Chapter 68: The New Master
Although the afterglow of the sunset has gradually set on the soft face, there is still a trace of discomfort, a long time in the dark basement makes the girl a little strange to the light she suddenly saw, but soon, she straightened up and let herself bathe in the sun, the slave owners will put the slaves in the basement management naturally have their own ideas, although this is a backward era, but they still know that too much sunlight will make the woman's skin into too much melanin, although they don't know what melanin is, But they still have this common sense, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, it is just the infinite reverie of the obscene traversers, and they are lagging behind closely with the times, not the brain.
The slightly pleated skirt could not completely cover the girl's smooth and jade skin, her height was not yet one meter five, her green hair had no shawl, the pair of sand dunes on her chest had not yet revealed her enchantment, and she had hemp ropes on her hands and feet, which was the only modifying item on her body, but these did not affect the girl's stunning appearance.
The moment Harbas saw the girl who came out, his brows were a little unnaturally furrowed, and several nobles below also made dissatisfied complaints, this should be the finishing work of today's slave auction, but it turned out to be a milky yellow-haired girl, which is simply unacceptable to them, could it be that Harbas has exhausted his donkey skills? With such suspicions, there has been a lot of ridicule.
When the girl heard such a mockery, her steps trembled slightly, she did not hope that she would be able to sell it for a very high price, and all she hoped for was to leave the dark, damp dungeon that would never see the light of day, and the most primitive material satisfaction of a piece of dry hard bread, if any master could not hesitate to pour her a glass of inferior milk, she swore that she would not leave this master without losing her life, and she could accept any beatings and insults, but these ridicules were clear and clear. She didn't even deserve it.
However, despite the girl's slow steps, trying to imitate the sultry steps of the noble slaves with whom she once lived, she still had to go to the edge after all, but the moment she walked to the wooden platform, the noisy and whining nobles gradually quieted down.
The girl looked a little confused and scared. Secretly lifted the world-slumped face, and looked at those eyes who were unscrupulously examining her body a little evasively, and gradually, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, she saw it, that. Two, countless greedy eyes that want to swallow her stomach, that kind of "chiluo" naked eyes, which any woman can naturally understand, that is a strong possessiveness, that is the greed that is determined to win, and the beast-like gaze that wants to pounce on her and press her to the ground now.
Harbas's original expression was constantly deteriorating. But he has been doing such a deal all the year round, how delicate his vision and heart are, and the slightest change in the scene can't escape his greedy eyes, especially the moment he sees this girl raise her face, he knows that he will definitely make a windfall.
"Dolvis, I'm going to make this slave, no matter how much it costs. Whatever the means, don't be stingy, remember, I must get her. Hostwater's eyes were fixed on the girl standing on the wooden platform, her throat wriggling like a giant earthworm.
"Oh my God! Is this an elf or a goblin? Rand's surprise was definitely no less than that of Hostwater, and he pushed away the slave girl who had been holding him all along. Completely forgetting everything around her, even though she was still a developing girl, but even now she is full of charm that makes men unable to extricate themselves, if it takes time. Definitely a goblin in the cholera world, I really didn't expect that Harbas would have such a means, the previous money was all wasted, I should have left it all behind, left it until this moment, and gave it a go, but it didn't matter, I turned around and looked at the more than thirty knights he led, and squinted at Hoswater not far away, he already had an idea in his heart.
When Rand squinted at Hostwater, the other party also turned his head to look at him with the same gaze, and the two smiled silently at each other.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Harbas raised his hands in satisfaction and kept making a downward gesture, the scene was boiling with anger, the eyes of Rand and Horswater had already told him that everything he wanted only needed to wait for a few minutes, if nothing happened, this slave could at least let him work hard for half a year next year without worrying about the market being monopolized by others, with the reputation of this slave, he was definitely sure to become famous overnight.
Although Halbas has made such a move, the boiling scene is obviously a little out of control, the little girl on the stage looks at the nobles with that hazy and somewhat timid eyes, however, at this moment, her heart is by no means what is shown on her face, she is very happy, very happy, since the day she became a slave, this is probably her happiest day.
The uncle on the left is obviously over fifty years old, but it is not difficult to see from his graceful and luxurious clothes and those strong guards that he should be a nobleman with high power, and the one on the right, although he is younger than him in age and slightly more handsome than him, but in terms of pomp, he is obviously lower than him, according to these, he should finally fall into the hands of the man called the Duke of Rand over there, although the slave has no right to be picky about the appearance of his master, But those stubbles that are as hard as nails don't know if they will feel a stinging sensation when they are stuck in their skin, which is probably the only worry in the girl's heart.
"Hello, do you have any clothes for sale?" A man with black hair seems to be out of place here, it is rare to see a man with such a strand of hair, his facial features are relatively soft, there are no obvious edges and corners, such a man is really rare, but people who do business do not turn away customers because of their strange appearance.
"Of course, may I ask the distinguished guests, what kind of style do you need?" The boss was a man in his thirties, the skin on his face was a little chapped, his eyes were deeply sunken, and at this time, facing Lin Xiu, who was covered in dry blood, was making an inviting gesture.
Lin Xiu walked straight in, glanced around, and chose a brown top and light yellow trousers. I chose a pair of deerskin boots again, pinned the long sword to my waist, although there was no jade tree in the wind, but it was clean and free, and I took out a gold leaf and pressed it on the table.
"Uh, can I inquire about the situation here?" Lin Xiu tapped the coins on the table with his right index finger, but the middle-aged boss saw Lin Xiu take out the gold leaf on the table. There was a bit of a trance, his eyes were dull, Lin Xiu repeated it again, and he woke up suddenly, but his eyes were still staring at the golden leaf on the table.
"Of course, oh no. Distinguished guests, it is a pleasure to serve you, this is Murrichhaus, the border of the Roman Empire, although it is not as rich as the center of Rome, and it does not have the charm of the imperial capital, but it still has a rare scenery. If you need it, under which may serve as your guide, oh no, please forgive my unreasonableness, and I can be your most faithful servant. "The middle-aged boss is using the most abusive words to carry out the temptation.
"Why is it so lively over there?" Lin Xiu stood up, and looked at the place where the auction was taking place in the distance with some confusion, from here. It wasn't hard for him to see what was happening over there, the traveler's modified body that wouldn't obstruct his vision in the slightest.
"Oh my God! It was the biggest event of the year at Murrihouse, and Lord Harbas was auctioning off his rare treasures, and the nobles in the stands had traveled all the way to the place. The so-called is to be able to buy a precious treasure in such a grand event, as long as you want, I can introduce you immediately. I am sure that Lord Harbas will be very happy to have such an honored guest as you, and I assure you in the name of the Most High God! The middle-aged boss was still talking humbly, and the moment he raised his head, he found that the guest in front of him had left directly, which made him a little frightened in his heart, not because of the cheap clothes, but because of the other party's shot, even the richest lord of Morrihaus is afraid that it is not so cool, such a distinguished guest should at least be the royal family in the Roman imperial capital. As long as he keeps up with the pace of the other party and serves the other party with pleasure, then it is obvious that he can take this step to the sky and completely leave the Murrihouse, which has been attacked by wild beasts and cold winds all year round.
As soon as he opened his mouth to shout to stop the other party's footsteps, by the light of the sun, the boss was surprised to find that there was a little golden light on his shabby table, and then his pupils suddenly dilated, and he quickly plugged in the door with agility that did not belong to his age at all, blocked the door panel, locked the window, and then fell into silence, and after a long time, he let out a hearty laugh like a wolf howl.
Lin Xiuhui left suddenly, precisely because his eyes had already focused on the girl standing in the stands, although there was a big difference in age and height, but that unique green hair, he would never ignore it, in this strange world, if he wanted to leave, then he couldn't let go of any clues.
"Thirty-eight!" Rand had already stood up excitedly, these numbers were almost squeezed out of his teeth, these incomes were enough for him to pay the guards behind him for a year, but for the woman on the high platform, he was bound to win, and Hoswater also seemed to have invested a lot of money, until this moment, he was still constantly raising the price with him!
"How did the damn dirt bun accumulate so much wealth?" Rand's psychological curse kept stopping, touched a handful of coins in his pocket, he had already bottomed out, if he continued like this, he would soon be defeated, such a situation was obviously unacceptable to him, it seemed that he was going to increase the chips, he planned to kick the other party after the next time Hoswater shouted the bid, to exceed the opponent by more than ten gold coins, so as to scare the other party from the momentum.
However, what was waiting for was not Hostwater's next price increase, but a discordant sound that broke the silence of the scene.
"This slave, I want it!" There was no offer, there was no sound, it was calm not like bidding, but announcing a trivial matter, Rand and Hostwater almost thought that they had a delusion, even the Harbas on the stage also appeared a little sluggish, as everyone's eyes searched, and finally found that the speaker was a young man in ordinary clothes, with strange black hair, and a clean appearance, although he did not look like a pampered nobleman, but also did not look like a commoner who was conservative and sleeping in the open in this era.
"Oh. Distinguished guest, although I do not know where you come from, please abide by the rules of Murrichhouse, and if you have a crush on this slave, please first offer a certain price, of course, to show our sincerity. The current bid is thirty-eight gold coins, and you can only continue to increase the price on top of that, and if you can't, then you can only say sorry. Harbas had a professional smile on his face, and he hadn't figured out the opponent's hole cards yet, so he couldn't have openly coaxed people to play on such an occasion. But looking at the other party's dress, it really doesn't look like a nobleman's dress, and the appearance is also very weird, while smiling, Harbas's brain is running rapidly, hoping to find out which famous nobleman's little master the other party is from memory, but unfortunately, he racked his brains and didn't find the slightest relevant memory.
"Thirty-eight?" Lin Xiu repeated it with some surprise. His expression was a little dazed, and then he seemed to understand something, and nodded clearly.
"Hey! Where did you come from, poor sour boy, don't disturb the interest of the masters, get out of here for me, if it's fast, I can treat you as just a homeless wild dog! Unlike Harbas, Rand doesn't have any doubts or doubts about an ordinary young man. He only had the twelve-year-old slave in the stands in his eyes now, and it would be a waste of time to do anything else before he got her.
"Hey, Rand, you really don't have vision, this young man has very delicate skin, I don't want to let him go. Hey, fifty silver coins how about you being my slave? Unlike Rand, Horswater has always been both male and female, and Lin Xiu's appearance is very handsome. There was a clear difference from those rough Nords, and these undoubtedly made Horswater interested.
"Uh..." Lin Xiu glanced at Horswater who spoke to him with some surprise, he didn't expect that he would be regarded as a duck one day, seeing Lin Xiu's somewhat stunned gaze, Horswater even raised his eyebrows at him, this move almost made Lin Xiu couldn't help but split him in half directly with his sword, and took a few deep breaths before calming his urge to kill.
It's a pity, I thought it was the little master of the lord's family, the green-haired girl glanced at Lin Xiu with some regret and didn't look at it anymore, she also felt that her thoughts were a little naïve, if it was really like that, how could there be no slaves by the other party's side, no gorgeous carriages, and no ordinary civilian clothes, there is no prince in distress in this era, and if you are in trouble, your fate will be doomed, and the fairy tale of the unrealistic frog prince is not applicable in this era.
Although Lin Xiu's age and body make the green-haired girl very satisfied, if she can meet such a master, he is a little better to himself, and has some gold coins and strength, then it is undoubtedly the greatest happiness, but she knows that such a fairy tale is impossible, and her final fate will still fall on the two middle-aged uncles.
"Sorry, I didn't have the gold with me." Lin Xiu helplessly rummaged through his pockets, which were whiter than his delicate and clean face.
"Hahahaha" Rand let out a series of mocking sounds, but before he could say his sarcastic words, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then his pupils began to dilate, his breathing became very rapid, and his body staggered and almost fell off the carriage.
"How about this instead?" As he spoke, the young man picked up a brick-sized golden brick from his hand as if he were playing a trick, and then threw it on the stage.
"Dang!" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground attracted everyone's eyes.
"What's that?"
"It's beautiful!"
"Glittering... Gold... Gold... So big... This..."
"Oh God!"
The exclamations slowly gathered, and gradually there was a wave that was even more terrifying than the previous girl's on-stage appearance.
Harbas's eyes froze, and his body took a leap to hold the gold brick, and with his firm eyes on the countless gold coins, he naturally believed that he would not be mistaken, but he still pressed it hard with his fingers, and then he seemed to hear the sound of his heart pounding and about to beat.
"Impossible! Harbas, that should be fake! ”
"yes, don't be deceived by a poor sour boy, then you don't want to be in this business again."
Rand and Hostwater both persuaded like this, in fact, with the two of them perennial eyes for gold coins, they could naturally see one or two, but they still held the last glimmer of hope in their hearts, unlike them, the girl on the stage was staring at the young man below for a moment, she hoped that everything she saw was true, and the young man was also looking at her. It's just that his eyes seem to be a little different from the others, clear and transparent, and there is even a trace of doubt, but no matter how much, it is enough to exchange for a gold brick of hundreds of gold coins, only the emperor can have it, so this person... I can't imagine that if I follow such a master..., I must do everything I can to stay by his side.
After a full half a minute, Harbas calmed his breath, and the gold brick in his hand was gone. With a smile on his face, he first made a respectful salute to Lin Xiu, and then said loudly, "Thank you very much for the thin noodles you gave to Halbas, this auction has ended perfectly, and this last slave belongs to this young and handsome guest." Harbas didn't know Lin Xiu's name, although Rand and Hostwater were still venting their frustrations. But Harbas had no time to pay attention, jumped off the stage, walked in front of Lin Xiu, and made a ceremony to welcome the nobles.
"Please give your distinguished guests a little bit of the thin noodles, there are still some slave formalities to be handled, but you can rest assured that you will not be delayed too long, please forgive me for my rudeness. Please also let me know your honorable name, and of course, if you feel a little rude, please forgive me. Harbas held back his excitement, although he had a smile on his face, he wanted to see a little bit of cattiness from Lin Xiu's subtle actions, but he was disappointed. Although the other party is only in his twenties, he is humble and unfazed, and this bearing is even more destined for his own speculation.
"Uh... You can call me Baron Vestinus. Lin Xiu's psychology was also a little nervous. After all, this name was used by him and Nero when they were pretending to be husband and wife, I don't know if it will be revealed now, but I don't know, the Harbas in front of him has already identified the guess in his heart, and he will not have any doubts at all, or rather, as soon as Lin Xiu opened his mouth, he already knew that it was fake.
Harbas didn't delay Lin Xiu too much, but only briefly told him how to domesticate slaves, and gave him a precious whip, which was obviously a tool for whipping and educating slaves, and then Lin Xiu left Murrihouse with the girl with the maiden on the collar around her neck who did not yet have a name.
Although the girl followed behind Lin Xiu with her head down all the way, she was always secretly observing this new master, he was very silent, without too many words, the whip that dominated her and was seen by her above all else, as soon as he left the city, he was thrown by this new owner who didn't know where to go, his appearance was very different, he had never seen black hair, slender, not rough at all and even very clean, but how to please such a master? He... What kind of slave do you like? The girl racked her brains to think about the questions that bothered her.
“c.c.?” Suddenly, Lin Xiu stopped, turned around and asked with some doubts.
"Huh? Is the master calling me? The girl asked nervously.
Isn't it? Lin Xiu looked at the girl in front of him, a little puzzled, but he could still see that the other party was not lying, and that kind of blank look appeared very naturally.
"Thank you, master, for giving me a new name." The girl suddenly thought that she shouldn't ask questions to her master, this would obviously annoy her new master, he should prefer a smarter slave, she had an idea, and she followed Lin Xiu's words and recognized her new name, the original name? She was gone, with the death of that master. Since birth, she didn't know what her name was, and the names of slaves were given by their masters, and the name Sissi seemed to be very good, although she didn't know how to write it, but slaves didn't need to be able to write, as long as they could please their masters.
"You... Don't remember anything? Lin Xiu still held on to a glimmer of hope, and refused to give up and asked, he hoped that the other party would just have amnesia, although it would be very troublesome, but it was better than looking for it like a headless fly in this unknown world.
"Huh? I remember a lot, master, I will do the kitchen and clean, draw water, take care of the cattle and sheep, can recognize a little word, count to twenty, ah, I have also done cleaning up the corpse, and..."The girl said nervously as quickly as pouring beans, for fear that her new master would feel useless, to behave perfectly, in fact, she also wanted to say that she was still very good at pleasing the master, but for fear that the other party would think she was a woman, so that no master would like it, so she hesitated, Still didn't say it, although she had already made this plan in her heart, and the previous words were just foreshadowing, but she found that her master's eyes had changed, staring at her motionlessly.
You can't go wrong! This passage... It was C.C. who was looking for herself, and she would never be mistaken, although she didn't know why she had become twelve years old, and she had forgotten everything before, but she would never be wrong.
