"I...can't walk."
The girl said with a wry smile, and it was obvious that strength was a burden to her. Alex asked, "Just say you want to or not want to. I have the ability to cure your 'disease'."
"……think."
"name."
"Chiyo."
Alex reached his hand in and gently touched her forehead. The chaotic imaginary power in her body instantly began to stabilize, and she fell asleep in a daze.
"Count them." Alex asked, "Are there any sub-humans?"
The original purpose cannot be forgotten.
"Yes, yes, yes, a silver-haired wolf-clan demihuman girl. Please come over." Alex walked over and looked at the timid girl with wolf ears and a wolf tail and asked her, "Name?"
"……moment."
Alex held out his hand and said, "At that moment, do you want to hold the future?"
"The future..." Setsuna looked at Alex in confusion, and finally clasped his hands tightly with confusion.
"It's too troublesome to look at them one by one." Alex gestured to count them and said, "Give me a total price for sub-human sub-species like this child."
"This is an astronomical figure..."
"Just tell me how much gold you want."
To Alex, gold is actually not valuable, and he can get a lot of it by just blowing up a planet.
"Oh~ You are really generous, sir." The slave trader gave a thumbs up and was about to start counting the money. At this moment, a voice came from the entrance.
"Wait a moment."
Alex looked back and saw a man with a shield in his hand, a cute bear-eared female demi-human, a cute blonde little loli, and a green-haired girl walking over and said, "I want to bid too."
This configuration.
Alex touched his chin, wondering if he was a perverted subhuman with a sexual fetish?
I just admire it. There really are warriors who cross species.
"How much does he offer?" The slave trader was about to greet the newcomer when Alex said directly, "I'll double it. That's it. Help me find a place to stay in the city and give them all new clothes. I'll include the extra money in the price."
Chapter 213 Arrival
"Ah, it's the Shield Hero, please buy me and let me leave this place."
"Mr. Brave, look at me!"
Wow, the demi-human slaves became more lively after this group of people came in. However...
The acting is a bit fake. These people are obviously not slaves, but people who are preparing to "marry" into a wealthy family as slaves. Obviously, the visitor did not even look at them for a second, and realized at a glance that these women had ulterior motives.
Is this a raccoon? Pretty cute. Alex looked at the four people coming over. The most eye-catching one was the raccoon, with fluffy brown hair and a well-proportioned body. He looked both cute and mature.
The other girl had blonde hair and looked very natural. Alex could tell that she was not a human, or even a subhuman, but a bird? Or a transformed chicken.
As for the last green-haired human girl, just ignore her.
"I have money too." The leading man stepped forward and said, "No matter how much it costs, I want any demi-human from Lulorona Village."
Alex felt that this man was slightly different from the others he had met in this world, but not much different. He had already seen that there was a slave-master relationship between this man and the women he brought with him - he could be said to be the master of these girls.
This kind of slave relationship is a bit like an enhanced version. In addition to control, power can also be shared with them.
"Lulorona Village?" Alex asked the slave trader, "Is there anything special about this place?"
"Mr. Distinguished Guest, please allow me to introduce you to this person. He is one of the Four Holy Warriors, the Shield Hero."
I don't know about a brave man, but can I consider him a warrior?
The slave trader rubbed his hands and introduced: "Lulorona Village is the territory of this brave man. According to the decree issued by Melomag for the brave man, the slaves in Lulorona Village are prohibited from trading. But the more it is prohibited, the more valuable the market will be. Led by Lulorona Village, the prices of all subhuman slaves have begun to rise wildly. So much so that many slave traders now say that any subhuman slaves are from Lulorona Village, so that the original selling price of 30 gold coins can be auctioned to hundreds of gold coins. You see, those fake slaves just now started to promote themselves as soon as they saw the brave man. After all, he is revered as a god in the eyes of many people. Of course, I am doing a serious business, and I will not talk nonsense about the place of origin."
The Shield Hero showed some dissatisfaction on his face. He obviously did not expect that the reason for the increase in slave prices was actually because of his actions. Alex looked at the Shield Hero curiously and said, "If it's a hero, he should be a super powerful person. If you want to buy it, why don't you use force to liberate all the slaves? With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to slaughter them all here."
The slave trader smiled awkwardly, and the Shield Hero looked at Alex and said, "Every world has its own rules. I can only protect the people in my own territory. Even if I kill him and take everyone away, the slave traders will only move underground and use more cruel and darker means to capture slaves. I will make money and trade everyone back through formal channels."
Alex shook his head and said, "You have superhuman abilities, but you are just an ordinary person who accepts these rules? The girls beside you look at you with love instead of hatred and fear. I want to remind you that the more you buy, the higher the price of subhuman slaves will be. High returns mean that slave traders are willing to take higher risks, even illegal risks, to capture or even hunt people from that village."
Alex hates slavery. If this world is connected to the universe, the company will definitely "build" this planet in the name of human rights, and other forces will have to applaud. The Republic of Beloberg is not unwilling to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, but whoever does not abolish slavery will be blacklisted and no diplomatic relations will be established. Just show your attitude.
A country that obtains technological exchanges and knowledge from the universe will surely develop rapidly and eliminate all those places where slavery remains.
Alex asked the slave trader, "Am I right?"
"Your Excellency is right." The slave trader replied with a wry smile, "I did hear some rumors that some nobles paid someone to 'customize' the subhuman slaves in Lulorona Village. Of course, my brave master."
He then turned to the Shield Hero and said, "You know, we are a large company doing chain business, and at least we have to abide by the law. You see, everything here complies with the slave management regulations promulgated by the kingdom. I dare not take this kind of work."
Several people showed angry expressions. Alex said, "Except for the people from that village, the territory of this brave man, please give me a price for the others."
"Well, Mr. VIP. Actually, our hero doesn't have much money right now. If you are willing to buy it at twice the market price, I am just doing business. The highest bidder wins."
"Then you can justifiably double the price in the future?" Alex said with a smile, "Be careful not to spend it when you have the chance to make money, sir."
There weren't many suitable subhuman slaves, and after deducting some fake slaves and those with bad intentions - the slave trader obviously treated Alex as a long-term customer and was quite honest in this regard. Apart from the three children I saw earlier, there were only eight left.
There was a pair of White Tiger siblings. The brother had some fighting ability and could fight in the arena, but the sister was physically weak. Alex looked at the brother and sister and was ready to lend a hand, but it turned out that they were from the village of Lulorona, and when they heard that the Shield Hero was also there, they didn't want to go with him at all.
"There are eleven of them in total, and the total price is 750 gold coins. The hotel and food are free gifts from me."
The Shield Hero and the others had not left yet and were still observing Alex. Alex took out a large bag of gold coins from the miniature space. This world also had paper money, but paper money was just an exchange voucher for gold coins, and gold coins were more circulated.
The slave trader took the bag of money, but couldn't lift it. He squatted on the ground and carefully counted out 750 coins. He returned the rest to Alex intact, and then took out something that looked like a sticker and said, "This is a slave contract. Just stick it on the slave's chest and they won't go against your will."
There were two obedient cat girls who had already opened their collars and exposed their chests. Alex glanced at them and asked, "Name."
"chocolate."
"vanilla."
One is black and the other is white. They are cat girls with twin ponytails. The former's voice sounds more energetic, while the latter seems a little taciturn. Although their hair and eye colors are different, the two cat girls seem to be twins and look very similar.
The black-haired catgirl Chocolate looked up at Alex and said, "Can I call you... Master?"
A pair of cat ears moved. Alex felt his soul was purified. He patted the kitten's head and said contentedly, "Call me sir."
Oh, forget it, master. If my family hears it, they will probably laugh at me.
He turned his head and said, "You don't need this kind of thing. Also, if you have the chance, change your career as soon as possible, sir."
…………
hostel.
Alex asked the children to take a bath and eat first, and looked at the medieval-style streets outside. The arena was still in full swing, and there were many people of all kinds on the streets. But Alex didn't feel that there were too many people in this world worthy of his attention.
"I always feel that life is a bit impetuous and lacks depth." Alex feels this way. There are many crises in this world, various hostile forces and wars, but bloodshed and wars have not sharpened many flowers of humanity, at least Alex doesn't feel it now. Everyone will subconsciously rely on the strong, such as the brave, and the brave also enjoy privileges as they should.
At most, gentle?
That's a common thing. Alex doesn't need it at all. Even if there is a positive Madonna, like Joan of Arc or something like that.
Or someone with some courage who dreams of unifying the world is also fine.
[Ambition] Alex also wants it. There are many people with ambition, but not many can take actions that match their ambition.
"Master, it's time to eat."
The door was not closed. Liuli, a fallen noble who had changed into a maid outfit, walked to the door and spoke with her head down, using an unfamiliar address.
She knew her fate as a slave, even without a contract. However, she wanted to go with Alex from the bottom of her heart. She would serve others just like those fat guys. It was obviously...
Not a loss.
A handsome and mysterious nobleman like Alex is quite attractive to the little girl. When taking a bath just now, Chocolate had already started to fantasize about serving her master to take a bath.
Because she had some education and was about sixteen years old, she was considered older here. So Alex made her the foreman temporarily. He found that the little girl was secretly looking at him, and he turned his head and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at her, and said, "Alex Rand, from now on, just call me Mr. or Mr. Rand, and remember to tell the other children."
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
The hotel provided a lot of sumptuous meals. The children sat at one table, while the other table with more sumptuous dishes was obviously reserved for Alex. Alex saw that they seemed to be starving but did not dare to start eating. He took a steak that he was quite interested in and said, "Eat all the rest you can eat. After you finish eating, Liuli, you bring everyone to my room to find me."
Alex left after saying that. When Alex left, the others looked at Liuli, and after Liuli nodded, everyone started eating voraciously - especially the little wolf girl who looked very weak. Only when she was eating could her wolf nature be seen.
The master was probably afraid that they would not be able to let go if he was around. Liuli had some experience, and what she was doing now was imitating the former maid at home.
Liuli also sat down. While eating, she thought about the future: Maybe the master is a gentle person, but not necessarily. Some people can only know the face but not the heart.
"Eat." The red-haired girl Chise, who had just woken up, gently pushed Liuli with her arm and said, "Don't be hungry."
Liuli knew Chise when she was in the market. She had been there for some time and could be considered unwanted. Now she was the only human friend here, so she asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, he, I mean Mr.." Chise paused and said, "I have entrusted my fate to him, and I will obey his arrangements. But Liuli, no matter what he asks or what he arranges, please don't refuse."
"Well, it was bought after all."
"That's not what I meant." Chise's eyes flashed with confusion. She couldn't find the right words, but she definitely saw what was hidden in Alex. She said, "He is, God."
God? Liuli looked at Chise in surprise, not quite understanding why he said that. Was it because he used some unknown means to cure her illness?
…………
"Eleven copies, each copy is one hundred gold coins."
After the meal, Alex looked at the eleven young faces in front of him and said, "From today on, you can choose your own future. I have not marked you with a slave mark. If you want to leave, a hundred gold coins will be my gift to you. Don't be afraid. I won't deliberately use this to test you."
"If you want to come with me, we will go to a very far country, and you may never be able to return to your hometown in your entire life." Alex said: "Although I can provide you with a good life, it is not free. You need to work hard to earn it. Not only that, the working environment will be very bad, and you may face terrifying thunder and extremely cold frost."
Liuli's heart tightened. Isn't this a maid? Is it a warrior? Going to a cold place? And getting struck by lightning?
"This job is not easy, so I don't want to make it difficult for you. If you want to leave, you still have family, hometowns, and people you can't leave in this world. Tell me your hometown address, and I will arrange for someone to escort you home. Let's put it this way, Liuli, you can read, so fill out a form. You can take these gold coins first. If you want to go home, find Liuli to register your address, and then you will be responsible for hiring professional mercenaries, such as the Shield Hero we just met. He must be short of money recently, to take everyone home. Now you can rest assured."
Although Alex didn't think the hero was that good, he could tell that at least he wasn't a bad guy. He was pretty good to the demi-humans.
Alex said, "I will be back at eight tomorrow morning. If you stay, I will assume that you are willing to follow me. The money is here, and you can make your own decisions. Remember, don't show off your wealth. Don't make a fuss about it."
With that, Alex left the house directly. Many people hadn't realized what had happened yet, leaving the children there in confusion.
The children discussed for a long time at night, and after confirming that Alex was not some aristocrat with bad tastes and playing battle royale and chase games, one child said he wanted to go home. One person asked, and many people asked. Liuli went out to find the Shield Hero and his group - they didn't quite believe it after hearing the good news of gold coins falling from the sky.
"Master Shangwen, that gentleman?"
"I don't know, maybe a good guy?"
The Shield Hero also thought a lot, he was like a tool that was controlled by others, and he could not escape the rules of this world from beginning to end. He also thought, how nice it would be if he was holding a stick instead of a shield.
"Miss, we have accepted this mission. We will send those who are willing to go home safely."
Eight o'clock the next morning.
Alex appeared in the room on time, and at this moment, there were only five children left out of the original eleven - Liuli, Chise, Setsuna, Chocolate and Vanilla. They all had one thing in common, that is, they were helpless and had no attachment to this world.
"Pretty much what I thought."
Alex smiled and looked at the sleepy faces of the few people. They were probably restless and didn't sleep well all night. As soon as he walked in, the wolf girl Setsuna ran over immediately, holding one of Alex's fingers with her two little hands, and said, "Setsuna's...future."
Touch your head.
Alex patted their heads in turn, revealing a satisfied look.
After he sat down, he looked at the five girls standing in front of him in a row from tall to short. As for Liuli, she was plug-and-play. She could take on some work when she returned, and she could also be a classmate of Rose. As for the wolf girl and the cat girl, these three still needed to learn. Although they were cute, they had to do some work and study hard.
Rose will definitely be very happy. Alex didn't lie. The animal-eared maid is indeed what Rose wants - Alex wants it too.
As for Chise, this girl is not ordinary. Alex looked at Chise, and Chise also looked at Alex.
"what is this?"
Alex raised his hand and asked Chise.
"A black stick." Chise came up with the answer after looking for a while. The others were confused as Alex had nothing in his hand.
This girl is definitely a genius. She can see the flow of imaginary power with her naked eyes. If this isn't genius, what is she? Alex withdrew her hand and made up her mind to let Black Tower teach her. Black Tower is an authority in imaginary energy. This disciple will definitely be satisfied. By then, she can bring back all of Black Tower's skills... no, just the basics. It will be a great contribution to Beloberg.
"Well, sir." Liuli said boldly, "We voluntarily accept the slave contract."
After thinking it over, Liuli had nowhere to go. The two cat girls just wanted to stick together, the wolf girl just wanted to control the future, and Chise was determined to follow. Although she hesitated, maybe she could open a small shop with 100 gold coins to start her own life, but the turmoil and torture she had experienced made her very uneasy. Since the master was so generous and kind, maybe following him was the most clear decision.
The most important thing is that she had already answered this question when we first met last night - I am willing to go with you.
In this case, let others rest assured that signing a slave contract is the only ironclad proof that they will not be abandoned.
"I said no." Alex smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We are not a master-servant relationship, but an employment relationship. I will provide you with accommodation and salary, and you need to serve me and my family. A proper job. Outside of work hours, you can study and plan your future."
