Chapter XXVI
"Ahhhhh This time, I'm not bringing you bad news~"
Looking at You's increasingly wary look, Red Rose smiled from the bottom of her heart. The coquettish, crazy smile, the smile that seemed to be a rose that was so full of juice that it was beginning to rot, made Ellie and Noelle, who were also women, feel chills.
“……”
You didn't speak, but he probably guessed.
Saiaru, slaves are equal to goods. So, what would you do if your cargo fell on Crossbell? Of course it's to be recycled, right?
Do you want me to go back to Saiaru?
A cold light appeared in You's eyes.
Can't go back.
It doesn't matter to herself, but Rui, You is not ready to let her return to that terrifying world.
Moreover, a kind-hearted person like Lloyd would never let himself change from a [free man] back to a [slave]. And he only needs to act a little excessively. It would be seen as a provocation to the Saiyalu Empire.
Sure enough, do you want to go back to your old business and kill her while others are unprepared?
No, it's an excuse as well. Unless, there can be a good [natural and man-made disaster]......
If you can't do it, let's blast the underground of the old city and cause a small earthquake. As long as the traces of gunpowder are handled carefully, no evidence can be left. Crossbell's underground structure is intricate, and if you look carefully, you will definitely find a suitable place to plant explosives.
Inside the calm and calm face, one terrifying and crazy plan after another emerged, and You not only sneered: Sure enough, he was a killer from head to toe.
"What if, buy him?"
Suddenly, Randy spoke.
This big boy who is a little shapeless can also see that this person is not good. I'm afraid it's just the status of a slave.
Randy is not stupid, how can someone who can become the successor of [Red Constellation] be a stupid person? It's just that he always puts himself in the position of combat effectiveness on weekdays.
Since the enemy wants to use his slave status to let You go back, then just buy it? Listening to You's previous statement, although Randy can't remember how much a slave is, it's certainly not expensive. Even if prices are rising now, the Support Division will be able to make up the money if it scrapes together, right?
"No, I can't. Randy. ”
Lloyd lowered his head, his ripe brown hair casting a hard shadow on his soft face.
"We can't do that......"
"Why?"
Randy looked confused, this is obviously the best solution to the problem, right?
The cold silence on You's face retreated slightly, and he smiled at Lloyd.
"Thanks, Lloyd."
He understood.
Randy's suggestion of buying the game is indeed the easiest solution. It is also the most effective and least conflict-inducing option.
But...... In this way, it is equivalent to acknowledging the premise that "Yu-Tatsumi is not a human being, but a cargo."
That's why Lloyd said it couldn't be done. Because to do so, it is tantamount to reversing the direction of acknowledging You's slave status, which Lloyd does not want to see.
"Oh, you guys don't play dumb riddles, so, didn't the big sister say it a long time ago, is it good? Hmph, since you also have the consciousness of being a slave, as long as you win 3 slave fighting skills, you will be given a free status. On the other hand, even if it fails, I will allow them to buy you. But you're a very potential newcomer, and naturally you're ten times the price of an ordinary slave - three thousand kila. ”
Red Rose proposes a seemingly tempting condition. Lloyd couldn't help but start thinking about the feasibility of this, and Yu Tatsumi smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Lord Earl, are you qualified to bet with me like this?" ”
The lobbying is correct.
Emancipating a slave, either his master or an emperor-level person, these two have the right to liberate a slave and become a free man. Of course, the owner of the tour is dead, is an exiled slave, and in general, is sent to the auction house to bid first. Until then, he had no master.
Therefore, even if Red Rose is a "count", she has no right to make this bet with him.
"Then, Lone agrees to the bet."
Behind the support section, a majestic voice rang out.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and saw a man wrapped in golden armor sitting on a golden chair. The chair was attached to a large plank, and eight men were in charge of a corner, and lifted him up a great height above the others.
Just looking at it from a distance, a wave of nobility came to his face, and the man's momentum was like a speeding blade, cold and sharp, with the coercion of the superior. Looking at the face, he is only twenty-four or five years old, and his narrow eyes are full of flying arrogance. He has similar black eyes and long black hair, but it is more shiny, like black satin.
On his right arm he wears an arm shield, the golden shield reflects the soft light, and in the center, a strange symbol is drawn. On the left hand side was a huge horse chopping knife, this time it was not golden.
"Ah, Red Rose, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
Seeing the visitor, Red Rose was in arrears, and the rest of the Karumon Consortium all knelt down to the young man.
"All the members of the Karumon Consortium have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Everyone was a little unacceptable for a while, and subconsciously wanted to kneel, but if you think about it carefully, there is no need to kneel on your side?
"No courtesy."
The prince spat out two words softly, and the people who had fallen down before stood up as if they were about to be amnestied.
Ellie secretly looked at the visitor, didn't control her body for a while, and subconsciously asked, "May I ask who are you......?"
"Yes......"
Hearing Ellie's question, the prince took a breath, as if sighing.
"Hasn't the name of Lone been passed on here? - Lone is the first prince of the Saiyalu Empire, belongs to the snake that devours the body, the executor is NO.4, and the [Supreme Imperial Power] Zhao Liyang. ”
The crown prince Zhao Liyang said, stood up from the chair, waved his big hand, that solemn temperament, as if there were really thousands of troops and horses rushing out from under his arms, Ellie was actually a little dizzy for a while.
Compared to that temperament, there is also that self-proclaimed ......
It's the prince again...... The executor of the Devouring Serpent again?!
Make no mistake!
Randy had already built a small room with only one table in it, and he kept blowing the damn table away.
"With the assurance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, na, do you want to come?"
Red Rose said in a seductive tone, but no one in the audience would be deceived by her.
"But that's unfair, isn't it?"
Lloyd frowned, listening to what Red Rose meant, it was Yu Tatsumi who fought three times in a row, no matter how strong he was, Lloyd was a little bottomless in his heart.
Moreover, as long as it was related to the Body-Eating Snake, he didn't think it was an ordinary competition.
Damn it...... I had no idea what kind of conspiracy they might have...... Lloyd couldn't guess what the enemy was thinking. Why do you have to force the people in the old city to evacuate and replace them with your own people, why do you have to appear openly at this time, and you have to openly explain that you are the executor of the snake that eats the body.
Investigating the case, Lloyd thought that he would not lose to others, but when he spied on this kind of national-level conspiracy, his rank was still too low.
Compared to Lloyd's worries, Yu Tatsumi was much more relaxed.
"I see. I accept this condition. My level is much higher than it was back then. ”
Answer confidently. But Lloyd could hear the uneasiness in his tone. He said this so as not to worry his teammates, but he himself did not have this confidence.
In Yuki's own words, he had no talent for fighting. He's better than Lloyd because he trained at super high intensity. So, how terrible will it be for those opponents who have a talent for fighting and have received the same intense training?
"Now, swim. Can I trust you? ”
"What do you believe in it, if I fail, you can just buy me back."
Anyway, in terms of results, it's a win-win situation.
You said calmly and unloaded the chain box on his leg.
"What about the rules?"
"Standard performance rules."
Red Rose smiled and clapped her hands, and more than twenty people poured out of a room, without exception, all of them men with strong bodies, muscles as hard as armor, covered with various scars.
"The changing room, let's use that one temporarily. Hmph~I'm looking forward to it~~ To be honest, if it weren't for your poor health, it would only be a matter of time before you became the emperor. Fierce, cruel, calm, you're fantastic. That beast-like madness, I'm looking forward to it~~"
"Beasts, but even their masters dare to bite them."
Throwing down such a sentence, he walked to the vacant room. Lloyd could only look at his companion and pray carefully in his heart.
Blessed by the goddess of the sky, let you win.
And also......
Big brother, bless him and let him win.
