Chapter 655: The Slave Who Sticks Money Upside Down
Sou~
Xia Fei's speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, under the guidance of the Lionheart King Oro, he arrived at the nameless city of the Lost Lands.
A dozen mountains surrounded a plain, forming a basin, and between the mountains was a rudimentary city, with many storehouse-type buildings, and herds of slaves in alloy fences, dressed in tatters, enclosed like cattle.
"The existence here is not known to the general public, the large slave traders here resell the slaves that are not easy to sell to the small traders, and they lead the slaves through the sparsely populated towns, and sell them one by one, those small towns and tribes do not sell slaves well, and the big slave traders do not set up outlets in those remote areas, so there are such distribution markets." Old Demon Oro said slowly.
Although he hadn't been here for a long time, the city still had the same function as before, except that the city was larger than before, indicating that the slave trade was still thriving in the Lost Lands.
Xia Fei nodded, "Slaves that are not easy to sell are traded here, so the city is a wholesale center for defective products?" ”
Oro Old Demon smiled: "It can also be said that I brought you here for a reason, these small slave traders are the real main force in the Lost Lands, they sell daily necessities, armaments, as long as they can make money, they can do anything." ”
"The population of the Lost Land is complicated, there are not many big cities, and the vast majority of tribes are scattered all over the Star Sea, it is easy to know the news of those big cities, but to fully understand the situation of the entire Lost Land, the only way to fully understand the situation of the entire Lost Land is to rely on these small traders who go south and north, and the hawkers are profit-seeking, as long as they give them a little sweetness, they are willing to tell you anything, those big traders, the big tribes are very vigilant, and it is inevitable that people will be noticed if they ask too much, and they are far less easy to deal with than these hawkers, you are an outsider at a glance, It's fitting to start with these vendors. ”
Xia Fei agrees with Oro's statement, the more humans who live at the bottom of society, the easier it is to deal with, and this applies everywhere.
Walking along the muddy road into the city, the pedestrians on both sides of the road were looking at Xia Fei curiously, they were draped in colorful blankets, covering their upper bodies, and under their feet were thick and heavy leather boots, with their heads bowed and their expressions obscene.
After walking a few steps, there was a wide fence, and the people in the fence were squatting on the dirt floor, their clothes were ragged and vegetable, their hands and feet were hung with heavy alloy chains, and their faces were tattooed by various merchants.
The fence was ajar, and anyone could go in and choose the slaves they wanted, as if they were animals, and the guards at the gate set up a set of tables and chairs, and sat there to eat and drink.
A fat man at the head threw half of the chicken leg into the fence and shouted, "Whoever grabs it belongs to whom!" ”
The hungry slaves immediately made a mess, and in the end, a large man with a blind left eye squeezed through the crowd to grab the leftovers, and stuffed the mud on the chicken leg into his mouth, like a starving ghost who had never eaten in his life.
The guards laughed, immersed in this game of torturing slaves.
Xia Fei frowned, as a modern person, he didn't like this kind of trade of treating intelligent lives as livestock,
Visually, there are hundreds of slaves in this fence, there are all races, it seems that the slave trade has nothing to do with race, no matter which race can be sold, there are stiff corpses in the fence, and the stench is not buried, and the barbarism of the Lost Land can be seen.
"Slave traders like this are just small merchants, large merchants often hold tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of slaves in their hands, the slave trade is very popular in the Lost Lands, many people who can't eat will sell themselves to get food and clothing, and it is normal for those who can't feed their children to sell their children as slaves, not to mention those professional slave capture teams, they purposefully loot small tribes, steal wealth, sell residents as slaves, in short, the Lost Land is very wild, and any kind of bizarre thing can happen." Oro the Lionheart introduced.
Along the way, Xia Fei saw several large slave markets, the largest fence contained tens of thousands of slaves, but unfortunately these slaves were either old, weak, sick and disabled, or stupid and stupid, all of them were inferior products.
Near the center of the city is a clean four-girl hotel, in a narrow alley in the middle of nowhere, and the three-story building has just been painted and looks very eye-catching.
Xia Fei settled in this hotel and chose a room on the third floor near the street, and the accommodation fee was also very cheap, a second-level origin spar every day, and breakfast was included.
In fact, in this kind of place, the accommodation fee for a second-order origin spar every day is already expensive, and there are not many merchants living in the shop, all of them are small and wealthy characters among slave traders, and the restaurants and bars are relatively quiet.
It was the little fourth girl who took Xia Fei to the room, a girl with a slightly chubby body full of blue freckles, and the real owner of the hotel was her mother, the fourth girl, the hotel was run by the two of them inside and out, and like all local merchants, the fourth girl's family also had two slaves to help with groceries and so on.
"This is it." Xia Fei threw a third-order origin spar to the little fourth girl and said.
The little fourth girl hurriedly wiped the stone on her apron, and happily stuffed it between her breasts, her eyes were full of admiration, and she regarded Xia Fei as a rich man from other places, after all, there were many vulgar slave traders in this place, and it was not common for young characters like Xia Fei to clean up and clean up.
Xia Fei invited the little fourth girl to sit down on the only rough chair in the room, the little fourth girl straightened her chest, the pair of dangling big white steamed buns were her pride, but unfortunately Xia Fei didn't care too much, the little fourth girl was very disappointed.
"Master, if you want to know the recent slave market situation, I can still talk about it, about things outside the city can only ask those slave traders who go south and north, it is daytime, they have all gone out to choose goods, and they will come back at night, or you go to the city first to go around, to see if there is a suitable goods, I heard that there are a new batch of song and dance prostitutes in the shop of Master Liu's house in the south of the city, although they are all, but they know the customs very well, and ensure that the obedience you serve is suitable." The four girls looked at Xia Fei and said.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, it turned out that the four girls thought that they were the rich sons who came here to buy singers, no wonder, what can people who come to this city do without buying slaves?
The price of this kind of goods in the Lost Land is very expensive, the young and beautiful singer can only be consumed by the really rich, the bargains in this city are very popular with those who don't have much money, and want to taste a fishy little wealthy class like, the price is cheap, the quality is reasonable, many small wealth sons often come here to exchange bargains.
"When it's time for dinner, those slave traders are back, I will introduce you to them, these guys can sell as long as they have wine and drink, but you can't dress like this, you are not a person in the industry at first glance, those slave traders have to get you, you wait, I will go and get you something." The fourth girl said with a smile, looking at Xia Fei with a rather strange look.
After a while, the fourth girl brought a blanket draped by the locals, which was colorful and rough, with an unpleasant smell of oil.
"It's rainy, it's cold, so the locals will put this blanket on their bodies, it can protect against cold and moisture, although you look like a layman when you put it on, but those slave traders won't mistakenly think that you are here for the first time, and they won't ask for a price, don't underestimate this dress, it can help you save a lot of money."
The four girls were a little overly enthusiastic and helped Xia Fei put on the blanket, washed a strange knot, and called an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
"Stone, take this master to the city for a walk, and serve well, my sister will reward you with a bowl of beef rice tonight, and then give you two stones to buy candy to eat."
The little boy called Stone was thin and short, with two eyes full of cleverness, and as soon as he heard that there was money to be made and beef rice to eat, he immediately patted his chest and agreed, he was an orphan, and he was very familiar with the slave trade in the city, and it was a good choice for a guide.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Xia Fei followed the stone out of the door, wrapped in a blanket with an unpleasant smell, and blended in the crowd.
A blanket draped around the strange gaze is really reduced a lot, Xia Fei smoothly integrated into the world of slave traders, it can be seen that this is really important to follow the local customs.
The stone kept touching his stomach with his hand as he walked, Xia Fei pondered that he was hungry, so he bought a few skewers of roast mutton on the side of the road, ate one by himself and felt that the taste was very average, and gave him the rest.
After a long gobble, Xiao Shi saw that he was eating as if he was dying, and stuffed it into his mouth, Xia Fei smiled slightly and handed him a bottle of mineral water, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”
Goo-dong, goo-dong.
Shi drank half a bottle of water in one go, and carefully hid the rest in his pocket, wiped his mouth and looked at Xia Fei and said, "You are a good person?" ”
"Pretty much." Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders, this question was not easy for him to answer, with countless lives in his hands, Xia Fei estimated that he might not be able to enter heaven.
"Untie your blanket, the buckle tied by the four girls is a code, the slave traders will definitely slaughter you when they see it, and then give the money earned to the four girls a little, this is the rule in the city, you were sold as a fat sheep by the four girls." Xiao Shi looked at Xia Fei and said.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, no wonder the four girls wanted to put a blanket on themselves and tie a strange knot, it turned out that this was a secret word in the line.
"It's okay, I don't buy slaves, and the four girls can't get kickbacks from me." Xia Fei said lightly.
"Really don't buy it?"
"Don't buy it."
Shi laughed, "That's the best, if the four girls see the knot tied with the blanket being opened, not only will I have no food, but I will also be beaten if I don't get it right, and the four girls and their mothers will be the worst in the city." ”
Xia Fei didn't say anything, the Lost Land is really extraordinary, every step is a trap.
"Shall I take you to see the best slave?"
"The best? Can a powerful character become a slave? Xia Feihu wondered.
Shi nodded heavily, "Well, not only does this slave not want money, who will paste a sum of money if he takes him away, Master Liu will also paste a sum of money, he is really amazing, he is simply a legend among slaves, even those slave traders are afraid of him, serve him tea and food every day, and serve him well." ”
Xia Fei couldn't help laughing, being a slave and asking a slave trader to serve him is really unheard of, and I don't know what kind of character this slave who wants to pay upside down in the mouth of the stone is?
