Cannon Fodder Strategy

The original owner's instinctive behavior today allowed her to find Anna. Even if her identity has not yet been determined, at least she has one more chance.

"Anna? Is your father okay now? Which slave owner do you belong to?" Lily already felt in her heart that this Anna was most likely the woman Brian fell in love with in the plot. Although she had not identified it yet, her sixth sense told her Feeling that there was something wrong with this girl, she couldn't help but start asking questions: "Is he okay? I can buy you, and you can avoid fighting with the evil wolves."

Arturi on the side heard Lily's words and his expression was calm: "It's time to go." When he spoke, Lily couldn't move at all. In addition to feeling some sympathy for the girl, she somehow felt uncomfortable seeing her like this. He looked vaguely close to her, and a strong desire to help her surged in her heart. She desperately wanted to do something.

"No need!" When the girl named Anna heard that Lily was going to buy her father and daughter, a look of confidence and arrogance appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile made her originally beautiful Her face looked much more charming. She covered her neck with one hand and blocked the wound between her necks. Her eyes were calm: "We father and daughter don't need anyone's mercy. My father is old and weak and is not suitable for entering the arena anymore, but he can't. ,I can!"

When she said this, she exuded a huge amount of confidence. She raised her chin slightly. When this proud look appeared on her face, she did not look like a humble slave, as if She looked like a high and mighty queen, making it impossible for anyone to take their eyes away from her.

"All it takes is a knife," she finished. One corner of his mouth curled up, and his expression no longer had the pitiful and charming look before, but instead looked a bit evil and confusing: "As long as you are willing to lend me the knife in your hand, I can chop off the head of the evil wolf." Come down. Give it to your Excellency as a thank you gift for today!"

There really was nothing like a slave about her. When Lily heard this, she still didn't understand that this girl named Anna might be extremely ambitious. It was a lie that she came to beg for mercy today. It was possible that she was taking the opportunity to get to know Aturi.

After all, Grand Duke Aturi's identity would even impress the original owner's parents, who were born into noble families, let alone a lowly slave. The status of the Grand Duke of Arturi gives him certain privileges. If this girl named Anna really gets his favor and becomes his lover, he has every right to pardon her family's sins and restore their citizenship as a citizen. Their status makes them no longer slaves who are inferior to others and are like animals. And you can live a wealthy life and become a master from now on.

In fact, she didn't need Lily's cooperation at all. The rejection at this moment was like a slap in Lily's face. Her proud tone easily made Lily's previous concern seem like a joke. Anna was arrogant and A confident look can easily bring out the weakness, incompetence and vanity of other women.

At this moment Lily began to doubt her previous guess. Although her name was Anna, she did look very charming in figure and appearance. But Brian grew up in the temple. To be honest, most of the candidates for the temple are girls with outstanding looks and figures. Logically speaking, he is not a superficial man who is easily tempted by the appearance of women. Although he was a little resentful of the original owner in the later stages of the plot because he kept wandering among the nobles looking for men, overall, Brian's conditions were not bad.

As the Knight Commander of the Temple, he has a handsome appearance and a powerful figure, plus strong strength and a noble status that although declined, fortunately, he still has it, and he is willing to come to his door automatically. There were not a few noble ladies and ladies who had sex with him. Anna's purpose of clinging to the powerful was so clear that she didn't even suppress her ambitions at all.

It seems that this Anna is so proud that she doesn't even bother to hide her purpose. Could it be that Brian really has a serious masochistic tendency. I am willing to let go of my pride and pride and fall in love with such a woman. And betrayed the temple for it? He was so dissatisfied that the original owner was dating the nobles of the Nore Empire because he was manipulated by the Roman couple. How could he swallow his anger and tolerate a woman like Anna?

Although such a thing is not completely impossible, if it is indeed the case, then the target of this mission is really interesting!

Anna was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment, her long legs bent, and her exposed soft waist twisted into an enchanting look: "My lord, are you willing to accept Anna's gift?" When she spoke, her face was still a little bit revealing. With a provocative smile, she didn't even glance at Lily from the corner of her eye, as if she were treating Lily as air. All of her wavy curly hair was pushed to the right side of her chest. Because of her sitting position on the ground, her body The originally short leather skirt was lifted up a little higher, and the scenery of the thighs could be vaguely seen. It was this faintness that made it really alluring.

Anna is obviously very aware of her own advantages. Her breasts can't help but rise and fall when she speaks. The tall and plump roundness seems to be stretching through the shabby gray short top. Her body tends to lean back, making her breasts more prominent. , her neck was stretched by her, and the mark between the collarbones that originally represented shame now seemed to be imprinted on the fair skin with her breath, but it had another alluring charm.

She had just begged that her weakness could not attract the attention of the Grand Duke Aturi, but she quickly changed her approach. She was a very smart and decisive woman.

Lily came to this understanding in her heart and felt a little bit tricky. At first, she had some doubts about whether Brian really liked Anna, a seemingly superficial type, but now it seemed that she was wrong, this girl was very smart.

In a way, this Anna is a flexible and adaptable person, and she knows very well what her strengths are, and any little move can confuse people. Her ambitions are very obvious, but it is also because of her It's too obvious. Coupled with her pride and her beauty, this kind of ambition looks very attractive to men. She will give men a very strong desire to conquer. The more you get along with her, the easier it will be to make them. Man cannot dial himself. She seems to know this very well and has a very clear grasp of men's psychology. And while trying to find out Aturi's preferences, she was not the kind of idiot who only seduces people, and when she let Aturi see the seductive side of her, her eyes were full of coldness .

No matter how charming her expression is. But there was a calmness and clarity in her eyes, and even Lily could see this calmness clearly. Lily didn't believe that Aturi couldn't see it. Anna is not a fool, such an obvious temptation coupled with the clarity in her eyes. It will only arouse the evil roots in a man's heart and make him want to conquer her.

After Anna finished speaking, she smiled confidently at Arturi and stuck out her tongue to lick her lips.

Lily was silent, and Arturi suddenly said: "Let's go."

He didn't answer Anna's words, but instead urged Lily to leave quickly. After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Anna again, and turned around to leave.

Anna, who was sitting on the ground, saw this scene. First, his face suddenly darkened, and then he laughed softly, stretched out his hand to pat his chest, and said with a hint of ridicule in his soft and charming voice: "I originally thought that the well-known Lord in Loland Continent is a true gentleman. I didn't expect that I was wrong." After she finished speaking, she got up from the ground without hesitation and glanced at Aturi. Seeing that he didn't turn around, I bit him, then quickly turned around and ran into the passage for people in the arena to pass, and disappeared.

Anna was decisive. Seeing that Arturi wouldn't accept her trick, she left without any hesitation.

Aturi in front did not answer, but his footsteps stopped. Lily suppressed her thoughts and walked towards him. He tilted his head slightly. A small half of her perfect profile was exposed, her face was slightly raised, and her eyes were half-squinted, looking from Lily's point of view. His eye sockets were unusually deep, and half of his eyes that looked like blue sea water were blocked by his eyelids: "Let me tell you a secret. Don't stay with stupid people for too long, you will get infected. Madam, you see, I am actually happy to be with a fool now. The slaves had a great time chatting!"

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his chin was raised slightly. Due to the upward movement, his originally slender neck was pulled into elegant lines. The rolled Adam's apple was sexy and charming. When he spoke, his voice was beautiful, as if there were musical notes dancing in his ears. Normally, coupled with his exquisite profile, it would be a very pleasing sight, but Lily's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and her heart was filled with anger.

"Sir, what do you mean?" He didn't know whether he was belittling Anna for being too stupid and that he would become stupid if he stayed with her for a long time, or he was saying that he was too stupid and he was infected after getting along with her. Before Lily, I thought that the Grand Duke was just scheming, but now it seems that he is not too conciliatory.

Arturi did not answer her words and returned to his previous cold appearance. However, the dagger in his hand that had just stabbed Anna was thrown away by him and fell to the ground with a 'clang'. He frowned. Although he didn't show any disgust, his body movements were very obvious. This could hurt someone more than directly criticizing someone for being dirty. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands slowly, as if just now He was too close to Anna, as if he was contaminated with something dirty.

Anna asked him to borrow the dagger before and he refused, but now he threw the dagger to the ground. Lily didn't want to talk to him. Anyway, this Archduke Aturi was not of any help to her mission. Today, because of him, After finding a clue, Lily will try to stay away from him after this date. Anyway, he won't stay in Nore for long. By then, he will return to the territory and there will be no connection between the two of them. She won't need to please him.

Leon, who had sent a group of nobles behind, quickly followed him. He missed the good show before. When he came up now, he found that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He glanced at Lily carefully, with doubts in his eyes.

Lily told him about the slave girl's plea to Aturi. Leon listened and laughed softly, his expression looking a little happy:

"Miss Roman is truly a saint of the Temple of Light, with a kind heart." He first praised Lily, and then spoke again: "It's just that in the arena, if she really wants to replace her father, the slave owner will be very angry about it. I'm glad, there aren't many women in the arena, and it's more likely to arouse the excitement of everyone watching."

The fight between the beauty and the beast will further arouse the bloodthirsty desire in the hearts of those who come to watch. The audience's love is a guarantee that the arena is popular, and the slave owners will not disagree.

This matter can obviously be solved by the slave owner, but he just lurked here to ask Archduke Aturi for help. The smile on Leon's lips became a little deeper:

"There are too many people who want to be friends with adults. Miss Roman should know. They will always be like this." He pronounced the word 'she' instead of 'he'. Lily also knew Anna's intention. She It was too obvious. She didn't mean to hide it at all. Lily didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. She didn't care who Aturi wanted to be friends with, so she nodded.

Leon didn't speak loudly. Aturi looked back at him. He quickly stopped the smile on his face and returned to his gentle look before. He just winked at Lily and followed Aturi respectfully.

The location of the arena is still the same place where Aturi stayed yesterday, but it has been rearranged and surrounded by flowers, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

The attendants waited respectfully for Aturi to enter. He sat down, Lily was still sitting next to him. When he followed Arturi into the arena, he clearly didn't see how many guards he had brought with him. But now that he entered the arena, there were several guards outside the door of the VIP room. A guard in armor guarded the door tightly, blocking out several nobles who wanted to come in and say hello.

Aturi sat motionless. When his loyal butler Leon saw someone, he naturally went out to socialize. The attendants stood in the corner like stone sculptures. The loud horns and drums soon sounded in the arena. One of them was holding a shield in his hand and wearing a hooded shirt. A tall and strong man with disheveled hair stood behind the iron gate. As the horn sounded, the iron gate was moved away and he rushed out from behind the iron gate. Holding the shield in his hand, he started running around the field. The hair flew with his running movements, and he let out an unexplained howl. This cry aroused the enthusiasm of everyone in the arena, and many people stood up. He also started shouting desperately.

An iron cage containing a lion was pushed out and pushed to the iron door. Several strong men holding weapons opened the cage door, and the lion lying inside suddenly jumped out of the cage. Several strong men held it down in time and untied the things originally wrapped around its head. Come, someone took a knife and stabbed the lion's butt hard. The lion was enraged and let out a roar that was not inferior to that of the strong man before. Then several strong men pushing the cage quickly retreated behind the gate. The gate was very It was about to fall, locking the man and the lion in the arena.

The venue was filled with a tense and fierce atmosphere. Lily received the memory of the original owner and had some understanding of the fighting beast. Almost one life of the slaves and beasts sent here would die in every battle. , in order to be watched by nearly ten thousand people in the field, these slaves and beasts who are sent into the field will be hungry before going on the field. Until the moment before going on the field, the slaves will get a lot of food from the hands of the slave owners. Once they win, If you are lucky, you can escape from this place. If you lose, you will naturally die in the mouth of a hungry beast.

This place was full of blood and violence, and Lily gradually felt unable to sit still. Aturi turned around and stared at her face that was trying to remain calm:

"You seem very upset about this."

"Yes. Sir, I'm not interested in fighting in the arena. Is there anything important you have to do with me today?" Lily was upset. The shouts from the opposite side and the roar of the beast below made her a little uneasy. rather.

A man and a beast in the field below quickly came together, and the lion's ferocious claws and claws were revealed. The slave's body was soon covered in blood, but the strong man did not give in. Faced with the desire for survival, he burst out with more energy than the beast. With ferocious anger, he allowed the lion to grab his upper body. He bit the lion's ear like crazy. The lion roared loudly. He grabbed his shield and hit the thing's head hard.

"It's nothing important. It's just that the wife of the Roman family is very eager to know the progress of our date. She has already sent someone over to ask if I like you." As he said this, his eyes gradually became focused. Doubts seemed to flash through his blue eyes: "Count Roman seems to take this matter very seriously, so my refusal may bring some unnecessary trouble to the lady. My butler suggested that I can reconnect with you. Let’s go on a date and tell Mr. and Mrs. Roman about the result.” He said it a little seriously, although when he mentioned the word ‘date’, his expression was so cold that he didn’t look like a gentleman dating a girl at all, but rather calm. Overdone: "I haven't done any in-depth research on how to get along with women, but we had a date here yesterday. I thought you might prefer a more familiar place, so I came here again."

"Count Roman once told me that this is a fascinating place. Don't you like it?"

Lily was speechless by his question. She originally thought that Arturi had some purpose for asking her out, but she was not arrogant enough to think that this man suddenly fell in love with her after getting along with her yesterday. Only then did he want to ask her out again. After all, there was no sign of being immersed in love in this man's eyes. He was as calm as if he had no emotions at all, as if women had no attraction to him.

She just instinctively thought that Aturi had dug two holes and set up two traps to ask her yesterday. She thought that Aturi had discovered something and wanted to find out what was different about her.

Hearing his incredible answer, Lily suddenly collapsed on the chair and was speechless. He was not joking. It could be seen from his expression that he was telling the truth. He did not bother to lie to himself. His pride was not as superficial as Anna's before, but he didn't have to. Lie to yourself.

"Thank you for your understanding, but I cannot rely on the help of adults to get through my parents' difficulties. I will explain it clearly to my parents after I go back today. I am really sorry for the trouble I have caused." Lily thought of the original owner. In his memory, it was indeed the Roman couple's passionate intention to use their daughter to hook up with the Grand Duke, and they even used all their means to do so.

The arena is the favorite place for most people in the imperial capital, especially the nobles. The desperate fights between slaves here are considered by the nobles to be the most interesting thing to watch after dinner. Entering the arena to watch games has become a new trend in the imperial capital in recent years. In terms of gameplay, Count Roman probably wanted to please Arturi at first, so he tried his best to arrange this date.

Aturi stared at her quietly for a while, and Lily didn't dodge his gaze. She saw her reflection clearly reflected in his pupils. The two looked at each other for a while, and Aturi suddenly smiled softly. When he looked up, he seemed to rarely smile like this. Although this was the second time Lily looked at him, he was not an enthusiastic and outgoing person. When he smiled, he looked like a reserved and elegant nobleman, with the corners of his mouth raised just right, neither It would make people feel too rude, and it would not make people feel that he is very close, full of a sense of distance, but he is different now. He is smiling so much that his eyes seem to have ripples, revealing a few white ones. With his straight teeth, he moved closer to Lily, and his faint lemon-like fresh smell rushed into Lily's nose just like the strong feeling he gave people.

"Do you think I'm threatening you with Guy Ritchie's medical book?" he asked, his face very close to Lily. From an outsider's perspective, this posture seemed as if the two were preparing for an intimate kiss next moment. They were standing at the door. Leon, who was talking to several nobles, turned his head inadvertently. When he saw this, his face was obviously surprised. There was a backrest behind the chair Lily was sitting on. She instinctively wanted to hide from Arturi's approach, but she was so tall. But the back of the chair made it impossible for her to dodge, so she could only subconsciously turn her face away. Arturi's warm breath blew beside her ear, and he lifted a few strands of soft hair and flicked it on her face, as if a butterfly had landed on her cheek. It caused a slight itch, and she resisted the urge to reach out. Feeling the urge to scratch his face, Arturi continued:

"Madam, it doesn't matter to me whether you have a secret or not. Look, even if you have a secret, if I want it, you can't resist it. If I don't want it, what does it have to do with me if you have a secret?" He His voice was gentle and elegant, and his words were spoken in a leisurely manner, but the domineering tone in them was not reduced by his gentle tone: "So, what's the use of having Guy Ritchie's medical books? That's just my sincere thought. It’s just a gift for you!”

He was from the Aturi family and was the Grand Duke of Aturi of this generation. What Lily thought was coercion was nothing like that in his opinion. (To be continued ~^~)
