The hairstyle that Yang Yu cut did not change Bai Jin's original hairstyle too much. He just shortened the bangs slightly and cleaned up the split ends of the hair, making Bai Jin look very delicate.
After cutting off her bangs, Yang Yu realized that although Bai Jin was not as beautiful as Iyas, she was also above the average person.
Bai Jin is not tall. If Iyas is beautiful, Bai Jin is more or less cute.
This point was particularly strong when Yang Yu tied up Bai Jin's hair and dyed her hair.
Perhaps, it is because Bai Jin always gives people a gloomy feeling, and no one has ever seen Bai Jin with this blushing cheeks and extremely shy expression, which created this cute contrast.
Yang Yu was increasingly puzzled as to why Bai Jin's charm was -10. This was a rather unreasonable number.
After opening the panel and looking at it again and again, Yang Yu was shocked to find that Bai Jin's charm had suddenly increased from -10 to 15.
Hmm? Can dyeing and cutting hair improve your attractiveness
Damn, it’s so easy to increase charm so much. I always feel like I lost a lot of money on charm before!
Despite his complaints, Yang Yu still dyed Bai Jin's hair bit by bit according to the hair dyeing techniques in the "Shamatte" hairstyle guide. He rinsed off the excess hair dye with clean water and blow-dried it with a hair dryer, letting Bai Jin's long golden hair fly in the air.
Iyas on the side couldn't help but exclaimed, "From this perspective, Bai Jin really looks like an ordinary elf. There is absolutely no problem with this."
He Meng staggered out from the hood that Bai Jin had put aside and asked Yang Yu for lunch. For some reason, Yang Yu looked very happy and took out a bag of four-leaf clovers and buried it.
After crawling out from the four-leaf clover, He Meng suddenly discovered that Bai Jin had turned into an elf.
He Meng's action of swallowing the four-leaf clover came to an abrupt stop, and she looked at Yang Yu with surprise. "What kind of magic did you use to turn Bai Jin into this? I almost didn't recognize her as Bai Jin."
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Bai Jin asked Yang Yu hesitantly. She couldn't see what she looked like now and she was always concerned about it.
Handing Bai Jin a mirror, Yang Yu gave her a thumbs up.
"No problem, even though it's my first time, the results are pretty good."
The quality of items extracted from the system is much higher than those in Yang Yu's real world. Even though Yang Yu's craftsmanship is extremely ordinary, he still dyed Bai Jin's hair into a uniform golden color.
Bai Jin took the mirror handed over by Yang Yu, took a look at it, and hurriedly returned it to Yang Yu.
In fact, Bai Jin didn’t care about what she looked like now. She only cared about whether Yang Yu would find it strange and whether he would feel that she was no longer like herself.
Bai Jin secretly glanced at Yang Yu a few times, and seeing that Yang Yu was the same as always, her inner uneasiness disappeared.
“It’s really youthful.”
Lotkar on the side smiled slightly. Yang Yu is more popular than imagined. Miss Bai Jin, you have to work harder.
After waiting for Bai Jin to adjust to her current self, Yang Yu set out again for the Fallen Feather City where the Elf Queen was.
On the way, Iyas found a familiar road.
The path chosen by Yang Yu actually passed through the destroyed village of Iyas and his people.
Iyas didn't ask Yang Yu to stop, but Yang Yu stopped on his own initiative.
The village where Iyas once lived has become a ruin, with broken buildings and charred wood lying here and there, but green buds of life have sprouted.
Iyas walked to a dilapidated house where she and her brother once lived, and now only ashes remained.
Looking around, there was no sign that anyone had been here recently, and the footprints of the elves who had conducted investigations in the past had been buried by the footprints of time.
There is nothing left to be nostalgic for here, so Iyas, Yang Yu and others set out on their journey to the Fallen Feather City again.
"Iyas, speaking of which, how many people are there in your village? Judging from the size of your village, it would take a lot of manpower and resources to capture you."
When asked by Yang Yu, Iyas did not look sad. Instead, she smiled as much as possible and replied:
"There are about 123 people in our village. And the human group hunting us is about 30."
Compared to the border between Setis and Wansheng, this place is closer to the border between the Rose Empire and Wansheng.
With the two countries at war, it is impossible for someone from the Rose Empire to sneak into the Elf Forest, hunt elf slaves, and then transfer them to Sethis.
The Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce, which auctioned Iyas and Hake, had many slaves of unknown origin, and they would not easily explain the slaves' origins.
However, according to the information collected by Yang Yu, the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce did have exchanges with the Chamber of Commerce in the Rose Empire that was engaged in the slave trade, but everything was extremely secretive, and it was quite difficult to collect intelligence.
Thinking of this, Yang Yu noticed a number.
There are more than 3,000 missing elves. If it was a small gang that committed the crime, they could only secretly kidnap a few elves and then transport them back to the human world to sell them.
She confirmed with Iyas that there had never been any missing persons in Iyas's village before the tragedy. However, she did hear from the priest that people had gone missing in some villages.
The priest also specifically told Iyas that if she met anyone suspicious, she must not confront them head-on, let alone have any contact with them.
According to Iyas's confession, before the tragedy, the disappearance of elves was indeed rare.
There is no way the number could exceed a thousand.
Elves are extremely valuable slave commodities.
But Huck was only sold once, and that was to the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce, which had a grudge against Yang Yu.
I heard from Secamens, who had once searched for Hake on behalf of Yang Yu, that when he arrived at the slave auction house to look for male elf slaves, the person in charge of the auction house was so excited that he took him around and helped him choose good-looking male elves. He wanted to sell all the male elves in the auction house to Secamens at once.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Elf slaves are extremely rare, so they can be sold at high prices in the market.
If the elves, which were originally only auctioned a few times a year, suddenly expanded hundreds of times, what would happen to the price
There will definitely be a big drop.
Judging from the market performance of Setis, the elves' slave market has been saturated.
The nobles who are interested all have their own elf slaves, but those who are not interested will never buy one.
But in Setis, the price of elves is still sky-high.
Among them, Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce made an indelible contribution to the monopoly of the slave trade.
There is another reason. Elves are special slave commodities. They will never age or lose their beauty. The Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of using them as ballast. As long as they can keep them for decades and still sell them at a high price, they will not lose money. The shelf life is almost infinite.
Elves do not die, but humans do.
There will always be new wealthy people born, and some people will come from other countries to buy elf slaves.
Here comes the problem.
