Chapter 78 Axue, you have to seize the future (Part 2)

Slave market, this is everyone's spoken word.

There is a more professional name for the place where Liao and Ji have recently arrived, Siselagu.

Such a tongue-in-cheek name comes from the orc language, and is said to be the name of the former demihuman race. In order to commemorate the alliance of many races from all over the world, including their demihuman race, under the leadership of the Ash Emperor, they worked together and united.

, together they finally defeated the Abyss of Disaster, ended the source of the wasteland, stopped the horrific natural disasters from raging, and allowed the devastated land to regain its vitality.

It is a pity that after the scripture revision three hundred years ago, the orc language was completely removed. The demihumans did not even deserve to have their own language. They had to learn the Ash language from an early age. Over time, the true meaning of the name "Sselagu"

The meaning has long been forgotten by people, and it is simply regarded as a name left over from history.

Only a few people who have survived five hundred years ago may be able to understand the meaning of this orc language.

Probably means.

When the stars shine, right?

Liao Ji, who got off the carriage, looked at the big archway of "Siselagu", and below was a huge Fiao Sao market underground. However, in a normal Fiao Sao market, all the items sold were second-hand items.

And here.

Slaves are being sold.

"Sir! Do you want to come and take a look at this new batch of werewolves? The mercenaries specially captured them from a new tribe this time. They are absolutely fresh in breed and have high-quality abilities. They are good at guarding homes and nursing homes!"

"A precious species of deer! And it's still a juvenile that was captured when it was less than three years old! Such an excellent financial product, gentlemen who pass by must not miss it! There are only the last three left! Just buy it back

With a little feeding, you will be able to harvest a pair of finished antlers worth thousands of dollars in two or three years. It is definitely your best choice for investment!"

"Special sale! Dear gentlemen, we are lactating dairy goats who have just given birth to their babies. They are now controlled by our medicine and are still in estrus. After buying one and taking it home, we guarantee that the gentlemen will be able to sing every night! Taste it!

Definitely enough!”

Just like what is common in second-hand markets, stalls are crowded together one after another, and the owners of each shop are shouting hard to attract passing customers to patronize the products on their stalls.

The only difference is that the products on their stalls are one after another, dark and cold, large iron cages. Inside, there are all kinds of demihumans of different species, wearing collars and shackles, huddled in the iron cages.

A corner of the cage.

Taking Yi Lin with him, Liao Ji did not waste time at other stalls and went directly to find the internal slave merchant that Abu had circled for himself on the "recommendation list".

Liao Ji just walked into the other party's stall. The slave merchant, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, saw Liao Ji and Yi Lin following behind. His eyes immediately lit up, he recognized them, and he quickly stepped forward.

"You must be Mr. Liao Ji that Abu mentioned! Oops! I've been waiting for you. Hello, hello. I'm Hoggev. If you want to buy a slave, you must be right to look for our family.

!”

"The name Hogoff sounds like you don't sound like a local."

"Yes, I am a businessman from abroad, so don't worry, we are different from those black-hearted locals. I am very sincere and will never cheat you!"

"I believe you, then let's go directly to see the goods."

"Mr. Liao Ji is indeed as cheerful as Aibu said. Please come in quickly. I've already sent a waiter to pick out the best goods for you!"

Ordinary slave merchants have stalls, but big ones like Hogoff have their own store tents. After opening the curtain, Liao Ji looked inside, and a bunch of eyes were also looking at him.

Some are timid, some are afraid, some are nervous, some are looking forward to it, and some are...hateful.

These all come from the demihuman race in the cage.

"Come here, Mr. Liao Ji, I heard Abu introduce your situation. Based on the summary, I recommend this tiger tribe to you!"

Under Hogoff's words, the clerk slowly pushed over a cage that was slightly larger than the others. After lifting the curtain, there was a male demi-human with bulging muscles, thick hair, and gray and white stripes inside.

"The tiger people have always been the group with the strongest fighting ability among the demi-human races, and their appearance is also very good-looking. They are the best candidates to be used as guards. This one is an excellent breed and has very pure blood. It has always been regarded as my town guard.

Dear store owner, I will bite the bullet today and ask for 150,000 yuan. No, how about selling it to you for 130,000 yuan!"

Liao Ji did not respond immediately, but moved closer to take a closer look, but it seemed that he was aware of the outsider. The tiger man in the cage suddenly opened his eyes, and then roared at Liao Ji, and the chains around him

Under the tiger man's vigorous struggle, the entire cage was trembling.

At this scene, Hogoff was a little angry. While apologizing to Liao Ji, he turned around and cursed angrily.

"Bastard thing!"

He kicked the cage violently, and at the same time a crest in his hand began to glow. Then he saw the Khajiit in the cage began to look in pain, his face twitched, a dazzling red light emitted from the back of his neck, and finally he lay down humbly.

, I don’t dare to move anymore.

"You have seen it, Mr. Liao Ji, it looks scary, but we have a "contract", so there is no need to worry about its loyalty, let alone its danger."

"A contract?"

This was the first time for Liao Ji to observe how the "slave system" worked at close range. He murmured to himself, and then felt the girl's gaze coming from behind him.

Yes.

Erin also noticed this similar feeling of familiarity, even the position of the coat of arms on the back of her neck was the same.

Although there are definitely very fundamental differences between the two.

But there is no doubt about it.

Same origin.

Liao Ji is very sure of this.

The creators of the contracts on these orc slaves in the Dragon Kingdom definitely made reference to his Emperor's Contract, and even directly imitated it, swallowed the jujube, transformed into a simplified version, and successfully realized one of the basic abilities of his "Emperor's Contract"

——Absolute control.

After that, Liao Ji asked Hogev to take him around for a few more times, and this time, when he deliberately felt the backs of the orcs' necks, the sense of familiarity became even stronger.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Hogoff, but there really isn't anything I like. I'll go look at other people."

"No, no! Just tell me what you want. If others can get it, I, Hogoff, will definitely be able to give it to you, and there will definitely be a price discount!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Mr. Liao Ji!"

Ignoring the slave merchant who wanted to retain him later, Liao Ji and Yi Lin quickly disappeared among the crowd in the market.

Yilin obviously wanted to say something about the "contract" just now, but Liao Ji raised his hand to signal the girl to stop talking. He walked thoughtfully among the crowd.

First of all, even if it is a poor imitation, it is still an imitation, which means that the creator must have had a template, which is his own contract.

So. Could it be Jiuyou?

Without the slave contract, even if the demihumans could no longer use the relics and no more "relic users" came out, they would not be able to become the large-scale slaves they are now. After all, the combat effectiveness of the demihumans is inferior to that of ordinary humans.

Said, one must definitely have the upper hand.

But Liao Ji soon shook his head and denied this speculation.

The most powerful evidence is that Jiuyou is a Konoe, and the character and appearance of Konoe, as you can tell by looking at Yilin, are all careless and straightforward, and he has very low talent for the evil power.

If you want to complete this kind of task, you have to copy your own contract and modify it. This is such a difficult task. Among the five major professions, only one profession can do it.

Proficient in the supernatural system of spells.

so.

Could it be that "she" is behind the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom?

to be honest.

After realizing this, Liao Ji felt a little angry.

But how to say it.

These are just his guesses.

There is no accurate evidence yet.

He still has to continue investigating.

But Liao Ji sincerely hoped. This time he guessed wrong.

"Liao, Liao Ji, are you okay?" Yilin rarely called Liao Ji by his real name, but every time she spoke like this, it must be that the current situation was not good.

The young man shook his head and wiped away the sinking expression on his face. After taking a long breath, Liao Ji took out Abu's "recommended list" again.

He then took Yi Lin with him and pretended to visit several slave merchants' shops. After almost building up his image as a "picky rich young master", Liao Ji walked towards a slave shop located in an inconspicuous corner.

As mentioned before, a safe, hidden, and reasonable place to hide demihumans is the slave market.

But this cannot be done by demihumans alone. There must be a slave trader who is willing to cooperate with them.

It is actually very simple to find out the "internal response" of this sub-race.

What Liao Ji had thought before was that the other party would try to keep a low profile, so he could use Abu's recommendation list to eliminate all the slave merchants on it, and then look for those who only purchased goods but did not sell them.

But now, after discovering the secret of the slave "contract", Liao Ji has a simpler way.

"Sir, please stop, we don't sell slaves here, we only buy them!"

When Liao Ji and Liao Ji walked in, the boss who was guarding the door in person immediately stepped forward and apologized with a smile.

However.

As a dandy, Liao Ji yelled how could there be a slave merchant who didn't sell slaves? There must be good stuff hidden inside. He dodged the boss and walked quickly to the rear warehouse.
