ps. The chapter name is wrong, but the background does not allow modification, the correct chapter name is "Bar Jing and Anti-routine"
"In Marienburg, business is business."
- Grand Duke of Marienburg "The Moneylender" Van der Gouber-Schulz.
Marienburg Talent Market is the largest slave trading place on the mainland. Here, as long as they have money, buyers can buy almost all creatures that can be bought on the mainland.
Whether it is a serf, a defeated soldier, or even the lady of a bankrupt nobleman, from halflings who are good at housework and housekeeping to brutal barbarians who are only suitable for bodyguards, from blond Nords to black-haired and black-eyed southerners National races, even dwarves and ogres, can be bought at the Marienburg talent market.
But if you say who is the most valuable, it is the elves with pointed ears.
There are three types of elves, high elves, dark elves, and wood elves. They are referred to as high elves, dark elves, and wood elves for short. Looting, the elves have good looks and elegant temperament, and are especially liked by human nobles.
Only the high elves will not appear in the market, because the high elves embassy will interfere with the captive high elves, the high elves ambassador will negotiate with the upper house of Marienburg to redeem the precious population through the negotiated procedure, and the dark elves and Wood elves are not protected.
"There are dark elves? It's really rare, but it's no wonder, I don't know why, humans always have a special hobby for elves." Ryan complained to Emilia casually.
"Do you like elves too, sir?" Emilia didn't dress up as a maid today, she looked like Ryan's female companion. Seeing that Ryan spoke in a very casual tone, she also asked curiously, blinking her big eyes blink.
After spending more than two weeks with Lane, the girl became much more cheerful, which also seemed strange to Lane.
"Whatever, I'm here to buy a maid to help you today, not to see if she's pretty, it's fine if she's good at work." Ryan came out on the one hand because he planned to go out for a walk, on the other hand On the one hand, it is to add a helper to Emilia. As for the so-called dark elves, he really has no intention of bidding.
However, he has just entered the talent market with a great reputation recently, and there are groups of nobles and businessmen coming up to greet him. After all, the strong are respected in this continent, and Ryan is only twenty-five years old. He is already a legendary middle-level The knight is already stronger than the heads of many second-rate knight orders. All fools know that he will be a great knight in the sanctuary in the future, so the nobles and businessmen are trying to make a good impression on him.
If you have money, you have to spend your life,
The big merchants in Marienburg are not stingy when it comes to making friends with strong men and hiring bodyguards.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! Mr. Ryan! Are you here for that female dark elf?" Chairman of the Gentlemen's Union Chamber of Commerce, Viscount Casanova Casanova, the second person in the House of Lords of Marienburg, smiled He walked up: "If Mr. Lane is interested, we can sell it!"
"Yes, yes!" The people surrounding Ryan suddenly responded, and the heads of several major chambers of commerce in Fort Marien were here.
"Hahaha! Thank you everyone, but I'm just planning to add a maid to my house today. I'll take a look at the excitement. It's not what you think, otherwise someone will suddenly drop down to show me." Ryan said politely Respond calmly, and then humorously said that he was just looking around casually, and if he dared to mess around, someone would have an opinion.
Everyone roared with laughter. Everyone knew that Ryan and Witch Jialan had a close relationship. It seemed that she was a jealous witch who didn't want to share!
Nobody knew Lane wasn't talking about Veronica at all.
"Well, Mr. Lane, a female slave, is interested. Even though the asking price is right, we all understand." Several nobles immediately expressed their understanding. Seeing that the auction was about to start, everyone dispersed.
"Let's come in too!" Ryan's seat has been arranged by the person in charge in the market, so he took Emilia to sit down. The seat for two people is a small box, and Emilia tidied up the hem of her coat and a tube skirt, sat beside Ryan.
The auction started, and all the visitors sat around the huge stage in the middle of the market. Under the illumination of the magic lights, slaves were brought up one by one under the leadership of the slave trader, and they were brought up in cages. of.
At the beginning, they were all miscellaneous things, such as serfs who sold themselves or civilians who were accidentally captured while avoiding the war. Ryan had no interest in this, he just chatted with Emilia: "Emilia, you If you didn't escape to become a mercenary, would you also become a slave?"
"Maybe, and it could be worse than being a slave." Emilia sat like a good girl, with her little hands on her knees. The girl was wearing cotton stockings today, showing only above her boots and below her skirt. In short, Ryan bought her a lot of clothes and stockings that day, but the girl was reluctant to wear the best clothes, but kept them preciously in her room.
"I think you can sell for a good price~" Ryan smiled and deliberately joked: "You are so beautiful, there must be many big nobles and big merchants who are willing to buy you back as a wife, especially you will also know Gao Ge Special language, literacy, mathematics, and good manners."
"Sir~" Emilia raised her head weakly, she knew Ryan was joking.
"Hahahaha~"
After a while, some valuable slaves gradually began to appear. For example, a dwarf blacksmith caused many chambers of commerce and nobles to compete for bids, but Ryan remained silent. It is estimated that it still weighs three hundred catties, and he does not seem suitable to be a maid."
"Hahahaha~" Emilia covered her mouth and snickered.
After several consecutive auctions, Ryan finally found the prey he wanted - a girl with fiery red hair, who looked very honest, not particularly outstanding in appearance, but also relatively refreshing, making her an ideal maid candidate.
"Exhibit No. 26 is Miss Letty from the Kingdom of Estalia in the south." The auction host paused, and then continued: "This Miss Letty is sixteen years old this year. I can't read but is very polite, can count from one to twenty, and can also do housework, so she is a very suitable candidate for a servant, but if everyone here wants to do other things, I have no objection!"
"Hahaha~" Everyone at the auction laughed.
"The starting price is eight gold marks, please bid if you are interested! One bid must not be less than fifty silver coins!" After the auctioneer shouted, someone immediately raised the sign in his hand: "Eight gold marks!"
"Eight gold marks and fifty silver coins!" Ryan also raised the sign in his hand.
The auction hall fell silent immediately. The representatives of the major chambers of commerce looked at me and I looked at you, and they all stopped bidding tacitly.
The citizens in the back seats and some small businessmen also stopped bidding when they saw that Ryan, a legendary mid-level human hero, wanted it.
The auctioneer didn't take it seriously. He continued in a loud voice, "Mr. Ryan bid eight gold marks and fifty silver coins. May I ask who else is interested?"
"Eight gold marks and fifty silver coins once!"
"Eight gold marks and fifty silver coins twice!"
Seeing this, Ryan nodded, thinking that he could withdraw after filming this girl.
"Nine gold marks!" At this moment, a person held up his own sign.
There was an uproar in the arena.
"Who is it? Dare to grab something from Mr. Lane?"
"Which bastard is it?!"
"Isn't this the southerner? Damn southerner, he doesn't know the rules!"
Several major chambers of commerce in Marienburg began to whisper, Viscount Adalbert-Casanova frowned, and said to Baron Greymeier sitting beside him: "It's that southerner again, he is really stupid, he is not at all. Know the rules, that's why I hate them."
Hearing someone bid, Ryan frowned slightly, and raised the sign again: "Nine gold marks and fifty silver coins!"
"Ten gold marks!" It was that person again, and he raised his placard again.
Hey~ You also met a gangster today, right? Ryan bid again: "Ten gold marks and fifty silver coins!"
"Eleven gold marks!" The other party bid again.
Ryan gave up and continued to bid, and he turned his attention to the middle-aged man who bid with him.
This is a handsome man in his early thirties. He is tall and straight, with clear and three-dimensional features. He has a very elegant temperament and extremely elegant clothes. His black eyes are shining with wisdom. When he saw Ryan, he looked over. , he nodded and smiled at Ryan.
"Eleven golden marks once!"
"Twice the Eleven Gold Mark!"
"Eleven Golden Mark three times!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Hadrian from the Luigi Chamber of Commerce for bidding for the ownership of Miss Letty!" The auctioneer's wooden hammer slammed down, announcing the completion of the auction.
Ryan was not discouraged after missing his goal. There were many slaves coming out for auction at today's auction. He didn't need to stare at one desperately, so he began to look for the next target.
The auction continues.
After waiting patiently for more than a dozen consecutive auctions, another girl was brought up. This girl looked pitiful. She had a cute baby face, emerald green pupils, long brown hair, slender eyebrows and cute Dimples, wearing a simple dress, shivering in the winter.
"This is the daughter of the former Knights of the Angel Feather Order in the Southern Tyrell Kingdom. Her name is Miranda!" The auctioneer laughed loudly: "Her poor father failed in the war and went bankrupt not long ago. It's sold here!"
"Hahahaha!" The citizens and nobles present burst into laughter, as if they encountered some particularly funny story.
The year before last, the emperor of the empire changed, and the political situation was somewhat turbulent, so the Angel Feather Knights in the Kingdom of Tyrell in the southern country took the opportunity to lead an army to invade the Tuscan Electorate in the south of the empire, and the rogue knights in the south wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain A little cheap.
As a result, the violent Tuscan Elector Umberto Corleone not only led his Knights of the Ram to wipe out the invading enemies, but also led the army southward, playing triumphant songs all the way, The Angel Feather Knights surrendered, and unreasonably hit the capital of the Tyrell Kingdom. King Tyrell had to pay a large amount of war indemnity to satisfy the Elector Umberto and retreat.
This is a story that people in the empire especially like. It tells the story of the overreach of the people in the south, and it also shows the strength of the empire.
"I believe everyone has seen that Miss Miranda is sweet and lovely. She is only sixteen years old this year. She can read and write. She has also learned traditional aristocratic etiquette. She is also healthy and perfect! She needs someone to give birth to her. People of blood, hurry up!" The auctioneer said loudly: "The starting price is one hundred gold marks, and each bidding price must not be less than five gold marks!"
"One hundred gold marks!" Ryan looked at it and felt very satisfied, so he immediately asked for a price.
Seeing that Ryan had called for a price, many interested nobles also calmed down, waiting for the next product.
"One hundred and ten gold marks!" Unexpectedly, it was that handsome man again, he raised his signboard.
"One hundred and fifteen gold marks!" Ryan raised his eyebrows and continued to increase the price.
"One hundred and fifty gold marks!" The handsome man smiled politely at Ryan and continued to increase the price.
"One hundred and fifty-five gold marks!"
"Two hundred gold marks!" The handsome man named Hadrian continued to bid with Ryan.
"Fuck!" Ryan cursed secretly, two hundred gold marks was already more than the price in his heart, and his adoptive father Norman's annual tax in Autergne was almost four hundred gold marks (gold marks and gold dinars were exchanged) The ratio is 1:1), he has money now, but the money is not spent like this.
In the auction room, everyone was also shocked by Hadrian's arrogance. A nobleman saw that Ryan had given up bidding, so he tried to call out a gold mark of two hundred and ten, and Hadrian immediately added it to two hundred and five Ten gold marks.
So this girl named Miranda was also photographed by Hadrian.
"emmm~" Ryan felt that he might be targeted, so he said to Emilia, "Just one who can work?"
"Well, everything is up to the master." Emilia refused to comment.
After taking pictures twice, I didn't get anything. Ryan's interest dropped greatly. After taking pictures of several slaves, an aunt was brought up. She was in her thirties and her figure was out of shape. Yue's work has become rough, but it looks like she can do dirty work, so Ryan thought that no one would rob me of this aunt, right?
He was wrong.
Seeing that Ryan made a move, Hadrian immediately bid with him. The aunt whose original price was only 50 silver coins was bid by these two people for five gold marks and didn't stop. Obviously, this guy wanted to argue with Ryan.
Ryan's face was as black as ink, and he was furious, so the Primarch patted the table lightly and stood up: "Emilia, let's go."
"Okay, sir." Emilia noticed a deep palm print on the table, and the maid hurriedly stood up and followed behind him, and the two walked directly towards the outside of the venue one after the other.
Just walked out of the auction, saw the world of snow and ice outside, before Ryan had time to breathe the fresh air, a man who looked like a butler immediately stopped them: "Hello, Mr. Ryan! I am honored to introduce myself, I am Mr. Hadrian Steward, I am very, very sorry for our disrespect!"
The butler's attitude was extremely humble, and his bow almost exceeded ninety degrees.
"So? Are you showing off for your master?" Ryan replied without emotion.
"No! That's not the case! Mr. Lane, what I want to say is that Mr. Hadrian wants to make friends with you! At the auction, the slaves that Mr. Lane likes will be given away immediately after the auction is over. Come to Mr. Ryan!" The butler could feel the coercion on Ryan, which was a kind of supreme majesty experienced in a sea of corpses and blood, he immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time bent even lower.
"At the same time, in addition to these, Mr. Hadrian is willing to present a big gift to Mr. Lane! Just after this auction is over."
