Oberto, who originally wanted to send the visitor away quickly, stopped immediately when he heard "Looking at the goods".
The light was very dark, and the light source driven by crystals in the distance could not illuminate the place at all. The weak firelight only outlined the blurry outline of the person in front of him.
The voice of this man who came out of the shadows was mechanical and stiff, with no fluctuation in every word he spoke, and even no emotion could be heard.
This deliberate cover-up did not surprise Oberto too much. He had seen too many people with secrets in the slave trade.
It's just that it feels bad to look at this person.
For some reason, Oberto felt that there was more than one pair of eyes looking at him under the fluttering brim of his hat.
He said politely, "Our guests have requests, of course we have to satisfy them," but his strong curiosity prompted him to quietly take a step forward.
The hand behind his back caressed the torch not far away without leaving any trace.
In the air, magic swirled, stirring up flames.
In the dancing firelight, a trace of light inadvertently penetrated into the face that seemed to be cut off from the light.
The light of the flame was instantly swallowed up by something unknown.
The black mist slowly dissipated, and an ink-like wave flooded into his consciousness.
He felt particularly agitated for no reason, as if there were a lot of small voices whispering in his ears.
Oberto wanted to listen carefully to this unknown voice and carefully identify it, but he was unable to do so.
Those sounds were like black vines, spreading bit by bit in my mind.
Cold.
Quiet.
Extensive.
Can't understand.
After just a while, Oberto became dizzy, and the strong irritability made his stomach very uncomfortable, and the urge to vomit was almost uncontrollable.
"Don't try to spy on something you don't understand."
Oberto broke into a cold sweat as he listened to the voice coming from the front.
This cold and mysterious power seemed to be able to tear his consciousness apart and fill his body with chaos.
Who is he?
Is it the royal family from Yas Royal City or a line of nobles from the kingdom?
Or...just a visitor simply passing through?
No matter who he is, he is definitely not a good person.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with the effect. Not only did Oberto sincerely say that he would give him time to see the goods, but he was also in awe of himself.
This was actually an accident.
At that time, Lulutis was introducing to Lu Yu the relevant content of the Argonian bloodline and inferior bloodline.
Because Lulutis was lying on Lu Yu's shoulder, she did not use mental magic to communicate, but whispered to Lu Yu casually.
Logically speaking, it would be nothing for ordinary people to hear these whispers. Unfortunately, as a magician, Oberto was too curious and had to use his magic power to try to spy on them.
Lulutis once tried to communicate with other beings in this world, but without exception, she angered them and made them irritable. In the end, they turned into hatred towards herself and couldn't help but launch attacks.
This is the effect of that powerful seal, which distorts Lulutis' words and turns them into a content that is close to spiritual pollution.
Oberto was shocked by Lu Yu's shocking dirty power.
When Lu Yu and Lulutis discovered that the situation was not good, they were worried about the situation getting worse.
If he got into a fight with Oberto here, he really didn't know how it would end.
Fortunately, Oberto stopped his stupid behavior in time and became extremely humble.
Although he didn't know what he was thinking about, Lu Yu decided to let him go.
As for how powerful this "pollution" can be on people, Lulutis decided to find an opportunity to test it later.
Lu Yu walked to the Yalong people and squatted down.
The Argonian girl, who was bound by a collar and chains, was looking at herself through the gap in her silver-white hair.
Indigo blue eyes released cold murderous intent.
The silver-white waterfall covered the girl's face, and the weak firelight made the silver threads shine.
There was still blood on the corner of the girl's mouth. I don't know if it was left by some unlucky earl's servant or it was her own blood.
"If you want to wrap your chain around my neck instantly and use me as a hostage in exchange for your life, I suggest you give up this idea."
The Argonian girl lowered her head and covered her exposed eye with her hair, trying to prevent Lu Yu from observing her expression.
"If you plan to bite me to death, then you don't need to grind your teeth. Since you can chew off a person's finger bones and flesh together, from this distance, it shouldn't be a big problem to bite my neck off."
The sound of grinding teeth suddenly stopped.
"The iron rod you were secretly aiming at is indeed a good weapon. The end is sharpened and very sharp. It won't be a problem to stab someone through it."
"It's just that I don't think you can fight your way out while being shackled. As long as you have this ability, you won't be locked up here and turned into goods."
The Argonian girl's body leaned forward slightly, and her hand had moved a lot to Lu Yu's side.
"I'm not telling you all these things to make fun of you, I'm giving you a way to survive. Speaking of which, you plan to kill me as a back-up..."
"Believe me, if you take action, you will definitely die."
Lu Yu's cold voice caused the Argonian girl to stop.
"If you die, I only need to compensate that person over there with a few silver coins, maybe one, maybe two..."
"We stood on your body and started bargaining, and you didn't even have a chance to refute."
"By the way, how many silver coins do you think your life is worth?"
The Argonian girl was silent.
"I appreciate your rebellious spirit, so I would like to talk to you more. Whether you believe it or not, I must be the most patient person before buying slaves."
"Not many buyers will spend so much time laying the groundwork. They will just roughly push your hair aside and pinch your chin to appreciate your embarrassment."
"The tattered clothes you are wearing will only make them think faster in the lower body. When they take you home, throw you on the bed, and get tired of playing with you, you will most likely become nourishment for the land."
"I don't rule out that some people have a bad taste and will bring you home just to torture you."
"It doesn't matter if you are tortured to death. It's just a slave. If you die, you will die. There are so many slaves here. How many of them do you think will be able to see the sun in a few days?"
"No one cares."
Lu Yu's words made the girl who had just bitten off a finger from the earl's entourage feel chills.
It was the coldness that gradually came from all directions and soaked into the bones.
"I don't have the patience to give people too many opportunities..." Lu Yu stood up, stared at the Argonian girl on the ground, and ordered in a low voice.
"If you want to get out of here alive, stand up, raise your head, and face me."
The girl hesitated for a while, then endured the pain and slowly got up from the ground.
She raised her head and looked at Lu Yu warily with her eyes hidden behind her long hair.
The gray scales on the girl's hands, both sides of her jaw, and her forehead have not faded away. These are the products that cannot be eliminated within a short period of time after transforming into a dragon.
Lu Yu stared at the girl's indigo eyes and said nothing for a long time.
"What... do you want me to do?"
The Argonian girl couldn't hold back and asked.
"Before that, you should tell me what I should call you."
"Lenier..."
"Sigrid Lenier."
Have a complete name, not random.
Although I am curious as to why such a person has fallen to this point, now is not the time to find out.
"Lu Yu, a traveler."
"Sigrid, right? I plan to buy you. If you have any questions, you can wait until you leave here."
Just when Sigrid was about to open her mouth to say something, Lu Yu's voice sounded again.
"It's best not to refuse me. You only have one chance."
"I believe that if you follow me, you will be able to see the light of day again and usher in a new life."
"Or... rot with them."
Lu Yu pointed not far away.
It was a slave who had lost in the competition and had his legs broken.
He lost too much blood and turned pale. He murmured for help, but what he received was a ruthless kick from the slave trader.
This kick kicked him into the ditch next to him.
The flies were frightened away, as if they were angry that their delicious meal was interrupted, so they all landed on the slave with a vengeance.
Sigrid, who was not afraid of death and even wanted to die, couldn't help but tremble when she saw the disgusting scene of flies waiting to enjoy the feast.
"Sigrid, give me the answer."
"Leave,"
"It's better to follow me and leave."
Sigrid looked at the pair of hands shaking feebly in the ditch, trying to drive away the flies, and imagined the horrific scene of him being suffocated in the filth.
Looking around, frivolous laughter, dirty words, and disgusting scenes all overlapped.
Sigrid's lips moved, her mouth opened and closed again, back and forth.
finally…
"I...I'll go with you."
Lu Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, raised the corners of his mouth.
If such a stubborn and unyielding slave were to be forcefully purchased, even if there was a contract, there would be no guarantee that he would not trade with him for one with the belief that he would die.
The perseverance shown in Sigrid's eyes and the spirit of resistance implemented with practical actions made Lu Yu very satisfied. He did not want the person he liked to play tricks on him and blow himself up later.
"Wait."
After leaving two words to Sigrid, Lu Yu strode towards Oberto.
"Make an offer."
Oberto felt nauseous again, and there was a constant ringing in his ears.
"Ten...fourteen silver coins."
"too much."
Oberto was shocked: "Too... too much?"
"Guest, I spent a lot of money..."
"I'm not interested in how much you spent. I just say one thing, it's too much."
Oberto gritted his teeth: "You go!"
"Seven coins, six to buy her bloodline, and one to reward you."
Facing this guest who cut off half of his meal, Oberto wanted to scream, but when he thought about it, he had already lost a lot of money tonight because of Sigrid, and had offended the active nobles in the royal city.
Spending too much energy on such a lunatic who wants to die will only make it worse...
Not to mention that the noise in his ears was getting louder and louder, and it was hard to tell if it wasn't the mysterious man in front of him.
Sell it, just stop your losses and send away these two gods of plague!
Oberto brought the purchase agreement that he had prepared and handed it to Lu Yu. Lu Yu felt sorry for his seven silver coins and reluctantly handed them to Oberto.
