Chapter 90: Book Leakage, Zerrikan Slave Girl [Seeking Pursuit II.]

Rebecca's voice is heard.

Chen Xuan gathered his thoughts and looked at the street in front of him.

It's not so much a street as a market.

Almost every vacant lot as far as the eye can see is occupied by a variety of stalls.

Garrisons in light armor and halberds patrol the streets and beyond.

To set up a stall here, you only need to pay a certain fee to the state city, and there is no strict entry threshold.

Compared to the big trading houses, the Crooked Bone Market is more popular with adventurers.

Many of the people who come to this stall are adventurers themselves.

This feature reminded Chen Xuan of the flea market.

Due to the low threshold for stalls, and the different origins of the goods sold.

Among them, there are many unidentified items from ancient ruins.

This has made it a famous place of "Taobao" in Magdan City.

Most of the people who linger here are shy guys.

As far as the eye can see, you can see hordes of halflings, dwarves drinking spirits, lizardmen with lizard heads covered in scales, and even Dax lobster people from the distant Swamp Ocean...

The lobster people were two meters tall and looked like they were all big lobsters walking upright.

It's just that their pincers are more flexible, and the tail has become a form suitable for moving on land.

It is rare to see such an ethnic group living in the swamps and the ocean in the city of Magdam.

But these lobsters do belong to a multi-ethnic alliance.

Chen Xuan's first thought when he saw these guys was whether their meat could be eaten...

In addition to "Taobao", all kinds of materials, magic scrolls, weapons and armor and other items sold here are also cheaper than those of the trading houses.

Of course, if you want to gain something in the crooked bones street, you must have a smart mind and a shrewd eye.

This is also the reason why Chen Xuan and the little cat lady came from the West District.

The effect of the [Insight] ability can help him overcome obstacles here!

When you enter the market, you feel like you've stepped into another world.

The ears were filled with shouting, insulting, and bargaining.

The air is muddy and smelly, and you can smell all the stench you can imagine here.

After a casual glance, most of the stalls in the entrance area are still dominated by monster materials.

There are all kinds of strange fur, claws, and bones.

There's even a stall with a long list of sun-dried goblin X-weapons.

It is said that if you stew these ghosts and eat them, you will get the exuberant lust and physical strength comparable to that of a goblin.

A few highland brutes with straw skirts around their waists, resembling upright brown bears, were bargaining in front of the stalls.

Those bells and whistles are obviously not in Chen's procurement target.

Fortunately, after walking along the Crooked Bone Market for a while, the master and servant finally passed through the "Material Stalls Area" and entered the "Ancient Ruins and Cave Products Area".

The term "ancient ruins" here refers to the ancient ruins of Naroa itself.

The "caves" are tower-type and relic-type caves.

Instead of the usual cave types, both types of monster caves evolve and reproduce certain ruins and sacrificial grounds from the monster world, where some strange items will appear.

It is also the main place for "Taobao customers" to linger.

Most of the goods on the stalls were still stained with cemented dirt.

Mutilated figurines, broken swords, shields, and unknown parts abound.

Hell knows where all this stuff was dug up.

Chen Xuan stood in front of a stall, his gaze sweeping over the things placed on it.

Immediately, lines of golden subtitles appeared in my mind

[A rune sword that has decayed in battle and time, from the 2,700-year-old Makanha armored dwarven swordsman]

……

[Badly worn magic puppet parts]

……

[Fossilized feces left by an ancient soldier]

……

【Aged alchemy glass】

……

Chen Xuan pursed his lips, the so-called ancient relics on the stall were basically garbage.

But he didn't give up, and as he walked, he activated [Insight] and scanned every stall in front of him.

Rebecca, the kitten lady, was also looking at it with interest.

She was going to follow her master's advice and buy a rune sword to replace the iron one.

……

More than ten minutes later, Chen Xuan sighed leisurely.

Don't think about picking up or whatever.

The so-called ancient relics sold here are basically from an ancient mountain stream battlefield around the city of Magdam, which was a great battle more than 2,000 years ago.

It is not the product of ancient tombs or the remains of large civilizations.

Therefore, all that can be dug up there is some garbage, which belongs to the waste of the battlefield.

But Chen Xuan also found that there are still many people buying ancient "scraps".

And it's like buying a lottery ticket, the gods are picking and choosing, trying to bring good luck.

I heard that a lucky fellow once found a precious high-level magic skill in the hilt of an ancient broken sword.

Others have also found gold-level frost-type magic gems in statues wrapped in earthen shells.

It is these examples of shit luck that attract "Taobao customers" who are trying to get rich in vain.

After Chen Xuan's [Insight] "scanning", it can be confirmed that there are no good goods hidden in today's ancient ruins items.

However, when he came to the stall of the cave products, he suddenly saw a very familiar mark on a broken stone slab.

It was a palm-sized broken stone slab with unknown words the size of a green bean carved into it.

There is also a carving of the Rose Key on the edge.

Although only half of it was left, Chen Xuan still recognized it at a glance.

His eyes stared at the shard, and the golden hint made his eyes skip a beat.

[The broken stone tablet that recorded the monster shuttle ceremony]

[The content is as follows: Weili, which is divided into hundreds of millions of copies, has opened up countless channels... The Offspring of Magic crosses... Isolated... Suck... Naroa...]

……

He crouched down and picked up the slate.

Fingers rubbed over the remaining half of the Rose Key ornament.

Certain speculations arose in my mind.

Putting down the slate, he unconsciously touched his forehead again.

In addition to this stone slab, the other objects on the stall are also scrap.

Even the greatest value of the slate itself is the unknown inscription on it.

The Naroa natives can't decipher it, but Insight can.

Instead of staying, he walked forward.

Not far away is a stall of all kinds of books.

Naroa also has the art of papermaking, and books are mainly divided into paper and cortex.

Those precious solitary books are often inflicted with various protective spells.

Ordinary books are not so elaborate.

And many books don't even know who the author is, and a large number of biographies appear inexplicably.

Occupying the mainstream of the bookstall is a variety of poems and.

Chen Xuan was going to buy a few books similar to geography here to take back and take them back.

As he carefully chosen, there was an angry shout from another stall not far behind him.

"Damn profiteers!"

"This is what you call a fine book from the Dachron Bang City Library!"

"The heart of the book has been eaten by book lice!"

"Barely half of the content can be watched!"

"Refund the money!"

I saw a dwarven warrior with a beard on his face waving a book in a rage.

Jumping up and down with a loud voice.

The stall owner is a young man dressed as a bachelor, but he doesn't wear a badge on his chest.

"You've seen half of it..."

"So I can only give you ten crowns."

"No! At least 20 crowns! ”

……

Chen Xuan listened to their noise and glanced at the book in the dwarf's hand.

I didn't see the title of the book clearly, but I subconsciously launched [Insight].

[A copy of "The Adventures of Romani Love", an old book from the library of the city of Dachron, passed through the nineteen masters, and under the cover there is a page of necromancy that is considered taboo, sealed in the hands of the fourteenth master of the book three years ago]

……

"Oh? Necromancy Pages? ”

Chen Xuan was immediately interested.

Speaking of which, he really hadn't seen undead magic in the city.

The casters are mainly based on the major elemental magic, supplemented by powers such as shadows, holy light, and nature.

Originally, he thought that there was no necromancy in the Naroa Continent, and he thought that when his magic attainment was even higher, he would go to the Blue Star Slaughterhouse to buy a few hundred kilograms of bones and try to study it.

Now it seems that Naroa is not without necromancy, but has long regarded it as a taboo.

The specific reason for Chen Xuan is unknown, but if this taboo can be adhered to and implemented, it must be that there has been some accident of necromancy that makes the Nagoa natives extremely fearful.

After all, manipulating corpses and playing with death is inherently rebellious.

However, Chen Xuan didn't have so many scruples.

At this time, the dwarf who had returned the book took more than a dozen black iron coins and left with a scolding.

He walked over to the stall.

picked up the book "Romance and Love Adventures" and flipped a few pages decently.

"How much does this book cost?"

"This is a fine book from the Dachon Bang City Library, starting at thirty crowns..."

"I heard it all, I want fifteen crowns."

"Damn the dwarf, I wish all his opponents a long and healthy life!"

"Deal, the book is yours, but I won't accept returns!"

"No problem."

Chen Xuan took out a small handful of black iron coins to trade.

After the money and goods were cleared, he got up and left neatly.

Looking at the old book in his hand, the little cat lady blushed again.

Because all books with the word "love" are all out-and-out astringent books, with a large number of indescribable plots, there are no restrictions on this in the continent of Naroa.

The authors are all bold and shameless, and the plot described is quite obscene.

As a result, these books have become a vulgar pastime that adventurers often take to the wilderness to pass the time.

Chen Xuan just turned a few pages, and he saw at least ten meat scenes.

But he still just smiled and didn't say much.

Immediately afterwards, the master and servant chose a few more books on common knowledge.

In a short time, the cat lady had more books in her hands: "Naroa Grand View", "Monster Weakness Illustrated Book", "The Adventure Diary of the Legendary Adventurer Angel Fasse" and so on.

The Crooked Bones Market is large and there is a small square in the central area.

When Chen Xuan and Rebecca were about to cross the square and head to the weapon armor area at the other end.

Both were attracted by the lively shouting in the square.

"Rare! It's hard to see! ”

"The Mazelin Slave Merchant is honored to meet you in Magdam!"

"It's a treasure to be auctioned below!"

"Zerrikan twin slave girls from the Far East!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers suddenly boiled and whistled loudly.

"Everyone must know that in the Sericanian Desert in the far east of Naroa, in the southeast of the Blue Ridge Mountains, there is a mysterious kingdom of Zerikan."

"It's home to the Gobi poison lizard, which has given birth to countless creatures as terrifying as it."

"The women of Zerikan are born wild warriors and supreme swordsmen!"

"They can complete the process from drawing a knife to chopping off your dick in two breaths!"

The host's eloquence was excellent, mixed with witticisms, which made the big bosses on the scene laugh "haha".

……

A slave auction was actually being held in the square.

Because of the widespread existence of contracts, the vicious slave hunting and slave trade was once very widespread.

It was not until the Multinational Alliance announced that it would be severely sanctioned for the large-scale capture and sale of slaves in its territory, and took decisive countermeasures, that the rampant slave trade was curbed.

Private master-servant relationships like Chen Xuan and Rebecca are equally common in Naroa.

It's just that it's basically with a definite number of years.

At the beginning, the kitten lady chose to use a three-year servant contract with various restrictions in exchange for a chance to live.

It's just that I didn't expect Chen Xuan to modify the contract.

Anywhere in Naroa, this form of contract buying is not uncommon.

The two-way restriction clause makes both the master and the servant abide by the bottom line.

As for the slave trade, that's another matter.

Most of the merchants who were able to auction slaves on the street had a license issued by the Alliance.

In order to obtain a legal license, it is necessary to conclude a treaty under which you swear to abide by the restrictions on slavery in your jurisdiction.

In such an environment, the slave traders would always choose those who were not part of the multi-ethnic alliance for capture.

Most of those marginalized ethnic groups live in poor areas.

Zerikan is one of them.

It is famous for its oriental alchemy and desert, and is inhabited by many violent beasts.

It is one of the few areas where native monsters can stabilize the cave monsters.

The people of Zerikan are brave and good at fighting, especially the local women, who are especially adept at fighting with knives.

The knife was like their third arm.

As a result, the slave girls of Zerican are very popular and suitable for serving as guards.

Conversely, the cost of the slave catchers has also risen.

There might not be a single Zerekan slave in Magdam for several years, so the crowd was excited.

The lively atmosphere speaks for itself.

Chen Xuan, who was originally just passing by, couldn't move his gaze after taking a look at it from a distance.

Pulled Rebecca from the side and squeezed into the auction hall.

There were two young women with black hair and brown skin, each wearing a loose cloth robe tied to a wooden stake.

Their heads were bowed, and their black hair obscured most of their tattooed faces.

Chen Xuan on the sidelines looked excited, his eyes wide open!

Because the faces of the two women on the stage are all the oriental faces of Blue Star's standard.

But there are still some obvious differences from Xia Guo's style.

It's more like the appearance style of Mongolia near Central Asia!

Coupled with the obvious tattoos on the face, which are characteristic of the clan, these two Zerikan women look very bewitching.

Rebecca, the kitten lady, was a little surprised at first, and didn't understand why the owner was so excited.

It wasn't until she took a few glances at the woman's appearance that it dawned on her.

It was the first time she had seen a Zerikan, and now it seemed that the two slave girls and their masters really had some similarities in appearance and style!

"Are you going to participate in the auction?"

Hearing her ask, Chen Xuan first nodded, then shook his head.

"Let's see what happens."

"They're not from my hometown."

"It's just a coincidence."

At this moment, he had already regained his composure.

There is still a big difference between the Zerikan and the Orientals of the Blue Star.

The first is the skin tone, the former is a darker wheat color, and the latter is a pale yellow.

Another point is that the eyebrows and eyes of the Zerikans are more aggressive, and they look like vigilant hunters.

There is no similarity to the Oriental culture of Blue Star.

This made Chen Xuan, who originally thought that his fellow villagers would see his fellow countrymen, and the surprise in his heart quickly returned to calm.

But he was still interested in the Zerikans.

Be prepared to decide whether or not to participate in the auction at your discretion.

……

If nothing else, there's another chapter in the evening.
