The east of the city, the slave market.

A place full of dirty and evil, where the most conscience-free and bottom-line transactions in the world are carried out here.

Population trade.

Trade behavior that regards population as a "commodity" cannot be completely banned even if the economy is prosperous, the technology is advanced, and the average moral level is high.

Because there is profit.

More than 300% huge profits.

The slave merchant Ward, a middle-aged businessman with a medium-sized rosacea, half-bald, and fancy clothes, greets everyone with a smile, nods and bows, and is very enthusiastic about the hospitality... Beside him, two strong orc bodyguards, I don't know how he recruited them.

Only Zhou Ming knew from the greedy red light flashing in his eyes and the grim smile that appeared from time to time on his lips, he knew that this slave merchant, who was known as "the largest slave merchant in the capital" and "had the best source of goods in his hands", was a heinous bastard.

It was not enough to sentence him ten times to death based on the hundreds of slaves of all races whom he was locked in those iron cages.

Purchasing the slaves in his hands is equivalent to his accomplice! It is encouraging him to continue making such dirty and evil transactions.

but……

Zhou Ming just wanted to buy two orc maids to make it easier for him, and he didn't want to exaggerate himself.

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

Zhou Ming also saw all kinds of slaves.

Among these slaves, humans and orcs are... In order to make money, slave merchants do not care what race you are.

However, most of them are human slaves, with about 80 people.

There are fewer orc slaves, less than 20 people... The Kingdom of Adud is located in the hinterland of humans, and is 100,000 miles away from the northern border, and orc slaves are rare.

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

"They are all prisoners of war."

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

Ward explained, and also talked about the war between the Kingdom of Habas and the Kingdom of Cardon.

These two kingdoms are feudal, and wars often break out on the border. These wars are either a battle of land, or a grudge between some nobles, or just a battlefield to harvest glory... The war between the two countries has been fighting for hundreds of years and has no intention of stopping.

Most of the prisoners of war in these cages were captured by the Kingdom of Habas in a war... I heard that the Kingdom of Habas won a great victory, annihilated nearly 100,000 Kadorn's army, and captured countless prisoners.

"He is healthy, so why does he lose one arm? Are you even disabled people?"

Passing by a cage, Zhou Ming pointed to a middle-aged man inside and said, "This man's face was covered with stubbornness, his face was vicissitudes, his body was covered with scars and blood, and his right arm was even broken. If it weren't for the slight undulation of his chest intermittently, Zhou Ming would have thought he was dead."

"He is named Gjeff. He is a very famous figure in the Kingdom of Cardon. He is the commander of the Kingdom of Cardon. He is even more a pitiful unlucky guy... I think he is a little interesting, so I bought him."

"Oh, I want to hear his story."

Zhou Ming was a little interested and asked curiously.

Ward told the story.

Gerjeff was born into a civilian, but with his hard work, he became a great swordsman-level figure. After joining the army, he made many contributions because of his bravery in combat, just to improve his progress again and again.

Moreover, he cherishes the lives of soldiers, protects the people of his country, is loyal to the kingdom and king, and is upright and brave... Among the middle and lower classes of the kingdom, Gazeff became more and more famous and was respected and admired by many people.

The king even named him "Kingdom Warrior Chief", breaking the convention of civilians leading troops to become generals, and promoted him to generals, governing a legion of tens of thousands of people.

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

At this point, the life of this warrior is perfect and can be regarded as a model for the lower class to realize their dreams.

but……

How could the nobles of the Kingdom of Cardon allow a civilian to climb onto their heads?

How could the king be allowed to use the power of Gazef to gradually erode the interests of the nobles?

The tragedy is coming soon.

An elite legion of ten thousand people.

Cannon fodder for farmers of ninety thousand people.

Facing the attack of 200,000 elite cavalry in the Kingdom of Habas.

and the nobles who informed the country.

This warrior who has reached the peak of his life and was once glorious will not fail, who will fail?

After Gazeff was defeated and captured, his beautiful wife was occupied by a nobleman, and his two daughters were still young, but he might become a toy for that nobleman in the future.

As for Gazeff himself, no one would pay to redeem him. The king convicted him of a serious crime. After the bloody battle on the battlefield, he had his right arm broken and was only one-tenth of his strength at the peak.

In a word, he has no value in use.

Seeing him lying in a cage without knowing his life or death, it is most appropriate to describe it as "a useless person".

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

He sighed, "Pity, pity."

He thought about it and asked Ward again: "How much does he sell?"

"100 gold coins," Ward said: "When I bought him, I had 100 gold coins. I don't make money from Mr. I want it, and I'll sell it to you at the original price."

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

Zhou Ming nodded: "Okay, 100 gold coins will be sold, and he will be sent to my house later."

Perhaps out of sympathy, Zhou Ming bought the poor Gerva. Although he was disabled with a broken arm, and even though others were middle-aged, they had little use of their value... Zhou Ming still bought him.

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

In the clean and neat tent, there were four pairs of orc maids on four large beds.

Two of them are cat maids and two are rabbit maids.

Each has its own characteristics.

"The cat maid is petite, very flexible in movement, and works quickly. One cat maid is comparable to two human maids."

"The disadvantage is that it may be unobedient and will compete for favor, which will make the hostess disgusted, and some will even run away."

"But I have to admit that the cat maid's bed skills are very good, and many men will go crazy about them."

Ward introduced with a gleam in his eyes.

At this time, there were two cat maids, looking at Zhou Ming with agate-colored eyes, arched their backs, swung their tail behind their butts, and licked their lips with a pointed tongue, looking extremely charming.

How can teenagers see such unsuitable scenes for children? Zhou Ming asked the tall orc bodyguard beside Ward to take Henry outside the tent.

Henry walked out reluctantly, turned his head at the door of the tent and said, "Teacher, I think the cat maid is very good, why not buy two of them back."

Zhou Ming ignored him.

He asked about the rabbit maid again.

"The rabbit maid is slightly larger, comparable to a human body, has a more flexible movement and a neat work. They are famous for being clean."

"The advantage is that they are gentle and obedient to their owners. They are not as varied as cat maids, but they are quite flavorful."

"The disadvantage of rabbit maids is that they are stupid, not as flexible and smart as cat maids, they are very brave and easily frightened."

"This makes it easier for them to become dependent on their masters and basically won't run away."

Ward said.

Zhou Ming nodded.

After comparing this advantage and disadvantage, he has a clear idea of ​​how to choose.

Rabbit maid.

He plans to buy a pair of rabbit maids.

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

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

Besides, no matter whether it is the cat maid or the rabbit maid, the nose and ears are furry, and the tail is full of a tail, it looks really cute and cute, but if you play with such creatures, Zhou Ming feels that the taste is too heavy. He is not a gentleman, and he really can't do it.

Then Zhou Ming asked Ward several questions:

"How much is the price of a rabbit maid, how much does a pair cost?"

Someone here wonders that Zhou Ming bought a rabbit maid basically enough, why did he buy two to make a pair? This is a matter of particularity, Ward explained to him that similar to raising cats and dogs, orc maids also need companions. If you buy one, no matter whether it is a cat maid, a rabbit maid, it is easy to run away. If you buy a pair, the probability of running away will be greatly reduced.

"The price of Feifei and Meimei is 50,000 gold coins."

"The price of Sissi and Lulu is 40,000 gold coins."

Ward pointed to two pairs of rabbit maids and said that Feifei and Meimei were older and had longer training time, so they were sold more expensively. Xixi and Lulu were younger and had shorter training time, so they were sold cheaper.

Two maids, 50,000 gold coins, were so expensive that Zhou Ming was shocked.

50,000 gold coins are enough for an ordinary family to spend 1,000 years.

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