Chapter 609 Slave Market
East of the city, the slave market.

A place full of filth and evil, where the world's most unconscionable and bottom-line transactions take place.

population trade.

No matter how prosperous the economy is, no matter how advanced the technology is, and no matter how high the moral level is, the trade behavior of using population as a "commodity" cannot be completely prohibited.

Because there is profit in it.

More than 300% windfall profits.

Slave trader Ward, a middle-aged businessman with a rosy nose, half bald head, and fancy clothes, greeted everyone with a smile, nodded and bowed, and was very enthusiastic in his hospitality...Beside him, there were two A strong orc bodyguard, I don't know how he was recruited.

Only Zhou Ming knew from the greedy red light in his eyes and the ferocious smile that emerged from the corner of his mouth from time to time, that this slave trader who was known as "the largest slave trader in the capital" and "had the best source of goods" was a heinous asshole.

Just based on the hundreds of slaves of various ethnic groups he locked in those iron cages, it is not enough to sentence him to death ten times.

Buying his slaves is equivalent to being his accomplice!It is to encourage him to continue to do this kind of dirty and evil business.

but……

Zhou Ming just wanted to buy two orc maids for his own convenience, and he didn't want to go online.

Perhaps knowing that magicians are rich, Ward personally entertained them, walked through one iron cage after another, and introduced him along the way.

Zhou Ming saw all kinds of slaves.

Among these slaves, there are humans and orcs... In order to make money, slave traders don't care what race you are.

Most of them are human slaves, about 80 people.

There are fewer orc slaves, less than 20... Yadude Kingdom is located in the hinterland of mankind, a hundred thousand miles away from the northern border, and there are not many orc slaves.

Among the human slaves, seeing that most of them were dressed in broken leather armor and standard clothing, like soldiers, Zhou Ming asked about their identities.

"They're all prisoners of war."

"The prisoners of war bought from the Habas Kingdom are healthy, strong, and highly skilled in martial arts. They can be used to do some physical work, or be your personal bodyguards."

Ward explained, and also talked about the war between the Kingdom of Habas and the Kingdom of Kadorn by the way.

These two kingdoms belong to a feud, and wars often break out on the border. These wars are either about land competition, or because of grievances between nobles, or just need a battlefield for harvesting glory... The war between the two countries has been fought for hundreds of years. Years, no intention of stopping.

Most of the prisoners in these cages were captured by the Habas Kingdom in a war... I heard that the Habas Kingdom won a big victory, annihilating nearly 10 Kadorn Legion, and taking countless prisoners.

"He is healthy, so why is he missing an arm? You don't even have a disabled person?"

Passing by a cage, Zhou Ming pointed to a middle-aged man inside and said, this man has a bearded face, a vicissitudes of life, scars and blood stains all over his body, and his right arm is broken at the root, if it is not for the intermittent slight heaving of his chest , Zhou Ming thought he was dead.

"He, named Gazef, is a very famous person in the Kingdom of Kadorn, the commander of the army of the Kingdom of Kadorn, and even a poor unlucky guy... I think he is interesting, so I bought him coming."

"Oh, I want to hear his story."

Zhou Ming became a little interested and asked curiously.

Ward spoke up.

Gazef was born as a commoner, and with his hard work, he became a great swordsman. After joining the army, he was promoted time and time again because of his bravery in battle and his many meritorious deeds.

He cherishes the lives of soldiers, protects the people of his country, is loyal to the kingdom and the king, and is upright and brave... In the middle and lower classes of the kingdom, Gazef's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and he is respected and worshiped by many people.

The king even named him "Kingdom Warrior Captain", and broke the custom of prohibiting civilians from becoming generals, and promoted him to a general, commanding an army of tens of thousands of people.

He also married a beautiful wife and had two beautiful daughters.

At this point in the story, the life of this soldier captain can be described as complete, and he can be regarded as a model for the bottom-level people to realize their dreams.

but……

How could the nobles of the Kadorn Kingdom allow a commoner to climb on top of them?

How could the king be allowed to use Gazef's power to erode the interests of the nobles step by step?

Tragedy came quickly.

An elite army of 1 people.

9 peasant cannon fodder.

Facing the attack of 20 elite cavalry of Habas Kingdom.

And the nobles who tipped off the news inside the country.

If this soldier who had reached the pinnacle of his life is not going to rush to the street, who will go to the street?

After Gazef was defeated and captured, his beautiful wife was taken by a nobleman. His two daughters were still young, but I'm afraid they will become playthings of that nobleman in the future.

As for Gazef himself, no one would pay to redeem him. The king sentenced him to a felony. After the bloody battle with the enemy's masters on the battlefield, he lost his right arm and at most only had one-tenth of his peak strength.

In a word: he is useless.

Looking at his appearance lying in the cage, "a useless person" is the most appropriate description.

After listening to Ward's narration, Zhou Ming shook his head.

Sighing: "Poor man, poor man."

He thought for a while, then asked Ward, "How much did he sell for?"

"100 gold coins."

Ward said: "When I bought him, it was 100 gold coins. I don't earn money from Mr. Wang. If you want it, I can sell it to you at the original price."

That guy hasn't eaten or drank for seven or eight days. Ward doesn't know how many days he can live, maybe he won't even die tomorrow.

Zhou Ming nodded: "Okay, 100 gold coins are sold, and I will send him to my house later."

Perhaps out of sympathy, Zhou Ming bought that poor Gazef, even though he was a cripple with a broken arm, even though he was middle-aged and basically useless... Zhou Ming still bought him.

Then, under the leadership of Ward, Zhou Ming went to see the orc maid.

In the clean and tidy tent, there were four big beds, and there were four pairs of orc maids.

Two of the pairs are cat maids and two are rabbit maids.

Each has its own characteristics.

"The cat maid is relatively petite, very flexible, and quick to work. One cat maid is comparable to two human maids."

"The disadvantage is that they may not be obedient, they will compete for favor, arouse the disgust of the hostess, and some of them may even run away."

"But I have to admit that cat maids are very good in bed, and many men will be crazy about them."

Ward introduced with light in his eyes.

At this time, there happened to be two cat maids, looking at Zhou Ming with agate-colored eyes, arching their backs, wagging their tails behind their buttocks, and licking their lips with their sharp tongues, looking extremely charming.

How can such unsuitable images be seen by teenagers?Zhou Ming asked the tall orc bodyguard next to Ward to take Henry outside the tent.

Henry reluctantly walked out, walked to the door of the tent, turned his head and said, "Teacher, I think the cat maid is very good, why don't you buy two and go home."

Zhou Ming ignored him.

He asked about the situation of the rabbit maid again.

"The bunny maids are a little bigger, about the size of a human being. They are more flexible in their movements and work neatly. They are famous for their cleanliness."

"The advantage is that they have a gentle temperament and are obedient to their masters. They don't have as many tricks as cat maids, but they are also quite flavorful."

"The disadvantage of the rabbit maid is that she is relatively stupid, not as flexible and smart as the cat maid. She is very timid and easily frightened."

"This makes it easier for them to become dependent on their owners, and they will hardly run away."

Ward said.

Zhou Ming nodded.

After such a comparison of advantages and disadvantages, he has a final idea of ​​how to choose.

Rabbit Maid.

He was going to buy a pair of rabbit maids.

The reason is not that rabbit maids are cheaper than cat maids, but that rabbit maids are more serious and more in line with his needs.

After all, for Zhou Ming, the need to be able to do housework well is far greater than the need in the crotch.

Besides, regardless of the cat maid and the rabbit maid, the nose and ears are fluffy, and the appearance of the tail is really cute and cute, but Zhou Ming thinks that the taste is too strong when playing with such creatures. Not a gentleman, he really can't do it.

Then Zhou Ming asked Ward a few more questions:
"What's the price of the rabbit maids, and how much for a pair?"

Some people here must be wondering, it is enough for Zhou Ming to buy one rabbit maid to go back, why buy two to make a pair?There is something special here, Ward explained to him, similar to raising cats and dogs, orc maids also need companions, buy one, no matter cat maid or rabbit maid, it is easy to run away, if you buy a pair, the probability of escape is great Reduced.

"The price for Feifei and Meimei is 5 gold coins."

"The price of Sissy and Lulu is 4 gold coins."

Ward pointed to the two pairs of rabbit maids and said, Feifei and Meimei are older and have longer training time, so they sell more expensively; Sissy and Lulu are younger and have shorter training time, so they are cheaper .

Two maids, 5 gold coins, the price is so expensive that Zhou Ming is speechless.

5 gold coins are enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for 1000 years.

However, this is nothing to Zhou Ming, whose monthly income is more than one million gold coins.

No counter-offer, 5 gold coins, just bought it.

"Can this pair of rabbit maids really do all the housework well and ensure that the meals are delicious?"

When taking out the money, Zhou Ming still asked.

"I promise you can do everything well, Feifei and Meimei, we have trained them for almost ten years, if there is anything you can't do, you can ask me to return it!"

Ward patted his chest and assured that although he had only been trained for five years, he felt that there was no problem. Today's big deal is [-]% settled!

In addition, in order to make Zhou Ming more satisfied, Ward also asked the pair of rabbit maids to call him master.

"Master~"

"Master~"

The pronunciation of these two sounds is not standard, but Zhou Ming still heard it crisply, very satisfied!
Take out the magic crystal card in your pocket and pay the bill without hesitation!

Ward was also very straightforward and gave him a certain discount. The human slave Gazef outside the tent was considered a bonus and given to Zhou Ming.

In addition, seeing this guest with a lot of money and bold moves, Ward revealed a piece of news in Zhou Ming's ear:
"Sir, in three days' time, our Ward Slave Chamber of Commerce will auction off a special commodity - a beautiful elf. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Elves?"

Hearing this word, Zhou Ming's heart moved, and he immediately became interested.
