Chapter 4 "Pet" shop

After breakfast, Dad went out, Dad was always busy, alas, adults are so tired, they don't have time to play, I can't help but complain for Dad. However, after a while, the bearded Mr. Hook came, and I wanted to laugh every time I saw his mustache, but his lessons were boring!

"Young Master Nia, are you listening carefully to my lecture?"

......I stuck my tongue out at him, and then sat up straight, making me look like I was listening to the lecture very seriously.

"Our country, the Colt Empire, is located in the western part of the Anolan continent, with a number of islands in the west, the Biel Empire in the east, and our imperial capital seems to be the city of Bistan, separated from our Dama province by the province of Golfito. "I have to admit that I have heard these names hundreds of times, but Mr. Hook is going to tell me again.

"Teacher, I know all of this. ”

"Hehe, Young Master Nia is really powerful. He smiled and continued, "But, do you know what the mainland is to the west?"

"To the west, isn't it the sea?"

"Hehe, there is another island called Tosma to the west, which is almost the size of two Dama provinces. The bearded man finally said something that interested me, "There are some residents who have been less civilized and have lived there. ”

"Civilization is weaker?" I was very curious about some new things, and hurriedly asked, "What do they look like?"

"Of course, they are all human beings like us, but most of them have dark skin and great strength, but fortunately they don't have too strong cohesion and their seafaring industry is not developed, so they can't come to our side, otherwise if they fight with our army, they will have a great advantage. Usually they are captured by us as slaves. The bearded man scratched the beard on his mouth and said.

"What is a slave?" I asked, grasping the bearded man for something I didn't understand.

"Slaves. The bearded man thought for a moment, put on a contemplative look, and then said to me, "Slaves are people who are not free, as long as you give money to the slave owner, they are yours, and the purchased slaves must obey you and obey your demands." ”

"Can I get a slave to buy candy for me?"

"Uh...... You give him money and he'll buy it for you...... Okay, let's move on to the lecture, the Tosma Islands are rich in fruits......"

I spent the morning in a boring class, and then the bearded man told me about the forestry, the fruit industry, and the culture of the Tosma Islands...... It's so boring, but I finally got through it, and my mother and the bearded teacher said a few more words, and then I sent the bearded man away, Oye, my time is here again!

"Nia, have you listened to Mr. Hook's lesson?" asked my mother as she walked back and greeted me kindly.

"Yes, yes, yes. I shouted quickly, ran into my room, changed my clothes and ran out.

"Nia, it's time to eat, where are you going?" I had just stepped out of the door of the Earl's Court when my mother stopped me.

"I'm out playing!" I shouted as I stopped at the door, but my feet didn't stop, I still stood still, and then I ran out with a whoosh.

I walked slowly down the street, and came to an old uncle's stall and bought an apple from him, but when he saw that I was not counting the money with me, he gave it to me, and I thanked him and left, I was very polite!

"It's delicious!" I was eating the apple, looking left and right, looking east and west, when I heard someone shouting "Sell pets!" I looked in the direction of the sound, and there were still a lot of people on the other side, and I couldn't see inside. Wow, what a novelty pet! There were so many people, I immediately ran over.

"What a pet!" I squeezed into the innermost part of the child's hand, and saw several merchant-looking people hawking, and one of them shouted red-faced, as if to attract all the pedestrians on the street.

There are cages around them, and there are small figures in the cages, and I am angry when I see them, I have been deceived, where are there any pets, I immediately shouted: "You lie to people!

The previous noisy environment immediately became silent, and everyone around looked at it in amazement, but this state only lasted for a few seconds, and the next moment, everyone hugged their stomachs and laughed, and my face turned red as soon as I "brushed-", and hurriedly shouted: "What are you laughing at!

"Haha, little master, what we are selling here is indeed a 'pet'. A thief-eyed man came up to me and said with a grin, then pointed to the petite girls in the cage and said, "We're selling slaves." ”

I was puzzled and said, "What does that have to do with pets? You don't have a dog here and you still say anything about buying pets!"

"Uh...... That's the case, little master, look, why are pets called pets? That's what they are used to pet~ Look, aren't they all very beautiful girls? Aren't they used to pet?" The merchant who spoke to me before smiled thiefly, I don't know why his smile didn't look very sincere, a little obscene.

"It seems to be coaxing. I thought about it, but I was still very unwilling to be ridiculed before, and I continued to argue, "But why do these girl slaves be spoiled, aren't they also slaves, shouldn't they help us buy candy?"

"Buy, buy candy...... Yes, yes!" the merchant smiled awkwardly and said, "You can make your slaves do anything. ”

At this time, the person on the side began to sell again, and the thief-eyed merchant came up to me again and said, "How about it, little master, do you want to buy one? You can let them do anything~ They are all specially trained!"

"Do you need to train to buy candy?" but my dad said he would buy me candy in a few days, and I don't need a slave to buy candy for me?" I said confusedly.

"Well, of course, the main purpose is not just to buy candy, they can 'serve' you very comfortably!" he said, giving a thumbs up, but I didn't understand what it meant, and seeing that my face was full of doubts, he seemed to want to give up selling for me.

"Eh, look at that, look at that, your legs are so white!" Seeing that the merchant turned around, as if he didn't want to pay attention to me, I stood bored and watched, anyway, there was nothing to do, let's take a look here, and suddenly I heard a man behind me say.

"Isn't it? Oh, look at that, I'm so young, what is 'Durex' here. The other man standing beside him said, "Durex......?" I turned my head and saw that there was a wooden board on the edge of this stall with these three big characters written on it, which turned out to be the name of the shop.

"It's a pity that I don't have any money, otherwise I'd like to buy one to go home as a wife, haha. The man from before laughed.

"Aren't they? These toys are too expensive, and the cheapest will cost us two months' family living expenses! (almost a gold coin) I think only the nobles can afford it, and we commoners should not think about it. ”

"What's the wife?" I asked, looking up at the merchant in front of me, confused.

"It's the wife. Suddenly, I saw him raise his head, his eyes lit up, and he asked me, "Little master, do you want to buy one to go home and be a wife?"

"But my father said that my wife can only have it when she grows up. I said confusedly.

"No!" he suddenly turned his head and said with a grin, his two hands clasped together and kept rubbing, and said evilly, "What your father said must be different from what we have here, our slaves here, you just have to buy it back, you can do whatever you want, that is to say, you can be your wife if you want her to be your wife~"

I nodded my head as if I didn't understand, and pretended that I understood, as I did when I was listening to the bearded man's class.

"Then you can buy one!" he said to me, baring a mouthful of white teeth.

"Well, but I don't know if I have enough money, so I brought ten gold coins with me. I scratched my head and said, "Well, I really want a wife, and I don't know what a wife is going to do, but that's what a child is like, than if you see your friend have a new toy, you want it, even if it's not fun, if you see your friend has a new food, you'll want to eat it, even if it's not delicious......

"Oh my God, our most expensive one is only eight gold coins!" he exclaimed, and then chatted with me with a compliment, "Ou, what, little master, since you want to buy it, come in and sit down, let's make a cup of coffee and slowly pick ~ our slave...... Wife, all kinds of things. ”

So I was inexplicably led into a small shop at the back of the stall, but when I came in, he pulled me to the top seat and made me a cup of cocoa to drink, although he said coffee before, but children like me prefer sweet cocoa, and he also gave me some candy, I don't know why, when I saw him, a word called a profiteer always came to my mind. To be honest, it's not small, it's almost the size of my room. (My room is about 100 square meters big)

The profiteer walked up complimentarily and said (let's call him that): "Come on, little master, look at which one you like!"

He stepped on my hand and walked to the front of the cage, there were many cages, some of them had a slave in them, some of them were four or five, and the profiteer said as he walked: "Look at this, the legs are so white, and this, the eyes are so big, Ou, look at that, the breasts are so big......"

I walked behind him, looking at these slaves, there were a lot, but I don't know why he always added some strange adjectives, suddenly, as I walked, I saw a slave, in the cage in the far corner of the row, curled up in the corner of the cage, with beautiful blond hair, and big green eyes, looking very scared, but what attracted me was indeed her ears, pointed!

"What's that?" I pointed in the direction of the slave.
