My Magic Age

Chapter 400 197. The Value of Slaves (Part 2)

"Hey, Jijia, don't leave in a hurry! We haven't gone backstage to take the elf slave away yet. I gave up a lot of pocket money to buy her!" Bobby grabbed my arm. He never thought that I was not interested in such a seductive elf girl.

I stood up angrily, turned around and wanted to walk out of the auction house.

He ran up and grabbed my arm. He couldn't understand why I didn't want to accept his gift.

"At least you should respect my opinion before bidding for me!" I complained to Bobby beside me helplessly.

Then, I walked out of the auction house without looking back, ignoring Bobby behind me. In fact, I couldn't accept his heavy gift. Ordinary people can hardly accumulate fifty magic crystals in their lifetime. It's like an insignificant number in Bobby's mouth, but it's still too heavy for me now. I don't want to waste the wealth I just accumulated on a beautiful vase like porcelain.

I have a very detailed plan for these magic crystals in my hand, that is, to learn more advanced inscription arrays. Practicing to draw advanced inscription arrays is not a simple matter. Some people say that inscription masters are one of the most expensive professions. The road to success of many famous inscription masters is paved with yellow and orange gold coins. Countless expensive inks and high-level magic beast leathers are the biggest stumbling blocks on the road to advancement for inscription masters.

I have saved more than 30 magic crystals in my hands these days. I originally planned to buy some high-level magic beast leathers, because many high-level magic arrays can only be activated by the magic power contained in high-level magic inks, and the huge magic power contained in these high-level magic inks is not enough for ordinary magic beast leather to bear. Only on high-level magic beast leather can more advanced magic scrolls be drawn.

Su, except for some minor accidents, I decided to hide her in Xinliu Valley. In order to let her live like a normal person, she finally agreed to use the magic prosthesis of Orianna Store under my persuasion. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of my biggest wish in the past five years. This was once Guoguo's dream. Now I can help her complete this matter. It feels like a mountain has been taken off my back, and my whole body is suddenly much lighter. But the price paid is also to spend almost all the magic crystals on me, a total of thirty yuan.

Now there are less than two magic crystals in my magic waist bag. In this way, even if I want to buy the elf slave girl, there are not enough magic crystals in my pocket. What's more, I don't want to buy such an expensive slave girl at all. Is it possible to buy such a gorgeous and top-grade elf slave girl and let her go to Xinliu Valley to accompany Su?

The middle-aged nobleman who just left was very scheming. From the beginning, he was extremely reluctant, and then he asked Bobby to raise the price to an outrageous height. This was actually to make Bobby sell me a big enough favor. He also saw that it was difficult to persuade Bobby not to participate in the auction, and he might still need to pay for it in the end, so he simply asked Bobby to bid a sky-high price and snatched the elf slave back with lightning speed.

This will make me have a deeper impression of this auction. The scene where Bobby finally bid for the elf slave will become an indelible mark in my heart, and it will be difficult to forget the value of this beautiful elf slave.

In fact, I know in my heart that Bobby may not have to spend a copper coin to buy this slave. After all, the middle-aged nobleman is his uncle. Although I don’t know what kind of identity he is, I can vaguely guess that he should be the organizer of this auction.

Many times, in order to attract enough bidders, some large auctions will do some publicity in El City half a month in advance, just like releasing some smoke bombs. The organizers will distribute the list of auction items to every rich person in El City. There will always be one or two or even more eye-catching auction items on the list. These rare and valuable auction items may not be the items that the organizers want to auction off. In this way, on the day of the auction, some people will mix in the crowd of bidders and buy back some auction items that did not reach the expected price and some treasures that did not want to be auctioned at a high price.

It is not difficult to see that this young elf slave girl is one of the gimmicks of this auction. Her appearance completely ignited the enthusiasm of the auction. From the tone just now, I found that the middle-aged noble was very dissatisfied with the bidding price of the elf slave girl, and it was reasonable for Bobby to buy the elf slave girl back.

Just as I was about to slip out of the back door of the auction hall again, a team of guards led a team of female slaves in from the side door of the stage. After the female slaves slowly walked onto the stage, they stood on their own round wooden platforms as if they had practiced well, waiting for the old man in white to bid one by one.

When I saw that there was an orc slave girl wearing half-body leather armor in the team, as she took steady steps, a white little hand was tightly holding a piece of linen cloth, and the orc girl seemed very nervous and followed the slave girl. The orc slave girl had a tattoo of a wind wolf on her arm, and there were cloud patterns on her face that only tribal orc warriors had. She was clearly an orc warrior from the orc tribe. On the skin exposed by the simple half-body leather armor, a scar that almost ran through the entire chest could be clearly seen.

I stopped involuntarily, staring at the little half-orc girl who was only four or five years old. I couldn't take my eyes off her. The worn straw mat draped over her brought back memories of the past. I couldn't control my emotions anymore. I strode forward, chasing after the group of slaves who were walking onto the stage. I shouted loudly in orc language to the female orc warrior and the little half-orc girl: "Don't worry, I'm Jijia from the Blood Wolf Tribe in Guludin Town. I will buy you back and give you everything you have."

The female orc who was about to walk onto the stage looked at me in surprise. Although she looked surprised, her face was still as calm as a pond in late autumn without a trace of fluctuation. I could see endless vicissitudes in her eyes.

Seeing her silence, I asked again: "Who brought you here? Aren't they worried about the revenge of the orc warriors?"

"Hey, Jijia, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?" Bobby came up behind me and stood behind me, curiously watching me and the orc warrior communicating.

The female warrior shook her head lightly, with endless loss and guilt in her eyes. She was very frugal with her words and only said to me: "No one brought me here, and no orc warriors will ignite the revenge for me..."

Before she finished speaking, she was pushed hard by the guard beside her. Although the force was strong, it was like she didn't feel anything when she was pushed on her, and even her shoulders didn't shake. But she followed the guard's command, followed the entire formation, and walked firmly onto the auction platform.

I don't know where the anger came from, and it rushed to my head. I knew my face must be very ugly. I stared at the guard fiercely, as if I wanted to eat his bones alive. He retreated a few steps under my fierce gaze, but he didn't say anything cruel, and retreated in panic. He was very smart. He knew he couldn't afford to offend me, so he hid immediately.

I stared at the orc warrior standing on the stage. She was also looking at me at this moment, and she was obviously curious about me. I made a secret code to her that only the warriors of the Blood Wolf Tribe could understand. Finally, there was a fluctuation in her eyes. She was so cautious that she didn't believe that I also had the identity of the Blood Wolf Tribe until now. She finally nodded to me, and I think she should have recognized me.

The old man in white robes on the stage continued to introduce the characteristics of this team of slaves. Unexpectedly, this team of female slaves of various ethnic groups who walked onto the stage actually had the same characteristics, that is, they all had a certain combat power and could become close guards. Among these nine female slaves, five were human slaves. Probably only slaves trafficked from Etia would be traded openly on the stage. In short, they could not be from the Empire. There were also three female slaves of other races. They were obviously taller and had obvious muscles on their exposed bodies. They were very strong. Only one was a female orc, and she had a little tail beside her. She was a half-orc girl about four or five years old. She only had glass eyes. The rest of her body was the same as that of an ordinary person. However, with just this little difference, people could tell at a glance that she was a half-orc.

I didn't expect that war slaves would be so popular. Starting from the first foreign slave girl, the auction once again ushered in a new wave of enthusiasm. The number of nobles bidding exceeded half of the total number of people in the venue, which was similar to the situation of the elven slave girls. I couldn't help but be stunned by such a hot auction. Looking at Bobby beside me, I asked in confusion: "Why is it so popular all of a sudden? Are these nobles very short of guards?"

Bobby squeezed out a weird smile and said: "In the whole city of El, there are thousands of warriors coming out of the academy every year. How can they lack close guards!"

"Then why do these nobles still buy female war slaves?" I asked him puzzledly.

Bobby knew the ins and outs of this place very well, and said to me without hiding: "That's because only slaves can participate in the boxing matches in the underground martial arts arena. These nobles want to buy a few female slaves who can participate in the underground boxing matches. They are people who want to participate in the gambling!"

I suddenly thought of a few days ago when Brother Qiang Bach suddenly came to me and revealed a piece of information to me, that is, two old friends of the Star Knights are now living miserably in the underground boxing matches in El City. Originally, I had made an appointment with Benjamin and asked him to take me to see the underground boxing matches in El City. Many things happened later, and this matter was delayed.

From Su and Cindy, I got the news that Ignatz in the manor also captured various wanderers from all over the place. He sent the strong wanderers to the underground boxing match arena, and the weak wanderers were rescued as fertilizer for his flowers, and the corpses of the wanderers were used to nourish the hell trees and night charms. I originally thought that the underground boxing matches were controlled by Ignatz, and the underground boxing matches would eventually disband with the death of Ignatz.

Later, even Simon Joe and Oyacho were arrested by the Magic Guild. I thought that the underground boxing matches no longer had any backers, so I have forgotten about this matter.

I didn't expect that now that I came to the slave auction house, there were still so many nobles in El City frantically buying war slaves. Could it be that the underground boxing match did not disappear because of Oyacho's fall, but was not affected at all and was still in full swing? Underground boxing matches, a place where filth and dirt are hidden, can also be said to be the best place for some fugitives to survive. I suddenly felt that I should go and have a look.

If it weren't for Baoji and Hamasaki's relentless pursuit of me, I wouldn't have stayed in Guluding Town, and the Wind Chaser Adventure Group wouldn't have disbanded. If it weren't for this, Sister Guoguo wouldn't have died. How could I easily forget this unforgettable hatred? Since I know they are hiding in the underground boxing match, I think I should get better as soon as possible, but don't wait for me to go, they have already died on the field.

At this moment, my heart is burning even hotter.

"Hey, why are you auctioning off a female orc? The rules of the underground boxing match do not allow orcs to disrupt the game. Who can beat these big guys with bare hands!"

"Those orcs are crazy. If they knew that someone tortured their compatriots, we would be burned to ashes by the fire of revenge!"

"Who would buy an orc? She stinks all over!"

"Hey, don't you think this female orc has a very good figure? Look at the girl next to her, she is clearly a half-orc. Doesn't this mean that a guy with a heavy taste married a female orc and gave birth to a child! Haha, this is really interesting!"

"Who has such a heavy taste that dares to sleep with a stinky orc? I am impressed by him!"

At this moment, there was a lot of discussion under the stage. The old man in white robes offered a price of one gold coin amid the chaotic discussion in the audience. But even so, there were only three people participating in the auction, including me. Since orc warriors cannot participate in underground boxing matches, the atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly became cold to the freezing point. Those nobles who were enthusiastically bidding for other war slaves did not hide their disdain for the orc female warriors.

No noble was willing to buy an orc female warrior who could not participate in black market boxing matches. Did they mean that she would stand by their side all day as a personal guard?

The nobles in the auction hall could not help but wonder: When did orcs become so trustworthy? Why don't these natives who only know how to believe in the power of their ancestors just roll back to the barren plateau?

At this time, I raised my arm and shouted:

"Nine gold!"

I raised my hand to indicate that I could raise the price to nine gold coins. No one in the audience continued to bid with me, so I easily bought the orc mother and daughter back.

No matter who has the experience of surviving in the wild, it is far inferior to the orcs living on the Pai Plateau. I bought them back, and naturally wanted the orc female warrior to go to Xinliu Valley to take care of Su. I just hope that her true strength has not reached the level of a seventh-level warrior apprentice, otherwise the rules of the Xinliu Valley world alone will keep her out!

For those nobles, even if the orc female warrior is very cheap, few people buy it.

But for me, the orc female warrior has the blood of the blood wolf clan flowing in her body. Even if I have to give up everything, I must buy back her freedom...
