Chapter 56: The Slave Auction
Liu Zheng came to the duke's castle again.
The guards were already familiar with him, and immediately sent someone in to report it.
Soon, Fresis came out to greet him.
When he arrived at Fresis's own study, Liu Zheng said straight to the point: "Charles has been slaughtered by me. β
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest of the matter." Fresis nodded.
"There's another thing, Charles grabbed a group of women, and several of them were sold to Ramon. Do you know this person? Liu Zheng asked.
"Ramon," Fresis frowned, "I was about to talk to you about this man, and several of the villagers of Fesdena were also sold to him, and I have sent someone to negotiate, but it didn't work out very well. β
"He's powerful?" Liu Zheng was a little surprised, he didn't even give the future duke's face, which was a bit powerful.
"No one knows how powerful he is, and anyway, the people who beat him up didn't have any good results. Some suspect that he has a number of different arms at his disposal. There are also suspicions that he is behind the Singar slave traders. Fresis said what he knew.
"That's it." Liu Zheng lowered his head and began to think.
"There's a slave auction tonight, and I can get you an invitation. It might be better if you go and talk to him. Fresis said again.
"Why?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Fiefdoms are sometimes wealth, sometimes they are shackles. The best way to deal with mystery is to have no scruples. Fresses said meaningfully.
With the invitation letter given by Fresis, Liu Zheng came to the auction venue.
He also brought Sherwood and two Noldor Ranger with him.
The invitation letter given by Fresis, of course, enjoyed the VIP treatment, and the 3 entourages were brought in.
The auction took place in a renovated old theater, and the well-designed dΓ©cor and thick candles made the whole auction as bright as day.
After the host finished his opening remarks, he began to auction the slaves in groups.
Liu Zheng asked Sherwood to pay attention to whether there were any villagers in Fesdena, and he himself participated in the auction every time.
Although he is already considered a huge rich, it is impossible to spend it in order to expand the army in the future.
He didn't buy the slaves who fetched high prices, but just picked some slaves that no one bid on to buy.
Even so, slowly more than 30 people were filmed, both men and women.
Yun Feng saw that his head was going to be big again, and Liu Zheng smiled maliciously.
Sherwood shook his head at him, the auction was almost over, and there was no villager in Fisdena.
Liu Zheng was about to greet the waiter and ask him to inform him that he wanted to see Ramon.
There was a new change in the auction room, a fat man wearing a red jacket and a strange-shaped knife hanging from his waist waved his hand to the host and presided over the auction himself.
Needless to say, this man must have been the famous slave trader Ramon.
"Distinguished guests, I am your old friend, honest Ramon." Ramon deliberately paused for two seconds after speaking, and sure enough, there was a burst of laughter on the field.
"Below, I will present the finale of this auction, and it is also a treasure that all discerning nobles think about day and night, a treasure from the forest - the Noldor Elves!"
Click, you don't need to look at Liu Zheng to know that the handrail was broken by two Noldos.
He reached out and pressed the two Noldor rangers who were about to get up, and whispered, "Sit back in peace, I will help you rescue your people." β
After following Liu Zheng for a long time, the two Noldor rangers also had some trust in him, and forced them to hold back their anger.
Curled up in a cage and bound in chains, the Noldor Female Ranger ignited the enthusiasm of the venue.
People are like they are on drugs, and they are crazy about raising prices, and the prices soon climb to an unimaginable position.
Liu Zheng simply gave up the bidding, and he didn't plan to spend money to buy it anyway.
"Keep an eye on the buyer and wait for the auction to end." Liu Zheng said in a low voice, and the two Noldor rangers nodded imperceptibly.
This is not a secret auction, the invitation is just to raise the bar, so the guests did not do any pretense, and the host also called out the names of the buyers.
"Congratulations to Viscount Tesper, for taking a picture of the finale of this event, let's cheer for him." Ramon struck the hammer and prepared to declare the auction closed.
Liu Zheng made a look, and the four of them sneaked out of the auction first, waiting on the way out of the city.
After a while, a carriage came out of the city gates, escorted by a dozen knights.
Liu Zheng waved his hand, and the Noldor Ranger, who had already been prepared, shot an arrow and hit the goalpost of the carriage.
The high-velocity air flow of the arrows startled the horses and stopped suddenly.
He was about to knock Viscount Tesper, who was playing with the new slave, and in his anger, he poked out and saw an arrow stuck in the doorpost.
"Where did the scoundrels come from, dare to block the carriage of this Viscount, and those who know each other should get out of here, otherwise I will hang you all." Viscount Tesper was not worried about his own safety, his dozen or so cavalrymen were all adventure heroes hired with high salaries, and forty or fifty bandits did not pay attention.
The scoundrel Liu Zheng and his two Noldor henchmen walked out, while Sherwood stayed in hiding.
"First of all, I'm not Wallace." Liu Zheng's opening remarks are novel.
Viscount Tesper was also a little confused, he really hadn't met Wallace, but there were usually people who claimed that they were not who they were, and that must be who they were.
Just as his mind was a little at a moment's whims, an adventurous hero whispered, "My lord, I have seen Lord Wallace, and this voice is indeed very similar to his, and the body is also very similar. β
"Baron Wallace, your joke isn't funny." Viscount Tesp said with a grim face.
"I told you I wasn't Wallace." Liu Zheng said seriously.
"Well, Baron Wallace who is not Wallace, I wonder what you are trying to do when you stop my carriage late at night?" Viscount Tester reluctantly cooperated.
"I want that Noldor Ranger." Liu Zheng replied.
"Baron Wallace, you can buy it yourself if you want, don't play with high-end goods if you don't have money, you can afford to pay for a prostitute in a low-class brothel." Tesper rolled his eyes, this kind of motley aristocrat just can't help himself.
Liu Zheng was a little stunned, this Tesp is a bit interesting.
He decided to make Tesper understand what it means to be self-conscious.
He walked briskly to the carriage, and Tesper motioned for the cavalry to stop him.
Liu Zheng stretched out his hands and knocked down the two adventurous heroes.
"Hua, Baron Wallace, what are you going to do?" Tesper was horrified, and the rest of the cavalry immediately prepared to attack.
"You have two options. One is to hand over the Noldo, and today it will be nothing. One is to try to resist, and I promise that none of those present will be able to escape. Liu Zheng waved his hand, and the sound of "whoosh" breaking the air sounded one after another, and an arrow was inserted at the foot of each horse.
The cavalry captain's face was ugly, not like Viscount Texpu, who was not interested in battle, he knew that Wallace was powerful, and with these two archers, it was not a lie that neither of them could escape.
But his work ethic prevented him from surrendering voluntarily, and could only expect his employer to have an IQ that matched his status.
"Lord Wallace, why do you have to ask for this Noldor slave?" Tester was puzzled that Noldor slaves were rare, but they weren't the only ones.
Liu was beckoning, and the two Noldor rangers walked over, took off their hoods, and the magic light shone out of their long ears.
"Understood?" Liu Zheng decided to give him only a chance to say one last word, and hurried back to find Ramon.
"Understood. Lord Wallace, I also know that many people have Noldor slaves, and some have more than one, do you need a detailed list? "Tesper's IQ is worthy of his wealth.
"I want all the lists, but you can mark the ones you want." Liu Zheng smiled.
Leaving behind a sketch list and the Noldor Ranger, Viscount Tespo once again set out on his way back to the fiefdom.
Although he lost face and lost a lot of money to shoot the Noldor slaves, Tespu was not as angry as he imagined.
He was now expecting the old rivals to be grumpy enough that he would vehemently condemn the banditry at their funerals.
