Volume 2 Poetry and Distance Chapter 9 Forbidden Officers and Slaves
A huge flying magic boat suddenly broke through the air from the residential area in the hinterland of the city of "Pingxia Stream", and the magic boat was castrated very quickly, and it seemed that it did not hesitate to lose the string stone to overload it, in order to quickly get rid of this place.
Since the day of the establishment of the city, the "Pingxia Stream" has stipulated that no flying magic weapons shall be used in the city, otherwise it will definitely receive an attack from the large protective array in the city, but this flying boat has gone far away from the departure path, and the protective magic array has not been launched at all.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, two old men who were playing chess suddenly frowned, and one of them spoke,
"Are you leaving?"
"Hehe, since Wang Lao Wei is here, with his temperament of seeking stability, it is naturally better to leave earlier."
"Let's just let him go, I'm afraid of losing face!"
"Face? Later, an announcement will be made to say that the magic array is out of order, we are stationed here, for the sake of Ansheng, this time the Qin Mansion intervened in the dispute between the two factions, and we can't help anyone, and besides, Wang Lao Wei and his senior brother Jin are in charge, even if we open the magic array, they also have the ability to get out, so it is better to buy face for them. β
"Those two people have killed the existence of the peak sea beast of the rank captain, why should the two of us offend them for the sake of a Qin family, not to mention that the Qin family lives in the sea, and the entire Emerald Sea mortal dock has their strength to take root, if they are messed up, check it out, and I won't be able to end it later."
"It's still the senior brother who thinks about it thoroughly."
Just as the two of them were talking in the City Lord's Mansion, a few ribbons also flew up in a dense forest somewhere outside the city and tracked them towards the flying boat in the distance.
On the other hand, Ma Chenggong and his entourage looked at the flying boat in the distance at the corner of the alley, and after watching it for a long time, Ma Chenggong was thoughtful, but he still muttered later, "Let's go too, it's important to do business!" β
γγγ
In the afternoon, the scorching sun of the Emerald Sea began to work overhead, and Ma Chenggong and his party stood in front of a shop called "Foot Force" and smiled bitterly.
The shop is not on the main road, but in a remote hinterland cave, with no ornate faΓ§ade, a row of simple iron grilles separating the inside and outside of the shop, and the shop is actually selling slaves!
A potholed gravel road divides the cave into two rows, each with a wooden grating divided into three areas, each with slaves of different appearances.
This place is a place where Ma Chenggong and his entourage inquired for a long time in the city to learn that they could hire labor, it may be that the expression was not clear enough when asking, although the language outside the world is no different from the earth, but there is still a deviation in the interpretation of some specific words, which led to Ma Chenggong being guided here by the other party.
A sweaty man wearing an animal skin vest and bare arms ran to the three of them, just glanced at the group in front of him, and began to flatter,
"Three sons, come to the shop, are you going to buy a few miscellaneous servants, or do you want to buy a few fierce guards, or do you want to taste the beautiful girls of the other race?"
Da Khan's eyebrows fluttered, and when he saw that the three of them did not talk, they just stared at the store and looked around, and then said,
"It's better to objectively follow the small ones inside, and the small ones will introduce the three of them."
Outside the grotto, Fang took a step into the grotto, a foul smell hit, and Leonardo, who wanted to be clean, coughed lightly in discomfort.
"Forgive me objectively, the smell in the store is a little unpleasant."
"Shopkeeper, I dare to ask, so many people are crowded in such an environment, aren't you afraid of getting a cholera or something infectious disease, which will make your store suffer heavy losses?"
"Cholera?" , The big man frowned, and then said,
"This cholera is small and has never heard of it, I think it is objectively worried about whether these cheap things are infected, although objectively rest assured, this store has the owner of the formation master to lay down the mysterious magic circle, this magic circle can trap the enemy to prevent them from escaping, and the second can drive away, the people in the circle are generally not easily infected, as for why the layout of this place is so simple, it is all for the owner to warn, tree prestige."
"I see, teachable!"
As he spoke, the big man led the person to the first cell.
"The goods of the slaves in this shop are all of the upper class, this is the frogfish people, this people are born suitable for water, each of them is a good hand in the water, and they are the best among the sailors of the seafaring fleet."
The appearance characteristics of the frogfish people are similar to those of humans, the only difference is that the ears are unusually small, almost invisible, but a pair of fin fans behind the ears are amazingly large, and the neck of the frogfish people is covered with fish scales, and the light is a little crazy under the refraction of light.
There were about a dozen of these frogfish clansmen, all huddled in a corner, looking at the big man with eyes full of fear, but looking at the three of them without joy or sorrow.
"Objectively, these frogfish people are of excellent character, and the price is not low, everyone needs a string crystal!" , Dahan saw that Ma Chenggong and the three of them were interested in the frogfish clan, and immediately opened their mouths to offer.
"One string crystal per person! Brother, you're not kidding, are you! The string crystal is a necessary item for the cultivation of monks, and each one is cherished abnormally, Your Excellency opened his mouth so widely, isn't it an expulsion order for me! The doppelganger looked grim and spoke.
"Daoyou laughed, the three Daoists just came to this store, and they have already sensed it in the next, and they are just spreading the voice to let the next person say so, and please don't blame the Taoist."
At this time, a figure appeared from the grotto, this person was burly, he was past the age of standing, and his qi and blood were extremely powerful, and he seemed to be an individual cultivator.
As soon as the Kuwu man appeared, the big man and the little man made a move, although he glanced at everyone with a heart, and ran away in a hurry.
"In Xia Dai Mountain, as the "Haichao Pavilion" guest secretary, recently served as the protector of the store, only to see the three Taoist friends to cultivate extraordinary, they showed up to meet, fortunately will be lucky! β
"In the dismount Xiaoshuai, these two are Senior Brother Demon Brother and Brother Xiao Li!"
Dai Shan hugged his fists one by one, and when he looked at Leonardo, he looked stunned, as if he couldn't see Xiao Lizi's cultivation, and he had some doubts in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal.
"A few Taoist friends, do you need help when you come to the shop?"
According to the monk, he naturally couldn't ask for it, and when he succeeded, he said what he needed for this trip.
"Labor in the mines?" , This requirement is the first time Dai Shan has come into contact with it, in the past, once they found the cherished mineral vein, they would wantonly sell slaves and capture prisoners of war and send them to the mining area to open mines, how could they spend money to buy slaves, thinking of this, a guess flashed in Dai Shan's mind, could these people not be a big clan who traveled here after that? It's not like a local style.
"If you are a laborer in the mine, fellow Daoist, please come with me!"
Dai Shan took the three of them to the innermost part of the grotto, in front of which was a relatively tidy cell, in which more than a dozen shirtless middle-aged men were staring at the comer with a wary face, and what was even more surprising was that there was a young woman standing behind the dozen men! This woman is wearing plain clothes, her face is angular, and she has a pair of sword eyebrows, which adds a bit of murderous aura!
"Fellow Daoists, if you want to buy labor for mining purposes, what is the matter with these people."
Ma Chenggong and his entourage were shocked when they saw that the people in the cell were actually Terrans, and they were also interested. Seeing a few people with puzzled expressions on their faces, Dai Shan explained,
"Don't misunderstand, although these people are in this store, they are not slaves of this store, although the owner of this store has some means, but they definitely do not dare to do this rebellious thing of trafficking in human population. These people are official slaves, and their predecessors were the forbidden guards of the Jade Dynasty, the only mortal imperial force in the local area, because of the dynasty riots, these people were arrested and decentralized, and our owner was helpless to accept these people. β
"Although the forbidden army of the dynasty is not allowed to practice, but the fist and foot kung fu of the whole body are among the best, if the Taoist friends can be included in the command, let alone open a mine, even if it is to be a guard for future generations in everything, it is not impossible!"
Hearing this, several people in the cage stared at Ma Chenggong with unkind faces, these people were all guards of the forbidden army before, and they were also proud, but now they heard that they were going to be sold into mining slaves, so they were naturally not ready to comply.
"Dai Daoyou, there won't be any trouble in buying these official slaves back!"
As soon as he heard that Ma Chenggong was interested in this batch of hot potatoes, Dai Shan leaned in and whispered,
"Brother Ma, although rest assured, the small shop is just a consignment sale, and all the income is to be presented to the forces behind this matter, not to tell you, this kind of consignment sale not only has no commission, in case the official slave is killed or injured, we have to pay, it is a hot potato, if Brother Ma you are interested, you will be in charge, one head of one thousand gold, a total of sixteen people, how about counting you fifteen thousand gold?"
"The price is fair, but I didn't bring so many gold coins in the bottom, how about using string crystals in the bottom?"
"Naturally!"
One string crystal can be exchanged for 10,000 gold coins, and in the end, Ma Chenggong bought sixteen official slaves and three mountain people who are good at crafting iron tools for the price of two string crystals.
After making the transaction, before leaving, Dai Shan also presented an auction ticket, and introduced that the auction held by "Haichao Pavilion" two months later was the most abundant and rare in the past ten years, and it should not be missed.
Waiting for Ma Chenggong and his entourage to lead the team away, Dai Shan, who stopped outside the shop, had a smile on his face, and then the big man dared to run over.
"Dai Ye, how is it, can you find out the details of these people?"
"Hmph, each of these three people is something I can deal with, and even one of them is still above the pavilion master, do you still want to investigate and find death?"
The big man was dumbfounded, and could only say yes again and again.
"Open a mine? Hmph, isn't it just an excuse to buy those official slaves! Fortunately, as long as this person succeeds in getting rid of it, I can be considered to have completed the task! β
