Green Monster Epic

It wasn't until the human clerk slowly explained to Allen that Allen understood what kind of goods this mysterious shop sold.

To put it bluntly, this place is just a place that sells all kinds of magical pets and, incidentally, various intelligent creatures from the Feywild.

This is also the reason why this shop is located deep in Gray Shadow Alley, because in reality, they are not recognized by the mainstream people of the Elven Kingdom, but due to the special demand for their goods, the Elven Kingdom cannot completely ban their existence.

Magical pets are fine, but apart from the overly extreme natural school believers and druids in the kingdom, the Elven Kingdom generally has a kind attitude towards magical pets. After all, whether it is during battle or for girls deep in their boudoirs, most people will raise one or two as a pastime or as a helping hand. However, the business behavior of slave trade is difficult to be loved by the public. Anyone who sees their own race being treated as a commodity and placed in a cage for people to choose will feel a bit of sympathy and dissatisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.

It's the same as when Allen first saw his fellow bear goblins and earth goblins being locked in cages, listlessly waiting for their unknown fate, and the strong feeling of unease arose in his heart.

However, where there is demand, there is naturally a transaction. There are always those wealthy people and those in high positions who, for reasons such as curiosity and enjoyment, cause innocent intelligent species to encounter such a situation as livestock. The strong physique of dwarves, the rich talents of humans, the bold character of orcs, the beautiful faces of elves, etc., will always attract the attention of those who pursue a unique style.

And the not-so-peaceful situation in this world often produces countless prisoners after wars; the survival-of-the-fittest attitude in the wilderness makes it impossible for the slave system to completely disappear.

On the surface, the four major civilized forces of the Feywild do not recognize the slave system, but in private, the high-level officials who control the four major civilizations often have people taking the blame for this bad habit, becoming their protective umbrella hidden in the darkness. As long as there is profit, there will naturally be a vested interest class working hard for this profit.

The shop that Allen is visiting now is the existence that engages in the sale of slaves. It is also in order to cover up that this shop is located deep in Gray Shadow Alley, so as to avoid the eyes of most people and not cause too much trouble.

"This three-eyed raven is an excellent choice for a mage's magical pet. It can usually be used as a mage's eyes and ears to convey various commands, and it can also rely on the mage's spell slots to assist in casting spells."

The human clerk talked eloquently, pointing to a raven grooming its black feathers in a birdcage, and telling Allen about the various benefits of this raven.

Looking at the faint third black eyeball between the raven's eyebrows, Allen was amazed by the magic of nature, but he didn't have the slightest impulse to buy it. The three-eyed raven may be a very valuable thing for mages, but for a warrior like Allen, they are not even as attractive as a piece of food.

"And this scorpion-tailed tiger cub, as long as it is properly raised, after adulthood…"

Seeing that Allen was not interested, the human clerk turned around and promoted another magical pet, trying to impress Allen.

However, obviously, Allen was not very interested in these so-called magical pets. It was already difficult to support a clansman in the wilderness, so where would there be extra food to support a magical pet of unknown use? On the other hand, Allen couldn't help but take a few more glances at the goblins who were being held in custody, and was quickly discovered by the human clerk who was good at observing words and expressions. Then, he gave up promoting magical pets and led Allen towards the slave cages.

"These green skins are good quality goods that have just been captured from the wilderness. Although they are not as tall and strong as you, sir, they can be regarded as qualified warriors among the goblin lineage."

Although he saw Allen's disgusted eyes, the human clerk, who was safe and sound in his own territory, didn't care at all and continued to eagerly promote the bear goblins and earth goblins who were imprisoned together.

"Moreover, goblins are the most cost-effective goods in our shop. Apart from looking a bit stupid and needing more time to train, their price is the cheapest compared to other slave species. Of course, the goblins huddled together over there may be even cheaper, but those guys are weak and slippery, and I believe you won't be too interested."

"If it weren't for our shop having to keep a few goblins to make up the numbers in order to have a complete range of species, you wouldn't be able to see them. Apart from having a few more mouths to help consume food, I really can't see any other use for these little things."

Even the human clerk was full of contempt and ignored the weakest, but most authentic goblins, and didn't even bother to ask Allen when promoting them, which shows the status of goblins in this world.

"What is the price of this bear goblin? What is the price of the earth goblin?"

Although Allen was not satisfied with the tragic situation of his fellow clansmen being sold as goods, he looked at the several so-called construct creatures hanging on the surrounding walls, and he didn't dare to use force. He had no choice but to ask about the price according to the rules.

"You have a good eye, sir. Each bear goblin only costs 5 gold coins, and each earth goblin only costs 3 gold coins. If you buy all the goblins in this cage, then I will take the lead and give you the 5 goblins next to it as a bonus, how about that?"

The human clerk happily gave the price, but Allen's face froze when he heard the price: he had spent too much money on purchasing armor and potions, and now he only had enough money to buy 3-4 goblins.

Feeling helpless, Allen wanted to give up the idea of buying goblin slaves, but when he met the eager, pleading eyes of the bear goblins and earth goblins in the cage, Allen's mood was difficult to calm down.

After all, they were of the same race. Although they were only meeting for the first time, a certain inexplicable emotion in their bloodlines had already produced a strong resonance in Allen's heart when their eyes met.

"Alas!"

Allen sighed in his heart. He couldn't bear the infection of the indescribable strong emotions, and finally asked: "I wonder if you can use other valuables to exchange for gold coins here?"

"Yes, what do you plan to use to exchange, sir?"

The human clerk was not ashamed or annoyed that Allen could not produce gold coins. The other party's luggage was bulging before, indicating that he was not a penniless person, even though he was just a wilderness green skin.

Allen rummaged through the lining of his leather armor, and finally took out two crystal clear, flawless rubies from a secret place. These were originally valuables that Allen brought out from his tribe, intending to sell them for money. Later, after learning that gemstone-like items also had more important uses: such as being used for construct creatures, mages casting spells, craftsmen making enchanted items, etc. Therefore, after learning this information, Allen dispelled the intention of selling them directly, but instead wanted to save them up, and perhaps in the future their tribe could also cultivate a spellcaster, and then they could be of great use.

Even though Regis had told Allen that among the many intelligent races, the goblin lineage had perhaps one of the lowest probabilities of giving birth to a spellcaster profession, Allen still held on to the possibility. After all, magical and powerful spells were ultimately the existence that Allen yearned for in his heart.
