The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"Speaking of which, this is my first time entering a formal slave market openly."

The half-elf girl thought about the previous times she entered the slave market. She had forgotten whether she entered the black market or the serious market.

In short, the current slave market looks quite neat. There are some slave traders and slaves in the surrounding big shops and on the streets.

Due to the influence of imperial policies, although the appearance of these slaves is very different, their clothes are all neat and their bodies appear to be washed frequently.

"Master, where can we buy it?"

Lorenno asked Ben on the side. Ben, who had already done research on the market here, glanced at her and said:

"Go to the store opened by the Temple of Fortune. Although the slaves there are expensive, they are expensive for a reason. There are all kinds of slaves."

The splendor of the Temple of Wealth is not only built on formal channels. As an absolutely neutral goddess, Wojin's church is also involved in the black market, loan sharking and other transactions that cannot be put on the table.

Although the Waking Church on the stage seems to disdain the use of rumors, monopoly, hiring bandits and other means to manipulate trade activities, it criticizes these methods.

But privately, the church requires pastors to use these methods in the most secretive way, so that no one will suspect that these actions are related to the church.

As for the slave trade, which can be said to be a gray trade method on the continent of Noir, they are naturally involved in it, and they don't have to be too sneaky like some black trades -

As long as he can ensure that his slaves are not trafficked civilians, or at least ensure that he "does not know about it".

As mentioned before, although the Church of the Good Three Gods has been promoting the abolition of slavery, it has been difficult to advance, and the empire still maintains this system, neither resisting nor agreeing.

However, in Lorenno's view, the empire's approach is actually supportive in a sense. After all, Her Majesty the Queen also likes to choose her own shadow guards among slaves. At the same time, the [authority] of the priesthood means oppression.

All in all, the Temple of Wealth can be said to be the leader in the slave trade. You can buy high-quality slaves in their shops, and there are all kinds of slaves.

If this slave shop doesn't exist, as long as they dare to spend a lot of money, they can use high-level portals to bring people over from very far away.

After considering all aspects, I decided to buy it from the Temple of Wealth, where there were more tricks. If possible, she would still like to train a snake maid to serve her.

Neither Elsa nor Sarao wanted their own maids. Sara preferred to be alone. Elsa herself could summon some ice fairies to play with her, so there was no need for them.

Connie, on the other hand, wants a magic apprentice with magic qualifications, and will consider releasing her from slavery in the future.

Tite wanted the type that was difficult to tame in order to satisfy her inner sadism and desire to conquer. No matter how gentle she was in front of Lorenno, she was always a neutral and evil black dragon, and she was also in need in terms of nature.

Lorenno didn't care about buying a maid. She already had Vita. Although Vita, the exclusive maid, often followed Connie, it was because the half-elf girl really didn't need help with anything.

Approaching the most prosperous store in the slave market, Lorenno saw many slaves who were dressed coolly and fixed in the window by magic. They were both male and female. They were basically pretty good-looking, with smiles on their faces and full eyes. It's panic and despair.

Oh, but there are also some expressions that are different from other slaves. When they are seen, their faces turn crimson, their blood flow speeds up, and they become excited.

Just entering the door of the store, a very well-dressed businesswoman came out from inside

When she walked out, wearing heavy makeup, she glanced at Lorenno and Ben's clothes calmly, and immediately smiled, her makeup almost falling off:

"Two guests, welcome to our store, what are your needs?

We can directly customize slaves here, ensuring your satisfaction~. "

After hearing this, Lorenno couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and padded his wallet, which looked like it was going to shrink again.

The two were welcomed into the living room. After sitting down, Ben took a sip of tea and said:

“First of all, the slaves I want are all beautiful women from most human perspectives.

Then customize three, one is an obedient, weak, and easy-to-control snake man; one is unyielding, very proud, and has not yet been tamed, preferably a noble if possible; one has magic qualifications, a strong desire to learn, high intelligence, and wants to escape Slave.

The rest... fifteen more slaves who have been trained as maids, and she and I will personally select them. "

Ben thought about it and said his custom-made request. The businesswoman's eyes lit up. Knowing that a big order was coming, she smiled and bowed and left, and first checked at Dovlai to see if there was any stock.

Soon she walked out with a smile and explained to Ben that the three customized slaves she needed were still too high and she might have to wait for a while to bring them over.

In response, the snake mage waved his hand and said that money and time were not a problem, completely ignoring Lorenno who pouted behind him——

It’s not like I paid for it, so of course I have to spend it lavishly!

"Are you two going to select the fifteen maids first, or should you wait for the other three to be shipped over first?"

The businesswoman showed a sincere smile. Ben nodded slightly and was led deeper by her, and Lorenno also followed.

Opening the curtain, Lorenno saw an area similar to a prison. Each slave was crowded into a small room with a bed and nothing else.

If you want to relieve yourself, you will be taken to the toilet by the guards. Anyway, Lorenno seems that there is not much difference between slaves and prisoners.

As for these slaves, there are indeed many beautiful people, and there are many races, including half-elves, humans, halflings, and even elves, dryads and goblins in bottles.

Follow the merchant all the way to the area where the wooden sign says maid. The slaves here generally look more haggard. Fear flashes in their eyes when they see the businesswoman. They try their best to smile when they see Lorenno and Ben. Desperately hoping to be bought back.

Lorenno chose from left to right without making a decision, but Ben indifferently selected the fifteen maids. His snake eyes kept moving left and right to scan these servants, and his fingers quickly picked the first one.

It was a fox lycanthrope with a furry tail and ears similar to Elsa, but overall it was human.

Chapter 845 Maid Vita and her little maids

The slave's face was full of surprise when he was clicked. After being released, he immediately ran to Ben and saluted hastily. Ben ignored her and continued to select.

Half-elves, elves, lycanthropes, humans, humans, humans…

Only four demihumans were chosen, and the remaining eleven were all chosen as human slaves. There was no way, the population of these demihuman races was not as large as that of humans, and Dovrai only had such a small amount of stock.

After counting the quantity and settling the payment and deposit, the merchant happily put away the money and assured the two of them that three customized slaves would be delivered soon.

Ben repeatedly reminded the slaves that they must go through normal channels. After receiving the life experience information, slave certificates and control rights of the slaves he bought, he waved slightly and broke some of the small things left on them by the Wealth Church.

Then, under the embarrassed gaze of the businessman, the short snake lady took out a contract and placed it in front of 15 people, asking them all to sign their names on it one after another.

When they were signing their names, some of their names suddenly burned and then turned into other characters. The girl who wrote the name couldn't help but take a few steps back, with a look of fear on her face. The same was true for the others.

After the fifteen people signed the contract, they suddenly felt pain on their bodies, and small ring-shaped snake marks appeared at the locations where the pain was felt.

With his fingers lightly tapping on the sheepskin scroll, Ben put away the scroll and said to the merchant:

"Then please bring those three slaves over quickly."

"of course."

The businesswoman bowed slightly, and her attitude became more cautious and respectful when facing him. She could tell that it was some kind of contract involving the soul, and that the person in front of her might be an extremely powerful mage.

The fifteen selected slaves also have joys and sorrows. They are happy that as slaves of mages and even nobles, they generally do not have to worry about food and drink, and they can ensure their "respect".

What worries me is that I seem to have signed some terrible contract, and I don’t know if my soul will be unable to break free from the bondage in the future...

"Don't worry, it's just to prevent you from doing something bad. As long as you don't betray me, nothing will happen to the contract."

Just when these slaves were falling into doubt, the cloaked girl who had been following Ben suddenly spoke. For some reason, when they heard her voice, the girls gradually became relaxed.

Upon seeing this, Ben knocked on the table hard to cheer up the slaves, pulled the air casually, pulled out some maid uniforms for them to change into, and then took them back home with Lorenno.

Entering the courtyard, the maids are a bit nice

Looking around in surprise, this place was very different from the mage's house they imagined. They originally thought it would be very spooky, but they didn't expect it to be such an... ordinary and beautiful house.

"Okay, this is where you will work from today on."

Back home, Ben and Lorenno took off their outer robes, revealing their charming faces. The fifteen girls, whose minds were not very strong due to their slave life, were immediately charmed when they saw their faces.

They didn't recover until Ben spoke, and at the same time they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the two of them again.

"Vita!

Lorenno shouted, and the construct girl quickly appeared in front of 15 people. Lorenno pointed at the maids who had just arrived home and said:

"Leave them to you, tell them some necessary things, and then slowly teach them what to do."

"clear."

Vita bowed slightly and said to them expressionlessly: "I am the head maid Vita, follow me."

After that, no matter what they thought, they turned around and left. The slaves who had just become maids quickly followed and soon came to a corner.

Vita opened the four doors casually. There were four beds and four tables and cabinets in each room. Daily necessities such as quilts and toiletries were also placed on the beds and table cabinets.

This...couldn't this be where they will live in the future? ?

The fifteen maids stared wide-eyed, feeling unbelievable that they suddenly came from hell to the human world.

Vita looked at their expressions and immediately analyzed their mental states, and warned the maids who were standing neatly at the door:

"This is where you will live from now on. Don't be surprised. Remember what I say next. You are not serving ordinary people. If you offend anyone in this house, your souls may be in pain forever. "

Seeing the frightened expressions on the faces of several people, Vita nodded slightly: "First of all, you have to know who you are serving. The owner of this house is also your owner. Her name is Lorenno Imperialis. ——”

"Second Princess!?"

When they heard this name, the expressions of about ten people suddenly changed, and one person shouted out directly.

Vita saw someone interrupting her words. After they were surprised, in order to ensure the speed of her explanation, she raised a finger and added a command:

"Now add a command. Don't make any sound when I explain. If something happens, just raise your hands. Do you understand?"

Vita's expressionless face and tone of voice immediately cooled down the excitement of the maids who were originally excited when they found out that they were going to serve His Highness Lorenno.

The constructed girl continued to tell several people about the composition and appearance of the members in the courtyard, and told the newly arrived maids what they should pay attention to.

The ones who are easier to get along with are Connie, Shaluo and Lorenno. They will treat slaves as ordinary people. As long as they don't deliberately make them angry, they generally won't do anything to the maids.

Elsa is the one who is easy to get along with on the surface. Except for a few people who need care, such as Lorenno, her adoptive mother in this life, and members related to Lorenno, she treats everyone else "equally".

The ones who are more difficult to get along with are Ben and Tite, but they will not kill people at will.

Now that these two have passed the age of casual killing, they have reached the "evil fun" stage, and they prefer to do some pranks or more difficult tasks to punish the maids.

"But you don't have to worry too much. These two bad guys should have their own maids to serve you. You will be safer here - as long as the dedicated maids arrive."

Vita explained the situation to the maids who were in a daze. They couldn't believe that all the big shots lived in the courtyard.

God's Favored One (Elsa's announcement), black dragon, princess, royal daughter, legendary mage, tree spirit, and the head maid in front of her...

Are they considered lucky to be able to work here?

Before they could figure it out, Vita suddenly grabbed the table to bring everyone back to their senses, and said the last reminder:

"Besides, here's a reminder... Unless a certain owner in the courtyard needs it, don't try to seduce them in some way, because your behavior may anger them."

"I repeat, you are not serving ordinary people. If you offend anyone in this house, your souls may be in pain forever!"

Chapter 846: Straight Talk

Lorenno didn't care about the current situation of the newly purchased maids. Anyway, he had given full authority to his mother and master, not to mention that Vita was still there.

She is currently thinking about how to quietly go to the deep sea, follow the mermaid or Naga to the so-called treasure house, and find the divine power hidden in it.

After thinking about it, Lorenno finally decided to be direct, saying that he already knew about the treasure house, and then asked to go in and pick out a treasure.

Using a legendary staff like the Power of the Four Seas in exchange for the last piece of the puzzle on her path to becoming a god, thinking about it, she had made a lot of money.

It's a pity that there is no way to know the location of the treasure house from them, otherwise Lorenno can find the treasure by himself and get more treasures by then.

On the day of the transaction, Lorenno came to the predetermined location and waited silently for two people.

Group of people, and soon the two princesses appeared in the half-elf girl's field of vision, holding two long strips of objects wrapped in white cloth, which should be the legendary magic they brought.

After saluting the two of them, Lorenno sat down again and said, "So, you two have found the right staff for me?"

"Yes, Your Highness Lorenno, I can guarantee that the staffs produced by our mermaid tribe are definitely better than those produced by the Naga tribe."

"Ha, a group of guys came out of nowhere and still want to rob me? Your Highness Lorenno, ours must be better!"

The mermaid princess and the naga princess glared at each other, and Lorenno heard some gossip from Connie and her mother.

The mermaid kingdom probably appeared shortly after the destruction of the Naga dynasty. The mermaid tribe seems not to be a native species of the local area, but to Fulun who came from other main material universes. It seems that they escaped due to certain reasons.

They came at just the right time. A few hundred years later in the evening, the Naga tribe would have finished recuperating, and a few hundred years ago in the morning, the seabed was still being ruled by Nagas.

The fleeing mermaids had a good time limit. After arriving here, Naga's broken kingdom was unable to fight the mermaids again, so the two sides reached a consensus to maintain a peaceful state and wait until they were able to start a war before breaking out.

However, the two sides have maintained a state of peace for a long time. Thousands of years have passed and the bottom layer has begun to merge. Nagas with mermaid characteristics and mermaids with Naga characteristics have gradually appeared.

This situation even exists in the case of the royal family and the nobility, and the children born by both parties do not have deformities or extra shortcomings, but instead improve on the advantages of the main race.

Originally, if things continued like this, the two races might completely integrate. However, for some unknown reason, the two royal families suddenly fell out.

Under the continuous flames of war, the two races became somewhat hostile to each other. Mermaids with Naga characteristics or Nagas with mermaid characteristics divided camps based on their main characteristics.

In the past, pure-bloods were hostile to mixed-bloods, but now everyone basically has the characteristics of both races, and the hostility is no longer so strong.

When the main body of society is of mixed race, even the royal family needs to stay out of the way a little.

All in all, it was probably during that honeymoon period that the mermaid royal family learned about the power of the four seas.
