Chapter 62 Slave House

Chapter 62 Slave House

In fact, regardless of whether Luo Ning expressed his intention to buy slaves or not, as long as he proposed to visit the Viper Slave Exchange, Anthony would agree.

For him as a person in charge, anyone who is interested in slaves is his potential customer, let alone the man in front of him.

Therefore, regardless of whether this transaction can be concluded, Anthony has performed very conscientiously. From the moment he entered the exchange, he was like an external roadshow manager constantly promoting his professionalism and the superiority of his products to customers.

Through Anthony's introduction, Luo Ning deepened his understanding of the slave house and the slaves.

First of all, there is the issue of the source of slaves. Most of them are prisoners of war. A small number of them have either violated the laws of the lord and were demoted, or they were deceived and abducted. In short, the paths are diverse and complicated.

"In May of this year, the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Thieves teamed up to occupy several baronies in the southeastern part of the Osan Territory. Count Wiggins was furious and issued a call-up order, defeating the enemy's coalition forces in one fell swoop and taking back the occupied territories. soil of."

Anthony introduced: "In this battle, the noble coalition captured many prisoners of war. The gentlemen did not want to take them back to their respective territories and were too lazy to deal with them, so they sold them to slaves in various places. After professional training by the slaves, they would These slaves were sold throughout the kingdom.”

Luo Ning knew about this battle. His predecessor's father led the team. Although they won, the eldest grandson of the Hyde family died in the battle because of Wiggins' command error. That day at Wushan Castle, the Golden Lion Knight took this as an excuse. Excuses, asking for many benefits.

Ronin frowned slightly, "I heard that the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Thieves Group have existed for a long time. Why didn't the nobles even get together to eliminate them?"

"Moreover, this time the coalition forces took back those lands, why not continue the attack and completely eliminate the hidden dangers?"

Anthony spread his hands and said, "Master, I'm afraid I can't answer your question. But I remember that Wushanbao did defeat those damn guys in the early days, but within a few years they showed up again. They were like castles. The rats in the cracks in the wall will never be eliminated.”

Luo Ning nodded slowly. To the southeast of Wushan Territory is the land adjacent to the Three Realms. To the east is the Principality of Vera, to the north is the earldom of the Hyde family, and to the west is the Wushan Territory.

Over the years, that area has been occupied by the Brotherhood for a long time, and various forces may have infiltrated it, making it very complicated.

Unless Wushanbao can completely destroy the opponent's lair and arrange heavy troops to guard it, it will take more than ten or twenty years to develop and truly control it.

Anyone who wants to rely on a war to solve the problems there will obviously not work.

During the conversation, the two came to the big room at the front.

It was dark and damp here, and slaves were kept naked in small cells.

They seemed to be in a very poor mental state, their eyes were numb and empty, and they didn't even look helpless or desperate. They looked like walking corpses.

"This is the sales area, and the people locked inside are all well-tamed slaves."

Anthony introduced, coming to a cell and knocking on the wooden pillars, "Hey, guys inside, stand up and turn around, hurry up!"

After the man inside heard this voice, his eyes became brighter.

He stood up dully, without saying a word, and didn't care whether he was wearing clothes or not. He just spread his arms and slowly turned around in the cage, showing every part of his body in front of the customer.

"Look, this guy has a lot of muscles on his body. As long as you give him a bite of food, master, he will definitely be a good worker."

Anthony picked up the small wooden stick next to him and introduced the product while poking the muscles of the opponent's waist and abdomen. His expression and tone did not look like he was introducing a person, but a real product.

"Master, I have some slaves of this kind here. If you take them all away, I can give you a huge discount and sell them to you at the price of two gold and five silver each."

Although Luo Ning was mentally prepared, he still couldn't accept it when he saw a man standing naked in front of him, and then being poked in the muscles by the steward with a stick while talking about the selling price.

This scene shocked his visual and psychological defenses too much.

Moreover, this is just a sales area. In this slave exchange, there is also a domestication area. What kind of scene will it be inside?

Sure enough, the damn sense of justice in his heart began to surge again.

Ronin took a deep breath to calm down his mood, and then showed a polite smile to Anthony, "The slave is very good, but the price you offer can't impress me."

After that, he turned around and walked outside.

Anthony thought the customer was about to leave, so he quickly chased after him, "Master, don't leave in a hurry. We can talk about the price later~"

In fact, Luo Ning didn't want to leave, he just couldn't stand the sight in front of him.

Arriving outside, Luo Ning felt relieved, but the oppressive atmosphere inside made it difficult for him to breathe.

He looked at Anthony and decided to keep the story short: "Let me introduce you first, Mr. Anthony. I need to know the approximate price of your slaves here."

"It depends on what kind you need, sir."

Anthony knew that the transaction was not going wrong, so he continued to introduce: "Sir, I have all kinds of men, women and children here, and there are even two or three junior knights."

"There are also knights?" Luo Ning was a little surprised.

"Of course!" Anthony emphasized, "Master, don't underestimate our Viper Slave Exchange. As long as you have enough money, we can even catch a magician and train him for you. Hehe, it's just a little expensive."

He said enthusiastically and flatteringly: "The price for a primary knight is about 100 gold coins, and the price for a magician is a little more expensive, about 500 or 600 gold coins."

Ronin raised his eyebrows. Is this price "a little" expensive?

But it seems that the cost of taming a superhuman is not low, and it makes sense to sell it at a high price.

"I don't need these. What I need is labor, various craftsmen and women who can produce."

The population of Shanlin Town has been counted, and Wilson has also compared the number of men and women of childbearing age according to Ronin's requirements.

Relatively speaking, the ratio of men to women in Shanlin Town is in a relatively healthy state, but it is undeniable that there are still a little more men.

So he needs to buy some fertile female slaves to solve the problem of single people in the territory.

Sometimes he can't help but think that he is really a good lord, even considering the problem of single people in the territory.

Next, Anthony introduced the approximate prices of various slaves.

Simply put, the most expensive among ordinary people are craftsmen, such as artisans, carpenters, masons, shipbuilders, etc. Their prices all start from a few gold coins. The better the craftsmanship, the higher the price.

The second is strong young male laborers. The stronger and better the body, the higher the price, generally sold for a few gold coins;

Then there are women, whose prices are lower than those of strong young men, and the specific prices are also divided according to their physical conditions, but generally not more than two gold coins;

Finally, there are the elderly and children. For many lords, these two types of people are a bit of a burden.

After all, they can't work and will consume a lot of resources, especially children. When they grow up and have strength, how many resources will be used to support them?

Therefore, the prices of these two types of people are relatively low, basically not more than one gold coin.

The last tier is the disabled, who only need dozens of copper coins at most, and some are even sold in packages and given away as extra.

Of course, there are always exceptions, such as some noble women who have not been redeemed, especially young and beautiful women, whose prices are very high, even higher than those of top craftsmen.

Considering the rumors about Ronin, Anthony wanted to bring out a few of these slaves to promote them.

However, Ronin flatly refused. What did he need these slave women for? To make love?

If he really wanted to be that hungry, he might as well be intimate with the maid Bella, at least he wouldn't have to worry about getting sick.

"I need 50 strong young laborers and young women each. If there are craftsmen, I need masons and carpenters."

Ronin stated his needs, "Give you 150 gold coins, you do it for me."

According to a rough estimate, if all these people are in place, it will cost about 200+ gold coins, but Ronin usually bargains in one go, so he starts with a high price.

Anthony was happy to hear Ronin's needs, but after hearing the offer, he looked painful and entangled, as if he was constipated.

"Master, 150 gold coins are too little. This deal cannot be done~"

He slowly stretched out six fingers, "How about adding 50 gold coins? This is the most reasonable price!"

"Anthony, you have to look far ahead! If you miss a big client like me, you will never get it again."

Roning glanced at him calmly, "You should know my identity."

Anthony bowed immediately after hearing this, "If I guess correctly, you should be the noble Wushan bloodline, Lord Baron Roning of Shanlin Town."

Roning's mouth curled up slightly. Sure enough, the other party had already guessed his identity.

"Since you know my identity, you should also believe in the credibility of Wushanbao. If this deal is reached, I will continue to buy thousands of slaves from you at the beginning of next year. And I can guarantee that our business can continue."

"No one has ever doubted the credibility of Wushanbao, and the same is true of your promise."

Anthony said humbly, but his face was still tangled, "But sir, the price you asked is too high, and I also need to make money to eat."

He retracted a hand and a finger, "How about, how about you add another 40?"

Roning seemed to have lost his patience and glanced at the other party, "Think about it carefully, if you think it's okay, come find me outside. Ridal, let's go!"
