1067: Purchase of slaves, unusual weather
Busen City.
The rain soaked through the dirt beneath the streets, and an indescribable stench wafted through the wet thoroughfares.
Slave Market.
Li Changkong led his warhorse here and saw that the trade was very lively.
Slaves are basically seen in every City on the entire Magic Continent.
Because of the huge profits in this market, coupled with the lack of technical content, such a large market has been created.
In some Cities, the buying and selling of slaves has even become a pillar industry!
"Boss, do you have Alien slaves?" Li Changkong covered his face when he arrived here.
In the slave market, Alien slaves account for a large proportion.
This forced him to dress like this.
" Alien slaves?" The Fatty, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, heard Li Changkong's words and yawned, "There are many, what grade do you want?"
"Old Man and Child are 5 gold coins each, and if you buy more, you can get a discount."
"Strong youths are 20 gold coins, and beautiful women are 30 gold coins."
"For Alien slaves who know some specialized skills, such as raising horses, planting, or managing affairs, the price is higher."
"If you only buy three to five, we don't support selection."
The Boss casually stated the situation.
Hearing this, Li Changkong's emotions were very calm: "One thousand gold coins, how many can I buy?"
"One thousand gold coins?" Hearing this, the Boss lying on the chair finally became much more energetic.
After sizing up Li Changkong, a look of respect appeared on his face, like a normal merchant treating a customer: "Haha, you can buy a lot with that!"
"May I know how the guest is addressed?"
"Li."
"Mr. Li!" The Boss puffed out his big belly, his face beaming with a smile: "Mr. Li, if you want to buy Alien slaves with one thousand gold coins, you've come to the right place!"
The burly Man said as he walked out of the shop: "Come, I'll take you to choose some slaves that will definitely satisfy you!"
...
Evening.
It was evening time, but the sky was already completely dark.
The oppressive dark clouds had replaced the original sky, forming a Black Night of their own.
During this time, Li Changkong had spent one thousand gold coins.
And his harvest was the thirty young men and women behind him.
Although they were all young and strong, none of these people had any vitality.
They were dejected, their eyes unfocused, like empty shells that couldn't see the future, just numbly following Li Changkong all the way out of Busen City.
Looking at some of the wounds under their thin clothes, one could understand the torment they had suffered before.
"What's your name?" Li Changkong looked at a strong, bald Man among them, who was one meter ninety tall and had the most surging vitality, and asked.
This Man was originally an Apprentice Knight, but later he was seriously injured after offending a Vog Country citizen.
He barely survived with some luck and tenacious willpower.
Although he survived, his strength could not recover.
But even so, he was considered a very strong ordinary person below an Apprentice Knight.
"Master, I don't have a name, whatever Master says I'm called, I'm called." The bald Man's voice was low, with respect in his words.
Li Changkong heard this, and then looked at a magic scroll in his hand.
This magic scroll was the item that controlled these slaves!
Each of these people's lives was contracted onto the magic scroll by the seller using the power of magic.
And Li Changkong, who bought them, could control their life and death with the magic scroll in his hand!
"Boom~"
The thunder became much clearer, and the rain curtain also became larger.
Li Changkong put away the magic scroll, and then looked at the bald strong Man and said: "What was your name before?"
"My name was Puri before, given by my previous Master."
Hearing this, Li Changkong's eyes flickered: "From now on, you will be called Lizhuang."
"Yes, Master." Lizhuang said dully.
"Don't call me Master, call me Village Chief." Li Changkong said, and at the same time pulled off his mask.
When his Alien face appeared before everyone, it immediately caused a slight commotion.
Some people were excited after the surprise, while others were dissatisfied when they saw an Alien become their Master.
"Let's go." Taking in the expressions of these slaves, Li Changkong didn't explain too much, mounted his horse, and led the crowd towards Li Village.
He didn't choose to directly tear up the magic scroll that controlled the life and death of these slaves, directly giving these people freedom.
Su Liang's betrayal was still vivid, and Li Village wanted fresh blood, which was no longer just about appearance.
Only when these slaves' sense of belonging reached a certain level could the magic scroll be torn up.
The journey was boring.
The thirty slaves in the back, after discovering that their Master was an Alien like them.
They were obviously much more relaxed.
But during the journey, Li Changkong's brows gradually furrowed.
He found that... the sky was really getting darker and darker.
Although rain would cause the evening weather to become dark and heavy, no matter what, it couldn't be the current situation where the road four or five meters ahead was unclear!
"This weather..." Looking up at the completely dark sky above his head, a sense of unease suddenly arose in Li Changkong's heart.
"Help, don't eat me, don't eat me, ah!"
Suddenly, a mournful cry came from the front of the road.
Hearing this sound, Li Changkong's hand immediately rested on the long sword at his waist.
The large group of slaves behind, most of them had fear in their eyes!
And Lizhuang, along with a few strong youths, protected Li Changkong's side.
"Village Chief, be careful, it's a Despair Whisper Demon!" Lizhuang clearly had an understanding of this type of monster.
Just by hearing the sound, he confirmed the other party's existence.
And because of Lizhuang's words, the slaves behind were even more filled with fear.
"It's only evening now, why are The Black Night monsters coming out at this time?" Li Changkong's brows furrowed tightly.
In the past years, he had seen this situation where the sky was completely dark due to the weather.
But in that situation, Black Night monsters had never appeared, but now there was an exception!
"Pain, pain, pain, it hurts so much!" In the suddenly approaching sound, a blurred Black Shadow directly pounced on Li Changkong!
"Boom!"
In the sky, a striking flash of lightning, as if cheering for the monster.
Under the flashing light, the monster's hideous appearance made countless people tremble with fear!
However, Li Changkong did not shrink back or fear at all.
In the trembling eyes of everyone, he swung the long sword in his hand with a roar!
"Buzz~"
The Light Faith suddenly erupted with a rich glow from the blade of the long sword.
In an instant, the heavy sword directly struck the Despair Whisper Demon that was attacking!
The power belonging to a Formal Knight was suddenly infused!
"Rip~"
With the sound of leather tearing, a part of the Despair Whisper Demon's limbs fell to the ground.
Under the infiltration of Holy Light, it quickly burned to ashes!
"Wu wa!" The monster, instantly heavily injured, let out a strange roar.
In just a moment, it fled and disappeared without a trace!
"Go!" Li Changkong urgently called out to the group of shocked slaves behind him.
Although he didn't know why monsters would appear at this time of day.
But the fact was so.
The longer they stayed in the wild, the more dangerous it would be, and they had to return to the Village as soon as possible!
Only by lighting the spiritual lamp would they be safe!
He also didn't know if the people in the Village had noticed the current danger and if they had lit the spiritual lamp in advance.
...
...
That night.
The wild was unusually dark and heavy tonight.
Busen City.
The members of the department that managed the entire City, the Holy Light Array, gathered together tonight, appearing restless.
"The radiation range of the Holy Light Array tonight is actually limited to the outside of our Busen City's city walls, this is simply unbelievable! What on earth is going on?!"
Magicians in the department walked back and forth.
And in the huge conference hall, there were three elderly powerful Magicians.
At this moment, they were discussing the issue of the Array Formation.
The meaning of the Holy Light Array to Busen City is equivalent to the spiritual lamp of Li Village.
This Array Formation had been running steadily all along.
Until tonight, after the darkness enveloped by the heavy rain arrived today, the Holy Light Array had its first problem!
Fortunately, their Holy Light Array could still cover the entire City, preventing Black Night monsters from breaking in.
But what made them unable to calm down was that they didn't know how long this situation would last.
And whether it would be more serious tomorrow!
"It should be those lightning bolts." Among the three elderly Magicians, the White-Haired Old Man in a green robe said in a low voice.
After his words were spoken, the other two Old Man looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, one of the Old Woman asked with some uncertainty: "Could it be that the disaster that destroyed the Holy Abby Principality many years ago has returned, and the target has become our Vog Country?!"
The Old Woman's words did not draw any refutation from the other two.
The golden-haired Old Man, who had been silent, also said hoarsely at this moment: "Strengthen the Holy Light Array, and don't act rashly during this period."
"I will go to the Western Main City with the City Lord and the other three Viscounts in the City. At that time, we can act after seeing what kind of response plan those Lords will determine."
"That's the only way. Facing the ominous dark lightning, whatever we do ourselves is too powerless and insignificant. We can only wait for the orders from those Earls and Marquis."
...
Inside Busen City.
No one in the City noticed the unusualness of tonight.
Few people would feel that the sky tonight had no Xingchen.
And that was all.
On the lively street.
Su Liang was dragging his injured body, walking step by step on the street under the supervision of an Advanced Magician next to him.
Before coming out, after his pleading, Raine used healing magic to repair some of the injuries on his leg.
But only some.
It only allowed him to walk normally and support tonight's stroll.
The Magician next to him looked at Su Liang, a hint of disappointment and pity flashed in his eyes.
He had also taught Su Liang magic for a while before, and at that time, he had been amazed by Su Liang's talent countless times.
He originally thought this Child would rise steadily and reach a considerably high level.
He didn't expect it to turn into what it is now.
"I want to buy something at the end, can I?"
Su Liang stood in front of a vendor selling things, and turned to look at the Magician next to him.
