To buy goods, one is to look at the store, the other is to look at the service, and the last thing is to look at the goods. Hathaway didn't come to buy antiques or check for leaks, but to choose the kind of shop that looks magnificent, has a lot of traffic, and has a high quality of service staff.

After passing through a few stores, a smiling clerk stood at the door and greeted them warmly, Hathaway looked up at the size of the storefront, and said, "Let's go in here and have a look." ”

Naturally, the others had no objection and followed her into the store.

The clerk was dutiful, and invited the group to sit down in a separate small reception room next to the hall, and then served hot tea, and then withdrew.

After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked in and looked at Hathaway with a smile: "Your Excellency the Venerable Mage, may I ask what I can do for you?" ”

"We want to buy a batch of slaves, and we need to have a certain amount of combat effectiveness." Hathaway's request was brief.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled: "Hehe, it's probably the first time you've come to the slave market, right?" ”

"Yes." Hathaway nodded, smiled and asked, "Is there anything I need to know?" Please also ask the gentleman for advice. ”

"Don't dare to be."

The shopkeeper was very humble: "Let me introduce you a little." The first is the issue of gender, where there is a large difference in price between male and female slaves; Second, whether there are racial restrictions or special requirements, and the same is true for language; Third, whether you need to spot the goods immediately or book to wait for a period of time to pick up the goods; Fourth, whether there are any requirements for age experience; Fifth, there are no special requirements for the skills of the required slaves. ”

He paused slightly. He continued: "These are the most basic conditions, and if you have anything else you want to know, I can provide a full range of consultations, and can provide all kinds of special needs slaves according to your requirements. ”

"All kinds of special needs?"

Hathaway didn't expect the shopkeeper to say so much at once, which was unheard of, "I don't know what scope you mean by special needs?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "For example, some noble ladies like young and handsome men, some people want to find tall and burly knights, some people like to collect special races, and even some pharmacists like to buy some strong slaves to test medicines, etc. We can all provide the most satisfactory service. ”

Sure enough, it's the most evil business!

Think of some unbearable scenes. Hathaway was a chill, she straightened up, and then said, "I'm going to a place, there is a certain danger. So I need some minions who can fight bravely for me. That's right. I haven't asked for my husband's first name? ”

"Ford. Rockefeller. ”

The shopkeeper nodded slightly. Then he said, "If you are interested, why don't you let me accompany you on a tour of our slave depots?" ”

Ford. Rockefeller's attitude towards Hathaway was better than that of Shalai. Custer and the others were much more respectful...... Although they are all dressed well. But it's just a little more gorgeous, but on the chest of Hathaway's magic robe, there is a magician badge, which means that she is a formal magician, which is a nobler status than ordinary nobles, and the future is even more unpredictable, so Ford. Rockefeller always maintained a humble attitude.

After a moment of thought, Hathaway nodded, "That's the best, I hope I can find the servant I need from you." ”

Ordinary slaves, who are found in the back of the shop, are nothing more than slaves who serve daily life or the heavy work in the house. However, for some customers who are interested in buying special slaves, after they make a request, the store will send a special person to guide the guests to a place dedicated to keeping slaves.

After Hathaway and others agreed, Ford. Rockefeller prepared a large carriage...... The kind that could seat a dozen or so people, Hathaway had every reason to suspect that the carriage's main purpose was to transport slaves, but the carriage was so clean that she didn't ask such a question of sabotage in the end.

"Our Rockefeller family has been engaged in the slave business for more than 300 years, and we abide by the three rules of dealing: integrity, fairness, and hospitality. Ford. Rockefeller said with some pride.

The carriage drove lightly down the street, and none of the men in the carriage spoke or admired the view on either side of the street. As the carriage drove out of Heidelberg, the atmosphere around it changed dramatically, not only was it much quieter, but even the air seemed to be more relaxed.

The cool air with a faint scent of plants is refreshing, it is a road built in the woods, beside the green woods, in which there is the chirping of birds and the sound of fluttering, and occasionally a hare or pheasant rushes out of the bushes, rushes across the road, stops at the edge of the forest opposite, looks sideways at the galloping carriage, and burrows into the woods.

For some larger than slave shops, slave warehouses were generally located outside the city...... On the one hand, it is natural that every inch of land in the city is expensive, and it is not worth spending a lot on slaves; On the other hand, it is also for the sake of safety...... Not all slaves will be content with the status quo, they will resist and run away when they have the opportunity, and they will need to be guarded by a certain number of armed men.

Along the way, the carriage seemed very quiet and peaceful, and Hathaway and the others did not speak...... To use a few fashionable words, it's to play deep. Fortunately, the warehouse was not far from Heidelberg, and after about seven miles of driving, the carriage turned into a path, and not far in front of it was a private manor, which looked quite beautiful.

Such private estates were very popular, and were often built a little further from the city in some places with very good natural conditions, and the nobles often came here for various gatherings and hunting during their vacations.

When the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rattled on the stone path, the gatekeeper of the manor had opened the gate, and the carriage drove into the gate of the manor without pause, until it came to a continuous courtyard, and then stopped.

"Please come in."

Ford. Rockefeller invited everyone to a very simple room, and then invited them to their seats, and one of the servants did not wait to greet them, and had already come forward to serve tea to them.

"Mr. Rockefeller, tea is free, let's get into the subject as quickly as possible." Hathaway said.

"Of course."

Ford. Rockefeller smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency Mage, I am honored to provide you with some suggestions, considering your requirements, I think the more suitable combination is a half-orc soldier, a human junior officer and a half-elf archer." Of course, if you're looking to buy other, more powerful fighters, that's fine. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Hathaway asked.

"Half-orcs are strong and burly, with orc-like fighting instincts, but they are easier to tame than orcs, as long as they are well fed. The disadvantage is that they have a poor sense of discipline, so they need to be restrained by human officers at the grassroots level, and if there is a contract, they will be obedient. The half-elf archer is not as expensive as the elves, but the archery skills are superb, and they are rare marksmen...... By the way, how many minions do you need? "Ford. Rockefeller looked at Hathaway.

Hathaway was about to speak, when there was a sudden commotion outside, mixed with the sound of several weapons crashing.

Everyone in the room was stunned, and Stilwell. Ponson's figure suddenly appeared beside Hathaway, his eyes warily looking at the equally stunned Ford. Rockefeller.

Just as the Lord of Shadows looked at Ford. When Rockefeller was in the air, the latter felt as if he was being stared at by an extremely dangerous king cobra, and he didn't even dare to move a little, for fear of arousing the other party's killing intent: "Please don't get me wrong, this is not the entertainment I arranged." ”

Ford. Rockefeller still had a cold joke in mind, "It should be that some slaves accidentally escaped, this is a common occurrence, maybe we can go out and take a look." ”

All the people present were young people, they were all very lively, and they were confident that they would not be hurt, so they followed him outside the house.

A slender woman stumbled towards the door, followed by several men in agile samurai attire...... The fleeing woman was obviously wounded, and it could be seen from the route of the run that speckled with blood that stretched along the flat stone floor, and the coordination of her movements was also very limited.

"She's an elf!" Cecia. Hughes exclaimed suddenly.

Hathaway also saw that the woman was so beautiful that people were jealous, but the most conspicuous thing was the pair of pointed ears that were slightly longer than ordinary people...... Elves, whose bloodline is lower than that of goblins, but have a similar appearance, were a subordinate race of goblins during the ancient mythological period.

Cecia. Hughes's voice had clearly caught the elf's attention, and she glanced this way, and with a good spirit, she quickly ran towards them.

"Stop her!"

Ford. Rockefeller immediately sensed her intentions and hurriedly urged loudly. The warriors who were chasing after her also knew that the situation was critical, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the elf at a faster speed. Obviously, that elf can't use the fighting spirit to fight at this time, but her martial arts are really not weak, the long sword in her hand flashed and stabbed, and in an instant, the attacks of the warriors were broken or flashed, and then quickly rushed to Hathaway at an unbelievable speed.

Just as the elf rushed over, the veteran's voice suddenly sounded in her head: "Hathaway, immediately activate the breath in your bloodline, this pure-blood elf will be loyal to you after feeling the bloodline breath." (To be continued......)
