My summons are weird
Chapter 16 16. Argonians with a spirit of resistance
"Dhaka, my servant got sick and died during the trip, now I want to buy a slave, do you know where to go?"
Dhaka and Lu Yu clinked another glass, and he was so dizzy that he saw double images.
"Slave...slave?" Dhaka stammered several times before continuing, "You came just in time."
"Not long ago, hiccup... a group of slaves were transported from the southern border and the western border, and they just arrived in the royal city in the past few days."
"Outside Wangcheng, on the high ground next to the racetrack in the western suburbs, they only sell it at night."
The drunk Dhaka smiled, and all the creases on his face were squeezed together.
"I heard that among the slaves who came this time, there are quite a few beautiful ones...you know."
Lu Yu didn't intend to answer the conversation, but just called the waiter and paid the bill.
Seeing Daka lying on the table and falling asleep, the waiter smiled and told Lu Yu not to worry.
"It's never closed. People drink until dawn every day. If they really occupy other guests' seats, we will send them to the room to rest."
Lu Yu nodded. He was very grateful to this adventurer who gave him a lot of information.
After walking out of the tavern, Lu Yu asked Lulutis: "How much is it for you to buy a slave?"
"It depends on what kind of slave it is. Good-looking ones and strong ones are always in high demand."
"Based on this basis, mixed-race slaves tend to be slightly more expensive, because they conform to human aesthetics and generally look good."
"If there are no special circumstances, if you go in with a silver coin, you will be eligible to choose those good slaves."
Hearing that one silver coin is enough, and it just so happens that it is impossible to rent a house at this point, Lu Yu decided to go to the slave market that Dhaka mentioned.
Before setting off, Lu Yu casually bought a robe that could cover his figure at a street stall.
With the cover of the robe and the cover of the night, Lulutis can finally run out of the backpack to get some air.
She climbed along Lu Yu's waist and came to the back of Lu Yu's shoulder.
In this position, she can clearly see the scenery outside.
"Fresh air, a less depressing space, and the exuberant popularity around here..."
As soon as Lulutis came out, she became emotional.
"You have to hide well, if someone sees you, we will be out of luck." Lu Yu reminded.
Lulutis fully agreed, saying that if something happened, she would quickly stay away from Lu Yu, and then find a chance to meet again.
After coming out of the west gate of Wangcheng, Lu Yu, bathed in the moonlight, kept looking for the location of the racetrack along the roadside signs.
At the beginning, Lu Yu was also worried about getting lost and safety issues, but along the way he saw many knights patrolling both sides of the road.
According to Dhaka, these knights are all direct descendants of the Kingdom of Yas. They are all elites from the Knights of the Kingdom, and they are not in the same dimension as those trained by ordinary nobles in terms of morality and talent.
With them leading the patrol, the vicinity of Wangcheng has always been peaceful.
About an hour later, Lu Yu saw a large number of parked carriages by the side of the main road.
Looking forward from the position of the drinking horse, there are dense torches beside the small forest not far away, and even crystals filled with magic elements are used as lighting equipment.
After crossing a small stream, Lu Yu walked along the torches on both sides of the road.
Vulgar scolding, angry roaring, frivolous teasing, women's coquettishness, painful howling...
The moment he stepped into the slave market, the decibels of these voices were at full blast.
At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to be in a vegetable market during a festival, and his head hurt from all the noise.
Chaos was his first impression of this place.
Under the dim light, there is a shadow on everyone's face here, as the light flickers, it keeps twisting and changing, as if a villain is dancing on their face.
Here, luxuriously dressed people often wear masks, stand reservedly in the distance, and order their servants to come forward to bid.
The ordinary adventurers gathered carelessly in front of some disheveled slave cages, enjoying this free entertainment.
As for ordinary people with lower spending power, they have no ability to appear here.
Before entering the market, Lu Yu was asked by the knights guarding the entrance to show silver coins to prove his purchasing ability as an admission ticket.
Most of the slaves held in metal cages lowered their faces, unwilling to meet anyone's gaze.
However, this avoidance is obviously not welcomed by the onlookers.
After a reprimand to the slave trader, a long stick was thrust into the cage, and it struck the disheveled slave behind him who was trying to save himself from humiliation.
After a few more times, the inescapable slave finally brushed away his hair with his shackled hands, revealing his somewhat hollow eyes.
When he was a child, he saw adults often beat the ground with a wooden stick when they were catching piglets. From time to time, he stepped forward and whipped the piglets in the free range, scaring it into a corner so that he could catch it.
Lu Yu stopped and took a look. It was a good-looking girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and no trace of mixed race.
The onlookers were obviously very satisfied with the girl's performance, and couldn't help laughing.
The harsh laughter made the girl tremble with fear.
Seeing Lu Yu standing still, Lulutis sighed.
"You don't need to tell me, I know."
Lu Yu seemed to know what Lulutis was thinking. He looked at the smiling faces around him, and then at the slaves in the cage, trying to suppress the tremor in his heart.
"I'm not a saint, let alone a god. I can't save every one of them."
"Even if I can save them, I can't protect them."
"I was mentally prepared when I came."
Lu Yu only had a boat ticket in his hand, and he didn't dare to say that his boat was solid and reliable.
But at least the person who gets this ticket will not be locked in a cage, sold again in the form of goods, and will no longer be looked back and forth with malicious eyes.
Only one.
He will encounter many such things in his future travels, so he must deal with his emotional problems calmly.
After calming down, Lu Yu pulled down the cloth covering his face.
There are no twists and turns in the transactions in the slave market, one hand pays and the other hand delivers goods.
It is also simple to inspect the goods, just tell the corresponding slave trader, and he will send someone into a special cage to lead the slave out, and let you personally confirm it.
Of course, if you feel dirty, they can do it for you.
Next to Lu Yu, a sub-human male of the orc-ear tribe was being checked by the client.
This man, who was obviously an aristocratic servant, held a spar emitting lavender light and looked around on the male beast-eared man.
This demi-human with tawny fur and close to pure blood was very muscular, so the squire punched him hard.
Seeing that the demi-human just snorted softly and showed no signs of standing still, he returned to his master with great satisfaction and reported the situation.
Not long after, the subordinate came back again and ordered.
"Remove his shackles and iron chains, and take him to the nearby martial arts arena."
"Our master bought his bravery. If it can't be used, he should continue to be an exhibit in the cage."
Lu Yu noticed that when the man said that he was going to throw him back into the iron cage, Yaren's body was shaking.
"Guests have fancy goods. We not only have good warriors here, but also a few good magicians to choose from."
Because of the subordinate's departure, Lu Yu, who stayed here for a long time, became the target of the slave trader's accosting.
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't turn around and leave immediately, the experienced slave trader immediately realized that this was a potential buyer.
He then asked, "Does the guest want a man or a woman?"
"There are not many men left. There are quite a few lords along the way. After arriving at the king's city, the nobles also bought a lot."
"There are many options for women. If you only look at the appearance, it will definitely meet your various needs."
Lu Yu knew that the fat slave trader in front of him was trying to confirm his preference.
Lu Yu took out a silver coin.
"Let me see what a silver coin can buy from you."
The chubby businessman doesn't pick any customers, as long as someone is willing to buy, then he is his honored customer.
He left a follower behind and led Lu Yu to an open space not far away.
The sound of chains colliding on the track that was originally a racetrack continued.
Slave merchants from all over the world temporarily store their goods here. They will first select slaves that are easy to sell, and sell them while they are in good condition.
And the remaining backlog of goods will be packaged and sold to those who need cheap slave labor when they leave a trading area.
The fat businessman led Lu Yu to his group of slaves, and waved lightly to his subordinates.
Under the urging of the fat businessman's magician, the group of shackled commodities stood up one by one, looking at Lu Yu as if they were being inspected.
There is a little hope in some people's eyes, as if they think that no matter where they go, it is better than staying here.
And some people are no different from the goods that Lu Yu saw before, attracting attention in the cage and attracting customers for slave traders.
There is no light in their eyes.
Lu Yu didn't think he was the savior, nor did he plan to be the savior, but...
When you have an opportunity to return someone from the abyss to the sun, you should always want to give this opportunity to the most resistant person.
At least he is resisting, he is using his actions to protest against this fate.
If you give in and are as numb as everyone else...
Just want a body, Lu Yu can find more.
Lu Yu glanced back and forth at the slave, looking for the one he liked.
"Oberto, let's keep your defective products. If you sell this kind of mixed-breed and faulty inferior species to customers, you won't be afraid to disturb the big shots and take your business brand?"
Lu Yu was distressed, and there seemed to be some small episodes near the "shelves" at the other end.
An old man in a red robe who seemed to be the manager of the slave market gave a lesson to the tall and thin man named Oberto.
Behind the old man, a man with long silver hair was dragged by two guards to the side of Oberto's booth.
Oberto looked embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "This... disturbed the big shot, where did this start?"
"Your Argonian lost control of the 'Dragon Transformation' just now. If it wasn't for her being weak, the Earl's... umh... the entourage of the honored guest would have killed her."
"Don't sell this uncontrolled monster. Even if you want to sell it, don't hide the information. If something happens, you and I will be held accountable!"
"Oberto sold the goods, and the inspection was not strict, and he will be punished once." The old man announced loudly to the surroundings.
After speaking, he stayed where he was and had a conversation with Oberto before leading the guards away.
Looking at the bereaved Oberto, and the details of Oberto waving his followers to come forward just now, it is not difficult to see that he suffered a big loss.
Lulutis reminded Lu Yu after the old man left: "The old man just now is a third-level magician, and he should be the highest-level magician here today."
Lu Yu's focus was not on the old magician.
"Argonians, hybrids with dragon blood?"
When Lu Yu came to this world, he hadn't seen many weird and strange things. He thought that creatures like dragons would take a long time to be lucky enough to see, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to see Yalong people here today.
Not only Lu Yu, but also the other guests gathered around Oberto.
They didn't want to buy this Argonian, they just wanted to see what this guy who was about to get out of control looked like.
When he got closer, Lu Yu realized that the Yalong was a girl.
Lu Yu couldn't use the knowledge he learned from Lulutis today to judge the proportion of this Yalong's blood.
There are reddish-brown sharp horns on her head, and the color of her skin looks like rose brown at first glance, but it seems to be mixed with some light gray, and the overall look has a strange beauty.
This beauty should be related to her blood.
The well-proportioned body proportions made her heart-wrenching as she lay on the ground gasping for breath.
Some people dared to step forward to brush her messy hair and admire her appearance, but they were blocked by the irritated Oberto.
Oberto said to the onlookers: "Since the managers have said that this cargo is dangerous, I can only lock her up again and destroy it later."
"If you want to buy other goods, please tell my servants that today's shopping fee will be reduced, and it will be regarded as compensation for this episode."
After finishing speaking, the magic power in Oberto's hands surged, restraining the Argonian who was about to struggle, pulling her silver-white hair, and dragging her to the back of the shelves made of cages.
Lu Yu thought for a while, and chose to follow.
"Since you want to die so much, then I will grant your wish."
"When the goods in Wangcheng are sold out, I will sell you to the garrison in the east of Wangcheng, and let you be the bait to lure monsters."
"You like to bite, so let me know what it's like to be bitten."
"puff."
A large piece of flesh spit out from the Argonian's mouth, and it hit Oberto's face.
The missing bone and flesh had come back to light, but his master probably didn't want to see it.
The Argonian didn't smile because of Oberto's embarrassment, but stared at him with vicious eyes.
Oberto's blood surged, he pulled out the magic equipment he carried with him, and under the surge of magic power, he was already planning to destroy this treasure that he had spent a lot of money to get back from another businessman.
I thought I could make a lot of money, but I didn't expect that not only would I lose money, but I would even be disqualified from the kingdom's slave market.
"etc."
Oberto's hand froze in mid-air, maintaining a weird posture about to release magic.
He turned his head and looked into the darkness not far away.
Lu Yu, who was covered in a robe, walked out slowly.
"It's not too late for you to kill her after I've seen the goods and think it's inappropriate."
