Chapter 120 Ninth Young Master's Business
Nangong Yue stayed in the Jiu Gongzi's house for half a month before the Jiu Gongzi appeared again. Nangong Yue spent the past nine days reading a lot of books in the Jiu Gongzi's study, which benefited a lot.
The Ninth Young Master took Nangong Yue to the imperial capital with him. He wanted to deliver goods and to recommend some people to Nangong Yue. In his words, it is easier to do things if you know more people and easier to do good things.
"When you arrive, call me Master Jiu. You are my distant nephew." Master Jiu ordered.
"Yes. It's just been so many days, and I'm still asking for advice on the honorary name of the gentleman." Nangong Yue said.
"My surname is..." The Ninth Master hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't tell you yet, go and see the goods I'm holding. You don't know what business I'm doing."
As the Ninth Master said, he led Nangong Yue onto the carriage to be escorted. This carriage is different from the ordinary carriage. The carriage is made of wood, and the wood is carved with complex patterns. This is a formation. A small box under the carriage is filled with magic crystals, which continuously provides energy for the spiritual array.
The first step on the carriage, Nangong Yue felt only cold! It was so cold that it was as cold as the bone marrow. He used his spiritual power to drive the cold out of his body. The Ninth Young Master twisted the mechanism in the carriage. Only then could Nangong Yue see clearly what was in the carriage. The inside was filled with people who had not grown up. They were naked and frozen in the carriage. The faint blue light scattered on their bodies proved that these people... were all semi-humans trained by humans!
"Are you doing the doll business?" Nangong Yue was surprised. He had seen in the book that the use of half-human being used as a strategic reserve and has always been firmly controlled by the royal family within the Dragon God Empire. It seems that the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the royal family of the Dragon God Empire is extraordinary.
"Yes, I am a doll business, it's a surprise. This business is not easy to do. He is coveted by many people. There are far more people who want to pull you down than those who want you to continue to stay in this position." The Ninth Master replied, closing the door of the carriage. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The Mr. Wu is the one who studies the most dolls in the Empire. He is a pharmacist himself. One of the books you read about introducing dolls was written by him. He fell in love with his own dolls, but he did not find a solution in the end. So, I'm not sure if there is anyone who can cure you in the Four Holy Palaces."
"I understand, but I still want to go. If I don't go, wouldn't I accept my fate? Then what's the difference between the remaining life and waiting for death?" Nangong Yue jumped out of the carriage and rubbed her hands. The carriage was really cold.
"It's right for you to think so, just treat the dead horse as a living horse." said the Ninth Master. He began to call on the convoy to move forward soon, and the goods had been urging them for a long time.
Before leaving, Nangong Yue couldn't help but glance at the carriage again. He sympathized with these dolls, maybe because he had many similarities with them. He also had a short life without me in the past (the doll needed to do very dangerous things, and was more used to fight wars, and it was difficult to live until the organs began to fail.)
But fortunately, I am much lucky than them. After all, I am a human being, and I may be an alien, but I cannot be a doll. Nangong Yue took a picture of her somewhat confused brain and said to herself, "What are you doing if you want this? How can I survive."
