Chapter Ninety-Eight: Love on Dragon Island
In Backwater, the slave traders seem to have received new orders
Although it seems to be controlled by two forces, due to its special geographical location, it is in the middle of the dividing line between the royal family and the hydra, and this place has changed hands repeatedly, so the real people who take on the buyers and sellers are Ryoma's own people
The ancestors were betrayers, and in order to remove the curse of the royal family, they agreed to do things for each other, and dug a passage to smuggle slaves under the lure of money
The place itself is a depression, and I don't know how many Ryoma slaves died, so it was filled in and a tunnel was dug into the rock wall
This also directly led to the sharp decline in the number of the Ryoma clan, and now there are only a few large slave owners left on the farms, and the last few batches of Ryoma, they also bought a lot of illegal gold drugs from the royal family to speed up the production of gold, and fed them to the slaves to eat, in the hope that they can reproduce faster
Now, a hundred dragon horses are being put in cages, waiting for the Imperial ships to come over and be loaded and shipped away
At night, the town of the Longma Valley seems to be more lively, and the slave owners who have made money are holding a wine banquet to celebrate, and the people hiding in the Red Dragon Canyon receive the news and disguise themselves as rampant performers and blend in with the procession into the city
Soon they began to perform singing and dancing, and although the content of the singing and dancing was very spicy, everyone was so drunk that no one went to the show at all
The group of men on the ship, who were temporarily working under the slave owner's hands, were tired now, and when they heard that there was a free drink, they hurried over
They sat down at a table and said
"I don't know where Groot has gone, I haven't heard from him yet."
Another wurm
"We won't drown in the sea, then we'll have to hide here for the rest of our lives."
Said the guy with a turban on his head
"It's not bad here, it won't be captured by the royal family and the empire"
"I can't imagine that the Ryoma clan, which used to be a royal family, will now be reduced to the lowest race, being sat under them and sold as slaves"
"Aren't we the same, otherwise how can we follow Groot, we will run to this hell place"
He saw a man walking towards him and reminded him
"Shut up, someone's coming"
The group looked at the figure in the darkness, and as they got closer, Pike approached with a dozen drinks
That's when they were relieved
"Who am I, scare me"
Pike laughed
"Why, am I not an Imperial soldier?"
The Argonian took the wine and said
"Haven't you become a deserter already, what's more, now everyone is a grasshopper in the same boat"
The other is humane
"Don't be like that, Brother Pike has helped us several times, and he also helped us with this errand"
"Come, let's give Parker a drink"
The crowd was drunk, Pike had never been so drunk, and he seemed to be being carried by someone into a dim and showy room
After a night of hangover, Pike wakes up rubbing his head, and it is not yet light
He propped himself up, but it seemed to touch a soft body, and he quickly withdrew his hand, which was a wurmian
The female wurmist also woke up and looked at him lazily
"Whew, Mr. Pike, you woke up so early"
Pike lifted the quilt and looked at his own body with a stunned expression
"Who are you, and where am I?"
The female wurm is humane
"You were drunk yesterday, and you didn't want to knock me down, I saw that you were quite handsome, so I brought you back, and besides, you are still very. . . Terrible.. Hmph"
She smiled thoughtfully, the makeup on her face still not removed
"How long have you been doing this?"
Pike asked with a grim face
"If there is still repentance, I can still accept you, redeem yourself and take you out of here"
"Oh?"
Female wurm humane
"Warriors of the Empire, everyone who has hurt me has promised to marry me or ransom me, but who will remember it?"
She closed her eyes and continued
"It's just lip service"
Pike asked, getting up, getting dressed
"How much does it cost to redeem oneself"
And she was
"No, I volunteered to stay here"
Pike slapped him and scolded
"You shameless thing, why would you say such things!"
The female wurm said with tears in her eyes, but with a smile
"Because only here is there someone to protect me, if I leave, I will be sold as a slave, why should I leave?"
Pike was a little stunned, and couldn't think of a word to answer for a moment, he said
"I'm sorry, I can't accept it for a while, I'm sorry"
The female wurm shook off his outstretched hand and scolded
"Hmph, you bunch of clothed monkeys, if it weren't for you, our fate would have been miserable like this, if it weren't for your gifts, I would rather ruin my body and hide in this kind of place"
Pike felt his headache worsen, his blood vessels pounding, and a voice came from outside, asking
"Something Happened"
But the female argonian said
"Nothing, the guest was a little uncomfortable"
"It's okay"
The sound of squeaky footsteps faded away
Pike hugged the female wurmone and said
"I will always protect you"
The other party struggled desperately, trying to push Pike away, thrashing with both hands, but gradually ran out of strength
"I'm serious"
Pike whispered in her ear
"Come with me"
He let go of his hand and wiped away the other party's tears, and the female wurmon makeup was crying, and couldn't help sobbing
"Who's going to go with you. Woo. You Imperial soldiers. It's all brutes. I can't wait to peel off you. Throw you into the sea to feed the sharks. Woo."
Parker choked in his throat and wiped her tears with his unworn top
"Don't cry, I promise, it will definitely make you happy in the next life, believe me"
The female wurmone asked, sobbing
"What guarantees do you take?"
Pike pulled out his most precious necklace from his waist, it was his family heirloom and kept it close to him, and he wore it around the neck of the female argonian
"It's pure gold, now you're all I have"
I don't know if it was impulsive, or if he drank too much, Pike's mind was still very confused, but he was very excited, and at this time, he was holding a female wurm and running out, followed by a large group of people with weapons
The female wurmman asked with a laugh
"Where are we going!"
Pike shouted as he ran
"Go where there are no Imperial Army!"
。。。
By the beach, the same two patrolmen
The short man laughed
"I'm tired, but I've made a lot of money lately."
The tall man didn't say a word, laughing and counting the money in the bag
"Don't count, someone's coming"
They asked, feeling leaned in
"What are you doing, report your name?"
The other party was dressed in white hair and swarthy, and looked like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had nine gold rings around his neck
Short man vocal tract
"Looks like a rich man"
This time, the tall man spoke
"If you want to go in, you have to pay"
