  Chapter 497 Gaiden: Eternal Dragon Rider Dragon Rider Eternal IV

The three guys listened to Reinhardt, you look at me, I look at you, and finally, Noy finally spoke out as a representative, "Reinhardt, you don't know, didn't we give Do you have an egg? We didn't know what it was at first, but now we do. Well, that's it, well."

   This made Reinhard very surprised. Could it be that they came here just to get back the eggs?

Just as Reinhardt was thinking about it, Noy continued, "Because of this egg, our clan and the wolf, monster, and beast clan were all attacked by the plague ghost, the minion of the alien monster in the west, and had to run to the troll. But not long after, a large number of plague monsters appeared in the troll's territory, and a guy named Radamantis led them, forcing us to say, where did the egg go, and asked And you."

Noy took a sip of the glass of water on the table and continued, "Actually, we were quite scared at the time, fearing that this guy named Radamantis would wipe out our entire family. However, in the end, all of us decided that in order to repay you at the beginning For our kindness, I decided to sneak away and leave there, even if I was hunted down to death, I would never disclose any news about you."

Perhaps recalling the horror of being hunted down by Radamantis at that time, everyone's face was a little pale. Reinhard was very excited when he heard it. It turned out that these guys sacrificed the stability of this group in order not to betray themselves. Life.

Noy said excitedly again, "Originally, we were trapped in the canyon by a large number of plague ghosts. We were surrounded by monsters from other worlds, and we thought we were doomed. attack, and we also fled to a mysterious place, and met a noble undead wizard, Mr. Danzig. He said, you are his contractor and his friend, so we decided to spend a lot of energy , Send us all here to fight with you! You see, we came here in such a daze."

  Noy slobbered and talked, and quickly finished these things like a running account.

   Sure enough, as expected of a technical person, he pursues efficiency in his speech.

   Reinhard was also deeply moved when he heard this. This is another time he owes Danzig a favor.

   I didn’t expect that Danzig would intervene in the affairs of these human races, and let them come here to help him. In this way, Danzig has always known his whereabouts...

  But Reinhardt doesn't know who Radamantis is, he has only seen Death Knight Dais!

   Then he asked, "By the way, you said that a ghost named Radamantis wanted to hunt you down and want to know my whereabouts. I don't know him, so why did he hunt me down?"

   "Reinhardt, we don't know about this either. However, monsters from other worlds are not good things, they only destroy and destroy. I must have taken a fancy to your balls."

  Noi's explanation should come from the idea of ​​their wetland dwarves. The real reason is probably not understood by the four people here.

"Well, let's not mention them for the time being. Since you are here, I welcome you. Don't worry, your people will never starve to death. If you want to eat and live, you have to live." Reinhardt stood up , committed to these three guys.

"Reinhardt, don't worry, we won't eat you for nothing. We trolls have a lot of strength. I think your city wall should be repaired. It's so low. If it wasn't for your face just now, our clansman It has already jumped in."

The simple and honest words of the troll leader made Reinhardt feel really comfortable. What I was waiting for was your words. Henghui City doesn’t have the energy to support idlers, but with the help of these alien races, Henghui City can definitely survive in a very short period of time. Become a famous city in the north of the empire within a short period of time!

"Jie Jie, Reinhardt, we are here, and we plan to mess with you, hey, the Warcraft family, it's nothing special, although I can't beat it, but our ability guarantees that we will be able to make it within three days. You know, which female monster clan their boss had **** with last night! Jie Jie!"

  Wolf monsters and orcs really do this, and they really like to inquire about such things, with a sinister smile on their faces.

   "Reinhardt, we wetland dwarves have nothing but a lot of firearms. Look, that's it. There are probably a thousand of them."

Noy was even more fierce. He directly took a package from behind, and took out a firearm with great effort. Although the firearm was quite small, Reinhardt absolutely did not doubt the power of this guy. If thousands of dwarves carried firearms Weapons, standing on the city wall, firing all arrows, it is guaranteed to give the Warcraft family an unforgettable memory!

   "By the way, you guys didn't lose anything this time, right? How much did you come?" Reinhardt finally asked the most important question right now.

   "There are more than 10,000 members of my clan."

  Noy said lightly, if it weren't for the impact of the plague, the small but super-fertile little dwarves would have a population of hundreds of thousands in their most glorious time.

   "We have fewer, thousands of people."

  Wolf monsters and orcs don't eat well all the year round, so there won't be many of them.

   "We only have a few hundred people."

   Everyone knows the fecundity of trolls. If they were huge, if they had strong fecundity, there would have been famines due to food problems.

  Reinhardt nodded. These numbers are not too many. As long as the teleportation array is completed, the food problem can be solved.

   It can be said that with the teleportation array, it is not a problem to ask for money, weapons, armor, or food.

  After arranging their accommodation, Reinhardt walked out of the Protectorate's mansion, but was grabbed by Thiago, seeing him embarrassed and said, "My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

   "Huh? If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it!" Reinhardt thought in his heart, could it be that he disapproved of Noy's arrival, and also, Henghui City currently lacks resources and supplies.

"My lord, I think you might as well establish a fixed assistance relationship with William, your father-in-law, instead of directly asking for it like now. Although he is your father-in-law, as a businessman, interests are the top priority." Considered. What do you think, my lord?"

   Reinhardt suddenly came to his senses after saying this. William really had no obligation to help him. Besides, did he really think that what William said that night could be regarded as a kind of credit?

   Most of the merchant’s verbal words are mainly polite, and he is really a fan of the entrants, so he asked, "Well, you are right, so what good advice do you have?"

   "Your Majesty knows that your lord is a master blacksmith, so he must have reached some kind of business verbal or written agreement with William, right?" Seeing that Reinhardt didn't blame him, Thiago boldly guessed.

"Well. That's it. William asked me to help him refine the special soul spar with more impurities, and he provided me with financial and weapon assistance." Reinhardt did not hide it, this time it will allow Thiago to do it make an accurate judgment.

"It's easy to handle this way. After the teleportation array is set up, I can use this agreement to negotiate with the patriarch William. My lord, you can take a look first." Thiago took out an agreement and handed it to Reinha In front of Te, it seems that after he said the plan, Thiago has already prepared the agreement.

Reinhard took a general look. It turned out that Thiago had thought of the number of refined soul crystals early in the morning, how much compensation he would get in proportion, monthly supply, etc. Reinhard didn't quite understand these things. , but he didn't think too much about it. With Thiago around, he didn't have to deal with everything.

  Handing the agreement back to Thiago, Reinhardt said, "Thiago, you can make up your mind about this matter. Have you brought all the middle-level dark attribute primitive quality soul crystals that I asked you to bring?"

   "Look, my lord, but these?" Thiago took out a pack of soul crystals from his arms and handed them to Reinhardt.

  Take out one, take a closer look, that's right, it is it, the dark attribute original special soul spar, Reinhardt put away this pack of special soul spar.

  Thiago said to Reinhardt, "My lord, I saw that your subordinates were going to win over the wandering bandits. This is indeed a short-term way to increase the supply of soldiers. The subordinates also have an idea."

   "Just say it." Reinhardt found that Thiago was really careful in doing things.

   "Slaves, there are slaves everywhere. If you have enough funds, slaves are a very helpful choice."

Hearing what Tiago said, Reinhard felt that it made sense. He didn't know these things at first, and he had never even been to the slave market in the imperial capital. Except for fighting and killing enemies, he and his brothers were more in harmony with each other. Okay, let Thiago be responsible for the rest.

So he said to Thiago, "Tiago, you don't have to report everything to me in the future. If you think it works, you can do it boldly. I will give you the independence of the northern administrative command, but you can make decisions about these things. .You bring a pen and paper, and I will sign it."

   Thiago hurriedly took out the pen and paper with excitement on his face, and handed it to Reinhardt. For the first time in many years, he felt that he could show his ambitions. This is also Thiago's lifelong dream.

   Now that there is a good boss like Reinhardt, Thiago secretly decided in his heart that he will do his best for the Duke all his life!

   Swipe, Swipe, Swipe!

After writing a few big characters, Reinhardt patted Tiago on the shoulder and said, "You arrange for my visiting friends, they are willing to help us. I believe you must know how to make them play the best role Right. I have to quickly create four middle-level dark attribute soul crystals to build our first teleportation array."

  Reinhardt returned to the Duke's Mansion in Henghui City for the first time, which was the mansion where the chief executive lived here. After Reinhardt came, he naturally wanted to move in here.

  A group of my friends and Lan Guli all moved in early, but I, the master, was put aside because of my busy schedule.

   Seeing that everyone was not in the hall, Reinhardt also went back to his room.

  Take out a soul spar with original characteristics, Reinhardt doesn't know now, whether the forging technique is also improved while the strength is improved.

Using his perception, Reinhardt immediately felt that the surrounding elements began to stir wildly, a faint halo rose from the special soul spar, and Bahamut, the Dragon Soul Consciousness Sea, suddenly screamed, Lai Inhardt immediately stopped and asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

   "Come in and see for yourself." Bahamut said in a trembling voice.

   Helpless, Reinhardt's perception instantly entered the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​Consciousness, and he was dumbfounded as soon as he entered.

  I saw that the entire Dragon Soul Sea of ​​Consciousness not only has the original heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, but also the most strange thing is that a black rotating cave appeared in the sky. At a glance, it is bottomless.

   "What's going on here? There was no such thing before, where did it come out, Bahamut, tell me, did you make a fool of it?"

  Reinhard immediately looked at Bahamut, but he was even more horrified.

Because Bahamut doesn't know when it started, he has grown up a lot, hovering in the air, looking at the black hole at this moment, trembling all over, seems to be very scared, and said in a panic, "Master, master, close it quickly!" After seeing this thing, I feel like I'm going to be pushed up by it. You see, it keeps instilling energy into me, and it won't take long, I'm afraid I will explode."

Sure enough, Reinhardt took a closer look, there was a translucent energy belt on Bahamut's body at some point, connected to that black hole like the umbilical cord of a newborn baby, and it was constantly sending energy to him at this moment. Bahamut was also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Reinhardt's perception immediately swept towards the black hole. Fortunately, he did not reject his own perception. It should be controlled by the matter belonging to his Dragon Soul Sea of ​​Consciousness. Reinhardt began to slowly reduce the rotation frequency of the black hole, and gradually Yes, it finally stopped, and it stopped sending energy to Bahamut, but what surprised Reinhardt was that after the black hole stopped, it was actually not black, but translucent and misty. White.

   "Bahamut, are you okay? What's going on here?" Reinhard asked Bahamut for a while, not understanding.

"Master, don't you know that dragon knights can't use magic? And you just mobilized a lot of magic elements, which caused the Dragon Soul Consciousness Sea to have a strong reaction, forming energy and rushing in crazily. The excess energy If you have nowhere to go, just hold me tight, if you come in later, I will be finished."

  Bahamut looked at the black hole with lingering fear.

   This is great, can’t we refine the middle-level light attribute trait soul spar?

   Once the refining fails to cause the external magical elements to go crazy, then Bahamut will die.

  Reinhard said helplessly, "What should I do, I still have to refine the special soul spar..."

   "Master, don't you even understand this space? You can sense the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​Consciousness, you made it, and you will understand."

Hearing what Bahamut said, Reinhardt began to feel the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​Consciousness that he had created by himself. Sure enough, everything in the space here was set by himself, and it was no different from the outside. The sky is above and the earth is below. From the height to the ground, etc., the river is the same as the outside, but is there anything wrong with it?

   Reinhard was puzzled, "Indeed, I made this, and the space here is the same as the outside, isn't it right?"

   "Nonsense, it's the same, the outside magic elements can affect me, which is why you couldn't use magic before." Bahamut growled.

   "Huh? That's true, so what should I do?" Reinhardt still didn't understand.

  Bahamut hugged his head and said in pain, "You just need to immerse yourself in the sea of ​​dragon soul consciousness and refine the soul spar!"

  A drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of Reinhardt's forehead. Indeed, this seems to be very simple, why didn't I think of it!

  In one night, while immersed in the sea of ​​dragon soul consciousness, Reinhardt finished refining the special soul spar.

  I thought to myself, do I have to work so hard every time I want to refine a special soul spar or use magic?

   Could it be that he is destined not to be able to use magic? Thinking of this, Reinhard was very discouraged...

"Haha, I'm still worried about magic. You don't have to worry, as long as I come out of the dragon soul sea of ​​consciousness, can't you use magic elements?" Bahamut is in the sea of ​​consciousness, of course because Reinha It would be dangerous to use magic, but since Bahamut is gone, Reinhard can naturally mobilize magic elements at will.

"But you don't know when you will be able to come out. I originally planned to finish these things, and then proceed to the third stage of practice, and also learn magic." Reinhardt touched the special soul in his hand Crystal said helplessly.

"Well, master, I need a lot of low-level special soul crystals to eat. You should find them for me as soon as possible. First, you can use magic at will, and second, I don't have to stay here all day. However, there is one thing , Master, you should pay attention to the sudden appearance of this black hole, could it be the mutation of the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​Consciousness? Still have lingering fear.

Reinhardt got off the bed, opened the window and looked at the yard and said leisurely, "It's a necromancer named Danzig. I don't remember knowing this person before, but he probably won't frame me, because he and I Signed a balance pact."

   "What? You've been fooled! The content of the so-called soul contract can be changed by adding cryptic symbols at will. I'm afraid that you will not only sell your soul, oh my god, you will also..."

  Bahamut wanted to say that Reinhardt was too stupid, but he hadn't regained consciousness at that time, so he couldn't help him at all...

   "How come?! Isn't it impossible to change the contract once it is established? If it is true as you said, then I was not tricked by him?"

Reinhardt withdrew his gaze and inspected the contract imprint in his body nervously, "Phew! Fortunately, he didn't modify it, and I think so, he has never been hostile to me, and I feel like seeing a He's like an old friend. Besides, this time he helped rescue Noy and the others."

   "I'm not sure about this. But master, you'd better be careful."

Reinhardt doesn’t agree very much. If it was changed to the previous situation, he would agree, but now he feels that sometimes friends can be trusted. At least Danzig is now a friend rather than an enemy to everyone. As for Reinhard’s future Hart didn't think about it too much, wouldn't it be tiring to always be on guard against this and that in life...

  …

  Looking at the sky, it was already gray and there was a little light. Seeing that everyone was still dreaming, Reinhardt left the mansion and came to the magic teleportation array that had already been laid.

At first, Reinhard thought that the diameter of the teleportation array should be less than ten meters, but now he doesn't think so. Looking at the giant magic teleportation array with a diameter of 100 meters that was laid last night, Reinhardt Hart was dumbfounded on the spot.

   I think it was the help of those alien races overnight, but...

  Where should this special soul spar be placed?

   "My lord, you got up very early."

   Just when Reinhardt was in a daze, Thiago came up not far away and greeted Reinhardt with a smile.

   "Tiago, is this the teleportation array? It's so big? Can the energy of this middle-level special soul spar provide its operation?"

  Reinhardt looked at the special soul crystal less than the size of a fist in his hand and said worriedly.

   "Haha, my lord doesn't know how special this magic circle is. Not to mention the four middle-level special soul crystals, only one of them can be activated, but the number of transmissions will be greatly reduced."

Tiago pulled Reinhardt to the front of the teleportation array, pointed to a small groove in it and explained, "Look, sir, this is where the special soul crystal is placed. Once the special soul crystal is placed in the teleportation array, Stone, it will automatically activate the magic circle in it, and the operation of the magic circle can drive the operation of the entire external dark attribute elements. When the amount of external light attribute elements reaches a certain level, it will shatter other elements and form a single Dark attribute magic particles, these magic particles will produce vibrations that are invisible to the naked eye. When the frequency of the vibration exceeds the amount that this space can bear, it will break open the void. According to the mark of the magic circle, our magic teleportation circle is connected At the gate of the western square of the imperial capital, there is also a magic teleportation array, once we break through the void here, a connecting channel can be formed, this is the principle of the teleportation array..."

   "Tiago, it seems that you were serious about learning magic before, and you know such details."

  After listening to Tiago's explanation, Reinhardt finally understood that the principle of the teleportation array is still relatively complicated, and even the magic array is not easy to come by.

  But Reinhardt doesn't think too much about those historical issues now, and quickly puts the special soul spar in his hand into that groove.

   "My lord, wait!"

   Seeing that Reinhardt was about to put special soul spar in, Thiago immediately stopped him.

Seeing Reinhardt's puzzled expression, Thiago took out a crystal clear box from his arms, ran to the center of the teleportation array, put it into a groove in between, and then continued, "My lord, I've put the activation fresh-keeping box of the teleportation array away. Now you can put the special soul spar in it. If there is no such thing, once the soul in the soul spar can run away, the place will explode!"

   "My lord, when the four magic circles are built, I believe that using them will definitely generate a lot of money!" Thiago's face was full of excitement.

  Reinhardt admires Thiago very much. He can make money and save money. It is estimated that few people can use this teleportation array. At least in this barren north, it will not be of great use...

After the special soul spar was put in, Thiago was surprised, "My lord, you refined it from the original special soul spar I gave you? How do I feel that as long as this special soul spar can fully load the magic?" Is the array working?"

  Hearing what Thiago said, Reinhardt realized that the quality of the middle-level special soul spar refined by him was already equivalent to the sum of four special soul spars of the same level refined by other blacksmiths.

   "Tiago, have you forgotten why William asked me to cooperate?"

   Thiago slapped his forehead and said in embarrassment, "That's right, I'm so confused that I even forgot about this."

"Tiago, how about I put other special soul crystals in there to see what effect it will have, what do you think? Anyway, I can make special soul crystals, and they will come quickly." Reinhard touched Touching the special soul spar in his hand, he couldn't help but have a whim.

   "Uh, that's fine."

Thiago is speechless again, who are these people, the cost of teleportation is twice as high as that of the imperial capital, and the special soul spar is still the best, one is not enough, you have to put four, there is a saying how to say , we do not seek the best but the most expensive, but this time, it should be said that we not only seek the best but also the most expensive.

  Put special soul spars one by one along the perimeter of the teleportation array. Reinhardt walked to Tiago's side, and took a look with him at the scene where the teleportation array was about to start.

   Hum!

The magic circle with a diameter of 100 meters was provided by the energy of the special soul spar, and it let out a low sound, and the complex rune imprints slowly flew up, and under the reflection of the milky white teleportation stone, it exuded a charming bright white light , the imprint gradually rose to the midair, forming a beautiful picture, and beams of light more than ten meters high rose up in four equal directions around the teleportation array, and began to rotate rapidly around the rune picture in the air .

   It didn't take long for the speed of the beam of light to rotate beyond the limit of the naked eye of the human race, and it became blurred, and moved closer to the middle picture. With a whoosh, it finally merged with the middle rune picture, and slowly disappeared into the air.

Seeing that the magic circle had been successfully activated, Thiago came to the middle of the teleportation circle, turned his head and said to Reinhardt, "My lord, this is the first time I use this teleportation circle, why don't my lord come with me to the slave market in the imperial capital, Anyway, I have made arrangements for your friends, and there are no other major matters at the moment."

  For the first time, I’d better go there in person and introduce Thiago to William. In the future, I’ll have to rely on Thiago, and I also want to visit the slave market.

  Thinking of this, Reinhard nodded, and stood in the middle of the magic circle with Thiago.

Turn on the magic circle, but this time there is no magnificent scene like just now, but the whole magic circle is slightly lit up, and there are many black lights in the middle of the teleportation circle, like black holes in the universe, presumably Dark attribute magic elements. Not long after, the mist began to gather and came to Reinhardt and Thiago, and the sound of barking kept ringing.

   Gradually, a black rotating cave appeared in the air. Reinhardt took a look, how could this thing be exactly the same as what he saw in the Dragon Soul Consciousness Sea last night?

   There was no time for Reinhard to think too much, Thiago hurriedly dragged Reinhard into the black hole.

After entering the black hole, Reinhardt felt erratic. He felt like he was walking in the starry sky. There was no concept of time in it. I don’t know how long it took. When the light appeared again in front of his eyes, he found that he and Ti Yago was already in another much smaller teleportation array, and he took a closer look, isn't this the imperial capital?

   This teleportation array is really magical, allowing me to fly thousands of miles in a short time.

  …

Reinhardt looked at Thiago who was carrying a large bag of special soul crystals beside him, and said, "Tiago, is the agreement signed by William and I really okay? Millions of gold coins, wouldn't he loss?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Thiago said, "My lord, do you know? After you refine the special soul spar, the low-level ones can be compared to the elementary-level soul energy energy, and the elementary-level ones can be compared to the middle-level soul crystals." The energy of this low-level special soul spar is generally around 1,000 gold coins in the current market. You think, after your refining, the price will reach nearly 10,000. How much profit is there? Even if the buyer believes that it is a low-level The price of special soul spar is less than 10,000, but it must be more than 5,000, right? A single elementary special soul spar can have several times the net profit. Take a look, my lord, I am carrying a big bag of low High-level special soul spar, according to what you said, there are dozens of special soul crystals of this level that can be refined every day, I think it’s not worthwhile for adults, William will lose money.”

Reinhard patted Thiago on the shoulder and said, "Oh, even though it is calculated like this, you think William is not allowed to open a shop, there are a lot of expenses to be spent, and if we do it ourselves, we will definitely not be able to achieve it. With such a scale, one thousand special soul crystals can be sold at one go. Therefore, apart from the cost, I think this is already quite generous."

Thiago was also clear in his heart, and nodded after hearing Reinhardt's words, "Your Excellency is right. However, Your Excellency is the fast-paced son-in-law of the Lear family. They are all a family anyway, and your Excellency can provide you with superior qualities." If you give the soul spar to the family, Patriarch William will not treat you badly in the future. Heh, it’s superfluous to say these things.”

  Thiago’s words are not unreasonable. You really shouldn’t be too greedy, especially in business. Mutual benefit is the best.

Some things, such as the manufacture and sale of special soul crystals, are the work of the Lear family. Reinhardt knows that in addition to being the son-in-law of the Lear family, he is also William’s partner. The provision of equipment and supplies still depends on William's strong support.

   The two of them came to the slave market in the imperial capital all the way.

Looking up, there are crowds of people outside the slave market, which is very lively. Reinhard couldn't help asking, "Tiago, this is the slave market? It's very lively. Is it popular for everyone to buy a few slaves and go home to show off? "

Thiago also looked at the situation outside the slave market, "Hehe, my lord, not everyone is as rich as you, my lord. Most of these people come to sell slaves, and only a small number of people come to buy them. If I want to make a good guess , Today we caught up with a good day."

   "Slave sellers? Are there still such active slave sellers? Didn't you say that most of the slaves were forced to sell themselves because they were too poor to survive?"

  Reinhardt's understanding of the slavery system is limited to the fact that he sold his labor power in order to survive in the mines, but he is definitely not working hard, just an exploited child laborer.

"My lord, you are wrong. Most of the slaves are sold here by slave traders, but they are wholesale slaves. The real slaves are these retailers. Look, the one with a shy belly and a yellow coat Fatty, he is a well-known slave retailer here. Today should be a day to go to the market for auction. These slave traders sold a large number of slaves here, and then the retailers selected better slaves and went to the market auction for auction!" Thiago knew much more about the slave market than Reinhardt.

   "Oh? Where did the slave trader's slaves come from?"

  As soon as Tiago mentioned it, Reinhardt also became interested. This is the first time I heard that slaves can be divided into wholesale and retail.

"My lord, some of these slaves sold themselves on their own initiative, and some were captured during the war, but more of them were captured by the private army of slave traders in some poor lands and sold as slaves. There were also dwarves and dwarves , elves, etc. My lord, look, some female elves have been caught and sold here, presumably they are going to enter the trading market for auction."

Thiago pointed to a place where the crowd was the most commotion outside the slave market. Sure enough, he saw some handsome elves with pointed ears and disheveled clothes, chained together by a long chain, and being pulled into the Auction venue.

"Didn't we have an armistice agreement with the elves? Why are we going to catch them and sell them now?" Reinhardt was a little shocked when he saw the elves. Although the elves committed heinous crimes against the humans, five hundred years have passed. There shouldn't be any effort between them to be bought and sold.

"The truce is true, but that was five hundred years ago. Now we have a bad relationship with the elves, and there are often small-scale battles. These slaves were captured. Sir, don't you have dwarf friends too? You must be very clear about what happened to them, how can you be surprised that elves are sold in the slave market?" Thiago thought of the huge number of wetland dwarves.

  Recalling what happened to the wetland dwarves in the west, it is true that the relationship between the human race and them is not very good now. Even if Martial is the prince of the dwarves, he can rely on the protection of the Knight Academy to be fine.

   But still often called a dwarf.

   Reinhard didn't say much when he thought of this, and he and Thiago walked to the entrance of the auction venue.

   "Stop, please show your VIP card when entering the venue!"

   Just as Reinhardt was about to go in, he was stopped by two big men at the door.

VIP card? what?

   Reinhard looked at Thiago in confusion.

   "My lord, I forgot to tell you just now, all slave auctions require a VIP card to be eligible to enter." Thiago explained.

  If people enter this kind of place casually, it will be a mess. Usually only people with status and status can enter, or they are slaves.

Reluctantly, Reinhardt took out the card made of the soul spar of the Lear family, which was given to him by his father-in-law. This card, as long as any soul spar store run by the Lear family in the empire It can be exchanged for soul spar. Of course, soul spar can also be understood as gold coins.

  Holding the soul spar card in front of the two big men, Reinhardt said, "I'm here to buy slaves, can't I go in?"

"Hmph! Just take a card to coax me. I've seen too many people like you, so I got a fake soul spar card to deceive me!" The big man looked at Reinhardt's ordinary clothes, and then looked at him. The card in his hand was full of disdain.

   "You can see clearly, this is a special soul spar card issued by the Lear family, can there be fakes?" Reinhardt was a little angry.

"My lord, I'm really sorry. Even if the card in your hand is the soul spar card issued by the Lear family, you can't go in. The venue stipulates that anyone who doesn't have a VIP card will not be allowed in! So the younger ones are also as usual I hope this young master can understand me a lot!"

  Another burly man with sharper eyes saw that Reinhardt was holding an unusual soul spar card. Guessing that Reinhardt's identity was definitely not ordinary, he immediately stopped his companions and said in a calmer tone.

   "How can you be so rude to this young master, our venue is specially opened for people like this young master, why can't you enter?"

  Just when Thiago saw that Reinhardt was a little angry and wanted to speak, a man in purple and black with a light leather armor came up not far away.

   Seeing the person coming, the two big men immediately bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Viscount!"

The visitor sent the two guys away with a wave of his hand, then turned around and smiled at Reinhardt, bowed and said humbly, "Your official Lacuna has seen the Duke! I didn't know that the Lord was coming, please forgive me!" "

  Lakuna saw that Reinhardt didn't respond, so he couldn't help raising his head and asked, "Sir, haven't you forgotten? I once had a relationship with Sir in the temple."

   It was only when he said this that Reinhard remembered that this person looked so familiar, and he had indeed met him once when he was officially awarded the first-class duke in the temple.

  So Reinhardt said, "That's right, we've seen it before. You are the Lord Lacuna standing in the corner smiling and winking at me."

  Hiding in the corner, still blinking?

   When Reinhardt said that, Lacuna was a little embarrassed and said, "Uh, my lord, the status of a lowly official is low, so..."

  Hearing this, Thiago also understood that he was just a low-level official in his feelings, so he said, "Viscount Lacuna, please bring your lord in."

   Hearing Thiago speak, Lacuna noticed that there was a soldier in northern standard armor beside Reinhardt, and asked suspiciously, "Uh... this is?"

   "Oh. He is Thiago, the administrative envoy of my Longhui Province."

It turned out to be the local chief executive, no wonder his tone was so loud. Lacuna secretly paid attention to Tiago. For this kind of local officials, Lacuna knew that he wanted to please him. If so, this kind of person is most needed.

   After looking around, he found that this person was very familiar, so he asked, "Master Thiago, have you met Your Excellency before? I feel that Your Excellency is very familiar!"

  Because Tiago had offended many people before and was sent to the north, this matter was not honorable, so when asked by Lacuna, his face suddenly became a little unnatural, he snorted, and stopped talking to him.

Seeing this, Reinhard knew that Thiago definitely didn't want to mention the fact that he was an official in the imperial capital before, so he pulled Lacuna and smiled, "Haha, I said Lacuna, you see me familiar, see Tiago You look familiar, you are very suspected of flattering."

   Judging from his words and deeds just now, Reinhardt judged that this Lacuna must be an important person in the slave market. Although the official is not big, it is often this kind of small official who controls some small privileges.

  Nowadays, the north needs a lot of manpower, and such officials who are slave owners still need to make friends.

Looking at Tiago who was still calm, Reinhardt came over, pulled off the corner of his clothes, and said softly, "Tiago, have you forgotten, what is the purpose of our trip here? This person seems to be a figure in the slave market, and you still care about what you are doing with those old things! I will leave the matter of buying slaves to you in the future."

  As soon as Reinhardt said it, Thiago also came to his senses immediately. Now is really not the time to care about those things, not to mention that Lacuna is just talking casually, what is he so sensitive about.

Thinking of this, Thiago immediately adjusted his mentality, walked forward with a smile on his face and put his arms around Lacuna's shoulders, and said, "Haha, I thought I was the only one who could flatter me. I'm even better at it. To be honest, I think adults are very familiar, and I think we might have been good friends before, don't you think?"

   "Oh?! Master Thiago said yes, what he said is true, hahaha! You see, the officer is really playing tricks in front of you, just laugh at me!"

Seeing that Reinhardt and Tiago are so affectionate towards him, Lacuna is overjoyed. Today, he is lucky. Who is Reinhardt? He is the most popular minister around His Majesty, Your Majesty sworn brother. Hey! This time it can be developed...

  …

  Walking into the venue, Reinhardt found that the place was already full of people, and on the big stage in the center of the venue, a middle-aged man dressed coquettishly was talking endlessly about the slaves who were about to appear.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, the alien races from the Heidel Plain in the south are going to appear now, all of them are women, and they will bring beautiful music to your life, everyone cheers. "

  As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered enthusiastically. The curtain behind the stage was pulled up, and a group of singers in tattered clothes with hinges locked came out slowly.

  These people looked similar to the human family. When they reached the middle of the stage, they were forced to start singing under the dominance of a person behind them.

   "My lord, let's go to the box." Lacuna bent down and led Reinhardt into the side corridor.

  The voices of these women are good, but Reinhardt is not interested. If you want these races who can only compose and sing, what can they do in the north...

  Although Reinhard sympathizes with their situation, Reinhard knows that this world is not a world full of sympathy.

  When I and a bunch of friends fell into the slums, who pity them? Where is the sympathy?

  Hundreds of people starve to death in the slums every day, and hundreds of people join the slums every day. Reinhardt is alive because of his own efforts, not pity!

  Thinking of the past, Reinhard couldn't help feeling a little angry, and hurriedly calmed down his anger before realizing that he had entered the box.

  The private box was actually at the highest point of the venue, and there were chairs made of high-grade animal skins and a table carved with fine nanmu.

There are exquisite crystal wine glasses on the table, and one of them contains aged fruit wine. Reinhardt looked at the transparent floor-to-ceiling crystal barrier in front of him. There are four scenes, one of which is the entrance of the venue. Seeing this, Reinhardt turned around and asked, "Lakuna, I'm afraid your status in this slave market is not low?"

"Uh... my lord, this official is the person in charge of this venue, and this is also the promotion of some people in the market, so I have such a little right..." Lacuna is quite satisfied with his status, like his viscount His identity is everywhere in the capital, but not every viscount can be as handsome as him.

  Reinhardt listened indifferently, and continued, "Tiago, do you know that imperial officials participate in the operation for the purpose of expanding private property, how should we deal with it?"

  Tiago was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses, and replied, "My lord, as far as I know, he should be punished according to the law!"

Hearing Reinhardt and Thiago singing together, Lacuna turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said in frustration, "Wow...my lord, it's the big guys in the market who pushed the little ones to the foreground, actually There is no market dividend for the small ones!"

  Reinhard didn’t rush to call Lacuna, but instead stepped forward and whispered angrily, “Lacuna, your acting skills are too bad. Get out of here.”

  Lakuna knelt on the ground, "My lord, isn't this a routine for us, we have to pretend."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Thiago, his eyes clearly said, if you weren't there, I wouldn't need to put on a show.
