"From this day forward, my side island will be administered by Bivis's disciple, his only heir, who will have the right to make his own laws, to enjoy any rights and interests of the side island, to buy and sell and kill his slaves, to hire soldiers and craftsmen, and he will have his power, as is his obligation. ”
The ruler of the Eastern Crown, the master and father of his son, uttered the words so indifferently, with a mouth full of sweet scarlet juice, and gave his side island to an outsider who had nothing to do with him.
He's crazy.
It was the first thought that crossed the minds of all his sons, but even their lord and father had become a madman—his soldiers were still loyal to him, and the spellcasters, the female warlock who had stroked the curly hair of the Eastern Crown Lord for a moment, was worth hundreds of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers.
Some of his eight sons guessed their old father's intentions like a mage, but it did nothing to quell the raging fire of jealousy, like throwing a piece of fresh flesh at a group of beasts that are so hungry that they will not hesitate to devour their own kind to survive, even if some of them understand that it may be a means of weakening and provoking, but so what? The beast that snatches the meat will be able to fill its stomach that is about to be digested by itself, and he will become strong and agile as a result, and he will be able to grab more food in the battle that follows, and he will live while they die or live worse than- But this is not what they hated the most, what they hated most was that it was not one of them who got the meat, but an outsider who knew nothing about the Dragonfire Islands and had no inheritance rights to the Eastern Crown of the Dragonfire Islands, like a person who was already unusually full and could get enough food afterwards would take this vital meat from their teeth, if they could. They can now shred the black-haired caster with their own teeth.
"How?" the owner of the Eastern Crown did not seem to sense the surging undercurrents below: "My child," he said kindly, "would you like to take the place of Beavis as the master of the side island?"
The former immortal stood up and bowed slightly to the lord: "I hereby express to you 120,000 gratitude and gratitude on behalf of my mentor, and I think he will pray to all the gods to repay you for the favor you have bestowed before and after. ”
The arrogant lord of the spellcaster was a little annoyed because he didn't hear that the caster was willing to serve him with his gratitude and promise, but he was equally unimpressed, after all, he didn't give the side island to this person out of true emotion, and the black-haired young spellcaster had no roots in the Dragonfire Islands. With no friends, only enemies around him, and when the situation calms down, it will be as easy and easy for him to get back as he gave him, and even his son will do it in his place.
The lord withdrew his gaze, and a man with a short life did not need to attract his attention too much, he leaned back into the slave's abundant embrace, and stood beside him, and the eunuch, whose eyes were watching his master's every move for a moment, immediately raised his hands. After a beat, the slaves who had brought them pleasure returned to the hall, but this time they had not come to dance or sing, but with their bare hands. Fighting for their lives against each other - or rather, they, they are all women, beautiful and young. But there were so many slaves in the Dragonfire Islands that even if their masters worked day and night, they could only possess a tiny fraction of them: the girls born to slaves. Unless you have extraordinary charm and skill, or are favored by the god of fate, or have the blood of a lord, you will only be reduced to a consumable or a "clay embryo" for breeding.
The slave who served the lord was one of his daughters, and after coming to the lord she was honored to have a name called Ji'er, who had strangely inherited a series of characteristics from her father, but had combined them into a special beauty, her hair was yellow like the lord, but slightly lighter, and tightly curled, fluffy and fluffy, so that everyone who saw it could not help but want to touch it, and the lord had earthy eyes, which could be said to be a disadvantage in appearance in both men and women, but her eyes were always covered with a layer of water vapor, making them look like citrine in waterThe pale eyelashes are dense and long, and always droop downward, like a timid deer boy or a foal.
Her light brown complexion was matched by her abundant creamy curls, and her small, delicate, bumpy figure, which became her invincible weapon in a not too short period of time, and the only thing that worried her was a half-elf that the lord had bought from Captain Drake a few days ago, with the same long black hair and turquoise eyes as the new owner of the side island. But because of the need to meet the relationship between an elf and a half-elf, she was killed by the lord without hesitation, Eya of Emerald never regarded half-elves as his kind, but the elves of the silver-crowned forest still had a sense of pity for their people, and Beavis's disciples also had the blood of ordinary Aya, so for the sake of caution, it was best not to let them find out that the lord still had such a precious collection.
The lord's sorcerers also imprisoned her soul in a gem, incinerated her body to ashes, condensed into a coral pedestal, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The man lying on her belly had closed his eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, he was only fifty-two years old, but the extravagant pleasures and daily worries had worn away his energy and health like a sharp blade, he easily fell asleep and woke up easily, Ji'er kept her breathing and heart beating, and now she could neither move (no matter how slight) nor stiffen her body because of the tension, and sometimes the ruler of the Eastern Crown had only an abrupt nightmare, and would order the eunuchs to pull out the slaves who were used as bedding and soft pillows, and if they were lucky, they would be hanged directly, unfortunately bound by cowhide bands, was exposed to the sun and slowly died due to extreme **, not to mention that he was unable to get a short and sweet sleep because of the slave's negligence.
But her eyes were free, and the fawn-like eyelashes were the best disguise, and she easily found Dada among the eunuchs who came and went, and at any rate, he had the same face as the master he was to serve, and he stood behind the ninth son like a colored shadow.

Ji'er walked lightly through the dark-shrouded corridor, the people of the Dragonfire Islands who preferred white, red, and gold. The alabaster walls are covered with sandalwood parapets painted with red cinnabar, followed by gold threads depicting patterns and portraits, with the centres of flowers, the eyes of beasts and men, and the stars of the sky set with cut and polished gems that glitter in the dim light of the day, guiding the beautiful young woman.
Regular footsteps were heard, and Ji'er grabbed the raised gem on the wall and swam like a lizard to climb the dome of the corridor, a special skill that belonged only to her and her brother. She and Dada's mother were outsiders, the daughter of a well-known juggler before being plundered to the Dragonfire Islands, and at a very young age she followed her father around, putting on spectacular performances for the powerful of all sides, throwing oranges, somersaults, headstands, flexing and stretching, manipulating birds, taming hungry wolves, and there was nothing they would not and were not good at. After becoming a slave of the lord, she also gained favor for a while, and gave birth to three children, although she was hanged by the eunuchs when she was five or six years old. But she still left her most precious possession to Ji'er.
Walking past Ji'er was a pair of eunuchs, the lord's inner court did not allow men other than him to appear, and the eunuch who walked at the end paused slightly, and then continued to walk forward.
Ji'er fell lightly after they had turned the corners of the corridor. There would be no more eunuchs patrolling after that, and she tiptoed into a courtyard that was not too strange with the help of a stout strangling vine. A few years ago, she was still here with hundreds of half-sisters like cockfights, and with the help of her brother, she gained the attention of the eunuch next to her father, and when the slaves around her master were once again rotated and cleansed, the eunuch sent her to the ruler of the Eastern Crown.
She untied the veil around her waist to wrap the overly distinctive curls and the part below the eyes, which was the most common attire of a woman in the inner court, and could not attract anyone's attention, so she calmly crossed the courtyard, through the inner porch, and came to a huge room, in the middle of which lay a man-long ivory incense boat, from which white smoke rose, and several women in a graceful and seductive posture sunk into the mountains of cushions and soft pillows, and indulged motionlessly in a sweet and rich strange atmosphere, and Ji'er held her breath imperceptibly, she did not know what these wereBut both her mother and her brother sternly warned her to stay away from them—fortunately, she now had a small room of her own, and she received spices from the eunuchs like everyone else, and then put her clothes on them to smoke, and covered her mouth and nose with a cotton cloth soaked in ice water.
She curled up into a corner where the smoke was thinnest, anxiously waiting.
Fortunately, she had waited only a little moment, and the man came in through the door, accompanied by other eunuchs who had come to serve the young women, carrying huge silver platters filled with fresh fruit and warm mead.
Dada walked up to Ji'er, knelt down, and offered a glass of honey wine, which Ji'er held in her hand only to realize that it was just a clean glass of ice water.
"Asian ......"
Dada put his finger to his lips, but no one paid attention to them, the eunuchs could only see Dada's back and Ji'er's ankles, and soon, the other eunuchs left, and one of the eunuchs looked for Dada, but he found that Dada was wiping something, and in this room, this situation was very common, they were either sweating profusely or vomiting.
After the eunuch left, only the women who were in numb meditation and crazy hallucinations remained, as well as Ji'er and Dada.
"Amos. Ji'er shouted urgently.
"My name is Dada. Dada said, "My master's name is Amoz." ”
"But he snatched it from you," Ji'er forcibly suppressed her anger, "He took your identity, snatched your name, and snatched the power and territory that belonged to you. ”
Dada shook his head, "It's all a foregone conclusion," he said, "Don't talk about the unchangeable, Ji'er, we don't have much time." ”
"Haven't your plans changed?" asked Ji'er, "Do you want to go back to him?"
"I am his eunuch. Dada said, scrutinizing Ji'er's face, partly out of deep longing, and partly out of caution—no one knew who had changed.
"Don't go back," said Ji'er, "he has decided not to spare your life, but when you return, he will cut off your head at once." ”
"What's going on?"
Ji Er closed her eyes, "News from the servants of the Great Eunuch - you have chosen the wrong person. ”
"Then I won't be able to go to our eldest brother. Is it a deal or a ......"
"It's not a deal," said Ji'er, "and he scoffed...... Amos, use you. ”
Dada's throat was bitter, he knew that Amos would not keep him for long, and that he would kill himself after satisfying his vanity and cruelty, but Dada did not expect that the man he had chosen would be so stupid, or, because of contempt and uselessness, that a eunuch might not be heavier than a speck of dust in the heart of a lord's son. But he knew he had to make a decision as soon as possible - but he didn't feel that anyone could help him, that he had lost the only value he had, and that a request would always get something, even if it was an insignificant eunuch, who would pay for him?
Perhaps someone else here would have asked Ji'er to plead with their master and father, but Dada knew very well that such an act would only drag another person into the abyss, and although many would do so under the pressure of death and torture just to relieve some of the fear and pain that would inevitably come, it would not be Dada.
"Go and plead with Cremar. ”
Dada was slightly taken aback.
"That dark-haired young mage, a disciple of Beavis," Ji'er grabbed Dada's hand, "let him ask our father and master for you, and he will grant it." ”
"But ......"
"Take this. Ji'er said, quickly removing a string of black tassels from the braid and placing it in Dada's palm.
"What is this?"
