12. Slave hunters
Although it is not in accordance with the rules to let guests inspect the goods in advance, the reason why the royal auction house is crowned with the word royal means that this is the royal industry, and Xue Qinghe can be regarded as the owner of the imperial auction house in a sense.
The steward pondered for a while, motioned to his subordinates to open the door of the storage room, and then led Xue Qinghe into the slave storage room.
Although the two empires banned the slave trade, this decree was just an ornament!
In the Heaven Dou Empire, slavery was an extremely prosperous industry, and there were several sources of slaves.
The first is from the disaster area, or the families who cannot survive, who sell their sons and daughters, or become slaves and slaves.
The second source comes from the criminals and their families, who, after being tried, were stamped with the mark of slavery and could not turn over for the rest of their lives, but could only be slaves and slaves.
The third kind comes from the slave hunting group, the behavior of the slave hunting group is very despicable, the object of their hunting is not the soul beast, but the population, and their target is the civilians, especially the civilians who are good-looking, or the civilians who have awakened a good martial spirit, they will hunt the civilians from this place, and then sell them to the auction house at a clear price, so that the nobles can auction these slaves.
Every moment, a large number of civilians of the Heaven Dou Empire have become slaves because of the slave hunting group, and this situation cannot be forbidden, and it can even be said that the royal family is also involved.
The Heaven Dou Royal Auction House, crowned with the word royal, has a large part of its slave origin, and a large part of it comes from the slave hunting group.
Xue Qinghe couldn't stop it, and she had never been to the royal auction house for the slave trade, and it was the first time she set foot in it today, which was really the first time for the royal auction house.
"These are the fifteen slaves that will be auctioned today, if President Chen Qiao knows that you are here today, he will inform me in advance, today, these fifteen slaves, except for the fox girl, other slaves, you can pick up whichever one you like." The steward said.
"Oh, fox girl, why?" Xue Qinghe looked at the fifteen slave cages.
Some of the slaves sat listlessly in the slave cages, some clutched the iron cage with both hands, struggling uselessly, and some huddled in the corner and sobbed.
And the fox girl that the steward spoke of was curled up in a corner of the cage, and many terrible whip marks could be seen on her fair skin, and it was obvious that she had been trained by the slave hunting group and the auction.
Her most obvious features are a pair of fox ears and a fluffy fox tail.

Of course, there can't be such a thing as an orc in this world, the fox girl is a human being, but why does she have the characteristics of a fox, the reason is that when the fox girl awakened the beast martial spirit, some changes occurred, and the characteristics of the martial soul stayed on her body, making her look like a fox had become a spirit.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this fox girl is favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want, it will be difficult for us to do the auction."
"Oh, my uncle has a crush on you."
Xue Qinghe nodded with relief, and quietly added two words in front of that uncle in his heart: perverted.
As a political opponent, Xue Qinghe also knows very well about Prince Xuexing's habits and hobbies, this old thing likes the girl slave of the beast martial soul the most, when will there be a cat woman, a tiger girl, and a leopard girl...... There must have been him, and most of them were taken by him as pets.
Prince Xuexing will take a fancy to this fox girl, and there is nothing surprising about Qianrenxue.
A trace of pity flashed in her eyes when she looked at the fox girl, but the eyes of pity quickly dissipated, she was not a kind-hearted person like Ning Fengzhi, she saved this fox girl today, and tomorrow there will be a cat girl, a leopard girl, and a tiger girl......
The real rotten thing in the Heaven Dou Empire is the aristocracy, without the needs of the nobility, how can it be possible to eradicate this dirty slave trade, even the royal family is involved in the matter of slave hunting, the so-called slave ban decree is just a joke.
If you don't completely disintegrate this rotten root, you will never be able to put an end to the slave trade, Ning Fengzhi can spend money to see one to save the other to fulfill his reputation, but if you really let him work hard to change the rotten aristocratic system, do you think he will?
As the largest chamber of commerce in the mainland, isn't the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect also doing this kind of shady business behind the scenes?
Qian Lingxue immediately set her eyes on the character set by the system, a petite and skinny little girl in an obviously special iron cage.
The spacious slave robes revealed the little girl's thin figure.
The iron cage was made stronger than before, and even far stronger than the iron cages of other adult slaves.
Xue Qinghe went straight to the front of this special iron cage, and the steward introduced with a smile:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you taken a fancy to this little girl?"
"Do you know why we built such a sturdy iron cage for her, you don't know, don't look at this little girl's petite size, but she has strange powers, great strength, and once broke several iron cages in our auction house to escape."
Xue Qinghe said: "Is it so exaggerated? ”
"You don't know this, she was originally the daughter of a family slave born to a fiefdom nobleman in Allen Province, she was supposed to see her grow up and be able to do some work, however, she was clumsy in doing things, and she was full of strange power, washing dishes can break the dishes, sweeping the floor and pinching the handle of the broom, and when wiping things, she broke the master's precious vase, which angered the master, and the master originally planned to kill her, but our slave hunting group was merciful, and saw the value of this little girl, so they spent a lot of money to buy this little girl." The steward gushed about the little girl.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children born to slaves are also slaves, this little girl was born in the wrong child, and her parents were slaves, which were the private property of the nobles, so she naturally became the slaves of the nobles.
"She has a lot of strength, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can arrange for her to do some heavy work, or take her with her when hunting, and her strength is enough to fight with some low-level soul beasts......."
The steward gushed about the value of this girl.
Qian Lingxue's eyes were on this skinny little girl.
Born as a slave, he broke his master's vase and was bought by the slave hunters, but he tried to tear open the cage of the slave hunters several times and escaped, and he was lucky to survive.
Of course, she is also the first person Qian Lingxue is looking for.
