Zhou Qingfeng was conducting experiments in a deserted village, and the evacuation order he issued was being quickly implemented. With the help of the information network within a range of ten kilometers, many people inside and outside the Banshee Castle were mobilized. It's easy to say outside the city, but it's inside the city that is in trouble.

The cities of the Northland are always as cold and unforgiving as the weather, and social relations are extremely cold. But after Zhou Qingfeng came, there was a lot of chaos in the city, both good and bad, and it was impossible not to be noticed.

The high-level purchase of food and materials has caused an uproar, and the implementation of the talent recruitment plan for more than a month has also attracted widespread attention. For the powerful, there is nothing to eat. But for the poor ghost, it is great luck to find a way out.

With Seth in charge of solicitation, hundreds of people have already left the Banshee Castle with hope. Ordinary men also need to be carefully screened, and the requirements for women are much more tolerant.

Because of poverty, the poor in the city do not have much resistance to selling their sons and daughters. Many people just ask for a bite to eat, and they don't ask for anything. In the slave market in the city, female slaves were half or even one-third cheaper than male slaves.

As the first batch of students recruited by Zhou Qingfeng, Lorraine spent most of the past month not studying, but searching for people everywhere. It was only when she got involved in specific matters that she realized how lucky she was......

The slaves were kept in cages with only a mouthful of water and small pieces of hard black bread every day. If they can't sell it, they'll be locked up until the next batch comes in.

Every time she walked down the narrow streets into the slave market in the artisan quarter, Lorraine was deeply terrified. If she hadn't been taken in by Zhou Qingfeng at the last moment, her fate wouldn't have been much better than that of a slave - the Northland was overpopulated, and there was no shortage of people.

It's dark and the city has a curfew. But a slave leader sent a summons that a group of good quality slave girls had come after dark, from seven or eight years old to teens, all young and cheap, and asked Seth if he wanted it?

Seth was busy arranging for the evacuation of the men, and when he heard that it was a slave girl, he asked Lorraine to take a few hired adventurers to see the goods—and if they were really good, they would buy them and bring them back.

The so-called 'hired adventurers' are all city fox society rats recruited by Adrian. This group of people will not be evacuated with them, they will just take money to do things. These guys are all roe deer, and a teenager like Lorraine is deeply afraid.

With these unreliable 'men', Lorraine, who was trembling, resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and arrived at the slave market in a horse-drawn carriage.

The so-called market is a large walled courtyard, earthen walls and mud houses, and the site is simple.

Lorraine has been here several times. The leader of the slave traders recognized her, and when they met, he pointed to a corner of the courtyard, "Wow..... the goods are there." The old rule is that a female slave has three silver coins. ”

A human life is worth three silver coins. Lorraine feared and hated every time she heard the other party's offer. She subconsciously still regarded herself as a slave, feeling that she might be worth a few gold coins, but she also felt that she was actually worthless.

In the corner of the yard there was a large cage made of wood, and in it there were piles of hay, and in the haystacks were two dozen numb women—no one cried, no one shouted, everyone was dumbfounded. Many were still lying on the ground, dying of hunger.

The so-called 'good goods' are actually all dirty and thin bodies. Recently, Zhou Qingfeng focused on buying female slaves, and the slave traders searched everywhere for this kind of goods and transported them to the Banshee Castle ......, and I don't know how many died during the transportation?

Lorraine glanced at it and said to the leader of the slave traders: "Get them some water and food, and don't let them die on the way." ”

The leader of the slave traders, holding a torch to the side, laughed when he heard this, raised his hand and shouted to his subordinates: "Do you hear that?" Go get some water and food, and our Lorraine brothers bought all the slave girls. ”

A bunch of strange screams rang out in the courtyard, and the slave traders were in revelry. In fact, these guys are also shabby, with crooked buck teeth and eyes, and they emit a foul smell, and they belong to the bottom of the stream. They made money from the evil business of the slave trade.

Hearing Lorraine shouting for water and food, the female slave girl in the wooden cage was a little energetic, wanting to see who the customer who bought her was? They also walked to the cage and tried to squeeze out a smile, hoping to make a good impression on their new owners.

In these years, there are a lot of people who have sold themselves into slavery, just to have a good master who is more merciful.

Lorraine was busy counting and paying the people, and arranging for carriages to take them away.

The leader of the slave traders, taking the money, went to the other side of the courtyard and said to a man hiding in the dark: "Your Excellency, I am not lying. As long as there is goods, this kid will definitely come, and he is especially kind to the slaves he bought, and he is not vicious at all. ”

"Boy?" A chill came out of the darkness, faintly revealing half of her frosty face, "That's a girl, can't you see it?" ”

The leader of the slave trade turned his head in surprise and sneered: "Girl? It's so skinny, I really can't see it. But she paid very happily and did not bargain at all. I don't care if she's male or female. It's a pity that she only needs a female slave, otherwise I could have earned more. ”

Frostface asked, "Do you know where the slaves this girl bought are going to be transported?" ”

"I don't care about that." The leader of the slave traders shook his head, "I heard that it was transported outside the city, but I don't know exactly where it is." If you want to know, follow the past. ”

Frostface answered, dropping a silver coin and shrinking back.

The leader of the slave traders took the silver coin and looked at it, spit on the ground in anger, and scolded: "This knight is really poor, so he gave such a little." I thought he could be more generous, but he didn't make as much money as selling a slave girl. The forces behind him certainly can't. ”

Twenty or so slave girls of various ages ate some food and were put into the carriage. The number of carriages is not enough, so they can only be squeezed, and those who can't squeeze can only follow the carriage on foot. Lorraine was busy in and out of the car, and practice makes perfect.

In the carriage, several slave girls looked at Lorraine through the torches outside the carriage. A young slave girl hugged a tattered blanket to keep her warm, and asked tremblingly, "How is our master?" Can you give one meal a day? ”

Lorraine just wanted to get out of the slave trader's yard as soon as possible, so he reached out and took out a piece of bread from his pocket and handed it over, "Take it, eat it slowly, don't choke." From now on you will be able to eat three meals a day and have new clothes to wear. I promise you won't regret it. ”

Three meals? The aristocratic lord can't eat three meals.

Lorraine spoke softly, but the slave girls in the carriage heard it clearly. They let out an uproar of disbelief, and their sallow faces rose a little blood, half happy, half questioning.

The door closed, and Lorraine hurried away. The sound of sparkling wheels quickly faded away, without stopping for a moment. But before driving, the leader of the slave trader didn't want anything to happen to this big customer, so he sent a little brother over to remind him that "someone is eyeing you."

This brainless sentence scared Lorraine half to death, and urged the coachman to hurry up. By the time she finally spent money to send the city guards who had curfew, it was late at night when she returned to her foothold.

Seth had just received the retreat order from Zhou Qingfeng, and was having a headache with the lack of transportation capacity - the Banshee Castle had a population of more than 30,000, and the number of carriages and coachmen that could be hired was quite limited.

Before Zhou Qingfeng, he secretly organized his own transportation team to engage in logistics, and he has deployed the transportation capacity to the extreme. Now we have to retreat, and we can't transport so many people and goods for a while.

"Spend more money to hire people and cars, first transport people and goods to the towns outside the city, and then evacuate in batches." The instructions given by Zhou Qingfeng are so simple, and there is no good way.

Seth reported again: "Master, Lorraine went to buy a slave girl. The slave trader said 'someone had her eye'. ”

After coming to the Banshee Castle for two months, there are too many people from all walks of life who are trying to explore Zhou Qingfeng's old bottom, and they usually rely on throwing money to get it. Zhou Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to this reminder, so he asked rhetorically: "Who is it?" ”

"I don't know, and Lorraine can't tell." Seth replied.

Zhou Qingfeng responded indifferently, "Retreat as planned." If there's trouble, I'll fix it. ”
