Chapter 47: The Sin Trade
In the Duchy of Zerus, which borders the orcs, there is a canyon that is 50 kilometers long and about 800 meters wide
However, it was the only route to the southern Arrian Empire, other than by sea
Some of the rivers in Osawa converge here, and during the rainy season, the gorge is filled with water, and during the dry season, it becomes a natural trade route
At the end of the canyon, there is a lift that was built many years ago and descends a kilometer to reach the surface
During the rainy season, you can see a rare giant waterfall here, cascading down thousands of meters like a giant whale spitting white water columns
The climatic conditions here are similar to those of Osawa, but most of the Principality of Arion is located in the alluvial plains, with only one-fifth of the land being mountains and plateaus, so it is also cooler
Tea and spices were abundant in the area, the state system was slavery, and many wealthy and aristocratic people loved to collect rare treasures and rare animals
Groot's trip this time was to prepare to open a trade route to the country of Arion, but everything was difficult at the beginning, and it was also the first time they came to Arion, and everything was unknown
Doing as the locals do, Millie and Groot both change into local costumes, with a high turban wrapped around their heads and dressed in colorful local costumes
The people around him all looked at the two outsiders
Along the way, they saw all sorts of entertainers, children painted with strange ornaments, and tall giant dragon elephants marching through the city
The dragon elephant is covered with ornate pendants and carries a gilded pavilion on its back, in which are seated by wealthy local merchants or prominent nobles
There were also people in front of them to open the way so as not to hurt the crowds, and every time the dragon elephant stepped on the ground, it would make a heavy sound, and the surrounding houses would be shaken
It is also rich in handsome men and women, and the road is full of young girls and handsome men
The curvaceous waist was a fatal attraction to a man, and Groot couldn't help but look at the woman beside him, who was very curious about him as an outsider, and threw a wink at him
However, at this time, there was a sharp pain in the ear,
Feng Xia has given birth, and you still have the kung fu to hook up with women]
Millie said angrily
With me here, don't you want to think crookedly.]
Groot said with a look of grievance
I'm not.. I didn't]
Millie tilted her head to the side and ignored him
Arrived]
The coachman looked back at them
A total of 25 coins]
That's when Millie asked
Can you tell us where there is a big market nearby?
The coachman looked at her
You're orcs from Osawa aren't you?]
They nodded
It's been many years since an orc trade caravan came, and it's not easy for you.
Groot smiled and said
Isn't this coming again]
The coachman smiled in return, and headed north, where there was the local market, and to the south by the sea was the port of the monster and slave trade.]
He suddenly showed a serious expression and said with a laugh
Be careful, the orcs are classified as rare slaves now, so you'd better wrap yourself tight.]
Millie and Groot thanked the coachman and gave an extra 5 pies
After getting out of the car, the two quickly covered their heads and coiled their tails around their waists so that others would not find out their identities
Soon after, they stayed at a hotel and bought a map of the area
Millie asked
Let's come empty-handed this time, but how can we make money, you didn't lie to me, right?]
Groot smirked
Isn't that me?
Groot brought in five flower pots from the windowsill and placed them on the floor
Optimistic]
As the seeds are planted, almost instantly, the plants sprout and grow, and in a matter of seconds they bear fruit, all of which are large and plump
Taste]
Groot plucked a kiwi fruit and said to Millie
Taste your size]
Millie's face turned crimson and she said angrily
Really don't try it?γ
Groot picked up Millie and was about to do what Maple Moon did
Suddenly, someone outside the door said
Guest, I brought you the cloth bag you wanted]
He pushed the door in, quickly closed it, and apologized
Excuse me, excuse me]
On the other side of the city, however, the port trade is in full swing
Countless laborers were carrying goods, like ants, coming and going from the warehouse, to the dock, to the cabin
However, in another part of the harbor, a little more hidden, another trade was going on
Hurry up, you orcs!
The long-term worker is whipping the orc slave with a leather whip
Ouchγ
They screamed as they struggled to walk
More than a dozen orcs and more than a hundred slaves of other sub-races were herded into the warehouse, and their bodies were covered with new and old scars, except for hand and ankle chains
The chain has not been untied for an unknown amount of time, and the wound on the ankle has long been infected and suppurated, and every step is painful
An old slave fell directly to the ground at this point, convulsing
Instead of helping, Changgong whipped harder
Hurry up, play dead]
As he spoke, he walked over and kicked him hard
Get up to the old boy, old thing]
The officer on the side walked over and grabbed the leather whip in the long worker's hand, squatted down and touched the orc's pulse with his hand
Carry away, he's dead]
Changgong hurriedly apologized
Sir, I really didn't mean to]
The officer looked at him the same and said
You know how much this slave costs.]
He looked at Changgong and said with a smile
Sixty gold coins each, is your money enough?]
The man fell to his knees in fright and shouted
I was wrong, I was wrong, damn the villain, I didn't know it would be like this, the villain just did what you ordered]
It's okay]
The officer smiled,
Since you don't have any money, let's use your daughter to pay off the debt.]
The chief worker turned pale and cried and hugged the officer's leg
Please, spare me, I really didn't mean to]
The officer kicked him away
You can spare it, but you have to do one thing for me.]
The man crawled on his knees
You say, you say, the villain will definitely do it, go to the soup and go to the fire]
He was incoherent, his face full of snot and tears
The officer handed him a dagger and a bottle of drug, then showed him a face and said
This young man has a scar on his left eye, animal ears, and a tail, remember?
He continued
The man dies, the woman stays, hehe, the female orc is worth a lot of money]
The man took the thing and said
Remembered, remembered]
Be careful not to be found out by them]
The officer said
The Governor wants twelve orcs, not one of them is missing]
As he spoke, he ordered the two attendants beside him to follow, and he ordered
You follow him, this time you can only succeed and not fail]
The officer looked at the trembling subhuman slave in front of him and said
This is good, stay and bring it to my room in the evening]
The slave merchant on the side nodded with a smile and said
Officer Willie is really courageous, you have taken a fancy to it, and if you order, I will send someone to send it to you.]
As he spoke, he shoved a bag of coins into Officer Willie's hand, and said
In the future, I will have to rely on you to take care of it]
