Chapter 50: Arthur Hill
The Hammer Equipment Shop, the Carter Shop, and the Alchemy Shop are in a straight line, and there are a lot of people coming and going, all wearing all kinds of masks, not only humans, but also people of other races, although there are relatively few people here.

Passing through the core shops of the three black markets, Roy follows Little Jack to the slave market.
Little Jack introduced: "This is the Gold Coast slave market, and it is also the largest slave market in the Dragonblood Kingdom, and the largest slave trader in the slave market is Arthur Hill, who has ten large ships to transport these slaves. ”
"That house over there is a slave trading center, Arthur Hill is usually in it, if the Buddha needs a large number of slaves, you can go to the trading center to find Arthur Hill, this guy hasn't received a big order for a long time. Little Jack said, gesturing to a house next to the slave market.
The slave market was like a stitched together stage, locked in iron cages or chained slaves, most of whom were orcs and humans, and only a few were elves, Roy said to little Jack.
Little Jack explained: "Who dares to touch those guys? And the elves advocate natural peace, and there are very few wars at all, the elven slaves you see are basically half-elves, these poor guys are abandoned by the elves, anyway, these nobles can't see the difference between elves and half-elves, and the slave market simply says that these elves are authentic elves." ”
There were men and women in these elves, and there were even children, and Roy couldn't help but ask, "How can there be such a small elf?"
Little Jack said with a nonchalant face: "Don't look at these elves who look very small, in fact, they are very old, maybe that little guy is older than me, but the elves have a longer lifespan." The lifespan of a half-elf is generally about two hundred years, and that guy looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he should actually be nearly thirty years old. ”
Vivien said that she was a half-elf, and she looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was actually in her thirties? Roy also asked Vivien, but Vivien almost didn't know anything about her past, as if there was something wrong with her memory.
There was a staff member next to each display stand, and these staff members enthusiastically introduced the guests, and each slave had a foot tag with the price of the slave written on the foot tag.
Roy looked at all these prices, and the half-elves were the most expensive, each of them costing five thousand gold la, and the cheapest slaves here cost hundreds of gold la, which was completely different from Roy's impression of cheap labor.
"Little Jack, are all the slaves here so expensive?"
Little Jack nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "Let's just say that, since Shakli Jin Ke Lai became the president of the Merchants' Federation, the price of these slaves has risen a notch, Sha Keli is a faithful believer in the Church of Wealth, generosity is the doctrine of the Church of Wealth, I really don't understand, a group of businessmen who only have interests in their eyes, would actually use generosity as a doctrine." ”
Xia Keli believed that it was necessary to ensure the normal needs of slaves, which greatly increased the cost of the slave market, and these slaves often starved to death in the past. ”
"In addition, the slaves on the display stand basically have unique abilities, and those staff members are responsible for introducing these slaves, and not all slaves can go to the display table. ”
Roy said with a little surprise, "You mean that besides the slaves here, there are other cheap slaves in the slave market?"
"Of course, this is the largest slave market in the Dragon's Blood Kingdom, and not everyone knows about those cheap slaves, that is, Little Jack, I know a little bit of news. Those slaves can't be traded openly, otherwise Xia Keli will be the first to object. ”
While Little Jack was showing off, a middle-aged man came over and said, "Yo, isn't this Little Jack?
When little Jack heard this voice, his body trembled, and he said, "Ah... Mr. Arthur, why are you here? This is my employer today, Mr. Buddha, and this is Mr. Arthur Hill, the owner of the slave market. Little Jack gave a brief introduction to the two.
Arthur looked at Roy, who was wearing the mask of Maitreya Buddha, and said in surprise: "Mr. Buddha is amazing, it was actually introduced by Lord Naraku, and the golden light on the mask?
Roy shook his head and said, "It's just fate, I have a lot of fate with Mr. Arthur, aren't we?"
"Fate?Yes, Buddha, I admire you!" Arthur Hill is a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure, dressed casually, looking quite low-key, and laughed happily when he heard Roy's words.
"What's the matter? Buddha wants to buy slaves? I'm all good here, do you want to introduce you myself?" Arthur Hill didn't look like a superior at all, he looked like an ordinary trader.
"No, I'll just come and have a look, I've always been interested in the slave market, and today I came to see that it really lives up to its name, it's amazing. It was not easy for Mr. Arthur to run such a large market. ”
"Haha, the Buddha has won the award, and I look forward to our opportunity to cooperate in the future. What the Buddha wants to buy in the black market, I can also help introduce it. Arthur lowered his posture.
Little Jack was also confused, although Lord Naraku brought big customers every time, and Lord Naraku himself was strong, but he wouldn't be so respectful to a person he brought who had just entered the black market, right?
Roy regretted a little that he injected the holy light into the mask when it was shaped, and he originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now with a little eyesight, he can see that he has an extraordinary background, and his plans to make a fortune in a muffled voice have been ruined.
"Mr. Arthur, do you know where you can buy energy crystals on the black market?"
"Energy Crystals? I heard that Carter-Smith guy didn't know where to get the energy crystals of good quality, and he could be on the Gold Coast in three days. ”
"Carter-Smith Carter Store?"
"yes, this guy always gets good stuff. ”
Naraku was right, I'll come back in three days.
Arthur touched his chin and said, "Energy crystals aren't cheap right now. ”
Roy was stunned for a moment, remembering that Monterey had said that the staff of the underground mage was only more than a hundred gold, so he asked, "Why?"
"It's not the reason for the starstone, the starstone has become more and more scarce recently, the amount of mining on the dwarven side has also decreased, and there are only a few people who can make energy crystals, can this thing not increase in price?" Arthur said, spreading his hands.
"Well... Isn't that a mage very hard?"
"Yes, now those mages, especially high-level mages, are worried about the energy crystal, and using a slightly low-level energy crystal can't play a role, and many mages simply use high-level demonic beast crystal nuclei instead of energy crystals. ”
