The interior layout of the slave auction house is very unique. It is surrounded by stepped stands, surrounded by an open flat land, on which more than a dozen high wooden platforms are built in a ring, and there is still a certain distance between them. Inside the ring is a stone platform that is twice as tall as its wooden platform. The wooden platform was covered with a cloth curtain, but the stone platform was empty, except for a wooden frame with a bronze bell hanging on the shelf.
Rick followed the crowd to a wooden table where several sturdy slaves from Sidi were being auctioned, and the slave owner was enthusiastically demonstrating how strong his slaves were. The slaves were almost naked except for a small fig leaf. (Note: Sidi.) Located in the extreme west of the Blue Frontier, it is the place where the barbarian people live in the eyes of the Blue Xinjiang people, and Sidi is their collective name, in fact, Sidi is a tribal alliance composed of dozens of nomadic tribes, and does not belong to the list of the nine tribes and fourteen countries of the Blue Frontier. )
Emma, who was picked up by Rick, asked childishly, "Brother Rick, why don't they wear clothes?" ”
Rick smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's hot!" ”
Sifeng sneered and laughed, this master can really joke, let him teach the child well, it seems that there is no hope.
After looking at it for a while, they found it boring, and they walked to another wooden platform, where there were more crowds, and it turned out that the female slave was being auctioned here. Fortunately, the four phoenix servants all had mastery in their bodies, and the six of them easily came to the closest place to the wooden platform.
The proprietor of this wooden platform was a stout woman, and judging by her tall stature and thick arms and round waist, Rick really wondered if she was a woman or not. At this time, the previous group of slaves had just been bought for a proud young man.
The stout woman stood on the stage and said loudly: "The most tense hour has come, and there will be seventeen good slave girls for auction at one time." The reserve price is 5,000 gold coins. The words fell. She motioned for the handymen behind her to pull a group of men from behind the curtain. This group of slave girls had just come to power. All major buyers exclaimed.
Seventeen female slaves with their hands tied were lined up, and they had more clothing than the male slaves, but they could barely cover important parts. The reason why these seventeen female slaves were able to arouse the amazement of the buyers was not because of how beautiful they looked, but because of their golden heads and tall figures of about 1.8 meters. They are very plump, and to put it simply, they are one size bigger than the average woman in each place. But against the backdrop of a tall figure. Far from being cumbersome, it presents a strong force. The slave girls had pale yellow skin and hollow eyes, and Rick couldn't find any anger in them. I don't know if it's because of lack of food and clothing, or because they have experienced a lot of hardships, their expressions look very depressed. But the stout woman didn't care about this, and she didn't hesitate to use her whip to make the slave girls stand up straight, and show her buyers what a good slave girl should be.
Emma, the little girl, looked at Rick with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Rick, these sisters are so pitiful, you can buy them." She saw that Rick didn't answer. Thinking that he had no money to buy it, he almost cried out and said, "Zhizhi will only eat one meal a day in the future." All right? Brother Rick, you buy them. ”
The four phoenix attendants stood aside, also looking at Rick with expectant eyes. Rick sighed in his heart: women are the easiest to be sympathized with. If these female slaves had become men in an instant, I believe they would not have worked so hard to make themselves pay for them.
However, he was still moved by the kindness of the little girl Emma, kissed her little face with pity, and said: "Brother has money, you don't need Zhizhi to be hungry, when you lose weight, Sister Chrissy will spank her brother's ass." ”
Emma laughed again when he heard what he said.
The stout woman began to bargain. Rick looked around, and now all the buyers were interested in this group of slave girls, but there were probably only two groups of people who were the most powerful, one was the arrogant young man who had just bought a group of slave girls, and he stood beside a handsome young man, with a respectful attitude, as if he was a servant of a handsome young man. The other group was not far from Rick's side, and they were standing in the middle of the arena, and although it was crowded, no one dared to approach them within five feet of them. Rick noticed that there was a fat man in the group, and although he was inconspicuous, Rick always felt that he was not simple. Because in such a complicated occasion, his gaze has always been condescending. This is the gaze of only those in power! Rick puts him on the list of things to keep an eye out for.
"Ten thousand gold coins." The arrogant young man made the first bid, and doubled the price in one fell swoop.
"Eleven thousand." Someone shouted again in the distance.
"Ten thousand twelve."
"Ten thousand."
"Fifteen thousand."
……
The wrinkles on the stout woman's face were all smiling. Originally, she was worried that these female slaves would not be able to sell at the price she had in mind, but now it seems that she is afraid that she will make a big profit.
"Fifty thousand gold coins." The fat man shouted, and he suddenly raised the price from 32,000 gold coins to 50,000, an increase of nearly 20,000, and this outcry almost shocked the audience. Never before had a large number of slaves been sold for such a price. The daily transaction price of ordinary slaves is only ten gold coins, and a good female slave is at most a thousand gold coins even if it is auctioned on the stone platform in the middle, and if it is usually auctioned on these wooden platforms, the price is reduced by at least 30%. But the current situation clearly breaks the common sense of ordinary people. They waited quietly for a bigger show to come, and almost half of them knew that the group of arrogant young men would not give up.
The handsome young man and his arrogant servant bowed their heads and discussed, and the arrogant young man gritted his teeth and shouted again, "Sixty thousand gold coins." ”
The fat man pondered for a moment, and then said, "Seventy thousand." ”
The arrogant young man's eyes were scorching, if he hadn't had any scruples about the owner of the auction house, he would have rushed forward and beaten the gang of people who opposed him into mud.
"Has anyone else bid?" The stout woman shouted with a smile on her face, "Seventy-thousand-once—"
Emma tugged at Rick's clothes, and the pleading gaze sobered up Rick, who was pondering, and he raised his hand: "One hundred thousand gold coins." ”
The audience was in an uproar. All eyes were on Rick, and when they showed that the bidder was just an unknown boy, they were immediately shocked and envious. More people noticed the four veiled women standing behind Rick, who didn't look like ordinary maids, as they were all armed with swords. There are also some people who secretly speculate about Rick's origin, and most of them are sure that he must be the son of a certain family, otherwise he would not have "more women and more money".
"One hundred thousand times—" The stout woman's shout became louder, and anyone could have thought that she was the biggest winner in this auction, "One hundred thousand three times—sold!" ”
"Congratulations to this son for buying these slave girls." The stout woman walked off the stage with a smirk on her face. Rick paid her a golden ticket of 100,000 gold coins on the spot. Then he said coldly: "Untie the rope and let them get dressed." ”
The stout woman took the golden ticket and immediately instructed the handyman to do what Rick had requested. Then she took the stage and announced, "That's the end of today's auction, please be early for the evening show." (According to the rules of the slave auction house, the auction schedule of the day was divided into three phases, two hours in the morning, two in the afternoon, and two hours in the evening.) According to the auction situation, the slave owners would use the break time to go to various private slave storage houses to transport slaves. )
The crowd gradually dispersed, but three groups did not leave. It was the three groups of people who had just bid for the slave girls, Rick was waiting for the slaves to get dressed, the fat man seemed to be preparing to watch a play, and the handsome young man was aggressively approaching Rick and his party under the opening of his arrogant servants.
The arrogant young man walked straight up to Rick, flashed a stack of golden tickets in his hand and said, "This is 50,000 gold coins, boy, sell the slave to us." ”
Rick acted as if he hadn't seen it.
Seeing that the other party didn't buy it, Yin Yin smiled and said, "Good boy, let's see if you can get out of Yundu." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yue Shi said angrily: "Childe, let me teach him a lesson." ”
Rick waved his hand and said, "Bear with me first, and then settle those female slaves." ”
The stout woman led a few handymen to send the seventeen female slaves to Rick, then walked up to Rick and whispered, "Childe leave quickly, that is the precious only son of the vice president of the Yundu Chamber of Commerce just now?" Fairmore, whose subordinate is named Tocresse, is very powerful in Yundu. ”
"Can he cover the sky with one hand? Is the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce big? Rick wondered.
The stout woman was obviously kind-hearted, and she hurriedly said, "Except for the Shang Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce is the largest. Are you saying he's big? ”
Seeing that she was funny, Rick smiled, "I'd like to see if it's big or not when I have a chance." With that, he led a large group of people out of the slave auction house. The group of female slaves didn't say a word from beginning to end, they just silently followed behind Rick and the others, as if their lives were no longer dominated by themselves, but handed over to the group of people in front of them.
Rick did not go straight back to the inn, but led a group of people to a ready-to-wear shop, and asked for thirty-four sets of good women's ready-to-wear clothes at once, and asked the slave girls to have two sets each, one to change into, and one to take with him. There was a look of doubt in the eyes of all the slave girls, who did not understand what kind of work this young man needed them to do.
They didn't ask, Rick didn't say anything, and the group walked silently towards the inn.
However, their trip was interrupted by a visitor. At the intersection ahead, a group of big men dressed as generals appeared, and the leader was the arrogant young man Tocres. You don't have to look, there are a lot of people behind you. The total number is at least more than 100 people. Rick didn't care, dealing with such a group of minions didn't need him to make a move, and the four phoenix servants could easily solve it.
Rick noticed a vision: the seventeen slave girls were also surprisingly bold, and instead of huddled together, they stood steadily, even with contempt on their faces. This made him wonder what the identity of such a group of women who did not look like slaves was in the first place. (To be continued......)
