C2343 Buy Cao Ji and Qing Pi
An extravagant carriage stopped in front of the Eastern City Slave Market, and two Snakeskin man s walked out of the carriage. The two Snakeskin man s were dressed extravagantly. The male had a tall and straight figure, while the female was beautiful and charming.
These two Snakeskin man s were Xia Lei and the humanoid undead flamingo, Burning Flame.
Xia Lei received the news from Cai Jianren. Cao Ji and Qing Pi were captured and turned into slaves, and were being sold in the slave market in the Eastern City. This was also why Xia Lei and undead flamingo Fen Yan were here. Although he didn't know why the two Snakeskin man s were captured, he had no choice but to save them.
The slave market in the east city was bustling with people, and all kinds of slaves made people dazzled. The undead flamingo s, Fen Yan held Xia Lei's arm, looking like a obedient little wife.
"If you think too much, I'll kill you!" The sound of the undead flamingo's flames was very soft, but it was filled with threat.
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "You're a bird, I don't dare to be interested in birds."
Many people shifted their gazes, sizing up Xia Lei and the undead flamingo Burning Flame who was holding Xia Lei's arm.
"The world is getting more and more incomprehensible. Snakeskin man is wearing such gorgeous clothes to stroll the slave market? This is the first time I've seen such a thing in years. "
"Isn't it? They should be sold as slaves in cages. "
"The man is not worth much, the woman should be worth some money. If it's for you, I'm willing to pay fifty black gold. "
"I heard that the Snakeskin man woman's place is ice, don't you want that piece of yours to freeze off? "Hahaha!"
The more he spoke, the more unbearable his words became.
A hint of anger surfaced in the undead flamingo's Burning Flame's eyes, and was about to flare up.
Xia Lei quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around its waist, controlling it. He whispered into its ears, "If we don't restrain your fiery temper a little, we'll be exposed here. There are a lot of spies from the Black Sun's camp in this market."
undead flamingo Burning Flame suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not say anything.
"Heh!" Snakeskin man, how about you look at my slaves? " A slave trader spoke to Xia Lei. Although he wanted to earn Xia Lei's money, his tone was full of contempt.
The Snakeskin man should be the lowliest race in the Dark Death World. However, this was not only because Snakeskin man's skin was like a poisonous snake, but also because they were always digging into people's graves.
Xia Lei stopped in his tracks, missing a glance at the cage beside the slave trader, which was even related to the dozen or so black-winged people in the cage. Soon after, his line of sight moved to a place a hundred meters away. There was a row of cages holding slaves, holding over a hundred slaves from different races. The guards were also wearing armor, looking majestic and majestic.
That was the place he was going to, the slave trading center. From the information that Cai Jianren provided, the two Snakeskin man s, Cao Ji and Qing Pi, were captured by the city guards and sent to the official slave trading center as slaves to be sold.
And it was also within this glance that Xia Lei saw two familiar faces in the distance. Cao Ji and Qing Pi, the two Snakeskin man s were in one of the cages. However, Cao Ji and Qing Pi didn't notice him at all. The two Snakeskin man s curled up in cages, and their clothes were tattered and full of scars.
"Why were they caught? Is that the mission I gave them? " Xia Lei couldn't help but guess in his heart.
Initially, his mission for Cao Ji and Qing Pi was to find a way to enter the Soul Returning Island as well as the temple on the island. After a long period of time had passed, the two Snakeskin man s were now slaves lying in cages, waiting to be sold. It was obvious that they had not completed the task he had given them.
It was the wisest decision to turn around and leave at this time. However, Xia Lei could not do such a thing, not to mention that they might be captured because of the mission he gave them. Also, until now, he still had a glimmer of hope that the two Snakeskin man s would be able to reap some rewards. After all, they had stayed in the imperial city for so long, and the Snakeskin man was innately good at finding paths that others couldn't find.
"Hey? I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? " The slave trader who greeted Xia Lei was slightly unhappy. He was a night watcher, and night watcher seemed to be born with even more nobility than a Snakeskin man.
Xia Lei retracted his gaze, and laughed: "I'm considering your suggestion just now, your goods look pretty good, are you planning to sell it this way?"
"It's a normal five hundred Black Gold rank one, but I have a better suggestion for you." The slave trader pointed to a young girl with black wings. "How about this? I didn't even touch it. It was still an original, and you wouldn't have touched it anywhere else. So her price is a bit more expensive, eight hundred black gold. "
Xia Lei said: "Alright, I will buy her, and also sell the two beside her to me."
The slave trader was overjoyed, "You are the most straightforward, noblest Snakeskin man I have ever seen. Alright, there's a total of 1800 Black Gold, just give me the money and you can take away the slave you want."
Xia Lei took out a bag of money and prepared to pay.
undead flamingo Fen Yan moved closer to his ear and said: "Didn't we come to buy those two Snakeskin man s? I already saw them. Why did you buy a black-winged slave? "
Xia Lei also whispered into its ear, "That is an official slave, buying a few Black Winged slaves is just a deceptive act. We will directly go over to buy two Snakeskin man slaves and those guys will suspect us."
The undead flamingo nodded and did not speak any further. More and more, it felt that if it didn't have Xia Lei's help, it simply wouldn't be able to see Little Flame. Xia Lei was very meticulous when it came to thinking and doing things, it was not something that it could compare to.
"What are you talking about?" The slavers were afraid that the business would go awry.
Xia Lei laughed, "My wife said that her stomach is a little hungry, let me settle this quickly."
"Haha, it won't be long." The slave trader then ordered his men to open the cage, and brought out the other two black-winged girls that he recommended to Xia Lei.
The two black-winged men were a husband and wife. To Xia Lei, they were the parents of the black-winged girl, and this was the reason why he wanted to add this couple. It was also a good thing to reunite the family of three.
The Black Winged couple and the Black Winged Girl looked at Xia Lei and the undead flamingo, Fen Yan, eagerly and cautiously.
Xia Lei paid them and took the key to the shackle the slaver gave him. Then he said, "Come with me."
The black-winged couple and the black-winged girl followed Xia Lei and the undead flamingo Fen Yan. The family of three remained cautious.
From a distance of a hundred metres, Xia Lei bought a few more butterfly man slaves and two rare treeman slaves before arriving at the official slave trading center. When he and undead flamingo Burning Flame arrived at the official slave trading center, she and the undead flamingo Burning Flame had already become a group of slaves.
Xia Lei pretended to observe the slaves inside the cage before imprisoning Cao Ji and Qing Pi.
An officer walked over and said impolitely, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Lei replied politely: General, we wanted to leave initially, but seeing the two clan members, I wonder what crimes they have committed?
"This is the official slave trading center, not a place to ask questions. Do you want to buy? If you don't want to buy it, then scram! " the officer said roughly.
"Alright, I've already bought quite a few slaves, so I don't need the two of them anymore." Xia Lei smiled, "General, what's their price?"
"Why did you buy them both?" The officer stared straight at Xia Lei. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through Xia Lei's thoughts.
However, it was clear that his ability wasn't enough.
Xia Lei replied politely: "General, seeing my own clansmen being sold as slaves is a bit difficult for me, so I want to buy them. Is there a problem? How much are they? "
"One thousand black gold each." the officer said.
"Ah?" So expensive? " Xia Lei looked very surprised, "General, you're asking for too high of a price, the butterfly man is not that expensive, how can you offer us some?"
"Eight hundred black gold!"
"Less, General."
Just as Xia Lei was bargaining with the officer, the gazes of Cao Ji and Qing Pi converged on Xia Lei. They tried their best to recall where they had met Xia Lei before, and what kind of friendship they had with him to help him. Whether it was Xia Lei or the Snakeskin man that the undead flamingo had disguised themselves as, they did not recognize any of them.
After bargaining for a while, Xia Lei finally bought Cao Ji and Qing Pi at the price of five hundred black gold each. This kind of price was the price for the Snakeskin man slaves that were sold the most in the slave market.
Taking the keys and documents that the officer gave him, Xia Lei brought a group of slaves, including Cao Ji and Qing Pei, and headed towards the entrance of the slave market.
The military officer took out a fifty-denomination black gold from the one that Xia Lei gave him and threw it to the person who took the money, "Do you know how to record this?"
The person in charge of collecting the money smiled, "I know, hehe, I'll be happy tonight."
The officer replied, "Not tonight. Those two Snakeskin man s are abnormal. Send two people to follow them and find a place to stay. We'll pay them a visit tonight."
The person in charge of collecting the money seemed to understand something. He chuckled and said, "The chance to get rich has come!"
On the other side.
"Sir, where are you from?" Cao Ji probed: "Have we met each other before?"
Xia Lei said: "Shut up, don't speak."
Cao Ji's lips moved, but he did not dare speak anymore. His current identity was a slave, and Xia Lei's identity was a slave master.
Xia Lei said in a low voice: "Someone is following us, Cao Ji Qing Pi, do you know where we are hiding?"
Cao Ji and Qing Pei could not help but look at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
A second later, Cao Ji said: "I know of a place that even the spies of the Black Sun Camp aren't willing to enter."
