Chapter 247: The Slave Market
The surrounding scenery of Fengjiang City is indeed breathtaking, a Yangtze River surrounds the city, the sun shines on it, and the sparkling waves flash along the water, like a vast starry sky. And the willows by the river are fluttering in the wind, like a group of beautiful girls dancing around the whole city, which makes people can't take their eyes off.
"It's beautiful."
Wu Qin, who had just passed through the 45-level leveling area, couldn't help but praise, how good it would be if they took this city along the river, no matter the scenery and scale, it was not the same level as Garin City. If you add some greenery to the city, it is definitely the most ideal living environment.
Of course, this is unrealistic, and it can only be a dream to take this city with the current Shunjiang.
Yang Cheng also nodded again and again, although he had been to Fengjiang City during the internal test, but now it seems that there are many differences between this place and the internal test. The area of the city and the width of the river have changed, and it seems to be more grandiose, and sure enough, the experience of the internal test is not accurate, and the whole new world has changed too much.
Wind River City is actually not a big city in the New World, at least there is still some distance from Wind Spirit City, but it still has three city gates. The path chosen by Yang Cheng and Wu Qin reached the South City Gate, which looked very lively, and there were NPCs constantly coming in and out in front of the city gate, which was prosperous.
All waterfront cities will not be deserted, business is relatively developed, and it is normal to have these NPCs. And they are all merchants, and they are also people who belong to the various NPC system chambers of commerce.
NPCs are a very large group in the game, and they also have their own culture and way of life, and they are constantly on the move. The same is true of these caravans, which go to various cities for commercial activities, and also have large and small trade routes.
It's just that what attracted Yang Cheng's attention was that a considerable part of these NPCs who carried goods were ape-people.
"Hurry up, haven't you eaten?"
A fat-looking NPC swung his whip at the ape-man who was carrying a heavy load, knocking him to his knees and nearly falling to his knees. "Waste, if you break my goods, you lowly slaves can't afford to pay for it, give me some spirit."
In the other caravan, there were also ape-man slaves, and one of them seemed to be extremely mentally exhausted, and he carried two large boxes by himself, his legs trembling. But the human behind him thought it was too slow, and while scolding, he knocked on it with a stick, and suddenly he couldn't stand it, and the whole person lay on the ground, and the two boxes naturally pressed on him.
"Ah......h
The ape-man let out a terrible howl and struggled to get to his feet, but he couldn't.
"My goods! Bastard, get me up! β
The man was furious, and poked him with a stick, and then saw that he really couldn't get up, and couldn't help complaining: "You know how to eat every day, but you don't use it when you work, what use do you want?" If you enter the city, you'll be sold to a slaughterhouse. β
After saying that, he threw a small ball of things that I don't know what it was, and I saw that the ape-man's eyes lit up, and he crawled over with difficulty against the pressure of the box, grabbed it and put it in his mouth, looking like a hungry ghost was reincarnated.
And while he was eating, the human was still beating him, and he was still scolding and scolding, accusing him of consuming food.
"It's too much ......"
Wu Qin, who was in the distance, saw this scene, and couldn't help covering his mouth with his hands, his face full of unbearable. Although I saw the scene of apes as slaves during the closed beta, it was not so real. In fact, many NPCs in the New World have become more humane, such as the receptionist in the Newbie Village, even at the beginning of the open beta, it was just a stylized word and deed, but now it has been replaced by intelligent NPCs.
In other words, there are more and more intelligent NPCs, and the wisdom of Cheng dΓΉ is also getting deeper and deeper.
Yang Cheng sighed: "These people treat apes like animals, maybe not even as good as animals. β
"It's cruel."
"It's true, isn't it the same in reality, who cares about the feelings of animals? They don't even give time to eat, they only have interests in their eyes, and if they don't go their way, they will fight, and everyone takes it for granted. Yang Cheng said.
"But apes are also human, and they can talk." Wu Qin said.
"The logic of what you say is not right, whether you can speak or not can not be a reason to improve your status, I think that in the original slave society, the status of many slaves was not as good as that of animals."
As soon as Yang Cheng's words fell, the human couldn't stand the slow ape-man, or maybe he was too angry, and slammed the ape-man on the head with a stick, and actually knocked it to death. The bodies were dumped on the side of the road, waiting for the system to be cleared.
The two chests were naturally assigned to the other apes, and when they saw their companions die, their eyes were all dead ashes, and no one showed sympathy, and no one looked sideways at them, and they were obviously numb to such things.
They have all lost their souls, and they are like walking corpses, at the mercy of others.
"I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to kill those bastards!" Wu Qin's body trembled with anger, and he was about to rush out immediately, but was stopped by Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng understood that firstly, it was because Wu Qin had sympathy for these slaves, and secondly, because Yang Cheng's purpose in coming to Fengjiang City this time was these apes, so Wu Qin treated them as his own friends, and of course he couldn't tolerate them.
But no matter what, you can't do it at the city gate. Not to mention that there are mercenaries in the caravan, even if there are none, the city guards of Fengjiang City are not vegetarians, and they can return to the city for free if they come to a few of them, after all, these merchants have a status thousands of times higher than that of apes? It will definitely be protected.
"We can't afford this in our city!" Wu Qin said unwillingly.
"Of course." Yang Cheng comforted the sensual girl, then took her hand and walked towards the city gate. "Let's talk about it in the first city, and then slowly find the leader of the ape-man clan, and then see if we can help these ape-men."
Even if they are slaves, there are class divisions, and if you want to mobilize the ape-human race, of course, you must have a leader. It seems that there are many ape-people in this city, and there must be high-level ape-men.
Entering the city, Yang Cheng and Wu Qin found that there were still many players in the city.
"What a cow, what do you want to do when you come to this city through the level 45 leveling area?"
Yang Cheng was very surprised, these people are really interested, could it be a group of people who love travel? It's really possible, there are still a lot of wonderful places in the new world, and seeing the world is a rich experience.
The two of them then casually asked an NPC about the situation of the ape-people in the city, and the results were very satisfactory.
According to this NPC, there is actually a slave market in Wind River City!
It's no wonder that Nine Heavens ago said that many ape clans are coming here, and there is still such a deal. And in the place where so many apes gather, it must be much easier to find a target.
The slave market was not too far away, about a quarter of an hour away. The area of this building is not small, like a stadium, and when you enter it, you just feel that there are all kinds of NPCs, and you can even see a few players.
Slaves are not the only species of ape-men, but there are many other races, which also make the race here quite rich. It's just more like an animal circle, because they're all locked in cages big and small.
"It's too much...... Wu Qin couldn't help but feel sympathy as he looked at the languishing and obviously mistreated slaves.
Slaves are almost all sub-humans, all have some human characteristics, and all know human language, although most of them are walking dead, but there are also very spiritual beings, and they will yell in cages. Of course, they were greeted with sticks and whips.
Yang Cheng took Wu Qin's hand and walked around it for a while, and saw many races, some of which Yang Cheng had never seen before. And this slave market is not a monopoly on coolies, there are also erotic goods such as elves or catwomen, which can be called a variety of eye-openings.
"Oh, distinguished guest, do you need to show the way?"
A little boy dressed in tatters walked up to Yang Cheng and Wu Qin, looking at them with a look of hope on his face.
"Okay."
Wu Qin nodded hurriedly, she had never been to a place like the slave market, and she didn't have it at all during the internal test, so she didn't know what this boy named Little Harry was doing. But someone offered to help, and of course she was willing.
Little Harry blinked, but didn't move.
Wu Qin was strange, but saw Yang Cheng take out a silver coin and hand it out, and said, "Let's go." β
There is no doubt that this little boy is the shopping guide here, so naturally he will do things if he has money. It's just that Yang Cheng seems to have underestimated the consumption level of Fengjiang City, and a silver coin just made Xiao Harry glance at it contemptuously, and said with disdain: "This is not enough." β
"Wow, you look sloppy, and your tone is not small. So, how much? Yang Cheng said.
"No one here can say they know Harry better than me, and you're lucky to have met me. As for someone as capable as me, of course, the price will not be less, a full set of 10 gold coins. β
"Good fellow, it's so dark." Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to say 10 gold coins, but he was just a poor acid shopping guide. "So what's the treatment for 1 gold?"
"At most, I will take you to a store with a relatively high degree of recognition, and as for what you buy, then I don't care."
Yang Cheng nodded and asked, "How little do you know about the ape-man race?" If I know enough, I'll do it all. β
"Yes, of course I do!" Little Harry immediately smiled, it seems that he didn't look away before, Yang Cheng and the two of them are rich people in his eyes.
"Then let me ask you, who is the most expensive ape-man in the slave market?"
Little Harry snatched the gold coin handed by Yang Cheng and said with a smile: "The distinguished customer is really rich, and the most expensive place is of course the shop of that guy in Vebrun." Come with me, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied, there's nothing here that will stump my little Harry. β
Yang Cheng and Wu Qin looked at each other and smiled, and followed.
