Compared with the casual and moderate slave districts of the lower slave districts, there were relatively few people in the high slave districts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The apprentices were scattered throughout the market, and most of them stopped in the middle slave quarters, attracted by the auction of various beautiful slave girls. Among the people who had followed Zoro to this area were Bellinger, Cicely, Jab, Zebulun, and Achilles.

"This baronial lord of noble blood. Please, what can I do for you. ”

Sauron told the 'polite' seller that he would just take a look. The latter glanced at the pins and badges on Sauron's body once more, and slowly retreated.

The first high-ranking slave that caught Sauron's eye was a beautiful and dignified slave girl, who reclined in a chair like a work of art on display.

The slave girl has rare golden pupils, a beautiful blonde hair braided into a big braid that drags all the way to the hips, the slave marks on her face are also deliberately designed as a good-looking flower, and her tall and graceful figure wears a black dress, which sets off her white and soft face.

She looked down at something, looking at one of the potential buyers in the audience, her eyes filled with sadness and despair. I had finished eating the apple in my hand, but I forgot to throw away the pit.

"Look at this slave girl, it says that she is a mixture of human and alien, and her mystery is all up to the buyer to buy it home and experience it for himself. Oh, and the price starts at 50 gold coins, and a slave girl looks worth more than a free man's life. ”

Looking at the sign erected next to him, Yabu said in a sarcastic voice.

The second slave was a tall and burly man. There were scars on his black and red face, and every time the buyers in the audience looked up and saw these scars, they reflexively imagined a strong man with a shield fighting an enemy or a wild beast. But he was shivering on both legs, as if he had some kind of cold.

"Well, Black Iron Level 9 Warrior. Loyal and reliable, prices start at just 20 gold coins. It's just that I have an incurable cold disease, which is why it's so cheap. But who would risk 20 gold coins for no reason? ”

Jabu read the sign in front of him.

"Buy him." This phrase comes from the advice of the Ringwraith, who is invisible during the day.

Sauron didn't ask the Witch King Angmar why, he walked straight up the steps, a slight howl coming from deep in the slave's throat as he drew closer. It's like a wolf warning an animal approaching it.

"If I buy you, I'll give you back your freedom. That is, you don't have to serve me as a slave, no longer a slave. ”

Slaves can be driven by the director of the purchase and punished arbitrarily. Not only do they have to work unconditionally for their masters, but they are also unpaid and have no personal freedom.

Therefore, what can make a slave most attractive and value the most is nothing but freedom. Of course, not every slave deserves such a large price to be paid by the buyer.

Someone made a reserve bid, signaling the official start of an auction.

A Black Iron Level 9 warrior can be sold for a high price of 80 gold coins in normal times. But then the whole cold auction process, because no one offered a higher price. Except for the symbolic addition of 5 gold coins, Zoro bought him for 28 gold coins. In fact, the person who raised the price halfway can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye who is in collusion with the seller.

Zoro didn't care about any of this, and pulled out a ruby, which made the seller's eyes light up.

Ruby was circulated as a coin, worth at least 100 gold coins, and the slave trader simply recovered 72 gold coins. If this ruby is in Black Mountain City, he can also earn at least 5 gold coins of the difference. So in addition to immediately sending Sauron back a 'formalities' scroll, he generously presented the sold slaves with a piece of leather armor, a shield, and a large sword of not very good quality. "Sergeant Ares, he's one of the few heroes who can make it back alive from the shadows, because his companions are dead, and no one can prove that he didn't betray them and that's why he's been reduced to slavery. And you have given him freedom, and from now on his sins will dissipate like the wind. ”

The name Ares reminds Sauron of the god of war in Greek mythology.

It stands to reason that Black Iron is level 9, and Zoro should be able to see the data on Ares, but he can't find anything else after sweeping up and down.

If it's not cost-effective, the ringing spirit won't remind itself. As for the cold on his body, it may not be as simple as a simple typhoid cold, and the ringing spirit said that he can help.

"Although you bought me, I still have to say that when the next dawn comes, you may only get a corpse for such money."

Ares greeted his buyer calmly, and what he said was enough to make the people around Zoro stunned.

However, the slave merchant who had just sold him looked anxious and angry, for fear that Sauron would 'return' on the spot. "Shut up, Ares. Are you blind? Even if you regain your freedom, you should respect a baronial lord with royal blood. ”

"Hmph, I don't know who is blind. A slave who has not been 'trained' at all and does not understand humility dares to sell it casually? Do you believe it or not, where am I going......"

Behringer expressed his displeasure, but Sauron interrupted him.

"Spending 28 gold coins for a soldier of the Dande Kingdom to get a decent funeral, I think it's worth it. And I think I have that obligation. ”

Ares straightened up, though there was a hint of respect in his eyes. But he remained silent, carrying his shield and sword, and followed behind the group.

Among the slaves in the high-level slave area, except for Ares, most of the remaining Sauron are not eye-catching, most of them are female slaves, or some kind of alien race. The remaining professional slaves, in addition to their high prices, generally did not have high occupations.

So Sauron returned to the middle slave area and sifted through the purchase of 20 healthy young men around the age of 17 with the price of 3 rubies. And equipped each of them with well-fitting leather armor, spears, and shields. A group of mass-trained slave warriors, a group of young men around the age of 17, who were slightly thin but stocky. Everyone has a class of Black Iron Rank 1 Warrior or Swordsman. The slave merchant who sold them boasted, "The slave warriors I sell are not as well-known as the 'Unsullied', but I can guarantee that they must have more potential than the castrated sissies, just be patient with them, and in time they will become your most loyal and reliable escort." So, you won't find such prices even in Montenegro. ”

The Unsullied, like a brand in the 'War Slaves' commodity. It is said that the cost of cultivating them is very high, which leads to the price of any unsullied person with black iron level 1 who is more than 50 gold coins.
