On the boundless sea, a lone boat was swaying in the wind and waves. The undulating waves pushed the small boat to high places again and again. How could the small boat not resist such tossing? It seemed as if it could be knocked over by the waves at any time and disappear into the ocean.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and bright white light burst out from the gaps in the black clouds. Thunder roared like thousands of troops marching on the earth. Thunder and lightning struck, the wind and rain increased, and the small boat was pushed into the air by a fierce wave. A bolt of lightning flew out of the clouds, struck the boat with a crack, and the boat immediately caught fire and turned into countless fragments scattered on the sea.
Xiao Yunfan felt like he was sinking into the sea like a small boat. He could neither make a sound nor use any strength in his limbs to struggle. Let the seawater flow over your neck, chin, nostrils, eyes and top of your head little by little.
In front of him, there was a series of bubbles. The bubbles changed from more to less, and finally disappeared into nothing. He felt that he became very light, as light as a feather, until he fell into darkness. In the darkness, he suddenly saw many small round spots of light. The light spot gradually grew larger and became clearer.
In the midst of the brilliance, a giant dragon appeared. The giant dragon's huge head swayed from side to side, and its eyes were like copper bells. The dragon stared at him, and he himself stared at the dragon. The dragon's bloody mouth, sharp fangs, long red beards, and golden scales, everything is so clear and real.
The giant dragon made a low sound, but Xiao Yunfan couldn't understand what he was talking about. The dragon shook its head, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness at an unparalleled speed. He seemed to have had this dream countless times since he was a child, but none of the countless times seemed to be as shocking as seeing it this time.
He sat up suddenly, sweat dripping from his forehead. At this time, a pair of eyes were looking at him. The owner of the eyes asked coldly: "Who are you? What's your name?" The voice was cold, as cold as moonlight. Xiao Yunfan saw that the other party was wearing a veil, with only one eye exposed. These eyes are very beautiful, very charming, but also very strange.
Looking at this, he was at a loss and didn't know how to answer the other party, because at this time, his mind was blank and he couldn't think of anything.
It turned out to be a night of heavy rain. The mysterious boy Aaron and his companions brought him to his master. Xiao Yunfan was unconscious and had a high fever. It was this mysterious woman in front of him who fed him the decoction. His high fever finally subsided and he slowly woke up. Although he woke up, his head hurt when he thought about the past.
Seeing his painful expression, the woman smiled and said, "You were picked up by Aaron. He is my slave. Naturally, you are also my slave." Xiao Yunfan felt flustered and said, "Water, I want to drink water. ." The woman raised a hand, and her attendant immediately handed over a water bowl. The woman picked up the water bowl and brought it to Xiao Yunfan herself.
Xiao Yunfan didn't ask any questions, just picked up the water and drank it all. He asked for four or five bowls in a row before giving up, and then said: "Rice, I want to eat." The woman waved again, and the attendant immediately brought a mahogany lacquer plate with a bowl of white rice and a plate of green vegetables and tofu. .
He wolfed down the food, and the woman looked at him. She said faintly: "What's your name?" Xiao Yunfan raised his head and shook his head and said: "I forgot." There was a faint sigh from under the veil, and she said: "Forget it, there are many unsatisfactory things in life, as long as you can forget it, the best."
Xiao Yunfan's simple words seemed to bring back some memories in her, and those memories seemed painful. After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and looked at the other person, and asked boldly: "Who are you? What is your name?" As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger in black behind the woman shouted: "Shut up, you are just a Does a slave deserve to know his master’s name?”
The veiled woman raised her hand to signal her subordinates not to say anything. She looked at Xiao Yunfan and said: "You just need to remember that I am your master, I saved your life, and you must be loyal to me. Remember the four names of Mrs. Rose. Just the words. Nothing else matters to you."
Madam Rose paused, and then said: "You may have had a name before, but you forgot it. You are my slave now, why don't you give me a name, Madam? You can call me Fengchen."
Xiao Yunfan murmured: "Fengchen."
Mrs. Rose nodded and said: "Yes, remember it." As she said that, she stood up, the exquisite curves of her body wrapped in a purple cloak with gold trim. Xiao Yunfan closed his eyes and asked, "Who was I before?"
Mrs. Rose said: "It doesn't matter who you were before, because you are like a dead person when you come here. No one knows your past, and you'd better not inquire about other people's past."
You are my slave. To be my slave, you have to understand one thing? Xiao Yunfan asked: "What's the matter?" "Mrs. Rose said: "Here, you rely on your ability to make a living. Only those who are capable are qualified to eat, and those who are incompetent are not even qualified to eat. "Express delivery
Xiao Yunfan asked: "What are you talking about here?" Mrs. Rose smiled and said: "This is the City of Darkness, a city-state built underground. The rules on the ground do not apply here."
Xiao Yunfan said: "My name is Feng Chen. You saved my life, and I am your slave. And madam, what do you want me to do?" Madam Rose said: "I gave you the water you asked for. I also gave you food, I hope you will perform well tonight."
As her graceful figure disappeared behind an iron door, Xiao Yunfan was confused. He couldn't remember anything, and what he was thinking about at this moment was naturally what the lady said. What does she mean by asking herself to perform well?
In the dark and damp cell, the oil lamp in the niche emitted a bluish-white light. The light was really like a will-o'-the-wisp in hell. Xiao Yunfan was lying on the firewood, with heavy shackles on his wrists and ankles. He didn't pay any attention to these, because after eating comfortably and satisfactorily, his whole body felt warm, as if he was bathed in sunshine.
Lady Rose took off her cloak, and the maid Sonya took it and hung it on the antlers on the wall. This Rose Lady is actually Siamese. [The so-called Siam is China’s ancient name for countries such as Thailand and Southeast Asia. Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty canonized King Ayutthaya of the Ayutthaya Dynasty as the "King of Siam", and the term Siam was fixed. 】
Madame Rose's original name is Song Xi. She was sold as a slave to the Ming Dynasty, and then by chance came to the City of Darkness. After being appreciated by her master, she actually became the overlord of the country. There are four forces in the City of Darkness. These four forces restrain each other but at the same time obey the orders of the master behind them.
Mrs. Rose sat down, and a kitten with a black face and gray fur jumped into her arms. This kind of Siamese cat is only kept in palaces and temples and is extremely rare. Mrs. Rose stretched out her hand and touched the cat's back and said, "Sanya, who will Nancheng send to tonight's Dou Yuan meeting?"
The maid slowly said: "Reporting to Madam, it is said that they will send the Black Fist Arena to buy masters like Iron Fist, Wild Boar King, and Purple Swallow at high prices. If we want to win, we probably have little chance of winning." Mrs. Rose said bitterly: "We have only won two games in the past four months. If this continues, Madam, all the gold baht I invested will be lost!"
Sonya looked embarrassed and said: "But madam, the Thunder Emperor has bought many of these masters. If we want to recruit people from him, don't we have to pay a higher price? You also know that with the Thunder Emperor's thoughts, he How can the masters they dug up be willing to sell to us? Our Luli Swordsman made them suffer before. They finally got the upper hand this time, how can they give up this opportunity to show off? "
Lady Rose took off her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. She picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. The beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly and said: "At this point, we can only let Aaron and the others take the lead. If the top 32 cannot occupy six places, then all the money invested in the previous time will be wasted."
Sonya bit her lip and said, "Madam, don't you plan to let this boy named Fengchen appear tonight? But this boy has just recovered from a serious illness, can it be done?" Mrs. Rose thought for a while and said, "Of course, we will use Tian Ji to race horses. How to deal with the three teams of Emperor Lei." Sonya said: "Tian Ji is racing?"
Madam Rose said: "That's right. Didn't you say that the three teams of Thunder Emperor include masters like Iron Fist, Wild Boar King, and Purple Swallow. In terms of their strength, Iron Fist is third, Wild Boar King is second, and Purple Swallow is the most powerful. . We only need to use this Fengchen to deal with Zi Yanzi, Aaron to deal with the Wild Boar King, and Xiao Meng to deal with Iron Fist. We can win two games."
Sonya said: "If we let this boy fight against Zi Yanzi, wouldn't he die miserably?" Mrs. Rose said with a sneer on her lips: "This is his life, the life that a slave should have. Bury him well when the time comes. That's right." The rich burial that Mrs. Rose mentioned was just feeding her body to the tigers and wolves that were raised, and ordinary slaves were not even qualified to feed the tigers and wolves.
Xiao Yunfan held his knees with his hands and looked at the blue-white light in the niche. After a long time, the door opened, and a big man wearing a black hood said to Xiao Yunfan: "Fengchen, you have to perform well tonight." Xiao Yunfan said blankly: "Perform what?" The big man said: "Don't you know? Huh?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head.
The big man sighed with sympathy in his eyes: "Of course I am loyal to my wife." Xiao Yunfan said: "I still don't understand what you are talking about." The big man said: "After a while, you will understand. Come here, give me He puts it on."
The two big men picked up the two hemispherical masks and clicked them on Xiao Yunfan's face. The cold iron sheet was pressed against his cheeks. Only his eyes and nostrils were exposed on the iron mask. Xiao Yunfan asked: "What are you doing?" The big man said: "You really don't know?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Why do I ask you if I know?"
The big man said: "I'll send you to a fight, and what you have to face tonight is the most valiant warrior under the Thunder Emperor. You'd better pray to be beaten to death by her punch, otherwise you will die miserably." Xiao Yunfan said: " I don’t want to fight, okay." The big man said, "No. You are a slave and you are not qualified to be picky." Xiao Yunfan asked, "Then you are not a slave?"
The big man chuckled and said: "In this dark city, people are divided into four levels. One is heaven, the second is earth, the third is human, and the lowest is ghost. You are a ghost, I am one level higher than you, I am a human." "Xiao Yunfan said: "Then how can I become a human being?" The big man said: "It depends on the master's orders."
