The Yerkes scholar and I only watched two gladiatorial fights before leaving the arena.Although the scenes in the gladiatorial arena were exciting, they didn't have much appeal to Yerkes and me.I've seen a lot of more brutal battles in the Plane Wars, whether it's Hierro or Vasqui, the battles between the spider-man warriors and the Faceless warriors and the Imperial warriors are far more tragic than in the gladiatorial arena.The Yerkes scholars were not very interested in these gladiatorial fights, and after only watching two of them, they felt that it was a waste of time, so they offered to leave.At this time, there was still a group of people gathered outside the gladiatorial arena who had not bought tickets, and they could only gather at the gate of the gladiatorial arena and keep an eye on the news coming from inside, but the place that was surrounded by water was only the entrance to the civilian quarter, and there were no people on the side of the aristocratic quarter, only some attendants, and the Yerkes scholar and I walked out of the gladiatorial arena easily.Watching the Yerkes scholar and Lady Cecilia board the magic caravan, Arya snorted dissatisfiedly and whispered to me: "Her husband, the Marquis de Leon, is not a big-hearted person, and now he is trapped in the Rocky plane and can never come back, of course, it is the best, if the Marquis returns to the imperial capital, you don't forget to remind the Jerkis scholar who fell under Leon's sword, and he can't count them on one hand." ”"It can't be so exaggerated!"
I grinned and said.If that's the case, the Yerkes scholars are really in big trouble for themselves!
Lady Arya turned her head to the side, and the inadvertent charm of her gaze attracted the attention of passers-by.She said to me, "Believe it or not, but you don't even have Ryan.
Bussman doesn't even pay attention to it, probably he can't afford to look down on a marquis!
”I quickly denied it, saying, "I didn't put Ryan.
Bussman didn't pay attention to it, what are you talking about!
Let's go, let's go to the slave market" The slave market in the imperial capital is located in an open space to the west of the gladiatorial arena, and the managers of the slave market have built high platforms here, this is the largest slave market in the imperial capital, second only to the slave market in the airport town.In the slave market, except for the Silver Moon Elves and Wolf Orc slaves, slaves of other races are very common, humans, dwarves, half-orcs, dark elves, barbarians, Naga sea tribes, demons, and so on.Lady Arya was familiar with the place, and she carefully explained to me that these slaves were all legally traded under the laws of the Empire, and the reason why they could be sold in the imperial capital, mainly because these slaves had slave contracts.The slave market here does not sell elves, orcs, and winged people, which are forbidden by the laws of the Race Empire, and can only be seen in the underground slave market.She said to me.These human slaves in the market are generally composed of three kinds of people: the first type is some displaced wanderers, who have lost their homes for various reasons, wars, plagues, personal grudges, in short, after they become wanderers, once they can no longer live, they will choose to sell themselves.The second type is prisoners, war criminals and rebels, many civilians who have violated the laws of the empire, if they do not have the money to redeem their freedom, and they are not sent to the gallows by the judge, then they have to accept the slave contract, and during the prison they become slaves, but this kind of slave has a certain period of time, after the end of the sentence, they will regain their freedom.Rebels who resisted the empire and war criminals from other countries were rarely executed after they were captured, and they were sold as spoils of war by the winners, and the only way for these people to get rid of their slavery status was to have them ransomed with gold coins, which were usually much higher than the price of the slave trade.The third type is the natives of other planes, these people are the main components of the slaves in the slave market, when their homeland is occupied by the imperial army, these natives who dare to resist and refuse to submit will be reduced to slaves and sold to other planes, and some are natives of the plane who are directly captured from other planes by slave hunters.As for dwarf slaves, they were very popular in the imperial capital, mainly because they belonged to artisan slaves, and the dwarves were proficient in construction, casting, mining, metallurgy, etc., so it was rare to see young and middle-aged dwarf slaves in the slave market, and these dwarves would be called gray dwarf robbers in the mouths of slave traders.Even if the seven monarchs of the dwarven kingdom came to the imperial capital, if they wanted to redeem these dwarves, they would need to pay a sufficient amount of gold coins.Slave traders do not dare to openly sell the wolf orcs in the tribe, but this does not affect them to sell some half-orcs, many half-orcs only have a little bit of orc physical characteristics, they look more like humans, the laws of the Grimm Empire do not prohibit intermarriage with the tribal orcs, but this does not mean that the laws of the empire will protect those half-orcs of mixed blood.In many weak principalities and regions outside the empire, there is a custom of intermarriage between humans and orcs, which is the most fiercely contested area by slave traders, and some areas are even directly under the control of some large slave owners, where fertility is usually encouraged, and local lords generally give material subsidies.The Dark Elves are some of the Night Elves and Silver Moon Elves Fallen.
After the fall, the new race formed, the dark elves believe in the goddess Celine, they believe that the survival rules of the demon people are more in line with the laws of the world, and only a very small number of dark elves live on the Roland continent.As for the demons, Lady Arya knows very little, only that many nobles like succubus maids.It's just that the slaves of the four races of dark elves, barbarians, Naga sea tribes, and demons are rare even in the slave market of the imperial capital, and more slaves are only humans, dwarves, and half-orc slaves.Arya and I walked around the slave market roughly, and found that although there were many slave resources in the slave market, there were very few young and middle-aged male subordinates, even if there were a few strong young slaves standing on some high platforms, the selling price was also a bit ridiculously high, basically more than ten times higher than the price of ordinary female subordinates.As for those artisan-type dwarf slaves, there are only some dwarf aunts who are stiff and reluctant to speak and some bald old dwarves with gray beards, female dwarf slaves are the slaves with the worst reputation, in addition to being savage and rude and grumpy, they are not proficient in housework, only the farmer is willing to ask for these dwarf female slaves, as for those old dwarves with gray beards, people are very worried that they will die immediately after buying them back.In comparison, the market for those orc slaves is hotter, but there are still no male subordinates in sight.On the road below the high platform, there are some nobles and slave traders who are ready to buy slaves, everyone is like selecting livestock, standing under the high platform, examining the slaves on the platform or standing or sitting one by one, and when they meet the slaves they like, they will stop, ask the slave owners on the platform about the price and age, and will also check whether these slaves are injured or sick, they will hold their canes, poke around the slaves on the high platform, and sometimes even ask them to open their mouths to see the wear and tear of their teeth, to determine the approximate age.I was originally going to buy some slaves to fill the embarrassment of the lack of manpower in Xinliu Valley, but I didn't expect that the slave market would be like this, and it was difficult to find a suitable male subordinate, which made me lack interest for a while.On the contrary, Arya bought two half-orc slave girls with a fairly standard face on a high platform for twenty gold coins, and the slave owner smiled and handed the slave contract to Arya, tied a hemp rope to the hands of the two slave girls, and handed it to Arya's maid Betty, and said to Arya very respectfully: "Madam, the linen dress on the slave girl is even if I give it to you." ”Arya's face was calm, and she only nodded to the slave owner, and the noble aura revealed on her body made the slave owner dare not lean forward.I asked the slave owner with some curiosity: "In such a large slave market, why are all the female subordinates standing on the stage, and those male subordinates can't even see their shadows?"
”The slave owner wore a baronial medal on his chest, and although he was a nobleman, it was not a decent business, and only those small nobles whose families were in the middle of the way would earn this money from human trafficking.He saw that although I was only wearing the robes of a magic apprentice, and although I didn't have any badge on my chest, I was also very respectful, so he listened to him: "Don't say it's here, even if it's the airport town, it's not easy to buy male slaves, and it's not that there are no male slaves, but those male slaves are bought by the big lords in batches, and this situation has been going on for a long time during the plane war." ”He leaned sideways, vaguely pointed to the high platform over there that sold male slaves at a high price, and muttered in a low voice: "Now in the market, those male slaves are at least four or five times higher than usual, but female slaves are cheaper than usual. ”The slave owner waved the whip in his hand, and the female slaves on the stage showed fear, he randomly called out a half-orc female slave from the slave group on the high platform, let her walk off the high platform, reached out and pinched her strong arm, and pulled her shirt, revealing her strong chest full of chest hair, and said to me with a smile: "These female slaves actually only have a little bit of wolf orc blood, you see, in addition to the heavier hair on their bodies, there are basically no signs of orcs, they are strong and have a good physique, It is difficult to get sick for the rest of your life, and if you buy it back, whether you put it on the manor to do some rough housework, or put it on the farm to grow crops, you are a good hand, and you can do it no worse than those male slaves. ”As he spoke, he didn't forget to pinch the slave girl's mouth and let her show her neat white teeth, so that I could take a look.Then he rolled the eyelids of the slave girls, let me see the gray-brown eyes of the slaves, spit on the arms of the slaves, and then wiped them vigorously with her sleeves to show the true color of her skin, in order to show the blood of the slaves, and the slave owner swore to me: "They were all bought from the Karazan Freedom Alliance, and there is absolutely no problem with their origins." ”Arya stood aside and said, "You said they are from the Karazan Mountains, show us the transaction vouchers, how do I know they are not from the brood?"
”I don't understand the Karazan Mountains, the brood, but it seems that some of the slaves are also very well known.The slave owner immediately made a bitter face and defended: "Madam, where do I have any transaction vouchers here, how can those slave traders who drill the mountains and forests all day long leave evidence." ”The slave owner was scolded by Arya like this, and he did not dare to continue talking to me.Arya and I continued to wander around the slave market, and found that it was common for the market to have a large number of female slaves, and it seemed that the slave owner was right, and sure enough, because of the war, the male slaves in the market were bought by the noble lords, but a large number of female slaves who could be engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry became unwanted.Arya stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said to me, "Is it that the slaves here are not to their liking?"
If you're looking to buy a male slave, I know a big slave trader in the airport town, and he might have something you want to buy. ”I smiled and asked her, "You know the big slave owner, why didn't you tell me before you came here?"
”Arya bit her lip and whispered, "He's the kind of person who is a little bit annoying!"
”"That's fine, but who said that the slaves here don't agree with me, on the contrary, I think these slaves are not bad."
I said.My gaze swept over a high platform filled with orc female slaves.Judging from the aesthetics of the people of the imperial capital, if they were allowed to stand in front of them, they would almost not be able to eat.They are a group of fierce and rude village women, breasted.
The breast looks like two noodle pockets, a bucket waist, and a hip.
The plump part is like a big pumpkin, big.
The legs are thick and powerful.But in the eyes of the orcs, women of this size are rare and easy to raise, only strong women will give birth to children who are healthier, and what is even more rare is that they have orc blood, so the orc warriors of Xinliu Valley should be more receptive to them.I whispered to Lady Arya, "I'm just thinking about how I'm going to take them away after I buy them back." ”Arya couldn't control her voice a little, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand: "Oh my God, Jijia, how many slaves do you want to buy?"
”I smiled at her and said, "Anyway, it's still a lot!"
”Arya said, "Then let them follow behind the magic caravan, do we need to rent a few magic caravans for these slaves?"
”I scratched my head and said, "I just don't want to make a splash, I don't want to be in tomorrow's magic paper." ”Arya said, "We can entrust the carriage company to transport them to any corner of the Imperial Capital except for the Floating Imperial City." ”I said to her, "Didn't you buy a new textile workshop?"
How's the transformation going?
”Arya pursed her lips and smiled, the style was really charming, and she said, "Well, I see, you want to put the slaves you bought back in my weaving workshop." ”I quickly stretched out a finger and said to her, "It won't stay long, one night at most." ”She blinked and said to me, "Whatever you want them to do." ”
