Text Act I: The Spread of the Heart_Chapter 9: The Female Slave

"Who the hell are you?" Shangguan Yuanji frowned, "I don't want to deal with strangers anymore, hurry up and say who you are, I won't treat you as a friend just because you saved us." ”

The old man frowned, smoking a cigarette pouch, as if he had become accustomed to such threats, "Speak politely, boy, don't show your fangs to anyone." As he spoke, the corners of the old man's eyes burst into veins.

Ziyan swallowed his saliva, and stood between the two of them to prevent things from deteriorating further, at this time he should stand up to stop it, "I'm sorry old man, he has a bad temper and is too precautionary, don't be weird..." Dongfang Ziyan tried his best to turn the contradiction into a contradiction, after all, they came here to probe the enemy's information and steal the talisman, as well as what the dragon said...... Steal something to eat and go back.

"Old man, not a big man, just a mechanic." The old man squatted on the ground, and Dongfang Ziyan realized that they were in the courtyard of an ordinary person's house, and the yard was full of mechanical parts, as well as the pungent smell of oil, "It's just that I rely on manufacturing machines to make food." As he spoke, he picked up a half-finished robotic arm at his feet, and his wrinkled face could see that it had been through vicissitudes.

At this time, Shangguan Yuanji spoke: "There are not many mechanics in the human race, especially in this country, as far as I know, the alchemy industry should be the most prevalent in this Aslan Empire, and your mechanical skills should be crowded out here, right?" ”

The sound of metal parts sounded, and the old man's hands seemed to have a magnetic force, and circles of metal molecules swirled in the air, forming an incredible scene for outsiders to see, but it was obvious that Ziyan and Yuan Ji had seen it. Although mechanical techniques are no longer common, this unique technique that once shined in the Three Realms still does not change the physical phenomenon of the artifact. Mechanics, simply put, the use of metal or other materials for processing, the use of human power to transform metal, "machinery" originally belonged to the alchemist in the smelting of metal accidentally created, and later became a unique school. The biggest difference between mechanics and alchemy is that the attack of mechanics relies on the two basic techniques of "mechanical zero generation" and "metal transformation", which requires the mechanic to first have the courage to control the metal elements and be able to control the metal particles. The technique with the power of the soul forms a three-legged momentum. (Although it is said to be a three-legged stand, the huge group of soul warlocks is like Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms era, which is the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, and in comparison, alchemists and mechanics are even the two groups of Sun Wu and Shu Han, and their strength is of course weaker than Cao Wei) Although there is a great differentiation, in addition to alchemists and mechanics, people are still accustomed to using "alchemy mechanics" to summarize these two categories.

"That's right, in Aslan, mechanics is lowly, and alchemy is noble." After the old man finished speaking, he shook his right hand, and his right arm was immediately attached to the metal arm armor. "It's just a coincidence that the old man saved you this time, and I don't want you two children to be bullied in the tavern, and there is nothing malicious about the others!!" The old man laughed heartily.

"I knew that the old man had no ill intentions." Dongfang Ziyan replied with a smile.

"You must be the two people who smuggled in, right? I didn't expect you to be two little kids. The whole city is hunting you now, but you'll be safe here. The old man bowed his head and installed the mechanical arm, and said, "Because people in the government generally disdain to come to the machinist's residence." ”

The sound of the sword sounded, Yuan Ji withdrew the wind cutting sword with his right hand, took out two communication jades, and ignored the old man, "Ziyan, hurry up and transform these two communication jades." Then he pulled Ziyan to a corner and whispered to Ziyan, "Do you have a way to let these two messengers talk to the high-level of the enemy country?" ”

"It may have been ten hours ago, but our entry into the city has been exposed, and the enemy must have changed the line of communication, so I can only transform him into a communication jade between the two of us." Dongfang Ziyan said, "But if it comes to mechanical skills, I think that grandfather is much more powerful than me." ”

"No, you can quickly transform it, and then we will get out of here quickly." Shangguan Yuanji handed over the jade in his hand to him, and he walked to the door to prevent the guards from hearing the wind, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard something, and then turned around and shouted: "Ziyan, Ziyan!" Let's leave now, hurry! Yuan Ji turned around and said, "They are searching us door to door, and it's almost here, let's leave quickly." ”

Before he finished speaking, a guard with a gun came outside the door, "Hey, hey! Open the door!! ”

Shangguan Yuan raised his sword and fell, and the sword qi cut the throat of the guard outside the door through the wooden door, "Ziyan! He shouted loudly, grabbed Ziyan regardless of it, stepped on the stone steps and climbed to the roof in three steps and two steps, and did not care about the old man, he turned around and saw that the alley in the distance was already densely packed with guards. The old man stood up suddenly, looked at Yuan Ji and Ziyan, and his lips moved slightly, "Their chief of guards is coming, if you want to leave, hurry up, little ghost." “

Of course, Yuan Ji and Ziyan can see this "lip language", and they can also understand it, Ziyan hurriedly stuffed a communication jade into Yuan Ji's hand, "I've already repaired it, you take it!" ”

"So fast! Forget it······ No more to say! We'll split up and see you at the East Gate after dark! After Yuan Ji finished speaking, the two of them scattered and fled before a large number of enemies arrived. Before leaving, Dongfang Ziyan said "thank you" to the old man below with his lips.

After splitting up, the path chosen by Shangguan Yuanji attracted more guards, but he ran on the roof as fast as the wind, shuttling on the high roof, bullets passed behind him, he didn't even blink his eyelids, and there were more than a dozen guards behind him, "Hurry up and tie up, otherwise we will kill you directly!" The guards shouted. Who to kill? Yuan Ji's face was expressionless, he suddenly turned around, jumped high in the air, and slashed down fiercely with swords in both hands, and more than a dozen guards were blocked by the impact of a sword qi, and after the smoke dispersed, Shangguan Yuan Ji was already at a loss.

In a deep alley, Yuan Ji was sticking to the wall, and a team of guards ran past the road in front of him, his eyes flashed, looking at the sky where the sun had not yet set, and muttered: "Ziyan, that stupid person, don't show your face on the street at this time." “

The roadside of a certain road in Beicheng District was crowded with people, as if there was some activity, and most of the onlookers were men. Dongfang Ziyan was holding a big bag of food, using the money given to him by Yuan Ji, and he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and he also squeezed in to see what activities he saw.

"Take a look! The new exotic beauty slave! The last four! First come, first served! The slave trader stood on a makeshift platform and shouted loudly, and more and more people were attracted to it.

"Slave?!" The chicken leg in Ziyan's mouth suddenly fell, "Buying and selling people as animals?" Wasn't this kind of trade banned decades ago in the Terrans!! He said.

Some people on the side heard his questioning and glanced at him with disdain, "You are talking about the Hongjun Empire, right?" And only that kind of hypocritical and self-righteous country would make such boring rules. The man said mockingly.

"Abominable ······" Dongfang Ziyan gritted his teeth.

"What are you talking about! Hurry up and bring the slaves up and let us see! Someone in the audience was making a loud noise.

It didn't take long for four girl slaves in shackles to follow, led by two strong men, and the youngest was only about ten years old. "Everybody's up! The latest Bista beauty! There are only four left! The lowest price is 2,000 gold spirit coins! ”

There was an uproar in the audience.

"Pretty is beautiful, but two thousand gold spirit coins are too expensive!"

"Besides, why can you take it home at such a young age!"

Just when people were talking, a poop-bellied and gorgeously dressed man walked over proudly, with two personal bodyguards standing beside him, and people made way for him, because this man was a member of the Xinghai family of the Yaslan noble, named Xinghai Jian, and in Duoduo West City, even the governor of the city-state (the government assigned manager of the city-state, that is, the city lord) did not dare to provoke easily.

"I bought them all, take them home and enjoy them! Hehehehehehe······" The corners of the fat man's mouth were drooling when he smiled, which made people look evil. This aristocratic man belongs to the kind of psychopath, and everyone knows that no matter how many women he has, they will be ruined to death in the end. Of course, the onlookers were quietly discussing these things, but Dongfang Ziyan heard them all.

Ziyan saw the girl who was about the same age as himself, the girl had tears in her eyes, he thought about it carefully, that girl's life for more than ten years was even worse than his own.

"Master Xinghai Jian, the original price is eight thousand, if you say, five thousand will be fine." The slave trader looked cheap and groveled.

"Okay, then ······" The aristocratic man was about to give orders to the people around him, but a young man much shorter than him stepped out.

The eyes of the audience were questioned on this teenager.

"I'll give out 10,000 gold spirit coins, and I'll take in all four people." Dongfang Ziyan looked at the slave trader angrily with a pair of big eyes, and his face turned black.

"Oh?? Who is this, who dares to compete with the nobles!! After two seconds of dead silence, the audience finally broke out, and the aristocratic fat man stared at this inconspicuous boy in the crowd with wide eyes, because he was too short to see him before.

"It's hard for us to do it······" The slave trader looked at Ziyan, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his head.

The youngest, red-haired slave girl on the stage opened her eyes and looked at the audience, unable to tell what her expression was.

"I don't bully children either, like that······ I'll give 20,000! Xing Haijian said, and at the same time took two steps forward: "No matter what today, I want to decide these four slaves!" ”

The audience was shocked again, and the slave trader was full of smiles, just about to respond, but Ziyan raised his right fist and said, "One hundred thousand, I will give one hundred thousand." ”

Looking at the faint smile on the corner of Ziyan's mouth, the faces of the two personal guards after the fat Xinghai workout changed, full of murderous intent.

"Wait," Ziyan's brows furrowed, and he suddenly spoke again, "I'm out ······ Half a million. ”

"You kid······ I even put a price increase on myself!? Sincerity, is it right at all?! Xinghai gritted his teeth angrily, "It seems that you don't want to live today." After speaking, a gunshot rang out from his sleeve, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Ziyan's head, "Dare to go against Lord Ben, there is only one way to die!" ”
