In anticipation.

As the blackout curtain was lowered, the hall of the manor seemed to fall into darkness in an instant.

But the servant soon lit the lamps, and the whole hall became bright and warm, and even the air seemed to be added a faint fragrance by the burning of the lamps.

"This is beeswax, pure beeswax. ”

Daniel was in the seat, and whispered to Wu Hui beside him, "But it seems that some special incense has been added to it, you know, they are all things that rich people like, if you don't like it, Brother Wu Hui, I have some cooling cream here to relieve some ...... Well...... That kind of heat. ”

"With this dose of gadgets, there's no need to worry. Wu Hui waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care.

Wu Hui has been in this world for a long time and already has a certain understanding of this world.

Speaking of beeswax, it's a precious goodie. In addition to its high medicinal value, candles made of beeswax are different from the paraffin wax used by civilians that emit black smoke when lit.

Candles made of beeswax not only do not produce dirty pollution, but also produce a brighter flame when lit, and also have the effect of purifying the air and strengthening the mind.

Because of the difficulty of obtaining and the high value, it was usually only used by high-class aristocrats like Blake and Daniel, or on occasions such as the Royal Theatre.

Of course, although the price is expensive, the effect is also very obvious. Illuminated with beeswax and mirrored by the lamp's carefully designed mirrors, it will definitely make the whole room brightly lit and very magnificent.

It's just that now Viscount Taylor has lit dozens of lanterns and used hundreds of beeswax sticks of all sizes, which is no longer magnificent, this is simply a luxury!

As for some of the incense in Daniel's mouth, it was a little special potion added to beeswax by some wealthy businessmen and aristocrats who were obsessed with pleasure.

After all, the aristocratic and wealthy businessmen who indulge excessively all day long are usually a little more than they can do, so it is often best to have a little incense to help the fun in happy moments.

Daniel was also a careful person, and he was worried that Wu Hui, who only had level 2 strength, would be affected by these incense, so he made a prompt.

But don't forget, Wu Hui's true identity is a god with a powerful spirit, even if he is really poisoned, it can be solved in minutes.

However, many of the wealthy merchants and nobles present, along with the entourage beside them, began to turn red and their emotions were high, and the atmosphere of greed and unbridled had already filled every corner of the hall.

"What a drunken fan. ”

Wu Hui touched his chin and slowly looked around, secretly thinking that this fat pig-like Viscount Taylor had long controlled the maritime trade in Amplo Harbor and the surrounding areas, and it seemed that he had already become rich enough to flow oil.

And these rich businessmen and aristocrats at the scene, arrogant and lascivious to this point, the oil and water in it are scraped casually, it is estimated that it will scare people to death, right?

"Whoa!"

At this moment, a series of chain pulls suddenly came in through the side door.

The whispering guests in the hall all subconsciously quieted down, and one by one they turned their eyes to the side door of the hall, and it was the first batch of "goods" tonight that were about to be delivered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the goods that are about to be sent into the field now are the best of our Thorn Ridge so far...... Male slave!"

With the old butler of Viscount Taylor, standing in the center of the hall, he shouted, and tonight's drama officially began.

However, the word "male slave" made Wu Hui breathe a turbid breath, and he suddenly lost much interest.

As an outsider, he already has a certain understanding of the slavery system in this world.

Normally, female slaves are often more valuable than male slaves, especially young and beautiful female slaves, who are in demand wherever they are. Male slaves are much inferior, at least in many cases, the price of male slaves is much cheaper than that of female slaves.

After all, in this world, male power occupies a large proportion, and most of the people in power and dignitaries are men, and their preferences and needs naturally determine the price trend of this market.

One thing is certain, however, that once a man or a woman becomes a slave, there will be no light in this life, and there will be no hope for the rest of their lives except to die a tragic death.

The good program arranged by Viscount Taylor now is probably the slave trade that is very popular among the aristocracy.

Less.

As the sound of the chains got closer and closer, tonight's "cargo" finally walked to the center of the hall under the drag of several servants.

Wu Hui, who had just frowned, couldn't help frowning after seeing this batch of male slaves, and immediately looked at him a little impressed.

There were 100 of these male slaves, and they were naked, with only a piece of crotch cloth on their bodies, and each of their hands and feet was chained, and they wore a rough collar around their necks that symbolized slaves, and they were connected to each other by iron cables, so that they could not move freely.

They lined up in the hall as they entered, their expressions numb or angry, and many of them bearing the scars of their swords, but there was no doubt that they were all powerful and heroic.

Wu Hui looked carefully, these male slaves were different from the oriental men he was familiar with. These male slaves have dark brown hair, well-defined faces, high noses, and their bodies are far taller and straighter than everyone around them, especially the strong legs, powerful arms, and large bulging strong chest muscles.

In order to sell them for a good price, Viscount Taylor also ordered essential oil to be applied to the male slaves, which made the muscle texture of his body more obvious.

At first glance, it looks like a Greek sculpture that Wu Hui has seen on earth before, and each body is full of the beauty of combining wildness and strength.

"Godhead, scan these slave boys. ”

Wu Hui secretly glanced at it and found that the physical fitness of these male slaves was as strong as beasts, and their strength had reached level 2 at the lowest, and thirty percent of the male slaves had reached level 3. As a soldier, this level is placed outside, which is comparable to the king's guard!

Compared to the Templars carefully cultivated by Wu Hui, I am afraid that they are a few points more powerful.

There is no way, perhaps because of the characteristics of the human race, these exotic male slaves are tall and big, and in terms of physical fitness alone, they are obviously much stronger.

It's just that these sturdy and powerful warriors have actually become the lowest slaves, which makes Wu Hui a little surprised.

"Haha, Lord Black, and friends, have you opened your eyes?"

Perhaps seeing the surprise of Blake, Wu Hui and the others, Viscount Taylor touched his fat belly and said with a smug smile, "They are all Herusians, born warriors!"

"The Herusians? I've heard of this race. ”

Daniel's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, so he turned sideways to Wu Hui and Blake and said, "The Herus people are not from our empire, they live on the far coast of the West Sea, where they have established a united city-state based on large tribes, and they are a fighting people who are all soldiers. ”

"This friend is so knowledgeable!"

Viscount Taylor didn't recognize Daniel's true identity, but in order to appease the Earl of Black, he still smiled politely, "The Herus people are the enemies of our empire, half a year ago, the powerful Black Skull Henry, the overlord of the West Sea, ransacked a Herus town, and I finally bought a batch of strong Herus male slaves from the hands of the Black Skull through an intermediary. ”

"Henry the Black Skull, a notorious pirate in the Western Sea, is a great pirate who can't even be done to him by the King's Navy. Daniel reminded Wu Hui again.

Wu Hui nodded in response, and at the same time secretly appreciated in his heart, Daniel, the grandson of the Duke, is indeed well-informed, and it is indeed a lucky thing that he, the god of light, can subdue him.

However, now it seems that there are not only sea tribes making waves on the sea, but also pirates dominating one side, and whether it is sea tribe or pirates, it seems that they should not be underestimated.

At present, it is really not easy for him, the god of light, to expand his faith and territory to the entire world.

It can be seen that it is imminent to upgrade the godhead.

"The batch of Herus male slaves I bought are a total of three hundred and fifty people, but after three months of sea voyages, only these 100 people survived!"

Speaking of this, Viscount Taylor was already facing around, and at the same time deliberately raised his voice, "These hundred people are the healthiest and strongest Herus warriors!"

"Now a hundred Herus male slaves, all of them are packed and auctioned!"

The old butler, who was standing in the center of the hall, received a look from Viscount Taylor, and immediately announced in a loud voice, "The starting price, 80 gold franks!"

"Whew!"

Many wealthy merchants and aristocrats at the scene, as well as their personal servants, immediately began a noisy discussion and bidding.

80 gold franks is not cheap, and ordinary farmers can't earn a gold frank even after a year of hard work. And a good young female slave on the market is only a dozen silver zaks.

However, if it is compared to a hundred sturdy Herus warriors, the starting price of 80 gold franks is undoubtedly a very fair price.

You must know that these 100 Herus male slaves are good bodyguards, mercenaries, and gladiators when they are bought. Of course, if there are some people with special fetishes, these hundred male slaves are undoubtedly the best male servants in the entire Thorn Ridge and even the entire principality.

In short, it only needs to be consumed once, which is much cheaper than slowly raising an army of 100 people.

"Wow, big brother Wu Hui, exotic, pirate, slave, strong Herus warrior...... Together, it is simply an epic mythical story! Little brother, I really want to compose a poem to express my surging feelings!"

Blake Lytton, whose body is full of literary and artistic bacteria, once again made up countless plots in his brain, and grabbed Wu Hui's hand, just wanting to sing loudly.

However, he was pressed down by Wu Hui: "Okay, okay, you just accumulate materials, don't you see that the auction is going on now?"

Blake let out an "oh" and sat down in agreement.

The current auction has quickly entered the white-hot stage, and the price has risen all the way to 135 gold franks!

According to the discussions of the people around him, Wu Hui learned that the two most competitive ones were the butler of the Lady Daisy, and the other was a slave owner from a nearby city.

This slave owner was not simple, he owned an underground gladiatorial arena in the area, and was a very famous and wealthy local owner. If he takes down these 100 Herus male slaves, whether it is to act as a guard or let them enter the gladiatorial arena and become gladiators, it will definitely make him famous and make him a lot of money.

As for Lady Daisy, her origin is also not small, but as soon as her deeds came out, Wu Hui shuddered.

This Daisy was originally born into a nobleman, and when she was young, she married a well-known hereditary earl in the royal family. However, Lady Daisy was arrogant and lascivious, and within a few years she killed her husband, and then inherited her husband's hereditary title.

She has her mother's backer behind her, and naturally no one will have an opinion on the hereditary title, and no one dares to have an opinion.

As a result, Lady Daisy owned a large estate and estate, and her arrogant life began to intensify, especially for men, and her earl's palace was filled with all kinds of fierce male maids.

She also often exchanged male servants with other ladies and noblewomen, or organized parties to enjoy themselves all day long. Every year, many good young people are abused to death by them.

Now that Dame Daisy is nearly forty years old, she weighs more than one hundred and fifteen, and her hobbies have become more and more strange over the years.

At this time, the vast majority of the guests, including Wu Hui and Daniel, were full of sympathy for these lovely Herus male slaves.

"I, I'll give 140 gold Franks, Mr. Polk, you also know your baroness' eccentric habits, these Herus people are excellent warriors, and if they fall into the hands of your baroness, it will be a waste of money!"

The slave owner in the neighboring city had already fought two rounds with Polke, the butler of the Daisy Lady, and at this time he was forced to stare at each other with a grim face.

"Hehe, Hodge, you also know that they are the goods that the lady wants, and you still dare to fight?"

Polke, the butler of Lady Daisy, didn't think so, but after carefully looking at these Herus male slaves and bulging crotch cloths, he sneered more firmly, "I will replace Lady Daisy and bid 150 gold Frank!"

"You, you...... Alas!" The slave owner Hodge tried to open his mouth several times, but finally swallowed the stuffiness in his chest alive.

In the end, it was still Lady Daisy's wealth, and Bock, the butler who attended the event on her behalf, increased the price by 10 gold Franks in one go, and she had the momentum of being with her to the end.

Coupled with the noble status and deep background of Lady Daisy, there were many guests present, but no one was willing to offend a big nobleman for the sake of a few male slaves.

At this point, the auction increase finally ended, and the old butler who presided over the auction immediately waved his hand and loudly announced that the winner of this auction was Polke, the butler of Lady Daisy.

Polke immediately saluted Viscount Taylor with joy, after all, he used a little bit of Lady Daisy's fame, a bit of a domineering element.

Viscount Taylor also gestured with his eyes, which can be regarded as a personal favor to Lady Daisy.

Sometimes favors are more expensive than real money, and he also made a lot of money by auctioning off a hundred and fifty gold Franks for a hundred Herus male slaves.

Therefore, why not sell Lady Daisy's favor, and act conveniently in her territory in the future?

Soon, a hundred Herus male slaves, who were about to usher in a tragic fate, were taken down by the servants of the viscount.

They would pack the cart like cargo, wait for the lady's butler, and when the feast was over, pick it up and leave.

"Alas, war is always merciless, the world is full of sorrow, and only by believing in the Lord of Light can we reap inner peace......" Blake looked at the male slaves who were taken down, and couldn't help but sigh in silence for them.

Liliana, who had been silent, seemed a little angry under her calm face, while Master Gaunt was still smoking a cigarette to herself.

In this world, it is always those high-ranking officials and nobles who do whatever they want. At the moment, even if they were full of disgust with the sordid slave trade, they could only curse in their hearts, and there was nothing they could do about it.

As for Wu Hui, he also felt very regretful.

If this group of strong Herus warriors were to be turned into Templars under his command, he was sure that with these powerful soldiers who were born to fight in the womb, they would definitely be able to create a remarkable combat power that far exceeded that of the regular army of the kingdom, or even twice as much!

Of course, he also thought about auctioning, but unfortunately his pocket was empty.

Is it necessary to use the little divine power to make coins? That would be too extravagant, and too ostentatious, too good.

It seemed that Blake, Wu Hui and the others were not in a high mood, Viscount Taylor turned sideways and smiled mysteriously at Blake: "Lord Earl, it was just a small concoction just now, and the next thing is the rare goods prepared for you!"

Saying that, Viscount Taylor clapped his hands again, and the mysterious look in his eyes was simply overflowing, and all the men understood it at once.

......
