The Repeaters

4. Oz city

Koza OZ is a city located not far from the kingdom of Noa, this city is often called the city of sailors and servants because of its location adjacent to the sea. Leonardo and Lily have set foot in the city. 

The sun was right in their heads, the situation was sultry, the houses looked lined up and simple.

There the sailors and fishermen have prepared themselves to continue their activities, wherever Leonardo stared at the contents only the sailors and fishermen who walked carrying the fish.

It creates a fishy aroma, but even so most of the population is crowded to buy the fish.

The little boys were playing chases in the crowd. Truly a peaceful city, that's what comes to Leonardo's brain.

Not stopping in the crowd, many people who look rich and like important people walking in this crowd, maybe they are tourists or something. Although they are not actually natives of this city, but they all seem to really enjoy this crowd.

Leonardo's lips lifted as he looked at them.

"It's a very peaceful city huh." 

Lily did not respond to his words, this girl instead hid behind Leonardo, she looked frightened and continued to hold tightly Leonardo's hand. He really did not want his face to be stared at by the general public.

"This city is not peaceful at all Leo, you only see the bright side of this city. You don't see the dark parts of this town."

Lily's voice was stammered, she was still hiding behind Leonardo's body. But this man did not understand what Lily meant. 

"What do you mean by the dark side?"

Leonardo asked this without turning his head towards the frightened Lily. He himself was confused even though his memory was lost, but he was very sure that Lily had never been this scared.

Lily forcefully opened her heavy mouth, she stared forward.

"That's because-

"No! anyone please!"

Lily's speech was cut off by the voice that echoed in this crowd, the voice coming from a red-haired little girl running over. His face looked scarred, he was wearing only a brown shirt without pants, both his hands and feet were handcuffed by chains. He fell while running.

An emotion-looking middle-aged man continued to chase after the red-haired girl, in his hand carrying a dagger, which was covered in blood. He continued to run until he got in front of the girl, when he got there, the man pulled the girl's red hair and continued to threaten her, saying that he would kill her if he fought back, he had even kicked the girl's lying stomach. 

But strangely the residents ignored the girl, they were still engrossed in their own activities. Although some people want to help, they seem frightened.

The man continued kicking the girl's stomach, until she vomited blood. But as if it didn't matter this man was still kicking his stomach.

"Sorry! Pardon me! Pardon me! I'll do what you want.. J.. So forgive me!" The girl kept whining and crying, she was trying to protect her body.

"Shut up!! You scum! Slaves like you don't want to rule!" This man did not show a single pity he kept kicking the girl's stomach.

 Leonardo began to grow furious, he really wanted to punch the middle-aged man.When he was about to walk a step, his hand was stopped by Lily. "Enough Leonardo! Don't interfere!"

Leonardo was emotionless, he stared intently at Lily. "What did you say?! Where might I-"

"Enough! Die you stupid slave!!" Shouting out from the man, Leo spontaneously stopped his speech and turned to the source of the voice.

Leonardo was very surprised, because the girl's head broke and exploded, her blood spurted so much. After the middle-aged man said 'Death!' The nameless girl was completely dead, her head just exploding like it was struck by magic.

The man kept on emotion as his clothes were stained by his blood, he kept staring exasperatedly at the headless corpse, even he kicked the corpse once again then left the crowd. The residents as usual with what happened, they look very indifferent and continue the activity of buying fish.

Leonardo froze, he was speechless. In his brain full of events from the explosion of the girl's head, the memory kept repeating and repeated will not be able to disappear, the breath of this man became messy and his gaze became blurred whenever even he could faint. As if realizing her condition Lily hugged Leonardo's body from behind and kept saying that everything would be fine.

After Leonardo calmed down a little he asked what was really going on, Lily just fell silent. He held Leonardo's hand and took him somewhere. They passed through a small, uninhabited alley, even trash lying along the way. In the alley there is an underground staircase. They both stepped in that direction.

The underground was circular like a football stadium, all the lights were turned off to create a dark atmosphere, the smell of this area was only cigarettes and alcohol.

Many waited while drinking and getting drunk, whatever it was, everyone here was like trash. While Lily and Leonardo just kept quiet in the corner of the keramain, isolating themselves so that their existence is unknown.

In this crowd Lily quivered in fear, she really hated this place. Because he had a bad memory here before. Leonardo held the hand of the girl who was at the side trying to calm down a little.

All the lights suddenly shone, signaling the event had begun. A person was walking under the stadium, his face was not clearly visible as it was covered by a mask. He was walking with something, yeah. What he brought were humans.

Not only one, he brought a lot of humans, assisted by his men who each dragged the man forcibly. Just like the girl before, they were all in handcuffs on her hands and feet. The clothes they wore were brown, the average of the humans was a woman.

"Well, thank you for waiting, my Edward as the leader here will introduce you to our new slave." The masked man bowed his head in a sign of respect.

Then he raised his head and stepped towards one of the slaves nearby. The boy was a green-haired woman. His face was very soft and soft. 

"First of all I will introduce to this girl, she has no name. He's just a stupid slave, but he's useful for venting your emotions and passions, he's very timid and .." The man smacked the woman's face and fell.

"He is the best samsak, you can do whatever you want. After all, he was just a puppet. And the most interesting thing about this girl is, she keeps being haunted by the memories of her husband, when you want to play her beautiful body she will continue to protect her body and say like this. 'Please don't! Whatever origin not my body!! I'm still in love with my husband.'"

Edward scoffed with his stupid face. She acted as if she were a girl. The audience laughed so hard that some even threw bottles of alcohol and trash onto the girl's face, they continued to make fun of her.

"And do you know what's funniest? I actually killed her husband right in front of her eyes, when it was really amazing." Edward kicked the girl in the stomach. "This garbage keeps whining and crying is really the best situation."

The audience laughed once again, seeing the behavior of Edward, while Lily and Leonardo who stood in the corner could only hit the wall. "Based monster! What's so funny?" Leonardo said, he kept hitting the wall used for the backrest.

"So for this best slave of lust, I'll put a price of about 100 gold."

Edward pulled the girl's green sign. He showed a face full of wounds to the audience.

About 10 spectators raised their hands.  

"I took it with 120 gold." 

"Then I'm 160 gold."

"Don't then take 200 gold."

the 10 men clashed with each other, until a man who looked rich stated that he wanted to buy the girl for 500 gold. No one wanted to add any more treasures, and the man smiled as if he had won.

"Alright 500 gold, this slave is yours."

"Yes! I can finally vent my passions and emotions, get ready for tonight, my slave!" Shouts from the man, the green-haired girl could only resign and shed tears.

"Alright I will continue the next slave .."

The event continued to repeat, showing many slaves who were treated badly, there were even small children who were beaten and played with, grandfathers too, there was also, almost the average of them were beaten and not treated like humans.

And somehow the audience enjoyed it and laughed, they each bought the slave for 200-500 gold. As time went on, all the slaves were played and sold. The spectators dragged the slaves they had just bought and left the stadium.

While Leonardo, his emotions had been explosive, from earlier he wanted to mess up the event, but stopped by Lilya, he continued to hug her from behind trying to make Leonardo calm. Eventually Leonardo had calmed down, they both went to this rotten stadium. Now Leonardo understands that this OZ city is a rotten city.

The night has arrived, Leonardo and Lily are looking for lodging at a relatively cheap price, after spending time finally they find one interesting inn.

Without much talk they entered the inn. Inside looks simple with a long hallway and wooden buildings. Each hallway has its own room.

"Can I help you?" An old grandmother sitting at the inn's cashier table looked at Leonardo and Lily, who were still silent at the door. Lily said that we were in need of lodging, and luckily the grandmother accepted the two of them with only about 2 Silver. Lily reached into her pocket and paid for it.

The grandmother handed him the key that read 232. The grandmother explained that it was Leonardo and Lily's room. With a smile of thanks they both looked for a room and rested there.

Lily had fallen asleep on the bed, while Leonardo was still sitting in the corner of the room, he kept thinking about the events that had just happened. He was really annoyed with the man named Edward, if he met him again Leonardo promised to hit the man's face until his mask broke.
