CHAPTER XXIV

This is the slave camp of Capua, the soldiers of the nearby Roman legions will bring all the slaves caught here to sell, these slaves come from a variety of sources, including Thracians, Gauls, Carthaginians, Greeks, Spartans, Thebans, etc., all the cities or countries invaded by Rome will produce a large number of slaves, and the slave trade supports the luxurious life of the Roman aristocracy.

The slave camp is very large, not much smaller than the gladiatorial arena, there are many ragged slaves in it, many local or distant merchants come in and out of the place to choose, the best-selling slaves here are strong warriors, they can be trained to be gladiators or serve as guards, a healthy strong slave is worth about ten dinars, the next class is a beautiful female slave, the price ranges from five to eight dinars, the cheapest slaves are even given away with other slaves, Slaves here were sent to the mines or put to death if they were not purchased for a month.

"These three slave girls have a total of ten dinars, all of them are Greeks who are in good health and have no diseases, and it is very suitable to buy them back as maids!" When Lin Li entered the slave camp, he was marketed to him by merchants, who generally had a relationship with the treasurer, who would pay them for their labor with a small number of slaves.

"Really Greeks? Don't lie to me with the Gauls, strip them all naked, I want to see if they are healthy or not! Before Lin Li could speak, an exotic merchant with a foreign accent who covered his mouth with a white cloth pointed to the three female slaves and said. Ancient Greece was a powerful empire like Rome, and relatively speaking, Gauls, Thracians, and even Spartans were not on the table, so the Greeks were the most expensive among the female slaves.

Listening to the words of the exotic merchant, the slave trader waved his hand, and the two strong servants tore the clothes of the slave girls up and down, and stripped them naked in a blink of an eye, and the three slave girls stood without the slightest sense of resistance or shame, as if this body no longer belonged to them, this is the slave, and only now did Lin Li deeply understand the meaning of the word 'slave'.

"I'll take them away for eight dinars!" The three slave girls were fairly white and did not look like any skin diseases, the exotic merchant nodded with satisfaction, and finally the deal was closed for eight dinars, and then the exotic merchant threw a special marked iron chisel into the brazier next to him, and brought the iron chisel to burn red and put a unique brand on the slave. It wasn't until the red-hot iron fell on him that the three female slaves screamed.

In Rome, every slave was branded, and they were killed by Roman soldiers as soon as it was found that the person with the brand was not messing around with their master.

Lin Li searched around the slave camp but didn't find Sula, Sura was taken to the slave camp three days ago, beautiful slave girls like him don't often exist, I'm afraid they will be bought soon when they appear, and it is generally impossible to wait for three days and no one cares.

'Ding' a gold dinar made a beautiful note rolling in the air, the guard at the gate of the slave camp quickly reached out and grabbed him quickly without waiting for the dinar to fall, and quickly put it into his money bag, and then he raised his head and looked at Lin Li who threw out the dinar with a trace of greed in his eyes, and saw Lin Li The guard thought about it, and suddenly a little regret crossed his eyes.

"Venerable Gente, what do you command?" The guard asked after saluting Lin Li respectfully.

"Three days ago, a beautiful brown-haired slave girl was brought here by the heavy cavalry, I wonder who took her away?" Heavy cavalry were uncommon, and brown-haired beautiful slave girls were not common, and the two conditions were put together to ensure that the guards remembered.

"The slave girl brought by the heavy armored cavalry is very beautiful with brown hair!" The guard thought about it, hesitated for a while, and seemed to want to rub it off and ask Lin Li to reward him with two dinars, but his eyes stopped on Lin Li's black hair, and he said quickly: "The villain doesn't know who bought her, but someone took her over there last night!" ”…,

After asking the guard to describe Sula's characteristics and making sure that he had not been deceived, Lin Li walked in the direction pointed by the guard. When Lin Li left, another guard raised his right hand and pulled it horizontally in front of his neck, and made a gesture of wiping his neck to the guard here, and the guard shook his head regretfully.

"Black hair, black eyes, he's the same stranger who survived yesterday's death fight, we can't afford to mess with him!" The guard here shook his head regretfully. With such a generous guest, the guards don't mind slaughtering people as fat sheep when they are usually alone, but unfortunately the guards also know very well who they can provoke and who they can't mess with, and they haven't opened their eyes to provoke Lin Li.

This time it's troublesome, Sula doesn't know where Lu Dao was brought, Kapuya said that it is not big, it is not small, and it is difficult to find someone with Lin Li alone.

"According to the original plot, Sulla and Spartacus were bought by an Italian after they were separated, and then fell into the hands of Batista, who killed Sulla in order to control Spartacus, so is the plot now developing according to the inherent development Sulla is in the hands of that Italian merchant?" Lin Li said to himself that he felt a little weak, in the past, in the dark ages, as long as he could survive, he didn't have to think about anything else, but in the infinite world realm, in order to complete the task of the main god, this is not very good.

While thinking like this, Lin Li suddenly saw a limping 'acquaintance', Batista's half-financial butler Azul, who was also a gladiator and was later framed by Kress in a gladiator match with Kress, resulting in a crippled right foot. Originally, the fate of this crippled gladiator was very miserable, either he was executed or thrown into a dark mine, but Azul showed a very high talent for financial handling at this time, which won the trust of Batista, most of Batista's finances were handled by Azul, and the slaves in the gladiator school would go through Azul if they wanted to buy anything, but Azul was also one of the least trusted by the gladiators.

In the plot of Spartacus Blood and Sand Plains, Azul later killed the Carthaginian beast Barka because he could not repay a large amount of debt, and later died in the Spartacus revolt because he always followed Batista to stop the slaves from rebelling. Azul is the only slave in the gladiator school who has free access to the gladiator school, and even the trainer Docot doesn't have this right, what is this guy doing here? Lin Li's heart moved, and he knew that this guy's appearance would definitely not be without a purpose.
