On the opposite side of the street, a platform was erected. There are wooden cages on the table. There were one or two people in each cage. These people were men and women, old and young, some unkempt, some richly dressed, some with knotted muscles, some emaciated, and so on.

As a merchant who has run through the merchants, Manid still knows a lot about the customs of various places. He glanced at the high platform and knew what the other party was doing, "Is the boss going to buy a slave?" ”

"If you see someone interesting, take a look." Li Mu handed the horse in his hand to Manid, and he took a few steps forward and entered the crowd.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous suit standing on the high platform held a young woman who was chained in one hand, while waving the fat hand with four huge gemstone rings and shouted, "Come and see, the beauties from the Kugit Khanate, only 500 dinars, only 500 dinars, 500 dinars can't buy losses, 500 dinars can't buy fools, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe this banner." As he spoke, the fat man pointed to the white flag painted with golden irises behind him.

"You should know the credibility of our Iris Chamber of Commerce, and we are not bullied. Let's take a look. ”

With the shouts of the man in gorgeous clothes, the atmosphere of the crowd below was also mobilized, and several people who couldn't hold their breath had already begun to bargain.

"500 dinars."

"I'm out 550 dinars."

"I'll give 600 dinars."

……

In the end, the young woman from the Kugit Khanate was bought by a wealthy merchant for a whopping 1,000 dinars.

The man in the fancy costume who had finished a business began to get excited, and then pulled out a man with a strong body.

"This is a captive captured while strangling pirates. Look at this body, how strong it is, whether it is pushed to the battlefield to be cannon fodder or thrown to the mine as a slave, it is a good hand, only 100 dinars, only 100 dinars. ”

However, the crowd below was apparently less interested in muscular men than in beautiful women, and in the end, the strong men were bought for 200 dinars.

After several rounds of auctions, the man in fancy clothes pulled out a young man with some shabby clothes and a dirty face from the wooden cage. Although the appearance is not very good, the other party's eyes are unusually bright, and a pair of eyes are dripping and turning, scanning the surrounding environment.

"Let's see, this is the horse thief caught by the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, and he was supposed to be hanged, but the lord was merciful and didn't care, and now he is sold as a slave, although his body is not so strong, but he is still enough as a slave. Only 20 dinars, 20 dinars. The man in the fancy suit shouted loudly.

"20 dinars." After a while, a man lazily offered a price. These modest slaves were not very popular in the market, as they were likely to be unable to work for a few days, had a limited period of use, and therefore were not very expensive.

"30 dinars." At this time, Li Mu spoke up.

"30 dinars, and there are no bids? 30 dinars. The man in fancy clothes shouted.

The young man who had bid before glanced back at Li Mu, and found that although Li Mu was dressed ordinarily, he had a fierce aura on his body, knowing that the other party was a master who was not easy to mess with, at least a fierce mercenary, for a slave who would not last a few days, he really couldn't afford to be unhappy with this kind of person, so he didn't bid.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes shouted a few times and announced the deal after finding that no one was bidding, and then some of his subordinates took the slave to trade with Li Mu.

After counting the 20 dinars and handing them to the servant in charge of the transaction, Li Mu obtained a certificate issued by the lord of the city, and the horse thief, who had been reduced to a slave, officially became Li Mu's personal property.

Li Mu led the horse thief slave to the city for a turn, procured some supplies, and then led Manid to lead the horse thief slave to the outside of the city slowly.

Almost two hundred meters out of the city, the horse thief slave approached with a flattering smile, "That, master, there is something I want to tell you. ”

"Well, while I'm in a good mood, if there's anything, just talk about it." Li Mu pretended not to care and said.

"Well, boss, I'm actually a scout, I worked in the army in Vicchia for a while, and then I was accused of being a horse thief after offending my boss, if you hire me you will get a good scout, not a slave who can only work in the mines for a few months."

"How do I know that what you say is true, and not steal my horses and belongings on a dark and windy night." Li Mu pulled out the two-handed axe in his waist and put it across the opponent's neck.

"My name is Mama Tea, and many people know me, and Ramon from Chanda Town knows me well. You should know Ramon's character. It's not very far from Zenda, you can go and verify my identity with him. Mama Tea hurriedly said.

"Well, I hope you didn't lie to me, if you prove your worth, I'll consider hiring you, and if you can't, then I'll sell you to Ramon, and I'm sure you won't want to know where his goods end up." Li Mu withdrew the two-handed axe that was hanging on Mama Cha's neck.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord, I will prove that your choice is worth it." Mama Tea hurriedly nodded in agreement, and the cold breath on the axe on his hands just now made him shiver. As a scout, Mama Tea has been on the verge of death for many years, and has brushed shoulders with death countless times, but no one has ever given him such a terrifying feeling, not even those nobles and Vekia Heavy Guards (Vekia's highest-ranking infantry) have not given him such a strong sense of crisis.

"It seems that the master who followed this time really can't be underestimated, otherwise, it will really be over." Mama Tea silently breathed a sigh of relief while being happy for what had happened to her.

Although he suffered a little bit of his own sin, he also knew a powerful master because of it. In this war-torn era, strong force represents more opportunities and wealth, if you don't have strong force, then you have to work hard to find a backer with strong force.

Although he himself is still in the investigation stage, Mama Cha believes that with his ability, as long as he performs well, he will definitely be able to mix in a good position in the team. At this time, Mama Tea has a little beautiful vision for the future.

"Manid, give him the pack horse and let him travel first, and when he proves his worth, consider equipping him with new horses and equipment." Li Mu instructed Manid.

"Okay, boss." Since there were only two people, the supplies for the pack horse were quite limited, and it was more than enough to carry one person, Manid handed the reins of the pack horse to Mama Tea, "Don't live up to the boss's expectations." ”

The three of them mounted their horses and galloped in the direction of Chanda.
