A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

"If you can't further demonstrate your value, I will not help you restore your status in the firm..."

125. Luntia's Little Trouble ([-])

Twelve huge pillars with disc wings propped up the splendid hall. Prisna sat on the left side of Luentia at a distance of five meters, next to the window displaying rare (collection) items. The woman faced the curtain, and the curtain Behind the curtain is the large bath of Acacia.

It is not difficult to imagine that the Lord of the City is a talent who knows how to manage time, so that he can combine the functions of office, accommodation, play, reception, and conversation in one room.

The Luentia in front of her eyes was majestic, solemn, and bathed in radiance, but Prisna knew that there was nothing behind the radiant surface.

Luentia can still crush her to death with one hand, but this does not hinder the fact that she is strong on the outside but on the inside.

Prisna was able to plan to entrap the Corpse Snake Air Bandit at the age of 17, so naturally she would not be easily intimidated by superficial temperament.

Part of her instinctively expressed her fascination for Luentia, and Prisna guessed that this was influenced by certain abilities of the extraordinary.

The woman raised one leg and said lightly: "Isn't the value of my batch of fire source crystals worth? Is it not worth the value that Uenos placed in the inner line of the city that never sleeps? Or, the Duke thinks that I want to strip myself clean, A catty of meat is cut off and weighed side by side, and being a dog wagging its tail to please you, is this called 'valuable'?"

Luntia pressed her palms on the table, leaned forward slightly, stared at Prisna's fearless eyes, and said, "Aren't you?"

"I think the Duke is worthy of cooperation." Prisna glanced at Luentia contemptuously, moved her eyes away in disdain, and played with her purple nails. , thinking that it really looks good, and said lazily, "But compared to the big man behind me, if you want to put me on a dog leash, are you worthy?" The woman sneered, "You Luntia is just a member of the Church of the Sun Just a dog."

Luentia's majestic and majestic posture suddenly became gloomy, and the halo on his body also subsided a lot, making it more gloomy: "With a boat of fire source crystals, you dare to say that you have mastered the trade of a mineral vein, why don't the people behind you come forward in person? Come on? Do you think I will believe you to label the Gegel family as the insider of Uenos based on your own words?"

"You are so pitiful..." Prisna showed pity in her eyes, which looked particularly dazzling to Luentia, "After all, the Gegel family belongs to the chamber of commerce, and you took this city from the chamber of commerce, thinking that you can pass the Small favors and small benefits divided the major families, and when you were at the peak of your power, you might still be able to control it through in-laws...but now?" She sighed and shook her head, "Samo is dead, hehe, your arm controlling the flight path has been broken, you What are you using to threaten the chamber of commerce?!"

"It's empty talk, watch your tongue!" Luntia pressed five fingerprints on the table.

"Then assuming you have nothing to do with the corpse snake, my lord, why do you think that if you marry someone from the Gegel family, they have to be your dog? The franchise and tax-free treatment you gave them is rampant The smuggling is like a piece of waste paper, don't you think that the anti-radiation and food prices in the city that never sleeps are so high that they don't hoard them?"

"With the Church of the Sun here, Xiaoxiao can't make waves."

"Then why don't they directly join the Church of the Sun?"

Prisna's words directly crushed all the oppressive feelings that Luentia had accumulated.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "My lord, you are also a dog. Do you want to imagine how loyal the Gegel family is to you?"

Luntia closed her eyes and meditated, her calm brows finally wrinkled.He suddenly discovered that, including the Church of the Sun, he had no one worthy of trust.

"I, Prisna Valint, have always pursued the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If Uenos hadn't resolutely abandoned the Valint family when the Valint family declined, how could Valint have fallen to this point? To be honest, the two of us The shipment a month ago came from Uronos, and I begged him to give me one last chance... He told me that if I can successfully smuggle Lei Fangshi to the city that never sleeps, I will consider working with the Valint family again!"

Lei Fangshi!

Luntia was startled.

Even without any processing, Lei Fangshi is an explosive with extraordinary power, if it is used to cast spells...

Luentia had already imagined the scene of the unfinished Tower of Light being destroyed by thunder in a certain thunderstorm season.

"However, someone leaked my route..." Prisna smiled bitterly, "When I saw the retainers of the Gegel family at the place where the goods were picked up, I should have thought that Uenos would not give all the bets. Pressure on the Valint family... I believe that arrogant demigod disdains to kill me, after all, it is not profitable, but what about Gegel? Valint, Gegel, and the corpse snake are all blood feuds, And they happened to have served the Lord Duke..."

Luntia said: "What about Satsuma is purely his own decision."

This sentence is not half false.

The Valint family fell behind, and Luentia had no plans to kill them all.Firstly, Valint was weak in the Chamber of Commerce, and was abandoned after losing value to Uenos, so he was no longer a threat; secondly, Luentia left Valint, and he had plans to check and balance the Gerger family.

Under the open and secret struggle between Luentia and Uenos, Gegel and Valint also suffered a lot of blood and debts in the process of charging.

Summer made his own claim out of hatred, so who leaked Prisna's route?

If the Gegel family flirts with Uenos, then when encountering Prisna, they must try their best to kill her.Not only to wash away the enmity, but also to kill people, so as not to spread the news of their betrayal...

Luntia's rabbit died and the fox was sad--Walint family can be abandoned by Uenos, how can he be sure that the candidate for the Tower of Light must be himself?

After a long time, Luntia said slowly: "I will not pursue the matter of you framing the Gegel family..."

He believed that Prisna had indeed broken with Uronos, and even if the woman in front of him still wanted to kneel at Uronos' feet, that demigod would no longer believe in a trash who messed up the goods.However, Luentia is skeptical about the Gerger family.

It's not that I don't believe it, and it's not that I believe it completely.

Luntia continued: "As long as you prove to me that the source of the fire source crystal is true, I will ask the city government to return part of the assets of the Valint family. At the same time, the Duke's Mansion will give the Valint family the protection and anti-radiation protection they deserve. Franchise rights, enjoy tax-free treatment..."

Luntia was persuaded by Prisna.He needs the Valint family to increase its power within the chamber of commerce. The contacts and networks of these merchants cannot be meddled by him as an outsider.He also needs to put his chips in different baskets, so as not to be betrayed by the Gegel family.

Prisna said: "The secret script of my airship is the best proof."

Luentia shook his head: "The above secret text is indeed extremely mysterious, but how can I be sure that you didn't get windfall money from the ruins? If the people behind you really intend to do business, why do you have to hide your head and show your tail!?"

"People?" Prisna laughed, recalling Wojty and Chaga, making up ambiguous phrases in her mind, "Who told you that the big guy behind me is really a 'person'?" The woman stood up Come on, showing a servile arrogance, "They live in the kingdom of wisdom, feathers, and wind, and they don't bother to deal with cunning and despicable humans, so they need a servant, an agent, and you... what qualifications do you have to let me do this?" Where are they coming out?"

Luntia snorted coldly: "So, you want to be a white wolf without any sincerity?"

"That ship of fire source crystals is sincerity. If you want to prove it," Prisna twitched her lips, reported a coordinate, and then said, "You can negotiate with them yourself... Otherwise, prepare a ship for the Valint family." Heavy transport ship, in three months, you'll get what you want."

Luntia slammed his fist on the table, and the crystal shattered. He cursed angrily, "You think I'm an idiot? It's so easy to lie?!"

Prisna's response was uneventful: "Do you think the Church of the Sun allows you to do business with the people behind me?"

She then explained the reason why the "people behind" did not come forward from another level.

Luntia remained silent.

His deceit still did not reveal Prisna's truth, and the woman's answer was well-founded.

Not to mention that the Church of the Sun did not allow him to trade with the birds from the Land of Clouds, Luentia had to be very careful even if he "collected" taxes from the Grace House.

In essence, it was the funding provided by the Grace House to gain a firm foothold in the city that never sleeps.

The general range of business activities is only two or three surrounding airspaces. Luentia felt that unless she had actually seen the bird that was flying in the frost and the sun, it was impossible for Prisna to make up such absurd remarks.

"What does the Duke think?" Prisna asked with a smile.

She didn't know about the land where the clouds came from, or the land of thousands of birds, and even everything about the Gegeer family was a false accusation.

What the woman met when picking up the goods was the Doon family, they are the new agents of Uenos. As for how Samo got his own route and departure time... There are too many possibilities, most likely from within the chamber of commerce, many Things can't be studied.

Therefore, she handed over the true and false lists of members of the Dunn family, the Gegel family, and the great slave owner Kaisan to Luentia, pointing out that she is the insider of Uenos. She is not afraid of being exposed, but she is afraid of Lun Tia couldn't check it out.

No one is clean.

Prisna is betting, betting on Luntia's predicament and his suspicion.From the looks of it now, she clearly passed this first step steadily.The next step is to improve her strength in a limited time. If there are signs of being exposed, it is not impossible to take refuge in Uronos again. At that time, she will recover some use value to some extent.

"Very good," Luntia restrained his angry expression, pursed his lips with a blunt smile, and nodded repeatedly, "Very good, of course very good, I will give you three months," he said "gentlely", "Can you Don't let me down, Prisna, being a ferocious mastiff is not the same as being a wagging bitch after all..."

126. Lesbos

The Indigull Club and the Dilu family have also had a long-standing grievance, and the undeclared war between each other was carried out almost at the same time. When the hyenas of the Black Sand Mercenary Group attempted to behead the elders including Jotun, the Indigull Club also touched Dilu. In the mansion of the Lu family, the blood-soaked garden has not shed blood for weeks.

It's a pity that Celestine failed in Voyager's Bar, and the Indigull Club also didn't send a family portrait to the Diru family. The old Diru had already made preparations, and hid in the hiding place with his sons to control the situation behind the scenes.

On the second day of the war between the Indigo Society and the Dilu Family, the major gang associations in Shanggang all formed alliances and declared war. Compete for the market.

The pier is the most important thing. Most of the business in the commercial port is occupied here, and the bosses who occupy the pier can also make profits through smuggling.

This has seriously affected the income of Shanggang.

In the afternoon of the next day, the City Lord's Mansion personally sent internal guards to suppress the chaos, and six "heavy cavalry" eliminated from the Holy Manro Empire took control of the struggle at the pier, ensuring the interests of the merchants and suppressing all parties.

The annexation of gangs changed from the blatant demolition of walls and bombing of buildings to round-the-clock sneak attacks and assassinations.

Recently, many members of the Indigull Club were sent to the Voyager Bar. Cloris would help those who could be saved. If they died of excessive blood loss on the way to the bar, there was nothing they could do.

The girl received a thank you fee of 27 Aegis in two days, and Jotun joked with her because of this: "I can help you sell the shop opposite and open a clinic. Being a doctor is more profitable than opening a bar."

Cloris rolled her eyes and said: "Come on, it's just convenient to treat trauma. You are shot every day now, of course the money will come quickly. Now even a fool can guess my companion skills. Those mafia can't wait to hack me into a monster." Feed the pigs at the eighth stage!"

That being said, Cloris doesn't have much to worry about.

"Have you settled on what I said?" she asked.

Yorton said: "The cash of the Indigo Club has been exchanged for guns and explosives. Most of the extra money is used to hire helpers and provide for the families of the dead members. Sim said that if you accept the employment and treat the injuries of the members, you can help Your weekly salary of thirty Aegis..."

"I can help members of the Indigo Club with treatment in my spare time. This is kindness, but if I do things for you for the sake of thirty Aegis, then kindness becomes an obligation. Old man, your president really knows how to plan carefully." Ke Norris shrugged and clearly refused.

She has the idea of ​​getting close to the Indigo Society, but before her strength is improved or the situation is clear, joining the Indigu Society means being completely involved in the vortex, which will delay a lot of time and opportunities.

Cloris thinks that Old Jotun is a good elder, the president of the Indigo Society...the two have never even met each other, and it is pure nonsense to think that she was born and died.

"If you are really short of cash, then Sim can guarantee for you and get a low-interest loan within [-] Aegis from Suyhan Bank." Jotun sighed and picked up Cloris' arm , stuffed a crumpled banknote into the girl's hand, "I'm already an old thing with half a foot in the coffin, what you're looking at is a bigger world, those people who spend their whole lives fighting each other on an island can't imagine .”

Without being pretentious, Cloris took back the fifty pounds and showed a smile: "I will leave at noon and help me with the loan when I come back."

Jotun shook his head: "I don't suggest you do this. Sim thinks that killing Selestan means you are tied to a chariot with the Indigo Society, and you have something to ask of him. If you and the Indigo People from the Club go to the Suyhan Bank, and wait until the speculation of joining the Indigo Club is confirmed in front of outsiders... There are already many people who think so, and you should be more vigilant when you travel."

Cloris couldn't help admiring—this heart is a little dirty.

Seeing the other members of the Indigo Club enjoying themselves happily, the girl thought the boss was such a decent person...

But after thinking about it, if he was an absolutely decent person, he would have been gnawed to the bone in this kind of place long ago.

After a little camouflage, "Shaqima" stepped into the trade area between Fern's Nest Town and the Municipal Square through the Oberan Gate.

Known as the most obscene (chaotic), most extravagant, and most absurd here, there are many commercial buildings, flower alleys, and contraband are overflowing. The largest slave shop in the city that never sleeps, "Titan's Kiss", is located like a shy and slightly closed flower bud. In the center, even the slaves who welcome and send off are not as skinny as the ones outside: the female slaves dance lightly, the male slaves are strong and strong, and the imaginative dress is like a vast sky covered with only a small cloud, covering the scorching sun .

The locals even gave the trade zone a woman's name: Aphra.

Cloris enjoyed it, but Aphra's heavy make-up and perfume just made her sick.No matter how reserved the graceful figure under the light veil is, and how generously she is tamed, in essence, she is always a fish in the sea who wants to refuse but has been squashed and trampled to death.

"This is corruption." Cloris murmured to herself.

Entering the Phoenixtail Butterfly Auction requires the "Star Emblem" handled by the Explorers' Guild. Therefore, after entering Aphra, she took off her Shaqima dress and returned to Cloris.

The Phoenixtail Butterfly Auction House does not have the inspection equipment of the Explorers' Guild. The scanning equipment at the entrance of the auction house can only confirm the authenticity of the star emblem, but cannot match the identity.

In theory, Cloris could get away with killing a passerby and stealing his star emblem.

However, if they are found out by the Explorers Guild, those guys who know astrology divination will never spare criminals lightly.

A large poster was pasted at the entrance of the Pteris Butterfly Auction. The main promotion on it was a withered mummy arm, and the strange thing "Hand of Moss".

It seems to be the undead monarch from the resting place, and the embryonic form of the spirit vein has been conceived in the long years.But the actual situation will be watery, and the identity of the monarch is likely to be false. After all, this kind of news that is only groundless has long been changed beyond recognition in the process of information dissemination.

However, being able to be evaluated as a "disastrous" grade is enough to become the most valuable item in the Phoenix Tail Butterfly Auction.It is useful in making materials, practicing spells, and holding ceremonies.

"Hazardous" grade materials are also easy to buy. If "bad catastrophe" is involved, the price of any item will increase exponentially, and the price fluctuations are extremely large.

For those who don't need it, it can be sold very cheaply, but for those who need it urgently, they often have to be sold at sky-high prices.

What the auction wants is this hype process. By claiming to attract buyers in demand from all over the world, once these people roll up, the final transaction price may be several times or even dozens of times the estimated price.

Cloris is not interested in this kind of strange thing that tends to be undead and cursed, and her main focus is on the finale——

A succubus from the legendary island of Lesbos.

127. Pteris Auction

Waiting for the guests at the gate of the Phoenixtail Butterfly Auction are two young and vigorous female guards. Their hair is coiled like flowers, and the carved violet hair accessories are covered with veils, covering half of their handsome cheeks. Their armors are inlaid with beads. Embedded with foil, light and delicate, it only guards the Chongguan pass, while the remaining slippery fields are covered by gauze curling like mist, which is thin and transparent.

In layman's terms, Cloris is called Bikini Warrior for short.

Whether the defense of this kind of dress is good or not is a problem, even the cloth armor from Xinshou Village is not as good as it!

and……

Unless it is close to a thunderstorm area scorched by lightning, or there is a special geographical environment on the island, the highest temperature in Ubud Noor's airspace will never exceed [-] degrees throughout the year.

Girls regard these sexy guards who are not afraid of the cold as a means of Pteris to attract customers, and are skeptical of their combat effectiveness.

However, the guards didn't have a trace of obsequiousness. If they were dressed in military uniforms, they would surely be able to dress up as generals who would fascinate even women.They meticulously checked Cloris' star emblem and the VIP card of the Canary Firm, and said, "Please follow me."

The exterior of the auction building is a square castle with columnar towers at the four corners. Under the dome of the central flower window is a bright booth that runs through five floors. The upper three floors are surrounded by semi-open boxes, and the lower two floors are row upon row. seat.

During non-auction periods, theater and ball work is undertaken here.

"Excuse me, do you need an escort?" The guard was respectful, and Cloris found it strange that the other party didn't show any strange expressions because of her age and attire.

An immature girl in a gray sweater coat and a brown plain cotton skirt, although far better than a beggar, compared with the rich people in Aphra, she looks like a beautiful mouse crawling out of a ditch.

"Accompany, accompany?"

"Yes, you can choose female slaves as your attendants and guides during the auction. They are well-trained and impeccable, so you can use them with confidence."

"Use?!" Cloris was ashamed, is it the kind of use she understands?

"Each of the female slaves of Pteris is at least seven years of maid training. They have a little knowledge of literature, art, humanities, board games, massage and foot bath... If you feel bored during the auction, an escort can help you eliminate Boring and boring, they have previewed every auction item and can act as your guide..."

Cloris roughly understood.

Starting from the day before yesterday, the auction held by Pteris Butterfly Firm will last seven days and [-] times, each of which will take a long time. Correspondingly, the quantity and quality of the auction items can be called once every ten years in the entire Ubud Nuoer airspace. meet.

There are restaurants, casinos, massage parlors, art halls and other leisure and entertainment places inside the auction house. Female slaves can accompany customers to pass the boring time, and will also remind customers when the auction items they need are ready to be auctioned.
