870. Gray Dwarf
The aristocrats huddled next to the second-story fence all looked at Surdak at this time, and were a little curious about the young man who directly called out the cap price.
Zazaks pointed to another Nanai slave behind him and said: "This Nanai indigenous who is also a maga plane, he knows a little imperial Chinese, is healthy, is seven feet two inches tall, weighs 195 pounds, and also does not understand basic combat skills, the starting price is 16 gold coins, and the ceiling price is 32 gold coins." ”
A maid immediately ascended to the second floor and found Surdak from the crowd, Surdak was looking down with both hands on the railing, and when he heard Zazaks quoting the price, he directly raised a sign and shouted: "I bought ...... for thirty-two gold coins."
Then he took sixty-two gold coins out of the money bag, put them in the tray in the young maid's hand, and stuffed one silver coin into the maid's hand.
The maid skillfully folded the sixty-two gold coins into ten golden pillars, and put the other two gold coins aside, curtsied Surdak before leaving with the wooden plate in her hand.
robbed two slaves at the capped price in a row, which made the other nobles at the private auction look sideways.
Everyone also began to inquire about the origin of the tall young man in front of them, and casually ran out dozens of gold coins, as if he didn't even blink his eyes.
It is said that Wilkes City has such a rich son, everyone can't help but know it!
It must be an outsider......
What I hate the most is this kind of outsider who doesn't talk about any rules, and even does things like bidding so rudely.
But then, information about Surdak soon came out of the mouths of the two magicians who participated in the auction, who were actually the commanders of the Luther Legion, and had just acquired the Invercargill Forest, and heard that there was a very good copper mine in that forest, and they were really arrogant mine owners.
……
Even Zazaks, who was standing under the patio on the first floor, smiled kindly at Surdak.
When he saw Malacom, the merchant standing beside Surdak, his eyes immediately showed a sudden look, and he nodded to Malacom.
He straightened his dress a little, stood on the stand in the center of the first floor, and waved his hand at the iron fence gate, and out of the iron fence gate came a row of indigenous slaves, but these slaves were not native to the Nanai tribe, and their faces were different in subtle features and skin tones.
"These indigenous slaves come from the rich Koz plane, they are all good hunters, they are also very experienced in plant cultivation, and they all know the imperial Chinese, but they are a little thin, as long as they let them eat a few more full meals, they can become strong immediately!" Zazaks finished and licked his lips.
The maid standing aside hurriedly brought a glass of wine.
Zazaks took the glass and drank it down, then shook the remnants of the glass vigorously before placing the glass back in the tray.
He continued: "These slaves are in good health, and they are all young men, and the starting price of each slave is 14 gold, and the cap price is 28 gold. ”
After saying that, he couldn't help but look up at Surdak on the terrace on the second floor again.
The nobles standing next to the fence on the second floor also looked at Surdak, but to people's surprise, Surdak did not even lift his eyelids to these native slaves, whether strong or thin, and stood indifferently behind the balcony fence, completely becoming an onlooker.
Zazaks auctioned off more than thirty indigenous slaves one after another, and Surdak did not participate in a single bid.
This brought the auction back to its original rhythm, and no one was inflating the price in the first place in an attempt to scare off other competitors.
These male slaves often cost twenty or thirty gold coins, and if they want to create a corresponding value, if they are just working, they will have to squeeze them for at least five years to get back the cost.
Behind Surdak stood the merchant Malacom, who was familiar with the nature of these indigenous slaves, and from time to time made some comments about them, introducing Surdak to several indigenous tribes that he liked.
A group of female half-orc slaves who were convex and backward came out from behind the fence, and the two tiger teeth on their thick lips were slightly exposed, these female slaves braided some fine braids, and their faces were not ugly, but when they saw these protruding tiger teeth, they immediately reminded people of whether they would scratch their tongues when kissing.
They had dark skin and looked stronger than the indigenous men, with the wildness of a beast in their pupils.
Surdak just looked at it curiously, and was not interested in looking at it again.
"This is a group of female orcs with three-quarter orc blood, their physique is stronger than those indigenous men, whether as war slaves or to work on the farm, these female orcs are the best choice!" The slave owner Zazaks patted his stomach with his hand and said loudly.
After saying that, in order to prove that these female orcs were in good health, he reached out and removed half of the linen sheets that the female orcs were surrounding them, revealing their dark arrows, and the muscle outlines on their arms were very clear.
Some orcs also have dark tattoos on their necks and collarbones, which look like vines wrapped around their bodies.
"The starting price is 5 gold, and the cap price is 10 gold......" Zazaks quoted the price.
Surdak exclaimed in some surprise: "These half-beast girls seem to be very cheap!" ”
The merchant Malacombe leaned into Surdak's ear and whispered: "All slave markets are almost at this price, these female orcs have nothing to say about their physical fitness, they are more able to endure hardships, and their adaptability is also very good, the only drawback is that they are short-tempered, some female orcs have a strong body odor, and they are easy to get along with the hired gardeners in the manor, so they are not very popular in the slave market." ”
Seeing Surdak's surprised expression, Malacomb smiled and said:
"Isn't there a saying that goes...... 'Orcs will never be slaves'...... Whoever it is, the orc slave trade will suffer the orc's retaliation. ”
"So, in the slave market, there are only half-orc slaves, no orc slaves, and everyone is talking about the purity of blood essence, in fact, there are many sayings in this."
"Once you accidentally buy an orc slave, there will be an orc earthwalker coming to the door that night, this kind of killing the whole family is actually common in the empire, so if you want to buy a half-orc slave, you have to keep your eyes bright, and if you don't know it, there will be an orc walker coming to the door at that time......"
Hearing Malacombe say this, Surdak couldn't help but sigh:
"Do you say that these slave traders are not afraid of the orcs' revenge?"
Merchant Malacombe smiled:
"Of course, they are also afraid, which is why they have hired so many men, as long as there are more guards, these lone landwalkers have no good way to take these slave owners. That being said, there are also many slave traders who die at the hands of orc landwalkers every year......"
The two of them stood by the fence, chatting and laughing about orcs, as if they didn't care about the auction at all.
By the time the slave master Zazaks replaced the female orc slaves who had been struck off, a group of dwarves staggered out of the iron fence, and Surdak stopped talking, looking at the group of bearded dwarves with bare heads, and their faces showed great interest.
"These are the dwarves?"
Surdak looked at these dwarves in tattered clothes, their faces were gray, their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were ruthless, and whispered.
The merchant Malacom, however, secretly grabbed Surdak's arm and shook his head slightly.
Surdak was slightly stunned, leaned over to Malacombe's side and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"They are not dwarven craftsmen, you look at their skin color, and then look at their eyes, just look at their violent and murderous appearance, you know that these are a group of gray dwarves, they are in the dwarf country, they are a group of lawless robbers, alcoholics, thugs, liars, not only difficult to discipline, but also very world-weary, will make you have endless troubles to deal with every day." Malacomb whispered to Surdak in a very low voice.
"Grey Dwarf ......"
Surdak had seen descriptions of the murderous gray dwarves in some ranger biographies, and some people lined up the gray dwarves with man-eating flowers and vampire demon trees, but he didn't expect to see these gray dwarves with his own eyes at this private auction.
Putting down the prepared sign again, Surdak looked around again.
Sure enough, the nobles upstairs fell silent, everyone was not an ignorant fool, and there was no one to bid for these gray dwarves.
The slave owner Zazaks didn't explain much, and hurriedly replaced some lizardmen with light-colored scales on their bodies.
He then took a vise and made one of the lizard slaves open his mouth and pull out the elongated tongue inside, showing the nobles the pure blood of the lizardmen.
However, the starting price of these male lizard slaves is 30 gold, and the ceiling price is as high as 50 gold, which can be said to be a bit outrageously expensive.
Surdak had also wanted to buy back two lizard slaves for the archer battalion, and I heard that these lizard slaves were born with good archery skills.
Surdak planned to let the lizard slaves teach the archers archery, but he only thought about it for a moment, and all seven lizard slaves were actually bought by a noble lord of Wilkes City for a cap price.
When the maid with the wooden tray came up, the noble lord directly poured the magic crystals in the money bag into the tray, and fifty magic crystals jumped in the tray, but none of them could jump out of the tray.
After counting the number of magic crystals, the maid took a tip of a gold coin and went downstairs happily.
After all these lizard slaves were sold, some people couldn't wait to shout: "Zazaks, can you still put out the beautiful goods you said, if you don't take it out, I'm leaving!" ”
The slave owner Zazaks was in the middle of the first floor of the patio, with a smile on his face, and a group of attendants brought in some rocks and shells, decorating the first floor of the patio as if it were under the sea, and several light blue beams of light shot down from the roof of the shed, and suddenly had the charm of the bottom of the sea.
Zazaks stood on the central platform and said proudly:
"The following lot is the Cana Sea Clan that I bought at a high price from the underground slave market in Haiyin Silk City, yes, it is the mermaid that everyone is looking forward to."
"It is said that this mermaid was caught from the side of the Seven Realms Sea, and it is also a very rare three-colored mermaid......"
As he spoke, he saw eight sturdy waiters carrying large cylindrical glass jars more than two meters high from the gate of the fence.
Surdak saw a splash of water in the jar, and the pale blue scales were still turning dark red and orange, and he saw a large, flat fishtail with a caudal fin of blue, red and orange.
When the attendants moved the jug to the center of the patio, everyone looked down condescendingly, only to see that the large glass jar contained most of the half jar of water, and in the water, a Naga mermaid more than three meters long was curling, and she kept swimming in a panic.
Surdak saw this kind of fish-tailed human body for the first time Cana Hai clan, her skin was not ivory white, but a cold white tinged with light cyan, she had a good figure, her appearance was also very beautiful, and there were two shells attached to her chest, which could not be seen clearly, and it might be a little flat.
However, when it is flipped and swam in the water, it is very elegant.
When this mermaid appeared, all the noble lords around the second-floor fence were boiling, and many people's eyes seemed to be about to pop out, and Surdak felt that the entire terrace might collapse at any time.
The sea blue eyes looked at the world outside the glass jar a little timidly, looking so innocent and pitiful.
There is no cap price for this auction.
The starting price of one hundred gold coins was instantly pushed to five hundred gold coins, and at the back, it was obvious that there was a price between four noble lords and one magician nobleman.
Surdak felt that neither the Badlands nor the Invercargill Forest could support this sea tribe, and he was not noble enough to spend a lot of money to buy it and release it, so he decisively decided not to participate.
The private auction came to an end after bidding for the mermaid Cana.
And this Cana mermaid was also auctioned by a noble lord of Wilkes City at a high price of two thousand seven hundred gold coins, and the noble lord didn't smile after photographing the mermaid, obviously the price was too high, and he couldn't swallow this breath, so he spent this huge amount of money as soon as his mind was hot.
The friends around couldn't help but tease and said, "Viscount Yoshimoto, you are really a big deal, so much money...... Buy a manor...... You can marry a noble lady in Wilkes. ”
"You know what, the next time Gibbon goes to the beach in Wasqui, he doesn't have to buy a ferry ticket......"
There was a playful laughter all around.
The noble lord's face was pale, and he stared at the young man with an angry face on the other side of the fence, both of them were very angry, as if a battle was about to break out, while their friends seemed to have been used to it, and they didn't even bother to persuade them......
……
This kind of private auction will be held in Wilkes City basically every two months, and the private auction will be followed by a drinking party.
Zazaks, the slave owner, walked among the crowds with a glass of wine, greeting people everywhere.
When he came to the merchant Malacombe, he put one hand on Malacombe's shoulder, and asked him with a smile, "Malacombe, didn't you say you wanted to buy a few dwarven slaves?" Why didn't I see you bidding! ”
Malacomb smiled and explained to Zazaks, "Viscount Surdak plans to open a mine, so he has to buy a few dwarven slaves, and his army is short of cannon fodder, so what's the use of buying those hot-tempered gray dwarves?" ”
Zazaks laughed and said, "Actually, the gray dwarves are also good at mining, but you have to chain their hands and feet before they can become more honest." ”
Looking at his expression, he was not ashamed of it in the slightest.
