......

The whole city of Austin just after night, the lights are on, there is no hustle and bustle of the day, only a cool breeze, and pedestrians under the street lamps.

The restaurant Ye Xiao chose is located in the middle of Austin City. It has a row of lush plane trees in front of its door, and the wind blows the plane leaves, making this restaurant elegant and poetic.

Pushing open the door, there is a luxuriously styled and bright hall. On the ceiling, the gorgeous crystal chandeliers cast a faint light, making the whole restaurant appear elegant and quiet.

Gorgeous European-style tables and chairs, small and delicate bars, polite waiters, quiet guests, whispering and laughing from time to time, the environment is quiet and beautiful.

In this restaurant, there is a white porcelain vase on each table, and in the vase, pink roses are in full bloom softly, bursting with fragrance, not strong or demonic, but if there is nothing floating, it is imperceptibly changing the complex mood of customers.

It's a great place for couples to date, but there are still two people, or one person and one elf, and their inner atmosphere is obviously not in harmony with this elegant environment.

Ye Xiao and the elf princess Ilya are both wearing very formal clothes, and they are also elegantly enjoying the exquisite meal in front of them, in the eyes of outsiders, these two young people are simply a match made in heaven, but the disharmony is that they just sat quietly opposite each other from beginning to end, and never said a word.

The candle flame on the dining table flickered slightly, reflecting Ilya's beautiful and stubborn face, which looked a little lonely.

The elf clan has experienced ten thousand years of prosperity, and finally reached the point of shaking and slipping, as the princess of the elf clan, how much helplessness and helplessness can she say in her heart?

After a long time like this, it wasn't until Ye Xiao finished eating the food in front of him that Ilya slowly raised her face and said the first sentence: "Ye Xiao, I think our dinner this time can be over." ”

So he got up and walked out. Ye Xiao didn't respond. Instead, he wiped his lips with a napkin, and it wasn't until Ilya walked around the table and past him that he said, "Wait." ”

"Huh?" Ilya turned her face in confusion. looked at Ye Xiao: "What else do you have to do?" The request I promised you before has been completed. ”

"Ilya. Ye Xiao put down the napkin, sat in place, and said lightly: "I think we should talk about serious things calmly." ”

I don't know if it's the environment. Ilya felt that Ye Xiao at this time did seem to be more honest than usual.

"Okay. Ilya simply sat back down, deciding to give the man in front of her a few more minutes to figure it out.

"Make an alliance with me. Ye Xiao said lightly.

"What did you say?" Ilya was slightly stunned, her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and she didn't dare to wonder if she had heard it wrong.

But then after making sure that it was correct, Ilya's stunning face couldn't help but feel a little angry, "What are you kidding, elves don't ally with their enemies!"

The tragedy of the elf being slaughtered by insects and beasts in the Hagel Forest is still a pain in her heart.

"Enemy, then why do you elves form an alliance with humans?" Ye Xiao's question was simple and direct, but to the point.

"We ......," Ilya wanted to speak. I was suffocated again. Yes, the alliance with humans is also because the elves have been defeated, and humans are also enemies.

She didn't understand the current situation of the elves, it was precisely because the elves were gentle by nature and loved comfort, which led to the slow progress of their own strength, and the reproduction generation of the race was extremely long, so that the human race took the opportunity to break the balance of the race and surpass it in one fell swoop.

Isn't what she wants to do at this moment is to make the elf grow stronger again? But in front of her, Ye Xiao, the insect emperor who doesn't know where he came from. Is it worthy of your trust?

"Don't you still understand that forming an alliance with humans is seeking skin with tigers?" Ye Xiao's eyes were tightly locked on Elijah's face, and the other party was silent and did not speak, but all the changes in his face were captured by him.

He thought to himself that instead of tilting the powerful forces of the elves on the side of the humans, he should draw them to his side.

There can be a powerful force such as elves as allies. Trade and exchange resources with elves will definitely make a leap forward in the development of their strength.

"You don't have to reply in a hurry, come with me to a place, and you will naturally understand the truth about these human beings. Ye Xiao said that, then stood up and walked out.

"Where are you taking me?" asked Ilya, somewhat wary.

"Come with me or not. ”

Ilya hesitated slightly. In the end, he followed Ye Xiao out of the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, Ye Xiao's three servants had already prepared the carriage and waited for a long time.

The border of Austin Demon Martial Arts Academy borders Doan, the imperial capital of Ismanton, which is not too far, and it can be reached in two or three hours if you travel all the way.

Ilya was a little apprehensive in her heart, she didn't know how to trust the man next to her, in short, she wanted to know the so-called truth in his mouth.

So there was nothing to say all the way, and when the carriage galloped to the imperial capital of Duo'an, it was already moontop in the treetops, but the night life of the imperial capital had just begun.

The lights here are bright, prosperous, and there is a night market on the street, and human beings are talking and laughing, a peaceful and peaceful scene.

However, every city has its most decaying place, which is often referred to as the black market, and this is exactly the place where Ye Xiao wants to take Ilya to go.

Ye Xiao put on a big hood for Ilya, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble with her stunning countenance, and this place was difficult for outsiders to enter.

The rules of the black market are particularly obvious in the emperor, first of all, you have to be a nobleman, and in addition, you have to be rich, otherwise the noble people of the imperial capital will not take you to play at all.

Ye Xiao showed his aristocratic status at the entrance of this underground trading market with a huge area, and after exchanging 100 gold coins for trading chips, he walked through the ordinary daily trading area on the upper floor under the guidance of an attendant, and finally walked into the underground auction hall at the core of this market.

Every night here, there is a grand slave trading event, and Ye Xiao and the others arrived at the right time.

Ye Xiao took Ilya and the three servants and walked down the steps of the venue.

At this time, the underground venue, which was spacious enough to accommodate a thousand people, was already crowded with all kinds of aristocratic and wealthy merchants, and everywhere was noisy shouting and filthy evaluations.

The air was filled with the musty smell of **, as well as the smell of tobacco mixed with sweat, which made Ilya frown tightly. Although she had looked up the description of the black market in books, it was the first time she had actually come to such a dirty place.

A haze hung over her like a mist, making her feel extremely disgusted with this place.

Ye Xiao didn't give her much time to get used to it. Instead, he led her through the crowd and came directly to the front of the bidding team.

Ilya looked up, just glanced at the auction table, and the blood in her body was congealing almost instantly.

I saw rows of female elves and male elves, stripped naked. They looked wooden, naked ~ naked ~ and their bodies were chained, and they were led like cattle in front of a fat head and big ears with a shiny face, let them knead and play with them, and then open the price to buy and sell.

Among them, there was even an obese middle-aged man, in order to better inspect the goods, he couldn't wait to bring a new elf girl who looked like she was no more than ten years old, and pressed directly on the auction table. Then he unbuckled his trousers and crouched behind the elven girl.

The fat man's wriggling, greedy and heavy, the elf girl cried miserably, her body was very thin, under the fat man, like a flat boat in a storm, there was a possibility of being crushed at any time.

"No, no......" Tears instantly welled up in Ilya's eyes, and her heart ached like a knife. A rage that had never been felt before, like a fire that burned through the forest, burned in her heart.

However, on the side, a tragedy that was even more unbearable for her was staged.

On the auction table on the other side. A female elf who was stuffed with an anus ~ plug with a tail, wearing a collar around her neck, like an animal, walking on the ground, obediently learned the movements of some animals under the whip of a bidder. Around the auction table, trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful people on the sidelines.

They are all under inhuman torture, destroying their minds, and it is a tragedy that completely annihilates their nature.

They no longer have a living soul, but a shell for the rich and powerful to have fun and enjoy.

Of course, there are also elves who have just been captured and are still trying to resist, and usually these rebellious elves are greeted with more brutal beatings and more terrible torture.

If you are unfortunate enough to die, you will usually be discarded like garbage. The smell of ** in the air comes from a huge "garbage can" in the corner.

Seeing this, Ilya burst into tears, and the anger in her heart was hot, like a soldering iron, constantly burning her soul.

She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and tried desperately to restrain her emotions. Her fists were pinched until they turned white, and even her lips were bitten out with blood.

Several times, when she heard the elves' miserable wails, she was eager to rush out and kill all these filthy humans!

But she can't, she can't...... Every uncontrollable impulse was finally forcibly suppressed under the heavy shackles in her heart.

It was so painful for her that she couldn't face all of it.

"Why don't you save your people?" Ye Xiao's cold voice slowly came from her ears.

"Because I'm a princess, I can't provoke a war between humans and elves. Ilya struggled to squeeze out a few words, and tears couldn't stop dripping down.

"Should that princess be indifferent to the torture of her own people?" Ye Xiao unabashedly poked the pain in Ilya's heart.

Ilya couldn't bear this torture anymore, and when she turned around, she wanted to run out, but Ye Xiao grabbed Hao's wrist.

"Since you can't, let me give you a gift. Ye Xiao's eyes showed a touch of coldness, and he said in a low voice: "Qinglong, do it!" (To be continued.) )
