didn’t even have a chance to refute it.”
“By the way, how many silver coins do you think your life is worth?”
The Yalong girl was silent.
“I appreciate your spirit of resistance, so I’m willing to tell you more. Whether you believe it or not, I must be the most patient person before buying slaves.”
“Few buyers will spend so much time setting things up. They’ll just brush your hair roughly and pinch your chin to appreciate your embarrassment.”
“The tattered clothes you are wearing will only make them speed up the thinking process of the lower body. When they bring you home, throw you into bed, and get tired of playing, you will most likely become nourishment in the land.”
“It can’t be ruled out that some people have bad tastes and bring you home just to torture you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you are tortured to death, but it’s just a slave. If you die, you will die. With so many slaves here, how many do you think will be able to see the sun in a few days?”
“No one cares.”
Lu Yu’s words made the girl who had just bitten off a finger from the earl’s entourage felt chills.
It was the gloomy cold that gradually poured in from all directions and soaked into the bones.
“I don’t have the patience to give people too many chances…” Lu Yu stood up, stared at the Yalong **** the ground, and commanded in a low voice.
“If you want to leave here alive, stand up, raise your head, and face me.”
The girl hesitated for a while, then resisted the pain and slowly got up from the ground
She raised her head and looked at Lu Yu cautiously with her eyes hidden behind her long hair.
The gray scales on the girl’s hands, on both sides of her jawbone, and on her forehead that haven’t faded away are the products that cannot be removed in a short time after dragon transformation.
Lu Yu stared at the girl’s indigo blue eyes for a long time without saying a word.
“You… what do you want me to do?”
The Yalong girl couldn’t hold back and asked.
“Before that, you should tell me what I should call you.”
“Lenier…”
“Sigrid Rainier.”
There are full names, not random.
Although I am curious as to why such a person has fallen to this point, now is not the time to understand.
“Lu Yu, a traveler.”
“Is it Sigrid? I plan to buy you. If you have any questions, you can wait until you leave here.”
Just as Sigrid was about to open her mouth to say something, Lu Yu’s voice sounded again.
“It’s better not to reject me, there is only one chance.”
“I believe that following me can see the sun again and usher in a new life.”
“Or… rot with them.”
Lu Yu pointed not far away.
It was a slave who lost in the competition and had his leg broken.
He lost too much blood and his face was pale. He murmured and begged someone to save him, but he was greeted by the ruthless kick of the slave trader.
This kick kicked him into the ditch next to him.
The flies were frightened and seemed to be annoyed that they were disturbed while enjoying their delicious meal, so they all fell on the slave in revenge.
Sigrid, who was not afraid of death and even wanted to die, couldn’t help trembling when she saw the disgusting scene of the flies waiting to enjoy the feast.
“Sigrid, give me the answer.”
“Leave,”
“Still follow me away.”
Sigrid looked at the hands in the ditch that were shaking weakly, trying to drive away the flies, and imagined the horrible scene where he was about to suffocate in the dirt.
Looking around, frivolous laughter, filthy words, disgusting sights, all of which overlapped.
Sigrid’s lips moved, her open mouth closed again, and she went back and forth.
finally…
“I… I’ll go with you.”
The corner of Lu Yu’s mouth raised in the shadows.
If such a stubborn and unyielding slave buys it forcibly, even if there is a contract, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not fight with himself with the belief of mortal death.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with the perseverance in Sigrid’s eyes, and the spirit of resistance that he carried out with practical actions. He didn’t want the person he liked to blow himself up against him.
“Wait.”
Leaving two words for Sigrid, Lu Yu strode towards Oberto.
“Offer.”
Oberto felt nauseous again, and the buzzing in his ears continued.
“Ten… fourteen silver coins.”
“too much.”
Oberto was shocked: “Too…too much?”
“Guest, I spent…”
“I’m not interested in how much you spend, I just say one sentence, it’s too much.”
Oberto gritted his teeth: “You go!”
“Seven, six for her bloodline, and one for you.”
In the face of this guest who was cut in half, Oberto wanted to shout, but when he thought that he had lost a lot of money because of Sigrid tonight, he had also offended the active nobles in the royal city.
It seems that spending too much energy for such a madman who wants to die will only make it worse…
Not to mention that the noise in his ears is getting louder and louder, it’s hard to say that the mysterious person in front of him is not doing it.
Sell it, just stop the loss and send away these two gods of plague!
Oberto brought the already prepared purchase agreement and gave it to Lu Yu, while Lu Yu felt sorry for his seven silver coins and gave it to Oberto reluctantly.
He felt that he bargained less.
