Chapter 316: The epitome of divine warfare
Wren glanced at the slave trader, and the eye of the soul showed that the other party was a high-level wizard.
A high-level wizard can run such a large slave market, obviously either the backer behind him is very strong, or he comes from a powerful family.
However, judging from the emotions of the soul, this person's state of mind is quite peaceful, and he believes in the god of trade and wealth.
In Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, the god of trade and wealth, Wokin, has the second most followers, second only to the goddess of magic, and more than the other two of the three gods of the empire, the god of justice and the goddess of Mother Earth.
Located in the Shrine of Fortune in the coastal area, it is the headquarters of the Church of Waujin in the mortal world.
"Let me introduce you to both. ”
Swift pointed to the middle-aged man who greeted him, "This is Combass Greif, the owner of this place." Your Excellency, Combas's grandfather was a student of the Lord of Hashstaff. ”
He clearly points out the origin of Combus, and then introduces Wren.
"Wait......" Combass had been staring at Wren, his gaze swept over the six powerful Ultramarines, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Your Excellency is the Earl of Glamorgan?"
"Fortunately. Wren nodded in acknowledgement and took the initiative to shake his hand.
As soon as his hand was halfway outstretched, he was eagerly grabbed by Kang Bas, and said excitedly: "Welcome, Earl, no wonder when I prayed to my lord this morning, I seemed to have received some revelation, it turned out that the Earl was here, it is really precious!"
Combas flattered and shook his hand incessantly, as if he had met a benefactor.
Wren was unmoved, and gently withdrew his hand.
Kangbas's soul mood fluctuated a little, but it was not so exaggerated on the surface, it was obviously the way the merchant was acting on the spot, and said very respectfully: "Lord Earl, please come in, I must entertain your lord well and make you satisfied." ”
"There's no need for hospitality, you take me to see the slaves. Wren said lightly.
"Okay, okay. Kang Bas was slightly stunned, his reaction was very fast, and he asked, "I don't know what kind of slave the adults want to buy, are there any specific requirements?"
Without waiting for Wren to answer, he quickly introduced: "I have more than twenty transcendents in my hands now, but most of them are Iron Guards, Gunners and Rangers, all of whom are below the third level. The strongest is a berserker, reaching level seven, and if an adult is interested, he can take it away with only two thousand gold shields. ”
"If adults don't like the transcendent, alien races other than humans, I have a lot of them. ”
"There are several elves, dwarves, trolls, and orcs. The most sought-after is a female high elf, very young, with not weak spell-casting ability, probably a fourth-level mage, as a personal maid, it can be called the best ......"
Combas gushed and foamed, like a telemarketer in a previous life, without giving people a chance to interrupt.
Wren had a headache when he heard it, what kind of elf slave girl, he was not interested at all.
He slightly triggered the body of the true dragon, his pupils erected, and a faint dragon power emanated, making Combas and the entire team of extraordinary guards behind him feel their hairs stand on end, as if there was a terrible danger approaching, and two of the guards couldn't hold the weapons in their hands, and fell to the ground with two thuds.
Surprisingly, Combas himself was not affected much, he should have some kind of amulet to protect the mind, but he finally kept his mouth shut.
Wren reined in Long Wei and said softly, "I only need ordinary slaves, about three hundred to four hundred. ”
"Ah......" Combus looked stunned, and then there was surprise in his eyes, hundreds of slaves were a big business even if they were just ordinary people.
"Yes?" Wren asked, frowning.
"Yes, yes, there ......" Combas nodded again and again, he probably figured out Wren's temper, didn't talk nonsense, and replied crisply: "I just took over a group of people here not long ago, and they were transported by sea from the Vena people, there are more than a thousand in total, all of them are Kemers. ”
"The people of the Duchy of Kmer?" Wren searched for information on his phone.
The Venus and Kemer are branches of the Misau Peninsula, and they are not much different from the Orion of the Empire, except that they are slightly smaller in stature, have darker skin, and are difficult to distinguish from each other.
The Missau Peninsula borders the southwestern border of the empire, is dense with jungles and rich resources, and the area is only one-third of the empire, but it is divided into more than a dozen large and large kingdoms and principalities, and there are constant wars all year round.
The main contradiction in these countries has its roots in faith.
The inhabitants and nations of the peninsula's coast are all followers of the Lord of the Storm, while the landlocked countries of the peninsula are mostly worshipping Mother Earth.
These two gods are known to be mortal enemies!
Mother Earth is a very peaceful deity, one of the oldest gods, with a high status and good relations with the gods, with only one enemy, the Lord of the Storm.
The Lord of the Storm is temperamental, unable to use common sense, has few allies in the gods' camp, and has many enemies. He has the priesthood of "sky" and "sea", and has coveted the "earth" priesthood for a long time, so his followers have stirred up disputes with the earth church all over the world to weaken the faith of their opponents.
Strike believers, weaken the power of faith, and finally go head-to-head.
This is the step of the war between the gods.
The Missau Peninsula is just a microcosm of the divine warfare that takes place in the mortal world, and the resulting slaves are not even cannon fodder.
The kingdom of Vena is close to the sea, and the people of the whole country are all believers in the Lord of the Storm, while the Principality of Kemer widely believes in the goddess Mother Earth, because the country is weak, it is in passive defense all the year round, and it is invaded by the Vena people.
For hundreds of years, the two sides have long been a deep feud in the sea of blood.
The Lord of the Storm is himself a ruthless deity, and his followers are also affected, acting brutally and cold-blooded, burning and looting at every turn.
It was not uncommon for the Vena to plunder the Kemer and sell them as slaves.
Both nobles and commoners in the Duchy of Keme are deeply influenced by the culture of the empire, most people can speak a few words of imperial Chinese, the children of the nobles have to study in the empire, and the ruler's greatest willingness can say that the empire can make a move to defeat the kingdom of Vena.
Wren thought for a moment and said, "Bring a few people up and I'll take a look." ”
"Please wait. ”
Combas whispered a few words to one of the guards, and the guards took the order.
While waiting, Wren inquired in detail about the situation of the Kemers.
Before they were sent to the Empire, the Vena had already sifted through them, and more than a thousand slaves were young men of good health, between eighteen and thirty years of age, who must have come from some small town that had just been slaughtered, of whom men made up seventy percent, more than eight hundred, and fewer women, less than three hundred.
A few minutes later, twenty young men and women walked into the hall.
Everyone had shackles on their wrists, and they were strung together with a chain chain, and at the urging of the guards, they walked up to Wren and stood still, like cargo for everyone to see.
According to Combus, these men were reduced to slavery for no more than a month, and the Vena did not abuse them in order to sell them for a good price, and they themselves did not have time to tame, so they were in good health.
However, their faces were numb and gray, lacking energy.
Wren understandably this.
No one who has been burned down by a hostile country, killed his family, or sold as a slave is unlikely to maintain an optimistic spirit. If these people were not believers in Mother Earth God and possessed outstanding patience, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago, like the walking dead.
"Lift your head up. One of the guards shouted.
The slaves reluctantly looked up and saw Wren standing in front of them, a trace of curiosity flashed in their empty eyes, and hope was inexplicably ignited in their hearts.
Wren smiled kindly at them.
At the same time, he was also observing with the soul eye, most of the soul strength of these Kemer people was very average, everyone had a blood soul curse, and only a few men were above the average. However, it is only a little higher, and if you perform the soul transformation ritual after training, it is almost impossible to succeed.
With normal methods, they have a very low chance of becoming transcendent.
However, Wren didn't care, the method he figured out by himself was extraordinary, and the requirements for soul strength were not high, if it went well, the chance of becoming an extraordinary person was more than ninety percent!
Of course, this requires a lot of gold shields and resources.
And also to ensure their loyalty.
"Change the batch. ”
Wren showed no intention of buying, and Combas, thinking that he was not satisfied, hurriedly brought in twenty more Kemers.
"Change the batch. "Another batch of ......"
After seeing more than a dozen batches of slaves in a row, with a total of more than three hundred, Wren still asked for continued substitutions.
Combus couldn't help but ask, "Lord Earl, don't you look down on these ordinary people?
"No need. Wren has already figured out the potential of these Kemer people, and it is useless to look at it any longer, so it is better to select carefully after going back, so he said directly: "I have bought all the Kemer people, you make a price." ”
Combus was overjoyed, patted his ass and said, "Lord Earl is so refreshing!"
"The Kemer people are hard-working, they are very sought-after workers and farmers, the price of a male slave is twenty gold guilders, and the price of a female slave is cheaper, only fifteen gold guilders......" He quickly calculated, and in a blink of an eye there was a result, "My lord, all the slaves add up to twenty-four thousand gold guilders, I will erase the fraction for you, as long as the whole number." ”
Wren saw from the eyes of his soul that Combas was not falsely represented.
This price should be normal, and the other party must have made a profit, but the price is not outrageous. Swift next to him also nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.
Wren didn't bargain and took out the golden ticket and paid for it.
Then he said: "You arrange a ship for me to send everyone to the port of Highbridge in Glamorgan, and I will settle the freight and escort costs for you, but you must ensure that no one is missing, and I will deduct as much as I want." ”
"Okay, no problem. Kang Bas hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, my lord, I am a professional in transporting people, and I am wrapped up in it." ”
Wren nodded, and turned to leave.
Kang Bas's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Lord Earl, it's rare for you to come to Shengang City once, there will be a grand trade fair in the black market in a few days, it is said that there are many good things this time, and there are even super elements and epic equipment, I wonder if you are interested?"
