Chapter 284: Orc Slave
readx;
For the human beings of the Bright Continent, slaves are really a good thing, they are paid once for life, there is no salary and no benefits, they only need to maintain the minimum food and clothing, they are injured and sick and die, and they can be thrown away at will, which can be said to be the best labor force.

Because there are so many benefits to using slaves, business in the slave market is quite brisk, and it is also one of the liveliest bazaars in Dart City.
Although there are many benefits of slaves, the common people will not buy slaves, one is reluctant to buy slaves, but one more person will have more mouths, they would rather do more work themselves, and will not raise slaves.
It's like Black Rock Village, because it's too poor, it's very difficult to support yourself, let alone raise slaves.
Those who could afford slaves and needed slaves were at least middle-aged families.
The largest consumer groups of slaves are actually those rich and noble, who have their own land or industry and need slaves to work for them, and they are the largest buyers of slaves.
The slave mayors are basically young and middle-aged slaves, and there are basically no elderly slaves, even the female slaves are relatively few, and there are more healthy male slaves, and the male slaves have more strength than the female slaves, and can do harder work, so they sell better.
Lin Feng didn't have much interest in these ordinary slaves, in his territory, there were many villagers who were willing to work for him, there was no need to buy and sell slaves, what he needed more was some special talents, especially slaves who could read and write, and could assist him in his future business, it would be the best.
The villagers of Heiyan Village are basically illiterate and have no ability to do business, so let them work well and let them do business. That would be too difficult for them.
"Honorable lords, come and take a look, rare beast slaves, miss this time, be careful and regret it for a lifetime."
"Huh. How could there be orc slaves in Dart City? Let's go, let's see. Lin Feng's heart moved, since he came to the Bright Continent, he hadn't seen the lives of the rest of the races, and today happened to be a long experience.
There are not a few people who think the same way as Lin Feng, for a moment. The booth was so crowded that it was impossible to get in.
But Lin Feng was wearing the magic robe of a magician, and when he saw Lin Feng here, everyone didn't dare to stop him, and they avoided it one after another, and Lin Feng walked to the front of the booth unimpeded.
The status of the Magus is too amazing. Even the steward at the booth looked at Lin Feng in surprise, and saluted Lin Feng first, before he dared to start selling slaves.
There were only eleven orc slaves for sale on the booth, and their appearance was very strange, and they were indeed different from humans.
The eleven orc slaves, male and female, were basically the same appearance as humans, but they had a pair of very large ears. And the nose is a little protruding.
Lin Feng checked his memory and quickly recognized their identities, the beast clan pig-faced people.
The Orcs Pig-Faced People belong to the lower beings of the Orc Race, and their main job is herding, and they are good at herding.
The appearance of orcs is basically the same as that of humans, except that on their bodies, they will retain their own racial characteristics, and the racial characteristics of pig-faced people are their noses and big ears.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen it too. This is a rare beast pig-faced people, we have captured them from the beast prairie thousands of miles away, the pig-faced people are good at grazing, they eat less, work more. Hard work, is the best slave, come and come, start selling and selling, as long as a hundred gold coins, the opportunity is rare, and you will regret it if you miss it. ”
"A hundred gold coins for a slave? It's so expensive. ”
"That's right, it's too expensive, a healthy middle-aged slave is only two or three gold coins at most, even a beautiful female slave will not exceed ten gold coins, a hundred gold coins is enough to buy ten beautiful female slaves, and a fool will buy these useless orcs."
The purchasing power of gold coins is still quite strong, one hundred gold coins is equivalent to one million, and it is indeed unacceptable to buy an ugly orc slave with one million.
If you want to work, the beast pig-faced people are indeed stronger than normal humans, but they are also limited, and a pig-faced person can do the work of two or three humans at most, and the price is two or three times higher than the acceptable range, and the price is more than thirty times, so that the buyers can't bear it.
Hearing everyone say this, the slave steward who was selling was also anxious, and couldn't help but raise his voice too high again: "Distinguished lords, these are healthy orc people, only on the orc prairie there are traces of them, usually rare, we risked our lives to go to the orc prairie to capture it, such a rare orc slave is only sold for a hundred gold coins expensive?" It's not expensive at all, it's just too cheap, it's a rare opportunity, and you'll regret it if you miss it. ”
To tell the truth, even the steward himself understands in his heart that the price of a hundred gold coins is a bit high, but there is no way, where is the cost, they have traveled thousands of miles to transport these slaves out, and if they don't sell them for a good price, they will be too sorry for themselves.
You must know that a large part of the gold coins sold by these orc slaves will fall into their own pockets, and they naturally want to sell as high as possible.
The slave steward shouted again, but still no one cared, and everyone only came to see the excitement, but few people were willing to spend money to buy these slaves.
The slave steward regretted it a little, he knew that he felt that the price should be lower, although the price was lower, although he made less money, but as long as he could sell it, he would make a profit, which was better than not selling like this.
It's just that now when you want to reduce the price, but it is impossible, there is no automatic price reduction for the purchase and sale of slaves, and if someone makes a bid, they may be able to negotiate the price, since there is no bid, they will not automatically reduce the price, which is also one of the unspoken rules of the slave trade.
It seems that Dart City can't sell these orc slaves, so wait until the next city and sell them at a low price.
Their group of slave traders were not fixed in Dart City, but they were passing through this place to make some extra money here, so they took out the most worthless pig-faced slaves among them and sold them.
Just when the slave steward was very disappointed, Lin Feng said lightly: "I want these orc slaves." ”
The slave steward looked at the source of the voice and exclaimed with joy, "Worthy of the Wizard." Your vision is truly remarkable, and these orc slaves are definitely worth the price. ”
Lin Feng nodded, and said unhurriedly: "I need some slaves to help me work, these orcs have a good physique, but the number is too small." I think you still have orc slaves, should we find a place to talk about the price? ”
The slave steward's heart moved, this is a big patron, it is a big business if it is not good, and it must be entertained.
Thinking of this, the slave steward immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay." You are our most valued guest, and any of your requirements can be met by us. ”
"Well, please come with me."
At the back of the slave stand was a house, where they rented a foothold.
The house looks inconspicuous from the outside. In fact, it was large enough to house surplus slaves.
After sitting down in the room, Lin Feng said lightly: "Tell me what slaves you have, as long as I fancy it, I can eat them all, the price is not a problem." ”
"We also have thirty-five Orc Pig-Noodle People, all of whom are the healthiest Pig-Noodle Men. With one to ten, he is definitely a good worker. ”
A faint sneer hung on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth: "Only pig-faced people? Are you fooling me? You've traveled all the way to the territory of the Orcs just to catch a few pig-faced people? ”
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay, or are you taking me for a fool?" Lin Feng's face was as plain as water, and there was no joy or anger in his face alone.
The slave steward smiled bitterly: "My lord, you are so careful, how dare we hide from you, it is really our bad luck, we only caught these pig-faced people in the territory of the beast clan, if we have any good goods next time, we will definitely inform you as soon as possible." ”
"Really?" Lin Feng glanced at the other party deeply. Only then did he retract his gaze and said lightly: "Okay, I want your pig-faced people, it just so happens that there are fewer working slaves in my manor, and it is just right to buy them, but the price is too expensive." Don't try to coax me, the pig-faced people are just the lowest existence in the beast clan, except for a handful of strength, they are useless, if I hadn't taken a fancy to their strength, do you think I would have spent money to buy them? ”
The slave steward smiled and said: "Yes, yes, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, if you sell it to others, these pig-faced people will definitely cost a hundred gold coins, but with your identity, we can give a twenty-percent discount, which is already the best price, each pig-faced person only needs eighty gold coins." ”
Lin Feng didn't care about the gold coins, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of in vain, so he immediately opened his mouth to bargain: "The eighty percent discount is too high, at least six percent off, I know that these pig-noodle people are not worth much, even if you ship them to other cities, you can't sell them at a higher price, and you will waste food along the way." ”
The slave steward immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, how can it be six points off, seven points five, seven points five percent off is already the lowest price, seventy-five gold coins per pig-faced person." ”
"It's an integer, seven folds, if you want I'll buy it all, if you don't, I'll leave." Lin Feng said, as if he was about to stand up and leave.
"Seven folds? The seven-fold discount is too low, but for your sake, we will suffer a loss, so we will give you this price. The slave steward said with a wry smile, but whether it was really a bitter smile or not, only he knew.
After Lin Feng paid the money, a total of forty-six beast clan pig-faced people belonged to Lin Feng.
The Slave Chamber also provided a door-to-door delivery service, which was free of charge as long as it was within the city.
Inside the carriage, Lin Feng glanced at the Slave Chamber of Commerce again through the window, since you don't want me to spend money to buy it, then don't blame me for taking it myself.
The Pig-Faced People are just the lowest civilians of the Orcs, and they are not worth anything at all in the human realm, and in most cases, the Slave Chamber of Commerce sells the Pig-Faced People only by the way, and their real goods can never be the Pig-Faced People.
Lin Feng originally planned to spend money to buy it, since they refused to sell, then don't blame Lin Feng for thinking about it, anyway, the other party is a slave trader, and Lin Feng doesn't have any psychological burden to do it to them.
It's just that Lin Feng was also a little curious, what kind of beast clan they caught, and they didn't even dare to sell it. (To be continued.)
