871. Mermaids in inland rivers

Surdak took his glass, raised it to the slave owner Zazaks, and then said casually:

"Actually, there are still some kobold slaves in my family's territory, and it is a long way to transport slaves from Hailansa to the White Forest Plane, and there will be troubles along the way......"

"If you have kobold slaves, I think kobold slaves are actually pretty good."

The laws of the Grimm Empire did not prohibit the slave trade, but it did prohibit the persecution of the poor and the homeless into slavery by all means, and the capture of indigenous tribes and mountain people in remote mountainous areas.

In fact, according to the laws of the Grimm Empire, slaves can only be enemies captured on the battlefield, and the other party can redeem themselves with money or materials......

Kobolds, gnolls, fishmen, and crow people do not belong to this category, and these subraces cannot be considered humans, so they are not considered slave trade, and this kind of trade is legal.

It's just that many aristocratic lords are very repulsive to these low-IQ sub-races, so that slave traders are not willing to sell these cheap goods at all, once they are smashed in their hands and cannot be sold, the daily consumption of miscellaneous grains alone is enough for these slave traders to cry.

Zazaks said euphemistically:

"Kobold slaves, now only when a new plane is opened."

Seeing that Surdak was unmoved, he said, "You want slaves who are good at mining, and goblins are actually very good. ”

Merchant Malacombe interjected again, "Forget it, the goblins still have brains to mine?" ”

"If you have a real dwarf here, you can send someone to inform Malacombe." Surdak said to the slave owner Zazaks, and as he spoke, he noticed a familiar figure quickly walking out of the corridor on the left, and looking at the figure, it looked like Marco.

Zazaks said to Surdak very happily:

"Don't worry! If you have a dwarven slave, the news will be sent to you before the auction! ”

Surdak nodded slightly, then he paused before saying to Zazaks, "In addition, I would like to give you a kind warning, if you can, try not to sell the natives of the Nanai tribe and do such things...... In fact, it is not cost-effective at all, in the maca plane, as long as you take out thirty silver coins a month, you can hire very good young people of the Nanai tribe, but buying and selling the indigenous slaves of the Nanai tribe is easy to be hated by the Nanai warriors. ”

"Who does our business without being hated, if you want to count it like this, my enemies are not ten thousand, but probably thousands, if I have to be afraid of anything, it is better to simply take this money and sneak to a completely unfamiliar plane to live again." Zazaks smiled and said self-deprecatingly.

Surdak could only say so much to the slave owner Zazaks, the drinking party was not over, but many nobles had already left one after another.

Surdak did not buy suitable dwarven slaves and did not want to stay here.

He asked the waiter to carry the two Nanai natives he had bought to the front yard, and he took the two hostile Nanai natives and Malacombe out of the quiet-looking manor.

It was almost midnight, and there was the occasional magic caravan speeding through the streets.

Malacomb sent Surdak back to the hotel before leaving in a magic caravan.

The two native slaves of the Nanai tribe seemed to be in good spirits, and they were still a little wary of the unfamiliar environment.

However, the clothes they were wearing were a bit miserable, looking more like a piece of cloth, and there was air leaking all around.

Surdak asked for a room for the two Nanai natives in the hotel, and asked the waiter of the hotel to find two sets of clean clothes for the two Nanai natives, let the two of them take a good bath, change into clean clothes, and invited them to eat two roast chickens and a scone, you must know that it is so late, it is not easy to find so much food in the hotel.

These two Nanai natives are no different from normal people except for a dangling slave collar around their necks.

However, their imperial Chinese is not very good, and it is a bit difficult to communicate with Surdak.

……

Early in the morning, Surdak woke up early, and after having breakfast in the hotel, he set off with two Nanai natives to the town of Dodan.

Surdak came to Wilkes this time in a magic caravan with Hathaway and Beatrice, and he came to Wilkes without an entourage, and Gulitham, Samira, and Andrew all stayed in Dodan Town.

This time he returned to Dodan Town, and he didn't want to sit in the magic caravan, so he bought three more Gubolai horses at the horse market.

The three of Surdak rode from the horse market to the north gate of Wilkes, and walked along the city's river to the north gate, which at this time of the morning there was very little traffic and basically no pedestrians.

The river is a ring in Wilkes, with a small pier every few minutes, and the river is not deep, except for a few small canoes and flat rafts with a shallow draft.

The city is full of arched stone bridges, the spans are not very wide, and the slope of the bridge deck is not very steep.

Surdak walked this road once, but in the early morning he passed by it, and the delicate branches and leaves of the weeping willows by the river drooped into the water, and from time to time a small fish spit out a small blister in the river, and then it disappeared after a splash.

Riding a horse slowly by such a pleasant river, if it weren't for the two dumb-headed Nanai natives behind him, he felt a little uncomfortable, but in fact, the road was quite pleasant.

When passing through the three-way intersection of this inland river, Surdak rode a horse and just boarded the arched stone bridge, when he saw a water line crossing the quiet river, this waterline moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the bottom of the stone arch bridge where Surdak was located.

It was only when he got closer that Surdak could see that the cyan fishtail was tinged with dark red and orange.

A long, silky and slippery hair almost covered the entire pale back.

Surdak was startled at first, and thought to himself: How can this Cana mermaid go to the river for morning swimming this early in the morning...... On second thought, no!

It is the intersection of the inland river, one leading to the eastern half of Wilkes and one to the exit under the northern city walls, but the exit of the river is also very well fenced with iron to make it difficult for large fish to pass through.

Surdak glanced into the river, and saw that the Cana mermaid was hiding under the bridge in some panic, with a little duckweed on her face, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Those clear eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Surdak remembered the first time he met Signa, and he seemed to have this kind of look in his trance, like a panicked fawn......

A group of well-armed knights chased after him along the river, and the one at the forefront was the noble lord who had spent 2,700 gold on the previous night to buy the Cana mermaid.

When he chased a group of cavalry to the bridge, he looked at Surdak with a suspicious expression, and asked Surdak with a stinky face, "Hey, why are you here, have you seen a Cana swimming past here?" ”

Surdak turned his head to look at the two Nanai natives behind him with a blank expression, and asked casually, "Hey, have you seen a Cana swimming past here?" ”

Because Surdak spoke so fast, the two Nanai natives couldn't understand it at all, and they shook their heads blankly at questions they didn't understand......

Then Surdak also turned his head and shook his head very seriously.

The noble lord shouted angrily: "Send people to guard the exits of various waterways, she can't escape from this inland river, let's go to the eastern district to find ......"

After speaking, he led a large group of cavalry to chase down the river, and the cavalry behind also looked cautiously under the bridge, and did not find any clues.

Surdak did not stop at the bridge, but rode his horse and hurried towards the northern gate with two Nanai natives......
