Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 2 The Slave Market
Chris didn't speak, but shook his head. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info He walked a little aimlessly towards the lively street, which was mostly shopkeepers, and the only slave market was at the end. At the same time, this is also the most chaotic place in the whole town of Kib, where there are irascible mercenaries and the most humble slaves, as well as buyers with their own intentions, and the darkest side of human nature is in full view here, so it is also the most prone to conflict. Taimi thought in his heart, wanted to dissuade but didn't dare, so he could only pray and follow closely.
In fact, there was no fixed place in the slave market, it was just a huge tent connected one after another, and in the center was a huge wooden platform, surrounded by a sea of people who were crowding around and commenting on the slaves on the platform.
At this time, there was a row of slaves standing on the stage, both men and women, many of whom were aristocratic runaways or escaped criminals, most of them were ragged and haggard-looking, and without exception, they all wore forbidden rings on their hands, which could restrain the fighting spirit of the warrior or the magic of the magician, so as to ensure the safety of the buyer----- if there were any, the slave trader was agitating with an incorruptible tongue: "Look at these ....." He stretched out his hand and smacked a few times on the bodies of several of the slaves, "The body is strong, the strength is infinite, although he is not a warrior, but he is definitely a good hand at work, look at this again," he pulled a girl among the slaves, "This, I don't need to say more, everyone can see it, the flower and moon appearance, the body is first-class, it is definitely the best choice for warming the bed...... The reserve price is one hundred gold coins..."
Someone immediately answered: "One hundred and ten gold coins!"
There are many people who are obviously moved: "One hundred and thirty gold coins!"
This slave girl is indeed beautiful, no more than sixteen years old, the most rare thing is that she is not like other slaves with a face of resignation as if numb, and lifeless, she stands on the stage with her hands folded, hanging in front of her, her feet cling, trying her best to straighten her shoulders, her eyes are level, Chrissy frowned, there is probably a little score in her heart, this slave girl is by no means an ordinary commoner, from her demeanor, it can be known that she must have received quite strict training in aristocratic etiquette, especially when she stands with her chin slightly retracted, this is the standard demeanor of a noble maid------ chin is too high to appear uneducated, too low to appear groveling,
If the slave trader knew the origin of the slave girl, then the reason for this is intriguing.
For it was evident that a maid so well trained, even if a nobleman did not want it, would not be casually sold to a brutal slave trader.
At this time, the slave trader grabbed the slave girl's arm and showed the people in the audience: "Look at it, what delicate skin, what a healthy color..... As if to enhance his persuasiveness, he tore off the clothes on the slave girl's chest with a "sneer", and immediately revealed a large area of snow white, which caused a large cheer and lewd laughter in the audience.
The slave girl covered her chest, wept with shame, opened her mouth, and spat at the slave trader, which landed in the face of the slave trader, who was annoyed and raised her hand.
Chris frowned, this slave trader also didn't know what to do, seeing that this slave girl would be bought, but he still wanted to beat her, whether it was anyone who couldn't look past her or someone who wanted to buy her, he would never want to see such a scene.
The slave trader's hand had not yet fallen, and the white light flashed, and his palm had already fallen on the stage, as if he was still stunned for a moment, and then he held his bloody hand and howled.
When people saw the blood, they were in chaos, and the screams sounded one after another, and almost immediately they became a mess, desperately running out, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while.
Nader stood in front of Chris and Taimi, although he was alone, but no one could push him, as a unique level 8 warrior in Kibu Town, the flow of people in front of him was just a joke to him, so Chris was very relieved to look at the place where the white light was shining at the beginning.
It is certain that the white light is a third-level magic "icicle technique", at that time, the icicle shot off the slave trader's hand and shot backwards for a distance, with Chris's eyesight, he could only see a little afterglow, such power, the caster was definitely not just a third-level magician. Of course, the possibility that the caster is wearing a booster that enhances magic must be ruled out.
The spellcaster was a man wearing a pale blue mage's robe, the hood on the robe covered his face low, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and when the crowd was chaotic, he had already begun to move towards the stage, and there were four or five people around him to escort him forward, probably his bodyguards or something.
As soon as "he" moved, Chris could see that this was a woman, especially when she jumped on the wooden platform. Should he stop her? He didn't like the slave trader, but it was his father's domain.
Just as he was hesitating, the sound of horses' hooves was already sounding not far away, and the city guards had arrived.
At this time, the people around him had run out, and thirty knights riding tall horses rushed to the front of the stage, and the knights at the head shouted an order, and the knights on the rest of the horses stopped drinking in an instant, and Chris recognized the knight at the head as his father's fierce general, called Hanks, a sixth-level warrior, and a rare senior general in the military camp.
As soon as Hanks stopped his horse, he found Chris, after all, there were only three Kriss in the audience at this time, Hanks held a sword in his right hand, raised his eyebrows, and bent down slightly: "Dear Young Master Kris, Hanks salutes you!" The rest of the knights also saluted.
Chrissy smiled bitterly, for he found himself in an awkward situation, and he looked towards the stage, and sure enough, the five people on the stage, led by the woman who covered her face with a hood, had killed several of the slave traders' guards and let the rest of the slaves go, and the woman was holding the slave girl and whispering comfort.
When the Guards arrived, the woman looked up, and Chris couldn't see her face clearly, but he could still feel her eyes fall from the Guards to his own.
Hanks looked at the woman in the stands, looked at Chris with an inquiring gaze, and when he saw that Chris shook his head slightly, he drove his horse to the front of the stage and shouted, "Put down your weapons and follow me to the city guard!"
Nader escorted Chris to the side, Chris stepped back, his eyes still looking at the stage, and sure enough, the woman seemed to glare at him fiercely under the hood, whispered something, and pulled the slave girl back, and the guards around her met Hanks.
The guard in front stepped forward, holding the sword in one hand, raised his right hand up, raised the sword in front of his eyebrows, and like a salute, took a deep breath and shouted, his body shining with a pale yellow light, while the rest of the guards escorted the woman backwards as he moved forward.
Nader, who was guarding in front of Chris, changed his face and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The level of warriors on the Tianlan Continent can be seen through the color of the fighting qi, from one to three levels, the color of the fighting qi is white, and when the fighting qi is four to seven levels, the fighting qi will change to yellow, like the color of the fighting qi of the guard in front of him, the color is yellow, but there is a faint trend of developing towards dark yellow, it can be seen that he is between the seventh and eighth level warriors, and may even be upgraded to an eighth-level senior warrior at any time.
Hanks's eyes also changed, he reined in his horse hard, and shouted to his subordinates to disperse, but at this time, the distance between him and the guard was less than twenty meters, and Nader wanted to flash between Hanks and the guard, but no matter what the seventh-level warrior had to do, I was afraid it would be too late. What's more, Nader and Hanks could see from his gestures that the move he wanted to send out was the only long-range move that could only be mastered by a seventh-level warrior: "Sword Qi", with the strength of a seventh-level warrior's fighting spirit, the sword qi could reach more than thirty meters, not to mention the speed of the sword qi, if he was allowed to send it, I am afraid that Hanks, who was facing him, and the people who followed closely behind him would all be injured, and the lower-level warriors might die.
I saw the guard raise the heavy sword in his hand, and the yellow light on the heavy sword became more and more intense, almost to the point of dazzling, and then with a swing of the sword, a yellow light slashed straight towards Hanks.
Almost didn't have time to react, the sword qi and slashed in front of Hanks, at this time, Hanks only had time to carry the fighting qi of his whole body on the armor of his body, as if there was an extra layer of golden armor, and Nader had not yet come to the front.
But at this moment, an earthen wall suddenly floated in front of Hanks, and the sword qi slammed into the earthen wall, splashing earth and stones, but the sword qi disappeared unexpectedly. Then, the earthen wall also dissolved into the elements and spread out.
Everyone stayed where they were, how could it be? A second-level magic could block a seventh-level sword qi?
Hanks and Nader rushed to the front to look at the place where the earthen wall and sword qi had disappeared, then looked back at one of the military mages who sent out the earthen wall, and finally looked at the guard who emitted the sword qi.
The guard looked at everyone calmly, his heavy sword hanging diagonally beside him, and said, "We have no intention of hurting anyone!"
That was enough, and Hanks looked at Nader in embarrassment, and finally turned his gaze to Chris, who was the only one who could make up his mind on the spot. After all, he is the son of a lord, and although he has no official or lord, Count Darnell can't even blame his own son if there is an incident.
