Chapter 441 (1/2)
Chapter 441: Liliana
“Brother CloudDragon is as fabulous as ever…” Ye Cang’s words made CloudDragon feel somewhat disgusted. Where would you find someone who compliments a man with the word fabulous?
The passing pedestrians looked at the two strangely. “It’s BL…”
“I’ll get straight to the point, I want to invest in White Stone City’s goddess association…” CloudDragon felt the hot gaze of the pedestrians around them, especially from the fujoshi. They were surrounded by a huge crowd and it was still increasing without limit. The power of gossip and rumors was more potent than he imagined.
“That’s no problem. Later, I’ll have Little Tian discus it with you. For now, is Brother CloudDragon interested in the high-end auction?” Ye Cang’s words attracted CloudDragon’s attention. The high-end auction house? With his current status, he couldn’t enter yet but Ye Cang’s status was actually high enough as a viscount. He nodded.
The two of them walked up to the high-end auction house. The guards took one look at Ye Cang’s viscount medal, saw nothing wrong, and allowed the two of them in.
The current auction was not selling items, but people. Ye Cang frowned. White Stone City still has slavery? He had never seen it before in Black Rock City.
“White Stone City and Black rock City are both on the edges of the Planetary Empire, so slavery is still common…” CloudDragon had seen some unfortunate elves and humans being transported before, while leveling.
“We’re now auctioning a female elf, surely no more explanation is required. Starting bid of 200 gold!” The auctioneer pointed at a female elf dressed in dregs. Though her long green hair, body, and face were all dirty, it was still obvious that she was a very attractive female elf.
“200 gold.” Ye Cang took the initiative to bid.
CloudDragon crossed his arms and smiled. A gamble? Gambling whether or not there will be a hidden quest? This guy sure is rich, 200 gold didn’t even make him hesitate. He immediately recalled the amplification devices and soldier food, then shook his head, smiling bitterly.
“300!”
“310!”
Looking at the pitiful female elf, Ye Cang recalled how his granny had picked him up by a riverside. Clenching his teeth, he called out 500 gold. This was most of the funds he had on him, the rest was still with Rica and Little Ye Tian.
No one bid after that.
“Congratulations, you’ve obtained a follower.”
The guards sent the female elf to Ye Cang. Ye Cang grabbed the iron shackles and tore them off. The female elf examined Ye Cang with her two eyes and exclaimed in fright, “You are…”
“Don’t say it!” Ye Cang shouted lightly. The female elf quickly shut her mouth and nodded.
CloudDragon raised an eyebrow. Oh, something’s up? You are… they know each other? No, then it must have to do with race. He recalled Ye Cang’s night vision and language abilities. Half elf? That must be what she wanted to say and it’s true that half elves are relatively taboo. Though it is much better now than in the past but they are still existences that are discriminated against.
“What’s your name?” Ye Cang asked.
“Liliana,” The female elf said her name.
“Mm, for now, work for me. I’m conveniently lacking a receptionist at the association, I’ll doll you up and train you…” Ye Cang said, not planning to listen to her life story. He could imagine how tragic it was.
Liliana didn’t understand, but still nodded. “Thank you…”
