"That's Uncle Kedo. The next day, after leaving Diana in the restaurant, and after Donner instructed the guards to take care of her, Duck led him to a street near the city wall in the southeast business district.

"What kind of place is this?" The street was next to the city wall, and on both sides were a number of straw huts, which were filled with people in ragged clothes.

Yes, heaps!

Adults, the elderly, men, women, children, and even babies in their arms are all huddled in grass huts, exuding an unbearable smell.

Donner and his party walked by, and they all looked at them with longing eyes.

"It's a slave market. Duck replied casually, as if the slave market was a very common thing.

Looking at this purgatory-like scene on earth, Donner felt a chill in his heart.

Even a slum boy like Duck felt so normal about the slave market that coming out of his mouth was no different from coming to the wet market.

These are all living people!

"By the way, Lord Donner, do you need slaves?" Duck then asked, "The slaves here are very cheap, although they have no skills, but they are still very good for summoning, and many foreign merchants like to come here to find some strong slaves to go back." ”

Donner clenched his fists, his fingers white from overexertion, and his thorn nails pierced into the flesh of his palm, causing him to feel pain.

"No!" Donner's voice was a little cold.

"Oh! that ......," Duck was about to say something, and then it occurred to him that Donner also seemed to have a slave mark on his face.

Could it be that this adult was also a slave before?

Dark's face flushed with embarrassment, and he was a little overwhelmed as he followed, worrying that he had inadvertently offended Master Donner just now.

Duck cautiously looked at Donner's side face, and was slightly relieved to see that Donner was not angry with him.

This can't be blamed on Duck, and the reason why Donner is unhappy is not that Duck proposes to buy slaves.

In fact, no matter who is with Donner, it seems that they will subconsciously forget the scar on his face.

Of course, the same is true of Dark, for it seemed to him that the man in front of him, who had saved him, gifted him with money, and finally hired him, always had a powerful momentum that could always make people forget the mark of slavery on his face unconsciously.

Because anyone would feel that that smile, that gentleness, that confidence, that calmness, would not appear on a slave's face at all.

So much so that Jason and Yuri, who have the most temperament, as Donner's subordinates, are easily taken for granted by outsiders.

Duck didn't dare to say anything more, and walked towards Uncle Cordo with Donner on his head.

"Is this Uncle Cordo a slave owner?" asked Donner suddenly.

"Uh!" Darker was stunned for a moment and replied, "This ...... No, Uncle Ke Duo was just a servant of the rich man, and he was arranged to take care of some business here. ”

"That'...... What about the rich man, does he specialize in the slave trade?" asked Donner casually.

Duck shook his head and said, "No, I heard that the rich man has a lot of business, and the slave trade is just one of them. ”

Donner nodded slightly, and the group came to the grass hut where Ke Duo was.

"Hey, sir, do you need slaves?" asked Kodo as he saw Donner and his party approaching, hunched over and with a humble smile.

"You see, our slaves here are healthy, strong, and cheap. Cordo kicked the crouching slave with his foot.

"Sir, buy me. The slave was kicked by Keduo, his eyes lit up, he knelt on the ground, and shouted: "My lord, I have great strength, I can do a lot of things, and I only eat very little food, please, buy me." ”

"My lord, buy me, and so do I. Then the surrounding slaves also crowded in this direction, shouting loudly.

Ke Duo raised his whip and whipped it: "Shut up and be quiet." ”

Then, with a smile, he said to Donner, "Your Excellency, these lowly slaves have no intention of offending, please forgive me. ”

Donner and Jason didn't say anything, motioning for Darker to explain what he meant.

Darker stepped forward, bowed to Kodo, and said, "Master Kodo, do you remember me? ”

Ke Duo glanced at Dark, and was about to say something, but after his eyes turned around Donner and Dark, he pretended not to know: "I ...... I don't know you, are you?"

Darker was confused, and glanced back at Donner, for fear that Donner would think that he had lied to him, and said a little anxiously: "Master Keduo, I am the ...... That Duck...... It's ......"

Cordo denied knowing him, leaving Duck at a loss for what to say.

Because he was afraid, afraid that Donner would think he was useless and fire him.

Donner saw the clue on the side, and knew that Ke Duo was pretending to be stupid, as for what reason he pretended not to know Dake, he didn't know, so he directly explained the intention: "Your name is Ke Duo." ”

"Yes!" said Kodo humbly.

"Duck told me, you have a store for sale, don't you?"

Ke Duo was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Yes, my lord, do you want to buy a store?"

"Hmm!"

"Yes, yes!" Ke Duo said with a smile on his face, "I don't know what kind of shop adults need." ”

"Can you show me there?" asked Donner.

"Yes, yes. Ke Duo smiled in his heart, although the few adults in front of him did not come to buy slaves, but they could sell some of the shops in their hands, and they could also earn back silver coins and get the master's appreciation.

Donner said expressionlessly, "Let's go!"

"Okay!" Ke Duo pulled a subordinate and commanded a few words, and then made a gesture of please: "My lord, please here." ”

Donner glanced at the slaves in the hut and asked, "Just one person to guard it, aren't you afraid that these slaves will run away?"

Ke Duo gave Donner a strange look, and said, "The master said that he laughed, where can these slaves escape? Moreover, even if they escape, what can they do, they will have something to eat here, and if they escape, the whole family will starve to death." ”

Donner's heart was so sad that he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Ke Duo continued: "These are basically the victims of the disaster who fled from the Northland, dragging their families all the way, they were bought by the benevolent rich lord, and now the only way out is to look forward to being bought by other lords, so that they can have a chance to live." ”

"As for fleeing?" said Ke Duo with a sigh, "I guess the old man has seen those refugees at the city gate." Some of these are unwilling to sign a slave contract, and some are willing to sign a slave contract, and none of them are wanted by the master. ”

"Hey, anyway, the way of this world......" Ke Duo shook his head.

"By the way, you actually know Duck!" Donner asked suddenly.

"I know this kid, I used to be friends with his father!" replied casually, and then his face was extremely embarrassed.

"Then why don't you think you don't know him?" asked Donner.

"I thought Duck was in some trouble, so I'm bringing you to me. Ke Duo replied honestly, "I am just a servant, both old and young, and they all suffer hard, and they dare not cause trouble." ”

Downer was silent, and Darker was silent.

At this time, Ke Duo turned back to Duck and said, "Duck, where is your father, is he better?"

"Dead!" Darker said flatly.

"Dead?" said Ke Duo, "It's better to be dead!"
