Chapter 61 Buying a Slave
Paladin had no expression on his face, but he was cursing this bastard slave owner in his heart. This is an obvious price hike! Generally speaking, an adult man can sell one to two gold coins. It's already the limit. Three gold coins, that's the price only a woman can have. This slave owner is clearly trying to trick Paladin into thinking he is a priest!
But you can't bargain. On the surface, Paladin wears a mask of justice, but once he bargains, he feels like a philistine. Absolutely no bargaining. Paladin nodded under the expectant eyes of the five young men, took out fifteen gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the ecstatic slave owner and said, "Let them go."
"Okay, okay, you are the guest, you have the final say." The slave owner smiled happily from ear to ear. He immediately asked the thugs next to him to open the iron cage. Paladin immediately knelt down, untied his shawl and draped it around the smooth man, and said with a great expression: "Come on, follow me. Get out of this dirty place." "Well... brothers, we can go back Home!" The leading man held Paladin's hand with tears in his eyes, walked out of the iron cage with the other four excited companions in the cage, and looked at Paladin with eyes filled with gratitude.
At this time, Paladin clearly saw many nobles whispering and snickering. Perhaps he thought Paladin was an idiot, and snickered to himself. Seeing this, Paladin immediately said to the leading man with a sacred face: "Do you know why I saved you and not others?" "Ah?"
Five men, you look at me, I look at you. In addition to confusion, there was also confusion in his eyes. Paladin smiled and picked up the handkerchief, helped the man wipe away the stains on the scar on his chest, and said with a serious face: "Because there is hope in your eyes. But they don't. It's worth saving you."
Suddenly, the snickering nobles fell silent. Paladin's words not only explained his reason for saving them, but also said that these slaves had lost the courage to live. He also scolded these nobles with a pun: "You are dressed gorgeously, but you are not even willing to do these simple things. What is the difference between you and a desperate slave?" At this moment, in addition to most of the nobles gnashing their teeth in secret hatred, a small number of nobles , but lowered his head, bearing the condemnation of his conscience.
But this is not within the scope of Paladin's consideration. He was about to finish his part and call a carriage to take him back to his church in Paris. In an iron cage behind him, an inhuman howl suddenly sounded: "Ho ho ho ho!" Paladin immediately looked back alertly, only to see a man three heads taller than himself in an iron cage that was clearly reinforced and reinforced. The big man, who was as thick as his own waist, had an iron mask on his mouth and his hands were firmly tied with iron chains. Looking at Paladin with red eyes, he wanted to eat him in one bite. At this moment, the slave owner immediately wailed and said with an unhappy face: "What a tragedy, the beast has woken up. No business can be done today!"
"Beast?" Paladin frowned and looked at the big man. He was surprised to find that this giant man not only had lush body hair, but also had vertical pupils like a wild beast. The fingers of both hands are covered with sharp and thick hooked claws. In the mouth covered by the iron shield, you can vaguely see the neat and sharp teeth! But the slave owner ignored the secret laughter of his colleagues around him, frowned at a thug and scolded: "What's going on! Where is the sleeping potion for ten people that I want you to give? Why did you wake up so quickly!" "Boss, I do not know either."
Paladin, who was proficient in alchemy, narrowed his pupils and was very surprised. A sleeping pill for ten people, if given to ordinary people, they will die! But the slave owner said that he was beaten every day! What kind of monster is this giant man! "What's going on with this man? Judging from his figure, he should be a barbarian from the north." When the slave owner heard Paladin's question, he immediately rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "Yes, this thing is a barbarian from the north." But even his kind said he was a monster." A middle-aged noble next to him immediately joked: "The barbarian among barbarians, hahaha."
Paladin simply ignored the teasing of these nobles, looked at the monster with crazy eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch it. "Be careful!" The slave owner was startled and hurriedly tried to stop him. Paladin immediately saw the monster staring at his hand, and moved forward hungrily. The mouth in the iron cover kept biting up and down, trying to eat the hand into its stomach.
The slave owner hurriedly pulled back Paladin's hand and warned nervously: "This monster eats everything, even people! A mercenary reached in before, and the monster bit the iron shield to pieces, and then bit through the metal on his arm. The iron armor tore off the entire palm of his hand!" Paladin yelled, becoming more and more interested in this monster. It seems that there is no reason, only the desire and survival instinct of the beast. Paladin suddenly decided to buy this monster. "Boss, how much does he want?"
"Ah? What did you say?" The slave owner was surprised and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. The surrounding nobles also looked at the Paladin with great interest. Who knows that Paladin said with certainty: "I want to buy it, how much will you pay?" "This... Father, this is really for your own good, this thing will only kill you!" "How much." "Oh. ...You didn’t listen to my advice. Don’t blame me if something goes wrong. If the priest really wants it, just a gold coin will do.” The slave owner looked helpless, but he was smiling in his heart. Finally, I was able to sell this monster that had eaten so much! As for whether the priest will be eaten, this is no longer within the scope of the slave master's consideration.
Paladin took out a gold coin and handed it to the slave owner. The five men around him immediately asked in confusion: "Dear priest, why do you want to save him?" "Because he is not desperate." Paladin felt that he was a philosopher at the moment. Home. He talked about a lot of things that he didn't even care about, but the key thing is that these idiots actually nodded with a look of shame. It almost made him laugh on the spot.
Paladin, who looked like a Virgin, turned to look at the monster who wanted to eat him in one bite. He narrowed his eyes, smiled, stretched out his hand again and said, "Hello, my name is Paladin." The slave owner looked on without saying anything, and the goods were sold. If he goes out, he won't be responsible for anything that happens. And he was vaguely looking forward to the hilarious scene when the childish priest was bitten.
But at this moment, the three hundred light elements around Paladin were frantically agitating, and he was planning to kill this monster just in case. At this time, the monster that originally longed for flesh and blood suddenly discovered that the delicious meat in front of him had turned into an extremely terrifying and ferocious monster! The terrifying and deadly aura made him follow his instincts, and the weak obeyed the beast instincts of the strong. His ferocious eyes turned into fear, and he lowered his head timidly, trembling all over as he felt Paladin gently caressing his hair, and let out waves of whimpers for mercy.
"My Enos! What's going on!" The slave owner was dumbfounded, and the surrounding nobles who knew how powerful this monster was were also dumbfounded. The slave owners around are even more petrified! They saw things they didn't want to believe. A well-mannered priest actually touched this monster's hair! What's even more amazing is that this formerly ferocious monster actually lowered his head in a very submissive manner! Paladin smiled slightly, completely ignoring the stunned scene of everyone present, and squeezed out a few words from his lips, saying very quietly: "Good boy, good dog..."
PS: I was wrong, I was really wrong! I've been playing Dynasty Warriors 6 day and night for the past three days. I'm so obsessed with it that I can't take it back. When it was almost dawn, I suddenly realized that I had not coded all day! I was wrong. I have to go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow... It would be impossible if I didn't risk my life.
