Chapter 9 The Slave Girl
Located on the lower level of the slave merchant's mansion, a deep road reaches dozens of meters underground, where there is a huge underground space where the slave traders' 'goods' are locked.
"Da--da--da-" The footsteps echoed in the dark underground tunnel, and I saw the orc girl from before, holding a candlestick, slowly walking towards the depths of the cellar. A metal fence divides the ground into dozens of small compartments, in which different slaves are kept.
The girl's footsteps stopped abruptly, and she stopped in front of a small partition.
"I've come to see you, Elsa. The girl slowly placed the candlestick in front of the iron bar, the dim light of the candle barely illuminating the small compartment. A girl in unclothed clothes walked from inside to the other side of the fence.
"Is it Sexia?" the girl held her hand against the cold fence, her messy bangs almost obscuring most of her eyes.
"I've got you something to eat, and you can give it to Sho and Amy. The orc maiden Sesha took some shriveled bread from her pouch and stuffed it through the crack in the iron fence.
Aisha took the bread and beckoned behind her, and a boy who looked to be only four or five years old slowly walked up to her from the shadows, and could see that the boy was carrying a baby girl on his back.
"Divide the bread with Amy. ”
The boy obediently took the bread, and then walked to the depths of the private room with the baby girl on his back.
"Thank you. Aisha put her hand over the fence, and Sesha held out her hand, and the two girls sat hand in hand across the fence.
"Hold on a little longer, I'll soon be able to earn money to buy you and Xiang and Amy. Sesha said.
"I've become like this, even if I go out, it's just a burden, as long as Sho and Amy can be free. ”
"That's not good, you're their only relative, and if you're not two children, you'll be very sad. ”
"I'm blind in both eyes, and I'm seriously ill, and I'm afraid I won't live long, so... Sho and Amy can only ask you. ”
"Don't talk about such discouragement, when I have earned enough money to redeem you, and then find the best healer to treat you, you will be fine. Sesha turned to the other man, but her bruised knees slammed against the cold, hard tiles, and her brows tightened in pain.
"Are you hurt?" Elsa seemed to notice something unusual.
"It's not a big deal, just a few minor injuries. Sexia covered her bruises with her clothes, because of the big trouble in Angelia before, the slave traders naturally vented their anger on her, and the beating was naturally unavoidable.
"You have to take care of yourself, don't work too hard for us. Aisha said distressedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, we orcs are naturally stronger, and we don't die so easily. ”
"But... ”
"Don't talk about that, I met a very powerful guest today!" Sesha tried to change the subject in order not to get too caught up in her injury.
"A very powerful guest?"
"Yes, a woman who looks very powerful, with a Majin slave like you. ”
"Hey, to be complimented by you, it seems that this guest is really extraordinary. ”
"Yes, yes, I've seen a lot of customers, this guest is definitely very promising, the demon slave she brought with her made the store manager proud of the bodyguard, you didn't even see the store manager's face, and the anger was green. ”
"That's not a guest, is it? ”
"No, no, at first, it was the store manager who set his sights on that woman's slave and asked me to spy on it, but it turned out that the other party came to find fault. ”
"Hey, is your injury ... ”
"No, no, they all said I'm fine. ”
"Well, what did the other party do after that?"
At first, she must have given the store manager a dismissal, and then said that as long as the store manager helped her do something, she could ignore the previous suspicions. ”
"Is this coerced in reverse?"
"It's about the same, but the other party left a very big magic stone in the end, saying that it was as a reward, you don't know that it's the first time I've seen such a big magic stone when I'm so big!!" Speaking of this, Sexia was obviously a little excited.
"So what exactly does the other party want the store manager to do?"
She first gave the store manager some strange stones, and then asked the store manager to send someone to the whole city with the stones to find people. ”
"Looking for someone?"
"Yes, I didn't say who I was looking for, I just said that when I met the person I was looking for, the stone would glow. ”
"What a strange commission. ”
"That's it, thanks to her, I've been walking around the city all day, and my legs are about to break. Sesha grumbled as he pulled the stone out of his pocket, "It's a needle in a haystack! Seyxia suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong?"
"That... That stone turned out to be ... Glowed!! "Sesha almost couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't expect that Aisha in front of him turned out to be the person the other party was looking for......
