These days, Jiang Li has been thinking about giving Jessica some rewards as a thank you, and giving some gold coins as dividends has been rejected, but if you give gifts, you don't know what to give, I haven't been in love before, and I don't know what girls like in general, and whether modern girls like the same things that girls in this world like can't be compared, so I can only ask her to go out with me to see if she has something she wants.

Jiang Li came to the magic academy early in the morning to wait, and secretly listened to the magic class taught by the old man Green outside the window, and found that this bad old man only taught some theoretical knowledge, and there was no actual operation at all, and it was not clear what he said, no wonder there were so few magicians in the country of Xia, it turned out that this old man was harmed.

"Alas, what a misguided child. Jiang Li sighed lightly.

"What misguided people's children?" it was Jessica who spoke, and she quietly appeared behind Jiang Li, scaring Jiang Li a lot.

"Ouch, scare me, why did you run out? Don't you go to class?" Jiang Li's face turned a little pale.

"No, Mr. Green asked me to help him get some materials, and when I came back, I just saw you sneaking around here, and what did you just say about misleading people?"

"It's nothing, you scared me, how can I compensate?!" Jiang Li looked shocked.

"Oh, don't you get away from it, what did you just say misleading people, did you mean Teacher Green?" asked Jessica reluctantly.

"Yes, yes, I mean he misled people's children, what's wrong? Am I proud?

"Poof, Teacher Green is the most respected mage in Quan'anzhou, and it's the first time anyone dares to say that. Jessica covered her mouth and snickered.

"Hey, he's still respectable. Jiang Li seemed to have some disdain for Green's status.

"Don't tell me you came to the Academy of Magic early in the morning to complain about Teacher Green. ”

"How is it possible, I'm waiting for you to get out of class. ”

Jessica was a little surprised: "Wait for me, why are you waiting for me?"

Jiang Li explained: "Didn't I sell the demon core a few days ago, I said that you would pay dividends, but you don't want it. ”

Jessica nodded.

Jiang Li then said: "So, as compensation, I decided to grant you a wish, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you." ”

In Jiang Li's opinion, generally a girl in this situation should be moved, and then all kinds of thanks or something, obviously he doesn't know the girl, Jessica is not very surprised, nor is she very moved, and her face has not changed, just looking at Jiang Li blankly.

"You are talking, how embarrassed I should be if you don't answer me. Jiang Li said loudly with a red face.

Jessica, who came back to her senses, pointed to her nose and asked, "Why me?"

Jiang Li was about to die of anger, he thought that the routines commonly used by the rich second generation in the TV series could get Jessica, but he didn't expect her to react like this.

"So, if you accompany me to the Misty Jungle, you should always show it, and you don't want dividends, I can only thank you in this way. ”

Jessica looked shocked and said, "But I don't need anything." ”

"Then you save it first, in short, I can fulfill one of your wishes, and come to me after you think about it, okay?!"

Jessica nodded in agreement, then added, "Are you here today to talk about this?"

"Of course, this is a big deal that has been bothering me for days. ”

Jessica sneered, tears of tears were about to burst out of the corners of her eyes, which made Jiang Li a little embarrassed, and his face was a little red.

"That's it, I'll go first, there's still something, goodbye. Jiang Li walked away in embarrassment, walked back after taking two steps.

"Is there anything else?" Jessica was about to enter the classroom, but saw Jiang Li walking back.

"I'm waiting here for you to get out of class, and I'll go somewhere with me in the afternoon. Jiang Li said a little domineeringly.

"No, I have something to do in the afternoon. Jessica decisively rejected Jiang Li

"I'll wait for you on the bench over there, that's all. ”

"Hey!"

Jiang Li didn't mean to look at Jessica, it seemed that regardless of whether she agreed or not, she had to accompany him in the afternoon anyway, Jessica hung her head and sighed, and reluctantly entered the classroom.

The time for class to end soon came, Jessica walked out of the classroom, saw Jiang Li who was drowsy on the bench, angry and funny, walked to the side and patted Jiang Li gently.

"Hey, get up. ”

Jiang Li pretended to be calm and straightened his waist and said, "I'm not asleep again." ”

"Aren't you going to let me go somewhere with you, and do you still have time to doze off here?"

"I said I didn't sleep. ”

"Okay, I know, let's go, I've pushed my business to accompany you. ”

Jiang Li nodded, and after the two walked out of the palace, Jiang Li stopped in front of the palace gate, looked at the surrounding houses, and said to Jessica quietly: "How can there be a talent market in this Anzhou City?"

Jessica glared and wondered, "What is a talent market?"

"Well, yes, I want to hire some servants, and I don't know where to hire them. ”

"So I just showed you the way..."

Jessica lowered her head, her expression was a little gloomy, Jiang Li didn't know where she said the wrong thing, but she still made an explanation.

"Don't say that, you're my only friend in Anzhou, so of course this kind of good thing is looking for you. ”

Jiang Li smiled, looking a little underwhelmed.

"What about the princess, who comes to your house every day to have lunch with you, aren't you friends?" asked Jessica in a low voice.

Jiang Li slapped himself hard, dug another pit and jumped down.

"The princess is a princess, and she is not familiar with Anzhou City, so of course she can't look for her. Jiang Li hurriedly explained.

"Then I'm not still a leader. ”

Jiang Li covered his temples with both hands, rubbing them painfully, his expression was very distorted, Jessica looked at the food and smiled, seeing Jessica laughing so happily, Jiang Li realized that he had been tricked.

"Eldest sister, don't be like this, I'm wrong, I can't do it, please take me there. ”

Jessica said angrily when she heard this: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there, but don't call me eldest sister, I'm so young, are you embarrassed?"

"Excuse me..."

There is a slave market in Dongshi, where slaves of various races are sold, regardless of men and women, young and old, on the Dongsheng continent, people who become slaves cannot escape the fate of being sold, the slave trade on this continent is legal, and slaves are not caught casually, those who become slaves are generally captured in the war, or committed a major crime and were demoted to slaves, if they catch ordinary people as slaves, they will also be sentenced to human trafficking after being found, and the crime is very big, so ordinary people dare not take risks.

Jessica led Jiang Li to the slave market, which was decorated like a theater in medieval Europe, with a large stage built in the middle, and the rarer races would be auctioned off, while some of the more ordinary ones were selected in the market, and there were hundreds of iron cages built in the market, and there were some slaves in each cage, with chains around their necks, and they sat listlessly on the ground, as if waiting for death.

Jiang Li saw these slaves, he felt a little uncomfortable, he was used to seeing the words of equality in the past, and now he saw these slaves who were imprisoned like livestock, and then the sellers' lofty faces, all of which hit Jiang Li's heart fiercely, he had an idea of buying them all, and then let them each return to their hometowns, but thinking that if they could save this batch, there would be follow-up slaves to make up, Jiang Li's heart fell into a tangle.

"Jessica, what do you think of slaves?" Jiang Li opened his mouth first, this question also impacted Jessica, she was born in a peaceful and powerful elf kingdom, and there were no slaves in the country, but after coming to the country of Xia, she also had the same thoughts as Jiang Li in her heart after seeing slaves a few times, but she couldn't change the system at all.

"There is no such thing as slavery in my country, but I just hope that these slaves will meet a good master. ”

Jiang Li heard the meaning of Jessica's words, but he originally meant to hire some servants, but Jessica brought him to the slave market, also hoping that Jiang Li could save some slaves.

Looking at these slaves in cages, Jiang Li did feel some compassion.

The two of them walked around the market for a while, but they saw the sound of shouting and whipping coming from an iron cage.

I saw a bearded man waving a whip and whipping the orc slaves in the cage, the slaves were only wearing thin linen, the beaten was a woman, there were two long rabbit ears standing on the gray dry hair, and the body had been drawn out of the whip A few blood marks, she covered her face with her hands, tears flowed, and her red eyes looked particularly bright.

"Stop!" Jiang Li couldn't stand it and yelled.

The bearded man stopped beating when he heard the sound, and looked up and down Jiang Li with disdain, and in the face of such a plainly dressed young man, he naturally didn't pay attention to it, and said loudly: "What are you? What does it matter to you that I teach my slaves?"

Dahan was right, Jiang Li really didn't have the right to take care of other people's affairs, and besides, this was still his slave, so he couldn't help but stop because he couldn't bear it.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak, the bearded man began to whip again, along with several orcs around him.

"I'll tell you to stop!" Jiang Li ignored Jessica's pull, and swung a punch at the bearded man, only to see the big man being punched away, turning twice in the air, and hitting the pillar of the cage, the slaves stared at Jiang Li with wide eyes, and some onlookers began to gather around him.

The bearded man slowly got up, and the whip in his hand just wanted to swing at Jiang Li, but unexpectedly, the security guards in the market came, and several strong men with weapons followed behind an elderly man.

"Who's making trouble here?"

The elder spoke, his voice majestic, it seemed that he was the person in charge of the market.

Before Jiang Li could speak, the bearded man took the lead and said to the elder: "Old Chen, the villain is just teaching his own slaves, but this kid is nosy and beats me up, and I hope that Old Chen will call the shots." ”

Everyone looked at Jiang Li and Jessica.

Jessica whispered in Jiang Li's ear: "Why do you make trouble every time you come out with you!"

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I get into trouble. Jiang Li also said softly.

"Can you give the old man an explanation?" the old man spoke, his tone a little unpleasant.

I saw Jiang Li salute respectfully: "This is indeed my fault, I apologize to this person, but I saw him beat this young lady with a whip, so I couldn't help but take action." ”

Jiang Li pointed to the rabbit-eared orcs in the cage and said.

As soon as the words fell, everyone at the scene looked at Jiang Li in surprise, everyone knew that this was a slave market, and it was just a normal thing to beat and scold slaves, this young man actually called a slave a miss, which couldn't help but surprise people.

"Joke, my own slave is still beating and scolding?" the bearded man laughed playfully.

"Indeed, what this slave owner did is normal, but I don't know why Gongzi intervened to stop it?"

Jiang Li knew that he was at a loss, the moral courtesy he knew did not work at all, a slave was just a commodity, and he had never heard of anyone fighting for a commodity.

"Then I will buy these slaves as compensation, and I will also give you your medical expenses, okay?" Jiang Li didn't pay attention to it after all, if he continued to quarrel, he would definitely be the one who suffered.

"Hahaha, sell you, it's okay, a fifty gold coin!" the big man said to Jiang Li with a sneer.

At this time, the market began to be lively, a slave was not worth so much money at all, fifty gold coins was already ten times the ordinary price, and everyone talked about it, saying that Jiang Li would not be able to buy it.

"Okay, I've bought them all. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Jiang Li intently, as if they were looking at a fool again, even if they were not fools, they were wronged.

"Hahahaha, I met a fool. The bearded man laughed, full of mockery.

Jiang Li took out three hundred gold coins and threw them on the ground one by one: "This is three hundred gold coins, together with the medical expenses for you, all here, come and pick them up." ”

Insulted, the bearded man's face turned pale, but when he saw the glittering gold coins on the ground, he was a little moved.

"Oh, don't you think it's enough?" Jiang Li said lightly.

Then he took out another hundred and threw them on the ground, and the surroundings began to boil, and the five slaves sold them for four hundred gold coins, which was more expensive than the auction.

Dahan couldn't hold back any longer, he lay on the ground and picked it up, his dignity was worthless in front of money.

"Open the cage for me, and untie the shackles around my neck. Jiang Li said loudly.

The crowd was in an uproar again, not only buying the slaves, but also removing the shackles that symbolized the slaves, which was really puzzling.

And the old man just now looked at this young man with interest and smiled intriguingly.

Jiang Li led a group of slaves straight out of the market.
