In a certain area of the crown sea, a caravan is breaking the waves, and there are twelve ships in the fleet, most of which are special ships with full firepower, and the rest are big-bellied transport ships. There are two common sailboat configurations, one is slender and has the advantage of being faster, and the other is wide and large, with a larger carrying capacity. Most of the fleets engaged in transportation are wide sailboats.

This fleet was a transport caravan, but the goods they were transporting were special.

The goods they transport are people! Living people!

These people are goods, they are all slaves of different races, to be sent to different places, to be sold to different people. Some of these slaves were sold, some were captured, and they came from a variety of sources. What awaits these slaves is not a bright and beautiful tomorrow.

This caravan dedicated to the slave trade flew a unique banner embroidered with a blood-colored whip, and anyone who was active in the Crown Sea would recognize the origin of this caravan at the sight of this flag. The name of this caravan is the Scarlet Whip Slave Caravan.

The Scarlet Whip has bought a lot of slaves from all over the world this time, and they are preparing to be transported to the major ports along the coast of the Crown Sea to sell, and these slaves will be exchanged for huge profits. Ordinary slaves were of course worthless, and only those special slaves were worthy, and were able to exchange large sums of gold from wealthy buyers.

At this moment, among the flagships of the blood-colored longwhip caravan.

The caravan's leader, Jax, sat at a long table with several business partners, all holding wine glasses. Talking and laughing while drinking. The table was filled with a lot of delicacies, including many fresh fruits that can only be found on land, so much more. But I didn't see anyone eat a few more bites.

Yax was an experienced slave trader who had been doing this business for many years, and had witnessed the rise and fall of the entire slave trade since the beginning of the Age of Discovery. The perennial slave trade has accumulated wealth for him that rivals that of the country.

Of course, this kind of rich country means that compared with the treasury of a small country, compared with a large country where the sun never sets, the little money in Jax's pocket will be dwarfed.

Yax is an orc. He is a little older, and there are a lot of white strands in the braided braids on his head. Despite being a businessman, he still kept the habit of carrying weapons with him. Around his waist he wore an intricately carved gold sword.

Aromatic red wine dripped from Jax's fanged mouth and landed on the table. He had a good chat, and told the partners and his subordinates a few interesting stories about his youth.

In the middle of the conversation, a human gentleman wearing monocles chimed in, "President Jax." I've heard you've got a mermaid slave by luck this time. We are about to take it to the port of the Great Empire and sell it, and everyone is here today, can you bring the mermaid and open our eyes? ”

Many of the others didn't know about it, and when they heard that there was a mermaid in the caravan, they immediately cheered up.

"There's a mermaid on this boat? We'll have to see, I haven't seen it once. ”

"President Arks, if you do have a mermaid in your hand, don't hide it. If you show it to us, maybe one of us will pay a premium for it. Then you don't have to bother to take it to the port and sell it. ”

"That's right, let's show it for everyone to see."

Everyone said that they wanted to meet the mermaid, and some of them really wanted to buy it, and some of them deliberately joined in the fun.

Yax was on the rise, and seeing that everyone was talking enthusiastically, he agreed, put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "There is a mermaid on my boat, and it is also a girl mermaid, and the upper body looks as delicate and lovely as a girl." Now that everyone knows about it, I won't hide it. Come, bring the mermaid and show it to my friends. ”

There were several crew members at the table, and as soon as Jax gave the order, they immediately walked out of the room and ran to bring the mermaid over.

Everyone in the room waited for the mermaid to come with anticipation, and seemed a little impatient, and some people casually asked about the origin of the mermaid. Yax excitedly told the whole story, in fact, the process was quite simple, relying on complete luck.

One lucky wizard saw the mermaid on the beach one night, and when he was so moved that he caught the mermaid with magic. Mermaids are very strong in the seawater, and once they leave the seawater, they will lose all their strength and be vulnerable at all.

The wizard trapped the mermaid in a large fish tank, put a little water in it, and applied a magic barrier. If there is too much sea water around the mermaid, it will make her regain her strength, and if there is no water at all, it will lead her to be killed alive, so she can only put a small amount of water, only in this way can she ensure that the mermaid will not die and is not too threatening.

After being introduced by someone else, Yax contacted the wizard and bought the mermaid for a high price and brought it to the ship.

Although Yax has not yet mentioned a specific price, everyone here knows in their hearts that it will definitely not be low.

The price of an adult mermaid is about 100,000 diamond coins, and the price of a girl mermaid is probably higher than 100,000 diamond coins, because it is even rarer.

After saying the whole thing, the girl mermaid was finally brought in.

Many members of the Chamber of Commerce pushed a huge fish tank into the house, which could barely fit through the door, and if it was any wider, it would not be able to enter. The fish tank is rectangular in shape, semi-sealed, and even has a glass lid on the top, but there are a few pores. There are magic runes shining on all sides of the fish tank, and it looks unbreakable. A small amount of clean water is placed in the fish tank, and the depth is only about ten centimeters.

The mermaid is in the tank.

She was more than two yards long, like the mermaid as she was known, with a teenage girl on the upper body and a fish's tail on the bottom. Her appearance is extremely pure, her skin is white and flawless, and her dark eyes are calm and waveless, and she can't see the slightest emotion.

A long seaweed-like blonde hair fluttered on the smooth back, and the length was close to the waist. There is no clothing on the body to cover it, and it is directly exposed, even the two points of red are no exception, only covered by the chance of hair. The tail of the lower body is blue, and each scale is as dazzling as a sapphire, and the whole tail is like a finely carved work of art.

She has a breathtaking beauty.

The guests in the room were all dumbfounded, and one of them dropped the wine glass in his hand and fell on the table, and all the wine in the glass flowed out, but no one cared. Everyone's eyes were focused on the mermaid, and they didn't even blink, and the eyes of these people turned from amazement to appreciation, and from appreciation to **.

"Beauty, it's so beautiful, after seeing her, I understand what beauty is, compared to her, all the beauties I've seen before have become ugly, even the beauty of the elf can't be compared with her." One of the guests exclaimed with fiery eyes.

"It's as beautiful as a painting, or even more beautiful than a painting, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful woman in the world."

"No, I'll have to take a closer look."

The others also chimed in, and they were all stunned. One of them couldn't help but stand up and walked over to the fish tank to see the mermaid up close. The mermaid was also looking at him, staring at him. At such a close distance, even the mermaid's eyelashes can be seen clearly. He looked intoxicated, as if he had just drunk several bottles of spirits.

At this juncture, the mermaid in the fish tank suddenly opened its ruddy little mouth, and spit out a water arrow from its mouth, and the water arrow hit the inner wall of the fish tank at lightning speed, making a muffled sound, and a little splash of water exploded. The power of this water arrow is not small, if it were not for the cover of the fish tank and the magic barrier, it would have to shoot through the head of the person outside.

The onlookers were startled, exclaimed, and took a few steps back.

Yax laughed, got up and walked to the fish tank, stood five steps away, patted the onlookers on the back a few times, and said, "Mermaids are creatures of beauty and danger, don't be fooled by their beautiful appearance, even though she is locked in the fish tank, it is better to stay away from her." ”

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

Others also came over and surrounded the fish tank, looking at the mermaid up close. In the face of so many people watching her, the mermaid was not angry, not shy, not even the slightest fluctuation of emotion, and her expression was as calm as just now.

While the crowd was watching, there were various comments, among which a man with a lewd face raised a topic commensurate with his appearance.

"It's a pity that the lower body of the mermaid is a fish tail, and I can't have a spring night with her, so I can only look at the upper body and have a good time." The lewd man said.

"If you don't have a lower body to be afraid of, don't you still have a mouth?" The other laughed.

"Haha, that's right, it's the same with a mouth."

Everyone laughed tacitly.

At this moment, a crew member pushed open the door and walked in quickly, looking panicked.

Yax turned his head to look at the subordinate, the smile on his face narrowed, and asked, "What's wrong, why are you so flustered?" ”

"President, something is wrong, the last ship in our fleet has disappeared out of thin air!" The crew member who came in gasped and replied.

"Has a ship disappeared?" Jax was taken aback.

"That's right, it's gone! Many people saw this with their own eyes, and the ship suddenly disappeared without even the slightest warning. ”

"W-How is this possible?"

"President, go outside and have a look. This is no small matter, and everyone is scared. (To be continued......)
