Although he had heard something worth remembering just now, Mien had always disliked interfering in other people's private affairs, and without knowing the specific content of the Saint's mission, because the mission clearly stated that he was not allowed to interfere in it, Mien could only treat it as if he had not heard it.

His face remained unchanged, and Mien said lightly, "Where did you get these slaves?"

Prisoners in exile after the defeat, or will the Black Hand Brotherhood have a special slave hunting team?

Although slavery was abolished long before the Solomonic dynasty, the decline of a thriving magical civilization was compounded by centuries-long turmoil throughout the world.

The regression of civilization has given this system, which existed only in the Dark Ages, a different posture and reappeared in the world.

This is especially true for those who claim to have inherited the glory of their ancestors in Solomon's time, although on the surface everyone likes to boast that they are nobles with noble blood, who value glory above all else, or inheritors who have been in business for hundreds of years.

But no one has ever stood up to stop this gray area.

It is even a race to be pursued.

But unlike the Dark Ages, scarcity is expensive.

Not vagabonds, prisoners of war were eligible to be used as slaves.

Even if they are only slaves, their status is even more refined than that of a down-and-out nobleman! It can even be said that it is a very expensive and rare high-end commodity!

or beautiful and handsome, or knows music and painting, and has excellent martial arts skills.

And there must not be any identity background.

Although the aristocracy has always been the ruler over the commoners.

But the lessons of history have taught any land-owning lord that it is often the lowly-looking, inconspicuous commoners who are the real strength to sustain a land.

People are needed to collect taxes, people are needed for conscription, people are needed for food...

The size of the land sometimes does not represent the strength of a lord, and in this era of ignorance, only population and food are the only criteria for evaluating the strength of a lord.

Not to mention that the lords will do such self-destructive things as hunting slaves in their own territory, once it is found out that a slave is a commoner under the rule of a certain lord, it will definitely cause a diplomatic disaster!

Even war!

This is not unheard of in history.

Meen's gaze fell on the three naked slaves, and he thought of the humanism that had begun to emerge in Solomon's time, and it was a pity that the fall of the dynasty and the war against foreign nations would nip it in the bud, so that to this day, even the ruling class itself does not know what their almost paranoid glory and persistence represent.

Marlon looked at Minn with a smile and asked the maid to leave the cubicle, before he said, "Every month, the auction prepares three of the best quality slaves for auction, but it is not easy to get these people, and it will take one to two years to teach them various skills..."

Deliberately avoiding Mien's question, Malone shrugged and smiled, "You know how discerning those nobles are. ”

Hearing Ma Long's side-kick answer, Mien didn't bother to ask any further.

I don't think it's a means to see the light.

It's just that at this time, Malone quietly leaned into Mien's ear and said mysteriously, "See that man and the woman with short hair?"

"They're not just slaves. ”

Meen raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Ma Long showed a slight smugness, "You may not know that the people who can participate in the Plantagenet auction are each of the wealthy lords who control a large territory in the surrounding area, and our people have investigated the interests of these nobles..."

To be honest, Ma Long's words made Mien really a little surprised, and smiled slightly, "I see." ”

Malone continued, "Unlike other places, it is now fashionable for the upper classes around Kulin to have a good slave, and depending on the person, they like to give these slaves nice names such as 'rose dancers.'" ”

Pausing slightly, "And I just made a deal with these people, exchanging five years for life freedom." ”

"That is to say, the best slave, his identity is not permanent, hehe, Marlon, I seem to appreciate you more and more. ”

Using these people as a source of intelligence, he also created a temporary slave status, and even made a lot of money through the limited-time high-quality slavery, thanks to Ma Long's imagination.

But I'm afraid no one would have thought that he was actually buying back the eyeliner of a Black Hand Brotherhood and the Black Cavalry.

Even those nobles didn't know about the existence of the Black Cavalry!

And Marlon doesn't have to worry about these slaves revealing this secret, they know what will happen if they betray!

With a smile on his face, Ma Long bowed his head slightly, "My lord praises it falsely, those nobles like to compare with these slaves, and I am just useless." ”

The two of them left the cubicle and casually chatted about some other topics.

It's just that when Meen mentions the size of the Black Hand Brotherhood today, Malone is very modest.

Because of the behemoth of the Church standing behind it, serving the Black Cavalry, the eyeline of the Black Hand Brotherhood is almost all over the former site of the Blue Mountain Kingdom, and even has many strongholds in the Principality Alliance and the Enomosen Kingdom.

In addition to ordinary slaves at the auction, each of the three carefully selected slaves will fetch a sky-high price of thousands of gold coins!

Many aristocrats even broke their heads for the amazingly short-haired woman!

But in the end, it was bought back by the lord who needed to be monitored in Marlon's plan.

Extravagantly!

When he photographed the short-haired woman, the sturdy nobleman even looked proud, looking at the other nobles around him like a general who had won a battle!

An auction slowly ended like a drama in Mine's eyes.

...

The next morning, when Mien was ready to leave for the north, Malone originally wanted to accompany him, but Reut was not there, and many matters needed to be dealt with, so he could only regret to stay.

And the two 'enforcers' arranged for Mien were also rejected by Mien.

This trip Mien didn't want to be too public, and it was more convenient to be alone.

Before leaving, riding on the horse, Mien thought of Telisa, who was very likely to be imprisoned by Marlon, and looked at Marlon standing next to him with serious eyes, extremely vague, and said to him, who already believed in the Holy Light, "Don't forget what the Holy Light has brought us, power will blind the eyes of mankind." ”

With a slight pause, his tone was serious, "This is my advice, Marlon." ”

Ma Long bowed his head slightly, "I will keep your teachings in mind." ”

Glancing deeply at Marlon, the black cloak swayed slightly, and Mien no longer hesitated, holding the reins and galloping. (To be continued.) )
