In the human world, there were many sources of slaves, but there were four types. The first type was the alien races that the slave hunters hunted. Orcs, goblins, elves, and other foreign races were legal commodities as long as they were captured and labeled as slaves.
The second type was the non-noble captives captured by the victors on the battlefield during human civil wars. If these captives could not pay the corresponding ransom, they would be beaten into slaves.
The third was when the family lost their source of income and voluntarily sold themselves as slaves for gold coins or were sold to the slave market by their guardians, becoming slaves.
The fourth was the family members of the nobles who were implicated in the crime of treason.
Basically, in every human city, there would be a slave trade market to carry out the slave trade to meet the needs of the people.
Slaves were the cheapest form of labor, and they could be driven to work without paying any wages. The lord still had to pay the slaves a salary for their labor.
Moreover, slaves had no human rights. Everything belonged to their masters. Their sons were also slaves of their masters. If they wanted to obtain freedom, it was completely up to their masters. If a slave was killed, the master did not have to take any responsibility because it was his private property.
Amongst the slaves, the elves, the orcs, the foxes, the cats, the winged race, and other races that produced handsome men and beautiful women were the most popular among the human nobles, and their prices were also the highest. Next were some beautiful women, powerful warriors, scholars with knowledge, and the lowest were ordinary people without any skills.
After entering the slave market, Avril explained the origins of the slaves and other things to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu nodded as he listened. The two of them walked around the huge slave market just like that. When the two of them walked to a huge iron cage, Cheng Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Inside the cage was actually a female elf with green hair and a pair of pointed ears. Although her face was dirty, Cheng Yu could still see that she was definitely a stunning beauty. Moreover, the reason why Cheng Yu was stunned wasn't because of the elf's appearance. It was her hot figure that didn't look like an elf at all.
"I didn't expect that there would be elves for sale in such a small city!”
Avril, who was standing beside Cheng Yu, also sighed when she saw the elf in the cage.
"Young master, you have good eyesight. We just captured this female elf.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a wretched expression walked over and said respectfully to Cheng Yu and the other man.
"Strength, price?"
Cheng Yu didn't waste any time and directly asked about her strength and price.
"Eh! Tier 5 Shadowarcher, 5000 gold coins "
The wretched uncle was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Cheng Yu to be so direct, but he quickly reacted.
"No way! I remember that last time in Heavenly Moon City, a Silver Archer of the seventh step only cost 8000 gold coins. Don't think that you can deceive our young master just because he's young!”Hearing this, Avril immediately questioned the perverted uncle.
"Miss, you might not know this, but the level 7 elf in Heavenly Moon City has been used by someone before, that's why it's so cheap. Mine is different. She's a virgin and definitely has never been used before, so 5000 gold coins is definitely not a loss!”
"Give me the contract!"
Hearing this, Cheng Yu sized up the ashen-faced female elf and directly took out 5000 gold coins and handed it to the wretched uncle.
"Young Master, you're so straightforward! This is your contract!"
When the wretched uncle saw Cheng Yu take out 5000 gold coins so readily, he was stunned again. However, he quickly took out the female elf's slave contract and handed it to Cheng Yu.
After the exchange, the wretched uncle released the female elf from the huge iron cage.
"As long as you protect me, I might return this contract to you!”
Cheng Yu looked at the ashen female elf and waved the slave contract.
Hearing this, the female elf's originally ashen expression improved a little. She looked at Cheng Yu and asked,"Is what you said true?"
"Believe it or not!"
Cheng Yu shrugged and continued walking forward.
Avril looked at Cheng Yu's grown-up appearance and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
The female elf quickly followed after Cheng Yu left. Although she didn't know if Cheng Yu was telling the truth, it was better to have hope of getting back her slave contract than to have no hope, right?
Cheng Yu and the other two walked around the slave market again and left after not seeing any suitable slaves.
After returning to the manor, Cheng Yu took out the slave contract and looked at it. Then, he said to the female elf standing in front of him,"I can return this contract to you, but I want you to swear to the Elven Goddess that you will swear loyalty to me with your life!”
Hearing this, the female elf was stunned. She looked at the human child in front of her and didn't know why she felt that he didn't look like a child at all. Instead, he looked like a shrewd human merchant.
Avril didn't expect Cheng Yu to say that either, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved. If this female elf really swore to the Elven Goddess, it would definitely be much better than a slave contract.
After all, the effect of a slave contract was only to deprive the slave of the right to die and allow the slave to suffer some torture. It was impossible for her to protect someone voluntarily. Sometimes, she might even deliberately let someone assassinate her master.
It would be different if she swore to the god she believed in. That way, this elf would definitely protect Cheng Yu wholeheartedly. At the thought of this, Avril looked at Cheng Yu differently. She no longer looked at him as if she was looking at a younger brother, but as if she was looking at a man she liked.
"If I willingly become your guard, will you give me the same dignity?”The female elf thought for a moment and looked at Cheng Yu with a burning gaze.
"That depends on whether you dare to bet or not. Actually, personally, I don't have any feelings for you elves. After all, you're just a little better looking.”Cheng Yu said calmly to the female elf.
The female elf looked at Cheng Yu for a while before saying to him with a solemn expression,"I, Kali, swear to the Mother Elven God that from today onwards, I will use my life to protect the person before me until the last drop of blood is drained.”
After she finished her last word, a ball of green light floated out from her forehead and flew into Cheng Yu's hand. However, what happened next stunned the three people present. They saw that the ball of green light floated out again less than a second after it flew into Cheng Yu's hand.
The screen at the corner of Cheng Yu's eyes also popped up, and a dialog box popped up.
God System activated! Do you accept the soul imprint?
Cheng Yu was stunned when he saw the dialog box. Then, he saw the introduction of the God System in a small question mark on the dialog box.
Kali was also stunned when she saw her Seed of Oath being reflected by Cheng Yu. Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled back by Avril.
Kali looked over and saw Avril shaking her head slightly. The three of them just stood there in a strange manner.
"The situation has changed a little. Let me ask you, are you willing to protect me forever?”
After a long while, Cheng Yu looked at Kali again and asked a question that stunned Kali and Avril.
"My oath to the Mother Elven God was to protect me until the end of my life. Is there any difference between this and what you said about eternal life?”Kali looked at Cheng Yu in confusion.
"It's not the same. I'm talking about eternal life. If you die, I'll resurrect you to work for me. In other words, your entire body and soul will belong to me forever.”Cheng Yu shook his head and looked at Kali calmly.
Cheng Yu's words immediately shocked the two women. He could actually resurrect the dead? This was an ability that only gods possessed!
"Little Yu, what are you doing?"
Avril also looked at Cheng Yu in confusion.
Cheng Yu shook his head at her and continued to look at Kali, waiting for her answer.
Kali looked at the slave contract in her hand and then at Cheng Yu, who was looking at her calmly.
"I'll give you one day to consider. You can give me an answer tomorrow.”Just as she was about to agree, Cheng Yu spoke up.
Kali nodded.
"Avril, arrange a room for Kali to rest in! Come to my room after you're done. I have something to say to you.”After saying that, Cheng Yu walked straight to his room.
Avril looked at Cheng Yu's back. She felt that the little boy who had lived with her for so many years had finally grown up. He was no longer the little brat who only knew how to follow behind her.
After Cheng Yu returned to his room, he recalled the introduction of the gods.
According to Cheng Yu's understanding, this divinity wasn't a subordinate relationship in the ordinary sense. Instead, everything completely belonged to Cheng Yu, whether it was the body or the soul. As long as Cheng Yu thought about it, he could control the life and death of his divinity.
There were two ways to become a god. One was to make an oath with one's soul like Karifa. That way, the system would record the other party's soul imprint into the system and the other party would become one's god.
The second type was summoning. As long as Cheng Yu summoned a character from the system, it would automatically become his god.
The benefits of becoming a god were that Cheng Yu could help them increase their potential, or their physical attributes. He could also help them exchange for skills in the system. These were all benefits that could only be obtained after becoming a god.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Cheng Yu didn't need to think to know that it was Avril.
"Come in! door was not
