Chapter 6: Slave Square
Just when Luo Kun's smile was a little embarrassed, a child's voice came.
"My lord, do you need a guide?"
Ma Shen lowered his head and saw a neatly dressed and clean-looking little boy standing opposite, looking timidly at himself and the 20 soldiers behind him.
After thinking about it, Ma Shen smiled and took two steps forward and asked, "Are you familiar with this place?"
"Of course, my lord, I am familiar with every corner of Astapor. The little boy replied with some nervousness.
Yo, the tone was quite loud, Ma Shen took out a silver coin from his bosom and handed it to the little boy: "I hired you, I think we need a professional guide." ”
"Thank you, sir" The little boy took the silver coin excitedly, in the past, the guests who came here only gave a few copper plates at most, but I didn't expect this adult to be so generous, as long as the silver coin was handed over to the master, there was no need to work these days.
"You're welcome, take us to the slave market here. Ma Shen said softly to the little boy.
"Come with me, my lord," the little boy saluted Ma Shen respectfully as his master had taught them, and then turned and led Ma Shen and his party towards the slave square.
After walking for a while, the little boy thought for a while, and curiously turned to Ma Shen, who was a few heads taller than him, and asked, "My lord, is it your first time coming to Astapor?"
(Lord Hel: A professional guide must make the customer like them so that the customer can tip more money.) )
"It's my first time. Ma Shen pointed to himself, and then to Luo Kun next to him, "He is the second time, and he has come before you were born." ”
"Since this is your first time in Astapor, do you need me to tell you about the situation here?" the little boy automatically ignored the second half of Ma Shen's sentence.
(The good lord of Hel: A professional guide must identify who is the payer, who is the rich, and who is rich.) )
Anyway, it's okay to walk, and Ma Shen is happy to ask more about some news here: "You can tell me." ”
"Okay, my lord," the little boy cautiously took a few steps closer to Ma Shen, "Astapo is most famous for its three most famous locations, namely the Slave Square, the Punishment Square, and the Arena, and people who come to Astapor for the first time will go to see it. ”
"The Slave Square was an open market where slave owners took their customers to watch their slaves, and in the middle of the Slave Square there was a fountain made of red brick with a bronze statue of the Astapo Griffin, slightly smaller than the one on the pier. ”
"The Square of Punishment is located inside the main gate of Astapor, where rebellious slaves will be punished or executed. ”
"There's also the arena, which is a place where entertainment takes place, including girls dueling with bulls. ”
The boy's words made Ma Shen and the Harrenhal soldiers who followed him frown.
But unlike Ma Shen and his party, the little boy still said such a cruel thing, but the little boy still said it normally, maybe the whole world is like this in his eyes.
(Lord Hel: A professional guide must use his or her expertise to explain in detail what they want to hear.) )
Not noticing Ma Shen's expressions, the little boy continued: "Let the children covered with honey and other food duel with the bears, and the spectators will bet which child the bear will eat first, and then the gladiatorial arena will be named after the owner of the victorious slave that day." “
As he spoke, the little boy secretly took out a small note from his pocket and looked at it.
(The good lord of Hel: A professional guide must use his or her expertise to help guests solve some minor difficulties.) )
"By the way, there is one thing that you must pay attention to, my lord. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Ma Shen, who had an ugly expression, looking down.
"Please note that when you enter the Slave Square, there are often stewards in the Slave Square who deliberately 。。。。。 ”
"Mistreat the slaves they sold, and then let some customers who can't stand it buy them at a high price. Luo Kun, who had been to Astapor, interjected next to him, his expression also a little ugly.
Ma Shen nodded silently, soon I will purify this filthy city, I will formulate a new system, slavery is out.
After walking in a depressed mood for a while, the little boy led Ma Shen and his party to the slave square.
Seeing Ma Shen and his party, a group of slave owners immediately swarmed around, and those who could bring 20 guards must not let go.
"My lord, come and see where I am, we have a beautiful noble lady there. Ah.. Don't squeeze me. ”
"My lord, my lord, where is he a noble lady, he just dressed up the peasant girl who was abducted, and pretended to be a noble lady, and her body is full of earthy smell, come to me, I am the real noble lady there. ”
"What aristocratic lady, relying on the appearance of this adult, what aristocratic girl can't get, what an adult needs must be a girl who is obedient. ”
I saw that there was such a shortage of women, Ma Shen couldn't help but touch his nose, and with a wave of his hand, the Harrenhal guards behind him immediately stepped forward to squeeze these enthusiastic slave owners away.
"Good morning, everyone, I am new to the local area, hoping to buy some brave warriors, that is, the unsullied, I wonder which of you have them?" Ma Shen said lightly as he looked around at the many enthusiastic slave owners.
Hearing Ma Shen's words, these slave owners looked at each other, lost their enthusiasm, and one by one turned and silently dispersed, no one could steal the business of the good lord of Krazny, he was one of the masters of Astapor, with 8,000 unsullied slaves under his command, and many more unsullied ones in the training period.
In the end, only a fat man in a delicate silk coat was left: "My lord, come with me, and I will take you to meet the good lord of Krazny, who is the main business of the Unsullied." ”
"You are?"
"I'm the steward who helps the good lord of Krazny run slaves here, you can call me Gechu. ”
"Then bother you, Steward Gechu. Ma Shen nodded, this good lord of Krazny should be the slave master who coveted Daenerys and was burned to ashes by the dragon.
Slowly following the steward of Gechu through the slave square, Ma Shen saw a gnome squatting in a cage, a beautiful girl waiting to be sold, a savage Dothraki warrior, a weeping young woman, and a godless man with a sign around their necks: Eunuch.
"My lord, there are all kinds of slaves in our slave square, and you may want to visit here once you have purchased the Unsullied. In order to avoid snubbing Ma Shen, a big customer, the Geqiu steward who led the way, introduced Ma Shen with a smile on his face as he walked.
"Whoever runs a theater can buy a poor dwarf here, and a valiant warrior who needs war here, and a servant who lacks a servant can buy an obedient servant here. ”
"After the purchase, will they be obedient?"
"Rest assured, only trained slaves are sold, and all slave owners who sell slaves in slave squares are vetted by good masters. ”
