When Yong Ye was pressing forward, the young man pulled away the clothes of his shirt, revealing the brand on his chest, that was...

"My mother sold me! This is a slave mark! Because of this slave certificate, I can only make a living by doing dirty business. I also know that these people are extremists in the imperial capital. They are perverted. Extremely, but I was forced to be helpless! So... these three are given to you, you can let me go... "

"Well... I just need some servants. It's okay if they come from clean sources."

"Clean! Absolutely clean! I personally picked it up from the countryside! My daughter who had to sell because of her family's poverty! The looks and methods are also top-notch! If it weren't for these perverts' high bids, I would be reluctant to let them go!"

"Really? Then I took it, but..."

"No, but? What..."

"—I took your things, but as a last word, your words are too boring."

Glancing at the young man who had just shown an overjoyed expression, but then immediately froze, Yong Ye kicked the awl on the ground that was supposed to goug out the girl's eyes, and let it shoot into the young man's eyes, Directly pierced the eye or even to the brain.

The head is the collection of nerves in the human body. Once the nerves are damaged in the brain, the function of the human body will not function, and life will be in danger. Therefore, many people think that if the brain is damaged, they will die instantly. In fact, this is not the case. A person will not die immediately after being shot in the head. This is why very few people are shot in the head and still survive.

Under normal circumstances, if the human body is severely damaged in the nerve center, it will enter the emergency correction state of shock, and stop all unnecessary functions to repair the brain as much as possible. This does not mean instant death.

However... this is really not much different from death. Although it is an emergency repair, from the perspective of human self-healing ability, the possibility of repairing is almost zero. The cause of death is mostly various problems caused by excessive blood loss and shock.

Of course, everything is not absolute. There was once a non-commissioned officer of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment named Listal. The bullet entered from the upper part of his left eye, passed through his brain and flew out from the skull above the right ear. , Because there are not many brain nerve cells lost at the location of the bullet, even if the neurons cannot be resurrected once they die, the compensatory function of the neurons exists, that is, the surviving neurons will be more active, compensating for the lost neurons. Features.

With compensatory functions, timely treatment, and bad luck, Listal survived.

Hmm... The soldier named Listal is very lucky, but 99% of the young man on the ground who is directly in shock will not survive. Although there are not many ice picks pierced into the brain, the difference between this kind of shock and death is not the same. Big, this era... Can you do brain surgery?

It's a bit cheap for a scum like him to die directly. If he doesn't die... Sure enough, we'd better wait a while to go back and let someone catch him and hang him?

"Wang! Wang Wang!! Wang!?"

When Yong Ye looked down at the young man who could basically be called a corpse and was thinking about the boring problem, the tall and thin priest raised a vicious dog in estrus, because it was not the target of his first wave of throat cuts, so when the priest struggled on the ground When he couldn't move, the loyal vicious dog barked and rushed towards him.

"...just a dog, still want to bite me?"

He didn't even look at it, he just raised his foot, and the vicious dog with the iron ring around his neck flew back with a whimper.

"Unfortunately I'm not very interested in dog meat...otherwise...um..."

Looking at the half-dead vicious dog whose mouth was kicked crookedly, Yong Ye thought for a moment, and then looked at the three girls who were almost killed in the corner of the wall.

"Do you eat dog meat?"

"Dog, dog meat?"

"If you don't like it, forget it. I'll go first. If you don't want to be sent to prison by the Imperial City Guard at the scene of the crime, just follow you."

With that said, Yong Ye didn't wait for the three of them to come back to their senses, so he walked out from the destroyed gate just like that.

The three girls huddled in the corner hesitated for a while. With no choice, they could only tremblingly follow Yong Ye, who had already walked out of the restaurant first, and didn't seem to have much interest in them.

The three who had just been sold to the imperial capital, who once had beautiful dreams, overly optimistic thoughts, and dreamed of redeeming themselves after working hard, no longer had the optimistic fantasy they had before.

They just looked at the back of the new master, Yong Ye. Although they thanked the other party for saving them, they were very afraid to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den again, to be tortured by the man who had easily killed the previous group of people.

They wanted to escape, but... they didn't have that kind of courage. After all, in addition to worrying about being caught by the guards, they were also afraid that escaping without authorization would lead to a more terrifying encounter than before, so they could only follow Yong Ye.

…

Yong Ye walked in front, and the three girls followed along like on thin ice.

When they followed Yong Ye to the super-large mansion newly given by the emperor, the three of them were more stunned than before, especially when they saw the heavily armored guards standing guard at the gate of the small city wall of the mansion, they were a little afraid to enter. in.

Luna was introverted and afraid of life and naturally did not dare to speak. The experience of almost breaking her leg made Farr be honest. Although she was gentle, she was actually the strongest of the three. El became the spokesperson of the three, replacing the other two cautiously. Ask out loud.

"...that, that... this is..."

"The mansion just given by the little emperor."

"Ah? Little, little emperor...? It means..."

"Anything like this is fine. It's just a title. Compared to your appearance, it saves me a lot of trouble. At least I don't need to waste time buying people."

"You, what do you want... what do we do?"

Perhaps it was because of the previous incident that the three of them were overly frightened. Yong Ye's words made the three of them huddle into a ball, and their legs kept shaking.

Very speechless, I glanced at the three people whose legs were obviously shaking, but Yong Ye walked in again ahead of the pack.

"Don't worry, I don't eat people, come in with me, I just came in a hurry and didn't bring the servants from the north, so I want you to be my servants in the imperial capital, after all, it is impossible for the maids given by the little emperor There will be no spies installed by the ministers, and there are women in the personal soldiers, but I can't let them help me with the laundry, right? I will leave the cleaning and tidying up to you. I have no time to waste. Do housework."

"Really? If that's the case, then thank you so much, we must... eh? Wait... cleaning... tidying up... such a big place, it's impossible for the three of us..."

Ai Er and her two friends first breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Yong Ye cautiously in, but when they glanced at the mansion again, they immediately took a breath, and they almost lost their footing.

This super-large mansion, its garden is as often seen in comics and animations, large enough to play football or even golf, the central residence is a stone Gothic building, the main building in the middle There are nine floors, and the annexes on both sides are five floors. The area is a bit surprising, and it is not a problem to live in two or three hundred people.

Such a large-scale building is definitely not something that three people can maintain. Even if they don't sleep 24 hours a day, the three of them can't complete such a large workload.

But... Yongye, their new master, at first glance, it is not someone they can refuse, or they are forcibly forced to work, and these people who have no human rights have no way to resist.

"...Don't think too much, you only need to be in charge of the room I use, other places will hire someone or someone sent by the little emperor to deal with it, and then... your task now is to help me clean up my room ."

Yong Ye, who had seen through the thoughts of the three, interrupted their delusions of persecution, and instead of taking them to the master bedroom, which he didn't even know about, he looked at the guards on the side and asked the guards who came here first to lead them. They went to his master bedroom, and he himself went to the small training ground in the mansion.

Although he knew that the gold given by the little emperor was already in place, he did not intend to check the gold given to him by the little emperor, because Yong Ye knew that these personal guards would handle the matter well.

After all, in addition to the characteristics of being brave and not afraid of death and the characteristics of well-equipped and well-trained elites who serve as generals' personal guards or decisive forces in the battlefield, the biggest feature is loyalty.

If you say that the personal guards are not credible, then there are too few credible ones. You must know that in the military regulations of ancient wars, there is generally an iron rule that "the master will die, and the personal guards will be killed for no reason".

Of course, in addition to the necessary trust in his subordinates, he didn't bother to count, because it was meaningless.

On the open training ground in the open air of the mansion, Yong Ye continued to slash with a blade under the moonlight, doing nothing, just waving his sword like this.

The full moon that flutters quietly illuminates all the darkness in the world, bringing the necessary lighting to this unlit training ground.

If he does not become stronger, he will lose the meaning of existence. Therefore, when emptiness blows through his chest, loneliness arises in his chest, and when loneliness tears his chest, he just keeps swinging his sword, either killing the enemy or doing the most basic practice. , as usual, to become stronger as the meaning of existence.

The unspeakable loneliness in his heart was really uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell anyone anything, so in the middle of the night, which was supposed to be a time to sleep, but it made him feel very heavy, he could only keep waving. sword.

At this time, he can only choose to believe that if he does like this... if he can continue to become stronger, then at the end of this long journey, he will definitely reach the place he wants to go back to.

Time may be a lot blurry for many people, but his memory is very ordinary, and he has never forgotten the promise he made.

The night was already deep, and the normal sleep time had long passed, but facing the never-ending dream, he didn't want to sleep, maybe... he was afraid of something, and he didn't want to try to fail again.

The moonlight illuminates the world and expels the darkness of the world, but it cannot expel the darkness in Yongye's heart and the darkness of humanity. In this night, there are still a lot of sins hidden in the darkness and happening all the time in the imperial capital.
