Rise of the Douluo Empire

Xue Qinghe heard Li Yao's advice and said nothing, but looking at him, he probably didn't listen.The smarter a person is, the less he will listen to other people's suggestions, just like Xue Qinghe at this moment.Li Yao walked up to him, looked at him who had put down his disguise at this moment, and filled his wine glass. "I know how difficult it is for you. Don't let the joy of the upcoming victory go to your head. Maybe you were the only one in the past and suffered all kinds of hardships, but now I will hold the sword for you."

Looking at Li Yao blankly, Xue Qinghe sat upright and became the gentle and elegant Crown Prince again, "I understand."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and neither of them spoke anymore, just quietly watching the items being photographed one by one.The auction is about to end.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the auction was not enthusiastic enough, the auctioneer ordered people to change the next lot. "Dear friends, my auction house received two treasures today. I don't know which friend will buy them. Don't talk nonsense. Just bring it up.”

People in the audience began to chat in a buzzing manner. "Another treasure appears. Is it a soul bone?"

"The soul bone appears so easily. It should be another treasure."

Everyone was guessing what it would be, and a square box covered with cloth was pushed out of the field.At first Li Yao was also attracted by this strange scene and asked, "Do you know what that is? It makes it so mysterious."

Xue Qinghe was a little stiff when the square box was delivered. When Li Yao asked, his face became even more ugly, "You will know later."

There seemed to be some knowledgeable people among the people outside, clamoring to start bidding quickly. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heated, the auctioneer bowed with a smile and said, "Please be quiet, everyone. Bidding for this lot will start immediately. The base price is [-] gold soul coins. Each auction The price increase must not be less than [-] gold soul coins." He then told the assistant next to him, "Go and put it up."

The assistant put away the covering cloth and pulled away the baffle in the box, revealing an iron cage with two small children huddled in it.But the two children had wolf-like ears and tails, and their eyes were also faint wolf eyes.It seemed that they had been locked up for a long time, and they were not used to the sudden light. After squinting for a while, they opened their eyes. They saw many people surrounding them, and the two of them leaned closer together.The people on the stage laughed wildly, pushing today's auction house to its climax.

Maybe they were frightened, but the two children actually lay on the ground "┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~" and howled. Only then did Li Yao realize that they were two children, a boy and a girl. They had a few pitiful pieces of debris on their bodies. cloth, allowing them to reveal their gender.

In the box, Xue Qinghe's face was livid, Li Yao's soul power was boiling, Jin Yan himself jumped out, and his black hair was windless.Li Yao looked at the buyers who were shouting wildly in the hall, "This auction house still dares to sell people. In front of you, the Crown Prince of the Empire, you openly defy the laws of the Empire. Is Xuexing so presumptuous?"

Xue Qinghe was silent, looking at the two helpless wolf children. "They are not humans. They are half-human and half-spirit beasts. The empire's laws are used to protect people, but it is difficult to distinguish whether they are humans or soul beasts. This is why the auction house dares to sell them."

Looking at the angry Li Yao, he explained to him, "All human beings will awaken their martial souls when they are six years old, but this is full of dangers. Only with correct guidance can they awaken successfully, otherwise they will either explode and die, or they will die." It will be like this for them.

In their case, when the martial soul awakens, the energy in the body cannot be controlled. The martial soul does not awaken successfully, but directly integrates into the body, causing physical changes. Being between half human and half soul beast, it will not be affected by Protected by Imperial Laws. "

For this reason, Li Yao put away his soul power. Incompetent rage could not solve the problem. He had to know the secrets in order to find a solution. "In that case, hasn't the Empire thought of solving it? After all, apart from the changes in their appearance, they were still human beings before."

"How could it not be the case? I mentioned it a long time ago that the existence of half-human and half-soul beasts should be attributed to humans and protect them in accordance with the law. However, most of the nobles opposed it. Only Xue Ye agreed with my point of view. , but unfortunately it didn’t pass in the end. Later I learned that some nobles would specially collect children, wait until they are six years old and watch them become alienated, and then select the successful ones, or sell them, or give them away, or satisfy their own special preferences. Such children It is by no means a special case, but it has a complete organization, and the people who did all this are probably the great nobles of the two empires."

What Xue Qinghe said made Li Yao extremely angry. He lived in a different era, which gave him the greatest respect for life.This kind of disregard for life and the business of human beings are intolerable to him.Although these children had mutated and were no longer fully human, Li Yao's heart seemed to be clenched when he looked at the helpless eyes and huddled figures on the stage. "Buying them, I can't ignore something like this happening in front of me."

Xue Qinghe stood up and held down Li Yao's trembling body. "It's useless. You can't save it. I've seen a lot of such children. The higher the price you pay today, the more you can mobilize those people." Heart, making them even crazier.”

Continuously calming down, Li Yao stopped his murderous intention, "You are right, if I buy them today, what difference will it make to all the scumbags here? Do me a favor and find the person who bought them today."

Xue Qinghe knew what Li Yao planned to do. If he had stopped Li Yao regularly for his hidden plan in the past.But it was different now. He couldn't watch Li Yao in such pain. "Do you need them to help?"

"No, there's no need for Title Douluo to take action, just help me find someone." After Li Yao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at the wolf boy on the stage.

"The reason why martial arts halls are set up in various cities is to awaken children who have reached the age of six in a timely manner.

Although both empires banned the slave trade, in fact the slave trade never stopped. "Xue Qinghe's gentle voice sounded in Li Yao's ears.

Li Yao opened his eyes, and light seemed to be shooting out of his eyes, "This rotten world will eventually be changed by us, isn't it?"

Looking at Li Yao who was fighting high at this moment, Xue Qinghe smiled but did not say anything clearly.

The two of them waited until the auction house was over and walked to the street. Li Yao took a long breath to disperse the boredom in his heart. "I'll go to the Spirit Hall, find someone, and tell me there. I'm going to cause trouble for you this time."

Xue Qinghe looked at Li Yao leaving, turned around and said to the guard beside him, "Go and find out who bought the two wolf-turned-children today. Give me a copy of today's city guard's defense map."

"Yes" left a few people behind, and the rest quickly disappeared into the street.These are the dead soldiers trained by Xue Qinghe. As the prince of such a huge empire, he has a lot of power at his disposal, but there are many things that he cannot do.
