Chapter 525 Auction (Part 1)
A ray of sunshine in the early morning penetrates the clouds and spreads to the earth with a warm light. The new day finally begins again.
This morning seemed very lively, and many people woke up early, and even some nobles who had always been pampered and lived in poverty were no exception.
Today, they are going to go to a place to screen some warriors who are beneficial to their own safety and use them to protect their own and their family's safety in the future. Today's time is still very valuable to them.
"Asan, is the carriage ready?"
"If you go back to the master, you've prepared it and you're out there."
"Hurry up, the conference is about to begin. If it's slower, the good slaves will be snatched away by others."
"I understand, I understand!"
The above conversations continued to happen this morning.
Due to the continuous invasion of the demon army, in addition to some large cities, many villages with weak defenses have been broken by demons. Earl Sanggukan's city has now become a temporary place for nearby nobles to take shelter, and a large number of nobles flocked to the city to take shelter. Fortunately, these nobles have bought industries in this big city, and they also carried jewelry, property, food, and resettlement.
The magic disasters in the entire inland area have also led to a market prosperity - slave trading.
Slave trading has existed since ancient times. People who became slaves had a variety of identities, and the reasons for becoming slaves were also diverse.
However, most of the slaves were the people who lost their land and the ranks of the people, and some were the soldiers captured in the battle, the craftsmen, the people who were plundered by the defeated country, and the people who were abducted through other channels.
In short, this transaction has always been prosperous, and slaves are indispensable in any noble family in any country.
They are the owner's private property, and can be bought and sold, given away, have a gentle temperament and work hard. They are different from the people they hire and are deeply favored by the vast nobles.
Today is a rare day when a slave auction begins. Although a large number of nobles have been living here, life is not as comfortable as before. However, the more chaotic the times are, the more the rich people are worried about their own comfort and hire others to protect themselves. Although it can solve temporary dangers, it is still not very cost-effective over time.
Moreover, in times of crisis, slaves like slaves are much more loyal than hiring ***ers or adventurers.
Early in the morning of the conference, many nobles drove carriages to the place where the slave conference was held.
The auction conference was held to be a pilgrimage chamber with strong strength. This pilgrimage chamber is different from ordinary chambers of commerce. No one knows how powerful the power behind them is, but only knows that this chamber of commerce has existed since a thousand years ago.
They do various businesses, and I heard that there are countless branches under them, and most of them are not known to outsiders and have extremely mysterious colors.
Some people have speculated that this is the subsystem of the business goddess that has risen in the last thousand years, and has been recognized by many people.
Such a large chamber of commerce with strong strength and a background of gods is something that no noble wants to offend easily.
They can hold many auctions in any country without being troubled by local lords. They can be called dragon masters among merchants.
The place where the slave auction was held was booked in a very magnificent building. This building is located in a relatively remote place. There are no prominent people here. They have always been considered the property of a small and medium-sized aristocrats. Now, please post it, and the nobles who received the post suddenly realized that this building is actually the property of the Pilgrimage Chamber of Commerce!
"Father, almost all the people outside have arrived, right?" In a window-to-wind room on the third floor of the building, a middle-aged man stood by the window. At this time, someone pushed the door in. The one who came in was a young man in his early twenties. Seeing that his father didn't move for a moment, he whispered.
"Okay, I understand, go out immediately." The middle-aged man was the host of the auction, a senior executive of the Pilgrimage Chamber of Commerce. He answered without looking back when he heard his son's inquiry.
"Oh, then I'll go out to greet them first." A little afraid of his father's majesty, the young man dared not stay too long. He faced the middle-aged man and stepped back out of the room, and gently closed the door.
When the footsteps in the corridor outside gradually faded away, the middle-aged man turned his face and showed a majestic face.
Then, he set his eyes outside the window and downstairs.
There, there were many gorgeous carriages parked on a large open space, and the nobles kept entering this building under the protection of their servants.
"As the president expected, every auction was crowded." He sighed softly, not sure whether he was sighing about the profits brought to the chamber of commerce by the demon disaster, or the panic that the demon disaster caused everyone to be so strong.
He stroked his hair himself, and a few gray hairs fell off, and his expression was very calm. Before every major auction, he needed to calm down and calm down.
"The goddess is above, President, elders, I will try my best to mention the interests of the auction to the highest level. This is the duty of a merchant and the path of my faith."
He silently assured the void, with a look of no sorrow or joy on his face, which is an expression that a person who truly puts the interests of the Chamber of Commerce at the forefront can have.
His burly body turned around and with steady steps, he walked to the door and slowly pushed open the door.
The auction hall was already full of people.
As soon as you enter it, the bright environment around you becomes dim. Only on the platform in front is a magic lamp that has not been turned on. This is to allow everyone in the audience to see the design and arrangements made after each group of slaves come on stage.
The auction house is very large and it is not difficult to accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, the magic light in the center of the auction house suddenly shines, and the middle-aged manager who has been sitting in a hidden place is paying attention to the situation of the venue.
Although he is the host of the auction house, he doesn't need to come forward in person when no big thing happens.
I saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes walking out of the backstage and saying her opening remarks in a charming voice.
It was nothing more than welcome to attend the auction. The middle-aged man nodded. In the remote place where he was sitting, he could still see the situation on the stage clearly, which made him feel very satisfied.
I have to say that the host of the Pilgrimage Chamber of Commerce is indeed a good player to motivate the atmosphere. After a few words of her, the scene became more enthusiastic than before.
Seeing that everyone's attention had already been put on the stage, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "Everyone, the auction house has obtained a group of strong slaves this time, with a total of 200 people. Each of them is a healthy man, no more than twenty years old, and has begun to receive basic martial arts training. They are all people with the potential to become warriors. And I want to mention here that these 200 of them are all voluntarily becoming slaves because of family reasons. There will never be any phenomenon of escape, hatred, etc."
As he said that, the first striker, and immediately, led by several men in uniform costumes, two hundred people walked up to the platform together.
The platform is very big, and two hundred people stand on it, and it doesn't seem crowded.
"It's them, each of them starts at... ten gold coins." The beautiful woman said with a smile.
Ten gold coins?
When everyone heard this, they were stunned and thought that the starting price was a bit high.
"I'll tell you something here first. I believe that after hearing this, you will definitely feel that the prices are not low." Seeing that the scene became cold for a moment, the beautiful woman was not in a hurry, but continued: "I had sold a batch of slaves a few years ago, about twenty people, and the price of each one was not low. The person who bought them was either someone else, Miss Sasha's father, Baron Brown, I believe you have heard of this adult?"
"After training, these slaves have become personal soldiers of the family. After the territory was lost, the people were scattered, and only the family slaves continued to follow. It was with the foundation of these dozens of people and the help of the Giant Eagle Druid and others that Miss Sasha has regained the Baron Brown. From this matter, I believe that you should be able to understand the true value of these slaves, right?"
"Of course, as far as I know, all of these slaves have been released as *** people and obtained the status of soldiers. They can serve the Butron family for generations in the future."
"Therefore, according to special standards, our chamber of commerce specially selects various talents among refugees, provides specialized training, and opens up purchasing channels to you."
"What? Baron Brown was regained?"
"This is actually the case!"
The nobles who obtained this from women were shocked.
This is really the case. That excellent future combat power is definitely not the current price!
Anyone who is stimulated by this incident will crazily summon combatants and hope to recover their territory. How can those present not understand the relationship?
They sent their confidants back to inquire about this matter, and the scene was full of discussion.
The beautiful women were not anxious either. They knew they were going to tell the truth or the fake. The auction in the morning continued.
However, this group of preparatory warrior slaves did not conduct auctions, but started with other ordinary slaves. However, after the morning's incident, people's thoughts were all else. For a moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall was not very warm.
During the lunch break, most of the nobles and confidants had already received the approval letter and rushed back from outside. As soon as the auction started in the afternoon, the scene suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.
"I will give out thirteen gold coins for each person! I will want all of these 200 people!"
"I'll give out fourteen!"
Chapter completed!
