Chapter 25: Dakris (1)
At the gates of Oran City, a young man with long silver hair entered Oran City after paying the entrance fee to the guards guarding the gate. The young man's face was extremely handsome, and even a beautiful girl would be jealous of it, and with his long flowing silver hair, there was no adjective to describe it. However, in the young man's silver eyes, all that could be seen was indifference like ice, making people feel unapproachable, as if nothing in this world could affect him. On the right shoulder of the silver-haired boy, there is a bird covered with white feathers, its body is not large, but under the background of the pure white feathers, every line of the body shows incomparable luxury and elegance. At this moment, its red eyes were staring at everything around it, and there was an uncontrollable curiosity hidden in it.
After leaving the Hengduan Mountains, they only proceeded slowly at a normal pace, so it took them five days to return to Oran City. However, even if this is the case, because the cold star has not been in the core area of the Hengduan Mountains for a long time, it is still a long time before the mission deadline of the Violet Academy. At Bai Yu's request, Snub Star decided to wait five days before returning to the academy, and now take Bai Yu for a walk around Oran City.
When he entered the city with Bai Yu, Snub Xing had a vague feeling that he seemed to have been swept by someone's gaze. It is impossible for a Warcraft of this level like Bai Yu to enter Oran City by itself, because there are human powerhouses in Oran City who are censoring, and once a high-level Warcraft enters, it will attract attention, after all, the destructive power of high-level Warcraft is too strong. However, if it was someone's magic pet, it would be no problem, it was precisely because Bai Yu was now like his magic pet, so the person who was secretly observing did not stop it.
In a richly decorated room in Violet Academy, a woman sitting on a chair suddenly frowned slightly. She looked middle-aged, but she was still graceful, and her fair skin was as smooth as the finest silk. At this moment, there was a hint of doubt in those glamorous ice blue eyes: "This is a student of our academy?Looking at the school uniform, it should be a freshman in the first and second grades, but his cultivation has reached the early stage of the holy level, and there is a demon pet at the peak of the holy level?He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, even if it is Lorel, he only reached the holy level at the age of nineteen, and there is such a person among the freshmen, I don't even know?"
Snub Star was standing in front of a building, while White Feather was standing on his shoulder, looking at the building with a hint of curiosity. Snub Star has been walking around Oran City with White Feather for a while, and every time it sees a place it is interested in, it will ask Snub Star to take it there, and this place it is also very interested in. It was a huge building, three stories high, topped by a white dome, and looked rather strange. But the strangest thing about it is that it has no windows, only an entrance in front of it, and there is no other place to communicate with the outside world, as if it were a prison. Despite its gorgeous decorations on its walls, for some reason, anyone who sees it will instinctively feel a sense of repulsion towards the building, even if it is a snub star.
Compared to the building's sheer size, its entrance is small, about two and a half meters high. Above the red gate, there is the word "Dakris", which should be the name of this place. There were two masked black-clad guards on either side of the gate, and looking at their muscular figures, knotted muscles, and cold eyes, you knew they must be difficult to mess with. And what surprised Snub Xing a little was that they all had the strength of the early ninth level, and it was obvious that this Dakris background was not simple. Although the ninth-level master can't enter the eyes of the cold star, it is not easy to find, let alone let them use it for their own use. They are the backbone of a nobleman's hands and constitute the main combat power of the nobles, because those masters who have reached the heavenly level are very rare even in Oran City. For these people, the bodyguards of the nobles are made up of these people, so they have always attached great importance to them. But such a person is just a doorman here, and it can be seen from this that the background here is deep.
"Let's go in and have a look. Bai Yu proposed.
"Okay, let's take a look. Snub nodded and walked towards the gate. He looked closely, and the doors opened inward, revealing a pitch-black entrance, like a beast opening its jaws to devour everything that entered. Just before Snub Star, a fat man with a bloated figure walked in first, and the black-clothed guard at the door didn't do anything, so he was let in without any inspection at all, which made Snub Star a little surprised. After all, although he didn't know what it was for, it should be a very important place, and he originally thought that such a place should have something like identity checks, but it was not like this, and this situation made Snub Star a little confused. However, this is not a bad thing, after all, it means that he should be able to enter like this. However, in this short period of time, Snub Star did not see anyone coming out of it, as if this door was really the mouth of a giant beast, devouring all the people who entered to the point that there were no bones left.
When Snub Star also stepped through the door, the two Shadow Guards didn't react obviously, but one of them showed a little curious look, but didn't ask Snub Star anything, and directly let him in.
Entering through the gate, there is a dark corridor, and Snub Star can hear the heavy footsteps of the guy before him. Ahead, there was a lamp, and the flames danced restlessly in it, as if it could not stand the dull atmosphere of the corridor. Under the light of the fire, the snub star could see that it was a corner, and it is estimated that it is precisely because of this that a lamp will be arranged here. Snub Star sensed that in this corridor, there seemed to be an oppressive atmosphere, which was gradually seeping into his body as the darkness gradually seeped into his body. Although all this could not affect him, ordinary people were afraid that their mentality would be affected a lot, and even Bai Yu clearly felt the depression of the atmosphere here. Snub Star wondered in his heart, what was the purpose of the builders here to build the entrance like this?
"What the hell is going on here?" Bai Yu asked him in his heart, "Is this feeling a gladiatorial arena?" but the gladiatorial arena should not be like this. ”
"Probably not. Snub Star shook his head. They had been to the Colosseum before, and although the repression there was somewhat similar to here, there was still more fanaticism in the Colosseum. Snub knows that when building a building, designers pay special attention to how the building will make people feel, especially those buildings that have a special purpose for the aristocracy. For example, when you are there, you can feel the frenzy hidden in the building just by entering it. From the corridor that you have just entered, it is almost certain that this is not a good place.
"Do you want to go in?" Snub Star asked Bai Yu through a telepathic voice.
"Of course, since you're here, you have to know what you're doing here. Bai Yu replied. She didn't like it a little, but she knew that maybe she could see something different from the usual Terrans, as they had seen in the gladiatorial arena.
Walking around the corner of the light, you can see an unlocked iron door ahead, and the person in front of the snub star has entered from here. Snub Star stretched out his hand to push the door, and as the iron door turned, a strong light shone in, shining the wall. Snub Star stepped into the iron door, and in a trance, he felt as if he had stepped into a completely different world. This iron door is like a boundary, separating two different worlds.
In front of the iron gate, there is a deep and dimly lit corridor, and behind the iron gate, there are bright lights and boiling people. Behind the iron gate, there is a corridor as wide as a street, in which people come and go, and the walls on both sides are lit with magic lamps that are incomparably bright, illuminating the place as if it were day. On both sides of the corridor, there are shops lined up, and the owners of the shops stand at the door, warmly greeting the people walking in the corridor. Bai Yu could hardly imagine that there would be such a lively scene in the seemingly deserted building outside, almost exactly the same as the streets of the rest of Oran City. The only difference is that although this place looks prosperous, Bai Yu has an indescribably weird feeling.
"It looks like a shopping mall. On the shoulders of the Snub Star, it said to the Snub Star through a telepathic voice.
"It seems like this," Snub Star responded, "But it seems a little strange, what kind of business are they doing?" Here, Snub Star and Bai Yu did not use their mental power to investigate, after all, this is in Oran City, it is better to be careful, and this Dakris has a deep background, and rashly using mental power to probe may be regarded as a provocation.
Hearing the words of the snub star, Bai Yu suddenly woke up, almost without exception, the shops here have only one door, and there is no window for displaying goods, so it feels weird.
Just then, the owner of a shop noticed Snub Star and walked over to him. It's no wonder that both the long silver hair of the snub star and his handsome face are quite eye-catching. "Hello, young master, I don't know what goods you want?" he asked Snub Star.
Snub Xing turned around, this was a middle-aged man, with round cheeks, a pair of small eyes flashing shrewdly. His figure is a little fat, but it is not disgusting, but it gives people a sense of honesty.
"Let me see what you have. Snub Star said indifferently. The other party probably regarded him as the young master of a noble family, after all, he was still wearing the school uniform of Violet Academy, and with his temperament, the other party would make such a judgment. In that case, he just wanted to see what kind of goods were being sold here, and he needed to trade them in a place like Dakris.
"Okay," said the round-faced man with a smirk, "please come with me, although my cargo can't compare with the guys on the top two floors, it's still very good." With that, he made a gesture of invitation to Snub Star, and then entered the door of his shop, followed by Snub Star, who also walked in. Bai Yu on the shoulder of the snub star was surprised to find that there was only a pair of tables and chairs in the shop, and nothing else. Behind the table and chairs was a locked door, and the shopkeeper opened the drawer of the table, took out a bunch of keys from it, found one of them, opened the lock, pushed it open and walked in.
Snub followed the shopkeeper and entered the door, seeing what was inside. Behind that door, there was a large room, and in the room were huge iron cages, which were very large, the smallest of which was a meter and a half in diameter. And in these cages, it is not a monster, but a human. Not only the Terrans, but also the Orcs, all of them were locked in cages, with yellow skinny faces, tattered clothes, and some of them had striking whip marks on their bodies. Hearing someone come in, some people raised their heads and looked at the cold star with hope in their eyes, while others did not react at all, just stared blankly ahead, as if they had lost their souls.
Bai Yu understood that the so-called "goods" here were slaves. It never imagined that these Terrans would treat their own people as if they were goods. It is a Warcraft, although Warcraft is not united, but Warcraft of the same kind generally do not kill each other, after all, they are of the same race. However, these people didn't care about their own people at all, which made it feel inexplicably cold. It looked at the snub and saw that the snub was still the same indifferent look, and it didn't know what it was thinking.
"This young master," said the round-faced shopkeeper, still smiling at the snub star, "how is it?
Snub Star replied coldly, "No." ”
The shopkeeper's smile stiffened slightly, and then quickly recovered: "Don't say that, you see, this guy is actually okay, and he is the best thing I have here." ”
He pointed to an orc, that orc belongs to the wolf clan among the orcs, many places on his body are covered with gray hair, you can see his strong muscles, but he looks a little sluggish: "This guy has the strength of level eight, it is definitely very useful to buy it back as a guard." ”
"It's only level eight, what's the use?" said him, and Snub Xing walked out of the store. Behind him, the shopkeeper looked unhappy, where should you be, it's already very good to have eighth-level goods, do you still think that there will be heaven-level slaves to sell? At first glance, it was the child of a family, but when he heard that there was such a place, he ran around and walked around, completely ignorant of the rules here.
"It turned out that it was a slave trade. ”
Snub Star nodded: "Well, yes, it's also the first time I've known that there is such a place in Oran City." ”
Bai Yu suddenly asked Snub Xing, "When you see these slaves, will you sympathize with them?"
Snub Star asked rhetorically, "Then do you sympathize with them?"
"It's a little pitiful, but the sympathy can't be said enough. Although he felt that the question of the snub star was a little strange, Bai Yu still replied, "I am not a human race, they are not my kind. ”
"I'm just like you. Snub Star said.
"Are you the same?" Bai Yu was confused, not quite understanding what Snub Star meant, but it seemed that Snub Star didn't intend to explain. It suddenly realized that although it had signed a psychic pact with the cold star, it had no idea what he was thinking.
