The woman sat in the best display stand on the third floor of the slave market, receding slightly and looking in horror at the black corpse being dragged away.
Her name is Angelina, Angelina Williamson.
Her price is marked on the display table, 699 gold coins.
Twenty-four years old, with exquisite and dignified facial features, fair skin, and a beautiful figure.
virgin.
In Aknaiz's inner city slave market, her price is the best among all, and she is a well-deserved shop slave.
But this made Angelina feel ashamed.
As a slave, her price is equivalent to a property in the outer city. A young woman with no fingers or any housekeeping skills can be sold for such a price. In addition to appearance, there are naturally other reasons——
Angelina was once the daughter of a noble family in the Western Continent.
Her father was a wealthy businessman in the Kingdom of Tingen. He was engaged in trading business and used money to buy a baronetcy. Although she is not hereditary, Angelina has been able to receive elite education in the royal capital since she was a child. She has been among the aristocratic children and is a serious lady.
When he was seventeen years old, Galen, the leader of the Tingen Knights, assassinated the crown prince, and the domestic situation in Tingen fell into turmoil.
Angelina, who grew up listening to stories about witch-slaying knights, did not believe that her idol, Lord Galen, would do such a thing.
But the crown prince was not a good person, and even harassed him at the dinner. So even if Galen really assassinated the crown prince, she would still feel that this was a just act that a knight should do.
Tingen was caught in a battle for the crown prince. The fourth prince, who relied on the queen, fought fiercely with the second prince, who had been fighting for years. Anqina's father, who was in the royal capital, had to take sides and chose the camp of the fourth prince.
With her outstanding appearance and upbringing, Angelina became engaged to the eldest son of a hereditary viscount from the Fourth Prince's camp.
This was an enviable class jump in the royal capital of Tingen at that time.
The viscount's son also made Angelina very satisfied. He is handsome, gentle and holds an important position under the fourth prince. If the fourth prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be very possible for him to be promoted from viscount to earl.
The relationship between the two went very smoothly. Although Angelina was young, she was extremely mature in mind. She easily managed to charm her fiancé. She completely abandoned her arrogant attitude towards class differences and trained her like a puppy.
Except for the last step, basically everything has been done. My fiancé is impeccable except for his slightly unsatisfactory abilities in that area.
The two were about to get married, but the bad news of the king's death suddenly came from the palace.
The fourth prince announced his succession to the throne the next day, and the royal capital was filled with joy. Angelina's fiancé was promoted to the cabinet on the day of his succession.
Just when Angelina thought the bright future was about to begin——
The second prince suddenly went fishing.
Hey, why is there a note in the fish's belly? open to take a look.
What does it mean that 'the second child rises and the fourth child perishes'? I am illiterate. Someone who can read can read it to me.
Oh~it turns out to be "Qing Jun, Jing Guo is in trouble".
brothers! Take office in the royal city!
The fourth prince was not happy for a few days after he sat on the throne. The second brother showed him what it means to gain political power from the handle of a knife.
Is your mother a queen? How many divisions does the queen have?
The knights in the royal city lost their combat effectiveness after losing their leader Galen. The border legion, which had been fighting all year round, almost easily pushed back the fourth prince's guard. Fortunately, the old king left many capable people for his son and allowed him to escape, but the royal city fell into the hands of the second prince.
Now, the nobles who were on the wrong side in the battle for the crown prince were in bad luck.
Angelina’s fiancé and his family did not escape, and they all reunited on the city wall the next day——
In the form of candied haws with human head.
Fortunately, Angelina had not yet married the Viscount's son, and her father, who had been doing business for many years, used his contacts in the border army to spend a lot of money to save his daughter's life. He protected her and hid her at home, and as soon as the situation in the royal city stabilized, the whole family fled overnight, for fear of being settled by the Queen.
Her father knew very well that a businessman who bought a title was no different from a fat pig in this mess.
Within a month, the Tingen Civil War began.
Hey, second brother, if I cede territory, sell resources, and let neighboring countries join the war, how should you respond?
Huh, fourth brother, if I side with the northern powers and openly oppose the countries of the southern continent, how should you respond?
Within a year, the Tingen Civil War involved most of the countries in the Western Continent. During the war, even the nobles of some small countries had to flee with their families, which shows that the situation was difficult.
Angelina and her family originally fled to the Pamir Principality for refuge, but they were affected by the war and had to run away again.
In the past two years, he has lived a wandering life in various countries in the Western Continent.
Fortunately, her father was rich and could barely guarantee the family's livelihood during the war. He even bought her an orc slave as a maid on the road, and she didn't suffer much for two years.
Until his father and his family were killed by a sudden group of horse bandits.
It was obvious that he was about to escape to the Southern Continent.
The younger brother tried his best to stop the robbers, snatched the horse, and let the orc slave who could ride a horse escape with his sister.
Ever since, Angelina became a refugee.
She fled all the way to the Southern Continent and was rescued by the Church of Light. After another bumpy journey, she finally signed a slave agreement with Ron's Dongyingdu Chamber of Commerce with little money.
She can't do it without signing. If no country is willing to accept her after a certain period of time, she will be sent back to the countries in the Western Continent that have not participated in the war.
The treatment there is not much better than staying in the war.
The reason why she chose Ron was because the person in charge of slave selection in Dongyingdu was a relatively normal businessman in the multinational refugee agency and would not look at her with lustful and greedy eyes, which made her less afraid.
Because the luggage Anqina brought contained family crests and family trees that could prove her identity, as well as a series of photos of her father being decorated, plus her appearance advantages, the person in charge of Dongyingdu said that if she became a slave, It can be sold for a very high price, and the treatment at the owner's house will definitely not be bad.
If she is pregnant, she may be treated as a mistress. After all, Ron's law allows polygamy for nobles or those who pay high taxes.
Ever since, Angelina signed a slave contract and received 200 gold coins as a selling fee.
Of course she knew what the so-called "slave" meant. She was a young woman who had no strength and had never taken a maid course. Someone would pay a lot of money to buy her just for the pleasure of her body and humiliating the declining nobles.
The moment she signed the agreement, Angelina saw her future as a sex slave.
Even worse than a prostitute, with no freedom and no time to rest.
But can she say no?
This is the best way out she can find as a refugee.
There are no humanitarian organizations in this world. If you don’t want to be a slave, then repatriate them.
Angelina was sent to Ron, and then to the slave market in Aknaiz. The people from the Dongyingdu Chamber of Commerce treated her very politely along the way. Perhaps he saw that she was about to be sold to a powerful family and wanted to form a good relationship.
Angelina also figured out on the way here that the person who can buy her is not a noble, but also a wealthy businessman from Ron. This was Ron. The prosperity of the Southern Continent made her, a former rich girl, envious.
The wealthy businessmen of Ron are even better than many small and medium-sized nobles in Tingen in terms of family status and quality of life. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
She has confidence in her own methods. The aristocratic education she received since she was a child has made her proficient in various elegant projects such as piano, literature, history, music, etc. She is extremely confident in her appearance. She just wants to use the trick she used to win her fiancé over again.
She was still a virgin, she had only used her hands to help her fiancé, and they were still very clean.
Perhaps within a few years, she could become the rich wife of Aknaiz, enjoy a more generous life than her hometown, and not have to worry about war and political revenge.
Angelina even hoped that she could marry a more powerful nobleman and perhaps have a chance to avenge her family many years later.
Entering Ron's slave market, she was packaged like a commodity by people from the Dongyingdu Chamber of Commerce, put on an elegant long dress, and tried her best to show off her status as a noble in trouble.
Sitting in front of the display cabinet, leaving behind all her self-esteem and upbringing, being scrutinized by the wretched old men who came over at night, and some of them would even say dirty words in front of her. This period of time was the best in her life. A time of shame.
The Dongyingdu Chamber of Commerce has indeed a vicious vision. Within a week, more than a dozen wealthy people inquired about her price. However, the price of 699 gold coins was too expensive and the goods were not sold so quickly.
The price for finding a prostitute in Aknaiz is only about 10 silver coins. With 5 gold coins, you can sleep with some young idols in clubs in the inner city, and with 700 gold coins, you can even book all the members of some idol groups and stay there for the whole year.
A week later, the buyer arrived. A seemingly gentle doctor placed a deposit at the slave market, saying that he would raise money to buy the patient in two days.
Angelina didn't want to be sold to a commoner's family, but she underestimated how much the Ron nobles valued face.
Buying refugees as sex slaves in the slave market would be ridiculed in aristocratic circles. They pay attention to grace and education. These people only look for prostitutes who are slightly famous musicians or celebrities, and they don't look at them at all. Satisfied woman.
During this period, there was a life-long baron who took a fancy to her noble status, but after seeing that she also brought an orc maid, he felt that she was too unrefined, and after asking for a price, there was no further information.
Ron's orc maids will only choose the Philin tribe, and other races are basically considered barbarians.
But doctors are not bad either. Doctors in southern countries earn extremely high incomes, as much as some wealthy people. Although he didn't look good, he was still young and single, so he wouldn't put her off like those old men. During the first contact, although his eyes were a little lewd, he also seriously stated that if he got pregnant, he would marry her as his wife.
That’s fine too.
Unexpectedly, an adventurer appeared out of nowhere the day before yesterday. He took a liking to her at first sight and added a hundred gold coins, insisting on cutting off the slave's beard.
Angelina doesn't want to be used as a toy by a smelly adventurer. No matter how handsome he is, this kind of status gap is really unacceptable to the noble daughter.
But this adventurer seemed to be extremely capable. Not only did the staff at the slave market dare not offend him, but even the doctor who placed the deposit was intimidated by him and left. After other thoughtful buyers learned that he was eyeing Angelina, they I didn’t even dare to inquire.
This adventurer had just returned from a mission and had a lot of money. He paid 500 gold on the spot, but then he had no money in his pocket and said he would raise it in the next two days.
Her intuition told her that this guy didn't have any intentions or any spiritual needs, he was just lustful.
A very pure fusion enthusiast who follows Niuzi's thinking.
When she thought that her future master would be a man who was willing to enjoy the polished possessions on his lower body, Angelina lost all hope.
She accepted her fate and no longer even showed up at the slave market, but just stayed in the background waiting to be picked up.
Angelina comforted herself again.
I heard that the adventurer was very powerful. If I could get him to avenge his family, I would just make do with it. It would be better than running for his life in the Western Continent.
But strange things happened to her one after another.
There was an earl from Ron who actually wanted to come to the slave market to select people.
The news seemed to be kept strictly confidential. Angelina was not pulled out urgently until this morning. All the slaves learned the news at the morning meeting, and then they hurriedly took a bath, cleaned up their personal hygiene, and cleaned the market. It's like having to deal with inspections from superiors.
Although Angelina was sold, it seemed that for inexplicable reasons such as corporate image, she was also pulled up to sit in the display booth and wait.
She curiously inquired with her supervisor about the count's origins.
The director just said that Prince Aknaiz is the biggest now, but she is bigger than the prince in a way.
The granddaughter of the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, the niece of the Prime Minister, the millennium hereditary earl of Ron, and one of the richest people in the country.
More likely to be the future Queen Rowan.
At about eleven o'clock, she saw the count.
It was actually a girl.
He doesn't look like an aristocrat at all. He is dressed in a simple and elegant manner, without too much jewelry. His black hair hangs down to the back of his waist smoothly. When he smiles, his eyes are curved and very good-looking, like a well-behaved and sweet high school student.
Although not like a noble.
But as long as she stood there, everyone could not help but surround her, making it impossible to despise her. Even if she doesn't make a sound during the conversation, the executives and managers are always paying attention to her reaction. An occasional response or a subtle expression can affect their emotions and guide the direction of the topic. Her weak and weak aura was overwhelming to everyone.
"Is this the true nobleman..."
For the first time, Angelina developed an inferiority complex about her appearance, feeling ashamed in front of a girl with almost no makeup.
Although the spotlight was clearly on her head, Angelina felt like she was sitting in a corner, looking at the girl in the crowd with jealousy and longing. Once upon a time, she had imagined that she would be treated like this after marrying into the Viscount's family.
The gentle temperament of the Dongguo people and the tall and beautiful facial features of the Ron people are almost perfectly combined. The clean and bright girlishness and the aura of a superior person brought by a prominent family background can appear in the same person without any conflict, and even she, a woman, can't help but feel excited.
The count didn't even look at the group of female slaves and maids. His purpose was simple and direct. Even if those carefully selected orphan girls were placed in the Tingen royal family, they would all be good candidates worthy of being trained as palace maids. But the earl's housekeeper didn't know what kind of strict standards he based on when selecting people, and the elimination rate was astonishingly high. The earl would only take a look at the selected ones, and the girl would nod to take them into the family if she thought they were suitable.
She suddenly felt envious of the girl chosen by the count.
Because he only deserves to be sold to the home of a lowly adventurer to do even more lowly work.
Just as she was dazzling, the earl suddenly lit up.
how....
Something splashed on the stairs.
is blood.
She saw a dark headless corpse and fell down.
I couldn't help but scream.
The scene was chaotic.
Immediately, the count raised his hand to stop the commotion. As soon as her face showed displeasure, the supervisors of the slave market told the screaming women to shut up with an angry look, and even she couldn't help but join in the group's silence.
The murderous count's guard suddenly disappeared.
Her mind went blank.
In less than two minutes, a large number of police officers rushed forward and protected the three floors outside the count.
And the magician had been leaning next to the earl calmly.
Soon, several men in military uniforms who were not easy to mess with at first sight also arrived. They carried various weapons on their backs. They seemed to be experts belonging to the military. As soon as they entered the scene, they took over the escort of the police officers. post.
Officials in suits, obese police chiefs, gray-haired congressmen... rushed up to the girl to greet the girl as if they were dead mothers, yelled at the police officers, and were kicked out by her again.
It seemed that the black slave wanted to assassinate the count.
After the count briefly communicated with the police, the slave market executives were quickly taken away by the police, crying that they were wronged.
Everyone was looking for the missing earl's guard, but they searched the entire mall and found nothing.
Five minutes passed at a loss.
Suddenly, the guard who killed the black slave appeared again. Just like Flash, he jumped in front of the earl.
All this made Angelina feel frightened and confused.
what's the situation? What are you doing?
The man was shouting something like "The God of the Djinn", "The Devil is dead", and "The tower is open", which made people confused.
But the count and others seemed very calm, not caring about what he said at all, and looked ordinary.
After the guard finished his madness, he explained to the count why he disappeared.
He invited the magician to discuss it for a while.
She vaguely heard that it seemed that the black slave's magic had changed the earl's bodyguard away.
I didn't expect that dark-skinned weirdo to be so capable.
After they finished chatting, the black-haired guard who looked like a nobleman suddenly walked up to Angelina and looked at her deeply, holding a stick covered in green slime.
Very handsome, but his eyes are very indifferent.
This is the man who just blew the black slave's head off with a stick.
Angelina couldn't help but become scared.
But not long after, the man turned to look at the female slave beside him.
Look at them one by one.
Next to Angelina were all young and beautiful slave girls like her, but she was the only one qualified to sit alone on the display platform.
At a certain moment, the terrifying guard suddenly paused.
Then he walked back as if nothing had happened.
He started talking to the suppressed executives, who seemed confused.
Executives started peppering him with questions, which he would answer after a while.
Weird words like "When you were one year old...", "When you were ninety years old...", "Your father is not your father".
After everyone went through it, he asked the police officers to let the executives go.
The executives donated generously and handed him checks with large amounts written on them.
Seeing this, the Earl glanced at himself and continued to select the girl, as if nothing had happened.
The guard and the magician got into an argument.
It wasn't until the count's selection was over that the two quarreled over the outcome.
As if the magician had won, the black-haired guard compromised, and with a dejected expression that said "something will happen sooner or later", he approached the executive on the side with the check.
He pointed to his side.
The executive was in charge of the slave trade. He looked embarrassed and was explaining something, but the count just glanced at him and was speechless.
The executive walked right up to the presentation ring.
"From today on, your master is Mr. Peter."
Angelina didn't react: "Me?"
"And that fox slave of yours."
She looked back blankly.
The orc slave who had been following her since her escape from the Western Continent was hiding timidly behind the young female slaves.
This is a vixen girl that her father bought from a slave trader for 50 silver coins.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is very thin. The ends of the short black hair look a little yellow due to malnutrition.
There was an ugly scar on his face that almost ran through the entire face. It seemed that he had some kind of eye disease. Only the whites of his eyes were extremely scary and there were no pupils.
And, two pointed...
ear.
