A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

"Looking for death!" The galaxy surged under the cloak, and the figure who planned in reality gradually faded away. She merged with the dream and smashed towards the girl's consciousness with countless brilliant stars.

The brilliance of the dream bridge is like a fleeting image, and countless memory bubbles burst suddenly.

"Buzz!"

Cloris felt like a bell was ringing in her brain, and the relevant memories she was about to spy on were all dissipated under this blow.

The girl's nasal passages and ear canals were bleeding.

"Miss Ke?"

"Cloris!"

A call for concern from the Law Enforcer, Brito, and Naina rings out.

"I'm fine..." Cloris waved her hand, "It's just that this demon's memory is a bit sad."

Not only is it hurtful, the authority related to the dream of the other party is far above her.At that moment before, the girl felt that what she was facing was not a simple fragment of consciousness, but a complete individual!

"Turn yourself into a dream?"

Cloris rubbed the center of her brows. She had already planned to retreat, but now, the strong desire for revenge has filled every corner of her thoughts, and she has a plan in her heart.Gradually, she brought up a sweet smile, looked at the dark sky, her lips parted silently: "You will pay the price, mouse."

"Interesting, I've never seen such a crazy kid in my life!" Through the screen of the Milky Way Atlas, the planner had already noticed Cloris' gaze. "Three-legged cat dreamer, do you want to play with me..." The deep Milky Way solidified and was dyed in a crimson fury, "I just have a slave contract vacant here, let you try it! "

397. Team Planning

The nature of the accident on the Far Traveler was changed from "accident" to "evil spirit".This is not uncommon in the lower realms either. The closer to the abyss, the more frequent the activities of these evil creatures, and their motive for harming living beings is also very simple - human beings are their food.

Only Cloris and Brito know that the real mastermind is still behind the scenes.

Inside the hotel, the Big Bear Expedition Team sat on the floor.

"I believe that the little girl is sure to defeat the mastermind behind the scenes," the thin old Mirmo said solemnly, "but how much damage will a hidden killer bring to our team?"

"I don't care if the killer appeared because of the little girl, I only know that he killed Luka," the lizardman said while pressing his saber, "and the tradition of our tribe is—blood for blood!"

Brito said: "Mirmo, I understand your difficulties, but you also have to believe that I will not do things that I am not sure of."

The old man smiled wryly and said, "What reasons can I have? I'm too old to retire, and I might die of illness on the road one day. I'm just thinking about young people like Yati and Bophia."

"..." Bophia clenched her fists and stared at Cloris. She was not afraid of danger, but she didn't want to face the disaster for such an arrogant young lady.

"Are you still hating me, Miss Bophia?" Cloris smiled, "If so, I apologize to you."

"Huh?" Bophia didn't expect why the eldest lady suddenly changed her temper.

"Are you wondering why an arrogant master suddenly became so sincere?"

"why?"

"Because I have something to ask for from others," Cloris smiled, "Of course I have to treat you better, don't I?"

"you!"

Yati pressed Bophia's hand to calm her emotions, and at the same time looked at the girl: "This means that Miss Ke agrees that we are a team member, right?"

"Where do we need her approval? When we don't need us, we are arrogant, but when we are needed, we come with a warm face..."

"You are very self-cultivated, Miss Bophia," Cloris changed the subject after praising her, "but if I were as naive as you, I would have been eaten to the bone a long time ago."

"I understand, Miss Ke," Yati said, "but whether it's helping you get rid of trouble, or avenging Luca, we must have a perfect plan... As you said, all the coincidences that happen are behind the scenes Under control, then how can he accurately control every coincidence?"

"Fate, I suspect that he has the characteristics of fate," Cloris said, "I think of a skill, [Fate Gear], which can guide the collision of countless possibilities and interweave inevitable results, but..."

This has strict requirements for chimeras. To make each event happen, one must have a sufficient understanding of the inevitable conditions that lead to the event.

In short, it is necessary to collect a huge amount of information, otherwise, it is easy to make errors due to unknown information.

Wolsey was able to master this skill thanks to the assistance of [Deputy Brain] and [Super Calculator]. Even so, she still couldn't independently create such a complicated situation.

Yati put forward his own opinion: "Does this mean that the enemy has skills or mysterious items that can detect the whole situation, including our current dialogue, and is also under his watch?"

Everyone subconsciously looked out of the window. In the dark sky, the water curtain from the Sea of ​​Floating Stars enveloped the Broken Cave, and there were dim stars flickering.

"I can't rule out this possibility, but it certainly won't be all-round without blind spots," Cloris said, drawing the curtains with a thread, "Also, every time he plots, he must go through detailed preparations. If we go to the ruins, he will At least half of this ability is abolished."

"why would you say so?"

"Because the demon, if it is really omnipotent, why send the demon to take action instead of creating another accident?" Cloris explained, "This shows that he can't control events or circumstances that he knows nothing about."

If it really is [Gear of Destiny], because of Wolsey, Cloris still has a certain understanding.However, there are also local differences in the same skills. At least, Wolsey's [Supercomputing] can quantify the objective environment numerically and make predictions based on probabilities, but the goblins don't have the ability to grasp the overall situation of the people behind the scenes.

"He needs certainty, but the ruins are full of variables." Ati immediately made an analysis based on Cloris' explanation.

"Yes, variable..." Cloris was also thinking, if she hadn't appeared at the scene of the explosion that day and let the people behind the scenes take away what he wanted, wouldn't there be no troubles today?

The girl added: "Right now, we can confirm that his characteristics are fate, dreams, controlling demons, and the ability to collect information."

"But these characteristics may also be just a subset of one or two high-level skills," Mirmo said. "We haven't even seen his shadow so far, which shows that his concealment skills are also popular."

"Turn your body into a dream," Cloris said.

"what?"

"He can transform into a dream with his body, blur the boundary between reality and illusion, and shuttle between the two worlds at the same time," Cloris emphasized, "This is not the separation of the soul, you can barely understand it as the soul of the body, but Remember, the incarnated dreamer is not as fragile as the disembodied soul."

"Damn it, what kind of damned feature is this!" Mirmo's head grew big.

"Then the attack on the soul..."

"Equally effective." Cloris gave an affirmative answer.

"Such a weird guy, are you really sure to get rid of him?" Bophia asked worriedly.

"As long as he dares to appear in front of me, I'm sure," Cloris said calmly, "I'll just take some risks."

"It's a pity that Luka is gone. His [Evil Pupil] can leave a mark on the marked point to detect the surrounding environment. At the same time, it can also see through the fog and detect danger in advance." Brito sighed again.

Cloris said: "Although not as good as him, I will try to detect danger as much as possible."

The lizard man Waylon questioned, "Are you sure?"

"It's okay, Miss Ke, the one-horned lizard has a keen sense of smell and temperature perception." Yati worried about the girl's bravado, "He will become our new scout, and we have cooperation with other expedition groups, so there will be no shortage of manpower. "

Bophia recorded the conversations of everyone, and listed the props needed on the paper: "Ati needs to be equipped with a blazing sun or a light-cleaning dagger, and we also need to buy a set of smoke throwers to block prying eyes, and mysterious items for spiritual defense. It's very expensive, and you can buy blessing charms at the Star Church after arriving at the front line of the brave. Considering that you have to face the hostility of 'Mr.

After finishing speaking, the woman turned her vague gaze to Cloris.

The corner of the girl's mouth twitched slightly, she squinted her eyes, and forced a smile: "Do you think I will expect you to pay? Do what you should do, poor ghost!"

398. Adam Lawrence

People always have unspeakable desires. They are well-dressed and dignified in public, and when they are surrounded by no one, they will cancel the secular constraints, take off their moral and ethical underwear, and have a frank carnival.

In his seven-year working career, Adam Lawrence has seen too many wild bipedal beasts and atrocities in the Overseas Floating Stars. Those explorers who behaved well in Gurringt Court will also turn into unruly creatures when they reach the boundary beyond the law. Lustful, greedy, bloodthirsty beasts.

In the final analysis, in the eyes of these guys, the unprotected weak, backward natives, and poor untouchables have been deprived of their qualifications to be human, and "non-human" species are only worthy of being enslaved, watched, abused, and sent to the cannery.

When he first came out of the ancient spirit court, these tragedies once made Adam Lawrence cynical, and when he realized that the ancient spirit court in this dark forest was the exception, he felt even more absurd.Even fourteen hours of day and night working in a factory is a dream job for many outsiders.

Regarding the atrocities committed by the outside world, he once reported and complained to the guild. However, the Explorers guild would not enforce the law against common cases of flooding, and the subjects outside would not be sheltered by the Gringing Court authorities. Over time, Adam Lawrence gradually got used to this In the world of the world, feel at ease to do the column report of the Explorer's Daily, omitting those tragedies and slave trade that are not important to the audience, and focus on the investigation and interview of the explorer's land.

But three days ago, Adam Lawrence eavesdropped on a ranger's conversation with a "suspicious" girl through his mysterious ability, and he stumbled upon a major case worth reporting—

According to the explorer, or ranger Seke, he accepted the commission to rescue the girl abducted by the slave trader, not only that, but he also planned to break the shackles of the slaves, and take them out of the domestication camp where the foul-smelling blood flowed. liberation!

Those profiteers didn't want to harm the natives, but they also extended their hands to the citizens of the Floating Star Sea, cheated them with labor contracts, and transported them to other airspaces to be sold as slaves.

The citizens of Floating Star Sea except Gu Lingting do not have the mark of Tianshu, but Gu Lingting, as the leader of the states, has the responsibility to protect the peace of the airspace.

This recalled Adam Lawrence's sense of justice, and made his blood boil again. He wanted to investigate and report this matter, and wrote a big book in the Explorer's Daily. Those shameful slave traders will not be tolerated!

Therefore, he temporarily changed his itinerary and entered the town of Eraka earlier, and had been waiting for three days.

Eraka Town is located in the upper level of Hongye, the largest slave domestication base on the Muye Plateau, and also has a "developed" entertainment industry. Going to the front line of the brave is the only nearby place for Hong Ye.

There are more than 3000 permanent residents in the town, and the number of domesticated and waiting to be domesticated slaves is maintained at more than [-] all year round.All the well-paid jobs belong to more than [-] outsiders. Local residents can only do the cheapest labor, unloading goods at the docks, picking up waste in the streets and alleys, wielding pickaxes in the quarries on the surrounding floating islands, or using wooden carts and Small boats travel to and from the Wuhe River, transporting and disposing of the excrement of tens of thousands of people, which can be exchanged for food and clothing, but there are still at least one or two thousand local people who can only wander around and make a living by swindling and swindling.

The neck-length gray hair is scattered casually, and the immature round face and ordinary appearance make Adam Lawrence throw it into the sea of ​​people. He can't attract much attention. He is of medium build, with a camera hidden in the shoulder bag, and under the dark woolen coat is Slim shirt vest and trousers, the coat is lined with three rows of shelves, and there are packs of cigarettes, sugar, edible salt and other groceries in the pockets.

Adam Lawrence lives in a stone hotel in the shape of a square tower opposite the "Titan Slave Row". The first and second floors are pubs and restaurants, and the third, fourth, and fifth floors are guest rooms. The tallest building in town.

"Brother Beta." Walking out of the hotel, a coquettishly dressed young girl greeted Adam Lawrence. In the cold weather, there was a slave mark floating up under her collarbone, and her heavy makeup made it impossible to recognize her true face. Some people think that she may not be 20 years old, "haven't found a partner yet?"

Adam Lawrence took out a cigarette butt from his pocket, took out a match and lit it, he took a sip very briefly, and exhaled: "Isn't it, it's not easy to find a clean and honest woman, yesterday I’ve seen the batches of ‘Titan Slaves’, and they were either too expensive, or they weren’t domesticated well, hey, the hotels here are extremely expensive, how many days will the groceries I brought last?”

"Innocence..." The girl sighed faintly and said, "Can I have one?"

Apart from those prohibited drugs, cigarettes are the most worry-free thing. Living in this gloomy airspace, everyone needs cigarettes to decompress. Therefore, cigarettes are in short supply everywhere, and they can be used as currency in the barren night plateau. settlement.

Therefore, for ordinary people who want to buy slaves and go back to be wives, it is more affordable to bring a box of cigarettes than to bring cash—the price of cigarettes in Fuxinghai will at least double when the night falls on the plateau.

This was the identity that Adam Lawrence had faked for himself.

Adam Lawrence took a cigarette from the pack in his coat and handed it over.

"That's good." The girl was flattered and hurriedly waved her hands.

"Hey, what a shame, if you can take it, you can take it, and I will argue with a woman?" Adam Lawrence forcefully stuffed the cigarette into the girl's hand, and at the same time choked out his own cigarette butt, cautiously Put it in your pocket.

The girl was stunned, and Adam Lawrence lit a match: "Here." She just woke up like a dream, and put the cigarette on her lips.

"Fu—" the pressure subsided after a while, and the girl said, "I won't take your things for nothing. We will go to the toilet later, and I can let you free...but it's best to compress the time within 10 minutes."

"..." Adam Lawrence did not respond.

"I forgot, you want an innocent woman," the girl smiled sadly.

Adam Lawrence shook his head. He leaned against the wall and asked, "How's the business?"

"What can I do?" The girl shook her head, "It's enough to earn five star dollars a week without being hungry or beaten by the master, so what if it's good?" Colleagues, "Master's rewards can't make up for the aging and damage of the body. The more flattering we are, the faster our value will be consumed. If we are well maintained, the master will sell us to bachelors who lack women after we are old and fading. Don’t even want those people, hehe…”

Although the girl was smiling, there was a flash of fear in her eyes.

"You sound educated," said Adam Lawrence. "Educated?"

"Education of all kinds."

"..."

"Well, I have studied in a church school for several years, I can read and write, I can calculate accounts, I can be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, and I can also please people in bed," the girl said in a half-joking tone, "Consider buying me? I am about 19 years old this year, and the price/performance ratio is not bad. After I buy it back, I can help you earn money for at least ten years.”

"How much are you worth?" Adam Lawrence took out the half of the cigarette butt again, pinched it firmly in his fingers, and did not ignite it.

"One thousand...but I'm sure I can tell myself to eight hundred star dollars." The girl pressed against the wall tightly, her whole body tensed.

"For the same price, 'Titan Slavery' can buy at least four beautiful women like you," Adam Lawrence said in a deep voice, hiding his emotions, "I need a strong wife who can do farm work to help take care of the house farms and mills, so . . . I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter," the girl smiled nonchalantly, "If it's just like this, you can wait for me to get old and ugly, and then sell me at a price of [-] cents per catty, it will be very cheap."

She still had some expectations, after all these days, the man in front of her really treated her as a human being, and she could feel the sympathy and pity from him.

It's just that hope is always dashed.

Adam Lawrence stared at the unopened Titan Slave Row opposite, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Beta, come get the 'Snake Kiss'!" A guest from the hotel interrupted their conversation.

"One star and fifteen cents," Adam Lawrence immediately took out the goods from his coat, took the money, and eagerly took off his windproof wide-brimmed round hat and put it on his chest to greet him, "Thank you for your patronage, thank you for your patronage, I wish you Good luck with the bet!"

He remembered that the buyer was a mercenary who came to the town of Ekara for entertainment, and had already lost at the gambling table in the tavern for three days.

"Hmph." The mercenary didn't speak, took the cigarette and returned to the hotel.

"Floating Star Sea, it's very close to here," the girl fell into memory with a cigarette between her fingers, and the cigarette butt burned on her upturned little finger. She let out a yah, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt on the ground, put it between her lips again, and said with a slight smile, " Maybe... we are still fellow villagers?"

"Then why...?"

"I was originally introduced to work in Floating Star Sea, but the intermediary is a slave trader," the girl said, "It's as simple as that."

"How long have you been here?" Adam Lawrence subconsciously handed over a cigarette.

"Bang!" Gunshots sounded from the hotel.

Not long after, the mercenary who bought cigarettes was carried out with a bullet hole in his head.

"Two years," the girl said, taking the cigarette, not looking at the hapless man under the "death roulette", but staring at the fire sent by Adam Lawrence, "You don't want to buy me but you are so generous, you want to know something?"

"You think too much."

"Yeah, I thought too much," the girl took the fire and said apologetically, "Don't mind."

"You..." Adam Lawrence still couldn't help asking, "Is this kind of experience common to you?"
