Seeing that Lord Earl Hillier was crying, Adam was stunned and stammered to him, "Your Earl, Your Excellency...how about I help you back to the carriage?"
"What? My slave hasn't bought it yet!" Su Jinzhi frowned and glared at him. Although his blue eyes were full of anger, they had a pitiful glint, making Adam's face pale. It turned red, and made a black-haired slave in the cage frown severely.
"My lord, these black slaves are new arrivals. They are strong and strong. You will definitely be satisfied with them." The slave trader nodded and bowed behind Su Jinzhi, trying to sell his products, "There are a few Asians, Although they are ugly, they are much easier to domesticate than black slaves, and you can take them back with you if you like."
Hearing a strange word, Su Jinzhi stopped in his tracks: "Ugly?"
"Yes." The slave trader also stopped, squinted his eyes and pointed at someone, just right at the person Su Jinzhi wanted to see but didn't really want to see, "Here, look, this is the ugliest one out there, We all call him Agri directly, but he is also the strongest."
Su Jinzhi's platinum-gold aristocratic clothes are extremely eye-catching in this land dominated by dark tones, not to mention his dazzling blond hair and delicate face like the sun, so when he came, all the slaves stared straight at him. stopped him. As a result, one finger of the slave trader now attracted everyone's attention to the face of the "ugliest Asian slave" in his mouth.
Su Jinzhi: "..."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Su Jinzhi almost couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but lament the aesthetic differences between different races as deep as a chasm.
Zero told him before that the face of saving the general target will not change in every world. This face he is very familiar with is deep and handsome, and it is absolutely impeccable among Asians. Handsome, but... In this continent ruled by people with mostly European faces, what they appreciate is the kind of oriental face with thin and long eyes and flat face that seems a bit mysterious to them.
The general goal of salvation that is neither mysterious nor in line with their aesthetics can only bear the name "Agri".
Being interrupted by the slave trader, the sadness in Su Jinzhi's heart was relieved a lot, and he didn't feel so sad when he looked at the general goal of saving.
"Well, you're right, I've never seen such an ugly Asian slave." Su Jinzhi curled the corners of his lips, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, "Just him and the group over there, take them to the Go to my manor, and I will send the gold coins to my servant."
Seeing that Earl Hillier bought so many slaves in an instant, the slave trader shook his beard with a smile, and replied repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Earl Hillier!"
"Let's go." Su Jinzhi took one last look at Agri, lowered his eyes and left the slave market.
bought slaves
There are desperate expressions on their faces - they would rather be bought by other miserly and stingy nobles as beasts, rather than be taken back to the manor by this young man who is as beautiful as a goblin.
Everyone in the Novi Kingdom knew the reputation of Earl Josh Hillier. The slaves brought back by him usually had only one end, that is, he drank all the blood from his body and died.
In the end, the slaves were closed together and locked in a huge cage. A deadly silence enveloped them. No one wanted to talk, and no one wanted to chat. Everyone was counting their days on their fingers. I hope the Earl is in a good mood , Can eat slowly, let them live longer.
In such an atmosphere, no one will pay attention to the group of Asian slaves who look similar to them in the corner. Escaped from the slave cage of Earl Sy Hillier.
Therefore, when the black-haired, gray-eyed slave who was ridiculed by the trader's head named "Ageli" left the cage, no one noticed.
He hid in the shadows under the high-cornered roof of the castle, and quietly returned to a room. After wiping off the stains and blood on his body, he put on a suit of gray and white expensive clothes. If anyone could see it at this moment, they would be surprised to find that, This is the clothes worn by Count Josh Hillier's favorite servant, Reeves.
The slave finally covered his face with a piece of human skin, evoking a false smile, and the flame dancing on the candlestick flashed dim spots of light in his dark gray eyes. In the end, holding a stack of carefully packaged travel books, he walked back to his beloved master with methodical steps in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Reeves is Josh Hillier's closest servant, and he is the most thoughtful in serving him, but Adam was temporarily caught by Reeves to take over. No matter how careful he is, there will always be negligence.
Therefore, Su Jinzhi felt a little uncomfortable after returning to the carriage. The skin on his left cheek was itchy and painful, and it was hot. He was also groggy and very tired. I didn't know when I arrived at Sanfro Manor.
Reeves and other servants in the manor had already laid out the carpet. The crimson carpet stretched from the front of the carriage to the gate of the manor. Because the sun had already set at this moment, there was no need to open an umbrella for the earl. They stood in front of the carriage, waiting respectfully for Earl Josh Hillier to get off.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the carriage.
"Master Josh?" Reeves frowned slightly, raised his hand and lifted the curtain to glance into the carriage.
"... Reeves?" Hearing the voice, Su Jinzhi woke up in a daze, saw that it was Reeves, and subconsciously reached out to touch the stinging part of his cheek, but was stopped.
Reeves held his wrist, frowning very high: "Master Josh, you are sunburned."
Su Jinzhi couldn't break free from his shackles, but his body felt cold and sore. He curled up and muttered: "Reeves...I don't feel well...I feel bad..."
"Lord Josh, I'm sorry." Reeves looked at him for three seconds, then leaned over and picked him up horizontally, and took him off the soft seat of the carriage.
When the other servants saw that the Earl was carried out of the carriage by Mr. Reeves, they immediately understood that the Earl must have been exposed to the sun and fell ill again. Gentle, because only at that time he will not drink blood wine, and will only get angry with Mr. Reeves alone. When the Earl is sick, it is their happiest time.
Reeves carried Su Jinzhi into the bedroom, took off his underwear, shoes and socks for him, pulled the quilt around his neck, wrapped him tightly, and rubbed the back of his fingers around the red and rotten wound on the side of the boy's face with some distress With intact skin, he suddenly regretted his sudden departure from him to join the crowd of slaves.
"Go and prepare hot water." Reeves ordered to the maid.
The maid lowered her head and replied briskly, "Yes, Mr. Reeves."
"Wait." Hearing her voice, Reeves suddenly stopped her.
The maid stopped in confusion and turned to look at Reeves.
"Were you laughing just now?" The tall man turned around, casting a huge shadow in front of her, his gray eyes full of coldness and gloom.
"Mr. Reeves... I was wrong... please forgive me!" The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy tremblingly.
Reeves walked up to her and squatted down, staring into her eyes and said in a cold voice: "Go and tell the people in the manor that before Master Josh's illness is not cured, whoever dares to laugh, I will cut him off." His tongue tore his mouth so that he could never laugh for the rest of his life."
With tears streaming down her face, the maid responded tremblingly, "Yes, yes..."
"Go away." Reeves stood up and walked back to the gilt bed.
Su Jinzhi slept for three whole days, and missed the emperor's dinner. Fortunately, the emperor didn't go there because he knew he was sick, and he was not angry. He even wrote to the manor to ask Su Jinzhi to recover from his illness.
He was alone in the room when he awoke, but the curtains were drawn, proving that Reeves must have been there.
Su Jinzhi got up and got out of bed, and almost tripped over the silk nightgown that reached to his ankles. He went to the window and saw that it was snowing outside.
The sky was gloomy, showing a slumped gray, but pure white snowflakes kept falling.
However, Su Jinzhi had no time to appreciate the beautiful snow scene of the imperial capital, because he saw the scabs on his face from the reflective glass surface.
"Ahhh!" Su Jinzhi screamed in his mind expressionlessly, remembering what he said before No. 0, he also set the targeted communication object as No. 1. In order not to collapse Josh Hillier's character design, he I can only choose to torture No. 1, "Oh my god! I'm disfigured!"
"...it will be fine." No. 1 couldn't stand his torture, and said aloud.
Su Jinzhi pointed to his home on the glass: "But I'm ugly now."
Number One said, "Then you can't call either."
"What will be fine?" No. 0 was a little strange when he heard what No. 1 said, "Brother No. 1, did the host call? Why didn't I hear it?"
Number One couldn't believe it: "You actually only called me?"
Su Jinzhi: "I called the wrong channel, I will try again now."
"Enough." No. 1 hurriedly interrupted him, and then went to teach No. 0 a lesson, "No. 0, what did you say to the host?"
No. 0 whimpered and cried: "Brother No. 1, I was wrong, don't pinch me... woo..."
"You haven't set the pain emotion yet, why are you crying... Wait, what are you crying about? Motor oil?!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Jinzhi heard a voice of "Garji, Karji" in his mind, and no one paid any attention to him when he called number zero and number one.
"What are you doing?" Su Jinzhi wondered what the two AIs were doing, and muttered to himself, and then he saw Reeves opening the door and coming in with a dinner plate in the reflection of the glass.
"Lord Josh." Seeing him standing by the window, Reeves quickly picked up the cloak and covered him. "It's snowing outside, and it's cold by the window. You should wear more."
Su Jinzhi sat down at the table: "How long have I been asleep?"
Reeves replied: "Three days, my lord."
"It's been three days?"
"Yes, Lord Josh. The New Year's dinner is over, but His Majesty sent a message, wishing you a speedy recovery."
Su Jinzhi was very disappointed: "It's over..."
Aware of his tone, Reeves took out the porridge from the dinner plate and asked, "Is Master Josh disappointed? But haven't you always disliked the New Year's dinner?"
Su Jinzhi sighed, holding the silver spoon and stirring it in the bowl. The person who is tired of the aristocratic atmosphere is Josh Hillier, not him. He, a future interstellar native, has never seen the New Year’s dinner where nobles in the magic world spend money like water. If I knew it, I would have to go a few days later. Buy those slaves now.
"Where are all the slaves I bought?"
Reeves stood aside without changing his expression, and said respectfully: "They are all being held in the slave trough, Mr. Josh, do you want to drink nectar?"
"No, I want to go and see them." Su Jinzhi put down his spoon and said.
To see a group of slaves
Reeves looked at him in surprise: "But my lord, the wound on your face is not healed yet."
That's right, Su Jinzhi raised his hand and touched his face, he is still disfigured, and he has to wait until his injury heals to go.
After finishing the stomach-nourishing milk porridge, Reeves made another cup of black tea for Su Jinzhi, and said casually, "Why does Lord Josh want to buy so many slaves all of a sudden?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Su Jinzhi took a sip of the light white water mist floating on the surface of the deep red and slightly brown tea, then put down the teacup, his eyes drifted to the window, "I'm here to find my 'wind' ' Same taste."
Reeves stood beside him, leaning over to refill his tea, with a gentle and gentle voice: "If you can't find it, your lord bought so many slaves."
Su Jinzhi paused while drinking tea, that's right, he didn't know what the blood of Agri, who looked exactly like his father Song, tasted like, and besides, this Reeves in front of him always liked to drink blood after bloodletting. He just kills people directly, what if his overall goal of saving is killed
When Reeves became fierce, he even killed him together. How much is a mere Agri.
But the "intimate" Reeves saw him lost in thought, and immediately smiled and said, "Master Josh, how about choosing a few people who are willing to be loyal to you and let them protect you?"
good idea!
Reeves you are awesome!
Su Jinzhi's eyes lit up, but he still had to pretend. He sat up straight, coughed twice and pretended not to be tempted at all. By the way, he checked Reeves' favorability, frowned and refused: "But I have your protection. enough."
Reeves heard his words, and the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed: "Of course I will protect Master Josh, but the people in the temple are really hateful. They always like to fight against you, sir. I don't want you to You were injured because of this, so please ask your lord to train more guards who can protect you."
"It makes sense, Reeves, you are really my most loyal servant." Su Jinzhi reluctantly agreed, "But how can I know if they are sincerely loyal to me? You know, no one will be as loyal as you .”
"If Mr. Josh is willing to believe me, try to do this..." Reeves leaned down and whispered his idea close to Su Jinzhi's ear.
Fiery breath sprayed on his ears and neck, Reeves' voice was deep and gentle, as low and sexy as a cello being slowly pulled in the night, bewitching the audience to follow his instructions, Su Jinzhi listened to his slow tone , For a moment, he thought it was Song Mingxuan talking in his ear.
"Master Josh, how is it? Do you like this method?"
Su Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, but his mood suddenly sank for some reason, and he responded lightly: "Well, not bad."
Reeves pressed his right hand to his heart and saluted him: "I am willing to serve you, my master."
"Didn't you buy a few new travel notes?" Su Jinzhi was a little confused and didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, "Go and show me."
"Yes, Lord Josh." Reeves closed the door and left.
The charcoal fire in the fireplace was burning very vigorously. Su Jinzhi closed his eyes and listened to the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground and the beating of his heart wrapped in his ribs. The sound of "boom bah bah" was somewhat similar to the melody of the heart beating when the man carried him on his back.
Su Jinzhi curled up on the sofa, wrapped himself tightly with a soft blanket, he was a little cold and sad, he wished that someone could give him a hug at this time, like a star that never falls, To guide him in the blind and untraceable night.
No wonder No.1 warns him not to fall in love with anyone in every world, not to get too involved in the drama, because these are meaningless.
- They will eventually separate.
The beautiful music, dazzling fireworks, delicious red wine and delicacies can't make him smile, and the luxurious and comfortable big bed, gorgeous and lively dance, and countless servants around his knees can only make him more lonely.
His lover disappeared in the darkness, taking away the only light in his world, leaving only heavy and unbearable pain and tears.
Legend has it that Josh Hillier's beauty was bestowed on him by the abyssal demon in hell, so when he stands in the sun, God will take away his gorgeous and delicate face—Earl Hillier can't see the sun, like a vampire Photophobia and bloodthirsty, this is something the entire continent knows.
If Su Jinzhi knew this, he would definitely say: Fart, I was born with this.
However, although Josh Hillier was born to live on blood, he was not born so cruel and violent.
However, too much time has passed, and most people only remember the beautiful and cruel Goblin Earl, and only a small number of people know the bloody and terrifying Hillier family.
Hillier, this ancient and cruel surname, only Josh Hillier was left ten years ago.
But even if he is the only one, he can perfectly inherit the bloody honor of the Hillier family, because for them, being alive is the greatest honor.
So when the dreaded Earl Hillier finally left the imperial capital, the commoners and nobles in the imperial capital breathed a sigh of relief. This year, he didn't abduct any simple girl, but took away a large number of strong black slaves. People are guessing: Has the earl's taste changed
In fact, Su Jinzhi just forgot about this. Besides, there is a "Mary Jane" waiting for him to go back in his Black Swan Castle. In the past, Reeves was responsible for purchasing delicious girls. I don’t know why he didn’t do it this year. Instead of buying, I brought back a bunch of travel books. Su Jinzhi is not the really bloodthirsty and murderous Josh Hillier, so Reeves will not abduct and sell ignorant girls, and he will not mention this matter, and he will directly take the black slaves back to the Leeds Mountains.
The wounds healed slowly in winter, and the wounds on Su Jinzhi's face were still not healed until the day before he left, so he could only take the group of slaves with him, planning to wait until he returned to Black Swan Castle to see.
The environment in the Leeds Mountains was very harsh. Some black slaves and Asians had infected whip wounds that had not fully healed, and died of fever within a few days. All are going to visit the slaves in the slave cellar of Black Swan Castle.
After Reeves knew about this, he didn't stop him this time, but he went to the slave cellar with him, saying that there was something wrong with the Sorcerer's Stone Mine, and he was going to rush there to solve the troubles for Mr. Josh.
Su Jinzhi was a little strange at first. After all, Reeves always wanted to be inseparable from Josh Hillier forever. After listening to his explanation, he understood, waved his hand and said indifferently: "Okay, Go ahead."
Reeves bowed to him: "Yes, Lord Josh."
Su Jinzhi was very happy that Reeves ran away. It might be better without Reeves by his side, so that he would not have to worry about his collapse and being hacked to death all the time.
It's just that this good mood disappeared after he went to the slave cellar, because the environment of the slave cellar was really bad, dirty and messy, and filled with an indescribable stench, Su Jinzhi covered his nose, Ask the servant in charge of the slaves, "Do all the slaves live here?"
The servant said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Earl."
"This place smells like a pig cage. It's really uncomfortable." Su Jinzhi kicked away an unknown piece, "You ask someone to make this place better, and I will come here to choose people next time."
"Yes, my lord."
No matter what Su Jinzhi said, the servant would only agree. In Josh Hillier's Black Swan Castle, only Reeves dared to raise objections in front of him.
Soon they came to the iron cage of the slaves. Black slaves and Asians were held separately. The black slaves he bought were indeed very strong. The sackcloth covered the key parts, exposing the bulging and huge chest muscles and the well-defined abdominal muscles. The strong and powerful biceps were even a little scary, so thick that Su Jinzhi suspected that they could crush themselves to death with one hand.
The slave cellar was built near the fire-type magic stone mine, so even though there was a howling snowstorm outside, the slave cellar was still warm without any insulation measures, and it was even a bit stuffy. The depression between the raised muscles slowly slid down, and Su Jinzhi, who had been trained to be gay by Song Mingxuan, couldn't help but stare straight at his eyes.
