Chapter 8: Paladin
Zhang Hao and Lilith chatted happily until late at night at the Seven Cats Hotel. A night of deep exchanges made Zhang Hao a little sluggish the next day, and Teucer and Echard looked at Zhang Hao with indecent eyes along the way.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you visiting my business again? Where do you want to go today? The short goblin Les, kept rubbing his hands, looking at Zhang Hao and the others eagerly, and the ring on Zhang Hao's hand attracted Les's attention like a beauty.
"Slave Market, Lead the Way"
"I don't know which lucky person can get the appreciation of adults today, I'm really looking forward to it, this side of the lords, the slave market is at the other end of the ditch street, the place can be big, and the goods are complete enough for you to choose slowly."
"Ike, give Les some gold coins, take care of the carriage, I stayed up late yesterday, and today is a bit empty"
"Your Highness, make up for it, Les, is there a dragon whip seller in this black market? If you buy it, Your Highness will definitely reward you heavily! ”
"There is no dragon whip, but there is a giant whip!"
"Get out!!"
——————
The slave market in Marienburg is extremely famous in the entire empire, as long as you pay a starting price for the races of the whole continent, the slave hunters here will try their best to get you, from the Slavic berserkers in the east, to the beautiful girls of the elves in the west, to the ferocious beasts of the far north, and the green-skinned orcs in the south.
Before reaching the slave market, Teucer was sent back to the castle to contact the guards to cancel the holiday and take precautions.
Zhang Hao, Echard, under the leadership of Les, put the carriage and walked into the slave market like a vegetable market.
"So early, so many people"
"My lord, you have to pick the good goods first, and if it's late, there will be no hair."
"Also, it's not like a commodity that can be crafted, so let's go around."
"Okay lord, follow me" Les, as a goblin with a very low status, came to the slave trading field with a lower status than him, and the spirit head came, introducing the advantages and disadvantages of various slaves while leading the road, as well as how to identify the good and bad of slaves.
The slaves who came out of the market were either kept in cages, or if they could not be kept up, they sat underground in various shackles for people to buy and sell. The bargaining is one after another.
Just when Zhang Hao and the others passed by a stall that no one cared about, a slave with wounds and messy hair suddenly rushed towards everyone like crazy, but he forgot the chain around his neck, and threw himself to the ground directly with too much force, but he didn't care about the pain at all, and Zhang Hao couldn't speak clearly, and burst into tears.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry! I'm scared of you! This damn slave, I'll punish him" After saying that, the slave merchant who ran over to apologize waved the whip in his hand and slapped the slave fiercely, crackling new wounds on top of old wounds, and blood flowing.
"Bastard, you will be punished for ramming my honored guest!" Les was afraid that Zhang Hao would be angry with him, so he hurriedly scolded the slave owner.
"Okay, stop fighting, I don't mean to blame you, let's get out of the way first"
"Your Excellency, this slave is new, he has always been relatively undisciplined, although he is not ready to be a slave, but he has extremely powerful power, you see, my lord, it is all magic shackles, since he is so enthusiastic about adults, he must have remembered the people of his hometown, my lord, you see or you will buy him" The slave owner nodded and stood in front of Zhang Hao and strongly recommended this slave.
In fact, the slave owner was bitter and couldn't say it, when the slaves were collected, this person, sturdy, burly, although unconscious, face full of blood, but it can be seen that he is also a handsome guy, although the tongue was pulled out for some price, but it is also a good goods, selling to those noblewomen in the city can also earn hundreds of gold. But who knew that this product woke up extremely manic, very can't persuade it, I thought I could shoot quickly, but it turned out to be smashed in my hand for several days, and today this crying and kneeling is the first time to see, hoping to play an emotional card to sell.
Zhang Hao slowly walked to the slave whose face was full of tears mixed with dirt, pointed to the Lion King badge that had been hanging on his chest since he entered the market, and asked, "Acquaintance?" ”
The slave listened and nodded incessantly.
Zhang Hao leaned his head a little closer and said in a low voice, "Cui Bisi"
The slave was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed frantically, and after a while, blood flowed all over his face.
After Zhang Hao reacted, he dragged the slave and turned around and said, "Make an offer!" ”
"Five hundred gold coins!"
"Two hundred and five!"
"Four hundred!"
"Two hundred!"
"My lord! I'm ......."
"One hundred!"
"Don't fall, don't drop! Two hundred! Sell! Sell! Sell! ”
"Ike, pay!"
"Your Highness, why me again!"
Zhang Hao ignored Ike and gently wiped the dirt on the slave's face with a handkerchief, "A warrior should look like a warrior, and he is not allowed to kneel and kowtow casually in the future!" Zhang Hao was distressed, a proud warrior should have died on the battlefield, but he has survived until now, endured humiliation and burden, and is worthy of respect, it seems that Cui Bisi is really not dead.
Seeing Zhang Hao pretending to be forced there, Echard couldn't help but roll his eyes and take out the money.
"Congratulations to you for getting a warrior, and you will definitely be able to help you overcome obstacles in the future." Rice is also happy for the employer, and the employer is happy to have money to give.
"Alright, that's all for today, let's go back ...... Back to Seven Cats Hostel"
"Your Highness, aren't we going back?" Echard was a little melancholy, this was always pitted by Zhang Hao outside, and the gold coins were sparse and irritable.
——————
Zhang Hao didn't attract the attention of the innkeeper when he brought this slave back, as long as you have money to play, you bring an orc back and the boss doesn't care, the bed is broken, just lose money.
The slave who took a bath and changed his clothes was full of resoluteness, his height of almost two meters was very oppressive, and his blue eyes were full of life, but unfortunately his tongue was pulled out and he couldn't speak.
From what he wrote, it was known that he was the Paladin Croze, the affairs officer of Bretonnia, and led two teams of foot warriors to escort the prophetess Trebes to Marienburg to sign a temporary agreement, and by the way to investigate how many Norse troops were wreaking havoc in the territory of West Province, but they were attacked halfway, and the evil vampire army was summoned from the ground by a steady stream of spells, evil and ancient magic, instantly turning the heroic warriors into dry bones, In the end, he was the only one who relied on the life magic of Trebess to make a way to escape in the direction of Marienburg. As a result, when he was about to enter the city, he was intercepted by the vampire of the other party's official level again, Croze was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and Trebess took the opportunity to escape into Marienburg. As for intercepting them, Kreuz didn't know who it was, a man and a woman, not of high rank, still retaining the form of a vampire.
"It seems that the group of vampires have pretended to be your people before you entered the city, otherwise if Tributus arrives first, the Emir will definitely help you, no matter how strong the vampires are, it is impossible to bring so many troops from such a distance, and the miscellaneous fish summoned by spells alone cannot defeat the Norse, so they asked the empire for help, what agreement did the Emir and them make in private?" Zhang Hao is very puzzled, this time the vampire has at least two officials, and a lord level leads the team, hoping that Isa's level is almost good, and another legendary Zhang Hao's head will blow up.
