A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

309. Two or three things about the phoenix-tailed butterfly

As the year approaches, the city that never sleeps has finally survived this extremely difficult time.

Peach blossoms are inlaid with red, jade pillars are gilded, and the Phoenix Tail Butterfly Auction House is as grand as ever, especially after joining the city council. Although it does not have the power of final judgment due to its status as an outsider, it can also promote its own interests by influencing other seats.

With Luentia II raiding and suppressing hostile factions, most of the valuable assets flowed into the Pteris Auction House for auction. Extra consumption.

The Chichikoya insect boss behind it even bought the largest slave center in Aphra, "Titan's Kiss". Of course, the insects did not enter the human slave market, but transformed "Titan's Kiss" into a The largest entertainment center in the city that never sleeps, it has casinos, theaters, museum exhibitions, and... mahjong parlors and many other facilities.

The women's bathing place filled with warm mist, strange stone carvings meandering in the intricate corridors, verdant vines hide flowers and fall stems, luxuriant grasses and buds, ancient rocks depict the entanglement of vicissitudes under the long river, ambiguous purple light in the dark Each room is accessible in a quiet atmosphere, the blue waves of the pool are rippling with rose petals, and the lively competition in the auction is being played on the screen.

Fanny put the gold-streaked wormtail back from the tailbone into the spine, bent down, stroked Bellanka's rabbit ears, and loved the drunken slave girl.

Bellanca wasn't drinking, but she was still tired and drunk.

"Bellanka, do you want to sleep for a while?" Fanny massaged her shoulders, hot water washed the red burn marks on her skin, and her knuckles rose and fell along arcs.

"Well... just sleep for a while."

This period of time was regarded as the most relaxing moment for Bellanka.

During the curse period, Fanny rescued more than a dozen civilians during a riot, and was rewarded by the authorities for her meritorious service in evacuating the victims, and she was also promoted.

As for Bellanca... These few months have been a period of high revenue for the Phoenix Tail Butterfly Auction House. In addition, after the firm acquired Titan's Kiss, the business scale has more than doubled. A slave employee like her, even if the performance is not high, still takes To the bonus of up to thousands of Aegis.At the same time, the original female slaves of the auction house could no longer meet the manpower needs of the work. In addition to borrowing female slaves from the headquarters, the Chichikeya bought a group of young, beautiful and high-quality refugees from the slave market for training.

Especially recently, Fanny's two mothers, sister and sister-in-law have transferred a sum of money into the account. In addition to Fanny and Bellanka's savings, there are more than 700 Aegis, and Fanny will be able to transfer Bellan The card is fully redeemed...and then becomes your own personal slave.

With the addition of newcomers and the current situation that Bellanka can be redeemed within three or four years at the most, the Phoenixtail Butterfly Firm made slight adjustments to Bellanka's work.The little rabbit still treats guests normally most of the time, but it will take one or two working days a week to train newcomers. In this way, after the little rabbit and the bugman are combined, whether they stay in the auction house as a "mentor" or Bellanca has more options for transferring to other departments.

This feeling is very subtle. It should be a sad thing to tame other slaves as a slave, and it is a tarnish and trample on dignity, but Bellanka has long been used to it, and she has almost forgotten to come to the Phoenix tail butterfly. What a miserable situation I had before the firm, I can only remember the security and happiness of being a female slave to insects.Even if she could resist her status as a slave at this moment, she didn't want to resist anymore.

Many times, Bellanka would feel that this is the meaning of life, in Fanny's arms.

Of course, Bellanka felt that the benefits she received recently were also due to that guest...

Who would have thought that a young girl would be the principal of an evangelical reformatory that sits on half of the commercial port?Miss Cloris would occasionally come to the bathhouse to relax and play mahjong for a long time, and she was responsible for receiving these.

Following the negotiation between the director of Chichikoya and Miss Cloris of the auction house, I don't know if the director decided that she has such a broken relationship with Miss Cloris, and the treatment of her has obviously improved a lot. Bellanca couldn't help wondering whether to continue working in the city that never sleeps for a while after the redemption.

One reason is that Fanny was promoted in the auction house, and it will take some time to secure her position as the captain of the guards. Second, the city that never sleeps is in the window of prosperity and is full of development prospects.

Save a little more money, among other things, at least when their future worms also fall in love with slave girls like Bellanka, they can confidently redeem new members back to their homes...

"I have adapted to the life of a slave..."

Recalling her strong rejection of Miss Cloris' proposal to abolish slavery, Bellanca couldn't help but smile wryly.

She couldn't imagine the day when she lost her master, even though Fanny was gentle and weak to her, but Fanny was her master, and the meaning of Bellanka's life was to think for Fanny, for Fanny's happiness, for Fanny. Ni and her future children to think about.

Without these considerations, she will lose her support.

"What's the matter...?" Fanny asked her primly.

The bugman didn't really want to stay in the city that never sleeps, she was afraid of Cloris.

Even if she is dull by nature, she still knows how terrible it is to kill a decisive human being. How can Fanny feel at ease when such a dignitary targets Bellanka and always names the little rabbit to serve her?

But Bellanka seems to have a strong desire to stay in the city that never sleeps, and Fanny doesn't want to oppose Bellanka's decision.As long as the little rabbit still has even the slightest love for her, she is willing to support Bellanka's choice.Even if she doesn't love her anymore...she is still determined.

"Nothing..." Bellanka shook her head and asked, "What did the mother and sisters say in the letter?"

"They asked me to marry you back." Fanny slowly hugged her tightly from behind.

"The city that never sleeps is developing so well, how about..." Bellanka hesitated, "I will stay for a while after I redeem it? The auction house has raised my salary, I think..."

"Um……"

Suddenly, Bellanca noticed that Fanny's strength was getting stronger and stronger, her whole body was tightened, and she was gradually out of breath.

At the same time, Xiao Chongzi's torso shook slightly, and she trembled.

"Fanny..."

"Beranca, you won't leave me, will you?"

"What silly things are you talking about, of course I won't!"

"But that Cloris... Bellanca, I'm afraid that you will be taken away by the rich and powerful. You have a good impression of her..."

Fanny's words made it difficult for Bellanka to answer, and the little bug went on to say, "Even if you want to like her... please take me with you... okay?"

Fanny's sobs sounded like the intermittent flapping of a dragonfly's wings.

"Fanny..." Bellanka knew that Fanny had misunderstood, she held the worm-man's arm and asked her to hug her tightly, and said frankly, "Listen, I do have a crush on Miss Cloris, She's beautiful, rich, understanding..."

Bellanca's words made Fanny even more sad, but the little rabbit changed the subject and said solemnly: "But, she will never be better than Fanny. Miss Cloris and I may be friends, but we will never develop to that point." One step, only you!" She turned around slowly, cupped Fanny's face, and called her and Fanny's nickname, "You will love me, won't you, little bug?"

The bugman burst into tears——

"Um……"

310. Two or three things about the phoenix-tailed butterfly (2) [[-]+] [reward on offer]

For Bellanca, the life of the slave girls in the auction house was far more comfortable than the outside world.

There is no need to worry about food and clothing, stable vacations, and no obvious safety hazards at work. Even when ghouls are wandering around, the interior of the auction house is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if you receive guests, you don’t have to serve them with your body like the wandering warblers all over the street. This is related to the racial characteristics of the Chichikoya. Sexual harassment from other Chichikoya employees.

As for Bellanka, who has an insect-human companion and recently hooked up with the director of the correctional institution from the supervisor's point of view, her quality of life should be in the middle and upper reaches of the entire city that never sleeps.

She and Fanny are on duty today, and the task is to invite Miss Cloris to participate in the opening speech of the first Pteris Corolla Mahjong Contest. This is the first time that Little Rabbit has left the resplendent and resplendent building of the auction house after coming to the city that never sleeps.

What Bellanka didn't know was that Cloris's many negotiations with the supervisor were all carried out by her unconsciously.

The supervisor deliberately used Bellanca to find an opportunity to chat with Cloris. In theory, the little rabbit brought more than one million Aegis to the firm. The fact that the Phoenixtail Butterfly Firm participated in the city council is priceless It was successful, but the little rabbit and the little bug were kept in the dark, so that they still have to fight for the redemption fee of more than 2000 Aegis.

At the end of the year, Cloris had learned a lot of practical operations from Ariente, and now she returned to the reformatory for more in-depth theoretical study and meditation training.

After the situation stabilizes, the girl is gradually delegating power, "Big Charity Human Resources Management Company", "Valint Family Transportation Company", "Commercial Port and Shenfeng Lake Residents Committee", "Gospel Correctional Institute", "Commercial Port City Guards" ... These organizations or forces are independent. Although they cooperate with each other, they cannot do without the coordination of the girl. Even if a rebellious boy is born one day, it is impossible to immediately link up with all parties to take her out of the sky.

Moreover, this is the worst plan. As long as Cloris maintains the growth and mystery of her own strength, she will be able to sit back and relax until the size of the forces she controls is too large.

Except for the evangelical correctional school and the residents' committee that belong to her direct control, whether Walsey Kahler, Prisna Valint or the city guards from the gang must have their own calculations, but in the short term, even if They seek their own interests in private, and for the time being, they will not be arrogant enough to erode the overall situation. At the moment of healthy development, the girl is not too worried about the future.

Before visiting Cloris, Bellanka first went to the church in Zaoxing Street Square. After several months of construction, the church has been completed, and the square is full of people. It is impossible to let itinerant vendors gather here again. After the renovation or reconstruction of the surrounding buildings, they are several floors higher than the original ones. Residential communities and high-end apartments have been added. The shops on the street are also full of lively restaurants and beautiful women. Perfume shops, dazzling jewelry shops, clothing stores, hostels, hotels, clubs... and all kinds of office buildings.

The idea of ​​going to the church is also very simple. Bellanka rarely goes out once. She wants to take a walk and see more, and pay homage to Cloris's faith by the way, so as to increase her goodwill.

There are quite a few half-orcs in the city that never sleeps, accounting for about [-]% of the city's population, so rabbitmen are usually not too eye-catching when walking on the street.However, Bellanca's well-maintained skin and trained figure are outstanding, even if there are red burn marks, the flaws are not concealed.

"Next Thursday, the Kenklaw Hotel and the church will jointly launch a new dish 'Sun Bug Favor', and hold a new Big Eater Competition at the same time. The No.1 participant can get [-] Kenklaw Hotel Crazy Free meal coupons on Thursday!"

At the door of the church, a nondescript but eye-catching young woman dressed in a nun-style maid outfit released her vitality, distributing leaflets to those who came to pray.

"This is...the church?" Bellanka was a little confused. Although she did not leave the auction house, she could learn about the outside world and even hear many secrets that ordinary people cannot know from the guests. She couldn't help feeling, " As expected of the church Miss Cloris believes in, it’s really close to the people.”

Shit close to the people...

Fanny cursed in her heart.

She also didn't know how the cruelest Church of the Sun could be packaged like this.

"Hello..." Bellanka stepped forward to greet her.

"Hey, beautiful and colorful Miss Orc!" The maid was very cheerful, and sent a leaflet to Bellanka, "Please be sure to participate in our Big Eater Competition, we have a special female competition group, and the food will be served in the competition." It will definitely make your mouth water!"

"you are……"

"Oh, my name is Taffey."

"No, I mean, you're a nun here...?"

"I'm a nun's assistant, helping the church with some chores," Tai Fei carelessly carried the signboard, with a ruddy and healthy face, "Would you like to take a look?"

Carrie was right, Taffey had almost unlimited energy, and if she didn't work during the day, she would suffer at night.

"But you are the church, why would you do such a thing?" Bellanka's big eyes were full of great confusion.

"Because to maintain the operation of the church, we also need to subsidize the deficit of the free cafeteria!" Tai Fei said as a matter of course, "and what's wrong with that? We charge advertising fees to promote restaurants that bring delicious food to the general public. It's the boo-kiss that the little saintess said!"

"Hit...a boo-kiss?"

"Oh, I don't know where the uncommon vocabulary came from. It sounds a bit similar to Teribi's language. It seems to be translated... a win-win situation?"

Neither Cloris nor Robert forbade the church to accept some foreign business on its own. Now that it is short of money, they naturally tried every means to turn over funds. Even the current activities are the result of Cloris's occasional plan.

Of course, for Party A in the advertisement, the staff of the correctional center will still conduct a comprehensive review of its qualifications to ensure that there are no potential safety hazards.

Now, any businessman who wants to do business in the Southern Commercial Port and Shenfeng Lake must first go to the Evangelical Correctional Institute to "worship the pier", and then go to the city government to apply for a business license.

If it were replaced by other centralized territories, no lord would allow such a powerful and unstoppable force to exist. However, the current city that never sleeps is governed by multiple parties, and the decree of the lord Luentia II can only affect the Duke. The vicinity of the government and the eastern commercial port, and after the negotiations between Cloris and all parties, the interests are clear and do not conflict with each other. Therefore, no one thinks that there is any excess in the Gospel education.

Everyone cultivates their own one-acre three-point land, as long as they don't put their hands in my field, then it's up to you.

It's not that Cloris didn't back down. At least she didn't intervene too much in the issue of slavery and the transfer of high-quality land. Instead, she chose to join in and purchased several islands for the Gospel Correctional Institute.

This opened Bellanca's horizons.

She has suffered before, and knows that the life of the bottom people is not even as good as that of animals, so she is so dependent on her status as a slave girl that she is almost obsessed with it. Some understand that Cloris asked her if she needs to get rid of her slavery.

Bellanka chose to refuse, and she still refuses now.She understood Cloris, but Fanny was everything to her.

Just as she was thinking about it, Tai Fei next to her looked curiously at her: "Hello—" She moved closer, but fortunately stopped at a distance of one foot. Fanny almost made a move, and Tai Fei asked, "Can I touch it?" Do you touch your ears?"

311. Two or three things about the phoenix-tailed butterfly (3) [[-]+] [reward on offer]

"Can I touch your ear?"

There is a childlike greed and evil in the innocent and ignorant words.

When Bellanca heard this, her slender rabbit ears drooped immediately. At the same time, the tall and tall Fanny stepped forward and protected the little rabbit behind her.

After all, Tai Fei was a trained human "high-quality" maid. Seeing the reaction of the two, she immediately understood that she was being rude.Her usual beauty doesn't have any affinity advantage in front of the two more gorgeous beauties.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Tai Fei bowed deeply, stepped aside, and showed a cheerful smile, "However, if you have time, I still invite you to taste the rare delicacy!"

Fanny relaxed. She didn't think the woman in front of her was more attractive than the dean. Even Cloris couldn't really win Bellanka's heart, and this woman naturally couldn't.

She just didn't want someone she didn't know to offend Bellanka's ears.Since the apology was sincere, Fanny of course chose to forgive.

Entering the church, a priest is presiding over the prayer service.

After Maxi's death, Mines presided over Drunken Country, and Robert was promoted to the Chief Priest under Mines' recommendation. The divine rank has not changed, but in terms of real power, he has been regarded as the leader of the Church of the Sun in the city that never sleeps. After he was promoted, three of his subordinates The deacon was also promoted to priest, and he was in charge of several cathedrals in the city that never sleeps.

When everyone was praying, this pious atmosphere showed a kind of infecting subtlety. After looking around for a while, Bellanka also imitated the appearance of a believer and prayed devoutly.

After the prayer, the priest recited a short scripture and took out a donation box. There are not many rules, and believers can donate by themselves.

Bellanka walked over, took out a banknote with a denomination of ten Aegis, threw it into the donation box, and asked, "What is the money for?"

"Orphanage," the priest explained gently, "too many children were sold into slavery by their parents during the famine. This fundraising refers to adopting those abandoned children and cultivating them into usable materials."

Bellanka nodded. She thought of her parents, but she couldn't remember what they looked like, nor could she recall whether she was abducted or separated. She took out another ten-aegis bill and said, "I hope I can help you a little bit.”

"Praise the sun." The priest prayed.

"Praise the sun."

After coming out of the church, Bellanka felt a faint sense of satisfaction. When she thought that she could help some cute and lively children who had never met before, she not only smiled happily.

"Praise the sun." Bellanka couldn't help saying to herself.

This made her think of those children in the auction house, the slave girls who were bought by the bug people.There is a long-term training, or domestication process, from a slave to a female slave dedicated to the auction house. Only individuals with outstanding performance will be accepted by the auction house. This kind of selection seems to be a kind of call in the collective consensus of the internal staff of Pteris. gift.

Slaves who are not selected will be sold back into the market, facing an unpredictable future.

However, is the selected child really willing to be a slave, even if the life in the Phoenix Tail Butterfly Auction House is comfortable?Bellanka was already used to it, but she couldn't help but think of a girl who was trained by her before, who begged herself, hoping to let her go and look for the lost parents.

This kind of uncooperative attitude, Bellanka usually can only give it up, and then sell it back to the market by the auction house, but can such a child really survive in the slave market?And even if the child passes the selection, there are still several years of training before she can officially enter the job, and it will be 30 to [-] years before she can really redeem herself, where will she go to find her parents?

Only at this time, Bellanca suddenly thought: it is a tragedy to be a slave.

But in any case, Bellanka does not reject her own identity.

Guided by the staff of the correctional center, Bellanka finally came to Cloris' office. Different from the dark but ambiguous warm environment of the bathhouse, Miss Dean's office was so dark that there was only a gleam of light, flickering. The lampshade illuminated half of her face, the room was as cold as a ghost drifting by, the layout was neat like a nailed model, and Bellanca, who had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, couldn't help but slipped his feet due to the bleakness of the environment. The carpet was dragged a few inches forward, and she managed to stand still, but she saw Miss Cloris suddenly raised her head, a pair of deep black eyes under the orange light did not reflect any light, like a deep stream.

"You, you, you..." Bellanka stuttered suddenly. She usually met Cloris in a comfortable bathhouse. She didn't expect the girl to be so scary in such a cold office. She said, " Hello, Miss Cloris!"

"You can still call me Cloris." The girl at the desk lighted the desk lamp slightly, her dark eyes turned gentle, "Please sit down."

Following her words, the chair was pushed to Bellanka, and the messy carpet was pulled flat by the invisible thread.
