(Congratulations to Fu Affectionate for becoming the new leader of this book, thank you)

The hatch opened.

The brown-skinned warrior appeared in front of Shen Lang again, his smile became even more weird, he should be the pirate leader of this ship.

He even made a gesture of invitation to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang, dressed in a delicate silk robe and carrying his backpack, walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

And then......

He saw an extremely ugly scene.

It turned out that the ship was carrying countless slaves.

Almost all of them were strong black men, and each one of them was very tall and strong.

Each of them was shackled and chained together.

Every slave has nothing on him.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The pirate warriors whipped the slaves and urged them to get ashore.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

There was a terrible scream from the front.

Because where the boat was disembarked was a brazier with a red-hot iron in it.

Every black slave who disembarks has to leave a mark on their face.

This mark can never be erased, and it represents their status as slaves for life.

There used to be slaves in the Eastern world, such as Shen Lang's adoptive father and adoptive mother, who were freed by Jiang Li, but their slave marks were on their backs, not on their faces.

Once the slave brand burns on the face, it means that the identity can never be changed.

Shen Lang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Because he knew that Qiu You'er went all the way to the east and finally to the western world (because the world is round), and she also liberated countless slaves along the way, so her kingdom should be free of slaves.

What's going on with this city in front of you? Is it a city of demon hatred?

And Shen Lang also discovered that this group of slaves is not simple. There are almost no women, all strong men, is this to create an army of slaves?

The black slaves, though very robust, were docile and had no intention of resisting.

When they saw the delicate Shen Lang, they only dared to look at it, then lowered their heads and walked forward silently, looking very self-deformed. This group of black slaves even looks down on themselves.

The brown-skinned warrior still followed Shen Lang, muttering a few words behind him, but he still couldn't understand it.

But judging by his expression, he was probably mocking these black slaves.

Soon it was Shen Lang's turn to disembark.

The warrior at the exit instinctively pressed the red-hot soldering iron towards Shen Lang's face, because he had already reacted mechanically.

As a result, the pirate leader behind Shen Lang was furious, rushed forward, pulled out his whip and whipped wildly, directly beating the soldering iron warrior to the point of crying wolf, and finally did not let go, and directly burned the red-hot soldering iron on his arm.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Shen Lang frowned for a while, the people in this place were really barbaric.

Finally after the fight, the brown-skinned pirate leader came to Shen Lang again and made a gesture of invitation, he was too polite to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang disembarked.

Next, he didn't have to walk, but got into a luxurious carriage and entered the city under the envious eyes of countless people.

..................

After entering the city.

Shen Lang couldn't help but cover his nose because it was too smelly.

The city is truly something that can only be seen from afar, not up close.

From a distance, there is a lot of gold, and there are countless gorgeous buildings. And inside the city, there are people in rags everywhere, and there are smelly ditches everywhere. Underneath the countless ornate buildings, there are many more squat houses.

There are two roads in the city. One kind of road is all paved with stone slabs, which is more than ten meters wide, and the people walking on it are all richly dressed people, which is very sparse.

There is also a kind of road that is dusty, narrow, dirty and smelly, and densely packed with poor people.

It is a city with a high hierarchy and a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

Shen Lang also noticed that on the square outside the city gate, a large number of slaves were being handed over.

More than a few thousand slaves are entering the city one after another, each with a brand on his forehead.

Every slave is a strong black man, this is definitely not a normal slave, it is to raise an army of slaves all the time.

What is this city going to do? Why do you need so many troops?

........................

The carriage followed a wide, well-groomed stone road all the way into the city.

Climb up the mountainside, up the hill!

It's a bay city, and the whole city is built on a hill.

The higher the place, the more beautiful the house and the sparsely populated it.

The poor live at the foot of the mountain, the rich live on the mountainside, and the nobles live on the mountain.

And at the top of the highest hill, there is a magnificent castle complex.

This castle group, Shen Lang just saw it on the sea, it is really beautiful.

Opalescent marble, lots of gold decorations.

The outer perimeter of the castle has tall and strong walls.

The Qiang King's Palace also has a lot of gold, but Arugang has no aesthetics at all, so the Qiang King's Palace looks vulgar.

But the castle in front of you, both architecturally and artistically, is definitely very clever.

It's even a masterpiece.

At least it was the first time Shen Lang had seen such a beautiful Western-style castle in this world.

The brown-skinned pirate leader who sent Shen Lang looked arrogant and majestic when he was on the ship before.

But when he came to this castle, he groveled and flattered him to the extreme.

Coming to the gate of the castle, he quickly stopped the carriage.

Dozens of samurai at the city gate aimed at him with bows and crossbows, and dozens of heavily armed samurai at the gate surrounded the entire carriage as fast as they could. Shen Lang noticed that they were using sharp spears as weapons.

The pirate leader spoke like an aria for a while, but Shen Lang still couldn't understand it.

But now it can be seen that he is singing the praises of the owner of this castle. That is, the master of this huge city.

To be able to own this entire city is definitely a powerful person.

Shen Lang roughly estimated that the population of this city should exceed 200,000.

So how much wealth, how much land, is needed to feed this city of 200,000 people?

Just see the city's docks, densely packed with merchant ships.

It is a city of trade.

After a few minutes, the praising of the pirate leader ended.

But the other party still did not open the door, and did not even put down the bow and crossbow.

The pirate leader suddenly became even more humble.

Next, he acts like a magician.

"Now is the time to witness the miracle. Of course he didn't say that, but it gave people that feeling.

Then he ceremoniously opened the door of the carriage and showed the knights of the castle the miracle inside the carriage.

That is, Shen Lang!

The warrior leader at the gate of the castle glanced at Shen Lang, and then his eyes opened.

Orientals, and such beautiful Orientals?

"Oh my God, is there a lucky one? or is it an unfortunate one?"

Shen Lang understood the words of this samurai leader, because he spoke Latin. Of course, it is not quite the same as the Latin of later generations, but it can still be heard according to the wisdom brain.

Is the mainstream of the Eastern world Chinese, and the mainstream of the Western world Latin? What is the ancient civilization of the Western world? In addition to Latin, is there also Greek?

After sighing, the samurai leader waved his hand.

The castle gates opened.

This pirate leader stuffed half a bag of money to the leader of the warriors guarding the gate, was it gold coins? If so, how much was Shen Lang worth?

..................

Entering this large castle group, Shen Lang sighed again.

It is truly a magnificent castle estate, with immaculately clean roads and white marble paved. Even the patterns on the roads are very elaborate, and the roadsides are full of exquisite sculptures, some inlaid with precious stones, some gilded.

The roadside garden, neatly built, is even more beautiful and luxurious than the castle manor in the movie, and it is completely in stark contrast to the dirty mess below the city.

This castle manor, almost every inch of which needs to be paved with gold coins, is at least much more luxurious than the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion of the Jin family.

The owner of this castle, and at the same time the owner of this city, can have a very high status.

There were also many slaves in the castle, especially beautiful female slaves, whose clothes were humiliatingly small and almost translucent.

The pirate leader led Shen Lang to a house.

The floor of the house was also paved with marble, but it was scarlet, polished to a smooth finish.

Then, the pirate leader waited here respectfully, and at this time Shen Lang saw that he had bathed and changed his clothes before getting off the ship, and he had sprinkled the essence.

After waiting for more than an hour, the pirate leader did not have the slightest impatience.

After another half an hour, footsteps were heard outside, and the pirate leader immediately knelt on the ground.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man, white and fat, walked in, without half a beard, dressed in a sumptuous silk robe, with several gold rings, each set with different gemstones, followed by a dozen heavily armed warriors.

It looked like he was a master, but Shen Lang could see at a glance that he was a eunuch.

The pirate leader fell to his knees, once again chanting like an aria.

The richly dressed eunuch listened perfunctorily, looking Shen Lang up and down, amazed.

Then he took a silk handkerchief and covered his nose with disgust, and stood far away from the pirate leader, as if disgusted by his baseliness.

The pirate leader had changed his silk clothes, washed them cleanly, and even had his hair and beard groomed, but he was still disgusted by the white eunuch.

Shen Lang knew that in the ancient Western world of the earth, eunuchs were also used extensively, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and so on.

Is this eunuch in front of him a unique phenomenon, or a normal profession?

The pirate leader was still on his knees, singing desperately, his status was not low, at least he had a pirate ship, and there were hundreds of pirates under his command, but he was as humble as a dog in front of this eunuch.

After singing the praises for seven or eight minutes, the eunuch waved his hand impatiently.

Two samurai came in carrying a box and opened it directly in front of the pirate leader.

A whole box of gold coins.

This is a large box, which contains about 3,000 gold coins, weighing more than 200 catties.

The pirate leader was overjoyed and desperately kowtowed to the eunuch.

When Shen Lang entered the city, he had seen the slave trade, a sturdy black slave, worth only three gold coins.

And Shen Lang alone exceeded the price of a thousand slaves?

Lang Ye didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

No wonder the pirate leader was ecstatic when he saw Shen Lang, and he fed him with the most exquisite food, and dressed him in luxurious silk robes, as well as precious stone embellishments, and expensive essences, just like delicate jade, lest he damage a little.

It turned out that Shen Lang's profit alone exceeded that of his slaves on one ship.

The most outstanding Oiran of the Great Yan Empire may not be able to sell for 3,000 gold coins.

The eunuch waved his hand again, meaning to ask the pirate leader to quickly leave with the gold coins.

The pirate leader had a lot of strength, and it was not difficult to hold the gold coin box, and he rushed out directly.

"Bring me water, lowly people, lowly language, and I will wash my ears, and let the slaves come in and wash the ground, lest they be defiled by the lowly ones. ”

This eunuch also speaks Latin, could it be that this language is a high-level language in this world?

I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect to really start washing my ears, and several female slaves walked in and started cleaning the ground.

The eunuch took a closer look at Shen Lang's skin, carefully cushioned it with a silk handkerchief, and pulled up Shen Lang's hands.

Then he nodded and said in Latin: "A beautiful man in the East who has nothing in a million." ”

........................

Next, Shen Lang was taken to a palatial room with a huge bathroom.

Several beautiful slave girls walked in, began to take off Shen Lang's clothes, and led him to the huge marble bath, washing every inch of his skin.

The slave girls looked reserved, but a little excited.

"What a beautiful man, just like in the painting. ”

"Didn't you say that Oriental men are small, why aren't they small?"

"He's up, is he excited about us, and I can sleep with him if he wants to. ”

"Do you want to die? Do you want to be burned alive? Don't tease him again, or if he tries to force you to sleep, you'll have to die. ”

There were four slave girls in total, one white and three brown, a bit like South American.

The figure is very good, full of exotic style, and he is wearing a layer of tulle on his body, Shen Lang is not a saint, how can he be indifferent?

After bathing Shen Lang, he brought in a large bucket of milk.

Is it such a luxury? Such a large vat of milk is all used for bathing?

After washing the milk bath, he entered another pool, which was sprinkled with flower petals, and after washing, Shen Lang had a fragrance on his body.

In the end, after all the cleaning, the female slaves gently wiped Shen Lang's whole body with the softest towel.

That's not all, they took out delicate knives and built Shen Lang's nails on his hands and feet. shaved the beard on Shen Lang's face clean, and also got a very delicate haircut.

In the end, they put on a soft robe for Shen Lang,

Shen Lang can be regarded as living a very luxurious life, but such extravagance is really rare.

This is no longer a normal exquisite life, it can be called extravagant.

Next, a dozen slave girls brought food, a whole table of delicious food, all kinds of things.

After the food was served, more than a dozen kinds of fruit were served, and finally a dozen kinds of wine.

Even a dozen people can't eat it, but only Shen Lang is eating alone.

Picking up the knife and fork, Shen Lang ate the delicious food skillfully, which was indeed very good.

Whether it's deer steak, ham, or caviar, first-class sturgeon roe.

Shen Lang picked what he liked and ate a few more bites, and what he didn't like was just a little touched.

After eating, several female slaves waited for Shen Lang to rinse his mouth and brush his teeth, and then withdrew all the food and threw it away.

Yes, it's such a waste.

Could it be that he dislikes Shen Lang for eating it?

No, the owner of the castle was certainly reluctant to eat the leftovers. And the slaves were not qualified to eat such fine food, so they had to throw it all away.

The slave girl poured a pot of tea and put it on Shen Lang's table, which was the most oriental thing she had encountered today.

"Good night!" the white slave girl said towards Shen Lang, and then retreated with the slave girls.

She also spoke Latin, and Shen Lang couldn't understand what the other brown-skinned slave girls said.

..............................

In the extravagant and gorgeous room, Shen Lang was left alone, and he was reminiscing about what happened.

All this already seems very mysterious.

Someone bought him for three thousand gold coins, and then did not ask him to do anything, but raised him in an extremely extravagant way.

At least today, Shen Lang's treatment is comparable to that of a prince.

What happens next?

Will the master of the city come in and let him sleep?

If that's the case, then the price she spent is too great, right? Is this a recruitment of faces? Or is it a recruitment of ancestors?

Besides, who is the owner of this city?

..................

This is an ensuite with a dedicated study room.

Shen Lang found a map and was overjoyed, so he couldn't help but hurry over to take a look.

It turned out that the name of the city was Bijin.

Of course, this is just a noun directly translated by Shen Lang, the original text is the city of blue waves and gold, which looks like a force.

And this map is the territory of the city-state of Jade.

Sure enough, in addition to this city, there is also a vast territory, Shen Lang roughly estimated that the total territory of this city-state is about 150,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a province of Yue State.

That is to say, the owner of this castle owns a province. Of course, this is nothing, the key is to master this trading city, and it is extremely rich.

No more information is visible from this map, as nothing else is drawn on it.

There is also a bookshelf in the room with a lot of exquisite books, all in Latin.

Shen Lang was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to take it and take a look, but was a little disappointed.

It turns out that all of these books have only one content, which is the illustrious history of the Russo family.

This city of Bijin, as well as the entire province of Bibo, belonged to the Russo family, which is now titled Duke.

Shen Lang briefly flipped through the history of this family, for a long time this family was loyal to the Xilun Dynasty, and for a time it was an independent principality.

Shen Lang took a brief look at this Xilun Dynasty again, and found that he, like the Great Yan Dynasty, was an incomparably huge empire, and it was also composed of dozens of countries.

But it is less fortunate than the Great Yan Empire, and the current Xilun Dynasty has been torn apart. Unlike the Great Yan Empire, it is still in full swing.

Shen Lang flipped through it quickly, because the history of this family was too long, more than four hundred years, and dozens of books.

He went straight to the last one, a very new book, even a freshly bound one, and the scent of ink.

Here, Shen Lang saw a key piece of information.

Today, the Russo family is loyal to the Witch Empire.

Witch Empire?

What the hell is this name?

What does this have to do with Qiu You'er? Such a second name really looks like Qiu You'er's.

Shen Lang originally wanted to read the information about the Witch Empire, but the content behind it was burned.

It's not accidentally burned, but it can be burned, and it is burned neatly.

What does this mean? Why burn it?

Do you not acknowledge this history, or do you change your position?

Shen Lang continued to flip forward and found that it was not of much value.

This Russo family, and this Jajin City, are almost completely tied to the Xilun Dynasty.

It is not so much the history of the Russo family as the history of the rise and fall of the Xilun Dynasty.

The First Empire of Xilun, the Second Empire of Xilun, the Third Imperial of Xilun.

From these three names, it can be seen how many times this Xilun dynasty was destroyed and how many times it was reborn through the backdoor.

It's like the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire.

And now the Third Reich seems to be still struggling, but it has been hit by a huge blow from the Witch Empire.

Shen Lang rummaged around, wanting to see how big the territory of this witch empire was, but the result was very chaotic.

The territory of this witch empire is always changing, but it can be seen that it is indeed large, at least a few million square kilometers, but it seems to be full of uncertainty.

With in-depth reading, Shen Lang saw that the Russo family was full of malice towards the Witch Empire, even if it claimed to be loyal to the Witch Empire at this time, the name of this empire alone was abnormal.

Shen Lang wanted to see more information about this witch empire, but it was all burned.

It seems that the Russo family is deliberately trying to erase all the information of the Witch Empire.

Next, Shen Lang flipped through the masters of the Russo family in the past generations.

This last generation of Bijin City Lord, the monarch of the Bibo Principality, is indeed a woman.

Her name is Depos Russo.

His nicknames have a long and long list, title, birth, princess, tsunami, tamer, and so on.

In short, in this book, the Archduchess of Debose is a very, very remarkable person.

The beauty is unparalleled, the martial arts are strong, the holiness and the nobility and so on.

Shen Lang has skimmed over these contents, Westerners like to brag more than Orientals, and the monarchs of the Eastern Dynasty are a little more subtle.

The only valuable information came out.

The Grand Duchess had been married, but her husband had died, so she became a widow, and she was Chinese New Year's Eve a year old.

Finally, Shen Lang turned over the portrait of the female archduke, dressed in military uniform, but he didn't look at it. Because this portrait is so freehand, I can't see what it looks like at all.

However, Shen Lang has almost already obtained some information.

This Grand Duke Debos owned 150,000 square kilometers of land, and was once loyal to the Xilun Dynasty, but later loyal to the Witch Empire, but was full of hostility to the Witch Empire in her heart.

And she is the richest and most powerful widow in the region.

The city is one of several trading centers in the Western world.

This family spent three thousand gold coins to buy Shen Lang, which is an astronomical amount for others, but it is completely a drop in the bucket for this female grand duke, and her wealth is simply coveted by Shen Lang.

So why did she buy the beautiful men of the Eastern world?

Did Shen Lang be the only one she bought?

Judging from the information in front of me, it is indeed like buying noodles to serve this archduchess.

But in these books, the private life of the Grand Duchess is described in a very holy way, and she never marries again except for a husband.

Of course, this kind of family-made book must be extremely glorified by itself, and even a woman who is a good man will write it as a holy fairy.

So will this happen next?

Shen Lang was whitewashed, and then wrapped in a sheet and sent to a splendid palace, for this female archduke to enjoy?

Or did she wait for the door to open suddenly, and the female eldest duke rushed in and ravaged Shen Lang?

.....................

However, nothing happened next!

Even for days, nothing happened.

Shen Lang still enjoyed a life comparable to that of a prince, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but he didn't ask him to do anything.

But there is no freedom.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he would immediately be blocked by two samurai.

This Archduchess of Debos, Shen Lang never saw it. And no one spoke to him, and the only thing the slave girl leader said to him was goodnight.

Shen Lang has become a canary, and even the middle-aged eunuch has never come.

During this time, Shen Lang flipped through the "Lusso Family History" over and over again.

Three days passed, five days passed.

Half a month has passed.

He was still in this gorgeous suite, still kept in a cage like a canary, and he was not allowed to go out for half a step.

He asked to read more books, but also received no response.

But Shen Lang felt that this Duke Debos was not in the castle, not even in the city.

He is a very perceptive person, and a castle with a master is completely different from a castle without a master.

At this moment, Shen Lang's main concern is not this Duke Debos, but the Witch Empire, and he desperately wants to know if this Witch Empire has anything to do with the Demon Enemy.

And standing on the balcony, Shen Lang could find that the atmosphere in the city was a little tense.

Every day, slave ships docked and brought batch after batch of strong black slaves into the city, and indeed trained to become an army.

Shen Lang had already seen a large number of slave troops, fully armed, countless.

There are more than tens of thousands of slaves, and counting.

What does this Duke Debos want to do?

..................

Twenty-three days later!

"Dangdang......"

Suddenly, the bell rang throughout the city.

Then all the boats on the bay pier got out of the way.

A splendid fleet entered the bay and began to land.

A very large fleet, with dozens of large warships, all of which bear the flag of the Russo family.

Speaking of the emblem of the Russo family, it is indeed interesting.

It is generally seawater, half of which is flame.

Shen Lang knew that the master of this city was here, and the monarch of the entire Bibo Principality was here.

The fleet docked.

Bands after teams of gorgeous samurai came ashore.

A woman in golden armor, riding a white horse, slowly went ashore.

Then, a cavalry of more than a thousand men rushed out of the city to meet them.

Heavily armed with more than 5,000 men, the golden-armored woman entered the city.

Along the way, everyone, whether slaves or civilians, knelt neatly on the side of the road.

That's right, she is the Duke of Debos, the one who spent money to buy Shen Lang.

The richest widow in the region.

The supreme master of the territory of 150,000 square kilometers.

..................

"The Grand Duchess is back!"

A hurried bell rang inside the castle.

Countless slaves and samurai all went out of the door.

Kneel neatly on both sides of the road to welcome the Grand Duchess back to the castle.

At this time, Shen Lang noticed that there were so many people in this castle?

More than a few thousand were serving the duchess.

From beginning to end, the duchess didn't glance at Shen Lang, even though he was standing outside the balcony.

..................

Night falls!

Shen Lang once again experienced a holy bath.

Hot springs, milk, wine, perfume.

After four baths, the slave girls dressed him in a splendid costume that they had never seen before.

Shen Lang in the mirror is almost like he will shine.

After a while, the middle-aged eunuch walked in silently and said to Shen Lang, "My heavenly god, are you turning sentient beings upside down?"

This phrase is used to describe a woman, thank you!

But if you compliment me like this, I, Shen Lang, won't mind.

"Beautiful man from the Eastern world, please follow me!" said the middle-aged eunuch, and then led the way.

Shen Lang's heart jumped?

Are you going to see the Archduchess of Debose?

What happens next?

Do you really have to sacrifice me, a handsome man/woman?

..................

Note: Two more nearly fifteen thousand! The new plot brain is going to blow up, please support the brothers' monthly passes, it's super needed!

Thank you for the 10,000-dollar tip from the first handsome boy.
