CHAPTER XXII

Twenty kilometers outside Rainbow City, there is a dense forest, the forest covers a mountain bag that is not low, standing on the top of the mountain bag, you can overlook the Jiming Lake in the northwest direction, and the huge city suspended above the lake.

Since this forest is located on the territory of the Duchy of Dusk, it is naturally considered the property of the Grand Duke of Dusk Mountain, but recently the Grand Duke of Dusk Mountain was in a "tight financial situation" and sold this forest to a mercenary group.

So this nearly 10,000 hectares of land was sold for a hundred gold coins.

In the past two days, many people have been logging on the mountain, and the fallen logs are immediately removed from the canopy and forked, then cut into large planks, and then dragged to the mountainside to build rows of barracks.

Although the craftsmanship is very simple, there are many people, and secondly, two pseudo-experts from Cangyang and Yueying are pointing on the side, and the construction speed is still very objective, and the barracks that are enough for a hundred people to live in are completed in three days, as well as supporting auxiliary facilities.

The faces of the soldiers who signed the soul contract were ugly, how could they sell their souls so lightly, just thinking about it made their stomachs full of fire, so there was a lot of friction between each other during the construction process, and three people had already lost their ability to work because they were beaten.

Xing Lian held the crystal ball and walked around, and as soon as he saw the mentally unstable soldiers, he went over to do political work, and under the effect of the psychic ability, the effect was not bad for the time being.

Wang Ming held the statistical sheet, and calculated the allocation of resources with black lines on his head, but he was at a loss no matter how he calculated it, so he simply threw the list away and rolled on the ground.

"I'm so annoyed, so many projects cost money, and it's not enough to distribute!"

At the end of the day, there's not enough money to spend. The thousands of gold coins that had been saved up with great difficulty were in front of an army. It can always be eaten up quickly.

For example, the full-body armor that was collected earlier. The black market in Rainbow City has been replaced with inferior scale armor, and more than two dozen full-body armors have been sold at a discount, but they have only been exchanged for more than a hundred scale armors, which is not enough to support a large team.

Although it was mainly because Cangyang removed all the valuable parts on the whole body armor that it was sold so cheaply, but the refined whole body armor could only be sold at this price, Wang Ming really felt that he was slaughtered.

However, he originally planned to take the elite route, so it is roughly understandable that he can only change such a small amount.

"Damn, there were still more than sixty full-body armors that I didn't get back, if I did. At least it can popularize mixed iron armor, right?"

Cangyang didn't know what to do with the enchanted parts on those full-body armors, anyway, all the ornaments that were originally nested on the surface of the armor were removed by her, leaving only a shivering armor, and then she hid in the makeshift real yΓ n room every night to toss, often causing a violent explosion.

Originally, he planned to ask what Cangyang had taken these hundreds of thousands of parts for, but when Wang Ming unscrewed the door of the real room one night, the tabletop-sized amber eyes that appeared inside made him immediately slam the door shut.

β€œ...... That...... Actually, Cangyang is a believer in the evil god! What is hidden in the house! Oh my God, are we just neighbors with a group of aliens every day!"

Without waiting for Wang Ming to say a happy word, Cangyang's vague figure slowly condensed beside him.

"Mia, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with. ”

was caught talking badly about people behind his back. Wang Ming didn't dare to refuse: "This, what's the matter?"

"An evil eye has come out of the cultivation tank. You get it back for me. ”

Wang Ming blinked his eyes, two question marks floated on his head, and he stretched out his hand to point at himself suspiciously.

"Don't ask why. ”

"But if you don't explain the situation, I don't know exactly what to do. ”

Cangyang raised his head, because he had been staying in the real room and had not gone out to get a haircut, and his hair had fallen to his shoulders.

"The evil eye in there...... It is a toy made by a group of nobles. I think you should know that the Evil Eye has a lot of tentacles on it. ”

It turned out to be an adult toy or something......

"Because this toy has a certain ability to move autonomously, coupled with the nature of the toy, it will instinctively prey on nearby female creatures. Of course, I set it to only do it if it was over 40 points above the average, but unfortunately, I seem to have reached that level. ”

"Although I don't really care about chastity or anything, but if I am [beep-], it will be very delayed, and it will affect the alchemy in the next few days because I can't get out of bed. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Wang Ming hurriedly reached out to cover his nose, and the red mucus gurgled out between his fingers.

Entering the ninety-nine-digit password, the thick steel door embedded in the concrete wall slowly opened inward, the shaft creaking and groaning under the weight of the door. As the door opened completely inward, endless darkness lay out in front of you like a picture scroll from a nightmare.

Taking a deep breath and clenching the bull rope in his hand, Wang Ming walked into the door tremblingly.

"Bang!"

The door closes behind him to prevent the Evil Eye from escaping through the gate if it fails.

"In the name of Thomas Alva Edison, I summon you to gather in front of me, and use silica as the body to penetrate the thunder and light of the bamboo fibers, shine!

A light bulb with a cloudy yellow light suddenly appeared above Wang Ming's head, sprinkling the dim light around.

Legend has it that this arcane artefacts, when ignited overhead, can increase the speed of the recipient's thinking, but this is pure nonsense.

The reason why Wang Ming cast this spell was simply because he forgot how to spell the spell of the flash technique.

"I'm really glad that the light bulb summoning technique has a lingua franca version, praising all the Chinese groups in the world......"

After muttering in a low voice, Wang Ming decided to move on, because he didn't know the specific terrain of the real room, he didn't dare to walk around, and slowly groped along the wall.

"I have long known that Cangyang's business is not clean, but I didn't expect it to be such a frenzied research, isn't this a cruelty to a woman from a good family......? Wait, since it's a cute girl paper will be attacked by the evil eye, then wouldn't I ...... too"

Cangyang's voice sounded in his heart: "Because women's physique is relatively poor. That's why I've asked you to help test the actual effect of this evil eye. If you can't take it for a while. There's a bottle of lube in the corner, and if you can't stand it, swallow a little of the evil eye's ejection, which has an aphrodisiac effect. ”

"Write down all your feelings, although you don't have the most critical parts, but the number of jΓΉ elsewhere is also very valuable......"

Wang Ming's head was full of green tendons, and he crushed the doorknob that was being grabbed in his hand.

"What the hell do you think of me!"

Cangyang's cold voice was unmoved: "What's the hurry, anyway, you're okay these days." And you're a pseudo-mother, and you won't get pregnant if you get inserted once. ”

Wang Ming didn't know what expression he had to put on his face, and his distorted face looked extremely hideous. All the magic turned into pitch-black flames that steamed on the surface, and the flames licked the ceiling, filling the room with a black-purple light.

"In your eyes...... Am I just a [beep-] just cangyang?"

"Are you still a human being to do such a thing to a companion. ”

"Death is the most hateful!"

Cangyang still said calmly: "It's okay, believe me, you'll like that feeling, theoretically ......"

Wang Ming slammed his head against the wall, blood running down his forehead. The severe pain interrupted the spiritual connection, so that the second half of Cangyang's words could only remain in his heart.

"Hey, hey, hey. I really didn't make friends......"

The sound of "gurgling" came from behind him, followed by a strange sweet fragrance, which made people's whole body feel hot.

"Hey, this is an adventure story for all ages, so the tentacles are weird or something, let me die!"

Wang Ming pulled out the night god of death and swung out a fighting qi slash, and the crazy fighting qi turned into a deep black moon with the blessing of angry love, cutting through the body of the shadow.

Seeing that the huge eyeball was cut in half like a watermelon, Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the sword also hung down slightly.

But then he felt his ankle entangled, and the sticky, cold touch gave him goosebumps on his neck. Before Wang Ming could react, another tentacle wrapped around his right hand, and with a slight twist, the sword fell to the ground, and then several tentacles flew over, binding her limbs, and the tentacles that failed to tie her limbs began to tear her clothes.

In the tearing sound of the cloth, Wang Ming's heart sank into the abyss, a tentacle had reached his mouth, searching for the entrance diligently, and the two relatively slender ones climbed up to his chest dexterously, winding around the flat peak.

Miss Mia clenched her legs desperately, trying to hold the last line of defense, but the two tentacles on her thighs pulled her apart violently and followed closely behind......

"No, it won't work there......"

"Ah, it hurts, Ya Butterfly!"

"It's so thick, it's so comfortable......"

"It's about to melt, and it's swollen to death......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

――――――――――――

Wang Ming was shocked and found himself standing at the door of Cangyang ShiyΓ n room, with a huge amber eyeball in front of him.

"Very good, the number of jΓΉ is collected. The real yΓ n of the eye of the demon is very successful, and the number of jΓΉ has to be recorded......"

Cangyang stood behind him, holding a record book in his hand and writing hard.

"Cangyang, you'd better explain to me what the hell is going on!"

"Oh, it's just a fantasy, don't care, it won't affect you. ”

Wang Ming roared: "How long are you going to be a bastard!"

Ignoring his roar, Cangyang pressed his hand on his cheek: "This is ...... Angry?"

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry, because I don't have affection, so I don't think about your feelings when I do things, and if it makes you uncomfortable, please ...... Forgive me. ”

What are ―――――――――――― feelings? It's just a weak person's excuse for his own incompetence.

Because we will be afraid, we will be cowardly, because we flaunt kindness, we will be hypocritical, because we are competitive, we will be jealous, because we ......

Therefore, all emotions should be closed, as the heir of the Solar Valley, all emotions must be closed, and the meaningless discharge of those cerebral gyrus will only destroy the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Sunny Valley.

Not just a millennium heritage, but also ......

"What a headache, I hate the expressionless Sanwu the most. What feelings are useless information. If Nima's feelings are useless, then what am I doing with so many harems!"

There was a lot of chatter. Wang Ming finally shouted tired, stopped his mouth and stared at the girl who was suspended beside him.

"Look at me, what are you doing?"

"Wait for your reply, don't you feel anything after I've been talking about it for so long?"

"What do you think?"

Pressing his hand on his face, Wang Ming now wanted to go to the side and hit the wall.

Cang Yang stared at Wang Ming with his dilated pupils, making the latter's back covered with goosebumps.

"If you have extra energy to complain about me, how about an extra four hours?"

Wang Ming smiled bitterly and stepped aside, doing his business here.

"Let's take a look. The sturdy animals of the northern countries are rough and thick-skinned, and can do heavy work, whether it is farming or mining!"

"The new arrivals are all prisoners of the regular army, sir, do you want to buy a batch and go back to the home care home?"

"Fine-tuned products are only available for the nobles, and are not for sale by the commoners. ”

......

Slave market.

This is the slave market of the city of Jerusalem.

Rainbow City always calls itself a civilized city, so the slave market is an underground industry. It can't be officially put on the table for big development, so although there are a lot of good goods there. But after all, it could not meet the needs of the Knights.

Jerusalem was different, and the slave industry was still very much thriving in the huge metropolis ruled by the three empires.

Since it is a coalition of three governments, it means that this government will either fall apart, or it is a puppet elected by the three giants, no matter what it is, there is no so-called "authority", so this gray industry has always been very developed in this kind of place.

Not only the slave industry, but also the illegal drugs, the arms trade, the Assassin Order, the Red Light District, etc., these things are also very developed, so this so-called holy city is actually in a very awkward situation, on the one hand, the devout believers make pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and on the other hand, the merchants who do contraband business are peddling the devil's wine.

There is no way, another name for the prohibition is called windfall profits, which is said in Capital: "If there is 10 percent profit, capitalism is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20 percent profit, it becomes active; if there is 50 percent profit, it takes risks; for the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on the laws of the world; and if there is 300 percent profit, it dares to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging its head." ”

Among other things, the profits of slavery are said to be four hundred percent.

"As a result, our soldiers are actually slaves......"

Wang Ming looked at the slave stalls on both sides wordlessly.

Cang Yang's face didn't turn around, holding the notebook and reading it while saying lightly: "It's okay, there are star ripples, I promise to build them into a qualified army within two months." ”

Don't brainwash others casually!

"Brainwashing? No, no, no, it's just a simple psychological counseling, which is called political work in your country. ”

Isn't it a thing?

"No, my approach is gentler. ”

Wang Ming knew that it was useless to say anything, so he went with her, anyway, those slaves were miserable enough, and I believe it would not be even more miserable.

Now, though, the question is......

"How the hell are we going to buy it?"

"The slave market in Jerusalem gathers the best sources of goods in the entire continent, basically all the races you want to buy, including celestial creatures and demonic creatures, the main body of the slave market is built underground, there are tens of thousands of slaves there, and the food consumption alone is astronomical...... But fortunately, the slaves were not picky eaters.

"You just watch me buy it, just follow behind and pay for it. ”

Cangyang danced for a while, and one after another unknown detection spells were cast, constantly scanning the slaves on the side, and the stall owners who saw this scene naturally had ugly faces, but they didn't dare to say it. Dare to express dissatisfaction with a spellcaster, do you want to die or what?

After turning around and not finding a suitable product, Cangyang walked towards the underground entrance with a huge spell book.

Wang Ming hesitated at the entrance for a while, but chose to follow in.

The ventilation of the closed underground is very poor, although there are also a lot of vents, but the crowd is still slightly crowded, the smell of tobacco, sweat, and excrement are mixed together and drilled into the nostrils, Wang Ming almost retreated.

Cast [Underwater Breathing] to yourself and the completely unaffected Cangyang, and wait until the membrane of the spell begins to draw oxygen from the surroundings. Wang Ming walked back in.

"There's no need. These are just messy odor molecules. So there's no need to waste mana. ”

β€œ...... Anyway, don't you think the smell is annoying?"

Cangyang's footsteps that were originally walking fast suddenly stopped, and Wang Ming almost bumped into it.

"How...... What's wrong?"

"Nasty? yes, what?"

Looking at Cangyang, who was dazed, Wang Ming explained hesitantly: "Roughly speaking, if you can choose one of the two freely, but there is one option that you instinctively avoid, it is annoying...... Right?"

"Do you hate it? I still don't feel it......

Wang Ming followed the girl forward again with a wry smile on his face.

"Boss. This, this and this, I bought it. ”

Those few were mountain people in the northwest of the continent, and they seemed to be inhabitants of a small country, and they could not be called strong, but compared to their companions on the side, the eyes of these slaves were much more vibrant.

The resentment hidden under the tiredness, hunger and pain was completely different from the group of numb strong men next to him.

"Yes, it's the material for the archers, although the archer training is troublesome. But I've got a batch of crossbows ready, and you'll give me two months to learn how to use them. Otherwise you will be used as cannon fodder. ”

Immediately, the girl snapped her fingers, and Wang Ming hurriedly went to bargain with the boss.

"One hundred and thirteen gold, why don't you grab it!"

"Miss, these mountain people are originally a rare species used for operations in thin air belts, and our slave hunting team is equipped with flying mounts, and it took many years of training to catch such a batch, and the cost of catching them is very high, so ......"

Wang Ming automatically ignored the boss's "miss" and retorted: "How much pain do you have to catch these mountain people that no one will buy at all?"

The boss rubbed his hands, and his beard turned upwards because he smelled the smell of gold: "Mountain people are very suitable for high-altitude work, and you also know that the three major empires have been developing air armies, and those big nobles ......"

Wang Ming covered his forehead: "Forget it, we are not going to fight an air battle anyway......"

Cangyang pointed to the other slaves: "Then I want these few, take them all." ”

The sound of chains dragging on the ground made Wang Ming have a headache, and he turned his head and said to the leading slaves, "You guys, get rid of the shackles." ”

Cangyang stopped: "Wait until you return to the station, let them hold on for ten minutes." ”

"Damn, they can't escape anyway, and they can speed up if they go down now......"

"We weren't in a hurry, and we had to continue to buy, so we didn't have much energy to take care of them. ”

Wang Ming turned his head with a dark face and said to the slaves: "You, if I untie your shackles, will you escape?"

Looking at Wang Ming with frightened eyes, the poor worms replied, "No...... Don't dare, we don't dare, miss!"

Wang Ming's face darkened a little again: "You can just call me the head of the regiment in the future, don't call me Miss anymore, I'm a male ......"

Cangyang dragged Wang Ming's collar and carried it to a stall: "Don't talk nonsense, these few, the bargaining price is below fifty gold coins." ”

Wang Ming's face was full of grief and indignation, and he began to charm the stall owner.

"Of course, of course, since you are such a beautiful young lady, it is reasonable to want to buy a few slaves as guards, and I understand, how can I collect so much money from you?

Wang Ming took out six platinum coins from the dimensional bag and reluctantly handed them to the boss, and the team behind him increased by twelve people.

"In any case, buying slaves is cheaper than conscription, isn't it?"

Cangyang explained.

"Morale?What are you going to do with Boosting Technique and Heroism?Is your mind magic all for nothing?"

Wang Ming was sweating profusely: "No, I always feel that it is a very immoral ...... to manipulate other people's free will at will."

"Morality?

Definitely don't discuss any morality with a three-nil.

An afternoon passed, and three thousand gold coins were exchanged for more than seventy slaves.

"Alright, the crossbowman has been purchased, so let's go buy some orcs to use as meat shields and cannon fodder. ”

Looking at those orcs full of muscles, Wang Ming felt a little inferior, he was the kind of physique that couldn't grow muscles no matter how much he exercised, although he was already a fierce remnant on the earth, and even once was ambushed by a local gangster, he was stunned by him throwing two back chairs all the way out of the "unequaled", but the two arms were still as thin as bamboo poles.

"The price of orcs is indeed a little higher, but it doesn't matter, five thousand gold coins are enough to buy a hundred. Mia, you give me those orcs of the Boer Bull Clan, up to two hundred gold each. Be sure to buy it, and the excess money will be deducted from your account. ”

Wang Ming lowered two tear stains and turned his pitiful gaze to the shopkeeper.

"No, no, no, dear Miss Mia, I have always paid a thousand gold coins for such a good product. (To be continued......)
