Genie.

Former continental hegemon.

A race known for being handsome, elegant, noble, proud.

They live a long life, with an average lifespan of more than 500 years.

They are eternally young and almost always young.

They are highly skilled in archery, close to magic and nature, and very strong in combat.

By all accounts, it's pretty much a perfect race.

Now, this perfect race is in a corner of peace, occupying only the western corner of this continent.

And under the invasion of human countries, the territory is shrinking.

What is the reason why this race, from the absolute hegemon of the continent, has become what it is today?

The arrogance of being on top.

Stubbornness to change.

and brutal and brutal rule.

These factors led to the rise of many races, and the alliance of humans, orcs, goblins, and dragons destroyed their rule.

Until now, the survival situation of the elves has become more and more severe, and the flaws in their personalities have not been significantly changed.

This naturally attracted the human aristocracy, from the bottom of their hearts to conquer.

An orc maid is nothing, and if you can conquer and train an elf well, it's really cool inside and out.

The market is there.

Countless slave hunting teams, risking their lives, entered the elven forest and frantically captured elves.

Regardless of whether the male elf or the female elf, as long as one is caught, it is the benefit of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of gold coins.

The fertility rate of the elven population is very low, and the future is really worrying if it is captured like this.

Zhou Ming was curious: Why would someone in the Kingdom of Adud sell elves?

You must know that this place is millions of miles away from the elven forest in the west, and there is no need for slave traders to transport elves to such a long place, and they can sell them for a good price on the way.

Ward didn't explain, just smiled mysteriously, and said that if Zhou Ming was interested, he could participate in the auction in three days, and there would be many dignitaries present to bid together.

……

Afternoon.

The two rabbit maids, along with the warrior captain of the Kadon Kingdom, Gerdjieff, were sent to apartment 66 on Red Mill Street.

Coming to the new environment, the rabbit maids Fei Fei and Mei Mei got through the initial apprehension, and after finding that the master was approachable and easy to talk to, they quickly entered the role and started doing housework.

Zhou Ming observed for a while.

Fast.

They work very fast, indeed.

Wipe the table with a rag to create an afterimage.

The floor is also very clean, which can reflect the human figure, and it is clean to the extent of a "cleanliness habit".

But the guts are indeed small.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Fei Fei, who was cleaning in the kitchen, let out a terrible scream.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Ming walked over.

"Poké, Poké!"

Fei Fei fell into Zhou Ming's arms, her body trembled, and she looked at the insect next to the sink of the kitchen counter with a frightened expression.

Pokworm is a common insect in this world, similar to a cockroach.

"Don't be afraid, the master will help you kill it. ”

Zhou Ming, who was full of soft fragrance, smelled the special fragrance on Fei Fei's body, and looked at the rabbit ears on her head that stood up because of fear, a man's desire to protect rose, and a small fireball immediately popped up, burning the Pok bug into black ashes.

Mei Mei on the side was cooking, she was not afraid of the Pok bug, she was afraid of mice, if she saw a mouse, her reaction would be even more frightened than Fei Fei.

At night.

On the table are dishes on the table, potato and beef soup, mixed vegetable soup, mutton soup, as well as toast, sausage, roast turkey...... Very hearty.

"Nice, good taste. ”

Zhou Ming tasted two bites, and felt that the taste was okay, not as good as Lina, but not much worse, and when he adjusted it a little, the taste would be even better.

Seeing that there were only himself and Henry sitting at the large dining table (Lina is very busy these days, eating and living in the store), Zhou Ming asked Fei Fei Meimei, who was standing on the side, to sit at the dining table and eat together.

Hearing this, Fei Fei Meimei shook her head again and again and insisted on not sitting.

"Mother told us that a servant should not sit on the master's table, because he would be killed. ”

Fei Fei said, with horror in her eyes.

"That's the rule in the aristocratic family, Henry and I are both commoners, you can eat at the table. ”

"Sit down, it's okay, we can't finish all the dishes. ”

Zhou Ming greeted and said.

They still shook their heads, not daring to sit down.

"Sit down, my sister is also sitting and eating together...... The teacher is a good person. ”

Henry on the side also said.

The two rabbit maids sat down with a cower.

During the meal, Zhou Ming also asked them a few questions.

Ask them if they were captured by the slave team, or were they unfortunately captured because of the war?

"We were sold by the tribe, when we were three years old...... Mei Mei and I have been living with humans for seven years now. ”

Fei Fei said as she ate the food on her plate.

Seven years?

Ward's guy lied to himself and trained for ten years, and the two rabbit maids were only ten years old...... They are all child labourers.

However, in terms of development, it is similar to that of adults on the human side.

"Why did your tribe sell you?" asked Henry.

"There is no food in the tribe, and it is about to be winter, and we can't survive that winter, so the patriarch can only sell us to human merchants in exchange for a little food for the winter. ”

Fei Fei said in a somewhat heavy tone.

Zhou Ming was silent for a while.

After a long time, he asked, "If I give you a chance to return to the tribe, would you like to return to your hometown?"

"I don't want to. ”

The answer of the two rabbit maids surprised him a little.

"We never had enough to eat on the grasslands, and we didn't like to eat the unpalatable grasses, and only here with humans have I never gone hungry. ”

Mei Mei said that in the tribe, it is impossible for them to eat such a sumptuous food on the table in front of them, and her deepest memory is starvation.

Zhou Ming was even more silent.

Henry also slowed down his eating, his heart was a little heavy, and he remembered some of the hardships he had experienced in the ghetto.

"So...... Would you like to see your family, if you have the chance. ”

"I want to~"

How could it not be wanted?

I often dream about my family.

It's just that it's impossible to see them, and I'm afraid they'll stay in the human world for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, the two rabbit maids, their eyes were red, and two tears fell.

"Don't be sad, my master promises you, if I have the chance, I will take you to the grassland, look for your family, and if you can't find it, I will also find your people, so that you can see them. ”

Zhou Ming didn't know why he said these words, just two rabbit maids, as for that?

But if he has that ability, why doesn't he let the people or things around him become more complete?

He is not a cold-blooded saint, and he can still manage some things around him.

"Thank you, host!"

"Master, you are so nice!"

The two rabbit maids were overjoyed, although it was just a promise, but they were really very lucky to meet such a good master.

After dinner, I was busy with everything, took a shower, and lay on the big bed in the room where the maid lived on the first floor, and the two rabbit maids hugged each other and slept the sweetest sleep in my life.

……

The next day.

In a room on the second floor.

Covered in gauze, Warrior Commander Gejief, who drank two bottles of [Healing Potion] yesterday, woke up this morning.

After feeding him some milk, broth and other nutrients, he could say something one after another at noon.

The state is back well.

Zhou Ming came over to look at him, put his ear to his mouth, and listened to him spit out a few words.

"For ...... Why...... Help me?"

"I ...... I am...... One...... Wreck. ”

"Why ...... Help me?"

His eyes were full of ashes, his heart was full of death, he had no hope, he didn't want to live anymore.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to save you, it's that God wants to save you." ”

"God intends to give you a chance, a chance to turn the tables after losing everything. ”

"If you're going to take advantage of this opportunity, take care of your injuries and try to heal as soon as possible. ”

"If you've given up, I'll waste that 100 gold. ”

"How you choose, you decide. ”

Zhou Ming didn't want to persuade him or anything, everyone was an adult, it was boring to say so much, the key was to rely on himself.

After speaking, Zhou Ming left, leaving Ge Jiefu on the hospital bed to think by himself.

In the evening, when Zhou Ming came to see him again, his state was much better, and his eyes, which were originally dead fish, regained a little vitality.

And deep in his eye sockets, Zhou Ming saw the unwillingness to rush to the sky, as well as the bitter hatred.

"Very good, very good, it seems that you have the motivation to live, this power, will make you stand up again. Zhou Ming nodded and said.

"Thank you. The other party expressed his gratitude, two bottles of [Healing Potion], he heard this from Henry's mouth.

"You don't have to say thank you, take care of your injuries and strive for a speedy recovery. ”

Zhou Ming said a few words and left the ward.

……

Day 3.

The days of the auction elves.

Zhou Ming put on his robe, brought his staff, took a magic crystal card, and several brothers from the "brotherhood" called in advance, and went to the "Ward Slave Chamber of Commerce" to participate in this grand auction that the entire king paid special attention to, and almost all dignitaries and nobles participated.

Elf Auction.

He's looking forward to it.

And was ready to pretend to be slapped in the face.
