Chapter 41 Night Watch
After groping for a short distance in the darkness with a red lantern, there was a courtyard at the end. If the place they just entered was East Street, then the scope of the compound has reached West Street.
The solemn brown courtyard door is closed, with a row of red lanterns hanging in front of it, white walls and black tiles, and the light and shadow are stark.
Wei Miao looked attentively and saw a human male standing next to the door, wearing gray clothes and carrying a knife at his waist. When they approached, he asked expressionlessly: "What do you want to buy?"
Wei Miao's eyes flashed and she said in a deep voice: "Pig-headed man."
The person opposite seemed a little surprised. He thought for a moment and said, "Out of stock."
It doesn't matter whether it's really out of stock or fake. This is just an introduction.
The vertical pupils on Wei Miao's forehead were about to move, and the reddish marks became increasingly bright, almost undetectable under the red light.
She quickly looked around with her peripheral vision and asked: "Which family has a well-trained pig-headed slave? We want to go and trade."
"Training is the business of each owner. We don't know." The man at the door said coldly.
"Then, take us to see other slaves who may be able to compete with a strong pig-headed man." Wei Miao continued.
The guard at the door in front of him looks very young, and the possibility of knowing about Conrad is greatly reduced.
If Conrad was really a slave, according to his age, he should have been taken away more than ten years ago.
She needs to meet someone higher up.
"Come in with me." The man glanced at them, then turned around and opened the door.
The door opened with a deep sound, echoing the faint sound of handcuffs inside.
When Wei Miao and the person in charge came in, they found that the defenses inside and outside the courtyard were completely at two levels, with one guard every five steps, patrolling and wandering, staring at them with falcon-like eyes.
There is an exquisite main building in the courtyard, and the rest are rows of stall-like stalls, which contain slaves of all kinds, mostly orcs and only a few humans.
They are wearing chain handcuffs and shackles, making it difficult to break free and restricting their movement, not to mention that there are people guarding them outside all day long.
Their eyes were lifeless.
The man in gray clothes led them to look at each other one by one. Wei Miao had a serious look on her face and followed him calmly through all the compartments before saying: "There is nothing I want."
Wei Miao said in a negotiating tone: "If I remember correctly, slaves can be customized after paying a certain deposit, right?"
Slave customization, with the support of the top management of the human tribe, the slave market can do this and develop it into a business .
It sounds shocking and makes the orcs gnash their teeth with hatred.
The man in gray looked surprised and looked at them up and down. These are two orcs, bunny-headed men who are recognized as weak, and they actually made a request for customized slaves!
He muttered: "This...I can't make the decision. Come with me, both of you."
He walked towards the exquisite main building, and an undetectable smile flashed across Wei Miao's face.
After winding their way around, they met the senior figures of the slave market in a guest room. On both sides stood guards with swords, their auras were cold, they were all fierce people who had seen blood.
The good news is that this senior executive looks quite old. He has gray hair on his temples and wrinkled skin. He is definitely over forty years old.
The old man sat steadily on a wooden chair engraved with blooming flowers, looking at them with contempt in his eyes.
"What kind of slave do you want to customize? We don't accept customized humans."
"Pig-headed cub, I wonder if you can do it?" Wei Miao smiled slightly.
The old man did not answer immediately, but thought about it: "It's not a small appetite. If you really want it, the waiting time is not short." "So, do you really have a way? It seems that this has happened before. "Slave?" After laying the groundwork for so long, Wei Miao finally got back on track with this sentence.
At the same time, the third eye on the forehead squirmed, the slit suddenly opened, and the bloody pupils were frightening!
In an instant, Wei Miao activated her vertical pupil power, and multiple golden ovals were stacked on the pupil, rotating with an inexplicable rhythm. Silently, everyone who saw this scene fell into an illusion unconsciously.
The surrounding guards were less affected, but the scene in front of them was slightly changed, making the bloody vertical pupils invisible in their eyes.
The main point of attack was directed at the old man, causing him to fall into a hypnotic state that could not be noticed by others.
The eye of fantasy is flexible and unpredictable.
In this case, Wei Miao was confident that he would answer his questions truthfully.
But the mental burden is not small. First, there were a large number of people, and second, it was quite labor-intensive to maintain the illusion without revealing anything.
Although the price of mental emptiness, exhaustion and other negative states was not paid by Wei Miao, she felt the same.
The feeling of moving at the spiritual level is very wonderful, and the perception is extended. This experience is like gaining strength in this world, which is very pleasant.
"Pig-headed cub?" the old man muttered and repeated, his eyes a little blurry, because he was recalling the past.
“The pig-headed people could not tolerate their tribesmen becoming slaves, and they came to the door many times to break out disputes. Therefore, there were no pig-headed slaves for a long time. I still remember that eighteen years ago, at that time, there were pig-headed slaves of all ages, both men and women. , whatever you want, Slave City can take it.”
"Who took the pig-headed cub away?" Wei Miao's voice was ethereal, and she was persuasive, trying to elicit the answer from the other party.
When it came to this issue, the old man's struggle suddenly became much more intense. Wei Miao actually couldn't control it despite the huge amount of mental exertion.
This matter is like a seed buried in the darkness. Wei Miao wants it to bloom and bear fruit, but the old man hopes it will never be born.
This is where the wills of Wei Miao and the old man meet.
The old man began to frown, but could not say anything.
"We can afford to wait. Remember to inform me if there is any news." Wei Miao made a decision immediately and stopped entangled. Her control over the Eye of Dreams was not enough to allow the old man to break through his defenses.
Those who hold high positions in the slave market are not soft persimmons.
The man in gray sent them outside the hospital. Wei Miao stepped onto the dark alley again, the lantern swinging in her hand, her face calm, and her third eye had been closed again.
She had expected the defeat in Lainu City. After all, the era involved is too long, and judging from the old man's attitude, there are still unknown secrets behind it.
When they reached the iron gate, the person in charge hung the red lantern on the door again, and the two of them walked into the bustling street with bright lights.
The person in charge looked at the beloved next to him carefully. It was impossible to guess her thoughts from her face, which was calm and deep.
She suddenly asked: "Is there an organization specializing in intelligence trading in Chen Qing?"
"This... indeed there is, but their whereabouts are elusive, and we may not be able to contact them." Responsible The man said seriously, "As far as I know, they have been taking root here for decades, and no one knows where their tentacles extend."
"Think of a way to find them."
< br>Wei Miao glimpsed a glimpse of this organization from the memory obtained by the gods. The "Night Watch" intelligence organization was formed by orcs and has roots in many places, specializing in exploring all kinds of secret information.
This is Wei Miao’s second path.
