The peaceful desert was broken by the rapidly advancing medium-sized ships, and many creatures buried underneath were brought to the surface. The ship with its mast hoisted took advantage of the strong wind to push away the soft sand and move across the desert at a much faster speed than before. It was hurriedly fleeing as if it wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
In fact, they did encounter a big crisis just now, but later they escaped and ascended to heaven inexplicably.
The stiff body gradually warmed up, and the cold sweat on the back was replaced by new sweat. However, there was no joy of surviving the disaster, and no one on the ship was cheering or laughing. They walked back and forth on the ship in an orderly manner, concentrating on controlling the ship, but unconsciously cast their eyes on the three people on the deck.
To be precise, they are two people and one god.
——The goddess is watching herself.
When Xiao Lin realized this, the elf curse mark on his neck sent out an early warning of skin irritation to bring him back to his senses. The alarm bell in his heart was so loud that he didn't dare to look at it.
He didn't know if he would explode or melt if he looked at her again, but he knew clearly that if he continued to look at each other, he would definitely become a prisoner of the other person's beauty.
He forcibly looked away to prevent himself from looking into the beauty's eyes.
Unexpectedly, what he did made Freya more interested, and the light in his eyes became even brighter. She looked directly at his soul through the obstacles of clothes and body, and her divine power continued to surge through his layers of defense.
When Xiao Lin was about to be unable to resist the fall, Freya finally stopped.
After seeing the extremely pure energy and the chaotic gray color of the soul wrapped in it, the Beauty God sighed inaudibly.
For some reason, Xiao Lin blamed himself.
That's right. The one who has let the goddess down is an unforgivable sinner. He should kneel down and offer everything he has to ask for forgiveness!
But before he could take action, a cool breath came from his chest and went straight to his mind. After several times of recovery, Xiao Lin gradually found himself again.
…
hiss----
Xiao Lin took a breath.
As expected of a beauty! Just a little bit of divinity almost made him a prisoner! If it weren't for the protection of Aqua's necklace, he might have fallen!
As if she sensed something strange about herself, Freya slowly regained her divinity.
"sorry."
"...You are serious."
Xiao Lin was flattered by the goddess' apology.
The other party was a goddess, superior to him in terms of strength, experience, and status, but she did not do anything arrogant or willful to him, and even apologized to Xiao Lin.
Will Freya, the main god who is one of the two most powerful Familiars in Orario, apologize to others?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If anyone else heard it, their jaws would drop.
"You are very good." Freya smiled and praised again: "I didn't expect that you could kill that giant worm easily. Your strength is very good. Thank you for saving this ship."
Xiao Lin lowered his head: "You are exaggerating. Even if Liu Zi doesn't take action, you will not be harmed in any way."
When Liu Zi decapitated the giant worm with one blow, the hostile aura of the Eight Paths instantly locked him and Liu Zi, and Xiao Lin did not dare to act rashly at all.
It was obvious that he couldn't feel anything before. If Liu Zi hadn't used the [Imaginary Number Mechanism] to make the people in the dark hostile, he probably wouldn't have noticed anyone following him in the dark.
It's just that the somewhat impetuous aura didn't express anything in the end, it just turned into threats and hints.
'If you dare to act strangely, your head will fall to the ground in the next second! '
They're sending the message.
No need to think about it, they must be the eight cadres of the Freya family. They must have been searching for traces of the goddess and then trying their best to catch up. However, he did not show up after discovering the goddess, but chose to protect her silently. If Liu Zi's abilities weren't too weird and dangerous, they might have been lurking in the dark. It hasn't appeared yet, which is probably the result of the goddess's instructions.
Speaking of which... being stared at by eight men always felt weird.
Sudden--
"She is not a human being. No, to be precise, she should not be a living creature."
The goddess's words brought Xiao Lin back to his senses, and it was a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth.
He pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.
Freya was not angry at Xiaolin's silence, but continued to speak bluntly: "You should have realized it just now, I can see through the soul. But she... this girl in a gorgeous dress is not a human being, she has no brilliance of soul. "
"--What?!"
There was a scream in my ears, a harsh voice cutting in, interrupting the conversation.
Xiaolin turned his head and saw Boffman and a small, luxurious box with gold rims he was holding in his hands.
The goddess' slight reproach and Xiaolin's flat eyes made Poffman smile awkwardly.
"What's the matter, Poffman?"
"Yes, Lady Goddess! In fact, I came here specifically to thank this...Master Xiaolin. Thanks to his help so that the ship survived and you were not harmed at all."
He's very shrewd.
The thanks are sincere, but the clever part is bringing Freya along.
This caused the intention to immediately change from him coming to thank me to him coming to thank "for" Freya, inadvertently making the beauty owe a favor. And it is definitely not a loss for him to get to know a strong person.
Businessmen, vision and investment are top priorities.
It's just that his little thoughts have long been exposed in front of gods with hundreds of millions of years of experience. Xiao Lin didn't point out, but nodded, took the small box he handed over, and then handed it to Liu Zi.
"You're welcome, Mr. Captain, I'm just returning the favor for your help."
"Boffman, please call me Boffman! And this is what you deserve, Mr. Xiaolin. This ship is far more important than a little thought. Please don't refuse."
That respectful and polite look made people feel uncomfortable.
It seemed that Liu Zi's actions and the words that offended him had really frightened him.
"Boffman, I still like your unruly look at the beginning. Please recover."
"Hey hey, hey hey hey——"
Boffman smiled awkwardly, but quickly returned to his previous attitude.
"Speaking of the topic just now." Boffman glanced at Liu Zi and asked curiously: "Ms. Freya just said that... this Miss Liu Zi is not a human being. What does it mean?"
This guy thought he had just come at the right time and ignored this topic, but unexpectedly he turned around and brought it up again.
Freya also said with interest: "Can you tell me, Xiaolin."
"You are really discerning. My goddess' vision is admirable. Both body and soul are exposed under your eyes." Xiaolin was not only praising but also being weird, but finally explained: "As you said, Liu Zi is not a human being. She is a doll girl, so naturally she does not have the brilliance of a soul."
"Human, doll?! She is actually a doll?!"
Boffman screamed.
After all, in his opinion, Liu Zi was no different from human beings in terms of her actions, demeanor, or conversation. She said it was a doll, but subconsciously she didn’t believe it.
But since it was said by the goddess, I can only believe it even if I am reluctant in my heart.
"Such a realistic doll is really refreshing." The goddess stared at Liu Zi carefully and couldn't help but murmured: "Hehehe. It seems that setting off to the southeast is indeed the right choice."
Mei Shen was in such a good mood that she couldn't help but smile.
Boffman opened his mouth slightly and stared straight at Freya with his eyes, obviously captured by her beauty.
By the way, it’s the beauty of appearance.
After all, Freya didn't need to use his divinity to deal with this kind of miscellaneous fish. He just knelt down under the skirt of the God of Beauty.
Fortunately, Freya wasn't too interested in Liu Zi, and maybe because she saw Xiao Lin's stiffness and tense body, she didn't ask for it or study it.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
If the other party is really interested, Xiao Lin is not sure that he can escape the attack of [Beauty] with full firepower. That is [Beauty] that can make the gods fall for it!
Boffman, on the other hand, was very interested in Liu Zi. After learning that Liu Zi was a doll and Xiaolin's waiter, he actually proposed a transaction.
"Master Xiaolin, I wonder if you have any idea of selling her."
"What?"
"5000W! I will pay you 5000W!"
"Sorry, I didn't..."
"8000... no, 100 million faries! This is my limit, Mr. Xiaolin, what do you think?!"
He was willing to spend 100 million to buy Liu Zi. Bovman's courage made Xiao Lin look slightly sideways.
But in Boffman's mind, he had another thought: This doll girl is so powerful that she can kill even giant worms that can easily overturn a ship in an instant. If she is left alone in this desert, Go wild without any hindrance! And most importantly, this doll is beautiful!
Don't get me wrong, he won't take action against Liu Zi, but treats the girl as a commodity.
It's beautiful, powerful, and incredibly realistic. It's sure to fetch a big price!
pity.
"Sorry, I have no idea of selling it."
"Is the money not enough? If it is money, I can add more! 150 million W! If it is 150 million francs, you...!"
"I said so!"
Before Boffman could finish speaking, Xiaolin interrupted forcefully. Taking a step forward, a body taller than Boffman blocked the sunlight, the shadow enveloped him, and a cold voice reached his ears.
"She is my proud waiter and my most trusted companion. I'm sorry, but I have no intention of selling."
"...Is that so? That's really a pity."
Boffman couldn't help but take a half step back and distance himself slightly.
He is really afraid.
"However." Xiao Lin suddenly pinched his chin and said, "I can still get some secondary dolls. Although they are not as good as Liu Zi, they are still a rare help."
"Really?! If Mr. Xiaolin can bring it, I, Boffman, am willing to share half of the profits with you! Please believe that the strongest businessman in this desert will not let you down! Duhehe——"
Boffman left with satisfaction.
"Don't look at him like this, Boffman is actually a very talented businessman." Freya said.
"I know." Xiao Lin said: "Businessmen are afraid that there will be no profit or too little profit. Once there is an appropriate profit, they will be bold. If there is a 20% profit, the businessman will be ready to take action; if there is a 50% profit, the businessman will take risks; if there is a profit of 50%, the businessman will take risks; If the profit is ten times the profit, businessmen will dare to trample all human laws; and if the profit is ten times the profit, they will even sell the reins to hang themselves!"
"...I was really shocked. I didn't expect you to say such philosophical words. If it were Hermes, he would definitely let you join the Familia. After all, even though he is the God of Commerce, he is also the God of Travelers. You fit in perfectly." Freya said suddenly.
Xiao Lin shook his head and said seriously: "What others just said was just borrowed. Moreover, I already have a god to serve, so I will not join the dependents of other gods. I'm sorry that I cannot respond to your expectations. "
He was emphasizing and making it clear.
Freya was not angry. She had no strange thoughts about Xiao Lin. She just said that because she felt that Xiao Lin and Hermes were very compatible. Since Xiao Lin is unwilling, she will not force it. But if it's someone she likes, that's a different matter.
"But I didn't expect that you weren't angry at Boffman's rudeness just now."
"You should be happy to see Liu Zi's value. Of course, the premise is that he doesn't continue to mess around."
"Indeed. Being able to see things clearly, it seems that he is indeed a talented businessman."
"...Except for that unflattering laugh."
"you're right."
Freya and Xiaolin smiled at the same time.
But the next second, the eight auras locked him again, and the threat was self-evident. Xiaolin's smile suddenly froze, and then slowly disappeared.
Tsk.
It seemed that the charm that the goddess inadvertently unleashed was so powerful that even he couldn't resist it. He even forgot that there were eight licking dogs around who were extremely easily jealous.
“I didn’t expect there to be such lifelike dolls.”
"Compared to the doll, I am more curious about the ship that can travel in the sea of sand. What is its power and why it can push through the sand and travel in the desert? I am very curious."
"That being said, I'm also very curious."
Freya called to Boffman in the distance and asked him to explain.
"——It relies on magic power to operate!" Boffman was slightly proud, pointing directly below the deck and explained: "There are thirty slaves at the bottom of the cabin, and they continuously provide magic power to power the ship."
There are also multiple crystal balls at the bottom of the cabin. When people put their hands on them, magic can be injected into them.
Unlike boats that are maneuvered by rowing, this is a truly magical boat.
"Slave? Is your chamber of commerce using slaves again?" The goddess was focused on another point.
"It's not so much me, it's better to say that the entire Kaios Desert Circle does this. After all, slavery is recognized here." Boffman answered very cautiously, because he was not sure whether Freya, who lived in Orario, cared about the slavery system. .
In order to make Orario the cradle of the birth of heroes, the gods are very repulsive to unfair legal systems.
But Freya just nodded slightly.
Although she was a god, she had no intention of criticizing this move as inhumane. Because I have seen it too much, slave culture is deeply rooted in the lower world.
Xiao Lin also had the same idea.
Both "Zhan Chi" and "Smart Girl" have slaves, even the cheerful "Su Qing" is no exception, so they just make common expressions and remain silent.
"Slaves..." Freya thought for a moment and then said: "There must be a place nearby where most children come and go. It is most likely that slaves are the majority. In this case, let's go and have a look."
"As you wish, my goddess."
Boffman urged the ship to sail towards the town with the largest number of slaves in the distance.
