Abu rubbed his excited hands hidden under the table.
He wanted to pretend not to be so impatient, but he couldn't stop looking at the noble young man sitting opposite.
After saying "Okay", Abu quickly checked his account. After seeing that the other party had actually bought this mansion worth millions of Ash Coins in full at once, the fat on Abu's face piled up. His face was thickly wrinkled, and the smile on his lips almost reached the sky.
Who says pie in the sky can't fall? Wasn't he bumped into me tonight? ?
It’s still a piece of fat delivered to your door!
Humph, you stinky fool from out of town!
He felt contempt in his heart, but on the surface, as a real estate agent, Abu still had to congratulate the aristocratic young man warmly:
"Mr. Liao Ji, congratulations! From today on, this traditional ancient house with decades of rich aristocratic history belongs to you!"
"I believe this is not only a happy event for you, but also a great honor for this mansion to be spotted and bought by a young and promising young man like you!"
Deep history = older house, traditional old house = outdated design, great honor = not sold!
Aibu was so talkative about false propaganda and promotions like this that he could recite them by heart. Unexpectedly, today he actually met a funder who believed his nonsense.
Not even knowing the most basic "common sense", Abu could not imagine what the young man's parents were thinking. No matter how stupid a landlord's son was, they couldn't be sent to the wolf's den, right? Aren't you afraid of losing your entire family business?
Because the Sealed City is the largest slave trading market in the Dragon Kingdom, Abu has seen too many people, like the noble young man opposite, who want to come here to do business and get a share of the pie.
But without exception, these people will die miserably in the end, and even if they lose everything, they are considered good. Most of them are still owed a lot of debt. Some of the female nobles who are even worse have even become slaves in the slave market themselves. A member of the slave race, demihumans only make up the majority of the slaves, but they are by no means all.
Business in the sealed city
Not everyone can do it!
"No, I can't be called young and promising. I just inherited some family business and traveled around the country to relax. No, I just happened to arrive in our sealed capital."
"Eh!? Mr. Liao Ji, are you here for tourism?" Abu was dumbfounded.
"Yes, we just arrived today. We thought we had to have a place to live, so we were anxious to look at the house. Fortunately, I met you, Mr. Aibu. It really saved me a lot of trouble."
Travel, find a place to live, and buy a mansion! ?
you.
Aibu looked at the serious look of the young man opposite, without any intention of joking. He thought about how he worked five to nine, working as an agent every day and was almost exhausted. As a result, he still couldn't even buy a toilet in this mansion. rise
Abu suddenly felt like a clown.
"So Mr. Abu, you see, I am new here and not very familiar with our place. Can you tell me, for example, if there are any precautions or rules when living here."
"What should you pay attention to? I won't tell you some tedious and unimportant items, but there are only two points that you must pay attention to."
"The first and most serious one is that it is strictly prohibited to hide non-registered slave sub-races in the mansion. Once discovered, they will be caught in the dungeon."
"is it so serious?"
"Of course, Mr. Liao Ji, if you listen to my second point, you will understand why the investigation is so strict. This is also for your own good. The second thing you need to pay attention to is to quickly buy more guards and servants. Because there have been several cases of home invasions and robberies recently. Although they are all in civilian areas with poor security, those daring rebels will also target our aristocratic area. In short, it is better to be prepared. .”
coming.
Finally, a word appeared that interested me.
Liao Ji pretended to be surprised and asked curiously: "Rebels. You said it was related to Article 1 before. Are these gangsters subhuman?"
Abu was also a little surprised at Liao Ji's reaction speed, but soon he put on an expression of disgust and rejection, and said with hatred from the bottom of his heart:
"Isn't that right? Only this group of inferior sub-races can do such evil things. I heard that those unlucky poor families who were robbed not only had their property looted, but even their lives were not spared. They were all tortured to death! It was such a miserable death."
"And do you know what is the most ridiculous thing? They actually call themselves the revolutionary army. They are to resist the Empress and overthrow the cruel slavery. Now, everyone has seen it. A group of Asians without collars. The human race is so wanton and murderous. From my perspective, they are only worthy of being slaves! Only by being slaves can we suppress their animal nature and allow the rest of the people of the Dragon Kingdom to live with peace of mind."
Speaking of this, Abu rolled his eyes.
In fact, the way he exaggerated the terror of the revolutionary army and emphasized the burning, killing and looting of the fugitive sub-races in front of Liao Ji was all to pave the way for what he would say next.
After all, there is such a big fat sheep in front of him. He can buy a mansion as a hotel just for traveling. He must have a lot of oil and water on him. He can't let him go so easily. At least he has to Gather the wool a few more times and kill him with a few knives!
"So, Mr. Liao Ji, do you think you only brought a maid with you?" After saying this, Abu's eyes drifted to Yi Lin behind Liao Ji.
"Not a maid, a bodyguard."
"Bodyguard? Oh, haha! Yes, yes, bodyguard, bodyguard, I didn't expect Mr. Liao Ji to be quite interesting."
As Abu said, the girl behind Liao Ji is quite slender and good-looking, but she doesn't have the humility and meekness of a maid, but if she is a "bodyguard", it would make sense. This is quite common in the Dragon Kingdom, similar to secretaries, lawyers, doctors, etc.
It turns out that the rich young man opposite likes this kind of rebellious style.
Thinking of this, Abu has already made up his mind.
"In short, you only have one manpower around you, which is too few. Fortunately, this is a sealed city. The last thing you need to worry about is that you can't buy anyone. Come on, you can keep this and treat it as my appendage. Giveaway.”
As Abu spoke, he handed a sheepskin scroll to Liao Ji.
Many traditional and classic things will not disappear with the times, such as traditional cigarettes with tobacco wrapped in paper, or the sheepskin leaflets now in Liao Ji's hands, which are full of thick texture and tough feel.
After Liao Ji opened the scroll, he glanced at it and found that there were names written on it?
Behind the name also corresponds to the business name, store number, slave category and characteristics.
"I still have some small connections in the Sealed City. What you are holding now is the internal list of our slave market. It covers almost all the decent slave merchants for you, so that you can see them clearly at a glance and avoid them. After all, you should be able to imagine that the water in such a large market is very deep."
"Well, this is really good, but I see there is a businessman with a ring on it. This is..."
"Oh, that's my friend. You can go and have a look. As long as you tell me Abu's name, he will give you a 30% discount! I guarantee that I will give you the best quality slaves!"
"That's ok. Since he's your friend, Abu, he must be reliable. That's it. I'll be the first to go to his house when the time comes."
"Okay! I will definitely say hello to him as soon as possible and will definitely give you the best service!"
Later, Liao Ji chatted with Abu for a while, but seeing that he couldn't find out more, he quickly made an excuse and sent Abu away.
As soon as Abu left, only Liao Ji and Yilin were left in the empty big house, which indeed seemed a lot deserted.
As for the girl behind her, after seeing no outsiders, she finally couldn't help but speak:
"Old antique, what are you doing with all this mess? You don't really want to live here, do you? Don't forget that we still have a mission!"
"Okay, why worry? Am I not walking a three-step process?"
"Three trilogy?"
"Yes, I have changed my clothes and bought a house, and then we can get to the last step. Speaking of which, Yilin, if it were you, where do you think you can best meet the revolution in the sealed city? Where is the army?"
Although the girl was confused and couldn't understand what Liao Ji's trilogy was about, Yilin was used to it. Regarding Liao Ji's question at the end, she basically blurted it out without thinking too much.
"It must be a slum, right? I always feel that this kind of place is associated with crime. Ahem, it is most compatible with the revolutionary army!"
"Well, what you said makes sense, let's go, let's go to the slums first."
After nodding in agreement, Liao Ji immediately stood up and left, taking Yilin away from the field.
"Speaking of old antiques, where did 86 go?"
"I asked her to withdraw the money."
"Withdrawal?"
"Um."
The wealth and prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom are only for some people, and similarly, the bright lights of the sealed capital only exist in some urban areas.
I wonder if people in the Dragon Kingdom generally dislike the location of the south. The slums are located to the south of the sealed capital.
When Liao Ji and Yilin got off the carriage and arrived here, it was only a ten-minute drive away, but compared with the bustling streets just now, it was like they were in another world.
The road was half-repaired and was in ruins. Underfoot was dirty soil and sewage discharged from unknown sources. Except for a few scattered street lights, the dilapidated wooden shacks from house to house were dark and lonely, and a lifeless smell hit our face. Come, there are not many people to be seen on the narrow and muddy slum streets.
By the way, in the Dragon Kingdom, there are many more carriages than cars, because the carriages here are not ordinary horses, but a kind of monster tamed from the wild land of the orcs in the south, although they are definitely not comparable to Cars, but in terms of cost-effectiveness in all aspects, horse-drawn carriages completely beat cars.
In this world where disasters, monsters and even the legendary "magic" in the "Forest Alliance" exist, the status of technology is actually far less important.
There are even some countries, such as the Dragon Kingdom, that are very resistant to technology. After all, some powerful people do not want ordinary people who are inferior and mediocre to enjoy the same superior life as they do with the power of technology.
Liao Ji and Yi Lin started to wander around the slums. They specialized in narrow alleys and dead ends.
I don't know if it was because he got off work at night, so some of the plots that Liao Ji imagined did not happen, but fortunately, Liao Ji's eyes lit up quickly. He quickly turned around, ducked into a dark alley, and looked at the wall.
There was a very crude leaflet posted there.
But the content above is not simple.
Just the first few words may scare many people.
That is
Propaganda leaflet of the Revolutionary Army!
But Yilin was extremely excited about this, after all, this was what they wanted!
"Found it! We really found it!"
"Look, there are contact information and addresses on it! What are you waiting for, old antique, let's go quickly!"
The girl almost jumped with excitement. It felt very similar to that of an angry and patriotic young man. After discovering the secret underground organization, he couldn't wait and trembled all over. He wished he could be sent in immediately and join the great organization.
Unfortunately.
The young man beside her was indifferent.
"Um"
"It's not bad. It's not in vain. Now it's almost certain that there are at least two revolutionary armies in the sealed capital." Liao Ji looked at the "Revolutionary Enrollment Expansion List" on the wall and nodded.
"What the hell? Two families?"
"Even if you can think of and find a place, are those official people from the Dragon Kingdom just losers? If they follow this leaflet and check it, it shouldn't be difficult to follow the clues. Do you think recruiting people is important for the revolutionary army? Or is concealment more important?”
"That's right! These revolutionary troops are too careless! But it may be that they are really short of manpower? Is there no other way?"
Erin still had questions.
"Didn't the real estate businessman say before that the revolutionary army was quite active and burned, killed and looted many civilians? It's not like they were short of manpower."
"Then, what is this?"
"If I'm not wrong, the revolutionary army in this leaflet should have an official backing, and they are just using the guise of the revolutionary army, so that they can do whatever they want. Anyway, if something goes wrong, the revolutionary army will take the blame."
"What——! How could there be such a bastard! Wait, that's not right, then why are they still recruiting people, and why are they pretending to be posting flyers?"
"It's okay to lie to a stupid angry young man like you. It won't be a loss for them to recruit you anyway." Liao Ji shrugged and walked out of the slum.
Erin: "."
After the girl quickly caught up with Liao Ji, she asked anxiously: "Then what should we do now? How should we really find the revolutionary army? I, we can't just watch them and just keep taking the blame for those stinky people. ! Otherwise, the demi-human race will only become more and more disgusted by everyone!"
"Don't worry. In fact, I already have a rough idea of where the revolutionary army is."
Liao Ji left the slum and walked to the normal street, preparing to hail another carriage.
While waiting for the bus, he stopped trying to seduce Yilin and explained directly:
"Actually, it's very simple. Just change your logic. Since the official search for the fugitive demi-humans is so strict, but they haven't been found yet, it means that they are definitely hidden, safe, and even hidden in the sealed city. It’s legal in name, and it makes people think that if there are many sub-races gathering there, it’s a normal thing.”
"Ah? Is there really such a place?"
Erin expressed her doubts. She could believe in concealment and safety, but about that last point.
Along the way, she saw that many people in the Dragon Kingdom were wary of demi-races, especially after so many robberies. If she really saw a bunch of demi-races gathering, she would report it directly, right? Still feel normal?
"Of course."
Liao Ji lit his noble cane and looked at a carriage that was running over not far away.
After the carriage stopped and pulled to the side of the road, the two of them got on.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"Slave Market."
