Episode 9 – Famous Under Heaven Chapter 44 – Slaves

“Old Four isn’t dead?” The shocked Linley blurted out, but he reacted immediately afterward, “You’re saying that Reno, he’s not dead?”

At this moment, Lin Lei’s heart fluttered, fluttered extremely fast beating, surprise, nervousness, disbelief, excitement, trepidation …… all kinds of emotions surged into Lin Lei’s chest at once, Lin Lei could only look forward to looking at this Luo Ao Empire’s officer in front of him at this moment.

Hooker covered his throat and said in a panicked rush, “Yes, he didn’t die, he really didn’t die.”

“Hooker, when you reported your military achievements, didn’t you say that the first captain you captured was dead?” Not far away, Legionnaire Shasta frowned and droned.

It was unwise to deceive a Saint realm powerhouse, and Shasta even went so far as to think that this Hooker hadn’t deliberately fabricated it for fear of death.

Linley also looked towards Hooker, he really hoped that Hooker wasn’t fabricating lies.

“Speak quickly.” Linley’s gaze stared at Hooker, while the gazes of everyone in the entire chaotic military camp were gathered on Hooker, who straightened his body and hurriedly defended himself, “Master Linley, I really didn’t lie. At first, I carried the corpse of that great captain, that is, the corpse of Reno that you mentioned. But then I realized that the corpse had actually moved. That’s when I realized that he wasn’t even dead!”

Linley’s heart convulsed viciously.

Silk of embarrassment appeared on Hooker’s face as he said, “Grandmaster Linley, that Reno is very handsome, and he’s also a noble magician. Based on the magic he cast as our brothers chased him all the way, he should be a rank seven magician. Handsome seventh level magician youth. That’s very valuable in the slave market.”

Hearing this, Linley already understood in his heart.

A large number of the surrounding officers also understood in their hearts that during times of war, a large number of slaves would often be obtained, and these slaves would then be sold to some slave-trading organizations. The army has a good friendship with these organizations, the handsome youth of the seventh level magician. The handsome young man who is a level seven magician is indeed a valuable commodity.

A level 7 magician is a high ranking magician.

To have such a magician, become one’s slave. Especially some of the noblewomen were still very fond of it. Willing to spend huge amounts of money to buy them. The price of selling such a seventh level magician was feared to be much more than the reward Hooker received in the army.

“Are you saying …… that you sold Reno to a slave trafficking organization?” Linley pursued.

“Yes.” Hooker said in fear, he was now aware that that Reynolds was actually a brother of Master Linley’s land.

“Is Reynolds seriously injured?” Linley said worriedly, inferring from the intelligence message that Reynolds had suffered a near-fatal serious injury. Linley was a little worried. Hooker said with all certainty, “Master Linley, please rest assured. That Reno, when I brought him back to the city, I immediately had someone treat him. And after selling it to the slave trafficking organization, that slave trafficking organization, they definitely won’t let this kind of important cargo lose its little life.”

Important goods?

In the bottom of Linley’s heart, he was also worried about his own good brother. Reno had actually been reduced to the point of being a slave.

“Go. You accompany me to that slave organization, you should know where that slave organization is.” Linley grabbed Hooker’s clothes, and Hooker hurriedly said, “Yes, I remember it clearly.”

Next to him, Shasta also chortled, “Hooker, from now on, you’ll follow Master Linley, whatever Master Linley asks, you must obey.” Shasta looked towards Linley and said humbly. “Master Linley. I’m really sorry. I hope you don’t mind too much.”

Shasta actually couldn’t help it.

Normally when there was a war, one wouldn’t dare to involve the relatives and brothers of a Saint realm powerhouse. After all, it was a terrifying thing for a Saint Domain powerhouse to go mad.

In history, Saint Domain powerhouses had killed tens of thousands of people in a single breath. And quite a lot.

However, Saint realm powerhouses were generally very noble, as long as you didn’t mess with him, he wouldn’t stoop to the level of a commoner. Linley glanced at Shasta before grabbing Hooker: “Go!” The entire person directly rose up into the air, before flying parallel toward the south along with Bebe ……

Watching Linley fly away, everyone in the entire barracks breathed a sigh of relief. In the face of a powerful Saint realm powerhouse, those warriors on the field were indeed powerless to resist.

“Several division commanders, quickly go control your men. I’m worried that the Golden Flame Legion took advantage of the fire.” Shasta’s heart was also worried as he watched the military camp in shambles at the moment. After all, the barracks were in disarray now, and the morale of the soldiers had been shaken by Linley.

Shasta’s guess was right, before long, the Golden Flame Legion had launched another ferocious attack.

In the border city of the Luo Ao Empire, Linley grabbed Hooker and descended directly into a seemingly ordinary mansion, which also had some well-equipped guards inside.

“Hoo!” A whirlwind rose from the flat ground, and Linley, who had resumed his human form, grabbed Hooker and appeared on the ground. At this time, Linley was no longer as grief-stricken and maniacal as he had been in the beginning when he wanted to avenge his brother. The current him was much calmer.

No matter what, at least Old Four he wasn’t dead.

“Old Wyatt, Old Wyatt!” Hooker had just landed on the ground and shouted loudly at the top of his lungs. “What are you people?” Old Wyatt had not yet appeared, but a large circle of guards quickly appeared around him, all of which were armed and ready to strike at any time. And at this time from the side of the courtyard door walked in a silver-haired old man dressed as a gentleman, the silver-haired old man looked at Hooker and laughed loudly, “Oh, so it’s dear Hooker, why are you in such a hurry to barge right in?”

“Hooker, this is?” Old Mr. Wyatt’s vision could be venomous, his eyes discovering that the man next to him who was just wearing a black robe was not an ordinary person. Because of his return to human form, Linley wasn’t wearing anything at all on the inside, his lower half wearing a pair of tattered pants.

Linley frowned, coldly glancing at this old Wyatt.

“Old Wyatt, this is Master Linley!” Hooker said hurriedly.

“Master Linley?” Old Wyatt was stunned. Immediately, a look of shock appeared in his eyes, “Could it be the O’Brien Empire’s Earthly Dragonblood Warrior, Master Linley?”

Hooker even nodded his head, “I flew over even if I was led by Master Linley.”

Old Wyatt couldn’t believe it anymore, he was just the regional head of one of the slave trafficking organizations, how could he let a peak continental powerhouse like Linley come over?

“Old Wyatt ……,” Linley looked at Old Wyatt.

“Master Linley.” Old Wyatt was humble.

Linley directly opened the door, “Old Wyatt, about a month ago, Hooker, he should have sold you a youth who was a rank seven magus.”

Old Wyatt glanced at Hooker. Finally nodding to Linley, “Yes.”

“This rank seven magician, his name is Reno! It’s my Linley’s brother!” Linley’s voice was flat, but those ice-cold eyes were looking at Old White.

Old Wyatt’s eyes instantly glazed over, “Lin, Master Linley’s brother?” Old Wyatt’s eyes were filled with surprise, horror, and disbelief.

They, the Slave Trafficking Organization, although their strength was considered strong and they had some relationship with the four major assassin organizations. But as strong as they were, they didn’t dare offend a Saint Realm powerhouse, let alone an existence like Linley, who was at the peak level of Saint Realm powerhouses!

“Hooker, you—” Old Wyatt glared angrily at Hooker.

That Reno could be the one that Hooker had sold to their organization, it wasn’t good to sell anyone, the sons of the great families. Their slave organization also dared to sell. But surprisingly, it was the brother of a Saint Domain powerhouse.

Hooker’s face was filled with a bitter smile.

He didn’t know ah, he knew, he still dared to mess with Reno? Right now, his little life was still in Linley’s hands.

“Old Wyatt.” Linley spoke out.

Old Wyatt reacted extremely quickly. Hurriedly, he said to Linley, “Master Linley. Please rest assured, since this Reno is Master Linley’s brother, our organization will definitely not do anything more to Mr. Reno. I will immediately send someone to send a message back to the organization’s headquarters ……”

“What’s going on? Where is he now, Reno?” Linley asked after him.

“This, this ……” Old White had a trace of panic on his face, after all, it had been almost a month since Reno had been captured and sold as a slave.

Linley also felt something bad in the bottom of his heart, and immediately bellowed, “Speak!” Old Wyatt also felt a moment of panic in his heart, if a Saint realm powerhouse like Linley got angry, it was entirely possible that their slave trafficking organization would fall over in one fell swoop. Immediately, he hurriedly said: “Master Linley. When that Reno was sent to us, we first sent someone to treat his injuries, and then waited for about ten days. A large batch of slaves was transported away at once. And Mr. Renault was in that batch. Right now, according to my estimation, Mr. Reno has already arrived at our headquarters.”

“Headquarters?” Linley frowned.

Next to him, Hooker was puzzled, “Old Wyatt, what’s going on? Aren’t the slaves that your organization traffics sent directly to some slave market to be sold? Why are you still sending Mr. Renault to your headquarters?”

Old Wyatt said, “Normally slaves can be sold directly, but Mr. Renault is different. He is a seventh level magician! He is very dangerous, if we sell him to a customer and Mr. Renault sends out a magic spell and kills the customer, then our organization would have to lose money. Then our organization would have to lose money.”

Linley looked at Old White.

“Therefore, strong, threatening top-tier slaves like Mr. Renault are uniformly transported to the headquarters, trained for three months, trained so that they don’t dare to resist, they obediently listen to their master’s orders, before they are given directly to the guests.” Old White explained.

Linley’s face changed trained to not dare to resist, to obediently listen to their master’s orders? The object of training, or Reno this type of strong person …… Linley could completely imagine that kind of training ground terrible, dark.

“Where is your headquarters, quickly take me.” Linley’s face changed, and he immediately drank.

Old Wyatt hesitated slightly for a moment, but when he saw Linley’s terrifying eyes, he immediately nodded and said, “Yes, Master Linley, I will immediately take Master to the headquarters.” “The headquarters is in the belly of the Luo Ao Empire, and it’s also more than three thousand miles away from this border, according to the winding roads.” Old Wyatt said “Wouldn’t it be fine for my boss to directly take you flying?” Beside Beibei dissatisfied said. Bei Bei actually also worried about Renault, after all, when in the Ernst College of Magic, Bei Bei is also often with Renault together playful ground.

Old Wyatt even nodded his head, not daring to say anything.

“Master Linley, I don’t need to go along, right?” Hooker was at the side, his heart terrified.

Linley turned his head to look at this Hooker, nowadays, Reno was afraid that he was undergoing inhuman torture at the headquarters of the Slave Trade Organization, and just thinking about it, Linley had a trace of resentment in the bottom of his heart.

“Puff —-” a claw shadow flashed, Hooker covered his throat in horror, but his throat was still gurgling with blood, and in the blink of an eye, Hooker collapsed to the ground with a bang.

Bebe levitated in the air, glancing at Hooker with dissatisfaction: ”You bastard guy, you still want to save your life, really fucking dream? You must have had a lot of pain when you killed that brigade of Reno’s soldiers of theirs, I, Bebe, will let you have some pain today as well.”

Seeing this scene, that old Wyatt’s body was trembling slightly.

“Old man, don’t be afraid, as long as you obediently listen to my boss, I, Bebe, won’t bully you ah.” Bebe grinned, revealing sharp teeth. Old Wyatt had heard that at the end of Linley’s battle with Hedson, Linley’s two Saint Realm magical beasts had suddenly appeared, and one of them, which was similar to a rat-like magical beast, had easily ravaged Hedson. Old Wyatt looked at the levitating Bebe, and in his heart, he somewhat realized that this Bebe, I’m afraid, was that terrifying magical beast.

Old Wyatt could only try to squeeze out a smile at Bebe in horror.

Linley, however, grabbed Old Wyatt and his entire body rose into the air at great speed, flying towards the southeast: “Old Wyatt, show me the way!” Old Wyatt, who was in a state of shock, swallowed his throat and pointed out the direction to the headquarters after glancing downwards.

Chapter 45 – Cruelty.

Time returned to September 21st, 10009 of the Yulan Calendar, and by this time, several days had passed since Walden and Nina’s wedding. At this time, Linley also thought that Reno was really dead.

However ……

“This is the third day on the ship, and just now those bastards abused another poor slave to death and threw him into the Bonai River.” Reno looked out through the barred window as a strong-looking, blood-stained body was thrown into the Bonnet River, a human life, just causing a flutter.

Reno had seen the lowliness of human life in the army.

However, during this escorted journey, the horror of these slavers still shocked Reno. Luckily, he, Reno, belonged to the top most valuable goods, and those slaves didn’t dare to kill him.

“Pah!” A whip fiercely lashed at Reno’s body, the end of the long whip was even lashed to Reno’s face skin, Reno’s face immediately had blood seeping out, and his body under the cover of his tattered clothes was also full of all kinds of wounds.

“Damn, what are you looking at?” One of the big men in the cabin grabbed the whip and shouted angrily at Reno.

Reno could only curl up in the corner of the cabin, not daring to say anything at all. He has already learned to be good, if he pretends to be hard and glares at the other party, then …… I am afraid that he will be tortured all night.

This large ship transporting slaves is very large, the bottom cabin holds those lowest level slaves, and the trafficked organization’s thugs also go in from time to time to patrol, or see who is not good, and then greatly out.

Reno belonged to the top class of slaves. He was kept in a special room on the second floor, where the windows were guarded with iron bars. At the same time, there were also two thugs guarding the side.

The other rooms on the second floor were inhabited by many thugs.

On the third level, amongst this topmost layer, were the head figures of this transportation team, an eighth level powerhouse and two seventh level powerhouses. If it wasn’t for Reno. This transportation team wouldn’t have sent a rank eight powerhouse.

On the deck of this large ship, a tall bald man walked down from the third level cabin.

“Lord Pierre.” The surrounding ground fighters immediately said respectfully.

This bald man glanced at those bloodstains on the deck and frowned, “Rinse the bloodstains for me, also, slaves are worth fucking money, one by one, be careful with your strikes, don’t kill them, the organization has to lose some money if they kill a slave.”

Those beaters didn’t dare to make a sound.

The bald man grunted, then walked to the chains. Blowing the cool evening breeze, he looked at the beautiful night view of the Bonnet River.

“By the way, how is that magician doing?” The bald man hummed. Immediately, a fighter beside him fawned and said, “Lord Pierre, that magician little white boy. He was condescending at first. After the brothers’ lessons these days, he’s already very sensible.”

“Very well.”

The bald man said indifferently, “Each of you be careful and watch that magician. The most valuable of the goods we are escorting this time is this rank seven magician. And by the looks of it, this magician is also a noble. When we sell it, the price is not normally high.”

Those fighters also nodded their heads.

A young rank seven magician was definitely the top goods in the slave market, more maddening than a beautiful virgin.

“What’s that sound?” The bald man’s brows suddenly furrowed. Steeply turning his head in the direction of the cabin on the lowest floor. “That sick bastard keeps humming, drag him out for me, damn it. It’s annoying.” A bloodthirsty red light appeared in the bald man’s eyes.

Just a moment later, a skinny youth was dragged out, he looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, his body had a foul smell and blood stains, at this moment, this youth’s gaze was a bit dull, these days of escorting, it really drove him crazy, he was just a young man who went out of his hometown to look for his dreams, but who would have thought that he would be captured and sold to the slavery organization, and the nightmare descended on him.

“Eh?” The bald man reached out his hand, and the beaters next to him very sensibly handed over the whip.

Taking the whip, the bald man flung it out of thin air, the whip made a crisp sound in the air, and that skinny youth suddenly had a hint of panic in his somewhat stagnant gaze.

“Not dead what are you humming down there? Laozi’s good mood is all ruined for you.” The bald man grabbed the whip, and then ruthlessly lashed at this skinny youth.

This whip, can be much more ruthless than the ordinary beaters.

The skinny youth’s whole body trembled violently, a horribly indented whip mark appeared from his face to his waist, blood gurgled out, and his clothes had long been torn beyond recognition.

“Snap!” “Snap!” “Snap!” “Snap!” ……

This bald man smacked ruthlessly, completely venting on this poor youth, who was very experienced in immediately protecting his head and curling his entire body on the ground. According to his thoughts, as long as he held on, his little life might still be saved.

Unfortunately, this bald man didn’t dare to kill Reno, but he dared to kill him.

“Lord Peel, he’s out of breath.” The ground fighter beside him whispered.

This bald man casually threw the blood-stained whip to the nearby fighter, and then stretched towards the waves of the river: “Oooh, this feels really good, you guys, throw this trash down for me. Also, get the ground hosed down for me.”

“Yes, Lord Peel.” The surrounding fighters all did their work very quickly.

“Pfft!” With a sound, another body was thrown down the river.

Usually with the hundreds of slaves escorted each time, there would always be a dozen or so that would be abused and killed during transportation. The ones that would be killed by the thugs were also the ones with weak bodies. The ones with strong bodies were still able to resist. So the trafficking organization, it didn’t lose much. One.” Reno sighed in his heart, he didn’t expect that he had escaped with his life under Neil’s City, but he had been reduced to this state.

Reno didn’t know what would happen to him in the future.

“Being a slave?” Reno thought of the lowly, dark days of a slave. It was a heart palpitation.

“Little white boy, what are your lips moving for? Want to send out magic?” A furious shout, followed by a snap is a whip, hard when the head on the whip over, this time the whip really hit Reno face.

Pain, humiliation!

These thugs, obviously knew that Reno was a seventh level magician. Those lowly thugs all wanted to whip Renault some more. So as to satisfy their vanity.

“Damn it, get lost.” Reno was truly enraged.

The more he endured, the more excessive the other party became.

“Ouch!” The flogger who grabbed the whip raised his eyebrows and looked at Reno with a crooked mouth, “Still arrogant?” Saying that, he was about to whip over again.

Reynolds eyes revealed a hint of tyrannical gaze, lips quickly recited a magic incantation.

“Boom!” A head-sized fiery fireball centered on Reno, madly surging towards those two fighters, in the twinkling of an eye a dozen fireballs completely surrounded those two fighters.

“Ah.” The two fighters immediately screamed miserably, their whole body was burning with flames, and these flames were much hotter than the flames of normal wood burning. The skin on the two fighters’ bodies quickly burned, and they were lifeless for a moment.

Reno had just sent out this magic and was directly rushing towards the outside.

But at this time-

“Pom!” A large hole steeply appeared above this room, and a one-eyed man in red robes landed in the room. With a flash of his figure, he arrived in front of Reno. With a single kick, he kicked at Reno’s body.

“Peng!” Reno crashed heavily into the corner of the cabin, blood spraying all over the place.

This red-haired robed one-eyed man, looked back at the two burnt corpses and stared coldly at Reno: “You seek death!” Reno also stared back at the red-haired robed one-eyed man.

“No wonder the organization wants special training for three months, they are all a cheap bastard.” This one-eyed man cursed, such as the seventh level magician and some other strong people, although they were caught, it was very difficult to make them not dare to resist from the depths of their hearts. It pissed them off. They would then fight for their lives.

A few moments later-

Several beaters then grabbed Reno’s limbs. Making Reno unable to move. The red-robed one-eyed man, as well as the other two bald men, were coldly staring at Reno. “Little white boy. I’ve reminded you to give me some peace on this cabin, but you, you’ve made me angry.” The red robed one-eyed man said in a cold voice, “Pierre, let him learn a lesson.”

Reno’s face immediately paled.

He recalled this one-eyed man’s threat back then, and in horror, Reno immediately stared wide-eyed, but the bald man, Pierre, laughed evilly as he walked over, “Give me one of his hands to hold him down there.” Immediately a thug grabbed Reno’s hand and pressed it to the deck.

Pierre took an iron clamp from the side that was on the cabin, specially used to clamp off steel bars, that iron clamp clamped two fingers of Reno’s ground at once, feeling the coldness coming from his fingers, Reno’s heart trembled.

“Hmph, clip!” The one-eyed man coldly grunted.

That iron clamp clamped down at once, as if scissors cut through cloth, Reno’s two fingers were immediately cut off, blood immediately gushed out, the piercing pain made Reno wail.

Cutting a knife on his body was not as painful as clipping his fingers.

Hearing Reno’s wail, the surrounding beaters but all excited, that one-eyed man coldly snorted and said, “Little white boy, give me to remember, today is just a to give you a small lesson, if there is a next time, I will surely let you …… unforgettable for a lifetime!” After saying that, this one-eyed man turned his head and walked out. Reynolds curled up in the cold corner, his body are slightly trembling, his left hand finger break has been crusted with blood. The two thugs next to him looked at him from time to time, with a hint of madness in their eyes.

Reno had killed two of their brothers, these beaters could all have some hatred for Reno.

“Damn, little white boy.”

A whip shadow and whip over, and to Renault’s injured hand over, Renault efforts to hide the injured hand to the back, but that whip still has a place to whip to the injured hand. Intense pain came …… that wound broke again, especially when it was drawn to the broken bone, once again piercing pain came. As if another amputation of the finger.

“Well, stop fighting.” The ground fighter next to him said.

In fact, the two fighters were also worried about Linley going crazy and casting magic again, but the fighter who had just beaten Reno was very close to one of the dead fighters and naturally wanted to take revenge.

“No, I must escape.” Reno curled up in the corner of the cold ground and said in his heart, “If this kind of day goes on, I will go crazy.”

Reno knew that even if he held on, what greeted him would be nothing more than a life of slavery.

“Tomorrow, tomorrow when the ship docks for a rest, strike!” Reno couldn’t care how much, this line of boats actually docked and stopped once a day, one was to replenish some food, and that one-eyed man was not fond of dry food, preferring some fresh food, all of which was eaten ashore.

But that one-eyed man was also very cautious. He went ashore to eat while the other two level 7 powerhouses watched Reno.

Time passed very slowly, lying on the ground late at night, Reno felt more and more cold. In particular, there was a vague pain coming from the broken point of his finger. He gritted his teeth and endured it. Gradually the day dawned.

Those two beaters and occasionally whip Renault one or two lashes, Renault can only curl up in the corner, silently endure. He knew that he could not resist, the first time he resisted was two fingers, and the next time he resisted …… I am afraid that it will really be as that one eyed man said, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime!

Reynolds waited quietly, waiting for the boat to dock.

For a long, long time ……

“Docked.” A loud voice came from the deck, and just a moment later footsteps rang out from above, clearly all three of the strongest men had walked down.

“Pierre, you two watch here, I’ll go down and rest for a while, I’ll come and replace you two later.” That one-eyed man’s rang out.

“My lord, feel free to rest assured.” Pierre’s voice also rang out.

Hearing a sound of footsteps ringing out, all of them leaving the big ship, Reno’s heart then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes closed, the plan to escape once again surfaced in his mind.

The plan is very dangerous, but he must fight.

Glanced at the side of the two beaters, Renault huddled in the corner, lowered his head, lips began to move slightly ……
