"One hundred and sixty thousand!" the second floor immediately called for a price after hearing that the guild leader had a personal gift.

"Add a thousand. I said.

"One hundred and sixty-one thousand. "I had to ask for a strong price. After calling me, he asked me, "He should have any energy left, right?"

"Yes, he can't have it, but he must be the same as me, he must have scanned that crossbow in some way, he must have come to the same conclusion as me, if it weren't for the guild leader's elven arm crossbow quiver, he wouldn't have asked for it anymore, and now it should be his bottom line!"

My judgment was accurate again, and his voice came again: "Sean, what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my friend likes this crossbow very much, and he wants it, so you can't ask for it!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" This one has a characteristic, he recognizes who is against him, then he will not find the opponent's family or friends, so I can say that there is no fear, he will only attack me, and will not be angry with Zeng Qiang.

"Although I'm Martin now, if you want to trouble me, I mind doing Sean again, I have at least five hundred ways to make you disappear, do you want to try the same?" I turned my head and looked at the window coldly, I knew he was looking at me.

"You're ruthless! I remember!" he disappeared as if he had never appeared, and the auctioneer had been waiting for another bid on the second floor, but there was no sound.

A member of the auction house appeared at the entrance of the venue, and he shook his head at the auctioneer on the stage, and the auctioneer began to offer: "One hundred and sixty-one thousand, once! Is there anything higher than that?" The auctioneer was faithfully doing his duty, but he knew that there was no one to bid, and that person had disappeared from the room.

"One hundred and sixty-one thousand, twice!"

"One hundred and sixty-one thousand, three times!" As the auction hammer fell, the auction ended, except for those who had bought the items in the second half, and the others left one after another.

We waited all day for the auctioneer to send me something, Zeng Qiang was very excited, he hadn't yet reacted from the joy of getting the crossbow, he didn't know that he had just walked away from the ghost gate.

When the white bone crossbow was handed over to Zeng Qiang, he stroked the crossbow body carefully, as if caressing the body of a lover, I took the crossbow from his hand, and also touched the crossbow body by an inch, and then handed it to him, and then said: "My master said that there are no more than five of this kind of white bone crossbows in existence, and each one has the same attributes, but it requires the user to open up the potential of the crossbow himself, and the previous generation Martin did not give full play to the maximum energy of this crossbow." ”

Zeng Qiang took the crossbow, and this time he felt completely different, and he asked in surprise: "What did you do to it, why do I feel that it is stronger?"

"Yes, it's stronger, now it can shoot forty times in a row, forty times is used up, and it only takes twelve prayer hours to replenish the mana, but it's a pity that you are not a magician, otherwise the time to replenish the mana is even shorter!" I said.

As I spoke, I took out my crossbow, the glow of blue ** law has explained everything, Zeng Qiang looked at the crossbow in his hand, and then looked at mine, the two crossbows are exactly the same, but my magic power fluctuates greater, and it has reached a place where ordinary people can feel it.

"Actually, if this crossbow is in the hands of a magician, he can play a greater role!" I said to Zeng Qiang.

At this time, a member of the Mercenary Guild came to Zeng Qiang's side and whispered a few words to him, Zeng Qiang smiled apologetically at me and said, "I need the sixty-one thousand silver coins you lent me." ”

"Okay. "I handed over my flash gold card to the staff, and the staff immediately took out a mercenary guild version of the loan agreement, I wrote the amount and loan period and repayment method at the door, and then signed the name with Zeng Qiang separately, even if this IOU has taken effect, this is signed by the mercenary guild as a Chinese person, if one party violates, then the other party will not be able to advance for five years, and no matter how many tasks are completed in five years, they will not be able to get a single point, which means that the mercenary group will be demoted, and the mercenaries of this mercenary group will also be affected, they can only get half of the points in these five years。 Therefore, once this agreement is signed, there are really not many mercenary groups willing to break it.

The staff of the guild divided the agreement into three parts, two copies were given to me and Zeng Qiang, and the other part they put away, and then handed over the guild leader's personal gift to Zeng Qiang.

The guild had finished all this work before he said to me, "Mr. Martin, if you're not busy right now, please make sure to go to the guild president's office, someone wants to see you!"

I nodded and said, "Okay, please lead the way." "Because I saw that he didn't mean to leave, that means, I said polite words, I don't care if you are busy or not, I have to go with me, anyway, I'm fine, it's okay to go and see.

I said goodbye to Zeng Qiang: "Head Zeng, I'll go to the president's side first, what we have agreed on, I'll sign it tomorrow when I register with the mercenary group, how about nine o'clock?"

"Okay, head Ma go slowly, I'll wait for you in the guild hall at nine o'clock tomorrow!" Zeng Qiang has already commensurate me with the head of the group, which means that he will take care of things in this matter and will not make it difficult for me.

I led Zhang Hanwen and followed the staff from the backstage of the auction hall into the interior of the Mercenary Guild, and turned a few corners to the guild leader's office, he pushed open the office door and invited me in, but blocked Zhang Hanwen out.

I walked into the office alone, and there were three people there, one was the old man who had registered me during the test that day, and two men, one and one woman, the man was about the same age as the old man, and the woman was only about thirty years old, rich and mature, and very good at catching men's eyes, but unfortunately, not including me, I was a dead man, and at most I had a little appreciation.

The old man came over and introduced the other two people to me: "Mr. Martin, ah, no, it should be called Master Martin, this is the president of the Mercenary Guild, with the same surname as you, Ma Mingyuan! This lady is the president of the Yecheng branch of the Red Wing Auction House, Ms. Wu Lishan!"

"Hello two, I don't know what is the matter with me coming?" I bowed slightly to the two of them, and saluted.

"Head Martin, please take a seat, I am looking for you today, it is this Ms. Wu of the Red Wing Auction House who is looking for you. The president made a gesture to me and said as he sat down on the couch.

I looked at Wu Lishan from the Red Wing Auction House, she sat down across from me generously, and said, "Captain Martin, I know that you just bought a mercenary group today, and our auction house will hold an auction in three months, and there will be no slave mercenaries to conduct the auction at that time, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Slave mercenary?" I whispered, but Wu Lishan heard me.

"Yes, as a new mercenary group, it is most suitable to use slave mercenaries, it costs less, and you can get a large number of capable people, which is much better than those who eat in the guild hall and wait for death. Wu Lishan's words really moved me, but how did these people become slaves?

So, naturally, I asked, "Where did these people come from? They couldn't have been born slaves, could they?"

"Yes. Wu Lijing didn't plan to hide anything at all, but she didn't need to hide it.

I don't know when it started, but I know that at that time, the border between orcs and humans was less than ten kilometers outside the north of Yecheng, and at that time, the orcs really attacked and disturbed from time to time, and all the food was naturally snatched away.

Yecheng is not bad because of the city wall, but the large and small villages outside the city have not been robbed or slaughtered. If it weren't for the coincidence, there wasn't such a rich man who happened to be captured by the orcs, and the orcs had just eaten enough to play this guy as a toy outside Yecheng City, and happened to be discovered by his family again, maybe this slave trade would not have been possible.

The family raised a lot of supplies, trembling out of the city to find the commander of the orcs, and proposed to the commander to redeem the people back, and the commander's brain circuit happened to have one more, actually agreed, and found a big business opportunity from here, in the subsequent looting, the people were left first, and the wind was released for humans to redeem, and those who no one ranoped were killed, these orcs found that the benefits were higher.

The orcs set up countless trade points outside several large cities on the border, and they detained human captives in these trade points, commonly known as human markets, every time the orcs raided on the human side, these cities were extremely hot, and slowly the orcs killed fewer and fewer people, more and more slaves, and even sometimes the losers of the war between the orc tribes would be taken here to sell.

This situation was not until the first two generations of King Beijing led the army to expel the orcs to the north for 300 kilometers, if it were not for the barren steppes and the Gobi in the north, the current border between the orcs and humans could not be 50 kilometers north of Yecheng, but should be 300 kilometers north.

However, the ruins of the human market outside Yecheng City have been preserved, and there were troops stationed there a few years ago, but the orcs have not committed crimes for many years, so the garrison point has been abandoned, but it seems that there are military personnel directly maintaining it.

Everyone in Yecheng knows this history, and after I asked that sentence, I searched in my memory and really found such a paragraph.

Wu Lishan continued: "Most of these people are mercenaries who entered the territory of the half-orcs when they went out on a mission, and were accidentally captured by the half-orcs, they all have a lot of experience, so the mercenary guild will negotiate with the half-orcs for half a year, and buy the captured mercenaries back, and in the next month, the mercenary guild will organize various mercenary groups to ransom people, and those mercenaries who do not have mercenary groups to redeem will be auctioned to mercenary groups in need." ”
