Chapter 232: Little Calamity (Part II)
Luo Ming lives by himself, expands his sphere of influence, develops productive forces or something, whether it is for his personal ambition or simply to repay His Highness the Black Sun, after all, it can make more people live better, if this is evil, there are few people in the world who are righteous.
Sacrificing a girl who is not the most pitiful for the sake of the cause...... There was a slight sense of guilt, but it would never let him hesitate to act.
Luo Ming showed the warm smile he usually showed to Grant and Charlotte, and walked into the room with a brotherly affinity.
Before actually burying the girl's life with her own hands, let her at least have a sweet dream—to be bought by a gentle master, and henceforth only to do some light work of sprinkling and sweeping, to be able to command some poor slave who is even more inferior than her, and possibly even the mistress of a small manor......
Then, let her lose her life unnoticed in happiness and longing for the future.
Although it is a hypocrisy that has been criticized for a long time, Luo Ming thinks that this is still very good - although it will not change anyone or anything, it can be regarded as a kind of self-satisfaction.
And there's nothing to lose by doing so, so why not?
"Oh...... Such a beautiful young lady has fallen to this point, what a fateful fate...... It's okay, I'm here to set you free. ”
When he saw the girl in the room, Luo Ming was in a trance for a moment, and the words that came out of his mouth were not just acting, but also some gaffes.
If you only talk about appearance, she is just an ordinary beauty, not to mention on the earth, even after coming to this world, Luo Ming has seen dozens of girls who are almost as beautiful as her.
However, there is a peculiar charm about her...... Or is it allure?
Somehow, Luo Ming came up with the idea of the Moth Lamp - to fascinate people, and then lead to a disillusioned ending.
Laughing at his gaffe a little in his heart, Luo Ming approached the girl who was sitting on the bed in a daze and observed her carefully.
"Good skin and hair...... Or too good to be true. It looks good, but ......"
For him, a person who has been accomplished in qigong for more than ten years, he seems to be able to feel the abnormality of this girl from his breath - Luo Ming is not willing to spend money to buy back a useless person for nothing, so he opens the energy vision to look.
The energy in her body is a little too vigorous, almost comparable to a high-level swordsman, much higher than the energy of ordinary people.
But this energy is distinct from her own life energy, and it seems that it is not controlled by her own will, and operates on its own.
"Oh, it looks like a curse, it's funny. Aya said as if she was a little excited.
"Curse, what kind of curse? etc...... It doesn't matter, what matters is whether you think she can use it?" Luo Ming immediately said silently in his heart, "If you are not satisfied, I can go to the next one, about this curse, if something happens it will be bad......"
"It doesn't matter. I just happened to know this curse, and it wasn't just a bad thing for me, it was even a small windfall. ”
Aya laughed.
In these three words, the fate of the girl was finally decided.
"What's this girl's name?" Luo Ming asked suddenly.
"To tell you the truth, this girl is actually the last descendant of a family with a bit of history, her full name is 'Liana Andreevich Mikhail', it is said that there was a marquis in her ancestors thousands of years ago, so she is worthy of a noble person like you, right?"
The strong man of the slave catcher smiled flatteringly, not like the kind of adventurer who would be born and die abroad, but more like a pimping turtle.
But that's the case, don't expect him to be a bit heroic in this business.
"There are so many rumors that maybe even you are the descendant of dozens of generations from the illegitimate son of a king. It's not interesting to talk about this kind of thing too much. If you look at her own appearance and health, I think she is worth one hundred and twenty gold coins. ”
Luo Ming's knife was so hard that the four big men of the slave hunting team around him immediately gasped, and even accidentally let out a scream like a chicken that was grabbed by the neck.
"No, this young master, you can't talk nonsense like that!"
"A noble bloodline is a noble bloodline, how can you settle accounts vulgarly one by one?"
"We've spent all the money we've spent on her along the way!"
"This young lady still knows how to read, write, and count! When we caught her, we found the ledger and sixteen books in her room!"
In this way, they quickly explained.
Ledger and Sixteen Books...... It's really unusual. Luo Ming thought so.
Although the Principality is already a country that values education a lot, it is still a skill that can be used to find a job anywhere.
If there is a maid who can settle accounts, she can avoid being deceived and his subordinates embezzling public funds in many cases, and it can also make a lord a lot easier.
As for the sixteen books...... Don't look at this amount in the eyes of earthlings, it seems that it is very small, but the price of a book in this era is basically equivalent to 100 acres of fertile land. Needless to say, these sixteen books must have been taken and sold by them.
There are sixteen books, which can basically prove that this girl is indeed highly educated, and her manners and learning, and her way of speaking are far superior to those of ordinary earth bun lords—there are not too many petty nobles with higher education like Charlotte.
If it were an ordinary earth bun lord, I am afraid that when he heard these two, he would happily pay three or four hundred gold coins to bring such a treasure home.
Help manage the family business, instruct the male owner on etiquette, usually take it out to show off, and let her be a tutor to educate the next generation...... What a bargain.
However, these two points were not of much use to Luo Ming, so next, he used his three-inch incorruptible tongue as much as possible to negotiate the price with the people of the slave hunting team.
Of course, these people can't make full decisions, so the captain of the slave catcher team was called in front of Luo Ming.
It's another bargaining war.
==================================
The next day, at noon.
"Isn't it just a matter of price, you guy, and that's it? Just send an army for this kind of thing? Your adults will be very angry, right?"
The captain roared angrily and fought, but before he could knock down a soldier, he was attacked by Granty, who easily knocked him down with a disadvantage in strength.
"I'm sorry, Luo Ming himself is a lord...... Also, you have a strange smell on your body. ”
With that, Granty raised her sword, which shone with a golden light.
"Well hidden, cultist!"
