Unbearable to look back on: Puppet chapter
"If you want to save Nolan, I won't stop you, but there's no need to help you, Qiye has long existed in name only, and without an order, no one can act without permission, it's useless for you to look for me, I just want to run my own tavern with peace of mind. ”
Ye Bei's face-turning, coupled with the restraints of the past three years, made Ye Long completely understand, his value has come to an end, Ye Bei can no longer trust Qiye, maybe until he dies, no one will remember him, he has some hatred for Adam in his heart, if it weren't for this man to break the peace, Ye Feng and they wouldn't have died, and Qiye wouldn't have fallen into the way he is now.
"Where is Ye Jue?"
"Where else can a madman who doesn't even know who he is, and kills people when he sees them, is naturally locked up, and you don't need to blame Your Majesty, she is crazy, the last time I saw her was half a year ago, at that time she was already delirious, confused, one second to you swords, the next second she doesn't remember anything, maybe she is dead. ”
Adam was silent, this is the destination she chose by herself, no wonder others, he just didn't understand why the kindness of just a thousand Ye Wenjin was worth her to pay for Ye Bei to this point, he once asked Ye Jue, but Ye Jue always smiled and said, I can't remember.
How could it be forgotten?
There is no personal freedom, no status at all, even in winter, he is not clothed, he can't eat enough, his hands and feet are shackled, he can only sleep on cold stone slabs, covered with straw mats full of holes, more than a dozen people live in the same room with rats and cockroaches, the slave owners provide them to the rich and nobles, and the daily labor never stops, he is better, after all, he is a boy, he can barely hold on, but Ye Jue is different, she is a girl, far more miserable than him.
Once she was pregnant with a child, she was forced to use drugs to beat it, and over time she would not be pregnant again, no one wanted to be responsible for a slave girl, they were just having fun, after all, the money had already been paid, and they didn't care if Ye Jue lived or died.
These things were seen by Adam, he tried to take Ye Jue to escape, but he was soon caught back, the slave owner gritted his teeth and whipped him with a leather whip, beating until the skin was open, and he was covered in blood before stopping, but he couldn't be killed, how to make money by being killed, Adam's only comfort was that Ye Jue was not beaten, for the slave owner, he couldn't bear to do this girl, if she was covered in injuries and dirty, how could those nobles still look at it? When the time comes, I'm afraid no one will want to sell it to Flower Street.
If you hadn't met Ye Bei, maybe this life would have been like this, dying in pain and labor, or being sold to the gladiatorial arena when you became an adult, killing one or two people, and then dying honorably on a stage full of corpses.
As for Ye Jue, she will probably be sold to Flower Street as a prostitute, living by picking up customers, her background is destined that no one will treat her sincerely, and no nobleman will be stupid enough to marry a slave girl, they attach importance to bloodline as if it were their own lives, and they would rather marry their sisters and brothers than accept a commoner, let alone a slave.
His Adam's life is only worth a hundred leaf pattern gold, and Ye Jue's slightly more expensive is only a thousand leaf pattern gold, Ye Bei bought them bought, Adam and Ye Jue were not happy, some were just afraid, because being a slave can still live and eat, the slave owner points to make money, and will not kill them, but once they are bought, it doesn't matter if they are fed to dogs.
"Do you know why I bought the two of you and didn't buy them?" Ye Bei asked, pointing to those ** bodies and skinny slaves.
The two shook their heads, how could they know what Ye Bei thought, they only knew that the person in front of them was generous and richly dressed, and they could only pray that he would be merciful, after all, it was too common for nobles to buy slaves and go back to play until they died.
"Because their hearts are dead, and living has become a burden, this kind of person is not worth a leaf pattern gold, but you are worth it, even if he asks for 100,000 yuan, I will give it. ”
Adam didn't understand the meaning of Ye Bei's words, he didn't understand why he was worth so much money, let alone 100,000, the money he had seen in this life would not add up to more than a hundred, it was already good to have something to eat, how to expect more?
"Forget your past name to me, from now on, you are Ye Sheng, you are Ye Jue, I will give you three days, you will kill this slave master within three days, no matter what method you use, bring his head back, if you can't do it, I will send you directly to the gladiatorial arena." ”
Is it hard to kill someone?
It was really difficult for two teenage children, they didn't even have a weapon, if the stones didn't count, but the three words of the gladiatorial arena were enough to make them muster the courage to kill, and instead of competing with those murderous villains, it was better to find a way to kill the slave owner.
The slave owner had more than forty slaves under his command, not a lot, and therefore had no money, and every night he would get drunk, and then go to the flower street to find a cheap prostitute for recreation, which was his greatest pleasure.
The drunken man is usually defenseless, and while he was asleep, they strangled him and the prostitute to death on the bed with straw ropes, and tore his neck with sharpened stones, cutting off the bones and muscles, like killing a pig, until the stones were dull, and then cut in half.
The room was filled with the stench of feces and blood, and the two children, with their hands covered in blood, knelt on the slave owner's body, trying to rip his head off, and the veins burst one by one, and blood splattered on Adam's face.
With a crisp sound of bones breaking, inertia led the two of them backwards, and Adam looked at the head in his arms in a daze, his whole face was bruised and swollen, his eyes bulged out, and his tongue was sticking out.
"Vomit ......"
Adam couldn't hold back any longer, threw the head, leaned over and vomited, this was the first time he and Ye Jue killed someone, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, he only knew that if he didn't do this, he and Ye Jue would die.
"Haha......"
Adam vomited for a while, vomited all the stomach acid, leaned against the wall like a detachment, his hands and feet were still shaking uncontrollably, his face was as white as powder, but he couldn't stop laughing, it turned out that killing someone was so easy, it turned out that killing a hated person with his own hands was so happy, why didn't he do it earlier?
"Why are you laughing, are you happy to kill people?" Ye Jue asked, tilting his head.
"He treated us like this, why is he not happy to kill him with his own hands?" Adam looked at her puzzledly, compared to himself, Ye Jue should be the one who hated the slave owner the most.
Ye Jue didn't answer this question, she just shook her head.
It wasn't until Ye Bei took them out of Vero City that Adam knew that this person was actually the illegitimate son of King Bei Ye, but he was not qualified to inherit the king's surname, but took his mother's surname, and no one in the court looked down on Ye Bei, even his half-brother often humiliated him.
The original Qiye is not called Qiye, because there are only two people, he and Ye Jue, until later there are other people to join, Ye Feng was a thief, he was caught red-handed, and there are only two ends, the first is to be cut off according to the code, which is actually worse than death, and the second is to go to the Void City, so that you can be exempted from punishment.
This kind of criminal law is not heavy, because of the different classes, the upper class has no sympathy for the lower class, and some only despise and disgust, even if they know that power and wealth come from this group of poor and dirty people.
But Ye Bei gave him a third choice, giving up his past name and becoming Ye Feng.
They all have a reason to join, as long as Ye Bei is alive for a day, they must bear the name of Qiye to live and perform one task after another.
Adam never wanted to think about these past events, whether it was the previous slave life or the life after becoming Qiye, it was the same boring and boring, and it could even be said that it was painful, and his hands stained with blood could not be washed cleanly, and he only then understood why Ye Jue did not laugh at that time.
When killing becomes a part of the daily routine, no one but the madman can laugh.
Ye Jue's talent is not as high as Adam's, and it is not even as good as Ye Feng, the realm is improving slowly, and it is becoming more and more difficult to perform tasks, as Ye Bei said, he doesn't need people who have no value, but Qiye will never allow anyone to quit, and Ye Jue, who is at the bottom of his strength, has only one end, that is, to disappear.
It was the most intense time when the competition for the royal power of North Wind City was the most intense, and it was also the most stressful years for Qiye, at this time, no one could make a mistake and drag it back, if Ye Bei was defeated, they would never recover.
During this period, Ye Bei personally talked to Ye Jue once, no one knew what they said, but after that, in just one month, Ye Jue broke through the bottleneck of desperation, crossed the burning bones, and directly entered the soul transformation realm, the process of cultivation seemed to not exist, it seemed that even her realm was soaring when she drank water and walked.
It was also from that time that Ye Jue gradually began to forget some things, it was not obvious at first, and the performance became more and more serious as time passed, sometimes when she saw Adam, she would stare at him blankly for a long time before she could remember who he was, but no matter how Adam asked her, she just shook her head and didn't say anything.
It wasn't until Ye Bei really became the king that he personally answered Adam's doubts, which was the Xingyue Grass that he entrusted his teacher to find, there were seven in total, but Ye Jue was the only one who really used it.
Xingyue Grass grows in the Western Dragon Domain, as the name suggests, it is the realm of the dragon clan's survival, one of the most dangerous realms besides the Void Abyss, only a few people in the world today dare to set foot in the Dragon Domain, and Ye Bei's teacher is one of them.
The number of Xingyue grass is scarce, it grows in autumn and withers in winter, it is very rare even in the Dragon Domain, and the use of corresponding spells can directly change the physique of people, and become as affinity and spiritual power as the human race in the Taihuang period, a bit similar to atavism.
The price to pay is also heavy, the user will be exponentially overdrawn life and potential, the higher the strength is raised, the weaker the body will be, the pain is unbearable, it is easy to contract diseases, and memory loss, she will gradually lose her memory, forget the people around her, and finally forget who she is, and eventually die of physical failure, or die of disease, or lose her mind and die of madness.
It was much more painful than death, and if it were Adam, he would rather risk escaping than accept this method, and Adam had asked her if it was really her own will.
Ye Jue just shook his head and said with a smile that he had forgotten.
Maybe she really doesn't remember.
