0126. Enthusiastic citizens
After saying goodbye to Thorthy and leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Hodge returned to his room.
"Borch. Hodge shouted.
A small wriggling piece began to bulge on his back, and gradually a small claw covered with golden scales climbed up the back of his neck, and then with the help of the adsorption force of his hoofed claws, his pure golden body was easily drilled out of the back collar, and the small wings fluttered twice, and then quickly converged.
The little dragon climbed all the way up to Hodge's shoulder, and as he spread his palms, Borch flapped the dragon's wings and glided, landing easily in the palm of his hand.
"I'm still not used to clinging to your backbone, which is obviously as vile as a noble dragon as a parasite. The little golden dragon was full of disgust.
"If you don't want to be a despicable parasite in your mouth, just play your worth. Hodge waved his hand, "You saw everything clearly." ”
"Of course, it is clear that I saw the whole process of your secret little lover. Borch yawned, and eventually a few rays of sparks emerged, "Don't look at me in surprise, you don't think I can't see that person is a woman, although she has changed her makeup, and she seems to have something on her body that can hide her gender, but as a dragon standing at the top of the biological chain, it is easy to see through this rough disguise." ”
"Wait, wait, why did you put your hand over, don't grab my wings, stop!" the little golden dragon shouted.
Hodge let go of his hand, stroking his forehead full of helplessness, and didn't know whether to praise the superiority of the ancient dragon's bloodline, in just two years, Borch has fully adapted to this era, and even more like a creature belonging to this era than himself, but unfortunately the knowledge it has learned is too comprehensive, causing the logic of thinking to spread more and more and outrageous.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about. ”
Xiao Jinlong gasped twice: "You want to ask her about the needle hole on the back of her hand, don't worry, as she said, it is not a trace of other people's abuse of her, it was pierced by herself, and the purpose should be to take blood." ”
Borch's conclusion is still worth believing, the dragon's ability to observe the world is far stronger than that of humans, and the nature of the world's power is also more thoroughly understood.
Hearing this conclusion, Hodge breathed a sigh of relief and had more doubts, how could Dunbar think of taking his own blood? Judging from the needle hole on the back of his hand, it was obvious that this was not a matter of a day or two.
"Can you find out why?"
"I don't know, the power system I'm currently analyzing is mostly from wizards and knights, and while some of the witchcraft systems do require blood, I don't feel a similar power in her wounds, and I'm pretty sure she's not a witch. I didn't tell you before that she had something on her that concealed her gender, maybe it had something to do with it. ”
Gender-obscuring items?
In fact, at the very beginning, he had a similar guess, Dunbar can dress up as a man in makeup, and he can deliberately imitate his behavior, coupled with a neutral face, it is indeed not difficult to deceive ordinary people.
But there is a transcendent power in this world, both magicians and wizards have detection spells, and they can easily see a person's true gender, as the daughter of the Grand Duke, it is impossible for her to be in contact with a magician in the crowd, that is to say, there must be some kind of means, and even be able to deceive the senses of magicians.
Is it a product of witchcraft, or is it a product of magic?
Hodge shook his head and asked instead, "How is her health, will she be severely damaged by the blood draw?"
The little golden dragon shook his head impatiently: "I can only say that she looks okay, as for whether she is healthy, it is useless for you to ask me, I should let Ophelia check it, her natural witchcraft is the most perfect exploration technique I have ever seen, even the dragon clan's secret eye cannot be compared." ”
"Okay, I have to go back to my lab, don't summon me to see if your little lover's health is okay. ”
The little golden dragon fluttered its wings and flew crookedly through the air, walking up the stairs towards the underground laboratory, muttering whining from time to time.
"Damn, I'm a noble dragon. ”
"What did Master Soros say?"
"He didn't say anything, he just smashed over a bag with ten gold coins and ninety silver coins in it!"
The thief-eyed man whispered to his companion: "Since that incident, the price of slaves has risen throughout the continent, and good goods can be sold for sky-high prices, we are so lucky to meet a girl with a beautiful face around the age of thirteen, I bet that Lord Soros can earn a hundred gold coins when he changes hands! Many noble lords like this taste of * slaves." ”
"......A hundred gold coins! Oh my!"
His companion swallowed so hard that his eyes were about to kick out of his sockets, a gold coin he would never see in his life.
The man looked at him and said mockingly: "Don't think about it, if we sell it ourselves, not only will we not be able to make a hundred gold coins, I'm afraid we won't even have this big bag of money, the slave traders won't allow retail investors to stir up the situation, be content, this is enough for us to live happily in Jiyuan for a lifetime!"
"Yes, you're right. The companion came to his senses, and reached out and took the money bag handed by the man, which was neatly stacked with forty-five silver and five gold coins, and he had not earned so much money after twenty years of apprenticeship in a tailor's shop.
"It's a pity that the girl's sister doesn't know where to go. "They're twins, and the older sister seems to have a better temperament, and might be able to sell more gold." ”
They were the two homeless girls they met in an abandoned logging hut, their clothes were quite shabby and unpatched, they must have been homeless people from some city, and it was not surprising that there were wars everywhere now.
But they were so beautiful, the two of them were ready to move from the first sight of them, but let the others know that they would be beheaded if they sold the refugees as slaves, so they first pretended to be good at deceiving the two girls, and waited until they were in a place where there was no one, and then they were captured at night, but unfortunately I don't know if the older girl noticed something, and when they attacked the residence, they only found their sister, it was dark at that time, and there was no condition for careful searching, with the mentality of having a profit for one, they carried their sister to a nearby city, and the men went to talk to the slave traders and sold。
"Yes, but that sister is really ruthless, and she actually left her sister behind. The man laughed: "I don't know how she will react when she sees her sister one day, I'm afraid she will be trained by then." ”
Boom.
As the two were talking, a muffled noise came from the depths of the street.
It sounded like a stone falling to the ground.
The wind flow was slow, but the smoke and dust quickly spread out from the depths of the street, obscuring most of the two people's vision.
"Whoa, whoa. The man yelled angrily.
"My ...... Where's my sister?"
A petite figure gradually emerged from the smoke and dust, and the two stared at each other to find that it was actually the girl who had escaped.
"Do you dare to come back?" the man asked in surprise, and then a smile came to his lips, "Very well, don't you want to know where your sister is, you will meet her soon." ”
"Catch her!"
The two of them rushed over with the solid sticks, and the girl really stood there indifferently, indifferent to it at all.
"What a wise choice!" the man grinned, raised his wooden stick and struck the girl on the back of the head.
Click!
The man's stick fell, making a cracking sound.
He was slightly stunned, looking at the half-cut stick left in his hand, and the section was countless wooden ballast.
This is solid wood, how can it break when you hit your head?
"My ...... Where's my sister!" the girl asked again.
The man could see the girl's face clearly, the exposed skin did not look like a human at all, it was iron blue, and the place where he hit it did not even get a swollen lump.
"How is that possible?" exclaimed the man, "what kind of monster are you!"
The little hands that were as hard as iron grabbed him directly by the throat and pressed him against the wall, and the girl's voice came again, only this time it made him feel cold.
"Answer my question. The girl's pupils were like countless thin needles intertwined, and when you looked at her, you would feel a sour and stinging pain in her eyes.
Bang!
His companion's sticks also fell, and he was a little slower.
The girl glanced back at her, waving her free other arm, casually as if to repel a fly in front of her.
The figure of his companion vanished suddenly, and a thick dirt wall beside the street was mostly dented, and his body was embedded in it in a distorted position, his chest cavity was completely sunken, and his mouth, nostrils, and ears were oozing red blood.
"She's still alive! she's still alive!" the man was almost frightened, and hurriedly said to the female killer in front of him: "Your sister is still alive, she should be in the slave market on West Street now, probably in Soros, the largest slave trader's private warehouse!"
"So you sold my sister as a slave?" said the girl coldly.
The man's breath was suffocated, and fear flooded his mouth and nose like a tide.
"But I still have to thank you. ”
The girl suddenly smiled and said, "Goodbye." ”
With a click, the girl walked out of the alleyway, leaving the man with a broken neck bone.
"The slave market on West Street. ”
She muttered to herself as she stretched out her arm, the iron-gray color quickly dissipating, revealing the pink skin that she should have at this age.
She took out the only small sac on her body and poured the contents into the palm of her hand, which was a small grain the size of three grains of wheat.
"All that's left is copper, green sand, and emerald stone. She whispered, thought for a moment, pinched out the copper grains, put the others back into the pouch, and then put the copper grains into her mouth.
Dramatic changes have occurred again, and the tan color has replaced the original skin.
"Heatina, I'll come to your rescue right away. ”
Day 2.
The town has shocking news that the respected and loving Great Benevolent Soros has been killed, and his family and his entourage have fallen in a pool of blood.
"It's too much, Lord Soros is so kind. ”
"That's right, may the perpetrator not die a good death!"
