Let's go back to the year 10009 of the Yulan calendar, September 21. A few days had passed after Wharton and Nina's big wedding. At this moment, Linley was under the belief that Reynolds had died.
Yet…
“It's the third day on this ship.it just tortures another slave to death, then throws him into the river. "Through the steel windows, Reynolds could see the outside world. He had witnessed a seemingly strong, yet blood-soaked body being thrown into the river. A human, just like that, sank into a river with a 'clap'.
In the army, Reynolds already saw how precious human life was.
However, in the course of this slave, Reynolds was completely shocked by how terrifying these slaves were. Fortunately, he, Reynolds, was such a precious commodity, that the slaves did not dare to kill him.
"Why!" The whip hit Reynolds' body hard, and then onto Reynolds' face. Instantly, a bloody welt could be seen forming on his face, and his tattered clothes were covered with tears as well.
"Motherf* cker, what do you see?" A big thug who used the whip yelled angrily at Reynolds.
Reynolds could only curl up in the corner of the ship, not daring to make a sound. He has learned to obey. If he wanted to try and be brave and look back at her .. he would probably be tortured all night.
This slave ship is huge. The bottom deck is considered the cheapest of the slaves. The slaves would occasionally descend to that deck, and if they saw someone they didn't like, they would hit them hard.
Reynolds, as a very precious slave, was imprisoned inside a special room on the second floor. The window to this room was steel-blocked, and there were two criminals on guard at all times.
Some thugs were placed in other rooms on the second floor as well.
The third and uppermost floor was used to transport the leaders of these slave ships. One was an expert of the eighth rank, while two were experts of the seventh rank. If not for Reynolds, this slave ship would not have had an expert of the eighth rank sent with him.
On the deck of this ship, a tall, strong, bald man walked up from the third floor.
"The Lord Peel [Pi'er]. "The criminals around him said respectfully.
Seeing the bloodstains on the deck of the ship, the bald man frowned. “Clean that bloodstain. Also, slaves are worth money. You are all careful when hitting them. Don't kill them. If you kill a slave, it means the organization will lose some money. ”
The thugs did not dare to speak.
The bald man snorted, then walked to the chain at the edge of the deck. A cool night breeze blew towards him as he enjoyed the beautiful night view of the Bonai River [Bo'nai].
"really. What happened to the magus? ”The bald man snorted.
A thug nearby immediately said obediently, “Tuan Peel, that little magus boy is starting to get high and mighty, but after the children have spent quite a bit of time training him these past few days, the little magus boy is starting to get high and mighty, he learned his lesson. ”
“Very good. "The bald man said calmly," All of you, be careful and watch the magus. The only precious commodity we carry right now is magus of the seventh rank. And, from the looks of it, this magus was a noble. When we sell it, the price will be very high. ”
All the goons nodded.
The young magus of the seventh rank was definitely one of the best auction items that would appear in the slave market. People would be crazier to her than a beautiful virgin.
"What's that sound?" The bald man suddenly frowned, then turned his head and looked at the cabin. The sick “ kept coughing. Drag him out. Motherf* cker, he pisses me off. 'A bit of bloodlust was in the bald man's eyes.
Immediately, a skinny young man was dragged out. From his appearance, he was eighteen or nineteen years old. His body was covered with a foul smell as well as bloodstains. The young man's eyes were a bit empty. This long prison period had caused him to go insane. He was nothing more than a young man who had left his hometown in search of his dream, but who would have thought that he would suddenly be confiscated and sold to a slave organization? Just like that, he had entered a nightmare.
"Hmm?" The bald man stretched out his hand, and a thug nearby very carefully filled it with a whip.
While holding the whip, the bald man broke it in midair, creating a clear and sharp sound. Suddenly, a hint of fear appeared in the youngster's empty eyes.
“If you don't die, why do you keep coughing? You ruined my beautiful mood. “The bald man suddenly landed a ferocious whip blow onto the skinny young man.
This whip was much stronger than the general thugs' blows.
The skinny youngster's body suddenly shook violently, and an extremely deep whip scar was left from his face to his waist. Blood immediately began to flow out. As for his clothes, they were destroyed long ago.
"Why!" "Why!" "Why!" "Why!" ….
The bald man whipped him viciously, venting his emotions into the body of this poor young man. The skinny youngster, quite experienced now, immediately tried to protect his head and curled up into a ball. What he was thinking about was that as long as he could survive, he might still be able to sustain his life.
Sorrowfully. Although the bald man did not dare to kill Reynolds, the bald man dared to kill him.
"Lord Peel, he's dead. "A thug near him whispered.
The bald man casually threw his blood-soaked whip at the nearby criminals, then turned to stare at the raging river water, stretching his body lazily. “Sial, it feels good. You guys, throw that trash into the sea. Also, make sure you rub the deck clean. ”
"Yes, Lord Peel. ”The goons around him quickly started working as instructed.
"Plops!" With a plup, another corpse was thrown into the river.
Each slave ship carried several hundred slaves in it, and on each journey, more than ten would be tortured to death. The people who would be beaten by those criminals to death were those who were physically the weakest. The physically stronger ones will be able to last longer. Thus, the slave organization did not lose too much.
“One more. “Reynolds sighed in his heart. He had not expected that after successfully escaping Neil City alive, he would fall into such a state.
Reynolds doesn't know what his future will be.
"Be a slave?" Thinking about the destruction, the dark life of a slave, Reynolds shuddered.
“Beautiful boy, what are you muttering? Do you want to cast a spell? "With an angry roar and 'WHAP!' sounding out, another whip came, hitting him directly in the face.
The pain . The humiliation!
These thugs clearly knew that Reynolds was a magus of the seventh rank. All those petty and despicable criminals wanted to whip Reynolds whenever they could, to satisfy their petty pride.
"Motherf * cker, f * ck off!" Reynolds is really angry right now.
"Oh ho!" The thug with the whip raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a sneer as he looked towards Reynolds. "You still have the gall to be arrogant?" As he spoke, he attacked with another whip.
A ferocious light appeared in Reynolds' eyes, and his lips quickly muttered those words into the magic spell.
"BOMBS!" A series of fireballs the size of one's head came out from Reynolds, charging wildly towards the two thugs. In the blink of an eye, they had been surrounded by over ten fireballs.
"A !!!" The two thugs screamed miserably, their entire bodies filled with flames. Moreover, these flames burned far hotter than ordinary flames burning. The two criminals quickly turned their skin into charcoal. Soon, they stopped breathing.
Immediately after casting the spell, Reynolds stormed out.
But at that time …
"Bombs!" A hole suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the room, and a one-eyed man wearing a red robe descended into the center of the room. Quickly, he reached Reynolds, and then kicked Reynolds with his foot.
"Bombs!" Reynolds knocks to the corner of the cabin, hard. Blood spewed from his mouth.
The one-eyed, red-eyed man, gazed back at the two charred corpses, then stared coldly at Reynolds. "You asked for death!" Reynolds stared back at the red-haired, red-robed one-eyed man.
“No wonder the organization insisted on three months of special training. You are all pathetic wretches. "The one-eyed man cursed. Simply capturing a magus-like expert of the seventh rank was not enough. To make them feel, in the deepest part of their heart, unable to resist any orders, was extremely difficult. If they get angry, they go out.
A few moments later …
Some thugs gripped Reynolds with his limbs, making sure he couldn't move. The red-haired one-eyed man and the two bald men stared coldly at Reynolds.
“Beautiful boy, I've reminded you that you must be a good boy on my ship. But you, you make me very angry. "The red-haired one-eyed man said in a cold voice. "Peel, help him improve his memory. ”
Reynolds' face paled.
He remembered the threat that the one-eyed man had previously made to him. The terror-stricken Reynolds stared with bulging eyes, but the bald man named Peel only laughed as he walked over. “Hold one of his hands for me. "Soon, the thugs grabbed Reynolds' hand and stuck it onto the deck.
From the deck, Peel picked up a pair of steel tongs used to cut iron chains. He pressed the steel clamp around Reynolds' two fingers. Sensing a cold feeling from his fingers, Reynolds' heart trembled.
"Hrmphs. Groping . "The one-eyed man sneered coldly.
The steel clamp was clamped, and as easy as cutting the cloth, Reynolds' two fingers were cut off. Fresh blood flowed out as piercing pain flooded Reynolds' body.
The pain of losing two fingers was much worse than when he received the knife cut on his body.
Hearing Reynolds' agonizing groan, the criminals nearby began to grow excited. The one-eyed man sneered coldly, “Beautiful boy, remember this. Today, all I did was teach you a little lesson. If you forget this lesson again, I guarantee .. You will never forget the next lesson again. "After speaking, the one-eyed man turned around and walked away.
Dark night .
Reynolds curled up in the cold corner of the room, his body still trembling slightly. His severed fingers were already clumping. The two thugs nearby occasionally looked at him, their eyes filled with madness.
Reynolds has killed two of their friends. These thugs were naturally filled with hatred towards him.
“Motherf * cker. Pretty boy. ”
A whip suddenly appeared, directed at the injured hands of Reynolds. Reynolds tried his best to hide his injured hand behind his back, but part of the whip was still cut off. Waves of extreme pain and suffering came from his hands. In particular, the pain from the whip attacking his finger bone was extremely painful. It was as if his fingers had been cut off again.
"Enough . Stop hitting him. "Nearby thugs.
In fact, the two criminals were also afraid that Reynolds would go crazy once again and cast magic on them. However, the criminal who just hit Reynolds is on good terms with one of the two criminals who have been killed. Naturally, he wanted revenge.
"I can't do this. I have to escape. "Crunching on the ball in a cold corner, Reynolds secretly thought to himself," If this kind of life continued, I would really go crazy. ”
Reynolds knew that even if he was able to survive and maintain his sanity, the only thing that would welcome him was the life of a slave.
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow, when the ship reaches shore, I'll move. “Reynolds doesn't have time to worry. Actually, every day this ship will stop at the beach. One reason was to increase their food supply; the other was because the one-eyed man did not like to eat dry food. He prefers fresh dishes. So, they had to go ashore to do so.
However, that one-eyed man was extremely cautious. Every time he went ashore to eat, the other two experts of the seventh rank would watch Reynolds.
Time passes very slowly. Lying on the floor late at night, Reynolds felt even colder. Moreover, the throbbing pain kept coming in waves from his severed fingers. He gritted his teeth and held on.
Slowly, the sky began to turn bright.
The two thugs whipped Reynolds a few more times, but Reynolds just curled up in the corner, secretly receiving a punch. He knew he couldn't resist. The first time he fought back, he lost two fingers. The next time he refused .. then perhaps, as the one-eyed man had threatened, the next 'lesson' was a lesson he would never forget!
Reynolds quietly waited for the boat to approach the shore.
After a very long time …
“We have reached the beach. ”Ring sounds are heard from the deck above. Soon after, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Clearly, the two experts had walked over.
“Peel, you two keep watch. I'll take a break, and then I'll come and change places with you two. "The one-eyed man's voice could be heard.
"My lord, don't worry. "Peel's voice was also heard.
Hearing footsteps away from the ship, Reynolds heaved a sigh of relief, and then he closed his eyes, once again mentally through his escape plan.
His plan was very dangerous, but he had to try it.
Glancing at the two nearby thugs, Reynolds curled up to a corner and lowered his head, and his lips began to move slightly.
