Chapter 9: Steamed buns and bread

The auction has begun, and there are very few bids under the auction table, but the sound of auction keeps ringing in the VIP lounges.

The price started to rise from 1,000 gold coins, and soon reached 10,000 yuan, but the speed of improvement has not stopped.

For a slave, this is really a very rare high price.

After all, most of the ordinary human slaves can't even sell for 1 gold coin, and the orc slaves don't exceed a few dozen gold coins because of their strong bodies, and only the kind that can be sold for thousands of gold coins can be sold for a high price of thousands of gold coins because of their strong bodies.

But the most ironic thing is that even if they become low-level elemental warriors, orcs are still slaves, unable to change their identity, and can only live their lives as slaves.

Some orcs will run away into the wild because they can't stand the life of slaves, and then be killed as monsters, or even become elemental materials.

This is the fate of the orcs, who have been drawn by the human circle since they were created.

Humans can change their identity and rank by becoming an elemental warrior or elemental mage - the common law of the four elemental kingdoms, and if a slave becomes an elemental warrior or elemental mage, slavery will be abolished.

However, it is necessary to work for the original master's family for ten years before he can completely regain his freedom, and whether the master's family pays him or not during this period depends on the relationship with the master's family.

And orcs become elemental warriors or elemental mages, and they can only make themselves even rarer auction items.

Orc Gerry just stood there with his head down, not struggling and roaring at the shouts in his ears, he was quiet and didn't even look like an orc who had always been known for his irritability.

The sound of the auction below was noisy for a long time, and once rushed to the price of 80,000 gold coins.

It was probably two nobles who were not very good at dealing with each other suddenly rose up and raised the price that should have stopped at fifty or sixty thousand to a higher price.

The host on the stage could hardly hide the smile on his face, after all, the host of the auction item like them earned a share of the auction item beyond the successful price of the internal scheduled auction.

As long as the final transaction price exceeds the successful auction price predetermined internally, the host can take a share of the auction price.

For example, the extra tens of thousands of gold coins in this order, the host can get at least a few hundred gold coins, which is more profitable than those lots that sell for millions in a regular manner.

After all, the price of those auction items is very high at the beginning, and none of the ten will necessarily exceed the successful auction price predetermined internally.

"Miss Lucy, are you going to photograph him?" Xiuge glanced at Lu Xi, who was staring at the crystal wall, tilted his head, and asked.

Even if he didn't know much about Miss Lucy, he could see the inexplicable anger hidden under the calm.

Yes, anger, that unprovoked, anger against this other world, was burning under Lu Xi's eyes.

Xiuge thought that Miss Lucy would agree, but Lu Xi just closed his eyes and listened to the host knock down the small hammer that made the transaction, "...... 98,000 gold coins three times! Deal! ”

Lu Xi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the orc personality that was taken down on the auction table, and replied to Xiuge, "No." ”

She couldn't save all the orcs.

It's the world's problem, and there's nothing she can do about it.

One hundred thousand gold coins is such an expensive price, but compared to a life with intelligence, it seems so cheap.

Subsequently, Lu Xi seemed to have lost interest in all the auction items, and she had been drowsy, but after refreshing her physical state, all she still had was mental exhaustion.

At half past six in the morning, as the last auction item was successfully sold, Lu Xi stood up, and the maid who had been waiting at the door entered the house to stay.

"Miss Lucy, you can rest here before leaving."

Lu Xi waved his hand and refused, and followed the maid to pay for the gold coins that took the handbag, but he didn't expect Xiuge on the side to also take out his crystal card and draw a lot of gold coins out.

"What did you buy?" Lu Xi looked sideways, she had just fallen asleep for a short time, and she didn't know what Xiuge had taken a look at.

Xiuge touched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "A little material, my sword should also be repaired, just to meet the right one." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xi suddenly came to her senses, and said, as the lord of allegiance, does she want to "pay a salary" to Xiuge?

Shuge can now use the money he earned in the Royal Knights to pay for his own expenses, so what if he spends it all, can he go to work while being a knight?

It seems that the knight needs to spend a lot of money, not only the damage to the weapon and armor needs to be repaired, but also the maintenance of the weapon and armor usually has to be maintained at a large price, otherwise it will be them who will break during the battle.

That's too bad, isn't it...... Lu Xi was silenced by his imaginary scene of Xiuge going to work, and he couldn't help but ask Xiuge.

"Huh? I have my own territory. Xiuge blinked his big bright eyes and replied to Lu Xi seriously.

As a knight from the Poberstein family, Xiuge has his own territory under his name, and one-tenth of the taxes paid in the territory every year are handed over to the state, three-tenths and four-tenths are used to maintain the operation of the territory, and the rest of the money is all Xiuge's own.

Of course, not everyone can get this treatment, for example, not everyone can become a mid-level elemental warrior at a young age.

What Xiuge didn't say was that his parents were still alive and well, and they also had their own property, and they would give "a little" pocket money every year and subsidize part of the money to Xiuge to spend.

Even if Lu Xi is short of money, Xiuge will not be lacking.

"I was presumptuous." Lu Xi was suddenly in awe, but he still thought in his heart, no matter how he said it, for the sake of Xiuge's ability to work, he still had to give some salary.

Coincidentally, as soon as Lu Xi came out with Xiuge, he saw the nobleman who had taken pictures of the orc's personality and left with his "photographed items".

As a slave, it was impossible for Orc Personality to get into the carriage belonging to his master, so he could only be chained to the back of the carriage and trot with the carriage all the way.

If you can't run, you can only passively accept the feeling of being dragged to the ground by the carriage.

The man who bought the orc personality didn't care at all, whether the orc personality hadn't eaten for several days, whether he had the extra strength to follow the carriage, and he didn't care if he had clothes on his body, or if his body was shivering in the cold wind.

He didn't care that doing so directly exposed his auction of the next orc slave, for him, I am afraid that he was about to show off that he had auctioned an orc slave to show how rich and noble he was.

Lu Xi looked up at the orc personality, the auction did not let him cause trouble during the auction, he was deliberately hungry for several days, and the average human was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground with his whole body, but he could still stand firmly.

In the early morning, when the exhaled breath turned into white mist, there was only one more short piece of clothing on his body, which could not even cover the entire body, plus the iron chains weighing dozens of catties on his neck and wrists.

He was like a cow, a brute, not a low-level elemental mage who knew words, knew how to think, and could think.

I'm afraid that after arriving at his new home, he can't cast his own elemental spells at will, he can only be controlled, maybe one day when the master's family is happy, he will be allowed to put a few elemental spells out to help the fun.

The rest of the time, however, is nothing more than being in a cage, and there is no freedom in eternal life.

Looking at the strength of such an orc, Lu Xi suddenly regretted it.

Right in front of her, the person she could obviously help......

"Miss Lucy!" The nobleman, who was about to get into the car, noticed Lu Xi and hurriedly turned around to greet him.

"Miss Lucy, I'm Romon of the Fell family......" the nobleman introduced himself vigorously.

Lu Xi had been paying attention to the strength of the orc who was unable to raise his head under the heavy shackles, and suddenly smiled.

The face that was extremely cold and proud suddenly seemed to be like a spring breeze and snow, which made the nobles in front of him a little flattered.

"He looks like he hasn't eaten for a long time, so he probably doesn't have much strength to walk like this." Lu Xi said.

The nobleman who was not remembered by his name was stunned for a moment, did not dare to say anything else, nodded vigorously and agreed, trying to cater to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi took out two big steamed buns made by himself and two pieces of high-quality white bread produced by the system from his backpack, and put them in the other party's big hands without caring about the dirt on the orc's body.

"Miss Lucy, be careful that the orc hurts you......" The nobleman's heart beat rapidly in fright.

At such a close distance, although the orc's hands were locked, it would be a terrible thing to bump into Miss Lucy.

But no, Orc Gerry just quietly looked at the highly respected noble lady, and gently put the food in his hands.

"This is steamed bread, it is food I made, it is easy to fill your stomach, you can eat it first." She said.

Soft-spoken.

"It's white bread, you can eat it later."

The smile was clean and bright, and even though the orc personality had lost most of his hope in this world, he still felt like he was seeing the sun......

Yes, the sunshine, at seven o'clock in the morning, the sun of Tanerxi finally slowly and leisurely emerged from the clouds, crossed the auction house building behind Lu Xi, and sprinkled the sun on her body to the fullest.

"By the way, seeing that the clothes on your body are so thin, it should be very cold, it just so happens that I have a dress here, and I originally wanted to give it to my friend." Lu Xi chuckled and spoke.

The orc came back to his senses and looked down at the diminutive aristocratic lady in front of him, trying to remind her that his figure might not fit the clothes of her "friend".

However, when I saw the dress, I was a little stunned.

"It may be a little bigger for you, but it's not a big problem." Lu Xi smiled kindly.

This was a new cloak she had originally intended to give to the orc Dralony, and she had made it herself during the few days of boredom in the carriage, and there was no shortage of materials in the backpack anyway.

The cloak made of monster fur worn by the orc Dralony was a little too shabby, and Lu Xi felt that he should prepare a new cloak for him as a gift.

And now, it may also be suitable to give orcs personality.

"Here, squat down a little." Lu Xi patted the arm of the orc personality, she could only get here.

The orc Ge Li held two pieces of steamed buns and two pieces of white bread, was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and slowly knelt down, Lu Xi stretched out the cloak he made and draped it on the orc Li Li's body.

The orc Dellony was a lot larger than Orc Strength, and the cloak was draped over Orc Strength, but it just covered the set of shackles on his body.

Orc Geli looked at the noble lady who knelt down and was almost parallel to herself, she beckoned to the side, and someone handed over a leather kettle, which contained a hot soup that I don't know what it was, and it tasted very good.

"It's hard to swallow just the steamed bread panel, so you can drink it with hot soup." The aristocratic lady gently and gently.

The orc looked at the few things in his arms that could not necessarily fill his stomach, and some wanted to speak, but closed his mouth tightly.

People who are extremely hungry will have something difficult to swallow.

The orc was in a trance, the noble lady had already left, got into her own carriage and left, and his noble "master", who was supposed to leave a long time ago, gave way to the other party and let the other party go first.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and eat." The nobleman walked up to the orc personality with an impatient expression.

But in front of many pairs of eyes outside, the nobleman did not dare to throw away or snatch away what Miss Lucy had given to the slaves.

I can only pinch my nose and tell this slave to quickly solve the things, and then hurry up.

"Thank you Miss Lucy, if it weren't for her kindness......," the nobleman sneered.

The orc was silent, it turned out to be called "Miss Lucy", took out the steamed buns that Miss Lucy asked to eat first, and put them into his stomach in three or two bites.

It's also strange, obviously the steamed bun is not too big, and the soft one can be pinched into a small ball, but when I eat it in my stomach, I suddenly feel that my whole body gradually has strength.

After another sip of hot soup, the whole body instantly warmed up.

The orc Gra Li took the two fine white breads in his hand, hesitantly shoved one of them into his mouth, and waited for a while, when suddenly his eyes widened, and he raised his head and stared at the direction that Miss Lucy had left.

"What do you see, hurry up and finish eating, and go." The nobleman said angrily.

Orc Geli turned back, and with a flash of gloomy expression, he carefully stuffed another white loaf into his thin jacket, clinging to his filthy skin.

"I ...... Finished eating. "The voice is simple and hoarse.

The nobleman looked at the piece of white bread that had been stuffed into his chest, stained with dirt on his skin, turned his head away in disgust, turned to the front and got into the carriage, "Then hurry away." ”

In the distance, Lu Xi, who was sitting in another carriage, looked at the system panel and thought.
