Aiolos's awesomeness did not change everyone's view of humans. Over the past year, every one or two months, a few humans who looked like beggars would come here to borrow money from Aiolos. Furthermore, Aiolos did not reject any of them. He did not care about money at all. In essence, Aiolos only recognized power.
This was the key to survival. The harsher the conditions were, the more training he would receive. However, he did not expect others to be like him. In reality, he was not muddle-headed. Instead, he saw things clearly. However, he was different from Wang Zhong. He was too lazy to change others. He could only do his best.
Every time he saw Aiolos tighten his belt and live his life, Tsarilorhuan would mock him. Although he was mocking him, he admired him in his heart. A weak civilization indeed needed to be united. However, these people were too disappointing. Not everyone was lucky enough to be born in a high-leveled civilization.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that it has been two months since someone from your race came to look for you," Tsarilorhuan suddenly said as he drank a few cups of wine. Recently, Aiolos had treated him to many drinks.
Aiolos smiled and said, "Your sentence is almost up, right? What are your plans? "
As a member of the Titan race from a level-7 civilization, Tsarilorhuan obviously did not belong in a place like the battlefield. However, this fellow had killed people from other aristocratic civilizations. According to the laws of the divine territory, he was demoted to a commoner and had to do labor for a year!
If ordinary aristocrats were sentenced to labor, they would basically go to public facilities in the Star Alliance to perform services. For example, high-level Star Alliance receptionists or high-level Star Alliance bodyguards … However, Tsarilorhuan was not willing to embarrass the Titans and would rather come here to do hard labor.
"You want me to help you find out information? However, to be honest, rather than finding out so much information that will disturb your cultivation, you might as well cultivate as soon as possible and become a true expert. This is the only path to change humans. If you walk the path of individual experts, you can advance to a level-5 civilization. In reality, there are many level-5 civilizations like this in the Star Alliance. They are weak as a whole, but they have a few influential experts in the divine territory. Thus, their entire civilization will advance. "
"When a man achieves success, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven?" Aiolos said emotionally.
"What do you mean by chickens and dogs ascending to the heavens? The chicken race and the dog race are much stronger than you humans … Forget it, that's roughly what you mean. You should be the most hopeful among you humans."
Aioros was startled for a moment. Then, he smiled and shook his head. "I am indeed very confident in myself. However, the person with the most hope is not me. I have two younger brothers who are much stronger than me."
Tsarilorhuan was surprised. "Could it be that there are humans with more potential than you? Are you boasting?"
Over the past year, he had tested Aioros many times. This fellow's body was rather abnormal. Not only did he have an astonishing regenerative ability, but his radiation resistance was also extremely strong. He could not be killed or destroyed. Most importantly, he was focused on his target and could endure. To be honest, he suspected that this fellow was a member of the Goblin Race in human skin, missing a tail or a horn.
Aiolos laughed. "Tsari, do you dare to make a bet? Within three years, the entire divine territory will know of the three Earth brothers?"
This was the first time that Tsarilorhuan felt a bone-deep pride from Aiolos's gaze. From the very beginning, this human had looked down on the other high-leveled races.
When Wang Zhong slowly woke up, he realized that he had been thrown into a small and narrow room. His head was still in pain. He knew that he had been impulsive just now, but no matter what, he could not see Carolyn being sold like a piece of livestock.
From afar, he could hear the large black Cow scolding someone from outside the flower shop. It seemed like Little Lost Fox had done something wrong again. Wang Zhong rubbed his forehead and climbed up. His head was still a little dizzy, and there was a pain at the back of his neck. The blow he had suffered at the slave market had not been light.
He pushed open the small door of the room and walked out. The large black Cow had stopped scolding and glanced at him. "You're awake? Come upstairs! "
As he spoke, the large black Cow simply turned around and went upstairs. Meanwhile, Little Lost Fox cautiously looked upstairs and stuck out her tongue. "Wang Zhong, did you cause trouble? The Demon Bull King seems to be in a particularly bad mood today! Just now, I … Eh? Why was I scolded just now? Oh … Anyway, you have to be careful! "
Little Lost Fox had a concerned expression. Wang Zhong wanted to smile at her, but when he thought about Carolyn at the slave market, he felt that his heart was slightly heavy and could not smile. To the people in the divine territory, perhaps they were just slaves and were no different from the ants on the ground or the lunchboxes in fast food restaurants. However, to Wang Zhong, they were familiar and living people. It might be better if they were strangers, but after all, they were Carolyn. The current situation of the Earthlings in the divine territory would only be worse than what the Patriarch Society had said.
The great black yak looked at him calmly, crossing his legs again and again.
After staying in the Heavenly Treasures Street for a long time, he had seen too many of these people. They had once been outstanding in their respective civilizations and were the pride of their generation. They had various kinds of arrogance and so-called perseverance. They believed that they should advance courageously wherever they wanted. Old Cow could understand the pride in the hearts of these people, but these people usually did not live for long in the divine territory.
Wang Zhong felt slightly awkward under his stare, mainly because the nostrils of the two cows in front of him were too big.
"Brother Cow, you were a little too heavy-handed." Wang Zhong rubbed the back of his neck.
"That's your cheap skin." Old Cow said, "1,000 Star Coins? You actually dared to shout that. Did you sell yourself? You are not even worth a fraction of that. "
Wang Zhong helplessly shrugged his shoulders. "That girl was my first love. Although we broke up, as a man, what do you think I should do?"
Old Cow was dumbfounded. From the very beginning, he felt that Wang Zhong was not an idiot. No wonder. The anger in his heart gradually disappeared. He had planned to chase Wang Zhong away, but after thinking about it, if Wang Zhong could turn around and leave in such a situation, he would probably look down on Wang Zhong.
"People like you." Old Cow shook his head. "You cause a lot of trouble and cause a lot of trouble."
Pa.
A heavy small bag was thrown on the table.
"Honestly speaking, you have saved me a lot of trouble during your time at the flower shop. You are a clever helper. Thus, I will give you two choices. " Old Cow said, "First, I will not accept people who do not know who they are. Take these 50 Star Coins and make a living. This is considered a mutual favor. I, Old Cow, do things fairly."
Severance pay? Frankly speaking, with Old Cow's personality, this was as if the sun had risen from the west. However, Wang Zhong was not surprised. After staying here for such a long time, he still had some judgment.
Old Cow's stinginess was a habit. He was also very stingy with himself. However, to be honest, his heart was not bad. If not, with the things that Little Lost Fox had broken in the flower shop, her salary would not have been enough to compensate for them. However, Old Cow had always taken her in.
If Old Cow was truly a cold and emotionless person, he would not have taken Wang Zhong in. Wang Zhong knew that Old Cow was covering up for him by asking him to work and compensate for the broken flower vase. Just like in the Heavenly Treasures Street, Old Cow could have simply ignored everything, but he still brought Wang Zhong back. After all, in Old Cow's opinion, Wang Zhong did not have 1,000 Star Coins to buy people. If he spoke empty words but did not have the money, he would die very miserably.
This kind of boss was very rare in the divine territory.
"What's the second choice?" Wang Zhong asked.
Old Cow threw out another small bag. It was also filled with Star Coins, but it was evidently less than the previous one. "I will give you a salary of 10 Star Coins every month. This is considered to be officially hiring you. Stay here and work hard. You will not spend a single coin for 10 years. Then, you can boast about buying a female slave with 1,000 Star Coins. However, don't blame me for reminding you that with your strength and identity, if you really bring 1,000 Star Coins to a place like the slave market, you will not be able to buy anything.
You will only be robbed! "" Kindness without judgment will only bring harm to the people around you. Do everything within your capabilities. I will not take in idiots who cannot see things clearly and always seek their own deaths. "
"Alright." Old Cow knocked on the table. "There are two bags. Take your pick."
Wang Zhong smiled and did not hesitate much. He stretched out his hand and took the bag with 10 Star Coins. Then, he bowed deeply at Old Cow. "Thank you, Boss."
When he saw that he had chosen to stay, Old Cow nodded in satisfaction. "Then, why are you still standing here? Do you want to take a break after being beaten? Get to work! "
His daily life in the flower shop continued. Old Cow was right. In a place like the divine territory, kindness without judgment would only bring disaster to the people around him. However, was he really going to ignore Carolyn?
Wang Zhong could not bear to do this, but what could he do? Was he really going to use the fragment world to exchange for her? He was afraid that he would be killed before he could exchange for her.
Compared to the Holy City, the Star Alliance was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. There was no pity between different races. If one wanted to possess something, one had to have the qualifications to protect it. Wang Zhong silently sighed. It looked like he could only think of other methods.
When the flower shop closed, the sky had completely darkened. He closed the shop and returned to his little nest in the attic. He concentrated his consciousness, and the light and shadows around him changed. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared in the fragment world. Perhaps he could only be more clear-headed in this place.
The bright space swept away the pitch-black haze outside. Just as Wang Zhong was about to lie down, he suddenly saw a bright purple object on the ground.
What was this?
Wang Zhong looked at it suspiciously for a long time. "Sky lantern fire wick?"
He couldn't blame his slow reaction. The thing on the ground did look similar to the fire wick of a sky lantern, but it was bigger. Furthermore, the fire wick of a sky lantern was red, but this thing was purple. Also, he had only thrown it away casually. How did it grow in by itself?
"Ah …" With Wang Zhong's current mental state and cultivation, there were very few things that could shock him. However, at that moment, he could not help but widen his mouth.
He had thrown in a dying sky lantern fire wick, but this thing that had appeared in front of him did not seem to be dying at all. On the contrary, it was full of energy and had even transformed!
However, he could clearly sense that the spiritual influence contained in this sky lantern fire wick had become several times more abundant. Not only was it abundant in spiritual influence, but the sky lantern fire wick was also a medicinal ingredient used to make pills. The reason why it was called a sky lantern fire wick was because of its four red stamens. They were long and thin and were the essence of the entire flower. They contained an abundance of fire elemental power. However, this mutated one had a total of 11 stamens. Furthermore, they were much thicker than ordinary stamens. They were purplish-red in color, and the spiritual influence that had gathered in the flower was so dense that it seemed as if water was about to drip out!
There was a rich floral fragrance in the air, as well as a strong smell of flames. Even the surrounding temperature had risen significantly.
Purple petals and 11 stamens. Furthermore, they were so thick …
Frankly speaking, Lao Wang did not dare to confirm what kind of species this was. Old Cow had countless sky lantern fire wicks, but such a mutated species had never appeared. However, there was no doubt that the value of this thing was definitely far above the sky lantern fire wick.
What was going on? What was going on?
After a moment of pleasant surprise, Wang Zhong was slightly dumbfounded. The only thing that he could think of that could have caused this was the Fate Stone above his head!
Even this collapsed fragment world had been reconstructed by the Fate Stone. What was the point of repairing a flower? The dignified Fate Stone was of such a high quality. How could it be useless after revealing itself? Wang Zhong had an idea of what was going on. However, now was not the time to investigate this.
Perhaps Carolyn could be saved. Even though he had never sold this thing before, with his knowledge and experience from working at Old Cow's flower shop, Wang Zhong could roughly estimate the value of this mutated sky lantern wick. It was at least around 300 Star Coins.
Saving people was the most important thing. With the slave traders, every minute that was delayed meant various variables.
Of course, there was definitely danger. Just as Old Cow had said, the wolf goblin looked like a greedy person. If he really used this thing to trade, it was possible that the wolf goblin would be tempted by his wealth and attack him viciously. He had to have a complete plan.
Wang Zhong muttered to himself and recalled the feeling he had when he faced the wolf goblin in the afternoon. He sensed the weak Soul Power circulating in his body, and a hastily customized plan gradually formed.
He could give it a try, but he had to hide it from Old Cow.
He patiently waited in the building for over an hour until he heard Old Cow's heavy and terrifying snoring that sounded like muffled thunder from the second floor. Then, Wang Zhong quietly climbed up and quietly left the flower shop.
The Heavenly Treasures Slave Market …
This was both the slave market and the red-light district of the Heavenly Treasures Street. There was no lack of nightlife here.
Although the sky was already dark, there were bright lights everywhere. The only difference was that the wooden sheds where the slaves were placed during the day were already empty. There were very few people who came to buy slaves at night. Most people came here to have fun at this time. Relying on his memory, he found the platform where the wolf goblin had sold Carolyn. Sure enough, there wasn't a single person there. He looked around the red-light district and asked around.
"Wolf goblin Basir? The one who sells female slaves? Heh heh, brother, why do you need to spend so much effort in the middle of the night? The girls in our shop range from eight to eight hundred years old. They can fly in the sky or run on the ground … "
He stuffed a Star Coin into the hand of the goblin with a mustache. The mustache weighed the coin in his hand and revealed a profound smile.
Wang Zhong simply threw another two Star Coins at him.
"Aiyo, it's good to be rich!" The mustache said. "Go out and turn left. Back Hall Street 381!"
Back Hall Street was a residential area. Anyone who could buy a house in the Catanlyke District was obviously not an ordinary person. Wealth was secondary. More importantly, one had to have status and background. There were many nouveau riche from level-4 and level-5 civilizations in the divine territory. They spent a large amount of Star Coins to buy a house but did not dare to write their name on the house. They lived in fear and were not protected by the laws of the Star Alliance. If they provoked someone one day and were reported, they would be fined and ordered to sell the house within a few months. If they were serious, their house would be confiscated. They did not care if they suffered losses or not.
Bang bang bang.
After knocking on the door for a long time, rumbling heavy footsteps sounded from inside. Closely after, the door was pulled open with a bang. "It's the middle of the night. What the hell are you knocking for?!"
The person who had opened the door was wolf goblin Basir. He was naked, and his face was filled with displeasure. When he saw that the person who had knocked on the door was the Earthling from during the day, he was even more displeased. This little bastard had randomly shouted a high price of 1,000 Star Coins during the day and had worked together with the large black Cow to ruin his business. If he did not know that he could not provoke the Cow goblin, he would have killed them long ago.
"It's you, little fellow?!" Wolf goblin Basir opened his mouth and revealed a mouthful of shark-like teeth. A strong stench surged from his mouth, and a terrifying aura naturally spread from his body. As a result, Wang Zhong felt as if he was facing a ferocious beast from ancient times. It had a powerful sense of oppression and power and was about to choose a person to eat. "I didn't find trouble with you, but you actually dared to take the initiative to deliver yourself to me?! What do you want? I'll give you a chance. You better have something good. If not, I have never tasted the flesh of an Earthling before! "
Wang Zhong smiled. "We're talking about business. I want to buy that Earthling."
The wolf goblin was slightly dumbfounded. He really had not sold Carolyn. In the afternoon, after Old Cow had caused a ruckus in the market, even though a few people had offered a price, the highest price was only 150 Star Coins. This was not even enough to cover the cost of purchasing goods. Basir was so angry that he simply dragged Carolyn to the auction house, but the estimated price there was even lower. At most, they would offer 100 Star Coins. In the words of the auction house, this Earthling was too weak. Her physical quality did not reach the standards of an ordinary citizen in the divine territory. Thus, no buyer would be willing to pay a high price. Basir was also depressed. Just now, he had been drinking to drown his sorrows. He pondered whether he should casually deal with this cheap commodity tomorrow. If he lost some money, then so be it. He would buy a lesson. He swore that he would never touch an unlucky species like the Earthling again!
However, he did not expect that a sucker would appear now.
"Do you have money?" The aura on Basir's body retracted slightly. He was really hoping that this little fellow had money. It was obvious that this little fellow and that woman knew each other from the same race. They might even be lovers. It was the most profitable to do business with this kind of person. You could name the price.
"I don't have money." Wang Zhong's words caused Basir's expression to collapse. However, closely after …
"But I do have something else." Wang Zhong simply took out the mutated Heavenly Fire Wick from his clothes. "It depends on whether you have good eyesight."
Once the purplish-red Heavenly Fire Wick was exposed to the air, a rich wave of fire spiritual influence was immediately emitted, dispersing much of the coldness of the night. Wolf goblin Basir's eyes lit up. He recognized this item.
After all, Basir took the route of customizing high-end female slaves and often dealt with auction houses. He had participated in many large and small auctions. Coincidentally, he had seen the item in Wang Zhong's hands at an auction house before. This was the Thousand Red Purple Stamen, a mutated version of the Heavenly Fire Wick. It contained abundant fire spiritual influence and was a top-notch material for refining pills.
