Chapter 24: Oil and Water in the Bone Residue
The half-grown children taken from the slums by the 'Diwei' were all turned into slaves.
The forehead is printed with the symbol of the 'Diwei' slave, and Li Yinguang holds the Diwei slave purchase agreement in his hand, which seems to be very formal, but it is a little chilling.
Xiaoman, her brother Scarface, and a child named 'Kuroko'.
She is a newsboy who distributes newspapers in the 'Mambach Town Tabloids', and the 'Mysterious Jewel' sewn on her heart has reminded Li Yinguang that this very gentleman-looking girl has dark blood in her body, and is the widow of the legendary 'Shadow Clan'.
'ShadowClan', the darling of the night, a born assassin.
This is the introduction of the Mystic Gem to ShadowClan.
The three children are not very old, Scarface is the oldest, only fifteen years old, Xiaoman is only eleven years old, and Kuroko is thirteen years old.
If it weren't for Li Yinguang's timely contact with Old Man Zhou, maybe this good-looking Xiaoman would have fallen into the hands of a certain little boss and been violated.
Raising his head from the 'slave contract book' in his hand, he looked at the three people who were languishing and pale a year ago, and sighed: "I really want to save all the children, but I don't have that ability!" ”
Raise your hand and hand them the 'Slave Contract'.
To be able to protect them, Li Yinguang has done his best. He's not necessarily a good guy, at least not so cold-blooded!
"If you want to leave, you can go, and if you don't want to leave, you can stay and work in the 'Kasbah' ironclad city or the 'Mambach town tabloid', and you will be paid every day."
Poof!
Kuroko knelt on one knee and looked firm: "Master! ”
There is a contract between slaves and slave owners, which is an active and passive relationship, and some people think that the 'contract book' is just a piece of paper, but in fact it is not, it is the basic rules of operation in the framework of this world.
The 'Contract' has a rule-based effect, just as there is 'alchemy' and other things in this world that cannot be understood scientifically.
Li Yinguang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't want your allegiance, you are free now, not my slaves!" ”
The girl named Kuroko has stubbornness in her eyes, although she doesn't look like a girl at all, more like a young man.
"But you've spent money!"
It was their fate to be captured by the 'Diwei', and it was also their fate to be bought by Li Yinguang. They live in the slums, and they all have a concept subtly.
There are no bad good people in this world, Li Yinguang spent money to buy them from the Diwei, and that is their master.
"Master!"
Scarface also got down on one knee.
The last is Xiaoman, her eyes are confused and a little afraid, she was arrested at night and bought back by Li Yinguang, and the whole process has frightened her.
"Okay!"
Li Yinguang smiled bitterly, he didn't say anything, the words of 'Heizi' said in his heart, yes, he spent money, he couldn't always be a bad person.
After noon, under the farewell of the lord of Manbach and the magnates of Manbach Town, the 'Diwei' left and headed north, they wanted to go through the 'Snowy Wasteland' to the 'Holy Dragon Snow Mountain' to hunt the frost dragon, as for when they will come back, will they pass through the town of Manbach again, and the son of a son will think about this.
"Master, the thousands of people who have been driven down from the 'Diwei' Iron Armored City will be auctioned off as slaves, and the time is set for tomorrow morning!"
The housekeeper Goda heard the gossip and ran back to report to Li Yinguang.
Li Yinguang sighed, it was really a dark age of cannibalism: "Didn't you say that those people were all abandoned by the 'Diwei'?" ”
The housekeeper Goda nodded: "That's right, but even the garbage abandoned by the 'Diwei', useless waste, are also people who have lived on the 'Diwei' ironclad city, they know some unknown things, these news, experiences, are worth a little money." ”
The waste from the super ironclad city of the 'Diwei' is still of some use value in the town of Manbach.
Therefore, all the usable value has to be 'squeezed' out, even if there is only a little oil and water left in the bone slag, you can't let it go!
Li Yinguang nodded thoughtfully: "Then let's go over tomorrow and have a look!" ”
After a slight pause, he changed the topic and asked, "Is Miss Kayali unhappy at the factory store directly under the Goblin Empire?" ”
Because of the visit of the 'Diwei', the date between the two did not go as scheduled.
"This time, I didn't see Miss Kayali herself, but I only saw the shopkeeper in the store, who said that he would help you transfer the gift to Miss Kayali!" Butler Goda said.
Li Yinguang was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Did Old Pol say where Miss Kayali went?" ”
The housekeeper Goda shook his head: "No explanation!" ”
The 'Goblin Empire' is a huge force, and all the goblin people on the land belong to this huge empire, and under normal circumstances, few people will touch them.
So, Kayali shouldn't be in any danger.
Don't underestimate the weak body of the 'goblin clan', the combat effectiveness of the people is not low.
"The newspaper sent someone over there to ask when the next issue of the newspaper will be published and printed." The official Gorda shifted the subject to the 'Mambache tabloids'.
Li Yinguang thought for a while and asked, "Do you think it is appropriate to continue to publish the 'Mambach Town Tabloid Newspaper' now?" ”
The slums and the slums have just been ransacked, and the rest of the people are not sure to get over the horror.
"Master, the people with the most purchasing power in Mambach Town, since they are not the slums in the slums, nor the ordinary people in ordinary residential areas, but the powerful people who have some spare money, and the explorers and adventurers who survive by hunting, bounty, and scavenging."
The butler Goda meant to tell Li Yinguang that the 'Diwei' Iron City did not have much impact on the consumer class in Manbach Town.
And the 'Mambach town tabloid' is not a newspaper for the poor, commoners and other lower classes.
"Is the sample out?"
Li Yinguang sighed inwardly, he knew that some of his concepts had not yet changed, and those information concepts were not completely suitable for this dark steampunk world.
"It's out, and Zhiboge has also negotiated a few advertising business orders!" Butler Goda said with a smile.
"Order?"
Li Yinguang's eyes lit up: "How many?" ”
"One company ordered three half-page supplements, and four bought half-page supplements, so there were two supplements in this issue of the 'Mambach Town Tablids' alone, and four sponsor advertising spaces were sold!" ”
Each supplement of the 'Mambach Town Tabloid' can probably earn one or two hundred silver bull coins, which is not bad, at least it will not lose money!
"This Zhibai Pavilion is quite capable, bring it back and let me see it!" Li Yinguang nodded.
The butler Goda said respectfully: "Okay! ”
