Chapter 195 The Slave Girl with the Lion Hidden in Her Eyes

town of riod.

It is a town that spreads out from the center of a clean oasis, like an isolated island floating in the desert, and it is also the destination of their trip.

Go to the dedicated port on the south side of the town, and use thick chains tied to the docking posts to secure the boats.After the boat was firmly fixed, Xiao Lin and others were able to disembark.

"It's really dry here."

Freya stepped down and stepped into the port.

Even though Beauty is wearing a hood and a coat, people who notice her can't help but stop, regardless of age or sex, they will be caught by her.Freya turned a blind eye, but as if she was already familiar with the eager gaze, she led Kobayashi, Boffman and others leisurely through the center of the port passage.

"Ota and the others should have sneaked in."

"...What did you say, Goddess Freya?"

Freya's muttering was covered by the din of the port, and Boffman didn't hear her clearly.

Kobayashi looked around, but couldn't see the figures of the jealous kings, probably lurking in the dark, and didn't want to disturb Freya's interest.After all, no matter how you think about it, those few people will not be thrown off by a ship.

Seeing this, Freya couldn't help but smile.

Presumably she also understood what her family members were expressing by not showing up, and decided not to be polite, but to enjoy the journey freely.

Kobayashi doesn't intend to accompany him.

A companion is like a tiger, and Freya is very dangerous. No matter the other party's divinity or wisdom, they should not be underestimated.

However, Goddess of Beauty did not intend to let him go, her tone was flat, but full of undeniable majesty, and said: "Xiao Lin, just follow me during this time."

Freya gagged Kobayashi's mouth with light words, and looked straight into his eyes with the wisdom to see through everything.

The more she resisted, the more interested Freya was. It seemed that her subconscious repulsion had attracted the other party's attention.

The other party is a goddess, and she is also the main god of one of the strongest families of Orario.Kobayashi is very interested in En Hui, and it would not be wise to offend Freya.That being the case, then agree to make the other party satisfied and take the opportunity to seek some benefits.

For example: the granting ceremony of God's favor.

"It is my honor, Lady Freya."

Kobayashi took the order respectfully and gracefully.

Boffman didn't say anything. When he was on the boat, he knew that Freya's attitude towards Xiaolin was a little different, which was completely different from how he treated himself.So the shrewd Boffman decided to firmly grasp the position of the guide after Kobayashi became the goddess' guard.

"Boffman, what kind of place is this?"

"Go back to Lord Freya, this is the city of merchants, named Leod City."

Hearing the goddess' inquiry, Boffman began to introduce the town with all his heart, and at the same time led everyone to him—Fazl's chamber of commerce.

With his introduction, everyone learned that this town is located in the central region of the western desert.

Because it is an oasis, and because it is a central area.Not only is the local law and order good, but there are also few monster attacks.It is easy to attract people to visit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trade center.

In this way, we can also understand why the port here is so perfect.

"Is that why it's called the City of Abundance?"

"Yes! Since this city can lead to any country in the desert on the west side, so according to my humble opinion, I believe that you can find what you are looking for, Lady Goddess!"

Boffman sums it up smugly.

Freya did not explain to him that what she was looking for was actually a partner. For Boffman, whose tone was inexplicably complacent, Beauty God only regarded this passage as an unknown wind in his ears, and walked straight forward .

However, she still looked forward to it a little bit.

I only set off for a day, and I met some strange children (Xiaolin) on the way, maybe I can really find them here?

Freya quickened her pace.

After passing through the warehouse area adjacent to the port, the field of vision suddenly becomes wider, and what greets everyone is a large market.

Obviously the road is very wide, but it is crowded with open-air shops along the road, and there are merchants and customers on both sides of the road.

There are endless calls, and everything is sold here, from carpets and clay pots to clothing, food, and even swords and magic stones.

"Oh~~" Freya whispered in a rare way: "No wonder this is called the City of Merchants."

Looking forward to it even more.

Goddess of Beauty walked gracefully on the street, looked left and right to appreciate the surrounding scenery, and fully enjoyed the exotic atmosphere of the desert.

look ahead.

On the other side of the market, you can see the blue lake, where the greenery is full of spring, which is completely different from the surrounding black and yellow.

Cross the bridge to reach the small island in the middle of the lake, with many mansions with strange shapes.

The most eye-catching one is the mansion in the center with a domed roof. When I saw it suddenly, I thought it was a castle from somewhere.Even if it is the resident of the backbone family of Olali, it cannot reach such a spectacular level.

Freya took a deep look at it, and said in her mouth: "The people and things here are really novel, and people will never get tired of it."

"My lord is wise, my lord is wise!" Boffman, who had completely transformed into a guide, kept rubbing his hands, looking very proud.

Still, the atmosphere here is chilling.

The market itself was very lively, but there was an inexplicably chilling atmosphere in the air.

Kobayashi was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere in the town.Freya frowned slightly, and the God of Beauty, who could see everything through the eyes of God, also discovered the strangeness.

Unconsciously, Boffman opened his hands, pointed around and said, "As you can see, all kinds of people and things are gathered in this town. Not only foreign goods, but also... slaves."

The scene seemed to become noisier in synchronization with these words, and a burst of noise that was different from the previous one resounded through the market.

"Oh? Really, everyone is here."

Freya turned her head to follow Boffman's gaze, and a group of people happened to appear on another busy street.

Meishen raised a little expectation in her heart, hoping to meet an outstanding child.

But it disappeared in an instant.

It was a group of people with no consistency in gender or race. The only thing they had in common was that they were all naked, handcuffed and collared, and held by a rusty chain.

Among the group of people whose faces were full of exhaustion, some looked pessimistic, and some even showed despair.

They are out-and-out slaves.

"Boffman, those slaves are..."

"The slave merchants just brought it back, after all, there is a slave market here."

"It seems that the number of people is quite large. Is it that hunting of humans often happens here?"

Hunting humans, in simple terms, means attacking multiple towns and villages, and forcibly turning the captured villagers into slaves, which is quite a bad act.

While Freya asked in doubt, Kobayashi exuded a frightening low pressure.

"You, you misunderstood, there is absolutely no such thing! No matter how you say it, no one dares to disrupt the order in the surrounding area!" Boffman was frightened with sweat on his forehead, and quickly explained: "This is actually the Sikeos Desert A war is breaking out..."

Just like Freya thought.

The weird atmosphere, and a large number of slaves, what the above two means, she who has the divine nature of war knows best.

"War."

"Yes. The Kingdom of Charzad, which is located on the north side, is currently being attacked by the Warsha Kingdom on the east side, so..."

All the countries established in the Kaios Desert adopted the monarchy system.There is no national family that reflects the gods' will in the local area, and most of the relevant gods' factions are listed under the structure of the military department.

Although small-scale conflicts will break out between countries, there should be no situation where countries will go to war for hegemony.

however……

Boffman wiped the sweat from his brow, and whispered, "It is said that the Kingdom of Warsha has introduced powerful mercenary families into the military headquarters in recent years, and then unilaterally declared war on the neighboring country of Sharza Germany..."

"So Sharza Germany was defeated?"

Freya also understood.

There is a big difference between having [favor] and not having [favor].Sharza Germany will definitely be beaten to pieces, the capital will fall in an instant, and the country will definitely be ravaged.And slaves are naturally a natural existence after the defeat.

I am afraid that in the process of attacking neighboring countries, Warsha decided not to spare any village in order to prevent counterattacks.

Innocent residents suffered catastrophe, so those who barely escaped were caught again.

It must be because of this reason that the atmosphere here is tense.

It was only then that Xiao Lin discovered that there were many luxury goods sold in the market, but most of them were weapons and fuel.The merchants who smelled the smoke of gunpowder immediately imported various materials needed during the war to make a fortune.

On the other hand, the local residents feel uneasy about the atmosphere of war.

"Please rest assured, Lady Goddess! The capital of Sharzade has indeed fallen, but the remaining army has decided to support the surviving prince and continue to fight in various places! Varsha will be at his wits end in order to wipe out the remnants. I believe the flames of war will not Spread here!"

Boffman kept emphasizing the safety here.

Not only to keep the God of Beauty, but also not to blame the God of Beauty, otherwise he will be killed!But at the same time, it also shows from the side that the aggression is still going on.

At this time, a large group of slaves were forced to walk in the center of the market, and the people who retreated to the side of the road were whispering, mixed with words of contempt or sympathy.

Freya is not interested in this.

For she had just seen directly through her own silver eyes the color of the radiance of the souls within the children, and what she saw seemed utterly boring to her.

After these people were reduced to slaves, the souls in their bodies all turned into dirty gray, which was even worse than Xiaolin, who was covered with gold and rotten inside!
In the eyes of Freya, who was looking for dazzling brilliance, this scene was enough to make her unhappy.After all, when I was looking for delicious food, I finally came to the toilet, so no one would happily take a bite.

Even though she can't eat, it's enough to annoy her to hang around in the toilet all the time, and it will take away her interest in finding a partner.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows head-on.

"Fu, Goddess Freya, your hood...!"

After Boffman found that Freya's hood had been lifted, he panicked in fright.

If the appearance of the beauty god is exposed on the spot, there is no guarantee that the market will fall into chaos.The reason is that when Boffman saw Freya's profile, even he lost his sense of proportion.

The scream woke Freya out of her thoughts.

Xiao Lin was very fast, and walked in front of the goddess in two steps in three steps, protecting her in front of him, covering most of her features.

But, it's too late.

The face of the beauty god is fully exposed.

It was thought that the commotion would spread outward like ripples, but the actual situation was as silent as calm.Passers-by who noticed Freya stopped their movements and looked at Freya obsessively, showing an expression that seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream.

The slaves responded in the same way.

They all stopped in their tracks, stunned, as if they had witnessed something wonderful that could not exist in the world, and they didn't care even if they were in despair.Even the subordinates of the slave trader, who kept pulling their chains or waving their whips, were intoxicated by the beauty of the goddess.

But Kobayashi only felt that this scene shuddered, and at the same time, he felt a strong sense of gratitude to Aqua in his heart.

He didn't think it was scary before, but when he saw other people's reactions, he realized how dangerous he was back then, and how powerful the blue crystal necklace made by Akua was.

Praise Aqua!Praise to the mentally handicapped... Goddess of Wisdom!Invite her to drink bubble wine and get drunk after returning home!

"Thank you, Kobayashi."

Freya smiled.

Sure enough, only the strange child she met by chance on the way here is quite brilliant, who can shine a brilliance in the gray sand and wash her eyes.

at this time--

Freya's silver eyes caught the brilliance.

The location is right in the middle of the crowded and distorted team, as if hiding in the crowd, lurking among countless chaotic souls, the light that is almost ignored by the nearby brilliance (Kobayashi)!
A girl was standing there.

She has purple eyes, brown skin and black hair, and although unkempt, she has a good face.

That face between a girl and a woman, in Freya's eyes, is like a fresh and juicy green fruit.

Like everyone else, the girl covered her head with a rag and kept her head down to avoid being noticed as much as possible.

Seemingly feeling the gaze of the goddess, after looking over, the girl who was face to face with the goddess widened her eyes in astonishment like the other slaves, but quickly looked away again.

This surprised Freya.

The appearance of the goddess of beauty is enough to fascinate all living beings, and the girl can resist with her own will.

After the girl lowered her head again, she showed a very painful expression, but she also looked heroic.The pair of sharp blade-like eyes are not dead, but reminiscent of a male lion crouching and waiting for the time to come.

At least, in the eyes of the Goddess.

"Master Freya, it's time for you to put on the hood." Kobayashi put the dropped hood back on her head.

As the face that fascinated all beings disappeared, others also came back to their senses.

The subordinates of the slave trader flicked their long whips, and the team moved forward again. The girl followed the crowd of slaves towards the end and disappeared from sight.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Freya, who was protected in her arms, raised her head, her silver eyes were full of interest, and said to him, "Xiao Lin, let's go."

Xiao Lin asked in a low voice: "Master Freya, could it be..."

"That's right! It's exactly what you think!"

Freya affirmed the question, and then strode forward.

Seeing this, Boffman immediately rushed to catch up, and was puzzled by the riddle between the two: "Goddess Freya, you, where are you going?"

At this time, the goddess's lips had already curled up, and she said loudly, "Please take me to the slave market."

Sure enough, Freya took a fancy to that girl.
