Doomsday Code
Chapter 8 Magical Pendant
Xie'er's face quickly turned ugly at this moment. He hurriedly ran to the front of the cage, grabbed the bars of the iron cage, broke it directly, and then reached in and grabbed Chen Cheng's dirty and long hair.
After confirming that it was Chen Cheng's face, Xie Er began to feel Chen Cheng's bones all over his body. He wanted to confirm whether Chen Cheng's qualifications were really that useless.
But after he pinched all of Chen Cheng's bones, the deathly gray color on his face became even darker.
In his hands, although Chen Cheng's bones were much stronger than those of his peers, his basic bones were indeed very poor, as if the development of Chen Cheng's bones had reached its peak in this life.
This kind of bone structure is simply the worst of the worst. In a few years, as he gets older, his body functions will decline exponentially.
However, he could never have imagined that Samlett, the legendary strongman of the entire continent, had already prepared for this. When Chen Cheng was three years old, he had imprisoned his bones, making it impossible for people to detect Chen Cheng's martial arts talent by touching his bones. As for magic, he was also powerless.
Of course, Samlett's original intention was to reduce Chen Cheng's conspicuousness in front of outsiders. After all, one could tell from his physique that he was a top-notch warrior genius without even touching him.
He would never have thought that Chen Cheng would be captured by slave traders.
Seeing this, the pastor Farmar next to him snorted with disdain. Scorpion's action just now was an insult to him, a devout believer of the God of Light.
By now, Scorpion was so frightened by the cold snort that he broke out in a cold sweat. What happened to him just now? Was he confused? He actually dared to not believe in the identification skills of a priest in front of him.
These priests are not ordinary magicians who will become the boss for a little money. They have all been educated by the church since childhood and have a place in the church.
In this world where theocracy is supreme, questioning a clergyman is more damning than questioning a noble lord.
Scorpion immediately bowed and apologized to Farmar, "I'm sorry, Pastor Farmar. I was so anxious just now that I lost my mind. Please forgive a devout believer of the God of Light who was deceived."
When he heard him mention the God of Light, Farmar, who was originally a little angry, immediately showed a pious look on his face, and muttered a few classic sentences he had learned since childhood. Then he forgave Scorpion's rude behavior.
Now it is time for Baron Kekeber to come forward and discuss the price of Chen Cheng's deal with Scorpion. Before, Baron Kekeber was afraid that Chen Cheng's talent was too extraordinary and it would cost a lot of gold coins.
But now Chen Cheng's qualifications were rated as trash among trash, so the price naturally plummeted. Not to mention that he was suffering from severe typhoid fever and was dying, which made him even less valuable.
Although it is not worth much, and its physique and talent are still trash among trash, but who can blame my precious daughter for liking it?
Looking at Kekeber's smile, Xie'er knew that he had made a mistake this time. If he had known earlier, he would have checked Chen Cheng when he caught him, and if it was useless, he would have executed him directly to avenge his men.
To be honest, Scorpion really wanted to stop selling the car and just drag Chen Cheng out and skin him alive to relieve his hatred.
But thinking that Chen Cheng had been favored by Baron Kekeber's most beloved daughter, and that he had not directly refused just now, and wanted to use the priest's appraisal results to scare the baron away, he had to sell him now even if he didn't want to.
In the end, Scorpion had to compromise.
He also knew that he had suffered a serious setback this time, and the slave-hunting team he had worked so hard to build would probably have to be disbanded in the future.
Then the two of them began to discuss his price in front of Chen Cheng. Finally, after Xie Er's earnest request, Kekeber finally bought him at the "sky-high price" of two gold coins.
You have to know that for someone of his low qualifications and illness, his price would not exceed fifty silver coins at most, and Kekeber gave him two gold coins, which is two hundred silver coins.
The price was four times higher, which could be attributed to the fact that so many of his men had died.
Of course, as a baron, Kekeber did not think too highly of these slave traders, otherwise if he really valued them, he would have offered a higher price considering that so many of their people had died.
When Chen Cheng was handed over, Scorpion and others went through everything on him. They found that the only thing of real value was the iron rod that had killed many of his men. The rest, like the worn-out leather armor, blackened broken stones and inferior iron swords, were all waste among waste.
After the slave contract was signed, a slave collar was put around Chen Cheng's neck by Kekeber's butler.
This slave collar was previously used by nobles to tame wild beasts. It is engraved with magic arrays, and its owner can use the magic key in his hand to control the magic arrays to inflict magical electric shocks and other punishments on the wearer.
Then Farmar gave Kekeber a favor and treated Chen Cheng with the excision technique.
Under Farmar's chanting, a magic pattern outlined by white light appeared in front of Chen Cheng, and then a holy light with white sacred attributes fell on Chen Cheng, and the cold bacteria in his body were almost all eliminated under this holy light.
Although his severe cold had almost healed, his physical weakness still existed. Farmar, who had already cast two spells, also felt a little tired, so Chen Cheng still needed to heal his weak body by himself.
And Kekeber bought Chen Cheng for his little Finnie, so the magic key of Chen Cheng's slave collar was also handed over to Finnie.
After getting the magic key, Finnel also smiled happily, then jumped up and kissed Kekeber on the face.
Then she ordered Chen Cheng to follow her away, but Chen Cheng was too weak at this time and fell into a coma before he could stand up.
........................
When Chen Cheng opened his eyes again, he saw the stone wall above his head, and then he heard some hazy sounds in his ears. As he became more awake, the sounds in his ears became clearer.
"Hey, Sophia, our Miss Finnel is really kind. Even the wild monkey inside was in such a state, Miss didn't give up on him, and even asked the two of us to take care of him."
"Jenny, please keep your voice down. To be honest, although the wild monkey in there is not very talented, his physique is also very good, especially his private parts. When I was wiping his body, I couldn't help but touch it twice..."
"Oh, you are so shameless, but don't say it..."
Then the two maids outside strayed from the direction while talking, and Chen Cheng in the room saw the linen clothes beside the bed and immediately picked up the clothes and started to put them on.
At this time, the voices of the two maids came towards him, and before Chen Cheng could speak, they pushed the door and walked in.
When they saw Chen Cheng getting dressed, the two maids chuckled, because the clothes Chen Cheng was wearing now looked like he was tied up with ropes.
The reason for this was that Chen Cheng had never worn this style of jumpsuit, and Sophia and the two little maids thought that Chen Cheng was just a wild monkey, so they didn't understand.
The two maids came to Chen Cheng, chatting and laughing, and then began to take off Chen Cheng's clothes. Regardless of the shyness of gender, they directly began to demonstrate to Chen Cheng how to put on clothes.
"You are so lucky, wild monkey. The young lady not only let us take care of you, but also prepared new clothes for you. Now you have to learn how to wear these clothes from me. After you put on the clothes, you will no longer be a wild man in the mountains."
The two maids demonstrated and chattered away, and finally helped Chen Cheng put on his clothes while his face was blushing.
"Well, Jenny, you see, I was right. This wild monkey dressed like this really is a strong and handsome young man."
"Hey Sofia, stop being such a fangirl. Miss said she would inform me when he wakes up."
"Oh, I see."
"Little monkey, don't run around. Just stay here quietly. Your master, our eldest lady, will come to see you later."
The two of them didn't care whether Chen Cheng understood or not. After they finished their instructions, the two little maids locked the door while laughing and playing and went to look for Finny.
Chen Cheng listened to the footsteps of the two maids walking away. He looked at the linen clothes on his body and the collar around his neck, and finally lay on the bed and sighed.
"Chen Cheng, oh Chen Cheng, you never thought that you would become a slave right after you came out of the mountains, damn, this is fucking bullshit."
Chen Cheng now has no intention of running away. The magic patterns on the collar around his neck show that he is not someone to be trifled with.
When thinking of the magic patterns, Chen Cheng thought of his sword.
Before he passed out, he remembered that Scorpion and his gang only took his homemade shotgun, and gave all the rest to Finnel and the others.
Then he stood up and looked around the little stone house until he saw his things in the corner.
The crystal pendant, the animal skin clothes and the iron sword he had hidden were all neatly placed in the corner.
Chen Cheng stood up and walked to the corner to pick up the crystal pendant his mother had given him, and then put it around his neck again.
This crystal pendant was purple and shiny when he was young, but as he grew older, the luster of the pendant became lower and lower, and finally it became black and dull without any gem texture as it is now.
But perhaps it was this change that made Scorpion and his people not realize that this was a gem, otherwise the only relic left to him by his mother in this life would have been taken away by Scorpion and his people.
Just as he was about to bend over to pick up the iron sword, there was a sudden click and the slave collar around his neck was untied and fell to the ground.
Looking at the collar that suddenly fell off, Chen Cheng thought it was done by Finny, but when he looked around and didn't see anyone, he knew it was probably not done by Finny.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Cheng turned his eyes to the crystal pendant he had just put on his neck.
Chen Cheng picked up the collar on the ground and put it on again, then touched the collar with the pendant on his neck. Then he saw the locking magic pattern on the collar suddenly stop, and then the collar was unlocked.
Before Chen Cheng could get excited, he heard the chattering of a woman outside the house. He knew it was Finny coming, so he immediately put the collar back on.
