Chapter 50: The Attack
Luo Mu was slightly stunned, and then withdrew his gaze, although he had done countless shady missions in Corvo, but this kind of open slave trade was really the first time he had seen it.
The girls in the cage are a little listless leaning on the edge of the cage, the beautiful face and graceful figure are so unscrupulously looked at by passers-by, their eyes are not bright, it seems that they have already accepted their fate, their necks are tied with a thin chain with a brand, the brand is written with a clear price, the more beautiful the girl, the higher the price, but the most expensive girl is only hundreds of thousands of gold coins, for the rich, they are no different from a toy.
Luo Mu is still a little unacceptable, because although Corvo still has a slave system, but because of Corvo's democracy and openness, this kind of open slave sale is completely invisible, and although the status of slaves is relatively low, at least there is the most basic dignity, and Luo Mu has very little contact, this kind of thing still seems a little incredible in Luo Mu's eyes.
Luo Mu looked at it slightly, and then looked ahead again, but Jingmu Qianming keenly captured Luo Mu's unhappy emotions, her heart moved, and secretly thought, I didn't expect Luo Mu to be a very kind person, this kind of thing is a little unacceptable, in the eyes of Jingmu Qianming, this kind of thing is simply normal, more than half of the prostitutes * women in the brothels under the Jingmu family are purchased slaves, and even the Jingmu family itself operates a slave trade.
Kyoki Chiaki didn't say anything, and walked inside again, this slave market is obviously very hot, the density of people inside is even far more than the outside, as the three of them advance, it gradually becomes a little crowded, except for the slaves who are placed on both sides of the door to solicit business, the other slaves are locked in transparent walls, both men and women, the low price is messily locked together, and the high price is locked in a separate room.
And as the three of them went deeper, Luo Mu unexpectedly discovered a soul master who had been turned into a slave trader!
This line completely subverted Luo Mu's cognition, looking at the introduction that it was a male soul master at the beginning of the soul envoy, sitting in a separate room with a pale face, and his price was already sky-high, but it was still available for purchase, Luo Mu could see that the soul power of this soul master had been completely locked, and he couldn't use half a point at all, otherwise how could this kind of wall trap him.
However, it is obvious that in addition to locking the soul power, the slave market has other ways to control this soul master, so that he will stay here willingly, and become a commodity without dignity and bottom line, Luo Mu felt a nameless fire suddenly rise in his chest, and he took two deep breaths before suppressing this fire back.
What kind of suffering could make a noble soul master give up all glory and dignity and be locked up here?
Willy noticed Luo Mu's gaze and looked over as well, and when he saw the soul master, there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he just sighed lightly and said, There are many soul masters who are not proficient in their skills, so they are in a hurry to come out and want to have a fight, but they are often easily defeated by this cruel world, and I don't know how many soul masters are sold here every year, some of them are controlled by some method after being defeated, because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they can only obey, and the other is to threaten with things that are precious to their lives, such as family and loved ones"
After Willy finished speaking, he patted Luo Mu on the shoulder, motioning for him to follow, Luo Mu glanced at the soul master again, didn't say anything more, turned his head and followed, Jingmu Qianming, who came here, became a lot more focused, she was really observing these slaves, and even spent money to buy two, it seems that Jingmu Qianming had done his homework before coming here, and Jingmu Qianming bought some slaves with excellent appearance, which seemed to be added to the family industry.
Luo Mu looked at Jingmu Qianming, who was bargaining not far away, and couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust in his heart, although Luo Mu knew that this matter was commonplace, and Jingmu Qianming was also for the family, but this kind of thing still made him unacceptable.
After the slaves here are bought, the store will deliver them to the door, the slaves in Port Leedby are not only of high quality, but also the price is cheaper than other places, after Kyoki Chiaki decisively bought a few, he looked back at the two of them, and said with a smile, "I inquired just now, there will be a small auction in a while, although it is not big, but the quality is far beyond these slaves, let's go and have a look?"
Willy understood that Jingmu Qianming was working, so he nodded happily, Luo Mu naturally had no opinion, the three of them walked around for a while, and then walked into a small hall on the side, although it was a small hall, but there were 200 seats alone, counting the standing, there was no problem at all with an auction to accommodate three hundred people, the three of them walked in, found a corner and sat down, and after a while, someone sent a number plate.
Jingmu Qianming sat in the middle, Luo Mu and Willy sat on both sides of her, and soon, the lights gradually dimmed, and the auction hall was already full of people, and even stood a lot at the door, the entire auction room only left a beam of light on the stage, the auctioneer was a middle-aged man in high spirits, the style of the field was steady, and he looked like he had been in battle for a long time, he didn't say anything, and started the auction directly.
One by one slaves were pushed to the stage, and then quickly bought by buyers, slaves both men and women, can be on the auction of nature are high-quality, not after a while, Luo Mu actually saw a few more soul masters, Luo Mu also noticed that whenever the sturdy male slaves were pushed out, Jingmu Qianming looked interested, Luo Mu couldn't help frowning slightly and glanced at Jingmu Qianming, although Luo Mu felt that he had lowered his bottom line cognition of Jingmu Qianming, but Luo Mu suddenly felt that he still overestimated her.
Jingmu Qianming obviously felt Luo Mu's gaze, tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a quiet smile, "What's the matter, Brother Luo Mu, are you unhappy?" Luo Mu didn't answer, just turned his head, but Jingmu Qianming chuckled twice and said, "Don't worry, even if I buy two slaves and go back to warm the bed, it won't shake your status in my heart~"
Luo Mu really wanted to roll his eyes like Qiu at the moment, but when he looked at Luo Mu on the stage, his pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a different species in the newly pushed cage on the stage!
It was a young girl, wearing only a few broken clothes, and she looked like she was in a coma, but the pointed ears made Luo Mu suddenly think of a species, elves!
I didn't expect them to really exist! Luo Mu has only seen it in books, elves are absolutely endangered species in the whole world, and they are all hiding in the deep forest, not to mention that ordinary people see them, it is not easy to pass through that dangerous and abnormal forest, seeing Luo Mu's eyes, Jingmu Qianming snorted, approached Luo Mu a little, and said, "What? I haven't seen it? After this incident, Brother Luo Mu will go back to Suchel with me, I can't help but have elves in my house, even Catwoman or something~." ”
Luo Mu glanced at Jingmu Qianming, at this moment, he was already like water, and his evaluation of Jingmu Qianming dropped by one point, but just when the auctioneer on the stage was hoarse in order to sell the elf at a good price, Luo Mu's eyes suddenly froze, and then with a flick of his wrist, two thin wind blades like Zen wings burst out, and almost at the same time, two explosions suddenly exploded, it was gunshot!
The gunshot was too close, almost the moment the sound came, the bullet had already been shot in front of Kyoki Chiming, although Willy had already reacted, but it was too late, at the moment when the bullet was shot in front of Kyoki Chiming, Luo Mu's wind blade was extremely accurate and cut the two bullets directly into two pieces in the air!
Luo Mu's wind blade grazed the side of Kyoki Chiaki's face, cutting off several of her hairs, and the two bullets also grazed Kyoki Chiaki's face and shot directly at the audience behind her, the shrapnel still carried a great penetrating force, and the person behind Kyoki Chiaki snorted, and fell directly to the ground, and there was no more sound.
But Luo Mu didn't have time to care about others at the moment, he slammed Jingmu Qianming's shoulders and protected him in front of Jingmu Qianming, and Willy also roared, stood up, and guarded the surroundings with a tiger's eye, Willy was still afraid at the moment, if Luo Mu was slow for a moment just now, then Jingmu Qianming would definitely have died now, and waiting for him would also be to apologize for his crimes.
After the gunshots rang out, the entire auction hall suddenly became a mess, and the guards of the auction hall also rushed out for the first time, but the scene was completely uncontrollable, everyone was surging outward, and Luo Mu erected an invisible wind wall around the three of them, and those who approached would be bounced away softly, Luo Mu and Willy escorted Kyoki Chiaki and walked out very quickly.
At this moment, they are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, the most important thing now is to send Jingmu Qianming to a safe place first, Luo Mu's wind wall has not stopped from the moment Jingmu Qianming was attacked, and has been guarding the three of them in case someone is chasing, but until the three of them return to the hotel of Norton Palace, there is still no sign of the enemy, Luo Mu's heart sank secretly, which means that the person who came to assassinate is definitely a veteran, a blow misses, and he will escape immediately, only a novice will forcibly pursue when the situation is not in his favor.
After returning to the room, the Jingmu family's soul master team heard about the situation just now, and immediately cheered up the spirit of twelve points, and protected the group here, for fear of any accidents, at this moment saw Jingmu Qianming sitting in the room safe and sound, Willy was deeply relieved, he looked at Luo Mu with a little gratitude, and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Luo Mu, if it wasn't just now..."
At this moment, Willy really recognized Luo Mu, and before Willy only maintained a little respect for Luo Mu because of Hudson's strong recommendation and the deeds he heard about Luo Mu.
Luo Mu waved his hand, signaling that it was nothing, and then Luo Mu's wrist flipped, and half a bullet stopped in his hand, Luo Mu said, "John Bomingt bullets, this kind of bullet is used by special guns, not only the trajectory speed is extremely fast, and almost silent, the assassin is a veteran, and extremely cautious, has been hidden until the most suitable time to shoot, this kind of assassin has always been not low, it seems that it is not a miscellaneous soldier, it should be another family shot"
Willy nodded, looking at Luo Mu's eyes not only a little more ashamed, so many things can be judged by a bullet, Willy asked himself if he couldn't do it, Jingmu Qianming was not frightened at all, it seemed that he had already adapted to this kind of assassination, at this moment she looked at Luo Mu, who was calm and composed, and her eyes couldn't help but rise a little brightly.
She sat on the wide bed, leaned back slightly, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Luo Mu's life-saving grace, how can Qianming repay it?"
