Chapter 17 17. Successful Transaction

Oberto, who originally wanted to send the visitor away quickly, stopped immediately when he heard "check out the goods".

The light was very dim, and the light source driven by the crystal in the distance could not illuminate this place at all. The weak firelight only outlined the vague outline of the person in front of him.

The voice of the person who came out of the shadow was mechanical and stiff, and every word he said was flat, and even no emotion could be heard.

This deliberate cover-up did not surprise Oberto too much. He had been engaged in slave trade for a long time and had seen too many people with secrets.

It was just that it felt bad to look into the eyes of this person.

For some reason, Oberto felt that there was more than one pair of eyes looking at him under the fluttering brim of the hat.

He said politely, "The customer has a request, of course we have to meet it", but his strong curiosity prompted him to take a step forward quietly.

The hand behind his back touched the torch not far away without a trace.

In the air, magic swirled, teasing the flames.

In the flickering firelight, a ray of light inadvertently penetrated into the face that seemed to be isolated from the light.

The light of the flame was instantly swallowed by something unknown.

The black mist slowly dissipated, and the ink-like waves flooded his consciousness.

He felt particularly irritated for no reason, as if a lot of small voices whispered in his ears.

Oberto wanted to listen carefully to this unknown voice and wanted to distinguish it carefully, but he couldn't do it.

Those voices were like black vines, spreading in his mind little by little.

Cold.

Quiet.

Complex.

Incomprehensible.

After just a while, Oberto felt dizzy, and the strong irritability made his stomach very uncomfortable, and the urge to vomit was almost uncontrollable.

"Don't try to spy on things you can't understand."

Oberto listened to the voice coming from the front, and cold sweat broke out.

This cold and mysterious power seemed to be able to tear his consciousness apart and fill his body with chaos.

Who is he?

Is he a royal force from the Royal City of Yas or a branch of the kingdom's nobles?

Or... just a visitor passing by here?

No matter who he is, he is definitely not a good person.

Lu Yu was very satisfied with the effect. Oberto not only expressed his fear and trepidation that he would give him time to see the goods, but also was extremely respectful of him.

This was actually an accident.

At that time, Lulutis was introducing Lu Yu to the blood of the Asian dragons and the blood of the inferior species.

Because Lulutis was lying on Lu Yu's shoulder, she did not use mental magic to communicate, but whispered to Lu Yu casually.

It stands to reason that these whispers would be nothing if ordinary people heard them, but unfortunately Oberto, as a magician, was too curious and had to use magic to try to spy.

Lulutis had tried to communicate with other lives in this world, but without exception, they angered them, made them irritable, and eventually evolved into hatred for themselves, and couldn't help but launch attacks.

This was the effect of the powerful seal, which distorted Lulutis's words and turned them into a kind of content that was almost mental pollution.

Oberto was shocked by Lu Yu's terrifying filthy power.

When Lu Yu and Lu Lutis found out that the situation was not good, they were worried that the situation would deteriorate.

If they fought with Oberto here, they really didn't know how it would end.

Fortunately, Oberto stopped his stupid actions in time and became extremely humble.

Although he didn't know what he had imagined, Lu Yu decided to let him go.

As for how strong this "pollution" could affect, Lu Lutis decided to find an opportunity to test it later.

Lu Yu walked to the Asian dragon and squatted down.

The Asian dragon girl, who was bound by a collar and chains, was looking at him through the gaps in her silver-white hair.

The indigo eyes released a cold murderous intent.

The silver-white waterfall covered the girl's face, and the weak firelight made the silver threads sparkle.

There was blood at the corner of the girl's mouth, and it was unknown whether it was left by some unlucky earl's servant or her own blood.

"If you want to use the chain in your hand to instantly wrap around my neck and use me as a hostage in exchange for your life, I suggest you give up this idea."

The Asian dragon 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 have to grind your teeth. Since you can bite off a person's finger bones and flesh together, it shouldn't be a big problem to bite off my neck at this distance."

The grinding sound stopped abruptly.

"The iron rod you secretly glanced at is indeed a good weapon. The end is sharpened and very sharp. It's not a problem to stab someone through it."

"But I don't think you can kill it with shackles. If you have this ability, you won't be locked up here and become a commodity."

The Asian dragon girl leaned forward slightly, and her hand had moved a considerable distance to Lu Yu's side.

"I'm not telling you so much to make fun of you, I'm giving you a way out. You're still planning to kill me as a scapegoat..."

"Believe me, if you do it, you'll be the one to die."

Lu Yu's cold voice stopped the Asian dragon girl's movements.

"If you die, I just need to compensate that person over there with a few silver coins, maybe one, maybe two..."

"We'll start bargaining over your corpse, and you won't even have a chance to refute."

"By the way, how many silver coins do you think your life is worth?"

The Asian dragon girl was silent.

"I admire your spirit of resistance, so I am willing to tell you more. Whether you believe it or not, I must be the most patient one before buying slaves."

"Not many buyers will spend so much time on preparation. They will just roughly part your hair and pinch your chin to appreciate your embarrassment."

"The ragged clothes you wear will only speed up their thinking process. When they take you home, throw you on the bed, and get tired of playing, you will probably become nutrients in the land."

"It is possible that some people have a bad taste and take you home just to torture you."

"It doesn't matter if you torture to death, but it's just a slave. If you die, you die. There are so many slaves here. How many people do you think can see the sun in a few days?"

"No one cares."

Lu Yu's words made the girl who had just bit off a finger from the earl's entourage feel a chill.

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 chances..." Lu Yu stood up.

The girl hesitated for a while, and slowly climbed up from the ground while enduring the pain.

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, jaws, and forehead that had not yet faded were the product that could not be eliminated in a short time after the dragon transformation.

Lu Yu stared at the girl's indigo eyes for a long time without saying a word.

"What do you want me to do?"

The Asian dragon girl couldn't help but ask.

"Before that, you should tell me how I should call you."

"Lenier..."

"Sigrid Lenier."

It has a complete name, not casual.

Although I am curious about why such a person has fallen to this point, now is not the time to understand.

"Lu Yu, a traveler."

"Sigrid, huh? I plan to buy you. If you have any questions, you can wait until you leave here."

Sigrid was about to open her mouth to say something, and Lu Yu's voice sounded again.

"It's better not to reject me. You only have one chance."

"I believe that following me will allow you to see the light of day again and usher in a new life."

"Or...rot with them."

Lu Yu pointed to a place not far away.

That was a slave who lost in the competition and had his legs broken.

He was pale due to excessive blood loss. He murmured and asked for help, but what greeted him was a ruthless kick from the slave trader.

This kick kicked him into the ditch next to him.

The flies were startled and flew away, as if they were angry that their meal was interrupted, so they all fell on the slave in revenge.

Sigrid, who was not afraid of death and even wanted to die, couldn't help trembling when she saw the disgusting scene of flies waiting to enjoy the feast.

"Sigrid, give me an answer."

"Stay,"

"Or follow me to leave."

Sigrid looked at the hands in the ditch that were shaking weakly and trying to drive away the flies, imagining the horrible scene of him being suffocated in the filth.

Looking around, frivolous laughter, dirty words, disgusting scenes, all overlapped together.

Sigrid's lips moved, opened her mouth and closed it 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 was forcibly purchased, even with a contract as a basis, it is hard to guarantee that he would not play a one-for-one exchange with himself with the belief that he would die.

The determination revealed in Sigrid's eyes and the spirit of resistance implemented with practical actions made Lu Yu very satisfied. He didn't want the person he liked to play a self-destruction on him later.

"Wait."

Throwing two words to Sigrid, Lu Yu strode towards Oberto.

"Ask a price."

Oberto felt sick again, and the buzzing sound in his ears continued.

"Ten... fourteen silver coins."

"Too much."

Oberto shuddered: "Too... too much?"

"Customer, I spent..."

"I'm not interested in how much you spent, I just say one thing, too much."

Oberto gritted his teeth: "Open it!"

"Seven, six for her bloodline, one for you."

Faced with this customer who cut in half, Oberto wanted to yell, but when he thought about how he had lost a lot of money tonight because of Sigrid, and offended the active nobles in the royal city because of it.

It seems that spending too much energy on such a madman who is bent on death will only make him lose more...

Not to mention that the noise in his ears is getting louder and louder, it's hard to say that it's not the work of the mysterious man in front of him.

Sell it, just stop the loss and send these two plague gods away!

Oberto took the purchase agreement that he had prepared long ago and gave it to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu felt sorry for his seven silver coins and reluctantly handed them to Oberto.

He felt that he had bargained too little.

I will update it tomorrow, and I may also update the other side of the story.
