"Aunt Amy, is Mai Mai there?" When Yi Tuan left the room, he saw a few children playing in the yard, but he didn't see Mai Mai.

"He went out, saying he was going to the city." Amy replied with a smile, she peeled a corn-like food in the yard, it seemed to be a staple of dinner, Yi Tuan had never eaten it, and his food was prepared by Louise, which was more delicate.

"Alone?" Yi Tuan looked at the door.

"Yes, he's been out several times, he went out with Hans and them before, and then he went out on his own when he got acquainted, and he was fine during the day, and he was a poor child of half a year, and those little gangsters didn't look down on him." Amy is still more relieved, "This city is different from before we left, it is a lot more stable, I heard that the new city lord is well managed, but it is still quite chaotic at night." ”

That's good, Yi Tuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, it seems that it is really like Louise said, there is no danger imagined outside, especially during the day, maybe he can try to go out and have a look.

Yi Tuan gave some snacks for the children to eat, and asked Amy to tell Mai Mai to come back and look for him.

The window in the corner of the courtyard opened slightly, and Louise behind the window narrowed her eyes.

"Brother Yi Tuan." Mai Mai really came to Yi Tuan as soon as he came back, he was very polite, and knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Mai Mai pushed the door in and found that the room was alone, "Sister Louise is not here?" ”

"Well, just the two of us, come on, come on, and tell me what's going on outside." Yi Tuan couldn't wait to beckon.

Mai Mai seemed to be a little depressed, "I asked a lot of people, but they didn't know where there was a signal, and they also said that Star 11 just didn't have a signal, and even the city lord couldn't do it." ”

"That's it......" Yi Tuan collapsed, can he only count on Otis there?

"But Brother Yi Tuan, don't be discouraged, maybe those people have little knowledge, how many people have seen the city lord, they may be talking nonsense, maybe I'll inquire again." Mai Mai hurriedly grabbed Yi Tuan's hand to comfort him, he couldn't see the beautiful brother in front of him sad.

"Uh-huh."

"Oh yes, I just heard something today." Mai Mai suddenly remembered that there was something important to say to Yi Tuan, "There will be slave traders coming here to buy people on the 1st." ”

"Buying people?" Yi Tuan frowned, "To our city?" ”

"Hmm." Mai Mai nodded, "Not only in our city, but also in several other cities, there will be slave traders, once every three months, they all come on the 1st, and they will not leave until three or five days." ”

There is no signal here, and the transportation is not developed, if you don't come regularly, many people who want to sell themselves will miss the time, so the slave traders set a specific time, once a quarter, each time is a fixed time, convenient for trading.

Every time they come to the city, it will be very lively, and many people in the neighborhood will come over, as if they are rushing to the market.

Some people just can't live a hard life and voluntarily come to sell their bodies, and the money from selling their bodies will be entered into their own property files, this Rodman Empire has strict regulations, and the money from the sale of slaves can be freely disposed of, which is the only privilege after the slaves lose their freedom.

Some sell their bodies to support their relatives, and they will give the money they get from selling their bodies to their relatives who are still on this planet, so that they can live a little better.

There is also forced, which is relatively rare, because the risk is greater, and the slave traders are also afraid of accidents, but they are also repeatedly prohibited, and the beautiful ones are more likely to encounter this situation.

In addition to the people who sell their bodies, there are also many people who fish in troubled waters, after the tide of selling their bodies has passed, some people have money, and they are easy to be targeted by some gangsters, but the city is fine, but the people who live outside the city and return to their hometowns are particularly easy to be looted on the way, and many people will always die during that time.

"Slave traders are all from outside, right? They must know about the signal. Mai Mai was a little happy, "I'll go and find out when the time comes." ”

"Don't, what if you get caught as a slave by the bad guys." Yi Tuan was terrified when he heard about slaves.

"No, I've asked, they don't want children like me, they say it's too young to buy it, and they have to spend money to support them if they can't do anything, they have to buy adults, and I don't look good." Mai Mai scratched her head, "No one will buy me." ”

"That's right......," Yi Tuan thought for a moment, "Then I'll go with you, I heard that it's quite safe outside during the day." ”

"Well, the security is really okay, I often see patrols passing by on the street, but Brother Yi Tuan, you still don't want to go, you look so good, what if you are abducted by bad guys." Mai Mai grimaced.

"I just cover my face, don't we have hoods, a lot of people on the street wear that."

"Hmm...... Then I'll wait until I check it out on the first day, and I'll sue you if it's safe. Mai Mai was still not very reassured, Yi Tuan and Otis Louise were the best people he had ever met.

"Okay, listen to you."

There were still many days before the 1st, and Otis came back halfway, but he did not bring back good news, but instead he was dressed as a wolf, and his clothes were torn in many places, and there were blood stains on them, and he was obviously injured.

Yi Tuan was startled when he saw it, the damage to his clothes was not a knife wound or a beast, it should be a thermal weapon, and there were marks left by burns, like bullet holes or something.

Louise burst into tears on the spot, it was the first time she had seen Otis so wolf.

"It's okay, the wound has long since healed, but I have no change of clothes and have to continue to wear this set." Otis began to undress without much care, and thanks to the messy coat, he had been watched since he entered the city.

As soon as I took off my shirt, I didn't see the wound, only some blood scabs, wiped off with water, and the skin under was intact, but there was a lot of blood, it is conceivable that Otis was injured multiple times at that time, if it weren't for his super self-healing ability, I am afraid he would not be able to come back on this planet that lacks medical treatment, and he came back on foot alone.

Yi Tuan felt that Otis was simply a superman.

"How did you get hurt?" Yi Tuan was curious.

"There is an automated defense system near the factory." Otis felt bad when he thought about it, "But fortunately, this place is very backward, and the local residents do not pose any threat to the factory, so the defense system is relatively simple, and there are not many heavy weapons." "Otherwise, he won't come back.

"This time I didn't think it through, I didn't expect a factory to be so dangerous." Otis regretted it, he was careless again, "But it's not that there is nothing to gain, there is indeed a weak signal near the factory, the closer you get to the factory, the stronger the signal, but the strength is not enough, you have to find a way to get closer." ”

Yi Tuan heard the implication, "You want to go again?" ”

"Of course." Otis took a sip of water, "This time it's because there is not enough food and water, so I'll come back first, take a break today, and set off tomorrow." He told Louise to prepare enough dry food and water.

Yi Tuan calculated the time, and estimated that Otis would not be able to come back before the slave trader came, and his luck was still quite good, hoping that he would be able to contact the outside world before Otis at that time.

……

Prison of the Lords of the House of Lords of Polya.

The prison here is very luxurious, and the people who are locked up here are generally doing quite well, and today there is a special guest here.

Nervous looked at the people who came to visit him with a smile on his face, "Long time no see, dear Ivey. ”

"Long time no see, dear Sennes." Ivy felt like she was about to cry," ...... I'm sorry. ”

"Why do you want to apologize to me, you are not at fault, it should be that I said I'm sorry, my prophecy didn't come in handy at a critical moment, and it was also me who built Queen Xià to go to school." Nervous was apologetic, "I hurt His Majesty Chester." ”

Ivy was so sad that he couldn't speak, he believed in Threads, Threads would not lie to him, he also believed in Threads' ability, Threads's prophecy would not be wrong, and Yi Tuan was definitely not dead.

As long as he spoke, Chester would have let Seyns go.

But he chose to remain silent.

His grandson was a great emperor, and he, the former queen, had been out of office for a long time, and to speak out at this moment to dismiss Chester's order would only shake Chester's prestige and dignity, which was not a good thing for a country.

Moreover, it is a time of war, and changing the order will only hit your own momentum.

The person who should reject Chester's unreasonable order should be Yi Tuan, the current queen, as Chester's partner, he holds half of the royal power of the Rodman Empire, and his partner has made a wrong decision, which should be corrected by him, the queen, which is the most reasonable and perfect.

Between relatives and friends, Ivey chooses his own relatives, so he is full of guilt.

"I'm really sorry." Ivy didn't dare look Seals in the eye.

Nervous smiled, "Then come and see me often, maybe I won't live long, I want to see you more before I die." ”

"I'll come to see you every day." Ivey shook Seynes' hand, "You can tell me anything else, and I'll do it for you." ”

"No, you don't." Nervous shook his head, "I don't have any other wishes, just to see you every day." ”

Seans stared at the friend with long blue hair in front of him without blinking, he had everything he wanted in his life, except for the person in front of him.

Watching him and Hollenny together for hundreds of years, jealousy slowly became numb, so numb that he thought that he might no longer like this person, but it had just become a habit.

But when he may be dying, his only wish is to be with this man.

If this really is the last time of his life, as long as Ivey can be by his side, it will be happy for him......
