Chapter 345: Exotic Scenery (Mist)

Emily walked in the underground slave market, looking at the 'slaves' around her who were huddled in the corners because of pain or fear, her eyes were full of distress.

She parted ways with Ji Ruo and others temporarily, naturally because she had important things to do.

The previous battle with the Alchemy Golems was quite a commotion.

Although Ji Ruo had deliberately avoided these 'slaves' during the battle, those alchemical puppets would not.

They kept saying they were "transferring goods", but their methods were very rough, and many "slaves" were injured.

After all, it is 'goods'.

As the agent of the "most gentle goddess of life", Emily would naturally not turn a blind eye to these vibrant lives - of course, this is only limited to these poor guys, those so-called "guests", Emily does not like them either.

She is not completely a goddess of life and cannot treat all lives equally.

The 'slaves' looked at Emily, huddled in the corner in fear, without any desire to resist, or even to escape, they just huddled in the corner.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The bad guys have been eliminated by us. From now on, you are free."

She spoke softly, singing a gentle ballad that seemed to have a magical power to soothe people's hearts, like the lullaby her mother sang by her bed when she was a child.

The fear on the 'slaves' faces dissipated a little.

Emily was not just singing, the unknown song was also a spell she was chanting.

Healing of life, thriving of life,...

Emily released life spells one after another, allowing the slaves to feel the long-lost warmth from body to soul.

Yes, Emily is healing these 'slaves'.

Ji Ruo and others originally planned to come with Emily, but were rejected by Emily.

The reason is that she is the only one among the crowd who knows the healing magic, and she has no fighting ability.

With such a big commotion here, it's impossible for the managers of the Slave Chamber of Commerce to be unaware of it. If they don't hurry up, the other party might run away... In short, Emily rationally analyzed the situation based on the "cases" she had read in various adventure novels, and successfully split up with Ji Ruo and others.

Of course, Ji Ruo and the others were also worried about Emily, so Sheila used the magic of the dead to awaken more than a dozen undead to protect Emily.

These undead spirits are naturally one of the reasons why the 'slaves' are afraid.

As for the origin of the undead - they are 'guests'.

These guys are certainly not good people either.

"Okay, I've healed all your injuries!"

Emily exhaled, waved to the slaves, and said with a grin, "I have also replenished some of your energy. Hurry up and find some clothes to put on, or you will catch a cold.

You are free now, you can leave if you want.

However, if you are still worried about this Chamber of Commerce, you can wait a while until my partners have dealt with the managers here, and then I will discuss with them how to send you back home. "

The slaves stared at Emily in amazement.

go home?

What a distant vocabulary.

"Goodbye, then?" Emily waved her arms a little harder.

The 'slaves' still stared at Emily blankly.

Emily: “…”

"goodbye?"

Emily repeated it once more, but still showed no intention of leaving.

This made the 'slaves' somewhat bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

Emily sighed and casually took out an ordinary robe from her space equipment - she naturally had space equipment, but the volume was completely incomparable to Ji Ruo's four-dimensional pocket, and there were not many things inside.

She covered a delicate-looking girl beside her with her robe and said, "My friends and I saved you. Don't you have anything to say to us?"

The girl felt Emily's kindness, subconsciously tightened the robe Emily gave her, and whispered, "Thank... Thank you."

"You are welcome!"

Emily finally smiled happily.

She is an elf, and her appearance can almost be described as perfect, without any flaws.

If it weren’t for my IQ, it would be hard to describe.

All in all, Emily had a beautiful smile.

The slaves were stunned.

suddenly--

The previous battle destroyed many magical lighting props, making this underground slave market a little dim.

At this moment, a soft emerald green light suddenly appeared on Emily's body, dispelling the darkness.

"oops!"

Emily screamed exaggeratedly, and a green women's belt appeared from the light, floating in front of Emily.

"Hahaha! I can transform too!"

She stopped pretending, laughed wildly, and used the belt to transform.

"Life Armor - Combine!"

Vines and beautiful flowers grew from the brick ground, surrounding Emily's body.

Skipping the special effects, Emily's armor is mainly in a healthy green color. The shoulder armor and the soles of the feet look like blooming flowers, and the breastplate is shaped like two inverted leaves. Of course, no skin is exposed.

Emily's suit is almost completely covered.

The reason why I say "almost" is because there is a gap on the back of his helmet that allows his smooth golden hair to show through.

Moreover, the shape of the gap is customizable - in simple terms, it can adjust the 'hair style'.

It looks very fancy.

"Hehehehe~ You're welcome, you're welcome. This is what I should do, hehehehe~"

Emily smiled foolishly and finally turned and left.

"Don't go yet! My partner has a door that can lead to anywhere. I'll ask if I can take you back. Thank you for the armor you gave me!"

The 'slaves' looked at each other in bewilderment.

The armor they gave me?

What does it have to do with them?

I always feel like this person is looking for some excuse from them...

…

"Ji Ruo Ji Ruo! Look at my armor! How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Emily showed her armor to everyone and said proudly: "This was given to me by those poor people!"

"They gave it to you?" Sheila chuckled, "So that's why. You didn't let us go with you, and you said you were worried that the manager would run away... Tsk tsk, so that's what you were thinking.

You just want to find an excuse to make this temporary armor you came up with!"

"Nonsense!" Emily denied, "I have been designing this armor for a long time!"

"…So you're looking for an excuse, right?"

Emily quickly covered her mouth: "Oh no! I let it slip..."

Nancy looked at Emily's armor with envy and said, "Sister Emily, your armor is so beautiful."

"Hehe, little Nancy is really good at knowing what's good." Emily smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Nancy's cheek, saying, "When you grow up, I'll give you a set too!"

"Thank you, Sister Emily!"

Ash was also a little jealous.

He looked around and suddenly whispered to Liang Shixian, "Brother squad leader, your armor looks great too."

Ji Ruo: “?”

Hey guys, you’re asking others for armor in front of your own god?

Is this what is called a 'saint'?

You are amazing, Ash!

Liang Shixian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He coughed and said, "Ash, I can't give my armor away. If you want it, go talk to your Lord."

"My Lord..." Ash took a look at Ji Ruo's armor, his face showing a conflicted look.

Ji Ruo was speechless.

To be honest, the lines of his armor are smoother, and the various decorations and color schemes are much better than Liang Shixian's diamond armor.

But, I look a bit thin...

If the diamond armor is heavy armor, then Ji Ruo's young hero armor is light armor, the difference is quite big.

Maybe for Ash, the diamond armor may look stronger and more handsome, after all, everyone has different aesthetic tastes.

The diamond armor cannot be given to others because it is Liang Shixian's divinity - because he is not a native of the Mother Earth Continent, and the secret realm of the Mother Earth Continent was sealed by Ji Ruo halfway through its descent, and it has not yet fully descended.

Therefore, the belief in Shinto rules is not fully integrated with the main plane, and the method of becoming a god on the Mother Earth Continent is not completely suitable for the people of Daxia.

Liang Se-hyun has become a god, but the one who became a god is Liang Se-hyun wearing diamond armor, not ordinary Liang Se-hyun.

That's about it.

"Okay, okay, just eat your meal well and be obedient, and I'll get you a set later." Ji Ruo said unhappily.

"Thank you, Prince Stove!" Ash said in surprise.

…

Under the leadership of Mosquito, everyone walked towards the depths of this underground slave market.

The "slaves" are no longer limited to humans. There are even humanoid monsters such as goblins and trolls wearing shackles and obviously taking some kind of drugs.

Without exception, these monsters are naked and most of them are male.

Although from a human perspective, these monsters, even if they have been carefully selected, still look ugly, but the reason they appear here is obviously not because of their appearance.

It's because the thing is so big...

“How disgusting!”

Liang Shixian spat secretly, turned around and pulled Ji Ruo back from a certain "display cabinet" where he was carefully observing the goblin on the counter, and said, "Ji Ruo, what are you looking at this thing for!"

Ji Ruo touched his chin and said, "Squad leader, there are male goblins and trolls for sale here. I can understand and roughly guess their uses, but I can't figure out why there are also female goblins and trolls?

Will anyone really buy this? What kind of customer would buy this? What flavor would it be?

Tim said enthusiastically: "Brother Ji Ruo, I have relevant 'records' here, if you want me to search for them, I will show them to you... wuwuwu!"

Sheila covered Tim's mouth expressionlessly and said, "Okay, stop talking. Don't search for that kind of thing! And you, Ji Ruo, I hope the person you like can at least be a person!"

"?"

Ji Ruo was confused: "Why don't I like people? Did you misunderstand something? I'm just curious!"

After Tim acquired divine power, it became much easier to query the information in the underground veins.

According to the 'local records' Tim found, the manager of the slave market did not leave, but stayed where he was, with no intention of escaping.

So people are not in a hurry. If they see humans, they will rescue them. If they are not humans, they will just watch them. After all, they are monsters and it is not safe to let them out.

This is the imperial capital. Neither the monsters themselves nor the people of the imperial capital are safe.

Walking, looking and chatting along the way is a way to increase your knowledge.

As we go deeper and deeper, we even see some beastmen that conform to human aesthetics!

What does it mean?

It's probably the kind of person who has beast ears and a beast tail, a real exotic style.

However, these beastmen seemed to have been given some kind of drug and their minds were not very clear.

Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian are very interested in this beastman, and even Emily and Sheila...

"Wait a minute." Ji Ruo asked doubtfully, "Have you two never seen this kind of beastman before?"

"Of course not!" Emily observed carefully with a curious look on her face: "I have always thought that orcs are legendary creatures. I still remember the first time I saw this kind of creature in a novel, I tried to create it with the 'power of life'.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work.”

"Even you didn't create it?" Ji Ruo was even more surprised: "Then how did they come from?"

"How should I know?" Emily rolled her eyes. "You don't think it's easy to create life, do you?"

Ji Ruo thought about it and agreed: "It is indeed not easy. At least you need to have a partner... Finding a partner is the most difficult thing in the world."

Emily's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she said, "Then Ji Ruo, what do you think of me?"

"What's up?"

"You said you were going to find a partner! What about me?"

"You want to find someone too?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then go find it!"

"???"

Emily got angry, and Ji Ruo bent down and grabbed the "glass cover" to let the orc out.

Although the other party was naked and seemed to have taken a lot of special medicines, there was no trace of charm in Ji Ruo's eyes, only strong curiosity.

"Emily, use a skill to help purify it. I want to talk to her."

Emily shook her head angrily: "No!"

Ji Ruo: “?”

"Then you come, Rosie, and help stimulate her so that she can wake up."

"Good! Master, please look at me!"

Rosie said, switching talents.

She doesn't know how to detoxify, but that's okay, she's gifted, just give it a try.

After a moment, the beastman cried out in pain and came to his senses.

"Hello, my name is——" Ji Ruo was about to say hello.

"Hoo! (Hungry, eat!)"

The beastman who was free from the control of drugs no longer had any clarity in his eyes. He was filled with wild animality. Driven by instinct, he bit towards Ji Ruo's throat.

"Click~"

Ji Ruojin's magic power protects his body, and the beautiful beastman's tooth is broken...

"Hey! I let you out and you still bite me?"

Ji Ruo was immediately put in a difficult position by the orc: "Calm down, we are not bad people, we just want to talk to you... Shut up! Stop spitting! Who the hell are you!"

At this time, after finding the search results, Tim looked up and said, "Brother Ji Ruo, don't waste your energy. You can't communicate with this guy. These so-called orcs are the products of the Alchemy Cult's 'Life Formation'."

"No way to communicate? I don't believe it!"
