According to the previous plan, Adrian and Feit divided the valley into two areas and made preliminary statistics on the "commodities" inside.

Now they are certain that this is not the place that Faith had been to before, and the number of "goods" that appeared in front of them is obviously much smaller, only about [-].However, the reduction is mainly caused by poor human beings, and there are still many more "high-end" fighters and other races.

According to Feit, "Although the number of people is smaller, the quality has improved."

Adrian listened, sighed, and said, "Okay, then follow what I said before—"

To rescue so many people and settle them down, two things are most needed.

money, and land.

Adrian has money.When he left the capital, Feit got a lot of gold gems and magic props from several members of Jonalin's family.Furthermore, considering that I have left, I don't know when I will be able to return. If I lose my master, the property of the Langton family will inevitably be divided up.Feit took everything he could take with him.Now, he has completely delivered it to Adrian.

The bag of gems that Adrian gave to Guanlan earlier came from this.And that, although it seemed a rather expensive part of all his possessions, was still a fraction of all his assets.

The problem is, no matter how rich he is, if he only goes out but not in, he will be wiped out sooner or later.

Besides, Adrian knows very well that "transactions" are often safer than "gifts".

Therefore, next, he and Faith did not choose to directly release the slaves.Instead, after confirming the food reserves in the valley, step directly into the "high-end goods" area.

Unlike the poor who are crowded together and live in dirty living conditions, the "commodities" in this area can often have a small space for each person.If there are family members, the whole family will be together, and the space belonging to them will be relatively expanded.

Adrian found a lot of "exhibits".He hesitated for a moment between the attractive men and women and the mermaid, and decided to ask the knight for advice: "Fayt, what do you think?"

Hearing his words, the brown-haired youth finally turned his eyes away from Adrian.

His view is very rational: "Mermaids can produce pearls stably, but this place is not near the sea. To send them back to the sea, we must make early arrangements."

Adrian sighed.That's right, that's the truth.

"However," Feit said, "it's actually the same on the human side. They don't seem to be able to go back independently."

Adrian choked, "Yes."

"So," Veit concluded, "it's all right."

Adrian took a deep breath: "Let's get started—negotiate the terms with them first. Don't worry, we have already obtained all the contracts from them. Even if they don't agree to the deal we proposed, they can't object too violently." As for The "commodities" that have not yet signed a contract are placed in another area.Adrian put the disposal of them behind, and still needs more experience to deal with these people.

Feit responded dispensably, and turned his gaze back to Adrian.

Adrian was aware of it, but he just felt that the situation here was complicated, and Feit was worried about acting alone.

"It's okay." He said proactively, "The two of us will separate, things will go faster, and we can start the next step earlier."

Feit's eyes flickered, his temperament was a little more gloomy, but he didn't retort: ​​"Okay."

"Mermaid, human?" Adrian asked.

Feit: "It's all right—" After a pause, "Mermaid."

Adrian smiled and said, "Okay, see you later."

He went to work without distraction, and Veit stood still for a while.

In front of Adrian, he looked the same as before.But after Adrian left, black mist immediately emerged from the gaps in his armor.

Feit looked cold, lowered his head, and glanced at himself.

In his eyes, the black mist receded as if alive.

Feit pulled the corners of his lips coldly.In the next moment, it turned into a look of pain.

Do not……

Deep in my heart, there is a voice demanding.

you can not--

The voice was quickly drowned out.More small and repeated voices pressed up, like countless people whispering in his ear.

"You want him."

"You can have him."

"This valley has everything the Jonalin family used to capture slaves. Now that he's separated from you, you can go and find those magic items!"

Feit's cheeks twitched, anger welling up.

How can, how can!

It was probably because his thoughts were too obvious, and the voices that were quietly agitating in the darkness weakened.But it didn't disappear, but transformed into a more secretive and more seductive movement.

Said: "Adrian was in danger when he separated from you before."

In said: "You need to take him to a place that is safe enough and private enough that he can't leave. Only there can he be healthy and safe."

Said: "Fayt! Have you forgotten how you looked when you found Adrian? He looked so flustered and vulnerable, do you want it all to repeat—"

At this moment, the brown-haired knight who was motionless suddenly moved.

He pulled out the knight sword, but he didn't stab any place around him.

The sword pointed at Faith himself, and cut a hole in the flesh under the heavy armor.

Blood dripping.

But Feit's expression calmed down.He turned around, without any intention of treating the wound, and just went to the place where the mermaids were held.

Facing a group of beautiful creatures in the sea looking at him with hatred, Fait said in a rigid tone, "Ten bags of pearls, I'll go back instead. Okay, you can start crying now."

Mermaids: "..."

They were visibly stunned.It took a while before the waters specially created for them began to boil.

Countless mermaids rushed to the front and asked in their unique language: "Is what you said true?"

Here we have to talk about the particularity of the mermaid language.It is obviously different from the language of any race on the mainland, but all creatures can understand the mermaid's speech.

To be precise, the voices made by the mermaids are not words, but more similar to singing.When the song reaches the ears of other beings, even the most hard-hearted race will be moved.

However, the scope of this "heart of stone" does not seem to include Feit.

He frowned, looked even a little impatient, and replied, "Yes."

Some mermaids were pleasantly surprised, and some mermaids wanted to ask again, but when they saw the black mist faintly overflowing from Feit's body, they flinched and backed away.

Faith noticed something, and his eyes fell on the mermaid.

The mermaid's body tensed immediately, even its tail stood upright, and the fins behind the ears were completely blown up.

Feith didn't feel threatened.Instead, he was absent-minded, thinking: This guy's hair... kind of looks like Adrian.

On the ground, silver hair is a characteristic of elves in legend, and only a few people can have it.And even this "few people" often have an inextricable relationship with elves.

Or, counting up, the name of a certain elf appeared among their ancestors.Or, his parents, grandparents, had been transformed into elves.

This is off topic.All in all, in the ocean, the appearance of the creatures is much richer.

Faced with such a mermaid, Feit became a little patient, and added: "If you are not at ease, you can sign a new contract with us. However," in order to avoid trouble, he raised the threshold a little higher, "to If you sign the contract, cry out thirty bags of pearls."

The merfolk looked at him incredulously.

Three, thirty bags?Why are there so many all of a sudden?

Faith didn't pay attention to the eyes of the mermaids.He thought about it and felt that he had conveyed everything he wanted to say.Consciously completing the task, the brown-haired knight turned his head sideways, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked in the direction Adrian had just gone.

Not far from him, the mermaids hesitated.

Some people think that this must be another conspiracy of cunning human beings, and the people of the same race must not listen to it.Some people think that humans don't need to be so troublesome. If they really want to get pearls from them, they can just ask for a contract.

They had already seen the power of that thing, and felt the presence of the contract from the brown-haired knight.Such a person, there is no need to "deal" with them.

In this situation, the other party offered ten bags of pearls in exchange for freedom, maybe it was true?

During the dispute, a mermaid said: "He seems to be leaving."

All the mermaids looked at Feit in unison.

Feit is taking steps frankly.Before leaving, leave a sentence: "I will check the pearls in a day."

Then, he actually left.

It is very different from all the valley leaders the mermaids have seen before, including the buyers who came to visit.

It is said that mermaids are the most sensitive creatures to emotions.At this moment, they were indeed subtly aware that the brown-haired knight hadn't the slightest interest in them from beginning to end.

On the contrary, all his thoughts are hung on a certain existence in another direction.Those dark longings that were about to overflow, but were suppressed by the knight, from beginning to end, only existed because of the silver-haired youth in the distance.

Already some mermaids are crying.Unlike before, this time, what they shed were tears of joy.

After a while, Feit stood behind Adrian.

Unlike the rapid progress on his side, the situation on Adrian's side is obviously much more complicated.

He was talking to a noble boy in front of him: "You must make sure that your family will not be ashamed because of you. Otherwise, it is better to stay."

"What can I do if I stay?" the boy asked.

Adrian said, "Work."

The boy's eyes widened, but Adrian had only one sentence left.

Work?What kind of work and what can I do.

The boy's expression became much darker, and he said, "Please let me think about it again."

Adrian nodded expressionlessly, and turned to the cage on the other side.

Seeing that his progress was slow, Feit sighed and said, "Let me help you."

Adrian pursed his lips helplessly and muttered, "You are too fast."
