my age of magic

Chapter 402

There are not too high-end restaurants around the slave market. Bobby just randomly chose a big food store that looked relatively clean. After we opened the curtain and walked in, we found that it was overcrowded. Many businesses in the slave market are It is very popular. All kinds of business here are driven by the slave market. Just like this big food store, the rough food is served on the table in pots and pots. There is no aesthetic feeling. If it opened in the East District, I am afraid No one will be unemployed until the business is closed, but here, the business is so good that it bursts.

There are many nobles with slaves eating, and many slaves with brass collars are sitting or standing beside them. Each collar is clearly engraved with the name of the slave owner. Bobby and I walked It didn't cause any strange eyes coming in, it was just that some sharp-eyed people couldn't help but look at the elf slave girl with long ears. Although her whole body was covered in a black cloak, the yellow dog on the neck exposed Chengcheng's brass ring reveals her identity.

The most surprising thing about her is that there is a blank space on the metal collar, it is brand new, and the name of the slave owner has not been engraved in time, and her pure elf beauty has also attracted the attention of many diners, Bobby looks very I was happy, and said to me triumphantly by my side: "That guy Nichols has been terrified in class recently, probably because he was so scared by you. When he came to the Magic Academy for class, he didn't forget to bring a A follower, probably his follower, is an apprentice knight wearing steel armor. That guy stands at the door of the teaching building with a dead face all day long like a piece of wood. There's almost no difference!"

I didn't know that the half-elf was so flamboyant that he brought his followers to the Academy of Magic to attend classes. After listening for a while, he looked at Bobby curiously and motioned him to continue.

"Actually, I also thought about taking Babru to class on Monday, and let Babru's scimitar compete with his knight apprentice entourage. I think Babru can easily put it on his breastplate. Draw a cross-shaped mark on it!" But Bobby has already started to show me how powerful Baburu is in battle.

I have a keen sense of danger, and my magic perception feeds back the state of the people around me all the time. I can easily feel the restless power in Bobby's follower's body. He is trying his best to suppress the muscles in his body. Strength, but what he did made me feel that Babru is still unable to control all the strength in his body, so he uses all his strength to suppress it. How can a person who cannot even fully control his own strength win the battle?I smiled disapprovingly.

"But I'm looking forward to the way you take the elf sister to class together. He takes the entourage of the knight apprentice to the class, and you take the pure blood elf slave girl. You will definitely make this guy's face green. Nothing compares here More interesting stuff!" Bobby laughed smugly, talking to me about college affairs without scruples.

I don't know if the elf girl next to me can understand Bobby's words. In short, she has been following us quietly, without any resistance, and has never spoken.

She is quiet and beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed.

After seeing the real elves, I realized that there are really many differences between half-elves and elves. Just like Nichols, a half-elf, he always dresses up very carefully to make himself look more like an elf. But now I realize that apart from those long ears and silver hair, his temperament, skin color, and pupil color are all very different from real elves.However, Lagertis's young girl only had an elf-like appearance on the outside of her ears.

"But then again, if you give her to me, you won't mind what I do with her?" I turned to Bobby and asked, he was imagining the scene of Nichols' embarrassment with a smirk, and the cheap expression on his face was very bad.

Bobby swore to me: "Of course, you are her master after all!"

After that, Bobby glanced at the diners around, and said to me in a low voice: "Bring you to this restaurant, the food is very special, probably only here in El City, it is delicious thing!"

I admit that Bobby is more picky about food than I am, and he likes fried chicken legs best.

Some people in the food shop were attracted by the orc mother and daughter. They stared at them with a bit of disgust, probably because they thought it was very unlucky to meet two orcs in a restaurant. .

No one likes to meet dirty orcs while eating. Although the orc mother and daughter look neat, people here have been used to thinking for many years that the orcs living on the Pai Plateau never take a bath. The water of the Lutu River is extremely cold. It is this big river that allows orcs to only have three opportunities to bathe in their lives: when they are born, before coming of age, and after they die.

In fact, in my impression, the orcs in the orc tribe prefer cleanliness than the residents in the slums of El City. At least they can take a bath every two days on average, while the residents in the slums of El City are There is no way to do this.

Bobby stood beside me, and his personal bodyguard, Babru, went up and whispered to a waiter in the food store, and immediately the waiter saluted me and Bobby humbly, and then respectfully We were led from the noisy lobby into a quiet small hall.

...beautiful dividing line...

"No one forced me to become a slave." This was the first sentence the female orc warrior sat down to say to me.

A moment ago, I asked her why she became a slave.Because the slave traders here have the guts to sell the elven nobles of Etia, and they are unwilling to provoke the orcs on the Pai Plateau. In fact, because they are afraid of the endless revenge of the orc warriors, the slave traders on the Pai Plateau, Orc slaves will not be bought to Sloit Province, which is too close to the Pai Plateau.

She saw the surprise and puzzlement in my eyes, but she showed a helpless and wry smile, bent down and hugged the little half-orc girl who hugged her calf like a koala and refused to let go. There was a rare look of love in his eyes, and he looked at his daughter with endless sadness.The little girl seems to have never been to this kind of place. She is already stunned by the unscrupulous eating and drinking of the diners around her. Perhaps in her cognition, she has never seen such a rich food on the table, and there is no I have seen people around me drink so happily.Her eyes, like beautiful black beans, blinked constantly, and the fingers of a small hand were casually placed near her mouth, looking at the wheat cakes on the next table outside the door curtain, her eyes could hardly move. turn.

She just murmured to the girl in her mouth: "Ninny, I'm sorry to bring you into such a miserable world. Before you have the right to choose your life, you have become a slave!"

She seemed to be bemoaning the fate of her daughters, but I wondered why she should make herself a slave when no one was persecuting them?
Before I could say a word, someone raised the curtain outside the door, and a waiter from a big food store brought up a basin of wheat cakes that were baked golden. , almost every corner of El City, wheat cakes are the same price, but there are some differences in size, obviously the wheat cakes here are the largest I have ever seen, but I can see from the golden skin of the wheat cakes that the inside is black The dross of wheat bran, the little orc girl kept swallowing while looking at the wheat cakes that were almost much bigger than her face.

"A plate of purple green mountain sheep's cheese and a large pot of local sweet milk, the kind that should be boiled hot and filled with honey, I like the honey gathered from the linden tree, hurry up, We are all hungry. There is no need to rush the stew, it must be tasty, and the gravy must be fully soaked in the ingredients, hurry up and do as I say!" Bobby said loudly to the waiter who brought a plate of oatmeal , he didn't even roll his eyelids at that guy.

However, the waiter said very cleverly and respectfully: "Follow your will, Your Excellency the magic apprentice!" He said and exited the door respectfully.

At this time, Bobby unceremoniously reached out and grabbed a piece of golden wheat cake, and handed it to the orc girl who was drooling with hunger.

The little half-orc girl, who was only about four or five years old, looked at the warm wheat cake in Bobby's hand with some hesitation. Although she wanted it very much, she still resisted reaching out to take it, and just looked at herself pitifully. She doesn't understand what her mother just said, but she has to obey her mother's will. If her eyes are firm, she will not reach out to take the wheat cake.

But then she found that her mother nodded to herself unexpectedly. The little girl couldn't believe her eyes, and blinked hard, and found that her mother was indeed nodding to indicate: yes!She couldn't wait to reach out her little hand to catch the golden baked wheat cake, which was still hot on the outside. Although the little girl grinned from the heat, she held the wheat cake with both hands and sent it to her mother.

"Grandmother, what is this, why is it so fragrant!" The little girl asked the Beast Warrior naively, and after thinking about it for a while, she made a difficult decision, and said to the Beast Warrior: "Grandma! , can I just eat a small piece? I have eaten delicious black bread just now, and I am not so hungry. I can take this piece of wheat cake home and leave it to my brothers! I am still young , can’t eat that much!”

I seem to have realized where the problem lies. I didn't expect someone to be so stupid as to want to sell herself. I really want to know what kind of difficulties this female beast warrior encountered.

"The warriors of the orc tribe once stood at the mountain pass of the Gludin Fortress and roared loudly at the emperor of the Grimm Empire: Orcs will never be slaves!" The roar of the soldiers under me, the orc language burst out in my throat like an erupting volcano, and I stared at the orc female warrior angrily.For a long time, in my mind, the warriors in the orc tribe would never have the word "surrender". They would rather die than be others' slaves.

For a moment, the female beast warrior's eyes appeared in a trance, probably because she recalled those fragments of life in the orc tribe, but her willpower was very strong, and she recovered in a moment, and said to me calmly: "Food! "

The female beast warrior began to recall the past, with deep eyes, revealing a touch of sadness: "We are a group of deserters who ran down from the Pai Plateau. We abandoned our belief in the Beast God. The orc tribe on the Pai Plateau** **** That year, we dug up and ate grass roots within tens of miles of the tribe, but we still failed to survive the famine. Since the third heavy snowfall in the deep winter, people in the tribe have continued to die , our large tribe of 3000 people only had more than 2000 people left in the spring after the ice and snow melted. We dug them out and ate them, more and more people died of starvation in the whole tribe, and many warriors of the tribe were going to participate in the spring hunting, and the life of the remaining orcs was even more difficult..."

She narrated the past, and from her words, a very clear picture emerged in my mind:
Winter goes to spring, and the land is barren after the ice and snow melt. An orc girl who just participated in the human ceremony became a female orc warrior because of her excellent hunting skills, but because she is a girl, she was excluded from the spring hunting. After the warriors left the tribe, the livelihood of the tribe became more difficult. In desperation, the old patriarch had no choice but to try to relocate the whole tribe, looking for a place with more abundant aquatic plants...

But the tribe is too big, and the places they pass are like locusts crossing the border. They can eat almost all the edible things along the way. Even so, people will still starve to death. At that time, as long as someone gets sick, it is equivalent to being sentenced For the death penalty, the tribe no longer provided any food, and the food had to be reserved for those orcs who had the hope of surviving.The large army of the tribe has to go further to the Yelian Mountains, and the sick orcs will be abandoned. This is related to whether the entire tribe can continue. This is the way of survival in the wasteland.

More than 100 sick orcs were abandoned on the journey. The feeling of being abandoned is not good. The little brother of the orc girl is among these abandoned people. The orc girl decided to stay and take care of these abandoned because of illness. Orcs, in fact, everyone knows that staying here is just waiting to die, and there will be nothing to eat here.Those days were like nightmares, deeply imprinted in the girl's memory, looking for food like crazy, but people still died, died of illness, starved to death, couldn't bear the pain of disease and starvation and committed suicide .

Until everyone felt that they had been forgotten by the orcs, and were waiting for the death to come in despair.

But what was waiting was a group of horse caravans. A human caravan happened to pass by here. The human boy on the horse was smugly waving his whip and galloping on the wasteland. He saw the orc girl kneeling on the ground. , Digging the grass roots in the soil desperately, riding on the horse and saying to her: If you have something that you think is very valuable, you can exchange it with us, we have a lot of rye flour!

At night, orc girls and sick orcs who were abandoned got the best porridge ever.

The human youth frowned and looked at the broken copper and iron piled up on the ground. He touched the corner of his mouth with his hand in embarrassment and said: It is difficult for you to exchange more black flour.

In the eyes of the orc girl, businessmen are extremely cunning vampires, but in the face of the hope of living, vampires can also become beautiful angels.

The human race boy finally said whimsically: Since you can't afford more black flour, or else you will give me hard labor.

However, the admonitions of the blood wolf orcs of Gludin made all the orcs remember: the orcs will never be slaves!Although these orcs were abandoned by the beast gods, they would rather starve to death than go to the human territory to be a humble slave.

The human youth frowned and thought hard: My orchard needs a lot of coolies, you can follow me back to El City, you are free, we are just an employment relationship, I can provide you with food, but you must give I'll work until you've paid off your debts, or we should have a deadline, and I'll pay you off as long as you work as coolies on my estate for three years!
Then these orcs, led by the orc girl, set foot on the human kingdom and came to the rich city of El, where there are golden apple trees all over the mountains and plains.

It was also at this time that the orcs who came from afar knew for the first time that the golden apples on the apple trees all over the mountains and plains could not be eaten casually, and all the apples belonged to their owners.

The life of plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset is so beautiful.

The human boy was loved by the elders in the family, and he has become the leader of the younger generation in the family, but the good times didn't last long, and all the tragedies came to an end when the human boy and the orc girl were combined together. , The combination of the two was strongly dissatisfied by the human juvenile family.But the stubborn boy resisted everyone's pressure and married the orc girl, and the two gave birth to a cute little half-orc girl.

On the day the girl was born, the human teenager fell off his horse and died unexpectedly on the way home...

This group of orc laborers from the wilderness were driven out of the manor, and the orc girl became an ominous person...
