"Boss?!Why does such a big official appear here alone?!" Ouyang Taxue asked.

Jue looked at her, and then said, "What is the chaos of Bannanguo now, you slave should be clear." ”

"You are going to ...... Politics?!"

"It's smart, yes, we're just going to do politics. ”

"But...... Why didn't you bring an entourage?If a high-ranking official of the dragon clan were to come here, he should greet the visiting country first, and then greet the visiting country......"

Just as Ouyang Taxue was speaking, Jue gently put his finger on her lips, "I know." ”

Ouyang Taxue stopped suddenly, she understood what Jue meant-my dignified senior official of the Dragon Clan still uses you, a little girl, to point fingers?

"As for me, I came alone to investigate the national conditions of the southern country. I don't think the bureaucrats will tell me the real state of the country when they learn I'm coming. I don't believe in the Terrans. ”

"So...... Why did you choose me?" asked Ouyang Taxue.

Jue smiled wickedly after hearing this, and said, "Because you have what I want." ”

"What do you want? But I'm just a slave, I don't have any assets from before, and my family has abandoned me, so you won't get anything out of my family. Could it be ......?"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in women right now, so you can rest assured of your chastity. In order to prevent you from misunderstanding, I would like to state in advance, as long as you listen to me honestly, when I use up your value, you can return to freedom, and I don't care what you want to do then, and I will also give you a sum of money so that you can live well in the second half of your life. ”

"It's really ?......" Ouyang Taxue looked at Jue dumbfounded.

"Well, really. Of course, as long as you don't get in my way...... The specific time is probably after I finish dealing with the affairs of the southern country, so you should follow me during this time. ”

"Understood...... Lord, Lord ......"

Jue looked at Ouyang Taxue with a not too bad expression, and then touched her hair on her head without gentleness.

"Sleep first, I'll keep vigil tonight. ”

"Eh, shouldn't this kind of work be done by people like us?"

"Listen, although I don't treat slaves as human beings, but I don't like slavery myself, as the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, so I won't pity you, but my purpose is to uphold absolute egalitarianism, and nothing in front of me is treated equally, so tonight I keep vigil, and tomorrow night it will be you, understand?"

"Ah...... Understood......" Ouyang Taxue nodded stunned.

What a contradictory person......

At night, Jue looked at the flickering flames, and he looked at Ouyang Taxue, who was asleep with a knife tightly in his hand.

(If you're trying to protect the forbidden host, you're going too far.) The Shadow asked.

(yes, I think so, too, but there's always a feeling of empathy...... ）

(Remembered your old days?)

（...... Ah, I think that's how I used to be...... Not to be seen as a human being, to be spurned by others, to be insecure, not to trust anyone...... Jue looked at Ouyang Treading Snow.

He seemed to see that it was not Ouyang Taxue lying there, but a silver-haired child about ten years old.

The child was wounded all over his body, his clothes were in tatters, and he had nothing to cover at night, so he had to curl up to reduce the loss of heat.

The child held a sharp wooden cone with a blood-soaked front section. He shivered in the cold night, exhaling gases about the same temperature as the outside world.

(It's like that.) Shadows surrounded Ouyang Taxue and said.

Jue simply nodded in approval.

(But this kid is much luckier than you, at least she's in a better place.) ）

(yes, a little jealous...... ）

(So, do you have a way to extract the forbidden from the child?)

After listening to the Shadow's question, Jue smiled slightly.

(Please, this forbidden was created by my own hands, how can I not know how to take out this thing?) Since the forbidden is lodged in Ouyang Taxue's body, then I can use the nature of the forbidden to extract it.) ）

(interesting...... Okay, I hope you can bring the ban forward...... ）

Forbidden, this powerful magic weapon that is powerful enough to be honored as a transgressor magic weapon is made by Jue himself. The design of the shape, the connection of the internal circuit, the choice of materials...... All of this is constructed by Jue's own hands!

The power of the forbidden race is not trivial, and if used properly, it can give ordinary Terrans the power to fight against the royal race.

I don't know if it's useful for me...... Jue looked at Ouyang Taxue and said.

(It's amazing.) ）

(Why are you here again?) ）

(Strange, isn't it?) Shadow whispered, "Obviously a human race, but he has a look and body that can rival that of the royal race. ）

(Indeed, this level of appearance is quite rare among the Terrans.) Of all the Terrans I've seen, the most recent ones to see this level of appearance are Axia and her...... ）

(How's it going?)

(I'm tempted by your size.) Jue said, (I don't want too many people to be involved around me, that's not fair to them.) ）

(They volunteered anyway, so what do you have to feel guilty about?)

(I can't repay them, but I still have to impose pain and tragedy on them...... ）

(You lost, you recognized your guilt.) The Shadow snapped.

Jue was stunned after listening to the shadow's words. Yes, Jue would feel guilty about some things.

(You're a creature after all...... After all, your emotions are due to primitive judgment. It seems that the power of the Abyss Mask has simply distorted your personality, and the deepest things in your body have not been changed. ）

(Is it all done?) Jue issued an eviction order.

He didn't hate the Shadow, but the Shadow was able to tell the heart every time.

The long night passed, and Ouyang Taxue woke up.

She saw that Jue had already prepared the food.

"Lord?" Ouyang Taxue was sleepy-eyed.

"Hurry up, and then we're on our way. ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you......" Ouyang Taxue said.

When the meal was almost finished, Ouyang Taxue asked, "Lord, what are you going to do today?"

"Hmm...... Today's words are going to the capital of Bannanguo, but we are in the suburbs now, so we can't see it...... Well, maybe I'm going to meet the head of the southern country. ”

"See the top of the country?" said Ouyang Taxue, but she looked a little worried.

Although Jue noticed this, he didn't care too much.

Ouyang Taxue's general life experience had already been told to Jue, so Jue understood why Ouyang Taxue had such an expression.

Her family betrayed her. But if you enter the national capital, you will definitely meet your family members who are discussing politics there, and it will be embarrassing to see them.

After eating, Ouyang Taxue packed up his things.

What surprised Jue was that she was obviously born in the aristocracy, but Ouyang Taxue did not have the squeamishness of the eldest lady, but worked hard like an ordinary peasant girl.

Out of curiosity, Jue asked Ouyang Taxue about her daily life, but Ouyang Taxue didn't say much, but simply fooled her with "I didn't live like other nobles on weekdays".

After a long journey in the morning, Jue and Ouyang Taxue finally came to a populated place.

"Hmm...... Is this an extension of the royal capital?" Ouyang Taxue looked around and said.

Jue shook his head, then took the map and said, "It should be, because when we entered the country, we were walking in the wilderness, so we entered the royal capital without passing through the pass." ”

"Sounds like a smuggler......"

"Huh?"

"Ahh

Jue looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he said, "After so many days of picnics, let's also eat some food made by others." ”

With that, Jue urged the horse forward and took Ouyang Taxue to a small restaurant.

There aren't too many people in the restaurant, but the people who can eat here look like they're very rich.

"You go and order the food. Jue said to Ouyang Taxue.

"Well, me, but is that okay? I'm obviously your slave, if I order something expensive......

"What do you do with all this? Just order it, ah, and get the restaurateur to come over. Jue said.

"Ah, I see......"

Although he was confused, Ouyang Taxue still complied.

Out of respect for Jue, Ouyang Taxue did not order too expensive dishes.

During the meal, Jue asked Ouyang Taxue to eat by himself, but he kept talking to the owner.

"So...... Are the rich people who can eat again now?" Jue asked.

The shopkeeper nodded: "So to speak." ”

"So," Jue drew a circle around the dining table with his hand, "how much does this meal cost?"

“...... I guess it's a silver and a gold coin. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ouyang Taxue choked suddenly.

When Jue saw Ouyang Taxue like this, he handed her the water, "Don't worry, no one will rob you." ”

Ouyang Taxue looked at Jue dumbfounded, and then Mu Mu said, "Lord, this meal...... Is it so expensive?!"

Jue looked incredulous and said, "Otherwise, aren't the prices so expensive now? You don't have to worry, just keep eating." ”

Ouyang Taxue nodded vaguely.

At this moment, the people in the back kitchen suddenly jumped out.

"Oh no! Someone has robbed our warehouse!"

As soon as he heard this, the boss suddenly stood up from Jue's side, apologized, and ran away.

Jue watched with interest from behind.

Oh, isn't it time to rob the money now? It's time to grab the materials? It's really interesting. ...... Check it out.

Jue stood up and followed the panicked boss over, leaving the overwhelmed Ouyang Taxue and the customers.

Jue followed the boss to the warehouse and found some people carrying food into the car.

"What are you doing?!" the boss panicked.

was yelled at by the boss like this, and the robbers were also panicked, and the two groups of people looked at each other for a while.

Then the robbers took out their knives.

"We're going to get some food here! It won't hurt you!

"Don't!" the boss raised his hand in fright, but his mouth was still saying this, "We still need this food!"

"Shut up, if you want to live, hand over all the things you have left!" and you!" the robber took the knife to Jue's side again.

"Oh, and me!" Jue smiled, and then he took out the lizard skin and said, "This is my thing, don't hurt me." Ah, can I ask some questions if that's okay?"

"What do you want to ask?" asked the robber at the beginning.

"Why don't you want money?"

"Money?!There's a fart!I can't buy anything!" said the robbers, sighing fiercely.

Just then, someone came over.

"Lord, you didn't say you wanted me to follow you...... Huh?" Ouyang Taxue ran over by himself.

"Oh, I didn't give any orders, you just stay over there. Jue said.

While Jue was talking, the robber suddenly rushed over and grabbed Ouyang Taxue's arm.

"What a pretty chick! ”

"yes, let's give us this too. ”

After listening to the robber's words, Jue tilted his head, "If you take her away, I will be very troubled." ”

"Less nonsense, do you want to die or do you want a woman?"

"......" Jue was silent for a while, and he glanced at the shopkeeper on the side.

In Jue's opinion, if the shopkeeper can complete the instructions with Jue's cooperation, it will not be a problem for Ouyang to step on the snow, and the shopkeeper should also know this very well.

But the shopkeeper deftly looked to the side.

Don't you want to save it? Jue thought as he looked at the shopkeeper's reaction.

But Ouyang Taxue looked at Jue pitifully like a lamb to the slaughter.

Although the robbers put the knife against Ouyang Taxue's neck, Jue still slowly walked in front of Ouyang Taxue, and took out the knife that Ouyang Taxue hid from her body and put it in her hand.

"Give you a chance, kill the people behind you, or you know the consequences. After saying that, Jue took a few steps back.

When Ouyang Taxue saw Jue's attitude, he shook his hands and looked at the knife with a pale face.

Jue smiled slightly, and then said to the robbers behind Ouyang Taxue: "Please wait a little longer, she will make her own decision later, maybe you will die." ”

Hearing Jue say this, the robbers were also stunned for a while.

After half a sound, the robbers understood Jue's meaning, so they tried in vain to move their hands and feet against Ouyang Treadxue.

Although Ouyang Taxue felt frightened and shrank up, she still didn't dare to stab the knife in her hand at the robber behind her.

But it was Ouyang Taxue's attitude that made the robbers more and more reckless.

"Hurry up, make a decision. Jue said ill-intentionedly on the side.

At this moment, Ouyang Taxue finally understood that Jue didn't want to care about her at all, so he swung his knife and tried to hurt the robber.

But the knife only scratched the robber's hand and did not inflict fatal wounds.

"Damn!!" The robber was furious and wanted to hit Ouyang Treadxue.

But at this time, I saw Jue rushing towards the robber with an arrow, and then held the robber's arm with one hand, and broke the robber's hand violently.

Then, Ouyang Taxue was pulled back by Jue amid the robber's screams.

"Now, you can get out. Jue still said it with a smile, but his smile was so terrifying.

After seeing Jue's combat effectiveness, the robbers fled with a crawl.

"It seems that you are still a malleable talent, come, let me teach you well. Jue said and took Ouyang Taxue back.

Ouyang Taxue didn't know what to say for a while, but she saw something like a shadow fly out of Jue's body and fly towards the place where the robber went.

Since Jue helped the store this time, the owner didn't ask Jue for food.

On the way, Ouyang Taxue didn't say much.

"We're almost to the royal city, huh...... If you bring something, you should have ......" Jue checked his bags, but at this time he saw Ouyang stepping on the snow.

"You look a little distressed, what's the matter?" Jue asked.

"Lord...... Do you think I'm a dispensable thing?" asked Ouyang Taxue.

"No," Jue heard the mystery in her words, "I just want to test you...... Have you ever killed someone?"

"Killing? why?" asked Ouyang Taxue.

"Aren't you, then you don't feel resentment against the world?"

"Some, but not to the point of killing. ”

"That's right......" Jue sighed slightly.

After Jue and Ouyang Taxue walked through the streets and alleys that could be said to be lifeless, they came to the gate of the imperial city.

Jue handed the token in his hand to the guard.

The guards saluted after seeing the sound for a while, and then asked their companions to go back and inform the higher-ups.

Jue and Ouyang Taxue waited in a room.

During this period, Jue took a brief look at the layout of the room and found that the decoration of the room here was okay, and it was already good that the human race could arrange the room like this with the ability of the human race.

But what made a supposedly powerful dynasty make such a stupid move?

"Lord Si Jue of the Dragon Clan, is he?" After a while, a man who looked like a steward came out. "I'm Sun Shang, the councilor of Bannanguo. ”

"Ah, it's me. I'm Jue. Jue stood up and shook hands with the comer.

Sun Shang tilted his head and looked at Ouyang Taxue behind Jue.

"This is ......"

"It was my entourage, and it can be assumed that I brought it from a public tour. Jue smiled.

"Aha," Sun Shang smiled weakly, "There's nothing to do here now......"

"Nothing, coming to the palace itself is tourism. Jue said funny.

"You're so interesting. Please go here, the Prime Minister is waiting for you. ”

"Labor leads the way. You can keep up with it. Jue turned back to Ouyang Taxue and said.

"Yes......"

After actually entering the palace, Jue estimated the original national strength of Bannan in his heart.

"How much is the state's administrative fund now?"

"It's not much, the innocence is too serious, and it is beyond the acceptable range. ”

"Is that so?"

Jue replied casually.

But there must be people in this country who understand, and even then they still did not sell the contents of the palace? Also, in the case of the general "over-enrichment" of the people of the country, what should be done is to preserve the materials, not to rush to collect money.

"It's here. Sun Shang stood in front of a door and said, "The Prime Minister is waiting for you here." ”

After speaking, Sun Shang knocked on the door.

"Enter. There was a voice from inside the door.

Sun Shang pushed open the door, and then bowed Jue and left.

Jue walked into the room and saw someone sitting on a large leather seat.

The man was dressed in a white suit, holding a goblet and sipping red wine. However, this man did not look healthy, very thin, and looked quite weak.

"You're the official sent by the Dragons?" the man asked.

"Yes. ”

After listening to Jue's answer, the man put on a very unhappy expression.

"Ah~ Those scaly things really sent the magistrates...... Even if you are capable, don't interfere with other people's countries casually, and live together peacefully. The man said, covering his head.

"You don't seem to like me very much. Jue said.

"It's not that I don't like you, but I hate all the officials......" The man looked at Jue, but he saw Ouyang Taxue behind Jue again.

"Oh~ This chick is good. The man kept staring at Ouyang Taxue, his eyes full of desire. He looked Ouyang Treadxue up and down several times, giving people the feeling of "even if you really can't move, I will rape you with my eyes".

"You don't think you have introduced yourself yet. Jue asked the man after seeing Ouyang Taxue leaning towards him in fear.

"Oh, I forgot. The man put down his glass, then stood up and tamped his clothes a little, and said, "I am the Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom, Mordreman Cohen Shivaya, and you can call me Cohen." ”
