Chapter 213: Selling

The bearded man's movements stiffened for a few seconds, followed by an exaggerated laugh, and when the laughter subsided, he slowly said, "Haha, this guest is really good at laughing." I've already said that I didn't bring live goods with me on this trip, so you just want to buy a slave girl, and there is also my family's pack team nearby, so I may be able to help you arrange it. But you're going to buy the wolf lord's daughter, it's really... How unreasonable!"

The tone changed suddenly, from a laughing breath to a gossamer instantly became heavy and intense, and the members of the pack team behind him drew their weapons one after another, although the bow had not yet been opened, it was only a matter of a moment to bend the bow and arrow with the ability of a grassland archer. The atmosphere has become tense. But this is not a desperate situation, as long as Lothar says that he is joking at this time, and the beard may not just tear his face and really start with the two of them if he can't find out the details. The question is, will the Count do this. If they let the pack caravan go here, they would definitely be on guard, not to mention, they had just mentioned the news of the other Selangoran caravans.

"Is that reasonable?" said the Count's face sank, and Atta behind him had put his hand on the hilt of Frakrag's sword, "I didn't expect you to say such a thing." The wolf lord took his daughter captive soon after his ascension, and you still have the face to say that I am not justified. Why don't you ask yourself, what's the justification for what you're doing?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Do you think we have kidnapped the wolf master's daughter? This is ridiculous! I, Xuelan, have a close relationship with the wolf master, and I am like the loss of my eldest brother about the death of the wolf master, so how could I kidnap his daughter? You strangers, you don't know where the rumors and legends come from if you don't know anything about the things on the grassland, I advise you to think about it carefully, don't be used as a gunman and don't know it!" Thinking about it carefully, it was the white wolf who asked Lothar and them to go to the West Market to find someone to help, so it is likely that the white wolf had already explained to the mother and son, and deliberately led them here.

The premise is that the white wolf fight, who has been with the group since last night, has already thought of this series of strategies from that time, the purpose of which is to cause conflicts between the team and the pack team. It's not impossible, and Lothar believes that the same thing can be done by Cheese and Marcus. Since someone can do it, it would be a bit of a mischief to think that Ensaild can't do it. Prudence and humility were the guidelines followed by the knights, and the Count had no intention of underestimating anyone. So he put the mother and son through a little test before he could find the horses to catch up.

"I really don't know much about things on the grassland. But there are some rules on the prairie, I still understand. For example, a slave's child will still be a slave, just like a cow gives birth to a calf. Moreover, as long as the mother is a slave, no noble blood will be born from the slave's belly, regardless of the father of the child. Xue Lan once gave the wolf owner some female slaves, and the wolf owner was merciful and did not treat them as livestock, but gave them the status of people. But Xue Lan has never paid tribute to the wolf lord, so of course you won't care about his decision. So in your eyes, those women are still slaves, and so are their children. ”

Slavery, as it sounds, actually refers to different realities in different contexts. The Grey Lion also had slaves, but the commoners of the Grey Lion were not eligible to keep slaves, and all the slaves belonged to the king or the great lord, and their task was to be responsible for the infrastructure construction in the territory. Most of the slaves were criminals, who were temporarily deprived of their civilian status and served as slaves until they were able to regain their original status at the end of their sentences. During their time as slaves, they were still provided with adequate food and medical care, except for the unpaid incident.

Doesn't that scary sound like that, does it? It seems that slaves are not as unbearable as they think, and their lives seem acceptable. But that was premised, and in an agrarian society like the Grey Lion, slaves were an important labor force, and they needed to be taken care of, because the population could not increase suddenly, and every bit of power was the result of the accumulation of time. This is not the case with nomadic societies such as the steppes. In particular, most of the steppe tribes did not have any surplus food to raise slaves in captivity, and slaughter was their general attitude towards their enemies. In such an environment, the treatment of slaves could not be good, and the status was even more conceivable.

The bearded man tilted his head, knowing the customs of the steppe about slaves, which was not surprising. It was strange to know that Xue Lan had given to the wolf lord women, and these women were still slaves. There are definitely not many people who know about this matter, and even the children of the wolf lord, because the wolf lord's wives and concubines are very related, may not know the secrets. The person who can know these things must be the person who pays special attention to Xuelan, and such a person should have one less if there is one less. It's just that before that, he still hopes to get more information, "Where did you hear about these things?"

"You don't need to hear it from anywhere, this series of news, after taking it apart, is not a secret. It's not a secret how slaves are treated on the grassland, and the relationship between Xuelan and the wolf owner is not a secret. The only thing that needs to be inquired about is Nuisa's origins. But since you dare to tie her up in the market, you should know that we are the ones who have traveled with her, and it is not surprising that she has said something to us during the journey. "Words, half-truths. Lothar's account could not be false, for he had indeed heard the news separately, though from the same person. And it is indeed him who connects it, although it has been hinted at by others. It didn't matter, because the Count's words weren't meant to prove how clever he was, he just didn't want to implicate anyone else.

"It's not strange, it's not strange. Haha, well, the only thing that makes me wonder now is, how are you still alive? "The bowstring is out of hand, and the arrow is like a locust, for these steppe people who are proficient in riding and archery, this target that stands still at this distance can be shot without aiming at all. There was no reason for them to miss, and no one could save the two men.

There are too many things that people can't do. There are too few things that don't work. "Whew!" the wind whistled from behind them like an invisible giant that suddenly exhaled and carried the dust majestically. Those galloping arrows were blown by this strong wind, and most of the power that could penetrate the iron armor was immediately removed, and the accurate heads were even more scattered and miserable. Lothar Shi Ran pulled out his battle axe, swung it twice at random, and pushed away a few arrows that had been lucky enough to fly in front of him, making them make a few unwilling crisp sounds.

"Ahh At the head of the soldiers was a young-looking, green-eyed man, with a clothed black cat lying on his shoulder.

"We seem to have just arrived. But Wu Qi's hand, even I have seen it for the first time. Uvel turned to look at the two of them and grinned.
