A corner of the market town. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Fat sheep, do you want to move?" a small, dark and thin man with a sharp mouth hid within an equally dark cloak, with only a pair of eyes glinting greedily.
"Fuck your burp!" an orc slapped the black, skinny, sharp-mouthed man on the head, "I didn't see a bunch of guards behind his ass!
"Go back and tell the Boss. "The third is an Imperial human, wearing a fur hat, and after saying that, he turned and drove away.
After the three of them left, Yao Chen muttered, "Leave, count your good luck." "Those three people have been following him for a long time, and they didn't notice it at first, after all, there were too many people in the market, but after a long time, with the horror of Yao Chen's perception, where did they not appear.
"What are you talking about?" Dongfang Chenxi turned his head to look over, Yao Chen immediately picked up the crystal hair comb and said, "It's nothing...... Chenxi, you see, this crystal hair comb is not beautiful, and three hundred gold coins must be the most suitable for you to use. ”
"Yao Chen, look at that!" Dongfang Chenxi pointed to a candy stall and said in surprise, he still looked reserved when he first entered the market, but after half a year, under the influence of the brightly lit night market atmosphere, Dongfang Chenxi was also lively, no longer a powerful gold-level spiritual warrior, but an ordinary shopping girl.
"Draw candy...... Well, it's good-looking!" Yao Chen originally wanted to say what was so strange about painting candy, but when he saw Dongfang Chenxi's interest, he immediately changed his words.
Dongfang Chenxi stretched out her white hand, pulled Yao Chen's sleeve, and squeezed it happily.
"Chenxi, don't worry, look at me!" Yao Chen released his strength slightly, skillfully grasping, forming a wall of invisible force, and those children who were originally surrounding the candy stall were immediately squeezed out of a passage.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, don't squeeze!"
The group of children began to shout, and Yao Chen was taken to the candy painting master by Dongfang Chenxi.
The master who was painting candy was disturbed by the noise, raised his eyes and looked at Yao Chen and Dongfang Chenxi, it was not for nothing that there were such big customers, there was nothing unusual, and he lowered his head to paint. Dongfang Chenxi watched the old man hook up the sugar water with a spoon, and quickly sketched it on an ordinary jade slab, and soon, a basket of flowers appeared on top of each other. The candy master took out a bamboo stick, pressed it down on the flower basket, gently picked it up with an iron piece and put it aside, and waited for it to cool before picking it up.
"Can I turn it around?" Dongfang Chenxi pointed to the turntable next to the painting sugar master, on the turntable, all kinds of flowers and animals were evenly scattered around, the pointer turned, stop and point to something, and the painting sugar master will draw anything for you.
"Of course!" Yao Chen took out a gold coin and put it on the stall, "Come, let me introduce you to which is the most cost-effective to turn to." ”
Yao Chen still played with sugar many times when he was a child, so he naturally knows which patterns cost more sugar water and look beautiful. You must know that the pattern is one thing, and the painting is another, and different painting sugar masters have different complexity and simplicity of painting.
"Well, you know so much!" Dongfang Chenxi happily began to turn the bamboo pointer, a dozen times at a time, the sugar painter also began to look at it with interest, every time Dongfang Chenxi turned, the sugar painter wrote down a pattern. After the dawn of the east was over, the sugar master hooked up the sugar spoon and began to paint quickly, and after a while, more than a dozen sugar paintings were placed aside in an orderly manner.
"It's a pity that I didn't go to the best big golden dragon. Yao Chen looked at the dozen or so patterns and said regretfully.
"It's okay, I'm happy. Dongfang Chenxi looked back at Yao Chen, who was close to him as a protector, and smiled sweetly, "When I was a child, I saw painting candy and liked it very much, but I never had the opportunity to play, I regretted it for a long time, although I am no longer a child, but I am very happy to be able to fulfill my childhood dream in this foreign land." ”
"Well, if you have any other childhood dreams, tell me about them, and let's make them come true together. Yao Chen took the opportunity to say, he was a little amazed at how he could talk so much, and his heart began to become proud.
Yao Chen has always thought that he loves to practice knives the most, but now it seems that practicing knives is a kind of idiot, and in front of him, that is love!
The candy quickly cooled and formed, and when he left, Yao Chen generously took out a few gold coins and announced that he would invite all the children to paint candy, which immediately aroused the cheers of all the children.
There was such a scene in the Karaka Night Market, a pair of young men and women were leading, followed by eleven guards, a golden retriever tiger, and a black puppy......
Yao Chen and Dongfang Chenxi naturally enjoyed eating, the black boy directly held the painting candy and sprayed a hot stream to melt the candy water, the three-eyed tiger held the painting candy in his mouth for a moment, thinking about how to eat it, and finally the big tongue was rolled, along with the bamboo sticks, and it was gone. The most overwhelmed are the eleven strengthened guards, a large group of middle-aged men, fierce golden peak spiritualists, in the bustling night market, one person has a painting candy in his hand, licking it, not licking, it doesn't seem to be ......
"It's more lively ahead, what's the situation?" Yao Chen heard someone in front of him shouting something, and the voices were noisy, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.
"Childe, there was a slave trade in front of you. Niu Li had some insight and responded.
"Slave?" Yao Chen frowned, "Go and see." ”
This is the intersection of three streets, quite spacious to open up a small square, at this moment set up a wooden platform, on which are placed eight or nine iron cages, two big men on the platform with an orc, a middle-aged man with a mustache shouted loudly.
"Blackstone tribal traitor, bronze-level spirit warrior, strong body, excellent coolie, only three hundred gold coins!" said as he said, and the mustache also vigorously pulled the orc's muscles, showing that he was strong.
"Three hundred gold coins, beard, you lion speak! I'll give you two hundred!" a bald man scolded with a smile, "Sell it or not!"
"Hey, Captain Hu, what do you mercenary team want this stupid guy for? The bearded man ignored the bald head and looked at the compradors of the mine owners in the audience. There are many ore veins in the Western Regions, rich in resources, mines can be seen everywhere, mines are extremely profitable trade, they use slaves to mine, there is no penny of wages, you can feed some garbage, the cost is very low, but the minerals are sold for a lot of gold coins.
In mineral mining, it is very special that is, the mining of spirit stone mines, which is a profitable business, and it is impossible for ordinary people to interfere.
"Hey, you don't care what we do with it, you can sell it if you give money, hurry up!" The bald man didn't give up yet, "Two hundred and twenty!"
"Two hundred and fifty. "Finally there is a mine comprador bidding.
"Two hundred and sixty. "There was a comprador who shouted out the price.
Yao Chen looked at the strong orc on the stage, with green skin, small and pointed ears, and two exposed fangs, and remembered Zhan Ge.
"I used to just hear that there was a slave trade in the Western Regions, but now, it's really true!" Dongfang Chenxi frowned slightly, "How can human trafficking be allowed here, and it's also a powerful title-level spiritual warrior!, this is absolutely impossible in the Nine Great Empires!"
"Oriental girl, the Western Regions is different from the Empire, here is perennially facing the threat of the undead in the Western Plague Land, wars are frequent, and the major tribes are also fighting for years, the war is chaotic, and it is extremely turbulent, so the slave trade can be derived. Niu Li explained. Dongfang Chenxi glanced at Niu Li, shook his head and said, "I know that the Nine Great Empires are intervening in the Western Regions, and the root cause of the turmoil in the Western Regions is inseparable from the Nine Great Empires behind it. ”
"A turbulent Western Regions is the best situation for the Nine Great Empires. Yao Chen sighed. Dongfang Chenxi was silent for a while.
On the stage, the orc's eyes were full of hatred, and his hands and feet were imprisoned by thick iron chains, and he could only be at the mercy of others. Behind the orcs, there are several iron cages, all of which are imprisoned by the indigenous people of the Western Regions, most of whom are victims of tribal warfare, and among them are two elven women, although their skin is dark green, but they are slender and strong, and they can be sold for more money than male slaves.
"Three hundred and eighty! Is there any price increase?" Bazihu looked around and looked eagerly at the crowd, the higher the price of the slave, the higher his commission.
After three times in a row, the eight-character Hu knocked down the gavel and the transaction was completed.
"Take it down and send it to the comprador of the cold wind mine. The eight-character nonsense instructed the two thugs.
Yao Chen shook his head, feeling uninterested, and was about to leave with Dongfang Chenxi.
"Roar! Roar never falls!" the orc roared as he was about to be taken away, "You will all be corrupted by death!
