"I bought this kid for nineteen copper coins, you see, he's quite handsome, and bringing it with him won't lower your status, and he doesn't have a lot of strength, he can work and be a guard... The only drawback is that it hasn't been trained yet, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't have much impact......."

In the noisy market, a short, stocky old man with a goatee said something to a man in a black robe.

Behind the short old man, a group of men dressed in tattered clothes, with loose hair, and their hands and feet were chained, lined up. One of the sixteen or seventeen-year-olds had his head bowed and his fists clenched, knowing that he was about to be sold by the traffickers......

The boy's name is Liu Ye, seventeen years old, an orphan, who was supposed to wander around like other scavengers, but unexpectedly was targeted by human traffickers, and was abducted here and trafficked...

During this period, Liu Ye tried to sneak out twice, but he was caught back, and he was beaten badly.....

———— just when Liu Ye was feeling confused about the future, the trafficker had already negotiated a price with the black-robed man, and twenty-three copper coins were traded for a human life.

"Boy, this will be your master in the future, why don't you say hello to your future master?" hehe~" The trafficker said, and at the same time took the copper coins handed by the black-robed man, counted them, took out the key to untie the shackles on Liu Ye's body, and pushed him to the black-robed man.

- On the road, the black-robed man walked in front, "Boy, don't think about running, you should know this!"

Liu Ye, who was planning how to run, was startled, and was about to defend himself, when he saw a delicate and small golden sun badge that the man took out from his arms, surrounded by three stars, Liu Ye immediately stopped, looked at the badge in horror, and set off a huge wave in his heart.

This is the mage's badge, in addition to mortals in the Eddie Fall Continent, there are also some people with special abilities, they are - mages! And mages are also divided into levels, each stage has five levels, the lowest stage is the bronze mage, also known as the magic apprentice, after the peak of the fifth level is the silver mage, and then the gold mage, it is said that the top is called the great mage.

The man in front of him was actually a gold-level third-level magician, how could this not make Liu Ye, a mortal, feel frightened.

"Honor... Venerable Mage, why did you buy me as a mortal?" asked Liu Ye nervously and suspiciously.

The man glanced at Liu Ye, "You don't have to be nervous and afraid, just ask you to help me complete a small thing, there are only a few old guys in the slave market today, and I searched for a long time to find you a young man... Anyway, just follow me, and if you behave well, I'll give it to you... This"

The black-robed man took out a golden thing from the cloth bag on his waist, and Liu Ye's eyes were straight, it was actually a gold coin.

You must know that a gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, a silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins, and an ordinary family's monthly expenses are only one silver coin, so this gold coin can support a year's living expenses if Liu Ye spends it alone!

"No, the mage doesn't need to come out in person to find someone to help, let alone buy a slave, and tempt me with gold coins, unless... It's something unsightly or risky. Liu Ye was not carried away by the gold coin, calmed down and thought about it, but became cautious.

———— the border of Xingmo Town, on the edge of the Qisi Desert

"Where the hell are we going?"

"Don't ask me again, just follow me, don't bother me!" The black-robed man stepped on the sand, didn't look back, and returned viciously.

Looking at the stone tablet engraved with ancient characters in front of him, Liu Ye knew that after passing the stone tablet, he would leave the Forbidden Empire, and on the opposite side was a vast and boundless desert. This made Liu Ye even more uneasy.

———— early morning on the fifth day

"Bang!" Liu Ye, who was walking slowly against the wind and sand, suddenly hit a wall, Liu Ye looked up and looked at it suspiciously, there was still a boundless sea of sand in front of him, but the figure of the black-robed man was gone, and there was no wall...

"Eh, this..."Before Liu Ye could react, a hand grabbed him by the collar and dragged him forward, and a black-robed man appeared in front of him, and an ancient castle suddenly appeared!

Liu Ye wiped his eyes vigorously to make sure he wasn't dazzled, turned around and reached out to touch it, as if there was a transparent wall blocking it.

"Alright, boy, now come in with me. The black-robed man dragged Liu Ye into the ancient castle.

Liu Ye also felt that something was wrong, and tried to struggle out of the black-robed man's hand.

"Boy, I, Cagu Louis, mean what I say, do me a favor and let you go, and give you back the benefits. The black-robed man sneered, suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Ye's neck, dragged Liu Ye, who was struggling hard, to a stone room.

"Click~Click!" The stone door of the stone room was closed, the light outside was isolated, and in the sealed stone room, a square wooden platform emitted a faint blue light, and the center of the wooden platform was a recessed square sink, and the bottom was engraved with dense strange runes.

Kagu stood on the edge of the wooden platform, the blue light shining on his smiling face, muttering something in his mouth, his eyes full of anticipation, staring at the sink, his arms raised high, and his palms condensed with a faint red light.

He stopped his movements abruptly.

"Immobilization Spell!" A black light shot out from his hand and catapulted onto Liu Ye behind him, who still maintained a fist raising posture, his pupils full of fear.

"Hmph!" Kagu snorted, his right hand stroking a scarlet ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and nineteen small bottles containing strange liquids appeared around the wooden platform.

"Boy, you're one less! male cursed man under twenty. ”

A little spark burst out of Kagu's palm and landed on Liu Ye's shirt, instantly burning the clothes to ashes.

"Anus, Khahari, Soo, No....." Kagu chanted the incantation, holding a small dagger with a black blade and a bone hilt, and plunged it into Liu Ye's heart!

"Sokuhitira... Pinch Hasa ....."

"Ahh Many black runes appeared on his heart, like wriggling worms that were disgusting.

A drop of black blood was forced out of his heart and hovered on Kagu's finger, who grinned and put it into the sink......

———— A blinding white light, a brief blindness.

Kagu opened his eyes, and the surroundings became empty, and Kagu promised that he would never be in the stone chamber.

"What about the black books recorded in the ancient books?" Slightly stunned, Kagu immediately looked around.

"Undead vision!" chanting a spell, Kagu unleashed his magic to find the so-called Black Book.

"Found it!" he snapped open his eyes, like a beggar touching gold, and ran in a certain direction without hesitation.

In the void, there is a simple and heavy black book.
