Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 41 Pets
After a long time, facing those beautiful maids who diligently serve her, Xia Ye will recall the morning when Luca took her to meet pets.

……

"So... this is a pet?"

Xia Ye looked in front of her eyes and muttered to herself in surprise.

Unexpected...but expected.

No wonder both Luka and Lilian had such weird expressions when they heard Xia Ye mentioned pets.

Don't they think... I want to buy a few back?
Pets are not animals, nor are they creatures from another world.

It's a witch.and--

At a glance, Xia Ye saw that they were all witches with good looks, the lowest was 2, the highest was over 2.5, and the average was around 2.3-2.4.

"So, Debusota allows human trafficking?" Xia Ye pointed to the beautiful "goods" around her and asked Luca.

"So you don't know what a pet is?" Luca asked in surprise.

"I don't know. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I just came to Debusota not long ago, so I'm not very familiar with it." Xia Ye said half-truthfully, "In the place where I lived before, pets refer to pets that are similar to using Something like a demon."

"I see." Luca nodded, with a relieved expression on her face.

Xia Ye caught this subtle expression change, and couldn't help but smile: "What? You thought I was coming to buy it?"

"Uh... yes." Luca hesitated for a moment, and finally answered frankly, "Actually, I personally... don't really like the practice of buying and selling pets, but it is indeed allowed in Debusota."

"Oh, don't worry, at least I won't buy pets now." Xia Ye pursed her lips and smiled.

"Now?"

"Because I am very short of magic power now." To be precise, I am short of 2575 moles to pay off the current overdraft.

"Then if you don't need anything..." Luca frowned slightly.

"I'll talk about this kind of question when the time comes." Xia Ye replied, walking towards a pet standing in the fence, "Although I don't like this kind of behavior, maybe I can't resist buying one? After all, some of the pets here are really cute."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and lightly stroked the pet's cheek with her fingers.It was a girl with black hair and black eyes. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Luka, but her temperament was very different. If Luka was like a sharp sword that had been honed over thousands of years, then this one in front of her could only be regarded as A fruit knife.

"You are so beautiful, little sister." Xia Ye said to her with a smile.

Under the gaze of Xia Ye's crimson eyes, "Fruit Knife" sister's expression was both nervous and expectant: "Then...then can you buy me?"

"No, because the person behind me is staring at me." Xia Ye chuckled.

Although she rejected the other party, her fingers still stayed on the other party's delicate face, refusing to leave.It's a pity that at this moment, a voice sounded beside her, stopping her plan to continue mopping up.

"This guest. If you don't want to buy, please don't touch the product at will."

Xia Ye turned her head and saw the owner of the pet shop staring at her unkindly.

"Okay, okay..." She obediently withdrew her hand, turned and walked towards Luca, "Shall we go?"

After finishing speaking, she walked out of this pet shop first, and then - walked into another one next door.

The entire street here is full of large and small pet shops. There are estimated to be hundreds of them in total. It is one of the largest pet trading markets in Debsota.

"Why did you do that just now?" Luka asked from behind.

"How?" Xia Ye asked back.

"..." Luca fell silent for a while.

"Oh, yes, I also have a question." Xia Ye said, "Why do some people like to buy pets in Debusota?"

As an oviparous creature that reproduces asexually, a witch should not have that kind of desire. That's why Xia Ye was so surprised when she saw her pet for the first time.

"Didn't you like it just now?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xia Ye always felt that the tone of Luka's words was a bit strange.

"I did that just for fun." She looked at Luca innocently, "It doesn't mean I really want to buy one back. So I'm curious, what are the reasons for those people who buy pets?" A need, or desire?"

Luca thought for a while before saying: "Actually, I don't know too well. People in the lower city rarely buy pets, and most of the customers who come here are people from the middle-class area. As for the upper city, there are several specialized suppliers. Merchants, they will regularly deliver the best quality goods to the upper city, for the people there to choose.

So I'm just hearing from hearsay: even if people in middle-level areas buy pets, they buy at most one or two pets, and they usually use them as a beautiful tool or toy.But people in Uptown are a little different. It is said that some people like to collect... Therefore, it is said that some people even have hundreds of pets in their homes. "

Xia Ye nodded thoughtfully after listening.

Although witches do not have that kind of physical desire, they still have other desires, such as possessiveness, control, dominance, and even collection... These desires are enough to support the emergence of this industry.

What's more, Debusota uses magic power as currency, and people who go bankrupt with magic power debts are legally equivalent to dead people.Although Luca didn't say anything, Xia Ye could already guess where so many pets came from.

"Are these pets bankrupt?" To confirm her guess, she asked Luca.

"Right." Luca replied.

"According to the terms of Chapter 4 of the "Debt Code", the bankrupt can go to any company that has a pet business license before bankruptcy or within 48 hours after bankruptcy, and register and apply to become a pet on a voluntary basis. , it can become a pet for sale. From this moment, the pet company will have its ownership, use and sales rights, and all the debts it bears must also be paid off by the pet company.”

Luca paused, and added: "In terms of law, a pet is an individual who is about to lose or has lost the right to live, and the pet company has regained the right to live by spending a certain amount of magical power. Therefore, in terms of law, The pet company has the power to control its life and death. At the same time, this right is also transferable. If a buyer buys a pet from the pet company, the power to control the life and death of the pet will naturally be transferred to the buyer. "

"Um……"

Xia Ye is not surprised that buyers can control the life and death of pets.She thought for a while, and then asked: "You just mentioned 'a company with a pet business license', that is to say, do you need to obtain some kind of license before you can sell pets?"

"Yes. All companies or individuals must obtain a license issued by 'Ether Exploration' before they can produce and sell pets and pet-related supplies." Luca replied.

"Supplies?"

"Yes, like the collars they wear around their necks," Luca said.

Xia Ye did see that all the pets wore a collar around their necks, with different styles. Although they were all made to look good, Xia Ye could guess that their function was not just to look good.
