39. Chapter 39
The floating town of Wales is the private domain of the Archduke of Wales, and it is not open to the public, and only the family of the Archduke of Wales and the servants of the Wells Mansion live on it.
"Welcome to Wells on the water." The young servant, dressed in waiter attire, greeted him with a smile as soon as Luo, Anne, Bebo, and Joe stepped onto the floating town, "Please follow me." โ
The young servant was shackled on his feet, just long enough for him to walk, and a collar around his neck.
"Are these people slaves?" Anne frowned and looked around, wearing the same shackles and collars on her feet and around her neck, whether it was the servant who was leading the way for the others or the servant who was cleaning the town.
Slaves were a symbol of a barbaric culture, which Anne knew was abolished hundreds of years ago.
"Don't be surprised, it's not just here that there is a slave culture in the world." During his time in the Don Quixote family, Law had seen too much of the dark side of the world: "As long as there is a privileged class in this world, then it is not surprising that nothing will appear." โ
Anne pursed her lips, living in a paradise like Zou, although she is not isolated from the world, she does not know much about the history of this world, and what can be collected in Brilanca is limited, and there is very little information about the first half of the Great Voyage "Draconian...... ? โ
"It's only part," Luo patted Anne's little head lightly, curling the corners of his mouth, "Don't delve into this, there's no need." โ
The privileged class has its rights tilted over all sides, and it is likely to invite unexpected trouble.
Anne nodded, after learning about the history of Fish-Man Island, Anne realized that she knew too little about the world, and luckily she had a group of reliable companions and loved ones she could rely on.
"Hmm." Thinking of this little girl, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and a soft and bright smile bloomed on her delicate face.
The single dog takes 100 true damage. Qiao looked at the intimacy between the gestures of the two people walking in front, and felt that the titanium alloy dog's eyes were about to be blinded.
"Bebo, it's really hard for you." Joe patted Bebo on the shoulder with a sympathetic look.
"What are you talking about?" Bebo looked at Joe inexplicably with round eyes, revealing a simple meaning. After realizing it, he roughly understood that Joe was probably talking about Roe and Annie, and wondered, "They are no different from usual." โ
ใโฝใWhy do I feel that I have been hurt more after talking to you? Joe silently withdrew his hand and covered his aching liver.
Please don't take it for granted, how are you going to let my single dog!
Not wanting to look at the pair of twinkling eyes again, Joe turned his gaze to the slave leader. Despite the existence of this system, Joe does not want to cause unnecessary trouble to his companions on someone else's turf.
However, the man ......, "I've seen you somewhere." Joe opened his mouth in confusion.
The young man who was originally smiling and introducing the town's facilities paused and kept smiling, "I haven't seen you, sir. โ
"Really...... I'm sorry, I may have recognized the wrong person......" Joe touched the back of his head and asked again.
"It's okay," the messenger who led the way always kept a kind smile, "if you have any questions, please ask, and I will answer them as much as I can." โ
"Is there a place to rest?" Anne said as if embarrassed, "My feet hurt. โ
"Of course. Please follow me. โ
The waiter led the four of them to a lavishly decorated guild hall, "The Grand Duke's auction takes place at seven o'clock in the evening in the central garden, and before that, the early guests can rest to their heart's content. โ
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure to serve you."
Choose a seat on the open-air balcony of the hall. There are not many people on the balcony, after all, there are many entertainment items on offer in the clubhouse.
After bringing drinks to the four of them, the waiter did not leave, but just stood at the entrance.
Monitoring.
"I've seen him, on the sea train. There was also a little girl with chestnut hair of fourteen. I won't admit it. Joe's face was pale, "What a hypocrite, Grand Duke Wells." How can anyone be a slave and laugh? โ
"Looks like there's a rather clumsy hypnotist in this town." Law glanced at the waiter with a standard smile like a mechanical smile and mocked.
The monitor shows a black-haired young man wearing a white and black spotted velvet hat, a hoodie, and spotted jeans sitting on a chair leaning against the back of the chair, his slender legs casually and comfortably overlapping. The young man's facial lines are cold, the contours are delicate but not feminine, the eyes hidden in the shadow of the brim of the hat are unruly, and the corners of the mouth are always hooked with three points of sarcasm.
"He's a good man, but I dare to say it." The woman suddenly pinched off the long pipe in her hand.
Oris, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the woman with a sinking face, and then looked back at the surveillance footage. Anvina has always been conceited of her hypnotism, but now she is criticized for being clumsy, and even her beloved pipe has been broken, which seems to be not light.
But I don't know if it's my own delusion, Olis always thinks that the black-haired man seems to be looking this way. But when he looked closely, his eyes were on the woman beside him. Is it an illusion...... Is it?
Oris, not dwelling on his illusions, instructed the video phone bug to zoom in on the projection.
"That's Svis's muse."
The blonde girl's face was clearly cast on the display.
The girl was pouring milk into her coffee, stirring it carelessly with a spoon.
Orris had to admit that it was a very beautiful woman, and it made his heart skip a beat. The long gilded hair, the creamy skin, the eyebrows are picturesque, the eyelashes are like crow feathers, the lips are like red cherries, and the scarlet eyes are very clear between the waves. Delicate as a bride.
No wonder Sveis was so generous and sent out the "canary". The woman on the screen is a masterpiece in itself. Olris sighed in his heart, but it was a pity for such a beauty.
"Anvina, where are you going?" Olis looked at Anvina who stood up and walked out without saying a word, he frowned, you must know that Sveis has always hated others to mess with the things he fancies, if he moves, Sveis will not show mercy even if he is a companion, not to mention that this woman is not even a companion, "That's Sves's prey." โ
"What's the matter, just make sure that little girl is complete. Anyway, in the end, I'm going to use my abilities. Anvina's body stiffened, but it was only for a moment, and she quickly returned to normal, "Besides, I'm a man of the Grand Duke of Wells, even Sveis can't control me." โ
Stupid woman. If it weren't for Wells's fearful and greedy guy, Swees would have kept those people's lives? Not to mention the hypnosis that went to great lengths to get it. Besides, if those people don't have a certain strength, they dare to carry such a calamity by their side?
After Anvina left proudly, Orris pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze faintly, thought for a moment and took out a phone bug from his pocket and dialed a string of numbers.
The four of them left the open-air balcony, and Jo paid attention to the waiter who had greeted them at first, but this time the waiter did not follow, and froze on the edge of the seat they had just been waiting for, as if he had seen something, and his expression was faintly painful.
Is there anything there? Jo looked at him suspiciously, there was nothing but the untouched drink.
"Ahโโ!h The waiter suddenly held his head and screamed in pain, fainting.
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong?"
"Looks like someone fainted!"
The people around them rioted because of the sudden incident.
Joe was also taken aback by the sudden occurrence of a qiฤ, what was going on?
"Accidental......" Anne pursed her lips and looked away weakly...... bar. โ
It seems that he forgot to pour out the coffee just now, and there is a technique for hypnosis o(โฏโกโฐ)o But this really can't blame her, she didn't expect the hypnosis under the person before to be so fragile, so it was ruined in one rush, she just didn't like to be watched.
Luo glanced at the little girl with a smile, and continued to walk forward after only a slight pause, "Let's go." โ
"Ah, okay." Bebo retracted his gaze and followed with Ghost Cry in his arms.
Although curious, Joe did not want to get involved in the trouble, and quickly followed.
One by one, the slaves who stepped forward to help fainted, and the Duke of Wales's escort soon surrounded the area.
Anvina angrily smashed the coffee cup on the table, was this a provocation to her? These bastards!
"Miss Anvina, what now?"
"Lock up all these slaves. Don't let it out when you're sober, wait until after tonight's auction to make plans. Anvina ordered in a bad mood, "I have my own plans for the rest, so let's evacuate everyone." โ
Standing in front of the Duke's mansion, Svis, who was in a good mood, was not angry after receiving the message from Orris, "Let her go, Wells is useless, if she can help us get rid of that man, it will be of some use." If you can't solve it, leave her alone. โ
Hanging up the phone, Sveis straightened the cuffs of his shirt and walked in the direction of the central garden. While he can't wait to meet his beautiful "muse", now is not the time.
Stretching, Orris got up and left the surveillance room, since Sveys said it was useless, it was time to get out of here. It's boring to stay in the same place for a long time.
But Oryris didn't notice, just after he left, the wooden carved door that had been closed was quietly opened, and a petite figure poked its head out.
"There's no one here anymore." A weak voice rang out behind her.
"Really, sister...... Sister! Sister, are you alright? โ
The girl hurriedly reached out to help another girl with short blue and purple hair who was swaying behind her.
"It's fine." The girl with blue and purple short hair who turned sideways to avoid the girl's outstretched hand, her small face was pale from excessive blood loss, and fortunately the smell of blood here was strong enough for her to hide, "If you want to go, leave now." โ
"Even if we leave this house, we won't be able to escape this island." A long-haired girl huddled in a corner clutched her knees, her eyes empty and desperate.
Most of the girls left in the room were like that. Witnessing such a tragedy, their willpower has long since collapsed.
The girl didn't say anything more, and walked out. She can't even save herself now, so what can she do to save others.
"Sister!"
The girl who poked her head out at the beginning hesitated and chased after her.
