Chapter 16 Fear of pain since childhood
If Edward had heard this, he would probably agree with the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence......
The Black Rose Hunting Regiment was walking behind the wagon carrying the Wildhorned Elk, and Edward Bannadu was riding a snow-white, purebred split-hoof horse without a single hair, and when the elf leaned out of the carriage, he was talking to the hunting leader Thunder in a low voice, and unfortunately he accidentally looked up and saw the moment.
He froze.
He didn't expect to be hit in the soul in this barren land, and he would never recover.
"Your Highness?" called the head of the hunting group, Lei Ming, in a low voice, he was a tall native of about forty years old, with a sturdy build, wearing a deerskin blindfold on his left eye, and he was a one-eyed warrior.
He also saw the Falling Spirit, but only stared at it for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.
Black Rose came from Rosa, while Edward was the sixth son of King Haan Bannadu, and was highly gifted, not only proficient in painting, music, and other popular arts of the aristocracy, but also quite accomplished in martial arts and fighting spirit.
He went hunting with Black Rose for his own personal reasons, hoping to gain more experience, see the forest with his own eyes, and take part in the hunt of the wild-horned elk.
His bravery is very recognized, but for the sake of the prince's safety, Thunder is persuading Edward to return to the royal capital as soon as possible.
"Who are they?" asked Edward, looking at the carriage opposite.
"It seems to be a chalk team, with a silver insignia on the soldiers' bust armor, which should have come from the royal capital. "Thunder has been active near Ember City for a long time, and his eyes are vicious.
"I'll go over and say hi. Edward did not wait for the thunder to speak, and ran away.
Luoshen had just woken up, she looked at the crowd outside, and she didn't know the commotion she had caused, but she didn't want to face so many strange eyes, and was about to retract into the carriage when a voice came.
"Beautiful elf lady, are you also going to Ember City?" Edward was humble and polite, showing the grace of a nobleman, "Contemptible Edward, forgive me for taking the liberty of knowing your name?"
Edward was not a gentleman, he was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, and he was easily favored by women, and he was fully confident in this.
Not to mention that he is still a prince.
When Bai Xuan turned his head and frowned, Luo Shen had already spoken: "You have to ask about this matter...... Well, ask my master. She pointed at Bai Xuan, and she didn't know what kind of joke she was making.
Bai Xuan's body stiffened, he looked at it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, this kind of annoying human being, let this nasty human solve it.
"Master?" Edward felt the blood rush to his head, and almost fell off the horse, such a noble elf actually has a master?
This means that the elf is the private property of the guy opposite, and the nature is a bit like a concubine or even a slave girl. Human trafficking was common on the mainland, and nobles would raise beautiful women of various races to enjoy themselves or entertain guests, including elves, orcs, and even banshees.
As for the channels, there are normal sales channels, and there are also shady underground black markets.
Edward took a deep breath to calm himself down, he looked at Bai Xuan, and nodded politely: "Your Excellency must also be a nobleman?" I don't know if you can reluctantly cut your love and transfer this elf lady to me, and you can open it at any price." ”
Bai Xuan sighed, it was true that no matter where he went, he could meet this kind of second ancestor who thought that he could buy everything with money.
He looked at Edward and said solemnly: "I have been afraid of pain since I was a child, and I have to cry for a long time when I am bitten by ants, so my mother has to coax me with lollipops, and I consume more than thirty sticks a month. ”
Edward felt inexplicable, and he subconsciously asked, "And then?"
"I'm afraid of pain, so I can't bear the pain of parting love, please go back. Bai Xuan rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Falling God almost laughed, and she suddenly felt that this pesky human was not so annoying.
Edward's face was a little pale, no one had ever dared to talk to him like this, and he teased him seriously.
He was a little remorseful and too impulsive, with his identity, he really shouldn't deign to make a request directly, such an elf, how could the other party make a move easily.
If you reveal your identity, the other party may give him a face, but in this kind of place, showing your identity will cause trouble, and maybe it will also attract danger.
But the words had already been spoken, and it was a little difficult for him to accept it if he just went back.
Lei Ming and the people of the hunting group had already followed behind, and he also wondered why Edward was so impulsive, he had been in contact with His Royal Highness the prince for less than half a month, unlike ordinary nobles, Edward did not have some frivolous bad habits, but was quite steady, which still won him considerable respect.
The scale of Black Rose is not large, but it has excellent personnel, and there are forces behind it, and he has gained a lot in the Black Curse Forest, and he is willing to get close to the royal family, which is also because it is conducive to the development of his magic material business.
"It's a shame, Ember City is getting more and more lively now, and dragons and phoenixes can also be seen among these people. Lei Ming gave a simple salute, "This gentleman, the contemptible person is the head of the Black Rose, if ...... If you are willing to make an offer, in addition to the gold coins, the wild horned elk in front of you will also be yours. ”
A group of people, merchants, samurai, rangers, coolies, have gathered around, and they all gathered around, watching the excitement of this kind of thing, no matter when and where, it is surprisingly consistent.
As soon as they heard Lei Ming say this, people were in a commotion, the wild horned elk is not an ordinary beast, it is full of treasures, especially the pair of strange-shaped horns, which can be used to make a variety of magic potions, enhance physical fitness, replenish essence and aphrodisiac, and so on.
It's just that this strange beast is worth at least more than a thousand gold coins, and an ordinary person's monthly living expenses are only one or two gold coins at most.
Bai Xuan looked at Lei Ming: "I'm not interested in strange beasts. ”
He swayed his chin slightly.
Karles immediately issued an eviction order: "Two of you, please go back." ”
Lei Ming retracted his gaze, the other party was from Wang Du, although the team looked a little embarrassed, but nine times out of ten there was also a background, based on this judgment, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Especially the young man on the other side who was wearing extremely strange clothes, his eyes were indifferent, and his feeling should not be underestimated.
He came forward to make his attitude clear, he was willing to send the elk, and the other party could not accept it or force it, he gave Edward enough face, which was enough.
Although Ember City is a small border city, it is not a completely out-of-law place, it is very common for fights to occur in the Black Curse Forest, and no one will care, but here it is different, too many people are watching, and nothing can be done.
For the time being, I can only be reasonable.
He spread his hands in regret, turned around and asked in a very low voice, "Your Highness?"
Edward's face had returned to normal, and he turned his horse's head without saying a word.
Lei Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of anyone, but when he was outside, more things were always better than less, even if he licked blood with a knife, he had to make money in the end.
The passers-by who stopped shook their heads and sighed, and they were a little disappointed that they couldn't see the excitement.
However, His Royal Highness Edward, who had just turned around, suddenly turned his head without warning, looked at Bai Xuan and smiled: "I still have a request, I don't know if I should say it?"
Passers-by stopped again, and the noise that had just gotten up suddenly disappeared again, and the street was silent.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan's posture never changed, he looked at Edward, slowly smiled, and said two words very elegantly.
"Okay. ”
