Chapter 159 Slave Market
Lolberto Market is the most prosperous and diverse trading place in the country.
What such large-scale trading venues lack the least is people.
Yan Si tried his best to ignore the people coming and going around him and reduce his presence. Although Yan Si could vaguely sense an aura similar to that of the blood-colored pearl, the various auras around him were very mixed, making it a little difficult for Yan Si to determine the specific direction.
I can only rely on my intuition and walk in a general direction.
But I have to say that there are indeed many kinds of things sold and traded here, and many of them are strange and weird, which makes Yan Si's eyes light up. They are rare things he has never seen before.
"A market built eight hundred years ago, surprisingly fun to visit?"
The closer you go in that general direction, the closer that energy aura becomes to being abundant.
"Well, it seems that I'm lucky this time. I didn't choose the wrong direction."
As we walked, although we were getting further away from the market, there were still many people there. Most of these people were commodities waiting to be sold.
Looking at the men, women, young and old who were locked in cages around him, as well as the vendors waving whips next to the cages and calling on others to come and have a look, Yan Si could not help but frown slightly.
This is the slave market.
Different from the bustling market on the other side, this place is still bustling, but it reveals the atmosphere of despair, sadness and helplessness everywhere.
These auras swept over Yan Si like a huge wave, causing her to shake her head and almost be affected by it.
After adjusting his mindset, Yan Si walked towards one of the stalls selling slaves.
I don’t know what the stall is called. There are a lot of people surrounding it. Yan Si is on the edge of the crowd, standing on tiptoe to try to see what’s going on at the stall.
But there were too many people surrounding him, and Yan Si could only see heads one after another.
Yan Si sensed an energy fluctuation similar to that of the blood-colored pearl right in front of the stall surrounded by layers of people.
Yan Si couldn't see the situation ahead clearly, so he used his agile movements to quickly squeeze to the front of the stall.
On the high platform in front, there were three large iron cages full of slaves. On the platform, a man with a mustache and a brown hat was waving a whip in his hand, hitting the iron cages beside him.
This action frightened the slaves in the cages so much that they trembled.
Most of the cages contained beautiful girls, who were only wearing cloth that barely covered their bodies. Their hands and feet were tied with rough hemp ropes, leaving deep bloody marks on their skin. Each of them had more or less deep and shallow whip marks on their bodies.
There was deep fear in their eyes. Some were already numb, helplessly waiting for their next fate of being bought, or being left behind and never being sold, and eventually being beaten to death.
Herbert heard the sobbing of a girl in a middle cage, so he whipped the cage again and warned fiercely: "If you cry again, I will go back and throw you to the wolves."
His threat and warning were very effective. The girl who was still sobbing in the cage immediately covered her mouth, trembling her body and biting her lower lip, not daring to make any sound.
Seeing that the girl in the cage had finally calmed down, Herbert nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at the audience, picked up the loud speaker beside him, cleared his throat, and began to shout: "Dear guests, welcome to my Herbert's slave farm. Everyone, look behind me."
Herbert pointed to the iron cage full of girls and said, "See these beautiful slaves? You only need three gold coins to buy one, and if you want to buy two, it only costs five gold coins."
"For three gold coins, you can buy a docile and obedient beautiful slave. You can do whatever you want to her and ask her to do whatever you want. Are you sure you don't want to buy one to play with?"
As soon as Herbert finished speaking, bursts of shouting rang out in Yan Si's ears.
"This batch of goods looks pretty good. I'll buy one to play with."
"Five gold coins for two slaves, that's a good deal. The remaining gold coin is just enough for a drink. I'll buy two."
"Hey Herbert, I don't have any gold coins now. Can I buy it on credit? I'll give it to you when I earn more."
"..."
All kinds of inferior and dirty sounds came into Yan Si's ears. Those sounds were very noisy and also very unbearable.
For the first time, Yan Si felt that having too good hearing was not a good thing.
In response, she could only cover her ears with her hands to prevent the noisy sounds from reaching her ears.
In the end, most of the girls in the cages were sold, leaving only a few left.
Seeing that it was almost sold out, Herbert grinned with his big yellow teeth.
With his pockets full of gold coins in his hands, Herbert raised the loudspeaker again and began to sell the slaves in the second cage.
The second cage contained a group of strong young men, whose hands and feet were still bound and whose physical conditions were similar to those of the girls in the original cages.
Herbert said, "The price of strong male slaves is still three gold coins each, five gold coins for two. You can buy them to guard your home, work on the farm, or send them to the duel arena to fight. Anyway, whatever you want them to do is up to you."
As soon as Herbert finished speaking, Yan Si heard shouting again. Although the sound this time was much less than the first time he sold the girl, there were still many buyers.
Just as everyone was selecting slaves and Herbert was collecting gold coins with a smile on his face, there were bursts of shouting and scolding coming from outside the crowd.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! You bunch of lowlifes, don't block the way of Lord Earl Jackman. If you don't want to die, get out of the way."
The unusual movement behind him naturally attracted Yan Si's attention. When the crowd heard that it was an earl coming, they all retreated to the side in panic. There was even a small stampede because they were too panicked.
Yan Si naturally followed the movement of the crowd and slowly moved to the side, but she still remained at the front.
The crowd quickly made way for a man, and a pot-bellied man with a pig head and big ears, wearing extremely high-profile, luxurious and gorgeous clothes, appeared in front of Yan Si.
This man is Earl Jackman.
Seeing Jackman coming, Herbert immediately came down from the platform and nodded and bowed to Jackman with a flattering look on his face.
Jackman was very pleased with Herbert's flattery. He looked at the young slaves in the iron cages on the platform and said, "You got a new batch of goods? It just so happens that all the slaves sent to the duel arena died some time ago. Let me see the quality of this batch of goods."
Herbert agreed with a smile, then returned to the platform, opened the iron cages, and whipped the slaves out.
Jackman also went up to the platform and was very picky about the slaves kneeling at his feet.
"No, Herbert, this batch of yours is worse than the last one."
"It looks like we won't be able to make it through even one round in the duel arena. At least one of the last batch made it to the third round."
"A bunch of rubbish. Aren't there any better combat slaves?"
Herbert smiled and rubbed his hands, saying, "My Lord Earl, you have come to the right place today. I have a slave here that will definitely meet your requirements."
As Jackman watched, Herbert winked at his assistant, who understood and soon brought a smaller iron cage on a cart.
The iron cage was covered with a layer of coarse cloth, which made people more curious about the slaves in the cage.
Similarly, Yan Si also perked up.
Because she sensed that the energy fluctuation was right inside the iron cage.
