What happened to Isaac?

AD1652? England? Liverpool.

On an unremarkable day in the 17s, Xavier, the angel of power, happened to pass by the earth and found a male demon for sale near the port of Liverpool.

How did the devil get caught?Xavier thought suspiciously.In fact, he shouldn't be curious, because there is still business to be done before Sunday, otherwise he won't be able to have a good rest this week.But for some reason, this demon made him restless. He had already gone a long way, but after thinking about it, he finally turned back.

"Hello, the sun is good." The devil spoke, but the seller slapped the back of his head and told him to shut up.

His distinct Irish accent, tanned white skin, scars all over his body, and red hair all explain why he's here and no one shows mercy.

It's not the first time Xavier has dealt with demons, and he knows that this is what they mean by driving people away, but it's a bit too much to say that the sun is good in the UK.What the hell is this demon trying to do?

"Is he a POW too?" Xavier asked.

"No," the seller said succinctly, "it's just a red-haired mouse in the gutter. There are more and more outlanders, and none of them are honest."

"What did he do?"

"theft."

"Stole what?"

"a pair of socks."

"Just for this?"

"Then what else do you want to lose for him?"

Pointing to the demon's hand with every finger bound by an iron chain, the seller explained, "He can escape from under your nose."

Xavier frowned.

"Let me see him," Xavier said.

He looked at the demon with probing eyes, and the demon grinned: "Do you want to buy me?"

The seller stared at his hand and said slightly warningly: "If you want to buy him, he can be completely at your disposal."

Xavier is an angel, he shouldn't buy slaves, it's better not to even understand.But he crossed the line, and asked: "Since he is a thief and rebellious, what's the use of buying him home?"

The seller gave him a quizzical look: "Very few people take them home, sir. When they're bought, they're put on a ship right away, ready to sail, to labor on plantations in foreign lands." To the point of death.

Xavier, who knew nothing about the slave trade, was embarrassed when he realized he had asked a stupid question.He wants to go.

"Wait, sir!" the seller hurriedly called out to him, "It is true that some people buy them back as domestic servants, especially for some good-looking goods, like the one you saw... In short, they are very useful."

Xavier obviously did not fully understand the last meaningful sentence.

"I heard that his left and right hands are equally good, but as long as he cuts off both hands, he can no longer steal," the seller suggested, "I can help with this, just grab some medicine later, these people don't die so easily. "

Xavier frowned again.

A demon's limbs can regenerate, but pain is not compromised.Even if the honeymoon period between heaven and hell is over recently - and even wars have begun again, Xavier, who has many demon friends, doesn't really want this kind of tragedy to happen to this guy.

"He can't do anything after removing his hands." Xavier knew that he really couldn't buy slaves, but he still asked hesitantly, "Is there a gentler way?"

The seller grabbed the devil's hair, lifted his head, and wiped his face twice with his sleeve: "How come? Don't look at him being beaten like this now, he is actually very straight, and you can see it after heals up." Come out—you can barely see it now, can you? Green eyes, such a high and straight nose.”

As soon as he let go of his hand, the demon "thumped" back to the ground, hitting his tall and straight bridge of the nose, let out a painful whimper, and barely struggled to turn his head to the side to catch his breath.This is a strong middle-aged demon with a handsome and tough face, messy red hair, tangled with blood stains.

"He's worth £6," the seller patted the devil's rounded buttocks, "what if you don't have hands?"

At this time, Xavier saw the tail protruding from the demon's invisible clothes-dark red, thin and long, with the end like a peach heart, shaking happily under his gaze.This is a typical low-level succubus, the last servant of lust, with little influence on the human world. If there is a chain of contempt among demons, this kind of succubus will most likely stay at the bottom all year round.

Both the devil's tail and the angel's wings are invisible to mortals. For magical creatures, this is a relatively hidden part. Xavier didn't dare to imagine what it meant to suddenly wag his tail towards him.

The angel blushed immediately, but in the eyes of the seller, this was just a poor man with a heart but no guts, nothing more.Just then there was another person who was interested in demons, and he ignored Xavier.

"Six pounds is too much, and he's not worth it even if he has another one in his belly," the man tried to bargain. "Hurry up, man. My boat is about to sail."

Seeing that the cruel deal was about to be concluded, Xavier suddenly became a little nervous.The demon fell in the mud, his cheekbones were worn out, the wound was covered with gravel, his eyes were half closed, and he looked listless.

"Wait, I have an extra shilling," Xavier opened the purse, "you don't need to cut it anywhere, just sell him to me."

"Hi! sissy!" cried the bargainer.

The seller was overjoyed, fearing that Xavier would repent, he quickly untied the chain that tied the devil after receiving the money, and stuffed it into his hand: "He is yours, sir." These words were accompanied by an impatient wave of hands like chasing flies. , because the man who didn't buy the demon seems to want to fight the seller, and he is too busy to take care of himself now.

It seemed that a shilling increase would have been satisfactory to the seller, perhaps sixpence.Xavier felt that he had suffered a big loss, and even wanted to return the goods on the spot.

The devil got up with his elbows on the ground, looking really miserable, but he was obviously more excited than painful, and there was even that... ecstatic expression on his face, which looked too devilish, making Xavier suspect that he was impulsive Is it a bad decision to go out for £6 plus 1 shilling to redeem a demon who doesn't know what to do with it?

The devil then said: "Hey, Birdman, don't you want to persuade us to fight?"

Xavier can see the peach heart tail of the devil, and of course the devil can also see Xavier's wings, but he still feels a little subtle when he is identified by the devil who acts as a slave: "The mediation of such small disputes, people You can do it yourself, it’s not convenient for me to intervene.”

The angel led the demon to walk on the stone road one after the other.

Boom!There was a terrifying muffled sound behind him.

"Beautiful! Kill him, you bastard," the demon suddenly turned his head excitedly, just now the man punched the seller on the bridge of the nose.Xavier continued to walk forward with hidden worries, but was grabbed by the demon in turn, "They played very interestingly, stay and have a look before leaving."

Xavier raised his face seriously: "Did I buy you to let you watch the fun?"

The answer was obviously a capitalized NO, but in the end Xavier stood with the demon and watched the two men fight back and forth.

The devil said: "As long as you are willing to speak, this matter can be solved with a breath of effort."

"No," the angel said with a straight face, "according to the system."

The demon tilted his head to look at him.Xavier coughed dryly, his face was calm, and he just blinked a little.

According to the system, wait a little longer, no one will die anyway.

Is it weird?That's the price of overcharging an angel for a shilling.

Watching the fight... When the mediator came, the demon carefully wiped the ashes on his face and nose with the back of his hand, which made his face even more blurred.His appearance has already passed the age of being fondly called "little cat". Xavier couldn't bear to look straight at him, took out a handkerchief folded into a triangle from his jacket pocket, stuffed it into the devil's hand, and asked him to wipe it himself wipe.

It turned out that the demon not only didn't wipe his face clean, but also blew his nose with his handkerchief.

never mind.At any rate, Xavier thought, a new white handkerchief was safely in his pocket by this time.

Although he knew that this handkerchief must come and go, Xavier's facial features still slowly gathered around the tip of his nose. It was a very disgusting expression, and this disgust was when the devil tried to roll up the handkerchief and stuff it back into his pocket. Time to peak.

He hastily dodged.This is the first time that Xavier regrets buying a demon, and of course there will be two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and countless times in the future.

The gravel between the bricks bounced slightly, a carriage drove towards here at a leisurely pace, and pedestrians wandering in the market avoided to both sides.

The carriage stopped in front of Xavier.A middle-aged man with the appearance of a squire got off the carriage, took off his hat to salute Xavier, his eyes stayed on the chained demon for a moment, politely didn't ask anything, put his hat back on, and walked towards the two people who were fighting Past: "What's up, gentlemen, what's up?"

"Okay, let's go," Xavier said.

"This is not going to fight?"

The demon looked very disappointed.

Because it’s a little off the beaten track, let’s talk about it. The background here is that after the Anglo-Irish War, some Irish prisoners of war (as well as ordinary Irish, and even the British sent a few later) unfortunately became slaves.There are many red hairs in Ireland, and the devil has red hairs, so it is easy to be regarded as an Irishman, but he is not a human being, of course, there is no distinction of nationality.

I really don’t know how to have the courage to write a semi-overhead???……Actually, my understanding of general history is really like shit. If you find that there seems to be something that shouldn’t appear in a certain period, don’t take it to heart. , Be more confident, I guess I made a mistake, please point it out for me, thank you T?T
