The slave trade is one of the pillar industries in Blizzard City. The major slave merchants in the Luying Empire have maintained a large number of slave catching teams in the North to specifically capture slaves.

Trolls, ice giants, and demi-humans, the three major races of the ice plains, are popular traders in the slave market.

There are also some rare small groups, such as little people less than one foot tall with transparent wings like dragonflies, who are kept in birdcages. They are "flower elves". They are not low in intelligence and are good at simple things like cultivating flowers.

Magic is often treated as a pet and kept in the back gardens of the great nobles.

There are also dwarfs, lizardmen, cavemen, half-elves, snow maidens, and all kinds of humanoid intelligent races, as long as they are not human, are all targets of capture and trafficking by slave traders.

These rare slaves are very popular in Luying's upper class society...

Blizzard City has planned a large market specifically for slave trading, located in the East City.

It was a huge building with a burgundy roof, like a train station.

When Su Lun came, it was the busiest time for market transactions in the evening.

There are slave shops with various signs on both sides of the street. At the door of each shop is a large iron cage, which contains some "samples" for display.

The merchant's price is hanging at the door.

"Jingya people ￡10-20w lisso/piece, preferential treatment for large quantity"

"Adult giant starting from £800,000/piece"

"Rare snow girl starting from ￡5 million/piece"

This is the place of origin, and the prices marked on these brands are much cheaper than those in Luyingga Dulante Port.

After all, the loss rate in the process of transporting slaves is also very high.

When transported across the sea to Lu Ying's territory, you will encounter storms, plagues, pirates and other uncertain factors, and there is also the possibility of the entire army being annihilated. In the end, a 50-60% survival rate is very good.

In addition to shops in the market, there are also some retail stalls belonging to neutral adventure groups and slave-catching teams. Those scattered slaves are tied in a row with forbidden magic chains, and are led like animals for sale on the street.

The streets are crowded with people, and here you can choose the best slaves at the most affordable prices. Well-dressed rich men and women are wearing gas masks, selecting the slaves they like, and bargaining.

The aboriginal people on the ice sheet seldom bathe, and the smell of the animal skins they wear is also very strong. Especially the trolls, who have thick hair and will never take a bath in their lives. They can smell it from a distance.

There was no toilet for the slaves, and they ate, drank, and defecated in cages, so the air of the slave market was filled with a strange smell.

Su Lun walked on the street, specifically looking for shops selling demi-humans.

If he could, he wouldn't mind buying the slaves of the Daru tribe. But there are too many slaves here, and it is impossible for him to buy them with the financial resources. What's more, a steady stream of slaves are captured every day. In this world of the jungle, the strong eat the strong.

, buying and selling cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Su Lun looked at many shops. He wanted to find someone who could speak common language and could communicate. Just like the Pasu elder from the Daru tribe who gave him a prophecy last time.

But none was found.

Finally, after walking around for a long time, we arrived at the bulk slave trading area in the market.

When I first walked over, I saw several stewards from a large slave trading firm chatting at the door of the warehouse.

Even if you don't listen deliberately, you still capture some information.

"Damn it, recently several good slave-catching teams from our Chamber of Commerce that went to the Silent Forest were attacked. They obviously caught a lot of good goods, but they actually let the slaves go!"

"It should be the "Fist of Justice" Hooch did. I heard that guy is now building a resistance army to resist the slave miracle doctor. I heard that the guy united some alien races to resist slave capture on the ice sheet, and the slave capture groups of major trading companies

We are attacked frequently, and many of them are caused by that group of people."

"That damn guy, he is not a good bounty hunter, so he comes to get involved in the slave business! This is a formal business allowed by the empire's laws! Oh, those guys who say 'the slave business is shameful', do you know that we create for the empire?

How much tax revenue has been collected? Without us, the empire’s fleet would be at least 20% less! 20% less!”

"Yes, business is getting worse and worse."

""

Su Lun walked over.

A goatee manager with sharp eyes saw him and immediately greeted him with a smile, "Guest, do you want to buy a slave? Oh, you are at the right place. Our 'Sun Slave Trading Company' has the most complete types of slaves and the highest quality!"

As he said that, he looked at Su Lun's clothes as a hunter, and then gave a subtle reminder: "Sir, how many slaves do you need?"

This is bulk wholesale, not small business.

Su Lun was impressed by the "Sun Slave Trading Company", which was one of the largest slave trading firms in the imperial capital. The batch of slaves purchased at the Kadu Lante Port happened to be sold by this trading firm.

He tossed a silver coin as a tip and said: "Show me. I want to buy some Asians."

The goatee manager looked at Su Lun's generous spending and said with joy on his face: "Okay. Sir, please come here. There are some samples in the shop. If you are not satisfied, let's go to the warehouse, where there are more."

Su Lun remained silent and walked over.

There are so many slaves in big trading houses, it's like a breeding farm, and the slaves are sorted into rows of iron cages.

In order to facilitate customers to inspect the goods, many slaves, especially female slaves, were displayed wearing only thin animal skins. They were shivering in the cold wind, and their skin also showed bruises and bruises from frostbite.

"Sir, do you have any requirements for Asians? For example, type, skin color, age, gender, height?"

The goatee manager always gave Su Lun a professional smile.

When asking, he pointed at the Cage Asian and introduced: "If you want to buy a maid, I recommend buying a Deer Clan demi-human. They have a relatively docile personality and are easy to tame. If you want to have a more pleasant life experience, choose rabbit or fox species.

Yaren is even better. I can guarantee the reputation of the business. What we sell are all first-hand goods, and absolutely no one has touched them! This is not comparable to the inferior goods outside who don’t know the second-hand goods.”

Su Lun looked expressionless and asked: "Are there any demi-humans who know a little bit of Common Language?"

The goatee manager showed a troubled look: "Oh~ that's rare. Only a very small number of demi-humans can speak Common Language. Usually they are not easily caught."

Su Lun spoke in a wealthy tone and said calmly: "Price is not an issue."

Hearing this, Goatee's eyes lit up, and then he said: "I'm not sure either. Or, let's go to the warehouse and have a look?"

Su Lun nodded silently

Su Lun followed the steward around to the back of the shop, passed through a tightly guarded iron gate, and arrived at a large underground warehouse.

The light was very dim, and what you could see was an iron cage, mostly covered with canvas.

Su Lun felt the soul flame. There were probably hundreds of people.

I heard someone coming down and there was a rustling sound coming from the cage.

There was a "crash" sound.

The steward greeted the workers behind him and lifted up the canvas of an iron cage and introduced: "This was just returned by the hunting group the day before yesterday. Most of them are very precious snow fox and wolf demi-humans. This is truly top-quality goods."

Su Lun took a look and saw that there was almost no difference between these demi-humans and humans, except for the fluffy ears on the top of their heads and the tails behind their backs. They looked well-behaved. They were about the best age of ten to twenty years old.

But he also saw a pair of eyes full of hatred.

At this time, the worker also threw some black bread into the cage. There were more than ten people in a cage, and no one was looting it. An older man picked up the bread, broke it into pieces, and distributed it to everyone.

A small piece of bread is only about one-tenth of a normal person's daily amount.

The steward keenly caught Su Lun's gaze and explained: "Sir, as you know, the demi-humans we just captured are very wild. Don't feed them too full, otherwise they will not have the strength to do anything, and they will be in trouble."

In fact, he knew early on that there were no demi-humans in this batch who could speak Common Language.

Even if there are, they will hide them and will never communicate with humans.

The purpose of luring Su Lun down was to let him take a look at this batch of goods. If they could be sold here, relatively speaking, the profit would be higher.

Su Lun is naturally aware of this problem, and he is thinking about how to select people who understand Common Language.

He wanted to try again like he did last time, using the only Daru language he knew. Unexpectedly, suddenly there was a "clatter" of broken iron chains from the iron cage in the distance. It seemed like

It was a beast in a certain cage that suddenly woke up and was struggling violently.

In perception, the soul fire is higher than all the demi-humans here, and is roughly equivalent to a third-level professional.

Su Lun cast a doubtful look, "That is?"

The steward showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "That's the demi-human just caught yesterday. She's very ferocious. From what the hunting team said, she seems to have slipped through the net of the fox tribe and followed her all the way to Blizzard City.

Yesterday I infiltrated the warehouse and tried to rescue these slaves. Haha, she almost succeeded."

Su Lun naturally knew that the warehouse seemed poorly guarded, but in the darkness, there were actually fourth-level guards lurking.

When he heard this, he became interested and said, "Show me."

Among the Daru tribe, the stronger the strength, the greater the possibility of knowing the common language.

The steward seemed a little reluctant and led him to the iron box in the corner. He opened the canvas and saw that it was not a person, but a huge beast, like a fox or a wolf, all in white.

The fur looked noble, but it was full of bloodstains. The talisman chain penetrated the limbs of the snow fox, and blood flowed across it.

But even so, she still struggled, trying to break free from the chains.

Seeing someone coming, she stared fiercely at Su Lun outside the cage, and let out a terrifying roar from her throat.

The murderous look in her eyes made the manager feel numb, and he explained: "I don't know why she can still maintain her animal form. She must be a very rare species. In order to catch her, several people in our trading company died."

After a pause, he said to Su Lun: "Dear guest, let's take a look at the others. This kind of slave domestication will be very troublesome. If you buy it, it may be dangerous to you."

Su Lun shook his head, walked to the iron cage, and asked, "Do you know the common language? If you can, I will buy you."

As soon as he finished speaking, as expected, the snow fox in the cage only roared in response.

At this time, Su Lun didn't say much, turned his head and glanced at the steward, and suddenly said: "You are a little sleepy."
