Chapter 24: Where Did the Horse Go?
The Sickle Galaxy is a medium-sized galaxy with a territory spanning tens of thousands of light-years and about 70 billion stars and planets, not counting the moons orbiting the planets and comets.
The western realm of the Qingsickle galaxy is the third largest among the four realms in the system, including An Yuanxing, which is the "pearl of the western realm", and there are also small galaxies divided into various "star domains", there are nearly 100 million such small galaxies in the whole territory, and the Pirlo galaxy is inconspicuous in it, if it is not located on the western border, close to the "three regardless" zone, even the Shatuo pirates may not patronize this place.
The royal housekeeper Thackle and his subordinates who escorted him are on the life planet of this galaxy at the moment, like this small galaxy, it is not easy to produce a life planet, this life planet is still a native planet, probably because there are no resources, the value is not high, and no one patronizes here, which is good news for the safety of Thackle and his party.
However, since they have already decided to rescue the colt Wang Yangming, it is naturally impossible for Sack to be willing to stay here, not to mention that aside from Wang Yangming's problem, they will eventually leave here.
The native planet has its own language development, and although the Empire's technology can translate this language, it takes some time, so after a period of contact with the natives, Thack directly gave up the idea of communicating with them and getting help from them, and instead directly used the Hangxun wave to contact the nearest energy base station.
Their luck was not bad, the energy base station here also recognized the gold card of the Yan Rebellion Star Domain, and soon sent personnel to come over to maintain the auxiliary ship that had run out of fuel, and also brought them food and some news of need.
However, this news made Tsar feel unoptimistic, the Ayim was abducted by the Shatuo pirates, although he asked Abraham to take the colt at the time, but thinking about the unreliable fellow who couldn't even smile, he was very skeptical that they would be able to escape.
If they hadn't escaped, there was no doubt that the two would have been sold as slaves as long as they hadn't died, and that would have been a better outcome for Thacker than the former.
Because he had always felt that there was a conspiracy in this attack, Thacker felt that things might not be as good as he thought, and he could only pray in his heart.
Worried about things, after the energy was replenished, Saker immediately took the people to leave in the auxiliary ship, and the target was directly at the base camp of the Shatuo pirate group.
The characteristics of interstellar pirates are often to change places with one vote, but they also tend to prepare a temporary lair, unless they accidentally encounter a force that they really can't provoke, then they have to abandon the star and flee.
This time they were lucky enough to quickly get the slave list this time by bribing insiders, also because it was not a secret thing in the first place.
"Does anyone recognize this text?" Thackle looked at the list on the screen, language and words are two different things, and he still has the translation ball, but this side ship is not as advanced as the main ship, and can intelligently recognize other languages.
One of the guards stood up and said, "I—I......"
Thackle looked at this guy with a finned tail on his back, very similar to some members of the pirate group he had seen before, and knew that he probably immigrated to the Imperial Land from here, and this was normal in the border area between the two places, and it was not considered a smuggling, of course, now was not the time to pay attention to this, he frowned and said, "What did it say?" ”
"It has the names of Abraham and the Pony on it, but ...... Abraham's whereabouts are registered, but the Pony column is not, but it is written that it has been sold. ”
"......" Thackle was silent for a moment and asked, "What could be the reason for this situation in general?" ”
He didn't know much about this compared to his subordinates, after all, the court trainers taught more about etiquette and service, rather than these aspects related to race or war, which was not his discipline.
"The slave trade is actually similar to ordinary trading, but the whereabouts of slaves are generally registered, such as this simple mark, which is usually put at the end and cleared as a disposal item......" He said that the latter became smaller and smaller, probably thinking that saying this was a little disrespectful to a certain colt-sama.
Thackle was speechless when someone cautiously asked, "If that's the case, do you want to go to Abraham?" He should have been sold before, and he probably wouldn't know the whereabouts of Master Pony. He came back to his senses a little, and after a long silence, he smiled bitterly: "Now that there are no clues, I can only find him first and take a look." ”
Hopefully, we can get useful clues.
……
Coldiron Star, a famous mineral planet in the western part of the Sickle system, is famous for the production of Coldiron Ore.
Mining area 11 is the place where Abraham was arranged to work after he arrived, of course, as a slave, although there is a "welfare" of food and shelter, but there is no remuneration and no freedom in addition, it can be said that his labor force is squeezed to the maximum, two-thirds of the working time of a planetary day, except for rest and food, it can be said that he is mining day and night.
However, Abraham, as a star tree man with amazing natural vitality, did not reach his tolerance limit, but was mentally tortured, which made him feel depressed all the time.
Speaking of which, this is also what he brought on himself, since he was knocked unconscious, he was brought to this place to mine, separated from his dear colt-sama, and he didn't know where the other party was, and it was difficult for him to escape from being trapped in this place, how could he not feel depressed.
The Treants are a naturally docile race, but they are also more cautious and conservative, so although he is concerned about the safety of the Pony, Abraham does not use too drastic means, but always thinks of ways to escape.
It's a pity that so far, nothing has been found!
As a highly valued cold iron mining area, Area 11 is heavily defended, and it is not something that an "honest man" who can't even reach the level of an ordinary guard can challenge.
"Hey, Lord Pony may be frightened and even tortured now, but I can't comfort him and protect him by his side, I'm really ashamed of my status as a servant, and I'm sorry for the high hopes that Her Royal Highness the Empire and Her Royal Highness the Princess have placed on me......" Abraham sat down, sighed after a routine chatter, and looked at the huge bowl he was holding in his tentacles, and became inexplicably a little bored, "No, Lord Pony may not even have anything to eat now, how can I be greedy, I will starve with him!" ”
After saying a few words of righteousness, he put down the bowl and stood up, straightening himself as if he were about to embark on the battlefield.
Next to the place where he was sitting, sat a tall, square-faced, long-nosed guy with eyes in the middle of his cheeks, no eyebrows, and dense bangs on top, with a wide mouth and thick lips, and his body was somewhat similar to that of an earthling, but it was thick several times.
His share of the dinner in his hand had been settled, and he waited for a long time with the empty bowl in his hand, until he found that Abraham had gone away, then quietly turned sideways, looked around carefully, and no one noticed, "quack" duck-like chuckle twice, and stretched out his claws to the bowl that Abraham had placed on the seat.
But before he could reach it, his sensitive ears heard footsteps approaching, and he immediately withdrew his hand, pretending that nothing had happened.
But Abraham had already walked back, and seemed not to notice his movements, so he took the bowl and sat down, and muttered, "This will not work, I must eat, so that I can have the strength to escape, and to have the strength to save the horse, and in order to save the horse, I must eat!" Emmmm……”
The man next to him looked at him for a long time, unable to say a word with his mouth open.
