Chapter 3 The Golden Thread Building
The pattern of the "Golden Wisp Building" is clear at a glance.
A golden bell hangs above the spacious patio, and the beams and pillars supporting the bell are also made of gold, which is not extravagant—this is the symbol decoration of the "Golden Thread Building".
In the center of the patio was a half-man-high circular platform, on which remained three very thin youths. Hands and feet and necks were chained, and dull eyes looked numbly at those who were about to buy them.
The open space on the periphery of the platform is called "Kanchang", and the people standing here are all small traders who have a few extra money to watch the excitement, and they are watching at the moment. Except for the people who "watched the scene", in this winding pavilion are all richly dressed and somewhat status-bearing people. Everyone has a look of anticipation and playfulness on their faces, and at the same time they despise each other, and no one is kind.
Do you see the wooden ladders climbing the walls on the left and right, which go to the first floor of the corridor?
After going up the wooden wall ladder, you will see that there is a four-seater cushion on the circular corridor every two meters apart, and there is also a low table in the middle, so you can drink tea freely. As for the guests who had come to buy slaves, they all stood around the railing, staring intently at the central platform. Everyone carried a bulging money bag in their hands, which jingled.
There are fifty cubicles on the second floor, each with a tea room.
The rooms on the third floor are obviously much higher than the lower ones, not only spacious, but also richly decorated, with two servants. There are 10 such VIP rooms, which are designed for guests of the elite and the like. At this time, those sitting on the third floor are looking down on everything below.
It is said that no one has ever entered the fourth floor, so I don't know what the layout is.
Here's a quick introduction to the fees: First of all, as long as you step into the "Golden Thread Building", it means that you have to pay the entrance fee of 10 spirit beads for 1 person. In Jasper City, an ordinary family of 3 spends about 50 spirit beads a month, of course, this premise is that there are no cultivators in the family. I heard that in the five-star city to the nine-star city, there are some noble and unattainable big people who use the legendary spirit stone as the currency of trading. (Lingzhu: An ore extracted from an ore containing a very small amount of spiritual energy, and then polished, usually the size of a soybean)
If you want a seat in the "Viewing Theater", the price of the first floor is 200 beads per person, the second floor, 1,000 beads per person, and one room is limited to 10 people, and the third floor, 10,000 beads per room, and the admission fee is free. Finally, there is the fourth floor, where I heard that all fees are free and there is a priority auction.
Also, if you don't buy a slave, you'll get 1/5 of the cost of your seat back. On the other hand, the fee for buying a slave is 1/5 of the price of the slave.
Not long after the dragon phoenix sat down, the second slave auction began, and the loud bell rang through half of the "Jade City". The slaves were carried up to the round platform in turn, and a tightly sealed iron cage was carried up later.
Twenty strong men wore only a sackcloth to cover the important parts, so that their well-proportioned muscles were perfectly displayed. Eight women with beautiful faces were completely exposed. The petite body trembled under the scrutinizing gaze, and the eyes full of tears filled with shame and evasion, but they did not dare to shed it, which was even more tempting to look at it. Before the price was called, there were already quite a few people estimating.
The "Golden Thread Building" holds two slave auctions every month. The first auction of slaves was cheaper, and their labor or appearance was average. The slaves in the second scene are all excellent in all aspects, and of course the price is much more expensive. If you want to say that the slaves in this third scene, they are all 'boutique'.
Soon, only the iron cage was left on the stage, and everyone's curiosity was concentrated there.
"Landlord, what's in that iron cage, didn't the 'boutique' slave just take it out in the third scene?" was the voice that came from the second layer of the crowd.
"Don't be anxious, I'll leave the door open. The middle-aged man known as the landlord glanced at the man behind him.
After the iron cage removed the iron plates on five sides, the first thing that caught my eye was a fiery red hair, the dazzling luster on which the sunlight was refracted, and it flowed with the rhythm of breathing, uh, only the hairstyle was a little messy. And then there's a very delicate and lovely sleeping face. A black brocade robe was half-hidden, as if it was deliberately revealing its fair and moist skin.
"It's really superb!"
Listening to the comments of the people around him, the landlord was thinking about jingling in his heart, but was interrupted by a sneer: "Hmph! A half-beast is born very well, but unfortunately, it is always a lowly bloodline." ”
By prestige, it was the Lord in a room on the third floor. After hearing that, everyone took a closer look at the cage, yo, it's really a half-beast. If it weren't for the striking black on the tips of the ears, it would not be easy to find the fox ears that are red with the hair, covered with soft fluff, which is so cute that no one can't help but want to touch it.
"Ahem, this ...... Although he is a half-beast, he has the blood of the Red Flame Nine-Tailed Fox, and he cultivated in the early stage of the Dan. Of course, in order to make it obedient, its spiritual power is imprisoned by magic weapons. And look at this appearance, tsk, the fox clan is yin, it is the best furnace, everyone understands, hehe......" Speaking of this, the landlord laughed extremely obscenely, and even the "spectators" and the crowd on the first floor responded with a few lewd laughs, as for the people on the second and third floors, their faces were full of contempt: low-level untouchables, vulgar. In fact, what he thinks in his heart, who knows.
Xu was embarrassed, and the landlord omitted the original lines, and directly announced: "The price starts at 5,000 spirit beads, and the price increase shall not be less than 200 spirit beads each time. ”
"Half-beast!" said Long Huang thoughtfully, holding his chin, and Fan Mo responded with a smile that seemed to know everything.
Half-beasts are the product of a combination of orcs and humans, and they only exist between orcs and humans. The demons are a very proud and perfectionist race, they will never allow the demon bloodline to be impure (uh, not excluding individual weirdos, even if there are, it is called a half-demon), and the combination of the sea clan and other races will not have offspring.
Because humans have discrimination against the beasts, and the beasts look down on humans, and even dislike and hate them, they have caused both sides of the half-beasts to be bad. Like those half-beasts who have a high purity of the beast bloodline and can completely beast the body, it is okay, and they can barely be recognized by the beast clan. And like the kind of beast bloodline is too low, it can't be completely beasted, and it is the appearance of a human, but a certain part of the body is the characteristic of the beast race, this kind of half-human and half-beast existence is the lowest. Therefore, not only are they not recognized by the beasts, but they are also discriminated against, bullied, and even enslaved by humans.
