After leaving the shop, soon after, Bai Yu saw two more doors, one black and one red, exactly the same as what they had seen before. But the difference was that next to the red door, there were two ninth-level peak guards stationed there, these two guards were sturdy, and although the black masks on their faces covered their expressions, they could still clearly feel the fierce aura emanating from their bodies.

Snub Xing walked towards the red door, and just as he walked to the door, the two guards stopped him and said coldly, "Please show your VIP card." ”

"Can't you enter without a VIP card?" asked Snub Star.

The two guards didn't answer again, just made an unwelcome gesture to the cold star, these guards were specially trained to do not do a good job of driving people away, so as not to run into any troublesome people. Of course, if you really don't know how to go in, then you can't blame others.

Instead of insisting, Snub Star turned around and walked into the Black Gate, walking down the steps inside the door, the steps are spiraling, extending into the darkness below, and going down the steps will give people a strange feeling of stepping into the abyss. Walking up two flights of steps, Snub Star and White Feather came to the underground part of Dakris. It's like a large hall, and it's made of pale yellow masonry throughout. There were a few dim magic lamps sparsely lit on the walls, and the small light source emitted an orange-red glow, reflecting the entire hall in a dim light, making the place look extremely dark.

There were quite a few people in this dimly lit hall, some of them were buyers, while others were waiters-like people in the same black dress, who were probably dozing off the staff inside. At this moment, seeing the cold star coming down, one of them walked towards the cold star: "Hello, please show your slave transfer certificate, and I will take you to pick up your slave." ”

Snub Star handed him the slave certificate, the staff member took it, took out a notebook, flipped through it, and then wrote something on it with a pen, and returned the slave certificate to Snub Star: "Okay, the inspection is complete, your goods have just been delivered, please come with me." ”

Snub followed him and walked into a long narrow passage from the hall, where he could see that in the cages on either side of the passage, some were locked up slaves, and some were empty. It seems that the slaves who were bought would be housed here, waiting for their masters to accept them. The staff member walked to a cage with Snub Star, took out a bunch of keys, jumped out of one of them and unlocked it. Bai Yu could recognize at a glance that it was the girl inside, her brown hair hung down to her shoulders, her head was kept down, and her hair hanging forward covered her eyes, such a posture made her body extremely thin.

"Please confirm the goods. ”

Snub nodded and didn't speak, just glanced at the girl and walked forward. The girl seemed to know what it meant, and slowly walked out of the cage, following behind Snub Star.

"Ahead is the exit, good luck all the way. Behind the snub star, the staff member bent down slightly, then turned back.

Walking to the end, Bai Yu could see that there was an upward staircase in front of him, and there were two ninth-level peak guards standing there next to the stairs, and when he saw them coming, he didn't stop them. Snub Star walked up the steps, and above the steps, a half-open door could be seen, and the dazzling sunlight was shining through the gap in the open door, which was particularly bright.

Seeing this ray of sunshine, Bai Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if he had carried a big stone for a long time and finally put it down. It turned its head to look at the cold star, and the sunlight fell on the cold star's long silver hair, rendering the cold star's long hair a faint layer of gold, which looked particularly bright. However, the cold star's face was still the same indifferent expression that could not be seen in anything, and it seemed that it had never changed.

On the streets of Oran, pedestrians of all colors hurried by, some laughing, some silent, some laughing, some sad. However, no matter what kind of people they are, the city accepts them with a broad mind, and the city has become colorful as a result.

For the people of Oran City, the most special time here is at night. Åland City is dominated by business and service industries, and at night, instead of being silent, it becomes more lively than during the day. Most of the residents of Åland go to bed late, and they go out after dinner until midnight, and gradually, the night market is a unique feature of Åland. In other cities, although there are also night markets, they are far inferior to Oran City in terms of scale and merchandise, after all, in other places, most people have already slept at this time.

At the night market in Oran City, everyone is free to buy and sell items, without any restrictions at all, even some contraband. In addition, due to the Ålan Empire's policy of encouraging commerce, transactions in the night market were not counted as taxes, so this huge profit attracted a large number of merchants. Gradually, the evening became the most important trading time in Åland, and once it was evening, most of the residents would join in, and there would be some adventurers from other places who wanted to see if they could find what they needed, so the night in Åland was always very lively.

On this night, in an inconspicuous alley in Oran City, two people were walking slowly. Slightly behind was a young girl wearing a yellow robe with a hood, covering her entire body. She hung her head down, and a few strands of light brown hair leaked out of the brim of her hat, blocking her eyes, so that no one could see the look in her eyes. In front of her was a young man, dressed in white, with long silver hair hanging down naturally behind him, and the dazzling silver could not be concealed even at night. The boy was born extremely handsome, and even if someone said that he was a woman, I am afraid that others would not hesitate to agree. In the young man's silver eyes, there was a natural coldness, as if there was nothing in the whole world worthy of his attention. On the right shoulder of the boy, there was a small bird, its beak, claws, and the gorgeous crown on its head were vermilion, and the feathers of its whole body were elegant pure white, revealing an indescribable nobility from beginning to end. These two people and one bird, in the lonely alley, constitute a strange scenery, but unfortunately no one sees it.

They walked in silence, Snub Star didn't speak, and Doris didn't speak. In fact, she was carefully observing the teenager who bought herself, because she was planning to escape, and in order to increase her chances of escape, she needed to have as much information about the teenager as possible, after all, there was only one chance to escape.

However, what made her a little puzzled was that this "master" of her seemed to have no interest in her at all, and after buying her, not only did he not say a word to her, but he didn't even glance at her, and the indifferent expression on his face barely changed. Therefore, Doris has no way to know the information related to the cold star, so she can only guess for herself. Why did he buy himself?What kind of background did he have?How could he paralyze him?All kinds of questions intertwined in Doris's heart, and the light in her eyes kept changing, so he had to lower his head to prevent Snub Star from noticing his expression.

Suddenly, Snub Star stopped, and Doris and Snub Star were standing in the doorway of an inn, and Snub Star was looking at it with his indifferent gaze. The hotel is an all-wooden structure, and because the place is a bit remote, there are only a few people in it at this time. Seeing someone standing in the doorway, a waiter walks over and asks if Snub Star needs a room. After asking the price, Snub Star settled on a room, and then led the waiter and walked over, Doris followed behind, after all, she was still not sure of escaping at all, so she needed to make an obedient appearance.

This room is not big, but it looks very clean, it should be cleaned, and the basic living utensils are not missing, in short, it is an ordinary room of an ordinary hotel. However, no one knew that it was in this ordinary place that something happened that could be called a turning point in the history of the continent.

After the waiter left, Snub Star walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, pointed to the bed, and said coldly to Doris, "Sit down, now, let's talk." ”

Doris's heart tightened slightly, and when Snub Xing spoke just now, she suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure. Just as she was about to make a sincere look of fear to refuse, Snub Star suddenly spoke again: "You don't need to disguise, I know you want to escape, but you can sit down and talk to me first." ”

Doris was suddenly startled in her heart, and involuntarily raised her head, since she had been keeping her head down before, this was the first time she had seen the eyes of the cold star. There was no banter, no mockery, only indifference, but she could be sure that the other party was not tempting to escape, but had already determined. In this case, there was no need to hide it, she changed her tone, straightened up, and said coldly: "Since you know, what are you going to do? Sign a slave contract with me to completely control me?"

She knew in her heart that saying this might anger the other party and deprive her of the opportunity to be free, but she still couldn't help the words in her mouth. However, Snub Star showed no signs of being irritated, and there was not even a single fluctuation in his silver eyes, as if he hadn't heard her at all

"If I wanted to, I would have done it a long time ago. ”

Doris was silent for a moment and asked, "In that case, why did you buy me?"

Snub Star replied lightly: "Because you are different from those people. ”

"Different?" she was a little confused, "which do you mean?"

"In Dakris, I can see that the slaves there have given up their quest for freedom and are content to be slaves. ”

Hearing this, Doris fell silent. She knew that what Snub Star said was the truth, every slave who arrived at Chris would resist at the beginning, but it didn't make sense, it could only be exchanged for physical beatings and all kinds of humiliation. Although the Oran Empire clearly stated that the master could not kill a slave if he had not committed a silent crime, it did not have too much control over beatings. In the end, the slaves had no hope of freedom, and could only wait for a better master to buy them out.

Snub continued: "But, you are different, when I passed by, I happened to see you raise your head, and your eyes were different from those slaves. It is because you still have hope for freedom that I will buy you. ”

"Are you trying to get me out?" Doris's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she didn't believe anything like this could happen.

"It's not that I'm trying to get you out, it's that I have some curiosity about you and want answers. However, you can also think so, I don't plan to keep you anyway, and you can go wherever you want when the time comes. ”

Hearing Snub Star's words, Doris understood a little: "Then what do you want to know from me?"

"It's simple," Snub Star asked, "why haven't you given up your quest for freedom there?"

Hearing his question, Doris's eyes suddenly became complicated, she glanced at the night sky outside the window, as if she wanted to find something, and immediately withdrew her gaze: "What does this make me say? You can't understand it." ”

"Impossible?"

"Yes, it can't be, there are some things you can't understand. ”

"Really?"

"Yes," said Doris, looking at the stars in the night sky outside the window, silently in her heart, just as you can't know what the moon is.

Hearing her words, Snub Xing's brows frowned slightly: "Since that's the case......"

The night faded, and the distant sky lit up with a touch of fish's belly. There, the sun is slowly rising from behind the clouds, radiating a dazzling morning light that transmits heat to the land that has just passed through the long night. In an inn in Oran City, the cold star slowly walked out in the light of the morning sun, followed by Doris, dressed in a mage's robe. She still wore her hat, but she didn't bow her head deliberately, and the warm sun shone on her slightly pale face, adding a touch of rosiness to it.

Doris looked at the back in front of her, but there was suddenly a trace of awe and ...... in her heart A touch of sympathy. She is a rather perceptive person, and from last night's conversation with Snub Star, she was vaguely aware of certain qualities of Snub Star. Will this man be able to find what she wants? She didn't know, because she knew how difficult it was, but he was really special, and maybe he could do it.

In this way, the two walked one after the other. When she came to an intersection, Doris suddenly stopped. She looked up, looked at the cold star, and said, "I'm going." ”

"Go ahead," Snub Star continued to walk, without even looking back, "Let me see what you can do." ”

"Since I was born on this continent, I belong to this continent, so I want to do something. She said earnestly: "I know it will be difficult to achieve, but I will still move forward on this path, even if it costs my life, and I should be grateful." If I am bound to die, then I also want to die on this path, because I can no longer allow myself to sit idly by. Anyway, though, I thank you for giving me this opportunity and qualification. ”

With that, she suddenly bent down and bowed in the direction of the snub star. Then he turned and walked in the other direction, leaving a string of firm footsteps in the deserted street.

Although the Star Sword God snubbed the star in the Demon Martial Continent, in fact, he did not leave many traces, and more only appeared in the bard's poems. Later historians, however, believe that he had a considerable influence on the development of history. Although according to the rumors of the cold star, he almost never interfered in the affairs of the world, there is no doubt that many quite famous historical figures of that period were more or less influenced by him, such as Doris, who was later called a saint.

It is recorded that St. Doris once said to those around her who have not been able to fully interpret it correctly: "There was a time of darkness in my life. At that time, I had no hope, just holding on to the last bit of stubbornness and unwillingness, waiting for death to come. If Snub hadn't brought me out at that time, I would probably have died, either by Dakris or by someone who bought me. Thankfully, I met Snub Star, who not only gave me hope, but also opened my eyes to the wider world. It was at that time when he was by his side that I saw my heart clearly and knew what I should do, and it was for this reason that I stood here and worked with you for our common aspirations. I was lucky that he chose me at that time, and the changes he brought to me have been imprinted in my soul. Therefore, I will follow the guidance of my heart and overcome obstacles on this path. Maybe this path will drain my blood, but I know that even if I fall, others will come to my path, because it is the right path. I will do my best to open up this path, remove obstacles and accumulate experience for future generations as much as possible, even if it costs my life. Probably, that's what a pioneer needs to do, and it's what I give back to the world, and thank you for being in this world. ”
