The slave market, that's what everybody says.

For the new arrival of Liao Ji and the others, there is a more professional name, Scelagu.

Such an awkward name comes from the orc language, and it is said that the former subhuman race, in order to commemorate the glorious years when the coalition of many races around the world, including their subhuman race, under the leadership of the Ash Emperor, worked together and united to finally defeat the abyss of turbidity, end the source of the wasteland, and finally stop the terrible natural disasters from raging, and revitalize this devastated land.

It's a pity that after the revision of the canon three hundred years ago, the orc language was completely removed, and the subhuman races did not even deserve to have their own language, and they had to learn the ash language from an early age, and over time, the true meaning of the name "Sserragu" had long been forgotten, and it was simply a name left over from history.

Only the few who survived from 500 years ago may be able to understand the meaning of this orc language.

That's probably what it means.

When the stars shine, right?

Liao Ji, who got off the carriage, looked at the big archway of "Sseragu", and below was a huge jumping market underground, but the normal jumping market sold second-hand items, and here.

It was the slaves who were sold.

"Sir! Do you want to take a look at this new batch of werewolves? The mercenaries specially captured it from a nascent tribe this time, and the varieties are absolutely fresh and the abilities are of high quality, and the caretaker is a good hand! ”

"Precious deer species! And it's a juvenile body that was captured before the age of three! Such an excellent financial product, gentlemen who have passed by should not miss it! There are only three left! As long as you buy it home and feed it a little bit, you can harvest a pair of finished antlers worth thousands of gold in two or three years, which is definitely the best choice for your investment! ”

"Sale, Sale! Gentlemen, lactating dairy sheep subhumans, have just had a child, and now they are controlled by our drugs to remain in estrus, buy one and go home to ensure that gentlemen can sing every night! The taste is definitely enough! ”

As is common in second-hand markets, stall after stall is crowded together, and the owners of each shop are shouting and attracting passing customers to patronize the goods on their stalls.

The only difference is that the goods on their stalls are one after another, black and cold large iron cages, in which all kinds of subhuman races of different breeds, with collars and shackles, are curled up in a corner of the iron cage.

With Irene, Liao Ji didn't waste time in other stalls, and went directly to find the internal slave dealer that Abu circled for himself on the "recommended list".

Liao Ji had just walked into the other party's stall, and the slave trader who seemed to have been looking forward to it for a long time, As soon as he saw Liao Ji and Irene who was following behind, his eyes immediately lit up, he recognized it, and stepped forward quickly.

"You are the Mr. Liao Ji mentioned by Abu! Ah! I'm looking forward to you, hello Hello, I'm Hogoff, if you want to buy slaves, you must be right to look for our family! ”

"Hogoff, you don't look like a local."

"Yes, yes, I am a businessman from abroad, so don't worry, we are different from those black-hearted locals, I am very sincere, and I will never pit you!"

"I believe you, so let's go and see the goods directly."

"Mr. Liao Ji is really as refreshing as Abu said, please come in, I have already picked out the best goods for you!"

Ordinary slave traders are stalls, but a large one like Hogoff has its own shop tent, and after lifting the curtain, Liao Ji looked inside, and a bunch of eyes also looked at him.

There are those who are timid, those who are afraid, those who are nervous, those who are expectant, and... Hateful.

It's all from the subhumans in the cage.

"Come to Mr. Liao Ji, I heard Abu introduce your situation, and in general, I recommend this Tiger Man Clan to you!"

At Hogoff's words, the man slowly pushed a cage slightly larger than the others over, and when the curtain was lifted, inside was a male subhuman with bulging muscles, exuberant hair, and gray stripes.

"The Tiger People have always been the strongest in the sub-human race, and the appearance is also very good-looking, it is the best candidate to be used as a guard, this is an excellent breed, the blood is very pure, and it has always been regarded by me as the treasure of the town, today I gritted my teeth. One hundred and fifty thousand. No, 130,000 is sold to you, how about it! ”

Liao Ji didn't respond immediately, but got closer, wanting to take a closer look, but it seemed that he noticed an outsider, the tiger man in the cage suddenly opened his eyes, and then roared at Liao Ji, and the surrounding chains trembled a little under the strong struggle of the tiger man.

Under this scene, Hoggoff was a little angry, and while apologizing to Liao Ji, he turned around and scolded angrily.

"Bastard!"

He kicked the cage violently, and at the same time one of the coats of arms in his hand began to glow, and then he saw that the tiger people in the cage began to look pained, their faces twitched, and a blinding red light emitted from the back of his neck, and finally they fell down humbly, not daring to move again.

"You see, Mr. Liao Ji, it looks scary, but we have a "contract", so we don't need to worry about its loyalty, let alone be afraid of its danger."

"Contract"

This is the first time that Liao Ji has observed how the "slave system" works up close, he muttered to himself, and then felt the girl's gaze coming from behind him.

Yes.

Irene also noticed this similar familiarity, even the position of the coat of arms on the back of the neck.

Although there is definitely a very fundamental difference between the two.

But there is no doubt about it.

Homology.

Liao Ji is very sure of this.

The contract on these orc slaves in the Dragon Kingdom, its creator, definitely refers to his Great Emperor Contract, and even directly forcibly imitates it, swallows the dates, and transforms a simplified version, successfully realizing one of the basic abilities of his "Great Emperor Contract" - absolute control.

Later, Liao Ji asked Hogoff to take him around a few times, and this time, when he deliberately sensed the back of those orcs' necks, the sense of familiarity was even stronger.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hogoff, but. There's really nothing I like, so I'll go check on the others. ”

"Don't! Tell me, what do you want, others can get it, and I, Hogoff, will definitely be able to give it to you, and there is definitely a good price! ”

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Mr. Liao Ji! ”

Ignoring the slave traders who still wanted to keep him, Liao Ji and Irene quickly disappeared into the crowd of the market.

Irene obviously wanted to say something, about the "contract" just now, but Liao Jiyi raised his hand and signaled the girl not to speak yet, and he walked in the crowd in contemplation.

First of all, even if it is a poor imitation, it is still an imitation, indicating that the creator must have a template, that is, his own contract.

So. Could it be Jiu You?

Without a slave contract, even if the sub-races can no longer use the relics, and no "relics" come out, they will never be said to have become large-scale slaves now, after all, the combat effectiveness of the sub-races is definitely superior to ordinary humans.

But soon Liao Ji shook his head and denied this speculation.

The strongest evidence is that Jiuyu is a guard, and the guard's personality and appearance, as you can tell from Irene, are all big and straightforward, and have very little talent for turbidity.

If you want to complete this kind of work, copy your own contract and transform it, such a difficult job, among the five major professions, only one profession can do it.

An ability that is proficient in sorcery.

So.

Could it be that the situation in the Dragon Kingdom today is behind "her"?

Let's be honest.

After realizing this, Liao Ji felt a little angry.

But how to say it.

These were all just his guesses.

There is no accurate evidence yet.

He has to continue his investigation.

But Liao Ji is sincerely hopeful. This time he guessed wrong.

"Liao, Liao Ji, you. It's okay." Irene rarely calls Liao Ji's real name, but every time she speaks like this, it must be that the current situation is not very good.

The young man shook his head, swept away his sinking face, and after a long breath, Liao Ji took out the "recommended list" of Abu again.

He then took Irene again, pretending to visit several slave merchants' shops, and after almost creating his image of a "picky rich young master", Liao Ji walked to a slave shop located in an inconspicuous corner.

As mentioned earlier, a safe, hidden, and plausible place to hide sub-races is the slave market.

But this must not be done by the sub-people alone, there must be a slave merchant who is willing to cooperate with them.

It's actually quite easy to find out the "inner response" of this subspecies.

What Liao Ji thought before was that the other party must try to keep a low profile as much as possible, so he could use Abu's recommendation list to get rid of all the slave merchants above, and then go to find those who only buy goods and don't sell them.

But now, after discovering the secret of the slave "contract", Liao Ji has an easier way.

"Sir, please stop, we don't sell slaves here, we only buy slaves!"

Seeing Liao Ji and the two walk in, the boss who personally guarded the door immediately stepped forward and apologized with a smile.

However.

Liao Ji, who is a gentleman's son, shouted how could there be a slave merchant who did not sell slaves, there must be good goods hidden in it, and flashed directly past the boss and walked quickly to the rear warehouse.

When the curtain was lifted, the imaginary occasion where a group of Asians stared at them with wide eyes did not appear, and it seemed that their disguise was still relatively careful.

Still.

The simple solution that Liao Ji said before is here.

Looking around the warehouse, it was actually similar to many slave traders before, cages, shackles, and subhuman races imprisoned in the cages.

Merely.

From the back of their necks, Liao Ji couldn't feel the familiarity of the contract, obviously, there was only one possibility, their contract was fake, these subhumans in the cage.

There was no real slave contract at all!

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

After confirming that he had found the right place, Liao Ji turned around and looked at the boss with an anxious and panicked face.

"Let's say a number."

"I want all of your slaves here!"
