Lord Helanza

Pena City Slave Market is located on the west side of Nancheng District, close to Nancheng Workshop District, and is the end of a free market built along the street.

This place is occupied by some slave dealers all year round. The slaves are tied up with shackles and stand on the high stone platform beside the street. Some slaves have wooden tokens at their feet, and some have nothing at all. , As long as someone stops in front of these slaves, the slave vendors waiting next to them will enthusiastically introduce the price of each slave on the stage.

The metallurgical and leather workshops of Pena City are planned in the same area, which is called the workshop area by the citizens.

This workshop area is close to the south city wall. The City Hall Urban Construction Department draws water from the moat outside the city into an independent inland river in the workshop area. The kilometer-long culvert drains directly outside the city.

There are nearly two hundred chimneys in the workshop area, and there is a workshop under each chimney. There is thick smoke above the workshop, and the workshop area is adjacent to the slum area of ​​Pena City. Shrouded by the dense smoke above the city, it can be said that the slum area here is gradually formed due to the existence of the workshop area.

Dajinxi has a high platform on the slave market. Apart from a few ferocious-looking half-animal female slaves standing on it, there are only a dozen indigenous slaves who don’t know which plane they caught. These slaves automatically formed two small groups on the high platform. At the edge of the high platform stood several ugly kobolds, who were locked together by a chain, squinting half-lying on the stone platform. , The spirit seemed a little sluggish.

During the plane war, a large number of slaves were sent to the outside battlefield, so there were hardly any strong male slaves in the market.

Surdak passed through this lively market and saw several gorgeously dressed nobles standing in front of the dwarf slave, bargaining with the slave master.

Dwarf slaves are very popular in the market, mainly because they are familiar with forging and brewing ale at birth. A strong dwarf slave is more like a money-making machine.

Compared to these dwarf slaves, those half-orc slaves from the remote mountains of the empire are not so popular.

Most of these half-orcs were born in the vast mountains bordering the orc tribe. Many villages there are mixed between humans and orcs, and the half-orcs captured by slave dealers are neither humans. , Do not belong to the orcs, they are not protected by the imperial decree and the tribal orc laws, and have become regular visitors in the slave market.

Samira recognized that a slave dealer standing under the high platform was under the hands of Dai Kinsey, and secretly told Surdak.

Surdak entire group strolled around in the slave market and found that there is a kobold slave only on the high platform of Dajinxi, so I asked the slave dealer for the price of the kobold slave, the slave The trafficker also knew Samira, so he hurried to the warehouse and called Dajinxi over.

……

Planar wars have made the slave market prosperous, and many male slaves have been sent to the battlefield to become the forefront cannon fodder, resulting in the price of male slaves in the slave market. Far higher than female slaves, and basically still in a state of short supply.

Dajinxi met Surdak and Samira and the others in front of the stall.

"Surdak Knight, I heard that you want to buy a kobold slave?" Dai Kinsey hurried over from across the street, the scar on his face turned a little red.

"That's the intention." Surdak stood in front of the high platform and replied.

Dajinxi eyes shined, approached Surdak with a smile, turned his head and looked towards those kobold slaves, and said again and again: "You are so insightful, these kobolds are from the plane of Fior. Just look at their teeth to know how young they are. They are easy to feed. They only need some sweet potatoes, some melon vines, and wheat bran to live well. They are best at digging, but if you want to use them to cultivate The land is not impossible, they can definitely do some simple farm work."

In order to verify the health of these kobolds, Da Jinxi took a hook into the mouth of the kobold slave. Pulling away the thick lips of the kobold slave, forcibly exposed the canine teeth inside.

The kobold slave let out a dull howl.

Surdak stopped Da Jinxi and continued to lift the lips of another kobold slave, and said to Da Jinxi: "I plan to buy two hundred kobold slaves, but before that, I want to understand Price!"

Dakinsey touched his bright forehead and said to Surdak:

"The price is easy to say, and I buy kobolds, the more the quantity, the more discount Big."

"Excluding those special slaves, dwarves on the slave market are probably more than fifteen gold, and adult craftsman dwarves even reach about 20 gold, followed by male half-orcs who can be sent to the battlefield. These half-orcs have strong physiques. These male half-orcs are widely used on the battlefield. They are basically priceless, and the market clearly marked the price of fifteen gold."

"Followed by some small planes The native slaves transported over can be used to cultivate plantations, but they are not suitable for combat. They are worth about eight golds. Again, Level 1 is these orc female slaves. Due to their gender issues, it is difficult to be sent to the battlefield. , These half-orc female slaves are difficult to tame and discipline, and their physical strength is comparable to that of adult imperials, so the price has to be discounted, usually around the hardware."

"As for these kobold slaves, You can make another half discount on the price of the orc slave girl. Now two gold one, two hundred kobold slaves only need four hundred Gold Coins. At such a low price, if the budget is sufficient, I suggest you buy more... …"

Surdak just walked around in the slave market, and roughly inquired about the price of slaves in the market, which is basically the same as what Daikinsey said.

Surdak seriously considered it. Based on the few bargaining experiences, he felt that it was necessary to meet and cut in half... So he said very decisively: "One Gold Coin, if possible, just Help me choose two hundred kobolds who are strong and free from any disease."

Dakinsey didn't expect Surdak Knight to make a fiercely cut at the best price he offered.

He took a breath in his chest, which instantly made his face flush. The refusal reached his throat, but he swallowed it back into his stomach.

Thinking that if Surdak hadn't rushed over in the warehouse, the kobold slaves in the warehouse might be ready to load the truck and transport them to the cemetery outside the city to dig and bury them on the spot. Now someone is willing to take over, although the price is extremely low, but at least a little cost can be recovered.

Da Jinxi’s face turned red and white several times, but finally his face eased, and he smiled and said to Surdak, "You can rest assured that you can choose whatever you want, and I promise all kobolds Slaves do not have any infectious diseases. Before coming to the Grimm Empire, they used quicklime powder to repeatedly kill the parasites on their bodies. There is absolutely no problem in this regard."

Surdak considered that he wanted to bring two hundred people The kobold slaves transported back to Helanza. Even if they rented magic trucks, they would have to pay high transportation fees to the carts and horses. Then they said to Daikin West: “The final destination of these slaves is my Knight collar outside Helanza. You are responsible for the transportation of this batch of slaves."

Dajinxi's eyes turned black, the blue veins on his forehead bulged, and the thought of beating people was in his heart.

To start a magic airship, in addition to the crew and the others' labor costs, the 16 Devil Crystal Stones needed to activate the aerospace device alone are worth nearly 100 Gold Coins. The kobold slave is sent to Helanza City, and there are less than a hundred Gold Coins left in Dajinxi.

But at this time, an assistant next to him hurriedly whispered a few words in the ear of King West.

The magic airship near the airport terminal in Pena City was temporarily conscripted by the Pena Provincial War Headquarters. Helanza City was one of them. Passing these kobold slaves by the way is actually nothing.

Dajinxi quickly raised his chest and said to Surdak: "It's okay to leave the transportation to us, but I can only promise to help you deliver to the Helanza Airport Terminal, the remaining section of the road It’s up to you to figure it out, and I sincerely invite you to join this pleasant journey, and it is also convenient for us to immediately hand over these slaves when we arrive at the Helanza Airport Terminal."

The other party agreed to free transportation. This is Surdak. I didn't expect, I thought Dajinxi would take the opportunity to ask for some transportation fees, but didn't expect the other party didn't even mention it.

Seeing that Daikinxi readily agreed to his request, Surdak also happily extended the hand and said to Daikinxi: "Deal!"

"Happy cooperation ."

Dajinxi and Surdak gave a high-tap, which is considered to have finalized the deal.

Surdak is also very refreshing. He directly took the bag of Gold Coins obtained from the sale of two short-handled muskets at the Magic Trading Trading Company in the morning from the waist, and picked out fifteen from the inside. The rest Together with the purse, he handed it to Da Jinxi.

The price of a Gold Coin and a kobold is absolutely acceptable. Surdak used two hundred kobold slaves to liberate the young and strong labors in Wall Village and speed up the renovation project in Wall Village.

Dajinxi provided Surdak with a door-to-door service, so that Surdak temporarily decided that the squad entire group would return to Helanza City in advance with the magic airship of Dajinxi.

Of course, to return to Helanza city in advance, you have to ask for leave from Carl and Viscount Emmet.

……

In the courtyard of the hotel.

"Are you leaving early?"

Carl stopped practicing the wooden sword and asked Knight to find someone else, pointing to the row of wooden frames in the yard. Sword, motioned Surdak to compete with him.

Surdak was standing next to Ogre Gulitum. He had no interest in this kind of wooden sword battle, so he shook the head and refused Karl's invitation.

This kind of combat practice has many restrictions. Although it can improve your sword technique, it is very impractical on the battlefield.

"Well, this is your freedom!"

Looking at the Ogre Gulitem in the inner courtyard, Carl felt that Surdak took into account the feelings of Ogre. Will give up taking a more comfortable magic airship and return to Helanza City by land.

He said to Surdak: "This season, there are barren mountains and ridges everywhere outside the city. In fact, there is no good scenery. It is far better to take a magic airship to enjoy the scenery of Pena Province."

"..."

Surdak thought to himself:'I didn't say not to take the magic airship back to Helanza City...'

But he didn't explain anymore, these guards camp Knight If you hear that there is a magic airship about to go to Helanza City, if you all propose to take this magic airship back to Helanza, that would be the worst.

One side is a slave trafficker wandering on the edge of the imperial decree, and the other is a guard battalion Knight who strictly enforces the imperial decree to maintain urban order...

A lot of unforeseen things will happen on the ship. .

Surdak finally held back, and did not tell Karl how to return to Helanza City.

Carl wrote an application and submitted it directly to Viscount Emmet.

The Helanza guard camp returned triumphantly this time, and Viscount Emmet did not impose any additional restrictions, so he signed the application form.

Soon, Karl personally sent the Surdak squad entire group out of the hotel.

"Then we will see you in Helanza City..."

The two gave a hug.

A group of Knights stood in front of the hotel and said goodbye to Surdak.

Surdak boarded a magic caravan, ogre leaned on the shelf behind the magic caravan, the whole magic caravan was crunched by ogre, and zhi zhi twisted away from the car. Narrow alley.

The magic caravan turned at the crossroad in front and drove south along a smooth street in the city to the airport terminal outside the city. 1

……

At the end of the setting sun, the tall towers on the airport terminal cast a long shadow in the fields.

In the airport terminal outside Pena, a long line of kobold slaves climbed up the tower of the airport with heavy steps. Several slave dealers stood outside the line with their whips in their hands. The kobold slaves who came to the sun had chains hanging on their bodies, one by one, they walked up the tower and got into the lower cabin of the magic airship.

These kobold slaves are probably one of the few slaves that can be shipped to all parts of the empire without any control.

Almost without those slave traffickers, he walked into the cabin numbly.

The inside staff standing on the airport terminal looked at these slave dealers with disdain, and urged them continuously:

"Hurry up, let them go, be careful, Don’t let these smelly kobold towers on the floor of the terminal, you slave dealers are responsible for the final cleaning..."

"There are other airships that are about to stop. You must set sail immediately. The airship behind gave up the dock." An old man standing under the tower of the airport shouted to the captain of the magic airship standing with the slave dealer.

"We will leave soon." The captain of the magic airship quickly agreed.

At this time, a magic caravan stopped outside the airport terminal. The tall ogre Guliterm took the lead to jump off the shelf behind the caravan and immediately attracted the attention of many people when he stood at the door of the terminal.

The door of the carriage was pushed open, and Surdak walked out of the carriage with Samira, Andrew and the entire group of Aphrodite.

Walking into the airport terminal, Surdak looked at the old man who bought the tickets from a distance. The old man probably recognized Surdak and raised his hat and waved to Surdak.

Surdak gave a Knight ceremony and directly boarded the airport tower. The slave dealer who was in charge of contacting saw Surdak and said to Surdak kindly:

"You are really here. Just in time..."

At this time, Surdak just saw the last few kobold slaves entering the bottom cabin, and asked the slave dealer: "Are all ready? When do we leave? "

"Leave now!" The captain standing next to the slave trafficker said: "We must hurry to find the channel in the airflow layer before it gets dark..."
