Chapter 14: I Bought and Sold Humans in Another World
In the guest room of the Town Ghost Guanguan, Lin Jue was lying on the table looking at a book dedicated to magicians and spellcasters, and asked, "Hey, little phoenix, speaking of which, you should be regarded as a magician." ”
Lying on the bed eating an apple, Phinex stretched out a hand, snapped her fingers, and a cluster of flames appeared in her fingertips, muttering, "Well, if anyone who knows magic is called a magician, I should be so." ”
Fenix is a phoenix who can do magic, and remembering the scene that happened in the desert before, Lin Jue suddenly felt that his mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this world.
In the desert, Lin Jue asked Fenix, "Little Phoenix, don't you know magic? ”
As a result, with a wave of her hand, Phoenix's hand swept through the sky, and the caravan was nearly wiped out in the fire.
Thinking of this scene, Lin Jue closed the book and asked, "Do you only know fire magic?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Lin Jue shook his head helplessly and said, "It's nothing, I'll ask." If you were graded by the level of a human magician, what level would you be?"
Phinex thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about this, I'm still young, and my talent bloodline hasn't been fully developed, probably ...... It's the equivalent of a great magician. ”
"Well, I'll see. Lin Jue opened the book in front of him and read it in a low voice: "The Great Magician is already the top magician in this world, as of January 1, 1310, the unified calendar of the Continent, there are a total of eighteen great magicians in the entire human world. ”
"I'll go, only eighteen people?" Lin Jue looked at this line of words with a shocked face, originally he thought that this dream witch just threw him a stupid and cute stupid bird, but he didn't expect this stupid bird to be a master.
"If she didn't lie to me, that means that this so-called witch can drive a great magician at will, so what should her strength be? But also, if you can get yourself here from another world, how bad can your strength be?
Early the next morning, at the Ghost Pass, the general of the town guard mansion sent someone to hand Lin Jue an invitation card and invited him to the town guard mansion for a while. Because Lin Jue entered the territory of the Yan Empire and presented the customs clearance document was personally instructed by King Orlante, the Yan Empire must show the etiquette for treating state guests, and the general of the town guard mansion did this move, but he just wanted to understand what happened to Lin Jue, a distinguished guest, came to the Yan Empire, when he learned that Lin Jue only came to the Yan Empire to do business, under the low-key behavior that Lin Jue had been entrusted, the general only passed a express report to Kyoto and ignored it, and respectfully sent Lin Jue back to the pavilion, and arranged a few carriages to accompany him. After entering the territory of the Yan Empire, there was no longer a scene of yellow sand in the sky, and it was useless for the camels to come here before, and if they wanted to arrive in Kyoto as soon as possible with a few large boxes, they could only choose to drive a carriage.
On the morning of the third day of coming to the town ghost pass, Lin Jue and his party were about to march to the capital of the Yan Empire. In the early morning, the town ghost pass, the prosperity is still the same, the merchants come and go in an endless stream, most of the caravans rest here for a night, the next morning will set off for the next destination, a small number of merchants will stay here, clean up the goods in their hands.
On the street, the hustle and bustle of selling was endless, and Lin Jue, who was still dozing off, was completely dispelled by such a noise. Passing by the corner of the slave trade again, seeing the unclothed refugees being pushed and shoved, standing neatly on the stalls one by one like goods, Lin Jue sighed softly.
"Why, poor people, do you want to pick two good-looking slaves to be maids?" said Fenix, laughing.
Lin Jue hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, people fled to the Yan Empire in order to have a future, what should I do with buying people? ”
Phinex smiled: "That's your world, this world is only the rules on the surface at most, and no one will care about you in secret." ”
Lin Jue frowned, and was about to speak, when a noise came from outside the carriage. When I put my head out, I saw a dirty teenager who didn't know what had happened, and was being whipped with a whip by a slave trader, and his back had been beaten with several blood marks, and his clothes had been torn to shreds. The child gritted his teeth stubbornly and whimpered on the ground. The slave traders were beating and scolding, and many people gathered around the place to block the road ahead.
Uncle Chen pulled the curtain and said bitterly: "My lord, there are too many onlookers here, and the carriage can't go for a while." ”
Lin Jue frowned, hesitated for a while, sighed softly, stepped out of the carriage, and walked towards the crowd.
"Let you steal, I'll let you steal!" the slave trader was still beating the kid hard.
The crowd of onlookers around was pointing and talking, and some of them shouted hello, but no one stepped forward to stop them. All kinds of unintelligible languages are gathered in one place, and this place is very lively. After inquiring about the people around him, Lin Jue understood the whole story, it turned out that this child was originally just a wandering beggar on the street of Zhenguiguan, yesterday morning, because he was too hungry, so he stole a vendor's white-flour steamed buns, and was caught by the vendor and whipped for a day, it seems that this person does not understand Chinese, no matter what he asks, he does not answer, the vendor suspects that he is a black market population, and he is still angry this morning, so he threw him here and let the slave trader deal with the child.
"Hey, you're not going to go up and persuade you, if you continue to fight, you're going to die. Phoenixes encouraged.
Lin Jue raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Hey, little phoenix, why didn't I find out before, you are so sympathetic?"
Fenix smiled and said, "I'm not overflowing with sympathy, it's just a certain person, who obviously can't bear it and wants to go up to help, but he refuses to come forward, he just doesn't know what he's worried about." Is someone willing to watch a young life die before his eyes?"
Lin Jue was silent, to be honest, according to previous social experience, this kind of thing can naturally be ignored, at most just to see the excitement. If you take care of it, if you don't manage it well, you will have to get into trouble. But according to the current situation, none of the onlookers took this child's life seriously, and in this world where human life is worthless, even if he dies tragically in front of himself, what is it?
"Let you steal, I'll let you steal! I'll let you ...... Huh?" the slave trader turned his head to see that his whip had been caught. Lin Jue grabbed the whip, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't fight, if you fight again, you will die." How much does this kid cost, I bought it. ”
Hearing this, the slave trader's surprised expression immediately turned into a flattering look, and said: "Hey, boss, this piglet is disobedient, and he steals things indiscriminately, and he doesn't obey discipline, buy it back, something will happen sooner or later in the future, or I will pick an obedient one for you again?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "No need, it's him." You just say it, how much. ”
"Five silver coins, ah, no, three silver coins, three silver coins. ”
