Sixth Sulla: Fugitive slaves
"Why do I seem to be a trouble-scared person?" Muscle Daddy laughed, the muscles in his face trembling. "I'm not afraid of trouble, disaster is afraid of me!"
"She's a fugitive. Muhadi said as he reached out and crushed a reptile on the ground.
"What is a fugitive slave, no matter how many fugitive hunters there are, I can solve it. Muscle Daddy disagreed, "She can help a lot and make money, I won't let her be caught." β
Fugitive Hunters are a special kind of bounty hunter in the world of Atas, made up of fierce and sophisticated adventurers. They went around collecting work and hunting down runaway slaves. Sometimes it's alive, sometimes it's dead. For those seeking freedom on Atas, fugitive slave hunters are one of their most feared objects.
"Besides, I don't see any slave marks on her. Even if you take her everywhere, there will be no trouble, what are you afraid of!"
"She doesn't have any slave marks on her. "That's because she's not an ordinary slave, not a prisoner of war or a debt slave, and naturally she doesn't have any paperwork or imprints to mark her identity." She belonged to the oldest type of slave. β
"What's that?" the Moorish asked.
"Marriage. β
Muscle Daddy pointed to Muhadi's head, "You're sick in the head, psychic mancer. In marriage, the woman is the master, and the man is the slave. If you're married, you'll know, and that's why I'm not married. β
"But runaway women have a taste, I like it. Muscle Daddy took a bite of the piece of meat he was holding and said vaguely. "It doesn't matter who her husband is, if he dares to come, I will cut off his head. β
"The Witch King's head is not easy to chop, do you think you are Ricas?"
Muscle Daddy froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. "She's the witch king's concubine, but tell you, I'm no worse than Ricas. He's just the gladiator champion of Tyre, I'm the gladiator champion of Ulrick City, I can do whatever he can!"
"It will be, not yet. "From what I've read, she was supposed to marry the Shadow King Nibunai, but she ran away before the wedding." β
Nibennai, the witch king of Nibenai City, is also a special and lone figure among the witch kings. Although other witch kings also have partners, they are not very many, usually not more than four. But Nibenai had to marry someone every dozen years, and considering that he had ruled the city of Nibenai for more than 2,000 years, he had married more than a hundred partners. What's interesting about Niben is that his new wife will also join his Templars, as will his descendants. At present, most of the Templars in Nibenai are the concubines of the Witch King, or his princes and princesses, and other descendants.
There was no pattern to Nibennai's choice of mate, and anyone could be favored by him, even his own offspring. If Muhadi reads the message correctly, then the girl will be both a descendant of Nibunai and his wife.
It is said that Niben has long since become inhumanoid due to the effect of the demon dragon's transformation, and no new heirs have been produced in recent decades. His current marriage was a symbolic gesture to show his subjects that he was still alive.
"Don't you like this kind of woman the most, why don't you want me to let her accompany you?" asked the muscle daddy strangely.
The girl's graceful dance was over, and now she was surrounded by a group of mercenaries, who skillfully kept just the right distance, not completely refusing, and not letting them take advantage of it. If beauty is a weapon, she is an expert at wielding it.
"When did I like this kind of woman, and what kind of woman does 'this kind of woman' refer to?"
"A woman who rebelled against the witch king, a beautiful woman, a young and energetic woman. "Didn't you run to Tyre because of that?" said Muscle Daddy, "and for that Coral Witch?"
Coral Witch ...... Muhadi remembered the meeting with the other party. I'm sure you can overcome your inner conflict, she said, holding her hand, just as I once overcame my own.
"The beauty of the Coral Witch is beyond the realm of beauty, and I can't describe it to you with the crude tool of words. Muhati told Muscle Daddy. "That's not why I joined Tyr's camp though, I joined them because they did the right thing and they were on the winning side. β
"Come on, I don't believe you knew that Tyr would be able to defeat the Witch King's coalition. The muscular daddy scoffed, "You really don't want her to accompany you?"
"No, I'm going to meditate later, and tomorrow I'm going to go to other psychic sorcerers to exchange psionic experiences and information. Muhathir resigned. "And I can't stay in the north for a few days, so I'm going to hurry. β
"You're such a weirdo. Muscle Daddy said. "But I guess that's the kind of person who can be a telemagician. β
As he was half an hourglass, Muhadi set up his tent and went inside to look at the equipment he had scavenged from the store.
The Crystal Mask and Time Plus Boots had already been seen, so they had been left aside by Muhadi, and now his attention was on the pile of new things that had not yet been identified.
A novel piece of equipment called the Forehead Eye, which appears to have a small, wide, flat crystal that contains different abilities. The psyker can command the crystal to automatically attach to the center of his forehead with a thought command. The frontal eyes have many functions, some of them can enhance the ability of the visible person to penetrate the will of the target, some of the frontal eyes can enhance the wearer's ability to move and focus, and some powerful frontal eyes can even allow the owner to see distant things, and even forcibly steal the knowledge of an intelligent life in the brain.
Muhadi had not been a psychiocrat for a long time, and he did not know enough of them, and he did not know many of the functions of the forehead, and he did not dare to use them indiscriminately. So I rummaged through it for a while, and then turned my attention to other items.
These items appear to be made of human skin, but Muhadi knows that they are magical items infused with psionic energy and astral qualities. The psychic sorcerer took a fist-sized piece of spirit skin and looked at it carefully.
This psychic skin can be automatically unfolded at the command of the psyker, covering his entire body. The same imperative thought can make the spirit skin retract to its original size. Each different psionic skin is infused with an ability or set of abilities that continuously affect the wearer. Unfolded Earth Spirit Skin will completely cover the wearer like a second skin,
The wearer can see, hear, and breathe as usual. It also exposes different parts of the body as needed, such as when the wearer needs to eat.
The functions of the spirit skin are also diverse, and most of them are used to enhance the physical abilities of the wearer. Muhadi chose a Counter Spirit Skin, which inflicted fire damage on those who attacked the wearer. Muhadi commanded, and the spirit skin automatically covered him, and a cold feeling swept through his body. Then he felt that the spirit skin had been worn, and when he raised his hand, he saw that he had tattoo-like stripes on his body, which was quite powerful.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally chose between the mask and the forehead. The crystal mask with the effect of resisting psionic energy looked gorgeous, in the style of a Crimean Tatar mask, very powerful, and Muhadi liked it.
He put the mask on his face, felt it adjust its size, and finally put it on like a second skin.
The Psychic Warlock felt the equipment, then exclaimed, "Who?!"
The slender figure of a girl lifted the curtain and walked lightly into the tent. She has a curvy and beautiful face, and she is none other than the dancer Raina. The girl now wears a light robe, which is more stylish than when she dances.
"I remember telling Muscle Daddy that I don't need you to accompany me. β
"I came on my own, not under the direction of anyone. The girl looked at Muhadi's strange masked face and said. "Could it be that Daddy Muscle has already taken matters into his own hands and wants me to accompany you?
It turned out that it was not the arrangement of the muscle daddy, and Muhathir read that the other party was telling the truth, and she was coming by herself. "What are you looking for me to do?" Sometimes, even if the psychic can read the other person's thoughts, he is still used to asking this question, at least he can know if the other person is duplicitous.
"I heard that there was a psychic in the group, so I came looking for it. The girl said, with an expectant look on her face. "I have important things that I need your help with. β
"There are a lot of psychic warlocks underground, and you can look for them. Muhadi shrugged and replied, "Now, if it's convenient, please ......."
"It's no use looking for them!" said the girl excitedly, "I heard you're different!"
"I'm different? Where did you hear that? β
"This is a mercenary group, there is no secret here, I know what you and the head of the regiment have taken before!" The more the girl spoke, the more excited she became, and her chest fell together.
"This is a mercenary group, there is no truth here. "Word of mouth is the most unreliable story, and everyone adds oil and vinegar to their liking, and it is more difficult to restore the truth from rumors than to get the steamed water back to the ground." β
"You may not know," the girl paused, then seemed to have finally made up her mind. "I am ......"
"Rebellious girl who ran away from home, I know. Muhati grabbed Raina's right hand and pointed to the tiny knife marks on her wrist under the palm. "Hesitation, I can still see this. β
Hesitation is a psychological concept of the Psychic Mancer, and sometimes people try to commit suicide, but they don't have that decision, and they will be left with this kind of scar. Psychic sorcerers have an outward way of observing even those who can't read thoughts, so they will notice this detail.
The girl was puzzled, "I need help! Please, I can tell you an important secret......"
"No, you don't. Muhadi didn't even have any interest in reading minds, and said impatiently. "I'm a psychic sorcerer, and I'm not a magic lamp that can grant three wishes. Even myself, I still have a lot of troublesome things to do, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Muscle Daddy is the kind of person who likes to meddle with things, and you should ask him for help, not me. β
"I'm going to be here for a few days, and then I'm going back to Tyre, which is at the heart of the political turmoil in the desert right now. Guardian mages, psychic manipulators, gladiator revolutionaries, and Templar careerists are all in a state of unsafe fighting. If you're hiding in a mercenary group, you might be safer. I've got enough to worry about. β
"If you don't agree, I won't leave!"
"If you don't go, I won't agree. Muhadi said, "How much more, as a psychic mancer, I can force you to go if necessary......"
Before he could finish speaking, al-Muhadi noticed that a sneaky man was approaching his tent, and this man was not very agile and was not a professional killer. But it was such a hairy thief who actually pulled out his knife, cut open Muhadi's tent, and screamed and killed.
It was the musician who had danced before, and Muhathir recognized him. His ability to play the horse-head piano is good, but unfortunately his knife skills are so-so.
The Psychic Warlock accurately sensed the direction of his opponent's swing, avoided the blade, and slapped the back of the incoming person's neck. The musician received the blow, screamed, and fell forward, unconscious.
The girl pulled a dagger out of her boot and stabbed it in the back of the musician. Muhadi didn't have time to stop it, and just watched as the attackers died in his tent.
With a snort, Raina tore open her robe, from her ankles to her waist. Then she reached out and tore off her headscarf and tore her head around.
"What are you doing?!" Muhati asked.
"Create illusions. Raina said, kicking her boots as well, revealing a pair of white feet.
"This is the singer in the mercenary group, and he has been annoying me for a long time. The girl went up and felt her nose to make sure the man was dead. "Once, he tried to possess me while I was sleeping. β
"Congratulations on your revenge. Muhadi said, "But what are you doing here?"
"Everybody knows that this singer is pursuing me," said the girl, looking into Muhadi's eyes, "and he's been chasing me more and more tightly lately, so it's no wonder that when he saw me enter your tent, he lost his mind and dared to come in." β
"Do you want me to kill him for you?" Muhadi asked.
"Of course not, I have more important things to ask you for. But he did me a favor, didn't he?" said Raina slyly. "Now you can't kick me out, what will people think of you if they see the singer dead here and I'm being kicked out of the tent in disheveled clothes?"
Muhadi was noncommittal, and Raina continued. "They'll say you're scared. You want me, so you killed the singer by mistake. But when it came to the end, you softened, and you were afraid that the people behind the singer would trouble you, so you drove me away. β
"Childish threats, it doesn't work for me. Muhadi was a little tired, "Leaving here with his body, I don't have time to waste dealing with this matter." β
Raina's face changed, and she bit her lip before she spoke. "You're really not going to help me?"
"Nope. β
She raised her bloody dagger, "Then I'll kill myself." See what people will say about you in the future, and you can't even protect your own woman?"
"You're not my woman. β
"I'm dying in your tent, unclothed, people think so. You can't stop people from thinking about it. β
"I'm a telemagician, and I can certainly stop people from thinking anything. Muhadi told SΓΉ Raina, "In fact, if I have a thought, I can make you throw away the dagger at once, and then forget about it!"
"So you promised to help me?" the girl suddenly burst into tears and smiled, her bright expression stunned Muhadi.
"When did I promise you?"
"You said that if you have a thought, you can make me forget a qiΔ!"
Muhadi nodded, "That's right...... What the hell do you want me to do for you?"
"You're a psychic mancer. Raina unceremoniously sat down cross-legged and pushed the hapless corpse aside. "I want you to wash away my memories and I want to start over. β
