In the "Primordial Trading Market", the highest standard in the Empire, the "Loulan Realm", the news spreads extremely fast.

When the two daughters of the high priest left the first shop, almost all the other shops in the market were notified of the punishment for the counterfeiters. As Aurelia said, all the "original people trading markets" under the "Hesong Group", including the "Loulan Realm", have removed the brand store called "Canary".

Next, the two young ladies went to several shops, but they still couldn't find a suitable person, and the time was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"I can't help it...... Aurelia said as she glanced at the time on the video headset, "and then look at the last store, and then go to the Dome Auction Hall." ”

"Okay." Eliza answered, but her eyes wandered around the storefronts.

Suddenly, her gaze stopped. A look of surprise crossed her emerald green eyes, and the next moment, the wings behind her suddenly unfolded, flapped a few times, and the whole person floated into the air.

"What do you see?" Aurelia asked curiously.

Eliza didn't answer, but the whole person floated upwards a little more, hovering at the height of the second floor.

Aurelia winked at the driver who had been following them. The latter flew up with Eliza and stopped about three or four meters behind her.

At this time, what appeared in front of Eliza's eyes was the second floor of a shop called "Qing Buyi". It is designed to be a completely open exhibition space, with no exterior walls, so you can fly up directly from the ground floor. Looking around for a moment, she flew towards the depths of the exhibition hall.

The decoration of the "green cloth clothes" is in the style of martial arts. The floor is paved with gravel, the interior walls are made of green bricks, and the inside of the ceiling is made of red tiles. The air is mixed with the faint scent of grass, and the music is soothing, and the sound of the water in the stream is interspersed with the crisp chirping of birds. The goods in the store are all primitive teenagers wearing retro cloth clothes, and they salute when they see customers entering the store. The teenagers had apparently been carefully screened for good-looking, tall, healthy and powerful products, each of which cost a lot of money. Eliza, however, did not look at them at all, but flew straight in, and finally stopped beside a low tree for decoration.

"I know you're behind this tree." Eliza fell to the ground, took two steps in the direction of the tree and asked, "Are you...... The guy who just stood on the edge of the booth and looked down? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a small sound of clothes rubbing against each other from behind the tree. A primitive, young man of her height, stepped out from behind a tree.

The boy wore a coarse cloth green coat, and his long black hair was dyed with ink, and he was tied into a ponytail by a cloth belt on the top of his head. His appearance was not very handsome compared to the rest of the store, but at least it was handsome. His lips were thin, but his eyes were dark and deep, revealing a faint melancholy that should not be present at this age.

The boy glanced at Eliza, and did not salute like the other originals, nor did he show any awe for the distinguished guests, but replied lightly: "It's me." ”

Eliza's cold reaction was a little surprising, but she didn't care, and continued to ask, "How old are you this year?" ”

"14 years old."

"I'm the same age." Eliza rejoiced. She glanced back at the outside of the store and saw Aurelia flying up from afar, so she looked at the young man in front of her again, "Don't you want to introduce yourself?" ”

The boy pursed his lips, his lips a little white. He didn't say half a word, but lowered his eyelids slightly.

Eliza looked around him, but didn't see the price tag as it should be, and cast a confused look at the driver behind her.

"I really didn't see the price. Second Miss. Maybe this one is not for sale. The driver walked to the wall close to him, found a red button that could call the store manager on duty, and pressed it, "I asked the store manager to come up and ask, you wait." ”

"It's fine." Eliza nodded at him, turned back again, and paced the young man back and forth with great interest, looking at him thoroughly from head to toe.

In a high-end primitives trading market such as "Loulan Realm", the goods included are the best goods in the empire. Every person who brings in is trained to know exactly how to please customers when they become interested in them. So before that, the original people that Eliza saw were basically smiling and welcoming, with a clear voice, and thoughtful manners, and would properly show her advantages. However, the young man in front of her seemed to have no idea what he was supposed to do. Under the scrutinizing gaze of the customer, he was still expressionless, and his eyes were ethereal looking ahead.

By this time, Aurelia had also flown up from the first floor and walked near them.

Eliza stood beside her sister and continued to ask the original boy, "And what is your name?" …… The name always tells me, right? ”

The other party still didn't say a word.

At the moment when the atmosphere of the scene was stalemate, the store manager on duty ran up from the spiral staircase on the first floor: "A few VIPs, I'm really sorry for waiting for a long time!" …… Please, what do you want to see? Can I introduce a few of you? ”

The store manager is a little fat male wingman, and his clothes are also with a strong martial arts style - silk black clothes with hair, a jade pendant tied around his waist, and a handful of rosewood inlaid gold abacus in his hand, he knows at a glance that he is in charge of the store.

When he saw Eliza looking at the black-haired boy with interest, his face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped between the boy and the customer, and introduced him politely: "The boys in our shop sell better." It is mainly knowledgeable, hard-working, and literate. It's good to buy it back and be a scholar or something. If you're interested, I'll take a few of you over there to see the treasures of our store......"

"No need." Eliza waved her hand, motioning for him to give way.

The store manager moved to the side in amusement.

"Introduce him." Eliza pointed to the black-haired boy, "I asked for a long time, but I didn't even say my name." ”

"This ......," the store manager grimaced, "if it's him......"

"What? Not for sale? Aurelia asked.

"No, no, no, it's not that you don't sell." The store manager waved his hand busily, "It's just that we thought about not only selling ...... It's a giveaway......"

"Huh?"

"That is to say, if you buy any item with a price of more than 150,000 yuan in our store, this one will be given to you."

"That's right......" Hearing this, Aurelia couldn't help but look at this 'giveaway'. glanced from head to toe, but saw that the young man did not have any visible defects except for his few words, "Why? It looks decent, but it doesn't look like a defective product. ”

"Uh...... This is ......" the manager's expression was even more difficult, "If you insist on asking, I won't be able to explain it." Or you see, the other original people in my store today, no matter which one you want to take away, I can give you a 70% discount. As for this guy, you're thinking I'm on the wrong thing......"

Eliza shook her head.

Aurelia understood: "Are you afraid that I will complain about you?" ”

The store manager grinned: "Don't dare, don't dare...... A knowledgeable customer like you is rare in a century, how dare we do illegal things in front of you. ”

Aurelia glanced at her sister, who cast an expectant look at her.

"Alas...... It's rare to have something that my sister has a crush on. She sighed, "So be it...... You might as well say something straight. I don't complain about you. But if you lie to me, you will bear the consequences. ”

"Well, since you must know...... the store manager could only give in and pointed to the black-haired primordial boy, "He's a 'broken code', so you should understand, right?" All the "original person trading markets" under the "Hesong Group" are not allowed to sell "broken codes", for fear of potential risks. But some customers don't mind...... So sometimes we receive some 'broken codes' in good condition, which will be regarded as gifts for regular goods. This will not make the management feel that we have violated the management regulations, and let some customers who don't mind buying 'broken codes' feel that they have earned ...... It's kind of our side-kick behavior. ”

Eliza was surprised when she heard this, and turned her head to look at the silent primordial boy: "So you...... Don't have a name? ”

The boy shook his head.

"'Broken code' is the original person whose memory has been cleansed. They don't remember everything about their identity, including their names. The store manager added, "In order to give customers who buy 'broken codes' a better experience, we usually don't give 'broken codes' names, but let customers name them." ”

"Pathetic......" Eliza whispered to herself.

"But this young lady ...... I don't recommend that you accept 'broken codes'. The store manager continued to say to Eliza, "If you have a favorite person in our store, I can give you a 70% discount and give you a normal product under 30,000 yuan." What do you think? ”

Before Eliza could refute, Aurelia understood first: "Is it because 'broken code' is not safe enough?" Usually only the original people with domineering personalities will be shuffled into 'broken codes', so that it is easy to control. But the essence of human beings will not change because of amnesia, and the original people of 'broken code' only have to obey orders because they are confused, so there will still be some potential violent factors......"

"Yes, yes...... You are absolutely right. The store manager nodded again and again, "And this 'broken code' is not the same as other 'broken codes', it is not our 'whitewashing'." When we received the goods, he was already 'broken', and we didn't even know who washed it. It's really clean......

Aurelia shook her head again and again: "If you can't wait for you to receive the goods, you will do the mnemonic processing for the goods, and there is a chance that you have a ......criminal record."

"Yes, we're speculating as well." The store manager quietly moved a step to the side, once again blocking in front of the original boy, "So if you want to choose a personal servant for this young lady, I still want to take you to the 'treasure area' of our store, where all the original people with docile personalities have also been trained to serve the master, and it is best to be a personal attendant......

"Mr. Store, please get out of the way!" After being stopped twice, Eliza's face was faintly angry.

"This ......," the manager looked at Aurelia. He always thought that these two aristocratic ladies were brought by his sister to go shopping, and since he had explained the benefits to his sister, it was not his sister's turn to be the master.

No, Aurelia shook her head: "Get out of the way." ”

The manager had to step aside again.

Eliza looked at the primordial boy in front of her—his clear black eyes were like a pool of bottomless calm water. She looked into his eyes, into the depths of those eyes.

The next moment, she turned to Aurelia and said, "I chose." ”

At this time, even Aurelia, who prides herself on knowing her sister's character well, can't help but be surprised: "Is it just him?" ”

"Hmm." Eliza nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"For six years, I used a 'broken code'. You don't understand how risky this is, do you? Aurelia was already questioning.

"I don't think he's going to hurt." Eliza was unmoved, "If there is a risk, can't you control it?" ”

Aurelia stared at her sister's eyes, but there was no wavering look in those emerald eyes. In the end, she had to sigh helplessly, and reached out to make a stroke on her neck: "He wants to wear a collar." The detonator you take with you 24 hours a day. Detonating the collar will directly blow up the arteries and windpipes in your neck, so you can execute him at any time if you are in danger. ”

"I don't want to ......"

"It's the rule." Aurelia interrupted her without saying a word, "If you don't do this, you're not allowed to buy out the code." ”

Just as Aurelia knows her sister very well, Eliza, who has been cultivated by her sister since she was a child, also knows her sister's personality very well. Just like her insistence on 'intuition', Aurelia will never compromise on the matter of 'rules'.

Eliza hesitated.

She even felt a little overwhelmed.

She fiddled with the skirt of the dress with her immature fingers, and many thoughts flashed through her mind - maybe, when her sister was away, she could sneak over and buy him away?

However, when her gaze swept over the face of the primordial boy again. I found that he was nodding slightly at her, and his indifferent expression seemed to say, "I don't mind." ”

Eliza looked at Aurelia again, returned to her previous confident look, and said word by word, "Okay, then do as my sister says." ”

"This ...... The two young ladies ......" The store manager looked at Eliza in embarrassment, and then at Aurelia, "As I told you two before, this is just a giveaway, we don't sell it separately......"

However, the two daughters of the high priest ignored him.

"What about the 'Treasures Auction'? Still going? ”

"I'm not going." Eliza was categorical, "It's already chosen." ”

"You won't regret it later, will you?"

"Of course not."

Seeing the two sisters happily discussing on the spot, the store manager sat on pins and needles, "Two young ladies, if you two are talking about this original person, we really don't just sell ...... I also said that it was a giveaway, unless you buy other goods......"

"150,000." Aurelia pointed to the original boy and interrupted him, "50,000 is the cost of buying him, and the remaining 100,000 is as you squander." The Great Divine Government does not engage in illegal trading - we want legal purchase notes. ”

150,000 - this price is enough to buy the best original person in the store.

The store manager swallowed his saliva, and the sweat of the bean was dripping down his cheeks: "You...... What are you...... Then don't tell anyone that you bought or bought a 'broken code' from me......"

Aurelia raised her eyebrows and winked at the butler behind her. The latter immediately went over to hand over the goods to the store manager.

"The things will be delivered to the home when they are ready." Aurelia patted Eliza on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”

With that, she took the lead towards the turntable leading to the first floor. The driver followed.

Eliza reluctantly glanced at the original boy she had selected, couldn't hide her anticipation, and said softly, "It's a bit early, but I want to name you now." You'll be called 'Shadow Owl' from now on, okay? ”

The black-haired boy was still as silent as before. This time, however, it was different - he gently raised his right arm and lay it across his chest, and saluted Eliza respectfully.

She had never seen him salute, but she could see the seriousness from the crisp and neat movements.

"Hmm!" She laughed, "I'll leave it to you after that." ”

"Eliza? Hurry up. Aurelia greeted her halfway up the stairs.

"It's coming!" A brown-haired girl in a cherry red dress ran briskly.

Many years later, Eliza learned that the salute that the Shadowlord had given her that day was a military salute from the United League of Humans.
