Chapter 314 Rejection Again
The next morning, Herot came out of the room stretching his waist. The snow outside has stopped
and it is a rare sunny day in the freezing season.
"Master, good morning!" The slave stood by the door, holding the folded blanket in his hands.
"Here you go..." Helot took a deep breath of cool air, walked towards the dining hall, and asked the slave who followed him: "What's your name?"
The slave draped the blanket over his shoulders: "My name is York Red, master."
Helot strode forward, stretched out his hand to greet the watchman he met, and continued to ask the slave: "I obviously After giving you freedom, why do you still follow me?"
"I want to find my wife, and I want to live well."
Helot looked at York Red. According to his current physical condition, it would be difficult for him to survive this freezing season alone. If you wander around in Snow City, you will most likely be beaten up and sold to a slave merchant.
What will the next owner be like?
is an unknown quantity.
"Some sense." Helot continued walking and asked again: "Is your wife still alive?"
"I don't know!" York Red said frustratedly: "Our village I was attacked and she and I were separated. I was sold as a slave, and she should...should be another person's woman."
Helot mourned for York Red.
In northern Xinjiang, women are resources and can breed the next generation for the village, so that the village can remain strong.
"Why are you still looking for her? Can you give her a better life?"
"I..." York Hong didn't know how to answer, so she had to say: "I just want to see her again, know It’s good that she is alive.”
Helot said with a smile: “I will help you find her.”
York Hong asked in disbelief: “Really? Is there a way to find her? "
Hailot said confidently: "It's the freezing season, and most of the population in northern Xinjiang is concentrated around Snow City. After breakfast, I will take you to find that one. Slave merchant, ask who sold you to him. And I also know another merchant who does business with many northern Xinjiang villages.”
Just now, Helot was thinking about some excuse to find Usman and find out the source of the mechanical parts in his hands.
Now the excuse is in front of you.
"Thank you, Master. As long as I can see her, I will die immediately without regrets."
"If you follow me, there is a high probability that you will not survive this freezing season..."< br>
Helot suddenly stopped because a group of watchmen wearing exquisite fur coats stopped him: "Is this the Bonebreaker Mage?"
Herot replied: "It's me. Who are you? What's the matter?"
The other party saluted and replied: "We are the entourage of Master Panil Skovo. The master is sorry for not seeing him last night. You feel very sorry, so you sent us early to invite everyone to enjoy the morning together."
Helot did not reply first, but gave York Red a silver coin: "Go to the dining hall and buy them as you like. Something to eat.”
“Yes, Master!” York Red took the coin and ran to the dining hall.
Then Helot said to the captain of Panier's entourage: "I apologize to your young master. I have something important to do this morning, and I can't share breakfast with him.< br>
But I have time at noon. If your young master also has time at noon, we can have lunch together. "
The captain of the entourage did not expect that his young master's request would be rejected again, so his movements and expressions were no longer as polite as before. "Bonebreaker Mage, what can be more important than my young master's summons? "
Helot said with a smile: "It was a 'please' just now, how come it becomes a 'summon' now? I think you'd better go back and ask clearly, don't let me misunderstand what Master Panier wants to express. ”
The attendant captain was stunned on the spot.
Master Panier sent himself to invite the Bone Crusher Master, but he changed it to "summon" without authorization, and the meaning was completely different.
But if it is "please", the other party can indeed refuse.
Just when the captain of the entourage was at a loss, York Red came back with a big bag and said happily: "Master, I bought a lot of meat and sausages."
"Eat them all to make your body stronger." Helot ordered: "When I go to the polar plateau, there are a lot of things that you need to carry."
"Yes, Master." York Red Catch He took out a sausage and took a big bite.
Helot ignored the captain and walked toward the castle gate.
In the restaurant of the main castle, Panier, dressed in formal attire, was sitting at the head table waiting for the guests to arrive. The food on the table was even richer than the usual lunch. The waiter next to you is always watching the temperature of the dishes, and if they get cold, they will take them out and make them again.
After a while, the captain of the entourage hurriedly walked in and said angrily: "Master, that wild mage rejected your invitation again. This is an extremely arrogant guy. He should humiliate you. Pay the price!"
Pannier, who was rejected twice, showed no change in his expression. He was silent for a while before asking: "Did he say why he didn't come?"
"He? He didn't say anything. He just said he had something to do and left the castle. "The captain of the entourage paused and added: "He said he had time at noon and could share lunch with you."
A smile appeared on Panil's face: "Look, Bonebreaker didn't reject me, just because he did have more important things to do. Didn't he make an appointment to meet at noon? Let's wait until noon.
Let everyone outside come in and let us eat all the food together. It is shameful to waste food during the freezing season."
"Master, you are a man of noble character. Thank you for your gift."
The entourage called the others in and feasted around the dining table with Panier.
Helot left the snow castle and found the slave merchant from yesterday. The slave merchant was so frightened that he thought he was coming to return the goods.
When Helot explained the reason, the slave merchant breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have never met anyone who would ask about the origin of a slave... I am a principled businessman and cannot reveal the identity of the owner at will."
Helot took out a A silver coin: "I also have my principles. If I can't get this information with a silver coin, I will ask somewhere else. I think someone is willing to tell me which northern Xinjiang villages your supplies come from."
Slave The merchant stretched out his hand and snatched the silver coin: "It's the Tribulus Wild Boar Village! This slave was sold to me by them in the last freezing season. Whenever the freezing season is about to enter, the Tribulus Terrestris Wild Boar Village will attack some small villages to steal supplies. When you move to Snow City for the winter, sell the slaves you captured to me.”
“Where is the winter camp of Tribulus Boar Village?”
"I don't know... I really don't know. They have always escorted the slaves to come to me."
Helot took out another silver coin: "Let me ask you another question. Snow City or Snow City Where is the earth fire near the city?"
The slave merchant asked curiously: "Why are you asking this question?"
Helot casually released a fire attribute magic trick: "I am a Fire magicians want to find a place where the fire element is active to absorb elemental energy. Once they reach the polar plateau, it will be difficult to find a place where the fire element is active."
