Elven Survival Manual

Chapter 72

The little girl's father didn't expect that the noble man in front of him whose gender they had misidentified—whose demeanor could tell he was not an ordinary person—finally bought his daughter, and at the price he said at the beginning .

The poor man who got the gold coin confirmed the authenticity - he took a bite of the gold coin - and carefully put it away, then turned around and began to worry about his daughter again.

He was relieved that his family members didn't have to starve to death, but his daughter was sold by him, which made the poor feel guilty.

But no matter how guilty he was, he also sold it.

He bowed his knees and asked the elf nervously: "My kind master, I don't know where you want to brand this mark?"

Before slaves are handed over to their masters, they have to be branded, so as to prevent slaves from escaping. The branding is to be burned directly on the body with a red-hot iron. The size of the pattern can be chosen at will, and the position is also determined by the master himself.

Generally, the nobles would have their own family crests, and they liked to use the pattern of the family crests to brand the slaves in their family, mostly for the convenience of identification, these brandings would be branded in conspicuous positions.

But the branding is extremely painful for the slaves. If the branding is too large and the wound becomes inflamed, if one is not good, it may directly kill the slave.

What the poor man is worried about now is that his daughter won't be able to survive this test, and if the other party wants to print it on his face, it will be directly disfigured.

Disfigured slaves, even when they grow up, can only do some rough work, and have no chance to stand up again.

"The back of the neck does not affect the beauty and is eye-catching."

The elf said casually.

Of course he didn't intend to brand the little girl as a slave, and he didn't really buy someone for this.

But there is no need to tell the other party's father about this. Although he sympathizes with the situation in the other party's family, the fact that poor people sell girls still makes him feel a little disgusted with this man.

If you can't afford it, don't have so many. A man who is incompetent and unable to control his third leg should live with guilt all the time.

After dismissing the poor in a few words, the elf looked down at his newly bought little girl.

The little girl showed a frightened expression after her father left. She stood there stiffly, not even daring to lift her eyes, staring tremblingly at the hem of the elf's robe.

The elf's tone softened: "Martha, we still have to go around here, is it okay for you to follow?"

This is a small test, let the little girl follow by herself, if she wants to escape, the elves will not stop her, but at the same time, she also lost the chance to change her own destiny.

The little girl nodded timidly, and automatically stood behind the elf.

Originally, the elves didn't want to enter the slave market, but now that they have made a big discovery, the elves naturally plan to see if there are other suitable candidates here.

"Help me pay attention, I'm afraid I may have missed it."

"En." The Demon King nodded, his perception is stronger than that of the elves, and it is indeed easier to find.

But the elves are not bad either. He just needs to throw appraisal spells at the slaves standing in the shop. If there is no attribute panel, he can skip it directly. For some, pay attention to the basic attributes. If he meets the standard, he can go in and discuss with the merchant. price.

However, this method is also time-consuming. Each family has a lot of slaves, and some of them will not appear outside but are hidden from the back. At this time, it is necessary to ask the slave merchant if there are other slaves.

So they walked very slowly, and at the same time, the harvest was not very good.

Although it is said that there are many magical elements in the continent of Weifu, there are actually very few people who are suitable for learning magic.

After walking past several slave merchants' shops like shopping, even those on the side of the road, the elf discovered a pattern.

Those Weavers with obvious mutation characteristics seem to be classified as orcs by the identification technique-the people with attribute panels among them are all orcs without exception in the race introduction of the panel.

Orcs are notoriously unsuitable for learning magic in DW, and the same is clearly true here.

Some of those Vivs do have attribute panels, and the basic attributes are pretty good, but the intelligence and mental power required to learn magic are not high, which does not meet the requirements of orcs in "DW" to learn magic.

In fact, there are relatively few people without mutations, and even fewer of them meet the standards. At least the elves and the devil walked the entire street, and they only found three people who met the standards.

It's a one-in-a-thousand probability, no wonder there are so few magicians here.

The three selected slaves were all young without exception. The oldest was 13 years old and the youngest was only seven years old. In addition to Martha who did not escape, they happened to be two men and two women.

The qualifications of the four children are all about the same, none are particularly outstanding, but they are all very quiet and obedient. After being bought, they were asked to follow the elves, and none of them ran away.

However, the elves heard from one of the slave traders that all the slaves they sold had slave marks on them.

One is that slaves are resold by their masters, and the original imprints are still kept. Generally speaking, such branded slaves will not be branded a second time. If the original owner is a nobleman, the slaves with their family crests will instead be branded. would be very welcome.

The other was branded by slave traders.

This kind of imprint is generally printed on the chest of men and on the back of women. The pattern is not too large, so that the owner can directly cover it with a new imprint after buying a slave, but it is enough to identify the identity.

If he escaped and was caught, he would be beaten to death directly.

The three children bought from slave merchants should all be born of female slaves. They were born slaves, and their marks were stamped shortly after birth.

Only children who have survived this catastrophe are eligible to continue to live.

After the elves walked around here, basically, it was already getting dark.

"Let's go back."

After walking for a day, his legs were sore, and the lack of physical strength of the magician was indeed too weak.

They found a carriage at the intersection of the market, and took the four children back together.

The carriage was an ordinary passenger carriage, and it was very bumpy when sitting on it, but it was better because of the large space. The elf and the devil sat on one side, and the four children sat opposite them.

Facing their future masters, all four children showed fear and confusion, Martha was better, and the remaining three had heard many bad things that happened after meeting bad masters from other slaves. And the master on the other side looked too mysterious, and they couldn't help but think badly.

The four children do not know each other, have no support, and can only face the unknown future alone, which is the greatest torment.

The elf felt that if they were allowed to think about it alone, the children might faint from fright. See what they were afraid of. Even their dark skin couldn't cover up their bloodless paleness.

So he lowered his voice and said, "What's your name?"

Martha didn't speak, she had already given her name before, and the clever little girl knew that the master wasn't calling her.

The other three little slaves quickly answered the elf's question. The oldest boy was 13 years old named Sata, the younger one was Atu, the 11-year-old boy, and the youngest was Ani, a seven-year-old girl.

This is a bit surprising to the elves. Generally speaking, many slaves, especially the young ones, basically have no names. Maybe they will give themselves a name when they are older, but when they were young, slaves without family members did not need names at all, and The three children he brought back were all orphans who didn't know who their parents were, but they had their own names.

When they introduced themselves, they would always add the word "Master" at the end. This was probably intentional training, but the elf didn't like this kind of address. He frowned, and then quickly relaxed.

"Don't call me master, just call me sir."

This is probably different from the usual teachings of the little slaves. The three children hesitated to speak, but because Martha had seen the appearance of elves, she felt that such a beautiful person would not have a bad temper. Changed his mouth following the elf's wishes.

Someone took the lead and was not punished, and the remaining three also changed their mouths smoothly.

The carriage stopped outside the hotel. The palace-like luxurious buildings made the children who got out of the car more cautious. They didn't even know where to put their hands and feet, but their eyes showed curiosity and envy for this place.

As soon as they came back, the monsters came out to greet them one after another. After the succubus and the demon king reported that they had gone out, someone sent invitations.

But it wasn't the demon king who was invited, but the succubus who was invited.

"It's the businessman who was almost killed in Guma before, and he is the main target of those sand robbers." The succubus followed the demon king and said at the same time: "The other party sent an invitation to me, saying that he wanted to be the top one. At the same time, the person who sent the invitation also said that many nobles from Adadala will be invited to the banquet, and there is even a prince among them."

A prince undoubtedly raised the level of this banquet a lot, and the succubus was more or less interested.

That big businessman was quite knowledgeable, and he didn't directly invite the Demon King, otherwise the invitation would definitely be rejected.

The Demon King said lightly: "You can figure it out."

This is to let him choose.

The succubus nodded in understanding, and glanced at the four children following behind.

Glancing at the sharp eyes on his barely concealed handsome face, the four children trembled a little.

"Master, what are these?" When they were away from home, it was difficult to address His Majesty, so they changed their address to Master.

The Demon King didn't look back, but said, "That's Lu Weita's people, you don't need to worry about them."

"Ok."

Although he didn't know why the elf brought four children back, but the other party was the queen, the succubus wisely didn't continue to ask.

Probably because of the overflow of sympathy, the elves are easy to be soft-hearted towards the cubs.

The elf didn't know what the succubus was thinking, he just felt his nose itchy and wanted to sneeze, but fortunately he held back.

When the two devil maids heard that they were back, they soon appeared in front of the elves.

"Master, sir."

"It's just in time for you to come." The elf pointed behind him: "Take them to take a bath and change into clean clothes, then feed them something to eat, and bring them over after dinner."

Then he turned around and said to the younger one: "You must be obedient and don't cause trouble for them, you know?"

The four children nodded nervously and were led away.
