Heaven’s Intention

A ray of sunlight in the morning breaks through the clouds. With a warm light, sprinkled to the earth, a new day finally started again.

This morning seemed very lively, many people had already woken up early, even some nobles who were usually pampered and pampered were no exception.

Today, they are going to a place to screen some warriors who are beneficial to their own safety, and use them to protect the safety of themselves and their families in the future. Today's time is still very precious to them.

Ah San, is the carriage ready?

If you go back to the adults, it's ready and it's outside.

Hurry up, the conference is about to start, if you slow down, the good slaves will be snatched away by others.

I know, I know!

The conversations above were happening continuously this morning.

Because of the constant invasion of the demon army. Except for some large cities, many villages and towns with weak defenses have already been breached by demons. The city of the Earl of Sangukan has now become a temporary refuge for the nearby nobles. A large number of nobles have poured into the city to take refuge. Fortunately, these nobles have established properties in this big city, and they carry jewelry, property, and food with them. , placement is not a problem.

And the evil disasters in the entire inland area also promoted the prosperity of a kind of market-slave trading.

Slave trading has existed since ancient times. People who became slaves had various identities and reasons for becoming slaves.

However, most of the sources of slaves are free people who have lost their land and freedom, and some are soldiers captured in battle, artisans and common people plundered by defeated countries, and they are abducted through other channels. people.

In short, this business has always been prosperous, and slaves are indispensable in the homes of any nobles in any country.

They are the owner's private property, they can be bought, sold, and given away freely, and they are docile and willing to work hard. They are different from those free people who are hired, and are favored by the majority of nobles.

Nowadays. It was the day when a rare slave auction conference started. Although a large number of nobles lived here, compared with the past, life was not so comfortable, but the more this kind of troubled times, the more the rich people worried about their own comfort, Hiring others to protect oneself, although it can solve the temporary crisis, but after a long time, it is still not cost-effective.

Moreover, in times of crisis, servants like slaves are much more loyal than hired freemen or adventurers.

Early in the morning when the conference was held, many nobles drove their carriages towards the location where the slave conference was held.

The pilgrimage business association that held this auction is a powerful business association. This pilgrimage business association is different from ordinary business associations. No one knows how powerful the power behind them is. , the business association already exists.

They do all kinds of business. I heard that there are too many branches under the banner, and most of the branches are unknown to outsiders, possessing an extremely mysterious color.

Someone once speculated that this is the subsystem of the business goddess who has risen in the last thousand years, and it has been recognized by many people.

Such a large business association with great strength and a godly background would not be easily offended by any nobleman.

They can freely hold many auctions in any country without being made things difficult by the local lords, so they can be said to be the dragons among the merchants.

The venue for the slave auction conference was booked in a very grand building. This building is located in a relatively remote place. Usually, no prominent people come here. It has always been considered the property of a small and medium-sized nobleman. Now Please post it, and those nobles who received the post suddenly realized that this building is actually the property of the Pilgrimage Business Association here!

Father, almost all the people outside have arrived, haven't they... A middle-aged man was standing by the window in a room on the third floor of the building. Young man, seeing his father not moving, he said in a low voice.

Okay, I got it, I'll go out right away. The middle-aged man is the host of this auction, a high-level executive of the Pilgrimage Business Association. When he heard his son's question, he said without turning his head.

Oh. Then I'll go out and greet them first. Somewhat afraid of his father's majesty, the young man didn't dare to stay longer, facing the middle-aged man, stepped backwards out of the room, and closed the door gently.

When the footsteps in the corridor outside gradually faded away, the middle-aged man turned his face, revealing a majestic expression.

Then, he turned his eyes out of the window and down the stairs.

There, a lot of gorgeous carriages were parked in a large open space, and nobles kept entering the building under the protection of their servants.

Sure enough, as expected by the president, every auction is overcrowded. He sighed softly, not knowing whether he was lamenting the profits brought by the evil disaster to the business association, or lamenting that the evil disaster brought great profits to the business association. The panic caused by the disaster is so strong.

He smoothed his hair, a few gray hairs fell out, and his expression was very calm. Every time before a big auction, he needed to calm down and calm down.

Goddess is above, President. Elders, I will maximize the interests of the auction as much as possible. This is the duty of a businessman, and it is also my path of faith.

He silently promised to the void, with an expression of neither sadness nor joy on his face, which belonged to a person who truly put the interests of the business association first.

The burly body turned around, and with steady steps, he walked to the door, and slowly pushed the door open by himself.

The auction hall was already full of people.

One into it. The surrounding bright environment dimmed. Only the high platform in front had magic lamps that had not been turned on. This was to allow everyone in the audience to see clearly the designs and arrangements made after each group of slaves came onto the stage. .

The auction house is very large, and it is not difficult to accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, the magic lamp in the center of the auction house suddenly flickered, and the middle-aged master, who was already sitting in a hidden place, was paying attention to the situation of the place.

Although he is the host of the auction house, he doesn't need to appear in person when no major events happen.

I saw a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress came out from the backstage, and was speaking the opening remarks in a charming voice.

It was nothing more than a welcome to participate in the auction. The middle-aged man nodded. In the remote place where he was sitting, he could still see the situation on the stage clearly, which made him very satisfied.

It has to be said that the host of the Pilgrimage Business Association is really good at mobilizing the atmosphere. After a few words from her, the scene became more lively than before.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on the stage, the beautiful woman smiled and said: Everyone, the auction house has acquired a group of strong slaves this time, a total of 200 slaves, and each of them is a healthy man. The age is not more than twenty years old, and they have already begun to receive basic martial arts training. They are all people who have the potential to become warriors, and I want to mention here that these two hundred and ten of them are all voluntary slaves because of family reasons. Absolutely There will be no fleeing, hatred, etc..”

Said, hit the hand, immediately. Under the leadership of several men in uniform, two hundred people walked onto the high platform together.

The stage was huge, and two hundred people stood on it, and it didn't look too crowded.

It's them. The starting price for each is... ten gold coins. The beautiful woman said with a smile.

Ten gold coins?

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and they all felt that the starting price was a bit high.

Here, let me tell you one thing first. I believe that after hearing this, everyone will definitely feel that these prices are not low. Seeing that the scene had cooled down for a while, this beautiful woman was not in a hurry, Instead, he continued: A few years ago, I also sold a group of slaves, about 20 people, and the price of each one was not low. The person who bought them was none other than Miss Sasha's father. , Lord Baron Brown, I believe you have heard of this Lord, right?

After training, these slaves became the family's soldiers. After the territory fell, the people scattered, and only the family slaves continued to follow. It was because of the foundation of these dozens of people, plus the giant eagle druid and others. With the help of Ms. Shasha, the Barony of Boutron has been regained, from this matter, I believe you should be able to appreciate the true value of these slaves, right?

Of course, as far as I know, these slaves have all been released as free citizens and obtained the status of soldiers. They can serve the Butron family for generations.

Therefore, according to special standards, this business association selects various talents from among the refugees, provides specialized training, and opens the purchase channel to everyone.

What? The Barony of Butron was recovered?

There is such a thing!

The nobles who got this from the woman's mouth couldn't help being shocked.

This is really the case, that excellent future combat power is definitely not the current price!

Those who were stimulated by this incident would frantically gather fighters, also hoping to regain their territory. How could the people present not understand the relationship between this?

They sent back their confidantes one after another to inquire about this matter, and there was a lot of discussion at the scene.

The beautiful woman was not in a hurry, knowing that they were going to check the authenticity, and the auction in the morning continued.

It's just that this batch of reserve warrior slaves didn't go on auction again, but started with other ordinary slaves first. However, after the incident in the morning, people's thoughts were put elsewhere. For a while, the atmosphere in the auction hall Not very enthusiastic.

During the noon break, most of the aristocratic cronies had received the letter of approval and rushed back from outside. As soon as the auction in the afternoon started again, the scene suddenly became extremely lively.

I will offer thirteen gold coins to each person! I want all of these two hundred people!

I offer fourteen!

The prices in the venue were constantly tumbling, and in just a moment, the price of every young and powerful slave has more than doubled than usual. (!)
