To the east of the city, there is the slave market.

A place full of filth and evil, where the most unscrupulous and bottom-line transactions in the world are conducted.

Human trade.

No matter how prosperous the economy is, how advanced the science and technology are, and how high the moral level is, the trade that treats the population as a "commodity" cannot be completely banned.

Because there is profit in it.

Huge profits of more than 300%.

Slave trader Ward, a middle-aged businessman with rosacea, half-bald head, and wearing fancy clothes. He greets everyone with a smile, nods and bows, and is very enthusiastic... Beside him, there are two other people. A sturdy orc bodyguard, I don’t know how he recruited it.

Only Zhou Ming knew from the greedy red light flashing in his eyes and the ferocious smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time that this slave trader, known as "the largest slave trader in the capital" and "has the best source of goods at hand", was a heinous person. bastard.

Just based on the hundreds of slaves of all races he locked in those iron cages, it was not enough to sentence him to death ten times.

Buying his slaves is equivalent to becoming his accomplice! Just to encourage him to continue doing this dirty and evil deal.

but……

Zhou Ming just wanted to buy two orc maids for his own convenience, and he didn't want to go online.

Perhaps knowing that the magicians were rich, Ward personally entertained them, walking through one iron cage after another and introducing them all the way.

Zhou Ming saw all kinds of slaves.

Among these slaves, there are both humans and orcs... In order to make money, slave traders don't care what race you are.

Most of them were human slaves, about 80 of them.

There are only a few orc slaves, less than 20 people... The Kingdom of Yadud is located in the heart of mankind, 100,000 miles away from the northern border, and orc slaves are rare.

Among the human slaves, seeing that most of them were wearing broken leather armor and standard clothing, looking like soldiers, Zhou Ming asked about their identities.

"They were all prisoners of war."

"Prisoners of war purchased from the Kingdom of Habas. They are healthy, strong, and highly skilled in martial arts. They can be used to do some physical work or serve as your personal bodyguards."

Ward explained, and also talked about the war between the Kingdom of Habas and the Kingdom of Cardon.

These two kingdoms are feuding, and wars often break out on the border. These wars are either about the struggle for land, or because of grudges between nobles, or they just need a battlefield to harvest glory... Hundreds of wars have been fought between the two countries. Years, no intention of stopping.

Most of the prisoners of war in these cages were captured by the Habas Kingdom in a war... I heard that the Habas Kingdom won a great victory, annihilating nearly 100,000 Cadoun Army, and captured countless prisoners.

"He is in good health, so why is he missing an arm? Are you even a disabled person?"

Passing by a cage, Zhou Ming pointed to a middle-aged man inside and said. This man's face was covered with stubble, his face was vicissitudes of life, his body was covered with scars and blood, and his right arm was completely broken off. If it weren't for his chest rising and falling slightly intermittently, , Zhou Ming thought he was dead.

"His name is Gazef. He is a very famous figure in the Kingdom of Cadorn. He is the commander of the army of the Kingdom of Cadorn. He is also a poor unlucky guy... I think he is interesting, so I bought him. coming."

"Oh, I want to hear his story."

Zhou Ming became a little interested and asked curiously.

Ward spoke eloquently.

Gazef was born a commoner, and through his hard work, he became a great swordsman. After joining the army, he was promoted repeatedly due to his bravery in combat and many meritorious services.

He cherishes the lives of soldiers, protects the people of his country, is loyal to the kingdom and king, and is upright and brave... Among the middle and lower classes of the kingdom, Gazef's reputation is growing and he is respected and admired by many people.

The king even named him the "Kingdom Warrior Captain" and broke the convention that civilians were prohibited from becoming a general. He was promoted to a general and commanded an army of tens of thousands of people.

He also married a beautiful wife and had two beautiful daughters.

At this point in the story, the life of this warrior leader can be described as complete, and he can be called a model for people at the bottom to realize their dreams.

but……

How could the nobles of the Kingdom of Cardorn allow a commoner to climb over them?

How could the king be allowed to use Gazef's power to gradually erode the interests of the nobles?

Tragedy soon struck.

An elite regiment of 10,000 people.

Ninety thousand peasant cannon fodder.

Facing the attack of 200,000 elite cavalry of the Habas Kingdom.

As well as the nobles who leaked information inside the country.

If this warrior who has reached the pinnacle of his life and enjoys a moment of glory will not fight against the enemy, who will fight against the enemy?

After Gazef was defeated and captured, his beautiful wife was occupied by a nobleman. His two daughters were still young, but they might become the playthings of that nobleman in the future.

As for Gazef himself, no one would pay to redeem him. The king sentenced him to a serious crime. After a bloody battle with the enemy's masters on the battlefield, he broke his right arm and was only one-tenth of his peak strength at most.

In a word: he has no use value.

Looking at him lying in the cage and not knowing whether to live or die, he can best be described as a "waste".

After listening to Ward's story, Zhou Ming shook his head.

Sighing: "Poor man, poor man."

He thought for a while and asked Ward: "How much did he sell it for?"

"100 gold coins."

Ward said: "When I bought him, it was 100 gold coins. I don't make any money from you sir. If you want it, I can sell it to you at the original price."

That guy hasn't eaten or drank for seven or eight days. Ward doesn't know how many days he can live. Maybe he may die tomorrow.

Zhou Ming nodded: "Okay, the deal is 100 gold coins, and he will be sent to my house later."

Perhaps out of sympathy, Zhou Ming bought the poor Gazef. Even though he was a cripple with a broken arm, and even though he was middle-aged and had little use value... Zhou Ming still bought him.

Then, under the leadership of Ward, Zhou Ming went to see the orc maid.

In the clean and tidy tent, there were four pairs of orc maids on four large beds.

Two pairs are cat maids and two pairs are rabbit maids.

Each has its own characteristics.

"Cat maids are smaller in size, move very nimbly, and work quickly. One cat maid is as good as two human maids."

"The disadvantage is that they may not be very obedient, they may compete for favors, which may arouse the mistress's disgust, and some may even run away."

"But I have to admit, cat maids are very good in bed, and many men will go crazy for them."

Ward introduced with a twinkle in his eye.

At this time, there happened to be two cat maids. They looked at Zhou Ming with their agate eyes. They arched their backs, swung their tails behind their butts, and licked their lips with their pointed tongues, looking extremely charming.

How can teenagers see such scenes that are not suitable for children? Zhou Ming asked the tall orc bodyguard next to Ward to take Henry outside the tent.

Henry walked out reluctantly, walked to the tent door and turned around and said, "Teacher, I think the cat maid is very good, why not buy two and go back."

Zhou Ming ignored him.

I asked about the rabbit maid again.

"Rabbit maids are slightly larger, about the same size as humans. They move more nimbly and work neatly. They are famous for being clean."

"The advantage is that they have a gentle temperament and are obedient to their masters. They don't have as many tricks as cat maids, but they still have a lot of flavor."

"The disadvantage of the Rabbit Maid is that she is relatively stupid and not as flexible and smart as the Cat Maid. She is very timid and easily frightened."

"This makes it easier for them to become dependent on their owners and basically prevent them from running away."

Ward said.

Zhou Ming nodded.

After comparing the advantages and disadvantages, he had a clear idea of ​​what to choose.

Rabbit Maid.

He plans to buy a pair of rabbit maids.

The reason is not that rabbit maids are cheaper than cat maids, but that rabbit maids are more serious and more in line with his needs.

After all, for Zhou Ming, the need to be able to do housework well is far greater than the need for something in his crotch.

Besides, the Cat Maid and the Rabbit Maid, with their fluffy noses, ears, and tails, do look very cute and cute, but playing in circles with such creatures, Zhou Ming feels that it is too strong for his taste. If he is not a gentleman, he really can't do it.

Then Zhou Ming asked Ward a few more questions:

"How much does a rabbit maid cost? How much does a pair cost?"

Some people here must be wondering. Zhou Ming bought one rabbit maid and it was enough. Why did he need to buy two to make a pair? There is something special here, Ward explained to him, similar to raising cats and dogs, orc maids also need companions. If you buy one, whether it is a cat maid or a rabbit maid, they will run away easily. If you buy a pair, the probability of running away will be greater. Reduced.

"The price of Feifei and Meimei is 50,000 gold coins."

"The price of Sissi and Lulu is 40,000 gold coins."

Ward pointed at the two pairs of rabbit maids and said, Feifei and Meimei were older and had longer training time, so they sold more expensively, while Sissy and Lulu were younger and had shorter training time, so they sold cheaper. .

Two maids, 50,000 gold coins, this price was so expensive that Zhou Ming was stunned.

50,000 gold coins are enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for 1,000 years.

However, this is nothing to Zhou Ming, whose monthly income is more than one million gold coins.

I bought it without much counter-offering, just 50,000 gold coins.

"Can these pair of rabbit maids really do all the housework and ensure that the meals are delicious?"

When taking out the money, Zhou Ming still asked.

"I promise you can do everything well, Feifei and Meimei. We have trained them for almost ten years. If there is anything they can't do, you can ask me to return it!"

Ward patted his chest and assured that although he had only been trained for five years, he felt that there would be no problem. Today, this big business was 100% settled!

In addition, in order to make Zhou Ming more satisfied, Ward also asked the pair of rabbit maids to call him master.

"Master~"

"Master~"

The pronunciation of these two sounds was not very standard, but Zhou Ming still heard it and was very satisfied!

Take out the magic crystal card in your pocket and pay the bill quickly!

Ward was also very happy and gave him a certain discount. The human slave Gazef outside the tent was regarded as a bonus and given to Zhou Ming.

In addition, seeing that this guest was wealthy and generous, Ward revealed a piece of news in Zhou Ming's ears:

"Sir, in three days, our Ward Slave Chamber of Commerce will auction a special item - a beautiful elf. Are you interested?"

"Elves?"

Hearing this word, Zhou Ming's heart skipped a beat and he immediately became interested.
