Chapter 2 Slave Traders
The city of Bergas, the city of the Duke of Akafir Lord.
It is 50 kilometers long from east to west and 42 kilometers wide from north to south.
Straddling both sides of the middle reaches of the Onyx River, it covers an extremely wide and prosperous area, and is home to nearly two million people.
The city of Bergas, a shining pearl in the territory of the kingdom of Farley.
At the entrance to the main city gate to the east, there was an uneasy commotion.
On the post road.
An old butler with snow-white hair and good spirits drove to the city gate in a black oak carriage.
Behind him was a large Earth Dragon.
The civilians trembled and stepped aside, making way for a way to watch the dragon pass in front of them.
Every time the Earth Dragon landed, the ground shook.
Several small caravans in front also drove the carriage aside, whispering to the Earth Walking Dragon and the carriage in front of them.
"Which noble lord is here?"
"This place is only available on the Red Clay Plateau, and transporting it here, plus training, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. ”
"Does this noble lord travel without an entourage?
"Maybe the maids are all in the carriage, how can you see it! Besides, who wouldn't offend such a big dragon?"
Before the carriage could approach the main city, several guards came respectfully.
After paying a large security deposit to ensure that the earth dragon would not enter the city and hurt people, the carriage was able to enter the city.
Driving onto the main road of the city, the streets are bustling on both sides, and you can see all kinds of people in strange costumes.
There were many carriages on the post road, and several of them could be seen as tall and sturdy as the black-scaled dragons.
The carriage drove all the way to the western part of the city, where the slave trade was specialised.
The Kingdom of Farley has been fighting for years, and the most consumed is not money, but population.
In the slave market, slaves of all races from all over the world could be bought as long as they could afford to pay the price.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the market, and a fat merchant with gold-rimmed glasses and a beautiful costume approached.
"This distinguished guest, my name is Dolang, I am a slave trader, I don't know what you need?"
The fat merchant Dorang said to Akron, and kept looking at the carriage behind the old butler.
The carriage door slowly opened, and a young man in a black dress, black hair and black eyes poked his head out.
After a slight look, Duolang hurriedly lowered his head, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Black hair and black eyes, a symbol of the Demon Descendant.
He regretted that he had taken the initiative to lean over.
"I need slaves, lots of slaves. The young man said slowly, his tone was calm, and he didn't feel the slightest emotion.
"We have dwarves, orcs, werewolves, bearmen...... here," after a pause, Dorang straightened up slightly, and there was a hint of pride in his tone.
"And, of course, the most popular elves. ”
Elves, graceful creatures known all over the world for their beauty.
The nobles' favorite type of slave, whether they can keep an elf slave, is also a symbol of the strength of the nobles' status.
Because this is an extremely dangerous thing, as an elven race, their revenge is more violent and lasting than many people think.
Tragedy caused by elven slaves is not uncommon in history.
"I need a group of Shanyue people, a lot of Shanyue people. Rod said slowly.
The fat merchant was stunned for a moment, sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead.
Sure enough, it's a demon.
The Shanyue people live in the mountains and live a slash-and-burn life.
Primitive, brutal, disobedient.
Most of them were used as coolies, used to open mines and cultivate fields, and undoubtedly livestock.
For the Demons, they have another use.
Living sacrifice.
Sitting on the speculation of the identity of the young man in front of him, a reluctant smile appeared on Dolang's face.
He didn't want to deal with the Demons, but he loved those golden cuties even more.
No one can say no to gold coins.
The life and death of those Shanyue people is not something he can control.
"Your Excellency, come with me. "Doran restores the grace of a slave owner and leads the way for Rhodes.
Demonborn, the abyssal native race.
He took root in the creation of the world during the Great Dragon War 20,000 years ago, and is said to be inextricably linked to those abyss demons.
Every time the Demon Spawn appears, it symbolizes war.
And for slave traders like Dolang, war equates to a lot of wealth.
After bargaining, a sturdy Shanyue slave sold for a gold coin.
For five thousand gold coins, Rhodes bought a full five thousand Shanyue slaves from Dorang.
After completing the formalities and getting the slave contract, Rhodes got into the carriage and went to the arms dealer to buy a large number of rotating weapons for the army.
A total of 3,000 gold coins were spent.
After ordering slaves and weapons to be transported outside the city.
Rhodes went to the government affairs hall.
After paying 10,000 gold coins, he went outside the city to inspect the 5,000 slaves owned by Rhodes.
Under the strange eyes of the administrative officer, Rhodes obtained a pioneering order.
"Your Excellency Rhodes, I know that young people are ambitious, but it is undoubtedly whimsical to rely on these Shanyue people to build a territory. ”
"Those aliens are more dangerous than you think. ”
"Even if you're a ...... This move is also undoubtedly suicidal. ”
Before leaving, the administrative officer couldn't help but say.
"I will soon open up a territory, and I am sure that by this time next year you will be able to see my taxes. ”
Rod stood beside the Earth Walking Dragon and said slowly.
The administrative officer was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
He could hear the confidence in the young man's words, and he laughed at himself for worrying about a demon.
"Then I'll wait for good news. ”
Seeing the administrative officer leave, Rhodes took out the pioneer order and looked at his signature on it.
"Rod Dearhead. ”
Following the local customs, Rhodes added a suffix to his name.
Give the Pioneer Order to Akron.
Rhodes walked up to a group of Shanyue slaves.
There were 5,000 men in all, all of them strong men.
Most people's eyes were gray and numb, like walking corpses.
Only a small percentage of the eyes can see complex emotions such as fear, jealousy, hatred, etc.
Patting the Earth Dragon beside him and making it lean down, Rhodes stood on its back, looking condescendingly at a group of slaves.
Until the barracks were built, he needed these slaves to work for him.
Beckoning an old slave who could speak Shanyue over, Rhodes asked him to translate what he had said.
The old slave's name was Agan, and the slave trade was a bonus.
"I need you to fight for me. ”
"You are all slaves with nothing and a life like a mustard. ”
"I'm going to send you to war right away, and you pieces of shit won't survive. ”
"But I'm willing to give you a chance, a chance to be a human being. ”
"Kill five enemies, and I will free you from slavery and make you a free man. ”
"Kill ten enemies, and I will help you ransom your family in the slave market. ”
"Kill thirty enemies, and I'll give you two choices. ”
"One is to take a sum of money and leave here freely. ”
"The second is to become a full-fledged member of my army and accept my asylum. ”
The old slave translated Rod's words intermittently.
With the old man's gradually high-pitched hoarse voice, a group of Shanyue people surrounded him with different expressions.
There was a different sparkle in their eyes.
A tall Shanyue man raised his arms and shouted loudly.
It can be seen that he is the leader of this group.
"What did he say?" asked Rod.
He was asking if he could really redeem his family, including the elderly, women and children. ”
Rod patted the Earth Dragon at his feet, causing it to stand upright.
The Earth Walking Dragon exhaled a breath of white air, revealing its fangs, and its mountain-like body made the Shanyue people retreat uneasily.
"That's my promise. ”
"My name is Rod Dearhead. ”
"Your master. ”
