Slave trade!
This thing has a long history on the earth, not to mention the famous black wood trade (black slave trade) in history textbooks, the United States, Britain, Russia, France, the Celestial Empire and other big hooligans basically have that "glorious" and "long" history of using slaves - this situation even when Rhodes claimed to be a civilized world before he crossed over, although the slave trade on the surface was explicitly banned, but in secret, there were still many things similar to the slave trade that sold dog meat on the head of a sheep!
As for this world of magic and swords, the slave trade is still legal!
There are many people who have become slaves in various human countries due to wars, debts and other reasons, but in the Scarlet Canyon, a place close to the Orc Empire, in addition to killing the Orc Empire, the matter of capturing orcs as slaves has also been an endless stream of business since the beginning of the Dawn Calendar!
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of garrisons in a place like Scarlet Canyon, and every year and even a large-scale battle is held from time to time, and the various resources and manpower required cannot even be made up by a mountain of gold.
Under various factors, behind the unusually bloody name of the Scarlet Canyon, the thousand-year-long slave trade was handled by the major nobles, royal families, etc. in an unusually low-key manner - unless this kind of thing is said to be stupid, no one with a normal IQ will hype this kind of thing!
Rhodes was similar, and it wasn't until after the gods game space was opened that some things about the orc slave trade were discovered in the intelligence of the Scarlet Canyon. And the real detailed understanding is that after Rhodes entered the Sail Kingdom and the Scarlet Canyon, he made a decision on the orc slave trade through the Guò Gods Game Space!
Of course, Rod didn't have any idle egg pain and was ready to do something like emancipating slaves in this world, so after sighing, Rode, who had already thrown the festival out of the clouds, continued to step forward and prepare to see the excitement.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On a street large enough to accommodate ten carriages in Ortas, a convoy was moving forward amid the watchful eyes of the crowd and whispered discussions.
Hundreds of fierce beast hunters on war horses marched around a dozen caravans full of things!
Hundreds of green-skinned, one-meter-eight to two-meter-tall green-skinned orcs were pulled behind the caravan by chains and ropes, and the sound of whips, screams, and reprimands that sounded from time to time in the ranks was something that made people see it with their own eyes, and fully understood how bloody the term slave really was!
Because on the slaves who are said to be pig orcs (also known as green-skinned orcs), the scars left by the leather whip can be clearly seen. Even if you have better eyesight, you can clearly see a few bloody whip marks!
However, most people's attention only rested for a moment on the green-skinned pig-headed orcs who could only be sold to other human kingdoms as gladiators or lifelong coolies, and then they focused their attention on the dozen or so caravans that were loaded with orc slaves who were really worth a lot of money!
Looking at the orc slaves who occasionally appeared through the cracks in the iron cages covered by black cloth on the caravan, many of the people watching on the street began to marvel or whisper discussions.
"Tsk, look! There are at least a dozen orc slaves, and they all look like slave girls."
"The orc slave girl of the rabbit clan? It depends on the situation and the quality is not bad!"
"Come on, can you afford it? An orc female slave is at least a hundred gold coins!"
"Cut, I'll see if it's okay?"
Looking at the situation of orc female slaves exposed from time to time in the iron cage, the lively people on the street began to discuss, even those soldiers of various human legions, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with robbing orcs as slaves
"Sure enough, it's a cold and realistic other world, human nature" Looking at the surrounding crowd either discussing enthusiastically or watching from the sidelines, Rode, who was also watching the excitement, could only mutter in his heart.
In the other world, the human countries and the slaves who belong to the human identity are also unceremonious, let alone the words of the alien slaves. The reason why the Scarlet Canyon has always become a meat grinder between humans and the orc empire is that in addition to the fact that both sides only have this opening for large-scale attacks, the matter of orc slaves is also one of the secondary reasons.
Except for a few races such as pigs, centaurs, and snake people, which are not suitable for human aesthetics, orcs such as rabbits, deer, and fox tribes, and orc warriors such as wolf tribes, lion tribes, and tiger tribes are unusually optimistic about the market in human countries, and they belong to the kind of good commodities that do not worry about sales!
According to the intelligence of the game space of the gods and what Rhodes just saw along the way, there are also a lot of orc slaves in various cities in the Scarlet Canyon, basically captured from the orc wilderness outside the Scarlet Canyon, and then sold in the cities of the Scarlet Canyon!
As for why the garrison of the Scarlet Canyon didn't stop this?
Not to mention that this is a legitimate business practice, and this is an important income in the Scarlet Canyon for thousands of years, in addition, when the human legion in the Scarlet Canyon is carrying out wilderness clearing operations, those orcs captured by the legion are also directly sold as slaves, and the funds obtained are used to improve the life of their own legions!
In this case, no one thinks there is anything wrong with capturing orcs as slaves, and even those orc hunters and beast hunting teams go deep into the orc wilderness outside the Scarlet Canyon to capture orc slaves in exchange for gold coins and military merits!
In addition to the many nobles of the five northern countries who were willing to buy the orc slaves that were captured, they were even exported to the Human Eastern Dragon Empire, the Shenghui Empire, the Northwest Autonomous Alliance, and the Southern Duchy Alliance. Human greed has even allowed this profitable business to last for thousands of years, and it has not been interrupted since the dawn of time.
In this regard, Rhodes has no other thoughts than sighing at human nature, after all, he is not the father and mother of those orcs, and he can't do such a great thing as letting the humans of this world complete the emancipation of slaves
"Huh? It's a cat man???
As Rhodes watched the cart carrying more than thirty orc female slaves pass in front of him, and was about to turn around to go somewhere else, he was suddenly attracted by a thin figure on the last carriage.
The figure in the cage looked the size of a human child of seven or eight years old at most curled up in a ball, and looked a little dirty, but the rather conspicuous cat ears and tail made it easy to identify its race.
- The Cats, a race of the Orc Empire known for producing assassins and scouts!
Rhodes didn't do anything, but stood quietly on the side of the street, watching the Red Eagle Regiment's beast hunting team out of his sight with an interested gaze, and then casually led the people out of place. And the direction of Rhodes is also very clear, it is the direction in which the convoy disappeared!
"Zero, can you confirm that?"
Rod made sure in his mind as he walked.
"That's right! I'm sure that the kitten man has a faint shadow attribute energy fluctuation on his body!"
Listening to his boss's question, Zero answered his boss's guess very seriously.
The reason why the little kitten, who didn't seem to recognize men and women at all, attracted Rod's attention was entirely because Rod felt a faint shadow fluctuation from the other party that seemed to be an illusion. And Rod, who was interested, confirmed that the strange feeling he just felt was not an illusion after zero confirmation!
"Legend has it that each race of orcs has its own innate abilities, it doesn't seem to be bragging" After getting the confirmed news from Zero, Rod's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he sighed in his heart.
Innate ability is actually a fairly broad concept, including innate spells, extraordinary physique and strength, supernormal mental power, and elemental intimacy. In terms of strict requirements, the abilities that basically exceed the average human level in this world can be counted as innate abilities - of course, how many useful innate abilities are two different things!
However, it is better to talk about humans, Warcraft and the like, at least Rhodes has relevant samples and research in the game space of the gods, and about the natural ability of orcs, Rhodes is the first time to feel from that little kitten, it seems that he is born with shadow energy and its closeness, no wonder Rhodes is very interested in it - this is the first time he really feels the clear innate ability of orcs!
What made Rhodes particularly concerned was that compared to those rabbit orc female slaves who barely reached the adult male body of ordinary humans, the little kitten who was also locked in an iron cage actually had the strength of at least the lower rank of gray iron when he was less than ten years old? This apparently abnormal situation made Rhodes' interest in him even greater.
After all, the cat people are not one of the well-known strong fighting races among the orcs, and this underage kitten may not have an ordinary identity and inheritance, which is worth a good study by Rhodes.
"Just go and see if you can buy it, and by the way, let the gods game space study it"
That's what Rhodes really thinks in his head right now.
After all, since the kitten clan was caught in the Scarlet Canyon, it was normal to be used as a slave trader, and Rhodes felt that it was normal for him to run and ask for the price and take a closer look.
As for what happens after you buy it, let's talk about it when I get it back, so let's go and see it now!
With this thought in mind, Rhodes began to lead the people in the direction in which the convoy had left.
