It was raining lightly outside, and there was a continuous ticking sound, which evoked the endless thoughts of Hua Lu.

"Sister......" Hualu murmured, a mist appeared in her eyes, and her sister's smiling face appeared in her heart.

Red Coral is three years older than Hua Lu, and although they have the same father and mother, the two have completely different surnames. Red Coral is a boy with a lively and active personality, and it is impossible for her to stay honest for a while. When she was able to run, she ran all over the mountains and wilderness of Starfish Island, and when she was able to swim, she collected all the shells and conch shells on the beach. She did things with all her drive, and once carried her sister, who was still babbling, to the canopy, just to get closer to the stars at night.

The two sisters grew up together and had a carefree, playful and good time. Because the surnames of the two sisters do not match, many times they can't play together. Red Coral always likes to hold Hualu to play, and then get scolded together after getting into trouble, so Hualu carries a lot of black pots, and every time she is so angry that she cries. When the two learned to weave together, the fabrics made by the flower dew were very neat and beautiful, while the fabrics made by red coral can only be described as "abstract". Red Coral is very bold, and at a young age, he dared to ride the pig beast around, and on several occasions even rode the pig beast to the house. Whenever Hana had an awkward trouble, Red Coral would lie by her side, grimacing until she laughed.

After growing up and being sensible, the newly grown red coral likes to pull the flower dew to talk about the young men on the island, which one is brave, and which one catches more fish. Red Coral always asks her sister which boy she likes on the island, but Dew never blushes and doesn't answer.

Thinking about it, the longing in Hualu's heart became stronger and stronger, like a big tree growing wildly, standing in her heart, supporting her weak body.

Flowerdew put an extra cloak over her body and covered her head with a hood, and she left the house and walked quickly downstairs, where dozens of pirates sat in the hall, and the sound of talking and laughing was intertwined with the sound of clinking glasses.

"Gentlemen, do you know anything about the slave trade in the Little Pirate City?" Blossom asked everyone in the hall.

"Speaking of which, I heard that there is a slave exchange called the kitten demon that has an auction today, and many slaves will be sold." The pirate who spoke reminded, "But the exchange sells female slaves. ”

If that's the case, it's even more important to check it out! Flower Dew thought firmly.

"Well, can any of you take the time to walk with me?"

In a place like the Little Pirate City, Flower Dew didn't dare to wander around alone, and every time she went to the slave exchange, she would pull a few big men to protect her body. Because Donk, the ship doctor, Wendy and the others are very busy, most of the time, Flower Dew goes to find some idle pirates in the pirate group. These five big and three thick guys are basically very good at talking and will not refuse her request.

Ever since joining the Dragon Pirates, Blossom has not stopped looking for her sister, and despite the slim chances, every time she arrives at the port, she will go to the slave exchange or the slave market to find her sister.

During the Age of Discovery, the slave trade was legalized, and the empire would even encourage this evil trade of moral degradation. And the cause of the slave trade, in the final analysis, is the word profit. Interests are always the driving force and sail that pushes the course of history.

When the advent of sailing ships with the ability to travel long distances, the horizons and footsteps of the empire were greatly expanded, new continents were discovered one after another, new races, new mineral deposits, and new crops competed to appear, challenging people's nerves, all kinds of new things promoted the prosperity of maritime trade, and a network of crisscrossed routes spread out on the sea. The New World brought with it a wave of immigration, with some adventurers leaving their homes and settling on land across the sea in search of development. But the problem is that whether it is mining or planting, it requires a lot of human resources, but the five major civilization empires do not have so many human resources.

Naturally, the Empire set its fierce eyes on the weak and backward races, raising their muskets, destroying the homes of the weak races by force, bringing the weak races to their knees by force, and whipping the weak races by force to work for the Empire.

The slave route came into being, and the ships of the Empire took advantage of the brisk tailwind, passed through the Sea of Dreams, and arrived at the continent of Kovaré, where they bought slaves, and then turned back according to the triangular route, sold the slaves to the plantation owners along the coast, and then bought cheap gold and industrial raw materials from the New World, and sent them back to the five empires for resale. It is a lucrative business, and the profits are so great that the merchants stain their hearts with sin, and they only care about making a lot of money, and abandon the boring ethics.

Hanaro never dared to imagine what kind of life her sister was currently living.

Kitten Demon Slave Exchange.

"Gentlemen present, this exchange adheres to the high-quality service of the past, and now we will once again present you with high-quality female slaves! That's right, this exchange only offers female slaves - the ones that make you horny! Their beauty is inherently meant to serve us, isn't it? Scream! Gentlemen! Now bring the next female slave! The auctioneer held the enlarged snail in his hand, and the distorted sound resounded throughout the circular space, and in front of him was a square table. Bidders in the audience respond enthusiastically, with their hands outstretched, or whistling.

Flowerdew mingled with the other three pirate accomplices, silent, her companions talking loudly, but drowned out by the cacophony of the crowd.

The floor of the exchange is paved with marble, and a chandelier falls from the elaborate roof of the canopy, illuminating the stage alone, but the stage is dim, which is very thoughtful, and the dimness can hide the ugly faces of the bidders well.

A girl walked out of the backstage tremblingly, and stood in the light under countless pairs of wolf-like eyes. She was fair-skinned, with large eyes, a little bit of elven blood, and slightly pointed ears. She wore plain peasant clothes with a patch on the corner of her skirt.

"Her name is Ellie, and she is a peasant girl from a clean family. Let me help you to get a good look at her quality, she's young, you can even say ...... Young, she's full of fragrance, and her skin is as white as milk, isn't it? Look at her hasty face, I wonder if it can touch everyone's hearts? The auctioneer looked at the girl, smiled, and coldly ordered, "Come on." Baby. Show everyone your figure. Take off your clothes, one by one, you can move a little slower, and I hope you can do it without reservation. ”

Elle must have thought of refusing, but then shivered, and did so, her clothes peeling off one by one. The eyes of the audience began to breathe fire, and the screams almost lifted the roof. The auctioneer picked up the garment, treated it as a souvenir, and threw it away.

The girl became naked, and she covered her face in a daze, but the auctioneer did not let her cover her private parts.

Flower Dew was the only one in the audience with sad eyes, how she wished she could buy this poor girl, and she had done it many times before, and it had cost her almost all the money she had earned in the pirate group. She once approached Donk and begged him to buy some slaves and let them go, but he said something very cruel to her: You can save a slave, but you can't save an era.

After hearing this, Hualu realized how small she was, and she couldn't do anything at all.

Elle eventually sold it for three hundred silver coins, and the bidder paid for it and took her immediately. The auctioneer grasped the rhythm of the auction and immediately called the next slave to prevent a gap in the middle. Next, female slaves of various races were sold, some of them of good quality, and some of them were ugly girls who were used to make up for their numbers. Among them is a special orc girl whose tail is competing for a high price for some of the hair on her body.

To this day, there is still no trace of red coral.

Flower Dew is accustomed to disappointment and bears the ravages of disappointment with a fragile heart. She drooped her eyelids, waited for the auction to end, and then returned empty-handed.

"Everyone buys female slaves for fun, and these female slaves are, to put it bluntly, toys. But some toys are so disobedient, if you're struggling with this problem, be sure to keep an eye on the next slave! Because she has no soul and is a surname doll who absolutely obeys orders! "The auctioneer points backstage, and he's like a conductor, able to draw everyone's attention.

A brown-skinned woman with a bumpy figure walked up, her complexion was very special, her appearance was good, and it was a little exotic. She was wearing a black dress with a few tears at the cuff of the skirt, revealing a looming spring color. Her eyes were very distracted, without the slightest hint of light, and someone behind her used a strange bell to drive her forward.

Hua Lu's gloomy pupils contracted suddenly, like pinholes, and she opened her mouth wide in disbelief, as if the world had stopped, and the surrounding sounds stopped abruptly, leaving only the familiar figure of the woman on the stage.

"Oh my God! Sister? Hua Lu shouted excitedly, her heart was about to jump out, the woman in front of her was definitely red coral, they had a family relationship that was thicker than water, and they would never admit it.

The three pirates next to him were taken aback and hurriedly asked questions.

Hualu was so excited that she entered a state of forgetfulness, she couldn't hear other people's voices, and she only had her sister in her eyes, she pushed away the crowd like crazy, rushed to the front of the stage, and shouted: "Sister, it's me!" I'm here to save you! Don't be afraid, I'll save you no matter what! She stretched out her hands to save her sister from a high place, but there was a desperate distance between them.

The red coral on the stage stood there hollowly, looking hollowly ahead, like a beautiful puppeteer. In terms of appearance, Red Coral is much more beautiful than her sister, and more feminine.

The auctioneer heard the shout, looked down at Hua Lu, looked at it for a while, and said, "Sister? You're not mistaken, are you? This is a rare occurrence. However, little sister, this is not a place for you to mess around, I don't care if you are sisters or not, in short, if you want to take her from here, you can only buy it with money. ”

Unable to listen at all, Blossom kept shouting her sister's name until several of her companions rushed over and grabbed her.

If you make trouble at the Kitten Demon Slave Exchange, it's not a joke, and people who can open their doors to do business in the Little Pirate City are naturally not easy to mess with.

Under the persuasion of others, Hualu regained a little sanity, she recognized the situation, and shouted to the auctioneer who was high above: "You bad guys, give me back my sister!" ”

The auctioneer stiffened his face and said, "Little sister, if you mess around again, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Hualu wanted to take her sister away immediately, but the auctioneer's cold gaze frightened her, and she understood that the only way to take her sister away was to buy her with money. It's a way to save her from pain, but that's the way it can be. She whispered to her sister, but she didn't seem to hear her, and didn't look at her at all.

"Alright, let the auction continue! Her name is Night Slave, and she was sold to a necromancer last time, and the mage pulled her soul out and put it in this bell in order to make her obedient! The auctioneer lifted a small golden bell and shook it a few times, making a clattering sound, "Just hold this bell in your hand, you can order her to do anything, remember, anything!" Although she has no soul, she has wisdom and can understand orders, so she is very happy to be her master. ”

A beautiful female slave at will, which is very much in line with the evil ** in the hearts of some men. Although Red Coral is not the best beauty in the world, her special surname of absolute obedience to orders will bring a different kind of attraction. Many people in the audience began to be eager to try, and some shouted: "Put on a show!" Let her perform on the spot! ”

The men's enthusiastic cries were like knives stuck mercilessly in Hualu's heart, making her feel terrible. The toy in the eyes of men, but her own sister!

The call is getting louder.

"At your request, I'm going to show you this." The auctioneer was obviously happy to do this, he glanced at Hua Lu intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at Red Coral with a silver gaze, "Night slave baby, raise your left arm, it's good, change your right arm, it's good, turn in place." ”

Red Coral is like a marionette, doing these tasks in a dull way, but this simple action does not satisfy the needs of the audience.

"Okay. You also heard the cries from the audience, and if you don't satisfy everyone, this stand will be torn apart. So, next, I want you to ...... yourself" The auctioneer looked downstream, greedily between the legs of Red Coral, a show that was sure to make many people excited.

Hua Lu saw through the auctioneer's thoughts, and she fell into the abyss in an instant, her hairs standing on end, and she yelled heartbreakingly, "No! Don't do it! Don't you just want money? I'm willing to buy my sister, you can make an offer! ”

The auctioneer said happily, "It seems that there are already people who can't wait." Is the show going to be stopped? He pricked up his ears and listened to the answers of the bidders around him.

"No! I'm going to see how smart she is! That's how you can decide whether to buy her or not! Similar cries have risen one after another.

"With such a high voice, I can't let the guests down." The auctioneer faced Red Coral again, and ordered with a wicked smile, "Night Slave, I think everyone would love to see you fluttering, but no one can help you now, you can only come by yourself, you know what I mean?" ”

Red Coral paused, as if to read the meaning of the command, and when she understood what her master meant, she began to do so, stretching her slender palm down, over her flat lower abdomen, down, down, and finally rubbing it shamelessly.

Hua Lu in the audience let out a desperate roar: "No! It can't be like this! Sister, stop! Look at me quickly! Her weak voice was instantly drowned out and useless.

Hualu's heart hurt so much that her tears were rolling down unconsciously, burning hot, she couldn't accept the scene in front of her at all, she felt more uncomfortable than death, a thousand times more uncomfortable, ten thousand times more uncomfortable. This pain is enough to break people.

Red Coral moves mechanically and keeps speeding up, as if there is a craze ready to vent at any moment, this scene provokes the lust of the audience.

"Haha, I like her! Gotta get her! Beside the dew, a drooling dog-faced orc shouted.

"No......" Hua Lu hid her face and cried, slumped on the ground, looking at the nightmarish scene on the stage.

The auctioneer saw that the fire was ready and stopped in time. Red Coral stopped as she was told, gasping for air, and there was a faint white light on her black dress. The show was interrupted at a critical moment, which made many people very unhappy, but among the dissatisfied, there were obviously many people who were willing to pay for the red coral to buy it home and watch it slowly, and this is the most important thing.

"That's it! You must have feasted your eyes and understood how tempting the night slave toy is, she will obediently obey your orders, and she will not disobey the order no matter how you want to play with it. I announce that the auction is now open! The starting price is 500 silver coins! The auctioneer shouted.

"Five hundred and fifty silver coins!"

"Six gold coins!"

"Six gold coins and twenty silver coins!"

"Seven gold coins!"

Bidders scrambled to increase their bids, and the smile on the auctioneer's face grew stronger.

Hua Lu wiped away a handful of tears, and she burst out with more resolute strength in the pain, she must not let her sister fall into the hands of these beasts!

"Fifty gold coins!" Hua Lu shouted out a price far beyond the others, attracting a small tickle. She looked at her sister with iron, and she had never wanted to accomplish something so much in her life.

"Pretty rich. Little girl. Then I'll give out eighty gold coins! The kobold orc, who had said he was going to buy Red Coral, smirked.

"A hundred gold coins!" Flower Dew raised the price again in the next second, with a momentum that overwhelmed everyone.

"Oh? It seems that you are determined to win. The kobold rolled his eyes, "Then I'll add five hundred gold coins!" ”

"A thousand gold coins!"

This voice calmed all the bidders in the audience, and the audience was surprisingly quiet, and they all looked at the weak and small flower dew.

"Hehe, interesting, so interesting. She's nowhere near worth the money. The dog's head smiled at the success of the conspiracy.

Indeed, even if Red Coral is a beautiful puppet that obeys orders, it is not worth the sky-high price of a thousand gold coins. The auctioneer was already smiling from ear to ear.

"She's priceless in my eyes." Flower Dew didn't look at the orcs at all, just stared at her sister on stage.

"A thousand gold coins at a time!" The auctioneer seized the opportunity of this sky-high price, and quickly shouted three times, no one raised the price, he looked at the flower dew under the stage, "Congratulations, little girl, you have bought your sister, may you have a good time with your sister." ”

Hua Lu glanced at the auctioneer's ugly face, wiped her tears, and looked at her motionless sister again.

The auctioneer began to recommend the next item, and Red Coral was taken down by the others, along with the little golden bell. At the end of each auction, bidders go backstage to pay and take away the slaves they have bought. Accompanied by the three pirates, Dew went backstage, and now she was closer to her sister, and she was already within reach, but she found that the temperature on her sister was so stiff and lifeless.

"A thousand gold coins, pay for it." The fat staff said in a muffled voice.

It was only then that Hualu remembered the problem of money, of course she couldn't come up with so much money, but Tang Ke promised to redeem her sister for her, so she didn't have to worry too much about this money.

"I don't have the money yet, but I'll get it right away." Hua Lu said weakly, and the momentum she had just shouted was gone.

The fat man frowned in displeasure and said viciously, "Before you make trouble, you should really inquire about what kind of place this is!" ”

"No, I'm not making trouble, I can take out the money, you give my sister to me, I'll go and get the money right away, I promise." Hua Lu hurriedly said, and several other companions stepped forward to protect her.

The fat man glared at Hua Lu a few times and said, "Paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand is the rule here, and no one can break it." I could have tied you up and put you on the stage to sell, and you had a minute to get out of here before I did! ”

Of course, Hualu couldn't watch her sister being taken away again in front of her eyes, and she begged them to give her time to withdraw the money. The fat man got impatient, some thugs from the exchange surrounded him, and the situation became very bad. Seeing this, several pirates from the Evil Dragon Pirate Group didn't want to make a mistake here, so they grabbed Flower Dew and walked away quickly. Flower Dew was hard-pulled out, and she reached out to her sister, watching her figure disappear again.

On the way, the three pirates who were usually rough and leafy acted as good gentlemen and persuaded Hualu to calm down. Fortunately, things still had a turn for the better, and Hualu put all her hopes on Donke, ran back to the hotel as fast as she could, rushed directly to Donke's room, slammed the door, and as soon as she entered, she cried: "Donke, please, please save my sister!" ”
