Transcendent Noble - Chapter 863

The main city of Assyria is now very prosperous. The voices of people in the market and slave market are boiling, and the voices of traders and customers bargaining are heard all the time. The commodities traded include pottery pots, wood carvings and utensils; There are grain, fruit and animal meat; There are also gemstones, bone ornaments and tooth ornaments; There are also living lizards, monkeys, deer and feathered birds strung by straw ropes. The most popular commodities are slaves, including refugee slaves and savage slaves.

Refugee slaves sell themselves by themselves. They draw a straight red paint from their forehead to indicate that they have no owner for sale. If customers stop, they will enthusiastically and actively introduce their skills. But by contrast, customers prefer savage slaves.

The slave traders took the naked savages captive to the wooden platform, and the noble women wearing gorgeous ornaments stood under the platform to comment on the savages and laugh at them from time to time. The slave traders shouted at the top of their lungs. When the customers saw the savage slaves, they would compete to bid, and the highest bidder would take the savage slaves away. Those savages who were left unattended were untied by the disappointed slave traders, kicked off the high platform, and then replaced a group of savage prisoners to continue the auction. The savage captive who suddenly gained freedom was at a loss. He was kicked out of the market by customers, completely unaware that he had become an ownerless slave.

Todd mingled with the crowd and looked on coldly. For so many days, he had figured out the market rules of the Assyrians. Refugee slaves were like migrant workers led by Randall, and successful sellers were equivalent to tenants. Such slaves could own private property and their right to life was protected by law. When they have savings, they can spend money to buy themselves.

At present, the refugees in the city are overcrowded and supply exceeds demand, but the ransom of refugee slaves cannot be higher than three times the transaction price. This means that if noble families want to buy a skilled craftsman slave, they must offer a high price so that the craftsman slave can’t afford an expensive ransom. If the transaction price is too low, artisan slaves can easily pay a ransom and change their owners.

Savage slaves are slaves in the real sense and belong to the family property of Assyrian nobles. The money to buy a refugee slave can buy several savages. Of course, the upper class nobles give priority to savage captives.

The slave trade rules implemented by the Assyrians can absorb savages, cultivate craftsmen, create wealth, help poor families through buying, selling and redemption, gradually expand the population scale, and then open up new settlements to let the Assyrian society enter a virtuous circle. This is the policy pursued by kings of all dynasties, and a system has been formed in the hands of King mokemo.

Tao de doesn’t care whether king mokmo is wise and promising. He is sure that the noble families in Shangcheng district will take the initiative to solve the livelihood problems of refugee slaves. Because it is profitable to do so, even if the purchase of refugee slaves is a long-term investment, there will be a return of two or three times in the end.

Three days ago, the army of the main city of Assyria finally went to the zero wolf settlement under the leadership of the witch doctor queen to fight against the invading savage headhunters and orc attackers, including more than 2000 Assyrian soldiers and more than 100 huge corpse puppets wrapped in a shroud. In principle, Todd should wait for the wizard imosen to send back the conclusive news before starting the urban riots. But according to the transactions in the slave market, he thought it could not be delayed any longer.

There are fewer and fewer savage slaves in the market. When noble women have no savages to buy, they will turn their eyes to refugee slaves, and there are several people behind each slave. When the lives of refugees and slaves are settled and people in the lower urban area are determined, it will not be so easy for Todd to start chaos.

Todd decided to do it today. The target was a Zuling witch doctor who had to walk through the market every day.

More than a dozen strong Assyrian private soldiers with wooden sticks and stone hammers roughly pushed the crowd away and waded out a road in the crowded street, allowing the slide rods carried by four slaves to pass smoothly. The Zuling witch doctor sat on the chair of the slide rod. He looked in his prime. He wore a gray snake vulture tail feather crown. His face was thin and long. The pupils in his triangular eyes were condensed. His eyes looked ferocious, like a human poisonous snake. His whole body smelled greasy, cold and bloody. This is by no means a description of temperament, but an embodiment of the power that affects reality.

The hygienic environment of the Assyrian market is very poor. Animal and human excreta can be seen everywhere. Flies and mosquitoes fly everywhere, but none of them is 5 meters away from the witch doctor.

Todd deeply ignites the fire of the soul. He can do without adding feathers, but he won’t be like a witch doctor. He can isolate the harassment of mosquitoes only by his outward momentum. The ferocious warriors of silver level, red wolf and Marcy, can’t do this.

There is no doubt that the ancestral witch doctor has extraordinary power. Only the truly extraordinary have good political influence and the value of assassination.

Todd didn’t choose the wrong target. As for the identity, background and extraordinary ability of the Zuling witch doctor, the investigation team did not know anything. Because of time constraints and limited manpower, Todd and his team could only target the real extraordinary. Fortunately, the blood sacrifice ceremony held by the witch doctor every day is open. Todd and the red wolf observed for more than ten days and witnessed with their own eyes that the Zuling witch doctor cut the savage sacrifice and beheaded it, and then pressed the head of the sacrifice on the mound to make a terrible corpse puppet monster.

The Zuling witch doctor went to the sacrificial field in front of the temple every day to wake up several corpse puppets, which was naturally watched by Todd.

In addition to awakening the undead, the target character may also master other spells. Qualified assassins should investigate these problems before they start. Unfortunately, Todd and others do not have this condition. However, after all, they are the vassals cultivated by his highness Randall. The casters feared by ordinary people are not mysterious in their eyes. The power of the Zuling witch doctor is obvious, which shows that his control and application of spell like skills are very rough. His extraordinary power affects his mind and belongs to a relatively easy caster. In addition, there were several witch doctors who presided over the blood sacrifice ceremony. Because of their introverted strength, they looked no different from ordinary Assyrians, and Todd dared not make their ideas.

Except for a few exceptions, casters are generally fragile, and they especially rely on the protection of soldiers. The situation of the Assyrian witch doctor looks similar. The two beast spirit warriors around the witch doctor brought some pressure to Todd. In particular, the Assyrian warrior with the tattoo of “snake tail vulture” on his back may have super smell and super vision, which is a big trouble.

Two beast spirit warriors are just trouble. Todd determined that they neither lit the fire of the soul nor were the monsters whose basic attributes crushed the early Bronze knights. They are not a big threat to Todd, let alone the fierce warrior red wolf of the silver class.

The fierce warriors with powerful body and mind and involved in the field of prediction represent the peak of mortal evolution, and the red wolf that ignites the fire of the soul is the best among the fierce warriors.

He was responsible for the execution of the assassination plan.

Zuling witch doctor was unaware of the coming danger. When the slave carried him to the corner of the street, the red wolf hidden in the crowd shot.

The ferocious soldier of the silver level waved his arm quickly and covertly, drew a curved arc with a polished sharp stone, and shot the Zuling witch doctor 30 meters away.

Red wolf is an agile and fierce warrior. It is not good at power, but it also has the power level of medium-level bronze knights. It can hold nearly two tons of wood with one hand. With his strength and skills, the power of projecting stone fragments is comparable to that of a powerful crossbow within 30 meters. The high-speed rotating stone tablet is right in the back of the head of the Zuling witch doctor.

The feather crown, a symbol of status and power, could not provide any protection for the witch doctor. Only a “poof” was heard, and a sharp stone tablet the size of a palm broke the witch doctor’s skull and deeply inserted into the back of his brain.

It was absolutely fatal. The witch doctor fell from the slide bar seat and was caught by the eagle spirit warrior. The red wolf doesn’t need to see the results. He takes advantage of the chaos that hasn’t erupted yet. He slides out of the crowd like a loach and moves in the opposite direction.

The beast spirit warrior always has some special abilities. If the eagle spirit warrior has the smell of the snake tail vulture, he may be able to track the murderer through the smell on the stone.

The red wolf evacuated first according to the scheduled plan, while Todd left the observation results.

He was surprised to find that the target who should have been killed stood still with the help of the beast spirit warrior!

The ancestral spirit witch doctor suddenly pushed away the guards around him, burst out terrible power, and lifted all the Assyrians, including two beast spirit warriors, out. They knocked over the crowd and immediately caused a scream and wail. The witch doctor backhanded pulled out the stone embedded in the back of the brain, and the blood mixed with part of the brain flowed out of the wound.

The witch doctor looked back, his condensed eyes lit up a pale flame, showing a palpitating malice and madness. At this moment, his life form has been transformed into the dead!

The ancestral witch doctor sacrificed blood to savage slaves every day. He intercepted a lot of soul power to improve his mana. If you change to the ancestral witch doctor 1500 years ago, with his current mana level, you can automatically trigger some special spell like spells to resist this street assassination. Even if he really encounters misfortune, he will be reborn in the realm of all souls. It is not death in the real sense. He can still come to the real world through the host media prepared in advance, but there is a time limit.

However, there is only one pale Lord in the realm of all souls, and he has lost his mind. He did not refuse the spirits who appeared around him and ate them all, even the witch doctor who was responsible for feeding him.

Zuling witch doctor knew he was finished. In despair, he could no longer restrain the soul pollution, and the savage soul absorbed became the most terrible poison. The will brand of resentment, fear, hatred, pain and so on before the sacrifice completely destroyed the reason of the ancestral spirit witch doctor, leaving only the desire for revenge and destruction.

The mouth of the undead opened to an exaggerated degree, and countless small black insects gushed out of it. It feeds on all its soul and flesh, releases a plague cloud and attacks everyone on the scene indiscriminately.

The witch doctor slaves closest to the undead bear the brunt. Plague insects attack them, bite them wantonly, eat flesh and blood, and infect mental diseases with crazy curses. The Assyrian slaves infected with madness turned their heads and pounced on the living creatures around them, infecting them with the plague again.

Half empty and half real insect clouds spread rapidly in the market, and both poor refugees and rich upper class nobles became tragic victims. The place where the black insect cloud passes is like purgatory on earth, and chaos and death radiate in all directions. Tao de left the market before he was affected.

He felt that the assassination was a little too hard. He had planned to assassinate several witch doctors, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

The initiator of the market massacre fled, and the soul of the assassinated Zuling witch doctor dissipated, leaving no bones. It fully released the plague cloud, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, including the relatives of many warrior leaders. The new hatred and old hatred between the samurai group and the witch doctor group were completely triggered by the market tragedy. With the help of the old king’s followers, the two sides broke out many times around the market.

However, although Queen harinadak was not in the city, several old witch doctors took a restrained attitude. They concentrated the witch doctors and their immediate family members in a circular watchtower and couldn’t stand it, allowing the noble warriors to vent their anger with their new slaves. When the noble warriors calmed down, the two sides sent representatives for a negotiation.

Unfortunately, the hatred of thousands of deaths and injuries is not so easy to dispel. Worst of all, the old king’s confidants took advantage of the chaos to save several imprisoned princes and released savage sacrifices prepared for large-scale blood sacrifice celebrations.

The nobles in Shangcheng district who took part in the revenge realized that they had caused a great disaster. They would never spare them when the witch doctor queen came back. Even if the witch doctor leader said he would not hold them accountable, they could not rest assured. In order to avoid further expansion of the conflict, the witch doctor leader and the samurai group tacitly transferred the contradiction to the refugee slaves. The private soldiers of the nobles in the upper urban area rounded up the refugee slaves in the lower urban area in the name of catching the old king’s followers.

The refugees in the lower urban area have suffered a lot, and there is no need to say more about the tragedy, while Todd and others have evacuated the city in advance to avoid the Assyrian riots. If Todd understood the details of the incident, he would find many doubts.

First of all, the unrest in the city did not affect the upper urban area. All bloody conflicts occurred in the periphery of the market and the lower urban area. The unrest in the main city of Assyria was obviously effectively controlled, which means preparation.

Secondly, the private soldiers in Shangcheng district and the main force of the city guard have long been out of the city. They are currently stationed near the zero wolf settlement. Therefore, the powerful Assyrian warriors were not involved in the bloody conflict, which means that the main military strength of the Assyrians is intact. Due to the lack of elite private soldiers, the slave soldiers involved in the conflict belong to vegetable and chicken pecking each other. Although everyone died, the impact was not great.

Finally, the death toll in the main city of Assyria is almost equal to a large blood sacrifice.

All these strange things have nothing to do with Todd’s investigation team. They had been lurking in the forest, waiting for Nelson to lead a team to gather the horned lizards and war beasts around the burial pit and launch a surprise attack on the Assyrian temple.

The refugee riots in the city were not so easy to end. The vast majority of refugees and almost all savage prisoners fled into the forest. In order to get food, they had to attack the plantations outside the main city. This gave the old king’s confidants the opportunity to cultivate wings, and Todd could certainly see the stakes. In fact, he had already informed the imosen wizard to send an experienced savage headhunter to move near the main city of Assyria to gather the scattered savage prisoners and prepare for the subsequent raid.

Although people are now killed every day, the scope of the bloody conflict is limited to plantations outside the city, and the situation in the city is stabilizing. In this bloody incident, fermornu, the great witch doctor who gained authority, and baclock, the warrior leader, took a little boy to the independent stone house where Tumen was held.

The beast spirit warrior guarding the stone house opened the door with the key. Tumen narrowed his eyes and saw the three visitors. He asked in a deep voice, “fermorno and baclock, what do you mean by bringing the little prince to see me?”

The great witch doctor Zuling didn’t answer Tumen’s question. He looked at the humble stone house and said with a smile, “there’s not even a natural spirit here… Tumen, it seems that the chief priest harinadak is not very friendly to you.”

When King mokemo was alive, fermornu’s big witch doctor was his running dog. When harinadak regained his mana, he was Tumen again. Without hesitation, he nodded and promised, “I’ll take you to the queen.”

Fermorno and bucklock exchanged eyes and said with a smile: “there are still some people outside who want to see the queen with us… Without their help, I dare not release the great witch doctor Tumen.”
