"Borrowing" Howard's manor to meet Durand three times, Yu Yuan had already made a preliminary plan and told the little prince his own arrangements. Judging from the current situation, on the one hand, there is a need to win over courtiers and nobles when there is an opportunity at this stage. On the other hand, as the crown prince, Durand himself has a lot of things that need to be improved.

For Yu Yuan, it was like the starting panel in the training game was full of whiteboards. Players had to choose their own training targets, and in the end, let them go to the heads-up boss to win. Substituted into this game, Durand is the training target, and Fernando is naturally the final BOSS that needs to be defeated.

After the process of "cultivating the little prince" starts on the right track, every day, the reminder of the appearance of important NPCs will be refreshed at the time of day, and they are all tool NPCs related to the cultivation of the little prince. For example, Yu Yuan has recruited two new teachers with [rarity: four stars] for the little prince so far, to replace the original two-star teachers. Players don't need to verify the teacher's ability by themselves, the star and other attributes that come with them already explain everything.

Just as in some games, the stray male protagonist accidentally obtains rare treasures/superior guidance, etc., with Yu Yuan as a plug-in, all kinds of helpful things will be sent to the little prince.

"The production team is also considering adding a card draw system, what do you think?" Lin Ling talked about this matter, "10 gold coins for a draw, ranging from three stars to five stars, a hundred draws guarantee a five-star tool, three hundred draws Select the specified role."

"Yes, there will be people who love krypton gold." In the game industry, Yu Yuan naturally understands the mechanism of krypton gold guarantee, but he didn't expect it to be like this for the past six or seven years.

It was just in the afternoon, Yu Yuan was standing near a small competition arena in the outer city of Wangcheng, two knights and other servants were waiting not far away. He didn't come here for anything else, it was because there were new tool man characters to refresh here at this time - even five-star characters this time.

Five-star characters, Lin Ling explained to him that the probability of appearing is only 0.2%, because the probability is too low, even few testers have refreshed it. But as long as you can recruit five-star characters to your command, it will be a great help to improve the little prince's attributes and the subsequent development of the plot, and the probability of clearing the level with one life will also be greatly increased.

This area of ​​the competition field is a mixed bag, and there are people from the three religions and nine classes. Yu Yuan had deliberately changed into a suit of plain material, but once there were knights and servants following him, people who had no eyes would guess which noble they were, and they couldn't help but glance at them when passing by.

"This lady, are you looking for someone?" A short man with sharp eyes looked at the corner for a long time, and finally came up and said in a low voice, "If you want to buy a few slaves, here is my side. There are very good goods, all with formal slave contracts..."

Yu Yuan glanced at the title of [Slave Merchant] above his head, somewhat disgusted, took a step back, "No need."

"Hey, come here anytime if you need it. Everyone here knows me, old Charlie." Seeing the red-haired knight next to him showing his sword, the slave merchant didn't bother much, and crouched back to the corner with his hands on his back.

There were indeed some slaves in ragged clothes among the nearby crowd, some men and women, and some even brought children. This competition field is not a large-scale place. It is connected to the slave market. Many young men with a little force will be sent to the competition field. It is rumored that if they win enough games, they will be able to get rid of their slave status for themselves and their families. , but very few people can come out alive again.

Taking out his pocket watch, seeing that the time was almost up, but he hadn't seen Wuxing's movement yet, Yu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake. The reminder refreshed last night was [The five-star character [Storm Knight-Eugene] will be refreshed in the XX area of ​​the arena during the XX time period], just like the previous four-star reminder, there is no other description, but the two four-star characters It's definitely in the right place.

Why hasn't this five star appeared yet?

The range of the competition arena is not large, and there are not even two NPCs with names on their heads in the crowd passing by. If this Eugene really appears, it will definitely have the golden title of [Storm Knight] on his head. It is impossible for him not to notice.

At this time, a few men who looked like rich and wealthy businessmen just came out of a small door.

"Haha, I've read enough books today. The slave you brought is quite powerful."

"Tomorrow will definitely continue to win, I don't think anyone here can compare."

"Hey, I can't say that. It's not that a new batch of slaves has just entered the underground market. If there is a more powerful one..."

"What's the point of talking about it and not seeing it, why don't you just go now..."

......

Several potbellied middle-aged businessmen left together.

Hearing their words, Yu Yuan noticed a piece of information inside—underground.

The range given by the prompt is the area where he is now. Since there is no one, is the underground area also included in this area?

The time was about to come, Yu Yuan didn't think about it any longer, and immediately walked towards the slave merchant not far away. The gray-haired knight quickly followed, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what are you doing?"

Calling Her Royal Highness the Queen would reveal one's identity, which is naturally the only way to go outside.

The red-haired knight also said, "If he knew that you not only came to the arena but also to the slave market, 'that one' would definitely be angry."

Yu Yuanxin said that it had nothing to do with me if Fernando was not angry, and it was important for him to have five stars?

"Help me ask this businessman if there is an underground floor in the slave market, and are there any new slaves arriving today?" He simply handed it over to the red-haired knight and followed behind.

When old Charlie saw the person, he smiled with yellow teeth. Hearing the knight's question, he replied, "Haha, then you have found the right person. I just got a new batch of slaves today."

He pretended to take off his hat and saluted his wife, but unfortunately he painted tigers and dogs like cats and dogs, and the ceremony was messed up.

Yu Yuan followed, and the servants could only follow.

As he had heard before, the slave market did have an underground floor, which could be circled from the outside of the arena. This place is no different from the ground floor, the environment is relatively poor, and there are many people who come to choose and buy slaves. Lucky slaves can be picked by some small noble to be a servant, but most of them can only be dragged by the dealers to work as hard labor. Once marked as a slave, this life is almost impossible to escape.

Charlie the slave trader walked all the way, boasting to the "Madame" that he was the biggest businessman in the business, and brought a few people to his shop, and there were a few tall men armed with weapons guarding the door. Pulling the curtain, the slaves with different faces inside looked up at the door. Seeing such a nobleman with servants, his eyes showed longing, as if he saw a chance to live.

The slave trader smiled and said, "Many of them were shipped in the past two days. All of them have a slave contract. There is absolutely no problem with their identity. You can choose carefully."

Yu Yuan knew that he couldn't help much, but he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw such a scene. Lin Ling seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Don't think too much, it's all in the game, it's all fake."

The red-haired knight urged softly, "Madam, if you like it, take it away. Let's go quickly."

If you report back to Her Majesty that Her Royal Highness not only went to the competition arena, but also went around the slave market, Her Majesty still doesn't know how much she will react.

The redhead felt as if he could have anticipated the scene of His Majesty's anger.

But the queen shook her head gently. Not only did she have no intention of leaving, she looked at the slave trader, "Bring out the most expensive one here."

Since the five-star refresh reminder only appeared late last night, it is very likely that he came to Wangcheng within the past two days. Yu Yuan can now be sure that this "Storm Rider" is probably a certain slave. If it is not in the hands of the slave trader in front of him, he will find it elsewhere.

Hearing this, the gray-haired knight suddenly widened his eyes, "Madam, Wang... What kind of servant do you want in the manor? Do you want to come here to choose?"

But the queen still insisted, repeating her words again, and adding: "As long as the male slaves who have just been delivered recently, they will use swords."

According to his guess, this five-star should have a high force value, and maybe he will not be too old, but he just doesn't know how he got here.

"Hey, it seems that this lady is quite demanding." The slave trader made a gesture of rubbing money and said to the other two guards: "Go, go back and bring the best ones with you. come out."

Not long after, two masked guards came back with five male slaves whose hands were trapped. These five men were tall and well built, obviously much better than ordinary slaves.

At a glance, he saw that the name above one of the men's head was [Eugene], and after unfolding the data card [Rarity: Five Stars], Yu Yuan couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, this time he was lucky to find the right one.

"I want this." Yu Yuan pointed at his target.

The most conspicuous feature of this five-star is that he has brown-black skin and black-brown hair. Eighty-nine times out of ten, he is a foreigner from a foreign land. He is young, and it is estimated that he may be not much different from Durand. The slave looked up at the nobleman who had chosen him, and Yu Yuan was also looking at the other party. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He didn't expect that even though this man was a slave, at first glance, the young man looked quite decent.

In his heart, he had already assigned the other person the character of a "Knight in Distress".

"Is this?" The slave trader rubbed his hands together and smiled until his eyes narrowed, "Madam, your eyes are so good, this is the best one in my batch, you must know that he is far away. Locally shipped..."

The slave trader kept talking as if he was really introducing a piece of goods, describing how good the physical condition of the slave was. Before the medicine was not enough, he had injured several guards by himself. In the end, he even invited "Mrs." to touch the slave at close range, "You can see that this kind of firm muscle is incomparable to other goods."

The red-haired knight reminded again: "Madam, 'that' will really be angry."

Yu Yuan ignored it and asked, "How much?"

The slave trader smiled like a flower and stretched out five fingers.

Yu Yuan was about to say that 500 gold coins is only 500, which is a bit expensive, but it is not impossible to buy it for the sake of five stars, when he heard the slave trader say, "Five thousand gold coins."

"..."

Five thousand gold coins, converted into five hundred star coins in reality, can buy enough nutrient solution for him to drink for half a week.

He felt a little wanting to go.

Lin Ling: "What are you hesitating about? It's a five-star, so don't buy it in order to raise the little crown prince's attributes."

"Technician Lin." Yu Yuan even changed his title.

"???" Lin Ling frantically raised a question mark in his heart, "If you have something to say, say it directly?"

"Since I am a tester, will the expenses in the game be reimbursed?"

At this time, he couldn't help but have a new understanding of the game's way of cheating.

"Be sober, this gold coin is not the same type as the one in the online game. These five stars were given to you purely by luck." Lin Ling realized that his hesitation just now was because of this. He wanted to enter the game and knock it on his head. For a moment, "The card pool hasn't been done yet, only the Qiang Krypton five-star in the card pool will receive the money."

"That's it." Yu Yuan suddenly realized that he started as a queen, so he didn't need to worry about economic conditions, and immediately nodded and agreed to the price given by the slave merchant.

Seeing that the lady had just been silent for a long time, the businessman thought that the business was going to be bad, but he did not expect that he would agree to a buy-in price, and immediately smiled and held out a few parchment scrolls, "This is a contract, and this requires your name. …”

Naturally, it was impossible for the queen to do such a thing. The red-haired and gray-haired knights saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so they had to accept their fate and do the work for Her Royal Highness, leaving their names.

With five thousand gold coins in hand, the slave trader immediately pushed Eugene in front of him, "Okay, go with your new master."

He smiled and looked at his wife again, "You have to let your subordinates watch it, don't untie the rope on the way, don't look at his silent appearance on this cargo, it can really fight if you fight, you can find it after you bring it back. If you need to introduce someone who understands this, I also recommend it..."

"No." Yu Yuan interrupted him, looking at Eugene, who had been drooping his eyes for a while, "Come back with me."

The group returned to the ground like this, but there was one more than when they came. Why did the red-haired knight dislike him, and asked the gray-haired: "Her Royal Highness will not bring this slave back to the palace?"

It wasn't just the NPC who had such doubts, Lin Ling also asked: "You want to bring him back to the palace? Then how can you let him teach the little prince? Or just keep it for later?"

The two four-stars that they had met before were directly arranged by Yu Yuan secretly, and let them go to the crown prince's side by themselves, just as teachers teaching courses. The role of five stars is much greater than that of four stars. Even if he is not a tool to help the protagonist improve his attributes, he can play a greater role in other aspects.

But Yu Yuan mentioned before that the shortcoming of the little prince is in the aspect of combat power, so he needs relevant teaching. The ordinary teacher in the past is not good at all. This five-star [Eugene] looks like a combat type. After thinking about it, he has already reserved the identity of "the little prince's master" for the other party.

"Fernando's people are still watching, and this kind of thing can't be hidden." Yu Yuan was referring to the red hair and gray hair, "You can't sneak people away from your eyes, no matter what. I have to take it back to the palace first."

"What to do after that?"

"Don't worry." Yu Yuan was confident, "Fernando will 'help' himself, he will help me find a good place for this 'Eugene'."

Eugene was very silent all the way, and didn't say a word. Even when he was sitting in the corner of the carriage, he didn't respond when he heard the servant's comments. He just rubbed his hands that had been tied by ropes for a long time.

The slave trader had given a warning before, but Yu Yuan asked the red-haired knight to untie Eugene as soon as he got in the car. He didn't seem to be worried that the young man would suddenly burst out and hurt others.

"I know your name, Eugene." This name was also written on the contract just now. It was the same as the real name on the top of his head. Yu Yuan looked at him, "Are you still willing to continue using this name? Or do you want to change it."

The carriage started slowly.

"It doesn't matter." Eugene's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time.

"Then let's talk about the rules first." Yu Yuan made a look and asked the red-haired knight to hand over the water bag, and then said, "I only have one request, that you follow me faithfully."

Eugene sat in the corner with his arms folded, took the water bag and drank it, but ignored these words.

When the carriage stopped, the door opened and a servant greeted him, Yu Yuan was the first to go down.

The leading maid Nancy saluted, "Your Highness the Queen."

Only then did Eugene, who was held down by the red-haired knight, react a little, and looked at the "grand lady" he had always thought.

...is the queen of this country?

At the same time, a middle-aged steward also came over and saluted, Yu Yuan recognized at a glance that this was the person next to Fernando, and there was no need to say more about the rest.

"Give him a place to live, then wash and change into new clothes." Yu Yuan pointed to Eugene, who had just brought back, and handed it over to Nancy. He went to see Fernando himself.
