Selby City!

This is the closest city to the royal city of Sodar in Xijing, with a straight-line distance of only one hundred kilometers.

Before entering the city, Annuo was worried that Liz would be discovered by the guards at the city gate.

But after observing outside the city for a while, he discovered that there were also some human professionals followed by demons.

When entering the city, the guard just took a look, collected the entry fee, and didn't say much.

After asking around, Annuo found out that in such a prosperous city, demon slaves were not uncommon because of the existence of slave contracts.

These slaves were captured on the front lines.

The nobles in the north would train the captured demons and then transport them to the royal city and surrounding cities to sell them in order to make a profit.

Professionals can spend ten gold coins to buy a slave contract, and then buy a slave to get a laborer or a thug for free.

How many slaves a person can sign is mainly related to the strength of his soul.

Most people could only sign a slave of the same level, or more lower-level slaves.

Of course there are exceptions.

However, once you exceed the limit, there is a possibility of backlash.

Indentured slaves were unheard of in remote places like Valkham.

But here, it is a common thing.

If Liz appeared in Valkham or Grae City without concealing her appearance, it would definitely cause a riot.

But it is normal for nobles or powerful professionals in Selby City to find a demon as a slave!

Moreover, monsters with absolutely beautiful appearance like the succubus are always sold at auction at extremely high prices!

Although Annuo was treated as a country bumpkin when he learned about the situation, at least he understood some things.

Between Liz's eyebrows there is a hexagram array formed by the original contract.

There is a fourth-level sergeant at the city gate who is specifically responsible for inspecting the demons.

He didn't recognize the mark though.

But when he sensed the magical fluctuations above, he realized that this was a contract.

Besides, the sergeant didn’t even take two third-level low-level professionals seriously.

"Let's go, let's go into the city!"

Anno, who had used [Mimicry] to change his face into an ordinary one, led Liz and, after paying the soldiers 10 coppers per person as an entry fee, entered Selby City in a swagger.

After entering the city, An Nuo saw the busy scene on the streets and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Compared to here, the cities we passed along the way were indeed no different from towns.

The streets are full of professionals wearing weapons, most of whom are at level three.

There are also fourth-level professionals, but not many in number.

Moreover, Annuo not only saw a large number of human professionals, but also professionals of other races.

Such as orc warriors, dwarf musketeers.

The number was not too large, but it opened Annuo's eyes.

An Nuo has come into contact with quite a few demons, and he has the souls of demons and ghosts.

But among the other order races besides humans, Annuo had also seen a werewolf before - Warwick, the leader of the Fanglang Mercenary Group.

After a walk around the city, Annuo bought a lot of good things.

Including a fine steel dagger and a staff inlaid with fire crystals.

The dagger was sold by a dwarf, and was made of steel mixed with star sand.

Not only is its sharpness one level higher than Annuo's previous dagger, but it is also slightly lighter.

The staff's additional effect allows the caster to reduce the magicka consumption by 5% when casting fire magic.

After updating the weapons and equipment, Annuo's combat effectiveness has also been slightly improved.

In addition, he also purchased some materials for the divine formation.

The encounter in Gray Dream Town made Annuo realize his weakness of insufficient defense when facing enemy siege.

Therefore, he planned to make a small third-order divine protection formation and carry it with him.

Take it out at the critical moment to activate defense.

However, this was just an idea that Annuo came up with on the spur of the moment when he saw someone selling materials for the God-Controlling Formation.

It will take some time to study how to carry the Divine Control Array with you.

While walking around the market, An Nuo suddenly found a large number of iron cages piled up in an alley.

A fat businessman wearing a monocle and a tall hat was giving a continuous introduction.

Next to him were third-level guards wearing uniform.

One of them followed the merchant closely, and his strength had reached the fourth level, making him a level 22 warrior!

A group of professionals gathered around the merchant, pointing and talking at the cage.

Those locked in the cages were slaves captured from the front battlefield.

There was a female demon huddled in a corner of a cage.

There were also extremely ferocious demons who, even with their hands and feet tied up with chains and their faces pale with weakness, still bared their teeth at the humans who were pointing fingers outside.

There was also a guy lying in a cage and snoring.

No matter which one.

Once someone is interested in buying a slave, the slave trader will use a slave contract.

Make them slaves of the buyers.

From then on, fate was in the hands of humans.

An Nuo looked around and found that the highest level of slaves in the cages was 20.

In other words, these are all low-level demons below level three.

An Nuo speculated that demon slaves above level four would not be sold on the streets of this kind of market.

Just as An Nuo was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and looked towards an iron cage inside.

All the slaves here are in bad condition.

The health points are basically below one third.

[Insight] When observing these slaves, it will also remind you that these demons are in a weak state and their combat effectiveness is only one tenth of what it was.

But the demon that Annuo was looking at now was a half-orc from the monkey clan, and was level 18.

The opponent's life is almost full!

It was so conspicuous in Anno's vision.

When An Nuo looked at it, the latter seemed to sense something and looked up and met An Nuo's gaze.

After a few seconds, the monkey man hid in a corner of the cage and turned around.

Annuo pondered for a while, then turned and left.

He doesn't understand this business.

Who knows if the slave trader keeps this demon on purpose or for some other reason.

Let's take a step back.

Even if the merchant was negligent, the fourth-level guard was also negligent.

In the end, something went wrong, and it had nothing to do with him.

With this thought in mind, Annuo took Liz and left the market.

It was almost evening now.

An Nuo found a hotel to stay in.

At night, that's when Liz starts to act up.

Maybe because of the previous kiss, Liz is getting bolder now.

She has a devilish figure, with a curvy figure.

Coupled with the purple magic patterns on the skin, it adds to the charm.

Tonight, Liz was wearing only her underwear, lying in front of Anno's bed.

Strike a pose, show off your body, and tease Anno.

No matter how strong Annuo's willpower was, he couldn't help but climb up with his hands.

"Hmm~"

Liz's face flushed, she bit her lips, and let Annuo's hands play with her proud part.

…

It's dawn.

Anno patted Liz who was sleeping next to him to wake her up.

"Good morning, Master!"

Liz yawned and rubbed her eyes.

The sheet covering her body slipped off as she moved, revealing most of her snow-capped peak.

"Fairy!"

An Nuo took a look and got up to wash.

Although the final step was not taken last night, Annuo successfully calmed down his anger with the help of Liz.

Liz was very happy.

She felt that she was not far from conquering her master.

When the two went downstairs, there were already quite a few diners outside.

When An Nuo was having breakfast, he heard people around him talking about something.

Something happened in the city yesterday.

A demon slave of a certain slave trader somehow got the key to the cage, and not only ran away himself, but also let other slaves escape.

Although the guards found and recaptured most of them, some demon slaves still escaped during the chaos.

"I heard that Earl Edward was furious about this and sent a large number of soldiers to search for the escaped demons overnight!"

"Did you find it?"

"I don't think so. When I came in just now, I saw many soldiers in the streets."

"Not only that, even the mercenaries are involved! The Earl has issued commissions to many mercenaries, requiring them to capture all the escaped demons!"

"I heard that only a few escaped, why are you making such a big move?"

“…”

Listening to their discussion, Annuo instantly thought of the monkey man he met yesterday.
