Chapter 117: Slave Traders
Zhuoma slowly talked about his past, and Liu Ming was silent and listened patiently.
There are good people like Whitebeard on the grassland, and naturally there are also bad people like bandits who were killed by Liu Ming.
Unfortunately, when she was young, she was attacked by a group of grass bandits, and her mother hid her in a haystack to escape, while her parents and other companions were brutally killed.
Hearing this, Liu Ming noticed that Zhuoma's body trembled unconsciously, which was a kind of fear from the depths of his heart.
"Do you remember what those grass robbers looked like?" asked Liu Ming.
"All I remember is that the man who took the lead had a tattoo on his face, from his left forehead down to his chin, two black lines running through his face, and an iron pestle in his hand, and I can't remember the rest. Dolma said sadly.
"Although I don't know how to comfort you, there is an old saying in my hometown: good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, it's not that you don't want to pay, the time has not come! Liu Ming said, and Zhuoma nodded.
"I hid in the box, looked outside, hid, covered my mouth and did not dare to make a sound, until after a long time, I was too hungry to crawl out of the box, and when I wandered in the steppe to eat grass roots, I was discovered by my father-in-law and brought back to Tara. ”
"Since then, he has been living in Tara, wandering around with new people, hunting, and migrating. ”
Liu Ming patiently listened to the story, and finally turned into a lament.
"Sorry for reminding you of bad memories. Liu Ming felt a little guilty, Zhuoma grabbed the quilt in his hand, shook his head and refused to speak.
"I'll give you a gadget as an apology. Liu Ming pulled out a few sticks of hay in the corner, and pulled them left and right according to the pattern of memory, and a grasshopper was active in the palm of his hand.
"Fortunately, I haven't forgotten what my grandmother taught!" Liu Ming wiped off his sweat, knitted rabbits and some small animals, and held them in his arms and sent them to Zhuoma.
Dolma happily picked up Liu Ming's small toys and played with them, some of which were creatures she had never seen before.
"Play for a while and go to bed quickly, don't stay up late if you're not in good health. Liu Ming smiled lightly, the light on the low table went out, and he fell asleep against the haystack.
Zhuoma called Liu Ming twice, and when he saw that he didn't react, he got up, tiptoed to Liu Ming's face and looked at Liu Ming.
"You don't sleep anymore, I don't mind completing your stepfather's task. Liu Ming said indifferently, Zhuoma pretended to shrug his nose fiercely, and told Liu Ming that he was not afraid of him, but he still slipped back to bed and lay down.
Kim and Whitebeard in the tent next door didn't react, and they dispersed boringly.
Liu Ming woke up the next day, most of his illness was better, he still didn't respond when he pulled the door curtain, he was a little angry, he groped out the location of the stake, controlled the strength and kicked the stake away, and the door curtain was suddenly blown up by the wind.
Zhuoma was woken up by the strong wind, covering his loose hair, Liu Ming took a deep breath and rushed out angrily: "Kim!!"
Liu Ming's roar woke up the people of the Tara tribe, and Kim had a habit of getting up early, and when he heard Liu Ming's shout, he shivered. is also panicked, and there are several parties involved in Lao Jiu.
"Big brother, do you think Liu Ming is not satisfied with Zhuoma?" Lao Jiu was afraid to run to Jin En's side, and the others also wanted an answer.
"What's the hell of a panic! Help him find a wife! He still dares to resent us! I don't believe he's a wolf-hearted fellow!" Kim said boldly, cheering up his brothers.
An hour later.
"Boy Liu, I was wrong! This was all instructed by Brother Jinen!" Lao Jiu cried.
"Yes, it was all told to do it by King, and we dare not disobey him! You can understand our difficulties!" the old uncle cried too.
Liu Ming took the whip and looked at the few people who were hanging upside down, which one more whip was given, and he didn't really hit it, and the pain was still there.
Several people were hung upside down by Liu Ming, blood gushing to their heads, and whipping and serving, and they had already betrayed Jin En.
Kim also wanted to beg for mercy, but Liu Ming gagged his mouth, and poor Baba begged to be spared.
"Little Brother Liu, they're too cute, put them down and talk first. Whitebeard smiled bitterly beside him to persuade, Liu Ming kicked his head sideways, Whitebeard shut up with interest, and shrank his head and took two steps back.
He also participated in this matter, if it weren't for Liu Ming's sake, he would have hung up and beaten.
"Accomplices are also committed! Honestly admit my mistakes, there are still twenty minutes! As for you, Brother Kim! The accounts of our two brothers can be discussed slowly. Liu Ming laughed, his white teeth were no different from the sharp teeth of the Hell Demon.
After listening to Liu Ming's whole process, Jin Eun's wife vigorously agreed with Liu Ming's approach, pulled Jin Gu to watch the play next to him, and taught Jin Gu not to become such an adult.
Liu Ming asked the tribe's pharmacist for some herbs, added his own storage, mixed the bottle of itchy medicine, and poured it on Jin En's body, Jin En felt crawled by tens of thousands of ants, and writhing his body was uncomfortable.
New and old grudges are avenged together! Who told you to betray me!
When he hugged his chest and sneered, a playful laugh attracted everyone's attention, and a businessman wearing a black dress, a polite head, slender hands and feet, and a beard that was a typical profiteer with a crooked beard clapped his hands and stepped forward, and the white-bearded man recognized the person and stepped forward dissatisfied: "Sorry, I don't need slaves here, please leave." ”
"Looks like you're the leader here. Greetings to Zikat Instead of being annoyed, the merchant smiled and bent down in respect, his voice sharp.
Zikat turned his head to look at Liu Ming, sniffed the smell on him, and sighed.
"The smell of Mr. is Qilian Shuangxin tweed, well, it should be the taste of male flowers, compared to the friend of Lady Victoria, the king of Qimo. Zikat said, and Liu Ming turned around and officially looked at the businessman who was the same height as himself.
"Oh, please take back your hostile looks! I'm just a slave trader, walking near the major royal cities, and I have no hostility towards you. Zikat kept smiling.
"Slave traders. ”
The Dusk Continent is a place where the strong are respected, and it is not surprising that there are slaves, Liu Ming did not go to the slave area in Dongcheng District because of the existence of Pippi, but now he actually ran into it.
"Yes, sir, may I ask how many slave traders you have? I can recycle them at a high price. Zikat laughed, pointing to Kim and the others who were hanging.
Obviously, Zikat misunderstood the identities of Kim Eun and the others, and when he saw Liu Ming 'mistreating' them, he simply thought they were slaves.
"Sorry, they're my friends, they're being punished for their mistakes. Liu Ming said coldly, he had no interest in human traffickers.
"Haha, sir, I understand! I was a friend of the seller before, and I can pay a high price!" Zikat said with a smile as he opened his hand.
Liu Ming frowned, and with some force, he slapped the whip at Zikat who didn't care about standing in place, the whip passed through Zikat and hit the air.
It's so fast that there's not even an afterimage!
Liu Ming withdrew the whip, put down Jin En and the others, and said solemnly: "It's a pity that I have no interest in the slave trade, and I have no intention of offending you, they are really my friends, and I am not qualified to sell them." ”
Seeing Liu Ming's serious attitude, Zikat sighed helplessly, conjured a cane, and leaned on it: "The fourth tribe, why can't you accept slaves!
Zikat took two funny steps forward, raised his eyes covered by his top hat, and his two eyes without pupils met Liu Ming.
Liu Ming was frightened and took a step back, this guy is not a human race
"Looks like I'm scared of my husband!As you know, I'm not a 'human', but a branch of the goblins, the gem goblins! According to Mr.'s reaction, it's probably the first time I've met a non-human!
Goblins! This comic book creature really exists!
Liu Ming looked at Zikat ears, and they were really pointy, growing outward, mostly covered by hair.
"Why do you say I'm interested in slaves?" asked Liu Ming, puzzled.
"Because Sir is weak now, don't you plan to recruit a slave to accompany you? As long as you can afford the price, you can find a slave of any strength! Zikat said confidently.
Liu Ming looked behind him, he was alone, where did he come from.
"Yo yo! here it is!" Zikat stretched out his slender fingers and shook them in front of Liu Ming's eyes, and drew a circle with his cane in mid-air, Liu Ming saw through the circle the strong men trapped in the iron cage, a thick steel cable tied to the neck and hands and feet, and their prices were marked under the iron cage.
Liu Ming took a breath of cold air, and after a rough calculation, there were more than thirty slaves inside.
"Space magic?" Liu Ming exclaimed.
"No, sir, I got it wrong again! This is manifestation magic, a variant based on water-based magic, and although the technique is somewhat complicated, it can teleport to distant landscapes. These are my inventory, is there any interest sir?"
"What price do they have?" asked Liu Ming.
"Qingfeng rank slave, one forty gold coins! Blue Secretion rank slave, one five thousand gold coins! Of course, the mage has to add some money to the original, after all, the mage is rare. Zikat rubbed his fingers, and everything was negotiable if he had money.
"Five thousand gold coins! You're too ruthless! If you just give me someone from the early stage of the Blue Secretion Stage, won't I die at a loss?"
"I'm in business, Zikat pays attention to quality! As long as you want, I can find you a slave at the peak of the Blue Secret, of course, just add some money. ”
"Are you kidding? Liu Ming sneered, and Zikat forgave Liu Ming for his ignorance and kept smiling.
Yes, in the small kingdom, the blue secretion is very rare, but only in the small kingdom!
But with the improvement of strength, Liu Ming will go to a wider area to explore in the future, and when the time comes, he will find that Lan Mi is no different from a dog in those places!
The region determines the price, and it is the businessman's duty to collect low and sell high, and the blue level is definitely in demand in the small kingdom, but in the higher level of the region, it is just the existence of ordinary people.
"Sir, I'm just a slave trader, and if you need it, I'll give it to you. Zikat maintained his professionalism and waited for Liu Ming's reply.
"I also want to find a bodyguard, but I don't have enough money, can I pay for it in installments? ”
"I'm really sorry, Zikat didn't say anything about the installment! Well, goodbye!" Zikat took off his top hat, showed a pale face, and continued his journey with a cane.
