Chapter 173: Auction
"Welcome, welcome, what is the purpose of your here?" Richard took Li Qingyuan and Suo Long in a detour and walked into the abandoned ancient city, and as soon as he entered the range of the ancient city, someone immediately greeted him.
In addition to the smiling guy in front of him, Master Li vaguely felt that in the abandoned ancient city, at least a dozen guns were aimed at himself and others at the same time, and it seemed that the awareness of prevention in this ruin was still very in place.
"We are mercenaries, under the name of Gulf Company! Come here and see if there is any good goods. Richard pulled a necklace from his neck and took out the tag that hung inside.
Gulf Group and Blackwater Security are the two largest security companies in the world, specializing in all kinds of bodyguards, financial escorts, transportation of valuables, etc., with strong strength and huge scale, and even the national security of many small countries are handed over to them.
It's just that the real business of these two companies is actually to be mercenary agents and task commissions, basically as long as you have money, no matter what hurts nature, they will help you do it.
Of course, on the bright side, they are all legitimate companies, and they will never do anything illegal and undisciplined, even if they are governments, they don't want to find anything wrong with them.
He looked at Richard's sign, and then the Arab in the turban waved his hand.
"It turns out to be a friend from afar, please come in!"
Walking into the abandoned ancient city, I saw that the dark places on both sides were full of all kinds of contraband, and in the dead corners where the sun could not shine in, there were some people sparsely locked up.
"This slave market doesn't look like it's a big deal!" Master Li casually swept the surrounding situation and said with a little disdain.
Originally, I heard Voltaire's guy say that this was a slave market in the desert, and he had never seen it, and he was full of excitement and ready to come and see it, after all, in the so-called civilized world, it is basically a dream to find this so-called slave market.
But when he walked in with great interest, he found that it was really better to meet than to be famous.
The ruins of the whole desert are not big, only thirty or forty acres in size, and there are some stalls scattered in them, although they are all arms, drugs or contraband such as people, but the quality and quantity are good!
It's really heart-wrenching.
"This is the heart of the desert, and you can expect to find something good here." Seeing the disappointment on Li Qingyuan's face, Suo Long said slightly teasingly.
This German bearded man would have thought that this guy was a strict person, but after three days of acquaintance, Master Li already knew that this guy actually had the potential to talk a lot.
Of course, it's a good thing for a strange team to meet a chatter inside, after all, this guy often leaks information unknowingly.
"Flying Eagles, what are you doing staring here?" I found a tent that looked like a restaurant and got in, and the three of them ordered a table of wine and food and whispered to each other while eating.
Although the food in this place is the simplest naan cakes and finger meat, for Master Li, who has eaten marching food in the desert for three days in a row, these finger meats are really delicious!
"I don't know, although Interpol's duty is to crack down on the slave trade, but now they have the task of digging up gold, so it shouldn't be extraneous!" Thrawn thought for a moment and began to speak.
It is natural to say that the police catch thieves, but at the moment, those guys have tasks dozens of times more urgent than catching thieves, even if they have a strong sense of justice, they will not come to meddle here.
"Could it be that there is something to be sold at tonight's auction that has something to do with gold?" Richard had been staying by the side, and when he heard the discussion between Li Qingyuan and Suo Long, he couldn't help but interject.
"There's an auction?" Li Qingyuan asked in surprise.
The enthusiasm for this so-called slave market has subsided, after all, this place does not look as good as ordinary towns, and there are very few things sold, and most of those so-called slaves are old, weak, sick and disabled, and even if there are a few female slaves, they are miserable and uninteresting.
"Today is the day of the full moon, and according to the rules in the desert, when the sun goes down, there should be an auction here." Richard nodded and said.
This guy is a first-class talent in terms of reconnaissance skills, perception of danger, or knowledge of these customs and customs, and I don't know why Voltaire and Sauron always look down on him, which is a little puzzling.
"Held there? Can we go check it out? "It's been almost a year since I traveled to today, and Li Qingyuan really hasn't participated in any auctions!
As the sun slowly set, the temperature in the desert suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and the weather, which was still hot and dry, immediately became cold, and people had to add a piece of clothing.
In the center of the ruins, a circus-like platform was erected, and around the platform were several bonfires, and as the flames swirled, the whole square shone and flickered.
The people who had gathered in the tent slowly walked out, and Li Qingyuan roughly strafed the heads of the people here, and found that there were already close to a thousand people.
"There are so many people?" He asked Richard beside him, when he came in the afternoon, he felt that there would be no more than three hundred at most! Why has the number of people suddenly doubled now?
"These are basically the chiefs of various tribes and the local tyrants of neighboring cities, all of whom are here to buy things." Richard is used to this situation, and it seems that this is not the first time he has encountered this scene.
"Welcome to all chiefs and friends, today is the night of the full moon, and it is also the day when our auction begins, I hope that every friend who comes from afar can get what he wants here!" An Arab nomad in his forties stood in the square and began to speak.
"This guy is Kudu Khan, the leader of the biggest horse bandits in the Death Desert!" The talkative Suo Long knew that although Li Qingyuan was good, he didn't understand some common sense things at all, so he hurriedly introduced him to him.
After a few days of understanding, Voltaire and his gang already know that the two Jerry and Jason brothers around them are still the first time to come out to do business, because there are many things in terms of experience, and they can be immediately distinguished for the first time.
It is said that this kind of rookie who just goes out is almost the object of being bullied, but the skills of this pair of brothers are too powerful, and they belong to the kind of existence that can completely punch the master to death, which is extremely embarrassing.
In the face of this kind of newcomer who is strong and doesn't understand the rules at all, you don't know what the other party will do, so you can only pay attention everywhere.
Of course, because they are newcomers, it can be determined that they will basically not be spies sent by other teams or organizations, which makes Voltaire and them a little relieved.
