Chapter 67: Slaves
"What level of goblin engineering has you reached?" Ye Ci suddenly said without a beginning or an end.
"It's almost advanced, as long as someone gives him follow-up materials, it is very fast to ensure that he rushes to the level, but it's just ......" Bai Mo paused slightly: "You came to him to be a siege machine for siege and defense." ”
"Hmm."
"This blueprint is hard to find, at least it can't be bought on the market, and the major guilds have long seen the advantages of this goblin engineering, and they have each raised a group of such life players, and besides, the major guilds have many more people in the auction market than our guilds, so it is not easy to grab things under them. Take our guild as an example, from the establishment of the guild to the present, the various drawings we have grabbed from the auction market do not add up to 500 copies, which is really insignificant compared to the huge amount of drawings put in every day. Bai Mo sighed: "Some precious drawings only have one drawing, and they can only be handed over to a life player to learn." Although I also know that it is better to have the most precious recipes in the hands of a few people, if only one person has them, it will greatly affect the progress of production. In particular, most of the recipes above the Advanced Life Skill Specialist require the cooperation of several professional skills, and if you can have a few more formulas at this time, you can greatly alleviate the problem of slow production progress.
Ye Ci naturally understood what Bai Mo meant, she couldn't help but think of Mara's skills, copying drawings and copying books, if these two skills can be used, it can solve the problem that Bai Mo is worried about, not only that, but also can copy some outdated but relatively rare recipes and skill books in the world for sale, which can not only make a lot of money but also secretly stab the major guilds, which is a good way.
However, the prerequisite for all this is to be able to bring the Arauna, Mara, and Joram out of the tribe of Doro. And now she just vaguely mentioned the idea of taking Arauna to Darufar, which has made the old man so scrupled, if she proposes to take the family away, I wonder if the old man will directly use that artifact to knock himself to death?
Thinking of this, Ye Ci felt completely unsure. She can control the path she wants to take, but she doesn't have the ability to control the judgment and things to be done by the control system, although she already feels that there is a great chance of taking Arau away, but until the last moment, everything is uncertain, and it really can't be included in the plan and has to be annoyed.
"What's wrong? Looks like you're worried about it too? "Anyway, Bai Mo is worried about these problems now, and he can't worry about anything, and these things can't be solved in a moment, but it doesn't seem to be going well with Ye Ci's appearance, so Bai Mo also has to ask.
"It's not a bother, it's just that I'm not sure of the outcome." Ye Ci truthfully told Bai Mo about the Yalao family, and sure enough, Bai Mo was very surprised, and he said again and again: "It's incredible, it's incredible." ”
"How?" It was rare for Bai Mo to have such an expression, and Ye Ci couldn't help laughing: "Yo, my cousin will also have this kind of surprised expression?" I thought you were always smiling. ”
Bai Mo stretched out his hand and patted Ye Ci's head, which was considered a response to her words, but then he said: "It would be great if I could bring these three people." Then, as long as a tree can reach the master-level engineering, we will not be able to defend the Mithril vein. ”
Ye Ci nodded: "That's right, Yoran is a master builder, and he can build offensive and defensive buildings such as arrow towers and city walls, and surround the Mithril veins, and Mara can copy the drawings, so she can get more kinds of offensive and defensive machinery drawings or architectural drawings, as long as the defensive machinery is made, put it on such an offensive and defensive building for fear of others attacking?" ”
Bai Mo also agreed: "Although I don't know what the future will be, at least for now, such a design is a one-man affair." He thought for a moment and stood up: "That's it, I'll let Timely Rain recruit more engineering players and construction players, and take precautions." ”
Ye Ci exhaled: "This is good, but I don't know if I can take this family of three people." ”
"Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven." Bai Mo patted Ye Ci on the shoulder, put his bowl into the kitchen, and went into the house to prepare for these things.
Ye Ci was still eating, but he obviously didn't have much appetite anymore. Seeing Ye Ci so worried, Ye Nantian couldn't help but pat her hand and said with a smile: "Little Ci, come on, don't embarrass yourself too much, you just need to remember that no matter when, your parents are behind your back, and they will support you." ”
Ye Ci was slightly stunned, looking at Ye Nantian in a daze.
Zuo Xiaolan also patted Ye Ci's head with a smile and said, "Yes, we are all a family, no matter what the reason, no one can separate us, so you just do it." ”
Family, family? Ye Ci suddenly realized something as if he had lifted a butterfly empowerment! It turned out that she had forgotten about it all along, and she had forgotten such an important thing! Ye Ci stood up suddenly, and smiled at his parents: "Mom, Dad, I know!" I know! With that, she ran directly to her room, leaving Zuo Xiaolan and Ye Nantian there confused, not understanding what Ye Ci understood.
Ye Ci got on the line and walked quickly to the door of the tent at Arauna's house. Looking through the cracks in the animal skins on the tent, I saw that Yoran was holding the broth and putting it in the hands of the two children, caressing the heads of the two children with a loving face, and the softness and kindness between her eyebrows were very familiar to Ye Ci, because her parents also treated her with such eyes and love!
She had forgotten about it. Joram, Marah, and Aronah, they are one family! Although Ye Ci has been saying that there is a family and a family, he has never thought of them as a group, but divided them into three individuals to think, and compared them with each other, he felt that which of them was more loyal to himself and who was less loyal to himself. It was only now that she felt that she was very wrong, she should not have looked at the three of them separately in the first place, and if she looked at the three of them as an individual, I am afraid that this matter would be much easier.
Thinking like this, Ye Ci couldn't help but feel surging in her heart, she stretched out her hand, picked up a piece of animal skin, and walked into the tent.
"Ah, you're here, I just took a nap of broth, hurry up and drink a bowl, it's cold in the mountains in winter, drink a bowl of broth to warm up." As soon as Yolan saw that it was Ye Ci who came in, he hurriedly beckoned her to sit down. Arauna, who was on the side, also immediately saluted Ye Ci, but Ye Ci did not let him stand up but signaled him to sit down and eat quickly.
After a few days of getting along, Mara became more familiar with Ye Ci, and hurriedly went to help Yolan get a bowl of broth for Ye Ci.
Ye Ci took the bowl, thanked the family, and began to drink the soup. Although the real body is full of wine and food, but the body in the game is still tired, drinking this bowl of broth seems to immediately relieve her physical fatigue and let her physical strength slowly recover.
Arauna looked at Ye Ci quietly. Suddenly, he spoke! "White Elf, have you saved enough ore?"
Rauna has been following Ye Ci all the time, so she naturally knows how much ore she took, so Ye Ci didn't hide it from him. And why did Arauna ask that, Ye Ci thought she could guess it.
"So, are you going to buy Leah a piano soon?" Ya Lao held the bowl of broth tightly in his hand, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Ye Ci as if he was restraining some emotion.
"Yes."
"White Elf, do you know what Leah's greatest ability is?" Arauna thought for a long time before asking.
"What is it?" Ye Ci didn't answer Arauna directly, but just looked at him with a smile, and his eyes swept over Yoran and Mara beside him. The faces of the two of them were slightly lonely, and it seemed that they already knew what Arauna was going to say.
"The best thing about her is that she can take people out of the island." Arauna lowered his voice, his expression and expression were very mysterious, as if Ye Ci really didn't know about this matter.
In order to match Yalauna's mood, Ye Ci also pretended to be surprised, and she was a little surprised: "Ah, this ability is amazing!" ”
"Yes, I've heard that this is a family heirloom. And Taku's departure was also helped by Leah's ****** grandmother" Arauna said here with a hint of pride, this is his and Leah's secret, naturally others will not know.
This question is really unclear to Ye Ci, but for Ye Ci, this question is clear and unclear, and it is obviously not important. What matters is what Arau has to say later: "So, as long as I return the money to Leah, I can get out of here?" ”
Arauna was stunned, and Joran was stunned, and Mara was even more stunned, and the three of them looked at Ye Ci silently, as if she were a stranger.
"What? Am I wrong? Ye Ci shrugged his shoulders.
"No, no, not wrong. After you buy Leah the piano, Leah will definitely send you out of here. Arauna bowed her head, looking a little sad.
Ye Ci stretched out his hand and mō his hair, smiling and comforting him: "What's wrong?" Reluctant to let me go? ”
Arauna looked down at the broth in her hand, as if she was making up her mind. But Yoran said slowly: "White Elf, Arau takes this child very much like you, I hope you can stay forever, do you have to leave?" ”
Ye Ci nodded: "Yes, Yoran, I am an adventurer, for me, a more beautiful and vast world is outside, outside this island, outside this sea area" Ye Ci's words were quickly interrupted by Mara on the side before he finished speaking: "But, don't you think we are beautiful here?" We have dense forests, we have wide seas, you can still hear the singing of mermaids, how beautiful, why leave? Is the world out there so beautiful? ”
Ye Ci knew that Yoran and Mara's eagerness was not because of themselves, but because of what Arauna had already decided, so they were so anxious. For this, Ye Ci could only look at Mara with a gentle gaze, and said slowly in a soothing tone: "Mara, you are right, this place is very beautiful, the sky is very blue, the forest is very green, and the people are very kind, although I don't have a good impression of mermaids, but I can't deny that they are very beautiful and their singing is also very beautiful." In the outside world, there are places full of fresh huā, but there are no grass in other places, there are snow-capped mountains, deserts, forests, and waterfalls. In the outside world, the scenery is different every step you take. It's nice here, but there's adventure in my veins, and I love that life of the unknown, and I crave it, that kind of prickly jī. ”
"Thorn jī?" Mara didn't quite understand Ye Ci's words, so she just tilted her head and looked at Ye Ci.
"Yes, you don't know what you're going to get in the next moment, maybe it's danger, maybe it's a harvest, maybe it's suffering, you never know. However, it is precisely because you don't know that you feel that the world is so colorful instead of like here, where there is always a blue sky, green trees, and beautiful mermaids. ”
Yolan listened attentively to Ye Ci's words, she had never left this tribe since she was born, and these outside worlds were a very rare thing for her.
She suddenly smiled bitterly: "I think I know why my husband longs for the outside world so much until he dies, perhaps, he is also an adventurer." ”
"Mom, you can't say that, say that," Mara's eyes were dàng, as if she was about to roll down tears.
Arauna stretched out his hand and shook his head gently, "Don't say anything about Mara." ”
Mara bit her lower mouth, and although she was still very young, she knew a lot of things. She lowered her head and was very sad: "Brother." Back then, Taku also longed for the outside world, but in the end, only the mermaid brought back his news, he left, and never came back. If my brother was like Taku, would you remember me and my mother? ”
Ye Ci saw that the opportunity was ripe, so he showed a look of surprise: "Wait, wait, Arauna, do you want to leave here?" ”
"Yes!" When Arauna heard Ye Ci ask, he immediately raised his head, without hesitation, and was unswerving.
"But, but, Darufar shouldn't let you go." Ye Ci shook his head: "I think he attaches great importance to you, and besides, he is Taku's younger brother, he shouldn't want Taku's incident to happen again." ”
"Yes, yes, brother, the White Elf is absolutely right, Lord Darufar will not agree to you leaving." Before Mara could finish her words, she was stopped by Yoran, who shook her head lightly at Mara, and then sighed: "Mara, don't say it, your brother has the right to decide the future for himself." ”
Mara bit her mouth and lowered her head, tears streaming from her eyes.
"White Elf, I need your help." Arauna looked at Ye Ci, as tenacious as a man.
"My help?" Ye Ci pointed at herself, acting innocent, she actually asked knowingly.
"White Elf, please take me out of here!" Arau put down the bowl in his hand, walked to Ye Ci's side, knelt down on one knee on his right, put his left hand into a fist at Xiōng's mouth, lowered his head, and said very sincerely. "If you are willing to take me away, I will swear that I will be your slave forever, and I will never betray me in my life!"
Ye Ci had actually thought so a long time ago, but she didn't expect this sentence to come out of Yalao's mouth, which still surprised her a little. She quietly looked at Arona who was kneeling on one knee in front of her, the highest and most honorable etiquette of the Rydora tribe he practiced. It is the highest courtesy that one person can give to another.
She looked at Arau for a while, then stretched out her hand, helped Arauna up, let him sit beside her, and said with a cautious expression: "Arauna, do you really want to leave?" ”
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I'm going to be a hero like Taku! I don't want us Dororos to be nameless in this way, I want everyone to know that we Doras are not a useless race expelled by humans and wild people, we Dora are one of the best races in the world. I don't want us Dora people to continue to be under the control of the powerful and under the guidance of demons, as we are now, when we can protect ourselves. So I'm leaving, I'm going to train, I'm going to be the second Taku, no, I'm going to be a hero bigger than Taku!! Arauna's voice was not loud, but it was loud, so that Ye Ci, my family, couldn't help but applaud the ambition of this NPC.
"I can take you away." Ye Ci looked at Yalao's dark eyes, and answered cautiously for a while. After hearing his answer, a flash of ecstasy flashed in Arauna's eyes, but Ye Ci's next words made him nervous again: "It's not ......"
"But what?"
"But I can't accept you as my slave." This was a decision that Ye Ci made after hesitating for a while.
"Why!" Arauna obviously found it incredible, and in his simple mind he just felt that he would not be able to leave this place and see the outside world without being a slave of Ye Zi. Therefore, Ye Ci's answer was tantamount to indirectly rejecting his request, which naturally made Arauna very helpless: "I want you to do your efforts, I am willing!" ”
"No, I can't say yes whether you want it or not." No matter how much Yalauna insisted, Ye Ci refused to agree to Yalauna, because in the moment just now, she suddenly thought of a way to take the family together. Sometimes refusing doesn't mean not wanting, and agreeing doesn't mean accepting, and the word yù rejection is a very intriguing word.
"Why! You're going to give me an answer! Arauna is very anxious, he actually has very strange feelings for Ye Ci, that is, admiration and jealousy, admiration and some dissatisfaction, although his current identity is still Ye Ci's mercenary, but he also seems a little reckless and uninhibited.
And Ye Ci is not taboo about this, she knows that this is just because Arauna's favorability towards herself has not reached the point of loyalty, if this has been achieved, there will be no such situation. "Actually, the answer is very simple." Ye Zi looked at Arauna, then at Yoran and Mara, her eyes were tolerant and smiling: "Because as a hero, he should not be a slave." ”
Different from the tolerant thinking of "heroes don't ask where they come from", on the Maga continent, identity is very important, and if a hero or warrior has an inglorious background, it is very bad for his growth. It was with this in mind that Ye Ci decided not to take Arauna as a slave, because she wanted to maintain Arauna's pride and make Yoran and Mara die for her.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, there was calm in the tent. After a long time, she heard Yoran crying in a low voice, and she knelt in front of Ye Ci, gently brushing the instep of Ye Ci with her hair, and Mara did the same. Yolan said: "My master, thank you, thank you for giving my son the dream and journey to become a hero, my son cannot be your slave, and me and my daughter, we are willing to become your slave instead of him, we are willing to spend our lives serving you, my master!" ”
"It's the same with Mara, Mara thinks the same thing as Mommy!"
Ye Ci quietly looked at Yolan and Mara's favorability towards him, he had reached the highest point of loyalty, and it seemed that as long as she shirked yù and indulged in it, she would be able to take down Yalau as well. She hurriedly helped Yoran and Mara up and shook her head: "How is this possible? I can't even promise Arauna as a slave, how can I promise you? What's more, even if I agree to your request, it's useless, I always want to leave here, and you won't leave your hometown, so ......" Ye Ci smiled and shook his head to refuse.
Arauna looked at her mother and sister, and suddenly said, "Can you take us out of here with you?" ”
"Together?" Ye Ci blinked, looking very surprised, but he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, it was almost done, and it was finally done.
"Yes, together." Arauna nodded: "To tell you the truth, I am the only man in the Lou family, if I leave and leave my mother and sister in the tribe, I don't think I will be at ease." ”
"Doesn't Darufar take good care of your family?"
"It is true that Lord Darufar takes special care of us orphans and widows, but Lord Darufar is the leader of the entire tribe, and even if he takes care of us, there are many things that he can't take care of, and I am in the tribe, my mother and sister are still being bullied, and if I leave, I am afraid that their lives will be even worse. So, if you agree, I'd like to leave with my mom and sister. That way, they can see me at all times and don't have to worry too much. ”
Arauna seems to have grown up at this moment, he is very mature in his thinking, and he is no longer a teenager who only insists on doing his own thing for his own likes and dislikes, but really like the pillar of a family.
"What do Yoran and Mara think?" Naturally, this kind of thing should not only be done by Arauna, but also by the opinion of the person concerned: "Do you agree to leave the tribe with Arauna?" ”
Joran looked at Mara and thought for a while before he said slowly, "Although I have never left the tribe, and I don't know what is outside the tribe, if the master is willing to take us away and does not dislike us, we are willing to leave the tribe with Arauna." We are a family and we are reluctant to be separated if there is no special reason for this. ”
Ye Ci nodded, and so far all the development made her very satisfied: "Okay, if you insist so much, I can take you away." When Ye Ci said this, Ye Ci immediately heard three pieces of system information.
"Jolancheng, a member of the Doro tribe, looks at your slaves."
"Mara, a member of the Doro tribe, becomes your slave."
"Arauna, a member of the Doro tribe, becomes your shì guard."
shì guard? Ye Ci was slightly stunned, in the previous life, she had only heard of the mercenary system and the slave system, and she had never heard of this shìwei, could it be that the system that was not triggered in the previous life was actually triggered in her life? Just when Ye Ci was thinking about it like this, he received another system message: "Due to your efforts and seriousness, you have discovered the slave system and the shì guard system, do you need to publish your ID?" ”
"Nope.
"Of course, this kind of thing should be as low-key as possible, if more people know that they have slaves and shì guards now, I am afraid that it is not a good thing, and it is better to be more jealous.
"After... The unremitting efforts and serious research of the players have discovered the slave system and the shì guard system, and now the slave markets in major cities are open, as well as the shì guard market, players are invited to experience the new gameplay in the game, and I wish you a happy game. When Ye Ci refused to announce the ID, such a message immediately popped up in the world, which almost immediately caused heated discussions among the major guilds and all players. However, these don't seem to have much to do with Ye Ci.
Because, the thing that Ye Ci is most concerned about now is how to run to Darufar to tell him about the three people he wants to take away. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided that it would be better to explain the matter to Darufar as soon as possible, because now she had found out. Knowing Nober's secret, and she had already been to the illusion, she was afraid that Nober would soon know about it, and if she didn't make it clear about her departure before then, she probably wouldn't be able to leave so easily.
Ye Ci first went to buy the piano that Leah needed, then went to the grocer to buy some of the most worthwhile recipes to bring out, and after huā had the last ore on his body, he walked towards Darufar's tent. However, before she had reached Darufar's tent, she saw Arauna standing in the moonlight, watching her quietly.
"What's wrong? Arauna? Why stand here? Ye Ci was a little curious, and stepped forward and asked.
"Master, I know what you're going to do, and I want to go with you about this." Arauna saluted Ye Ci, and since he became his own shì guard, he behaved much more politely and very politely.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Yalau didn't know what he was going to do, and he was so insistent on following, Ye Ci was a little worried that it wouldn't be good.
"I confirm, master, I know what I'm doing. I have a duty to the tribe. Arauna was very sure, it seems that even now Ye Zi ordered him to go back to his tent, the guard is not the same as the slave, the shì guard has the right to make his own decisions in some matters, while the slave does not, and the slave will obey the master's arrangement 100 percent, whether it is wrong or wrong.
"Okay." Ye Ci nodded, anyway, she also wanted to make a deal with Darufar through Nobo's matter, and sell a favor to Darufar, so that he could willingly let go of this family of three. Originally, she was afraid that if she said it alone, it would not be very convincing, but now if she added Arauna, she was afraid that it would be easier to convince Darufar.
Darufar sat quietly in front of his huge table, as usual, which was piled with books of all kinds, and under the light of beans, Darufar's snow-white hair and beard were dyed with some golden face, which looked very sacred. The artifact staff was quietly leaning on the chair on his right hand, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could get it, Ye Ci looked at the staff, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get it in his life. Anyway, I've already gained a lot from coming here this time, so don't be too greedy.
Darufar felt Ye Ci enter the tent, he didn't raise his head, just continued to look at his book, but said slowly: "I heard that you have already bought Leah's piano. ”
"Yes, honorable Lord Darufar."
"Are you going to leave?" Yes, my lord, I've been here for too long, and I still have a lot of journey to continue, so, sorry, I need to continue my journey. Ye Ci replied to Darufar in a very standardized language, for this kind of high-IQ NPC, Ye Ci will not play any tricks, lest he be caught up, he will be retaliated by the NPC.
Darufar nodded, then closed the book in front of him, raised his head, and quietly looked at the boy standing behind Ye Ci, and said after a long time, "What about you?" Arauna, have you already made your decision? ”
"Yes, Lord Darufar, I have also made a decision, I want to follow her out of here and see the outside world, just like Taku back then." Arauna's voice was not loud, but he could hear that there was an unbreakable insistence in his voice.
Darufar seemed to grow a little old as he listened to Arauna's words, and he sat there like this, let out a long breath, and then closed his eyes: "After all these years, I thought that I would not have heard someone say that he was leaving the tribe, but I still heard it. The last time I heard that, I was a teenager like you, Arona, and Taku stood in front of me and said to me like this, and I was proud of him. After so many years, now you are telling me again, I—" Speaking of this, Darufar paused slightly, and then a loving smile appeared on his face: "I am also proud of you. ”
Arauna was originally nervous, but after hearing Darufar's words, he suddenly relaxed. And when he relaxed, his only reaction was to look at Darufar in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time, and only after a while did he say, "Is that so?" Lord Darufar, are you really proud of me? "Of course, my child, I am proud of you to those who have the courage to take this step," Darufar said here for a moment, then looked at Ye Ci before continuing: "What a proud and happy thing it is that you can move forward for your dreams. Arauna, I look forward to the day when you become a great shaman. ”
Arauna was even more surprised: "What! Are you talking about shamans, not warriors? ”
"Why a warrior, aren't you a shaman?" Darufar stood up, holding the staff that made Ye Ci salivate, and slowly walked in front of Ye Ci, he looked down at Ye Ci, sighed, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I think, what you said is right." People should pursue their dreams, and I can't leave him here. Their family, please, White Elf. ”
Darufar's words surprised Ye Ci, he hasn't said anything yet, but Darufar knows everything, this is the real BUG......
However, despite this surprise in his heart, Ye Ci nodded and agreed to Darufar's request. Then she glanced at Arauna behind her before she said to Darufar, "Dear Lord Darufar, I actually have another thing to tell you today. ”
"What's the matter?"
Ye Ci sighed, and then told Darufar everything he and Arau had seen in the pitch-black hole and everything in the illusion. Darufar's face was shocked: "What! You say that Nob actually colluded with Auja! ”
"No, it shouldn't be the withdrawal of the addition, it is just an illusion, and the only thing that is in the illusion is the shì female Sith of the withdrawal."
"It's all the same." Darufar's face sank: "I only know that there is a sealed heart of flame under the pitch-black hole xué, and I have been carefully guarding it for so many years, not allowing any demon to have a chance to get close!" But he didn't expect that Nobo actually colluded with the demon to steal this heart of flame! What the hell was he thinking! ”
"I'm afraid, Nobo is coveting your position." Ye Ci sighed and slowly pointed out the key points of the matter. After all, judging from the whole incident, Darufar has lived too long, and although he is powerful, it is inevitable that there will be some restless people under him.
Darufar stared at Ye Ci tightly, unable to say a word anymore.
In the night sky above the Doro tribe, there was a bright moon, and the bright moonlight quietly sprinkled on this ancient tribe, which seemed to be quiet and seemed to hide ambitions. @。
