The imperial capital has not changed from the original, the same high-rise buildings, the same drunken gold fans, the same decay and dirty.

This is the imperial capital of the glorious empire, and the scenery is infinite on the surface, but at night the southwest of the city is a veritable slum, a trading area in the dark, where many people can not buy things at auction will be traded, and many descendants of slaves live here, mixed with snakes and rats.

"Ed, your mental strength is too low, you can only go to slave school, when you grow up, I will send you over, don't be sad, child, as long as you perform well in slave school, at least you can have some freedom when choosing a master in the future."

"Mother, I know, I will study hard and will definitely perform well, don't worry about me."

The woman's voice was choked, but she tried very hard to comfort her child, and the child was very calm and comforted her mother, but Cangjue and I both knew that when his mother left here, the child would cry and cry until he fell asleep.

We have been in the imperial capital for almost two months, and we have been renting next door to the mother and son, and the mother can only come back once a month, the time is uncertain, sometimes it is an hour, sometimes it is half a day, she is a slave of a nobleman, in charge of housekeeping, it is said that she is diligent and never makes mistakes, so she has this privilege.

Most of the slaves here are actually reduced from commoners, and a very large number of civilians do not have the right to turn over, and the only ones are only because of the high-level spiritual powers, and the empire will not let the people of the hated country live outside.

There are many low-ranking nobles who will not go to the auction house to buy slaves, because the price is very high for them, so they will come here and pick some slaves to buy, the price is very right, and some even only need to provide a few months of nutrients to ensure the survival of their families.

As for the slaves who have not yet been picked up, although wearing a slave ring will only restrict their activities, they can only be in this area, and they can't go to other places, they will do some illegal things for the sake of star coins and nutrient solutions, and the empire will turn a blind eye to this, as long as it guarantees that it will not cooperate with the enemy and betray the country, and will not become bigger.

Slowly attracted a lot of real lawbreakers, and some tourist businessmen came here to trade, buy and sell slaves, etc., and it has also become a three-regardless zone, a district is only guarded by police on the edge, and the entrance and exit fees are done to make a little money, wrong, only in, not out.

Unless there is a riot, they generally don't care how many people die, they die when they die, but unfortunately there is no cemetery, and the cremated ashes will be taken home by the family, if there is no family, it is just a handful of ashes.

By the time her mother closed the door and left here, it was already late at night, and every time she came back, she took advantage of the night, for fear of attracting the attention of others, because there were only lonely children in the house, and there was no one else, and people like her, who worked as slaves in aristocratic mansions, had to be spied on every time they came back, because most of them had some things, such as star coins, such as nutrient solution, or food and clothing.

There are a lot of slaves in the district who have not been bought, and they have become robbery gangs, and instead of touching the slaves who are already working with the nobles, they will deal with their families, commonly known as protection money.

Unwilling to give? Torture first, and if you don't want to, then you have to kill, and they'd rather not have it themselves than let others have a jealousy mania. Without their families, these slaves would not have returned at all.

Cangjue and I have very high mental strength, so even if the child is crying in the quilt, it can be heard, and the weak and sad crying does not sound very wonderful at night, but fortunately, the child is very strong, and it is just like this once a month.

A slight creaking sound came from the entrance of the building, the buildings in this area have a very long history, the buildings are not high, only a few floors, and there are stairs, only one exit from the gate, a bit like some dangerous buildings on the earth, but these buildings are very solid, there is not even a crack between the walls, but the sound insulation is not very good, (is your mental power is too high) The house is very small (one bedroom and one living room are not enough for the two of you to live?) Cangyue: Get out! ）

When I heard the movement, I knew that someone had touched it, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and about 7 or 8 people stopped near us, wandered around a few times, made a deliberately low sound, and then gently knocked on the door of the neighbor next to me.

The child was targeted, and it seemed that one of them was still a friend of the child.

"Jelf, hurry up and knock on the door, if you don't knock I'll kill you!"

“。。 Other.. Kill me, I'll knock right away. ”

...

The crying went away, the knocking on the door grew louder, but there was no sound in the room, and I could make up that the child must have been shivering under the covers, and her mother must have told him not to let him open the door at will.

"Ed, it's me Jelf, I've had an accident, you open the door and let me hide~" Jerf was a little anxious at the door, and he didn't suppress the sound, there was a sudden sound in the opposite door, and several people outside immediately watched vigilantly, and after a while, no one came out, they put their hearts at ease, kicked Jelf hard, and was kicked to the ground, curled up on the ground, and tears flowed in pain.

Although this house is very old, but there are still protection facilities, breaking into other people's homes will be attacked, several people should not be too high in spirit, so this is the decision, and when you enter the house and there is no supporting housekeeper robot, the child is not at will?

"Ed, you open the door, I know that your mother has just left, she must have left you a lot of things, you can't use so much for a child, you take it out and share some with us, we can still protect you, otherwise no one cares about your life or death in the chaos zone!"

Those few people didn't hide it, they were afraid that the high-level people would hear the voice and come down to rob them, but there was no hair at that time, and now they can't even enter the house and grab a P, I can't wait to attract people, if I can get a piece of the pie, it's best if I can't share it, and I can't let the dead cub have a good time!

There was silence, and the angry people raised their feet and kicked the door, and after a while, the indicator light on the door turned from green to red, and several people immediately retracted their feet and stayed away from the door.

"Bang" The door on the opposite side suddenly opened, and out came a very strong man, the muscles on his arms bulging one after another, looking coldly at a few thugs, who bowed their heads a little stiffly.

"I'll want all that little's stuff." As soon as he finished speaking, although several people were depressed in their hearts, they still happily picked up their stinky feet on the surface.

"Of course it's all big brother, we're just telling you the news."

"That's right, I've been a neighbor for so long, and I don't let you help take care of the children, so I don't think you can be seen~"

"Yes, yes, that stinky bitch walks quietly every time he comes back, and we followed him for a long time to find it."

......

For their praise, although the man's face was fierce, he was very happy in his heart, but he was very dissatisfied with the neighbor's mother and son ignoring him like this.

This situation only lasted for a short time, and as the footsteps became more and more, there were more than 10 households in this building, all of them were all there, and the man was not the one with the highest mental power, and there were two guys who were both B-level like him.

The three of them looked at each other and knew what each other thought, and the others knew that they would definitely not be able to catch anything this time, but they could still go in and have a look, in case there was anything good, even a futon or something.

The vigorous slamming of the door began, but this door was stronger than expected, this is the mother specially begged the Lord's house, begged for a long time, and slept with the housekeeper several times before she could bring home the eliminated protective door, so that the son alone also had an extra guarantee.

"What's the matter, this door is quite sturdy~" The man on the other side looked at the protective door a little greedily, and he didn't want to do it anymore.

"The three of us together, this door is about to break, and it's useless for you to stay." The woman next to him put away the disdain in her eyes, and dispelled the man's thoughts with one sentence.

Indeed, there are big craters on the door, they smashed them out, the red light bulb has begun to flicker, and it will explode after a few more clicks, and it doesn't make sense to have this door or not.

A few thugs standing far away looked at them very excitedly, just waiting for this gang to go in and beat the disobedient cub to death, hum, they are already very good, just things, and they didn't say that they wanted his life.

The child lying on the ground crawled to the corner with his hands and feet together, his eyes shining with jealousy, excitement, and malice.

"Squeak." They were just about to put up their posture and mental strength when they noticed that the door next to them suddenly opened.

This building is still a little bad, it has not been repaired for many years, and even the door is squeaky and creaky.

"You're so noisy, can you get out?" I looked at them with a smile.

Woman? Young woman. It's just a little smaller.,The development is not convex and backward.,The face is average.。。 Several men were scanning the woman who suddenly appeared up and down, and the woman standing next to them snorted dissatisfiedly, looked at the bean sprouts in front of her with contempt, and straightened her chest.

"Don't point fingers here."

One of the men reached out to grab me, and before he could get close to me, a terrifying spiritual force swept through the entire building, these people did not dare to move, their fists clenched, and the man who was about to grab me just now withdrew his hand in fright and stood aside honestly.

"Poof~" The low mental power has begun to vomit blood, and the body is shaky and can only hold on to the wall, and the eyes are slowly soaked in blood.

I withdrew my mental strength, they breathed the air hard, their legs trembled, the three B-level lowered their heads, the original arrogance was gone, and they stood aside in a proper manner, without making a sound. Everyone else huddled in a corner trying to reduce their presence.

A few gangsters wanted to cry without tears, they knew that this woman, the tourist merchant who came in for 10,000 star coins, and a man, they couldn't rob the merchants, otherwise there would be no merchants coming to buy and sell in the future, and they paid little attention to them, who knew if they lived here? It's so strong.

The door opened, and a child about 8 years old walked out with a short blade, he looked at these people vigilantly, and finally saw me, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked up to me, and knelt on his knees with a "poof", and looked at me with a pair of eyes stubbornly and reverently.

"You saved me, and you will be my master in the future."

。。。 This kid is so smart, I looked around, they all lowered their heads and looked respectful, smiled, and helped the child up.

"Your friend betrayed you, what do you want?" Rubbing his little curly hair, looking into his amber eyes, he asked.

“。。。 Mother said that there were no friends in this district, and no slaves would have friends. Ed looked at Jelf in the corner with an expectant look at him, was silent for a moment, and then looked up again with a determined gaze.

“。。。” This would have been a little sad if the children of the earth had been in the past, no, a child of his age might not have been able to figure out what was going on.

"Then you follow me, you go back and sleep well, and I'll take care of it here."

After listening to my words, Ed hesitated, but did not want to refute my order, and reluctantly went back, still staring at me before closing the door, for fear that I would abandon him.

Ed knew that someone was coming from the house next door, but he rarely went out, and every time his mother came back, he would leave food for him, and he himself consciously saved money, because he didn't know if his mother would come back next month.

After more than two months of being a neighbor who had never even seen each other, he was like a voyeur, secretly lying on the balcony during the day and looking around, not daring to show his body at all, and only falling asleep at night when he looked at the starry sky.

"You can go." As soon as I finished speaking, the group dispersed, for fear that I would be killed if I took a step too late, but the child barely stood up, staggered a few steps and did not hold steady, and knelt on the ground and rubbed against me.

"I won't take you, you don't have to."

The kid named Jelf was also very smart, and he used bitter tricks, probably because he saw that I was very gentle with Eddard, but he was still too young, and the look of jealousy and viciousness still hung on his face, and it looked very distorted to make a pleading appearance.

Although he is also very smart, he is not used in the right place, and if he chooses one of the two, it is still pleasing to the eye.

I didn't look at him again, I turned around and went back to the house, Cangjue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and a small table was placed in front of him, and he was making a puppet.

"News from Hill." Cangjue put down the half-drawn puppet in his hand and beckoned to me, until he stopped me in his arms and slowly spoke.

"What's the news?" I quickly sat up straight, looking serious.

"Erlian is dead, the plan with Pu Yiguo is successful, there will be a scandal in the next few days, we can act, and Yuan Xin and Jeff have arrived in the imperial capital."

I'm happy in my heart.,I've been busy for almost three months.,It's finally over.,But before that.。。

"Tomorrow we can settle Ronald's matter, and I want to take Ed's mother with me."

As for Yuan Xin and Jeff when they were in Pu Yiguo, Ronald had to let them come over, after all, the technology of driving a ship is better, and he can better play the role of transforming a starship, Yuan Xin is a subordinate of Jeff, A-level earth system level 7, not long ago, he officially overwhelmed Zhang Xiao to become the first person under Jeff, and he single-fingered the technology of driving a ship, so Zhang Xiao worked harder after going back, plus the stimulation of the previous incident.

"Okay."
