Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 242 Uta

The slave business is one of the pillar industries of Blizzard City. The major slave merchants in the Luying Empire have raised a large number of slave hunting teams in the Northland, specializing in capturing slaves.

The trolls, ice giants, and demihumans of the three major races of the ice field are hot commodities in the slave market.

There are also some rare small ethnic groups, such as the little people who are less than one foot in the cage and have transparent wings like dragonflies, they are "flower elves". They are not low in intelligence, and are good at some simple magic of cultivating flowers. They are often treated as pets and kept in the back gardens of those great nobles.

There are also dwarves, lizardmen, cryptmen, half-elves, and snow girls. As long as they are not human beings, all kinds of humanoid intelligent races are the targets of slave traders to arrest and sell them.

These rare slaves are very popular in the upper class of Lu Ying.

Blizzard City has specially planned a large market for slave trading, which is located in the East City.

It was a huge building with a wine-red roof, like a train station.

When Su Lun came, it was the busiest time for market transactions in the evening.

There are slave shops with various signs on both sides of the street. There is a large iron cage at the door of each shop, which contains some "samples" for display.

The price of the goods is hung on the door.

"Boutique Asians ￡ 10-20W lisuo / piece, large quantity favorably"

"Adult giant £800,000 per person"

"Rare Snow Maiden starting at £5 million/piece"

This is the place of origin, and the prices marked on these labels are much cheaper than those in Luyinga Durant Port.

After all, the damage rate in the process of slave transportation is also very high.

Crossing the sea and transporting it to Lu Ying's territory will encounter a series of uncertain factors such as storms, plagues, and pirates, and there is also the possibility of annihilation of the entire army. In the end, it is very good to have a survival rate of 50 to 60%.

In addition to the shops in the market, there are also some retail stalls of the neutral adventure group and the slave hunting team. Those scattered slaves were chained up in a row by the magic chains, led like livestock and sold on the street.

The streets are full of people, here you can choose first-hand, the most affordable and the best slaves. Well-dressed rich lords and wives are wearing gas masks, choosing their favorite slaves and bargaining.

The aborigines on the ice sheet seldom take a bath, and the animal skins they wear have a strong smell. Especially a rough guy with thick hair like a troll who can't take a bath in his life, he can smell a pungent smell from a long distance. The slaves did not have a toilet, and they ate and drank in cages, so that the air in the slave market was filled with a strange smell.

Su Lun was walking on the street, looking for shops selling Asians.

If possible, he would not mind buying slaves from the Dalu tribe. But there are too many slaves here, and it is impossible for him to buy them with his financial ability. What's more, there are still a steady stream of slaves being captured every day. In this world of the jungle, buying and selling cannot solve fundamental problems.

Su Lun looked at many shops, and he wanted to find someone who could speak common language and communicate. Just like the elder Pasu who the Dalu tribe prophesied to him last time.

but not found.

Finally, after walking for a long time, they came to the large slave trading area in the market.

When I just walked over, I was watching the stewards of several large slave trading houses chatting at the warehouse door.

Even if you don't listen deliberately, you can capture some information.

"Damn it, several good slave catchers from our Chamber of Commerce who went to the Silent Forest have been attacked recently. They have caught a lot of good slaves, but they let the slaves go!"

"It should be "Fist of Justice" Hodge. I heard that guy is running some kind of resistance army to fight against the slave trade. I heard that that guy united some foreign races to resist slave capture on the ice field. The slave catchers of major trading houses were frequently attacked, and many times it was those people who were causing trouble. "

"The damn guy, he is a good bounty hunter, he is not a good bounty hunter, and he is involved in the slave business! This is a formal business allowed by the law of the empire! Oh, those guys who scolded 'slave business is shameful', do you know that we created for the empire? How much tax did you pay? Without us, the empire's fleet would be at least 20% less! 20%!"

"Yes, business is getting worse and worse."

"."

Su Lun walked over.

A sharp-eyed steward with a goatee saw him, and immediately greeted him with a smile, "Guest, do you want to buy slaves? Oh, you are right, our 'Sun Slave Firm' has the most complete variety of slaves of the highest quality!"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Lun's clothes, and reminded him vaguely, "Sir, how many slaves do you need?"

Here is bulk wholesale, not small business.

Su Lun had an impression of the "Sun Slave Firm", one of the largest slave firms in the imperial capital. The batch of slaves bought in Kadurant Port before happened to be sold by this firm.

He threw out a tip of a silver coin and said, "Show me. I want to buy some demihumans."

The goatee steward looked at Su Lun's extravagant spending, and his face was happy: "Okay. Sir, please come here, there are some samples in the shop. If you are not satisfied, let's go to the warehouse, there are more."

Su Lun followed in silence.

There are a lot of slaves in the big trading house, like a farm, the slaves are sorted and locked in rows of iron cages.

In order to facilitate customers to inspect the goods, many slaves, especially female slaves, only wore thin animal skins for display. They were shivering in the cold wind, and their skin showed bruises from frostbite.

"Sir, do you have any requirements for demihumans? For example, type, skin color, age, gender, height?"

The goatee steward grinned at Su Lun with a professional smile all the time.

When inquiring, he pointed to the Cage Asian and introduced: "If you want to buy a maid, I recommend buying a deer tribe. They are relatively docile and easy to tame. If you want a more pleasant life experience, rabbit and fox species Asian people are even better. I dare to guarantee the reputation of the firm, what we sell are all first-hand products, and absolutely no one has touched them! This is not comparable to the inferior products outside who don’t know how many hands they are.”

Su Lun had no expression on his face, and asked, "Are there any demihumans who can speak a little common language?"

The goatee steward showed a troubled look: "Oh~ that's rare. Only a very small number of demihumans can speak a common language. Usually they are not easy to catch."

Su Lun said in a rich and wealthy tone, "The price is not a problem."

Hearing this, Goatee's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'm not sure either. Or, let's go to the warehouse to have a look?"

Su Lun nodded silently.

Su Lun followed the manager around to the shop, and passed through a tightly guarded iron gate to a large underground warehouse.

The lights are very dim, and there are iron cages in sight, most of which are covered with canvas.

Su Lun felt the flame of the soul, there were probably hundreds of people.

Hearing someone coming down, there was a rustling sound from the cage.

There was a "crash".

The steward greeted the workers behind him, opened the canvas of an iron cage, and introduced: "These were just brought back by the hunting team the day before yesterday, and most of them are very precious snow fox and wolf subhumans. This is the real top-quality product." "

Su Lun took a look. These demihumans were almost indistinguishable from humans, except for the furry ears on the top of the head and the tail behind them. They looked cute. Most of them are in their teens to twenties.

But he also saw pairs of eyes full of hatred.

At this time, the worker also threw some black bread into it. There were more than a dozen people in a cage, and no one looted them. An older demihuman picked up the bread, broke it into pieces, and distributed it to everyone. That small piece of bread is only about one-tenth of a normal person's daily amount.

The steward keenly caught Su Lun's gaze and explained: "As you know, sir, the demi-humans who have just been captured are very wild. Don't feed them too much, otherwise they will have the strength to toss around and it will be very troublesome."

In fact, he had known for a long time that there should be no demihumans who could speak the common language in this batch.

Even if there is, they will hide it and will never communicate with humans.

The reason to lure Su Lun down is to show him the good stuff.

If it can be sold here, relatively speaking, the profit will be higher.

Naturally, Su Lun also knew about this problem. He was thinking about how to choose someone who could speak the common language.

Ben thought of trying again with the only sentence in Daru he knew like last time. Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a burst of "cracking" iron chains breaking in the iron cage in the distance. It seemed that in a certain cage, a beast that had been locked up suddenly woke up and was struggling violently.

In perception, the fire of the soul is higher than all the demihumans here, probably equivalent to the appearance of a third-tier professional.

Su Lun cast a puzzled look, "That's it?"

The steward showed a bit of embarrassment, shrugged and said, "That's a demi-human just caught yesterday, full of wildness and fierceness. According to the hunting team, she seems to have slipped through the net when capturing this demi-human tribe. Followed all the way and came to Blizzard City. Yesterday I sneaked into the warehouse and wanted to rescue these slaves. Hehe... I almost let her succeed."

"."

Su Lun naturally sensed that the warehouse seemed to be laxly guarded, but in the darkness, there were actually fourth-tier guards lurking.

When he heard it, he became interested, "Show me."

Among the Dalu tribe, the stronger the strength, the greater the possibility of being able to speak the common language.

The steward seemed a little reluctant, and led him to the iron box in the corner.

Lifted the canvas, and saw that it was not a person, but a huge beast. Like a fox or a wolf, the snow-white fur looks noble, but it is full of blood. The rune chain pierced through the snow fox's limbs, and blood flowed horizontally.

But even so, she still struggled, trying to break free from the chain.

Seeing someone coming, she stared fiercely at Su Lun and the two outside the cage, and let out a terrifying roar from her throat.

The murderous look in her eyes made the manager's scalp numb, and he explained: "I don't know why she has been able to maintain the animal form, it should be a very rare species. In order to catch her, several people in our firm died."

After a pause, he said to Su Lun again: "Honorable guest, let's look at other things. This kind of slave domestication will be very troublesome. If you buy it, it may be dangerous to you."

Su Lun ignored the words, walked to the iron cage, and asked, "Do you know the common language? If you do, I will buy you."

As soon as he finished speaking, as expected, the snow fox in the cage only roared in response to him.

Seeing this, Su Lun didn't say much. He turned his head to glance at the steward, and suddenly said, "You're a little sleepy."

The steward happened to be looking at the light in Su Lun's eyes. Before his head could react, his pupils dilated for a moment, as if he had stayed there.

This is visual hypnosis.

With Su Lun's current mental power, it is very easy to hypnotize an ordinary person.

He didn't bother with the manager anymore, turned his head to the snow fox in the cage, and said, "\u0026*%ф%￥ё￥"

This is the only Daru language he knows.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the snow fox immediately became quiet.

Works great as always.

Those blue eyes looked at the human being in front of him in disbelief.

Su Lun didn't delay, and said again: "If you can understand the common language, just nod, I have no malice towards you. I know Elder Pasu, if he is still alive."

The white fox obviously understood. She looked at Su Lun, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly.

Sure enough, I understand!

Su Lun was overjoyed, but knew it was not the time to chat.

The guards lurking in the distance have discovered something.

The steward also returned to his senses from a momentary trance, as if he didn't remember what happened just now, he patted his head, "Oh, what did I just say? Oh, sir, are we going to see something else?"

Su Lun pointed to the snow fox that had calmed down in the cage and said, "I think this one is good, how did you sell it?"

The steward looked embarrassed: "But."

Su Lun shook his head and said, "Just ask for a price, and I will be responsible for anything that happens."

When the steward heard this, he didn't say much. The businessman only cares about profit, and his mind immediately became active: "This is a rare breed that can be completely animalized. If it is in the Imperial Capital Auction House, I think she can sell at least 10 million lisuo!"

This is obviously a random bid.

Su Lun doesn't want to be taken advantage of, besides, he doesn't have much money now, "I'm interested in her because she is a rare breed. The price is three million! This is already ten times the price of ordinary slaves." !"

A shrewd look flashed in the steward's eyes, and he pretended to be embarrassed, "Sorry, I can't make up my mind. I have to ask the boss. Of course, if you can pay five million, I think I'll sell it, and the boss won't." won't blame me"

Su Lun knew that there was still room for bargaining, but he didn't want to waste time, "Okay!"

As he spoke, he took out two bags of coins from the storage ring and handed them over, "Take the money."

The steward didn't expect the deal to be concluded so simply, and secretly scolded himself for asking the price too low.

But the money had already been handed to him, so he had no choice but to take it, nodded, and said: "Sir, this slave is yours now."

Not long after, the slave trading company sent people to move the iron cage wrapped in canvas to the warehouse of the "Owl Hotel" rented by Su Lun.

Waiting for people to leave, Su Lun lifted the canvas and saw the white fox with a weak face in the cage.

With such a serious injury, he had been starved for two days, and the viciousness at the firm just now was obviously a forced act with the last bit of strength.

Su Lun opened the iron cage, and then undid the rune chains that pierced her limbs. There was toxin on the iron chain that prevented the wound from healing, and because of the previous struggle, it was bloody and bloody. When the iron chain was pulled out, another big puddle of thick blood flowed out.

The white fox looked even weaker.

Su Lun showed him his ring engraved with the coat of arms of the Isaac family. While dismantling the iron chain, he introduced himself: "My name is Su Lun. I need your help. Even better, the heir of the Isaac family asked me to bring a few words."

After saying these words, the last tense expression in the white fox's eyes relaxed, and she spoke in a very weak voice: "My name is Uta, and I am the druid of the 'White Wolf Tribe'. "

Su Lun nodded, indicating that she needn't say more.

But looking at her four or five meter white fox body, she frowned.

It's not very convenient to enter the hotel like this.

He asked, "By the way, can you change back to human form?"

As soon as the words came out, the white fox wanted to say something, his eyes dimmed, and he suddenly fainted.

Then the huge animal body shrunk visibly with the naked eye, and the snow-white hair receded like a tide, turning into a naked human figure. This is a female demihuman with short snow-white hair and a red inverted triangle totem on her face.

Su Lun sighed slightly as he looked at Yuta who was huddled in the corner of the iron cage.

Too weak, after all, could not hold on.

The hotel warehouse is cold and not the place to treat injuries. He took out a cloak, wrapped it around the white-haired girl, and hugged her.

After treating the blood in the cage with medicine, he carried the man up the stairs of the hotel.

Then came to room 303 on the third floor.

There is heater in the room, very warm.

After entering the house, Su Lun put him on the bed.

The blood from the wound was still bleeding, and soon a large area was soaked red on the snow-white bed sheet.

If it is not treated as soon as possible, this injury may kill her.

Without delay, Su Lun took out the medicine for treating the wound, cleaned her wound carefully, and then the eight-armed spider lance manipulated the surgical instrument to quickly suture the wound.

He is multitasking, and one person is equivalent to a whole medical team. A not too tricky surgical operation was basically resolved after half an hour.

Uta was still having a fever, so he injected another healing potion.

Dalu and humans are completely different races, and Su Lun is not sure whether human medicine is useful.

But after a few minutes of observation, the injury is improving, and it seems to be useful.

Su Lun dealt with the blood stains on the bed, and covered Uta with a quilt to cover up her graceful figure.

No wonder the Daru people are so sought after by rich people in the slave market, and there is nothing to criticize about their appearance and figure. Their limbs, waist and abdomen are all well-proportioned with power, and they do have a wild beauty that is different from human women.

However, Su Lun was also curious about what kind of demihuman this Uta was.

When treating the wound just now, I also saw that her hair color is that kind of high-end snow white, she has a pair of furry pointed ears, and there is also a very soft tail on the tailbone. Others are the same as human beings.

Su Lun wasn't sure if she was a fox or a wolf.

Hearing his breathing stabilized, he was completely relieved.

It was already dark outside the window, and night fell.

Snowflakes had accumulated a thick layer on the window sill, and looking out, one could see the orange lights in the opposite room and the blue smoke from the chimney.

It will take some time until Uta wakes up.

After finding the right person, Su Lun was no longer in a hurry.

He sat in front of the window and began to fiddle with the witch's hair.

The Eight-Armed Spider Lance took out the micro carving knife and began to carve runes.

Now that he has advanced to the third level, the untreated witch's hair is obviously not enough.

Just like killing the "poison frog" Bonn before, the silk thread is easily corroded and broken by the toxin.

He needs stronger strands.

Fortunately, after killing that guy, the almost complete "fourth-order water element law" was peeled off. After the rune was inscribed, the water element was wrapped, which was enough to increase the toughness of the hair several times. The next time I meet a Tier 4 professional, it won't break so easily.

"唰", "唰", "唰", "唰".

There was a crackling sound in the densely packed room.

Su Lun carved at a very fast speed.

Before engraving runes to increase toughness on the hair, it only took tens of meters a day.

Now that I have awakened to multi-tasking, the efficiency of carving has increased by dozens of times.

Not long after, he produced a large amount of rune hair.

In the second half of the night, he still felt that the carving was too boring, so while he was tossing his hair with a few spider spears, he also got out the puppets and mechanical materials he bought from the black market during the day, and started to tinker with his new puppets.

[Cold Iron Ore], a specialty of the Northland Ice Field, is a rare material that can carry ice runes of level four or higher. With this thing, Su Lun can mass-produce a new type of [Frost Doll]. At that time, once this kind of puppet army takes shape, it will spit out frost all over the sky, and his puppet army's lack of control will also make up a lot of shortcomings.

There is also the [Alchemy Golem] researched by teacher Sereya. With the high-level magic core, he can also start to study it.

Su Lun bought Uta, but he didn't know that a team of people in Blizzard City were also staring at the Asian slaves.

"What, that Druid was bought?"

"Yes. Just half an hour ago."

"Damn it! It's hard to find a tribe with druids. Seeing that they are about to go to sea, they disappeared again?"

"No, boss, I haven't seen you yet. The man lives in the 'Owl Hotel', and the Naya slaves are also there."

"Keep an eye on it! Once that person takes you out of the city, notify me immediately. This 'rescue plan' cannot fail again."

"Yes, boss."
