Law of the Devil

Chapter 174 [Small Machine Spirits] (I)

Sandiago is a 13-year-old boy. He has a typical surname of the people in the southern coastal areas of the mainland. However, because he is a small machine spirit, people who know him are called "Sandy" by relatives. Of course, those who hate him will also call him "Sandy Little Liar".

Sandy, who was born in the slums of the Imperial City, certainly cannot have the money to ask the teachers to receive orthodox education as the children of wealthy families. At the age of thirteen, he only studied with the theological teacher for half a year in the religious temple established in the temple. He was able to learn to write and calculate. In the surrounding children, he was smart. At least he could use the common language of the mainland to correct it. Write your own name, and you can also completely recite the first book of The Temple of God, Genesis Genesis.

Unfortunately, he could not continue to study in the temple religion three months ago. Because the religious school claims to let the children of the poor family receive some education "free of charge", this kind of free is a price. All children who study in a religious institution must serve the temple for three years free of charge after adulthood, and some directly become clergymen who are not allowed to marry and have children for the rest of their lives.

As a typical southerner, Sandy's parents don't want to break their incense, and Sandy himself has no interest in becoming a clergyman. At the age of thirteen, he has already had a bit of awkward things about men and women. He also often squats on the wall and peek at Ellie from the next door.

Perhaps after two months, he will be literate, and he can do some simple writing and calculations. He can be an apprentice in the nearby grocery store, or an apprentice who follows the old tailor at the street.

But these are all things in the future. Now, Sandy has a good way to make money.

Every day he turns around in the slave market. He is a real little snake. His brother is a little punk of this film, but unfortunately last year because he stole a purse from a noble housekeeper. The person who was taken by the police station grabbed it and then distributed it to a mine in the northwest to work as a laborer.

Unlike his brother, Sandy is not a thief and he will not do bad things. But he can bring back a few corners from the slave market every day.

The emperor's slave market has gathered tourists from all over the country. Many of the foreigners from all over the mainland are coming to the slave market in the capital for the first time. They are unfamiliar and need a local snake to help them. Guide the way. Help them to bargain with the slave traders. Introduce some "rules" in the transaction.

Because of this situation, coupled with Sandy's own cleverness, his income is quite good. Almost every day, he can put a few copper horns in his pocket. Even if he encounters such a wealthy guy, Sandy will end up with a few words and say a few good words, and the income will be even more. Sandy’s biggest wish now is to save enough money to buy a pair of old leather boots. Next door, Ellie’s older brother’s brother served in the field. Often in front of these gangs to show off his boots in the army, so that these boys are very envious.

Sandy is not only clever, but more importantly, his eyes are very accurate. He can often tell at a glance which of the bustling crowds on the street are fat sheep. Which veteran.

Today, Sandy stood in the corner with her arms. After watching it for a long time, she finally found her goal:

There is a strange combination in the crowd. A man and a woman, but not like a couple, because the man's age seems too small, it seems that it is not much bigger than himself. The woman is in her twenties and is very beautiful. Even more beautiful than the next door, Ellie.

Although both of them were dressed in casual clothes, Sandy saw a few special things at a glance: the man’s eyes were watching, apparently the first time he came to the slave market, and his eyes seemed to be curious about everything around him. This is very important for Sandy. And that woman. It made Sandy even more curious: she was tall, her legs were long, and she seemed to be a warrior. Although this man and a woman walked together, but the woman seemed to be intentional or unintentional, she was always half a step behind the boy and seemed to dare to walk side by side with him. And in the crowd, the woman seems to always be subconsciously blocking others from approaching the boy, and seems to have maintained a protective posture.

It’s like a young man with a rich family with a beautiful female bodyguard.

Correct. That's right!

Sandy affirmed his own guess. Then he pulled his broken hat and squeezed it straight.

"Sir! Sir!"

Du Wei is looking around. He is really curious about the slave market. The slaves that were purchased in the previous shops were not handled by Du Wei, but by Mad. Today is his first time in the slave market, the civilized world of the past, and the term "slave" has almost become extinct in that world. He was watching, and he heard a scream from a slightly young voice.

A thin boy, as if muddy and agile, got out of the crowd and stood in front of himself. The boy looks very thin, just like the children of ordinary poor people. But what surprised Du Wei was that he was very clean and not as dirty as other children. This kid is pure and white, but his big eyes are very aura. The eyes are flexible and turn around. At first glance, it is the kind of little ghostly guy.

"Mr." Sandy easily said his own words, and did not forget the childish smile that was deliberately made on his face: "Sir, do you want to buy a slave?" I think you need someone like me."

If Lin Lin saw the meaning of this kid at a glance, with her experience in the rivers and lakes, how could she not know the intention of this little gangster? She was about to talk, and Du Wei had already had an interest in it: "Oh? You? What can you do for me?"

“I can do a lot of things for you, the most important thing is to save you a lot of trouble... I can save you a lot of time for people like you, time is very valuable. Look, there are so many here. People are coming to buy slaves. So many slave traders are selling slaves. You seem to be here for the first time? I can help you introduce the situation here! I am very familiar with everything here. Those slave traders, I also know: Which one is more kind, which one is more awkward, which one is more sinister, which one is the most reasonable, I know all. You see, is it useful for you?"

Seeing that Du Wei is smiling, it seems to be somewhat moving. Sandy has made more effort. He dared not let this eye of the hand see the money. He continued to add: "There are many people here, there are many thieves in the crowd, but there are I am, I can give you a lot of trouble in this area... You see..." Speaking of this, Sandy lowered his voice and sneaked his eyes to indicate a thin guy in the distance. Whispered: "Have you seen the person wearing gray clothes? He is a golden finger here, you should be careful not to get close to the guy, otherwise, this person will steal your wallet."

Du Wei stunned and smiled.

First impression, he likes this boy with a sly look.

"How do you know that I am an honorable person? I don't wear expensive clothes." Du Wei shook his head. "You may have made a mistake. I am just an ordinary person. Come and take a look. I don't need a guide."

"You don't have to bully me this little kid." Sandy continued to smile. He smiled very skillfully. Not much more revealed that the next four teeth were different from the children of other poor people. Sandy's teeth were white. He pays attention to brushing his teeth every day, and he pays great attention to his own instruments, because he knows that when he does his job, those bosses are like clean people.

"While the clothes you wear are not expensive, the craftsmanship of this cut is not something that ordinary tailors can make. I know, I almost became a tailor apprentice. My eyes will not be wrong... ...and the lady around you, oh, please forgive me for taking the liberty, such a beautiful lady, but she is so respectful to you, if she is not your wife, it is definitely yours. Your hair is very clean and your skin color is very good. At first glance, you are a person with identity... The way you walk is different from our poor people. It seems like the nobles living in the north of the city!"

Du Wei looked at the boy carefully and smiled: "You observe very carefully."

“Of course!” Sandy hurriedly said: “I can save you a lot of valuable time. I can be your guide here, even when you buy a slave, I can save you a lot of money! Of course In the end, you just have to enjoy me two copper horns so that I can buy a piece of dark bread.

Du Wei smiled and looked at Ruolin: "I like this kid, let him follow."
