After sending away a group of children, Isaac led Enzo towards the inside of the market. After passing through several stalls selling various goods, the two came to a gray tent.
"There are many merchants selling slaves in Qiselu Market, but the quality of slaves here has always been the best."
Isaac and Enzo walked into the tent together, and a strong smell of incense suddenly hit their faces. When the bloated slave trader saw the guest, his eyes suddenly lit up and he greeted him enthusiastically.
"Dear Wizard Isaac, Root welcomes you!" Root bowed and saluted, looking very respectful.
Enzo looked around. The environment inside the tent was very spacious, about the size of a small stadium. Many adult male slaves were chained, while younger slaves were locked in cages.
Compared with the slaves sold at the stalls outside, the quality here is obviously better.
In addition to the slaves wearing linen clothes, the adult male slaves are also stronger. Although the expressions on their faces are also a little numb, there is a faint luster in their eyes.
"My friend plans to buy some slaves and prepare your best goods." Isaac said softly.
"It turns out that this gentleman wants to buy slaves. Do you have any requirements?" Root quickly raised his head, turned his gaze to Enzo, looked at him for a moment, and asked with a smile.
"I want to buy some servants and some guards." Enzo thought for a while and said, "The guards must master certain combat skills. It would be best if they are knights who have practiced fighting spirit."
"In addition, I also need an experimental assistant with knowledge of potions!"
"Is this so?" After hearing Enzo's request, Root frowned slightly and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Sir, if you need ordinary servants, I have many here, and there are also a few slave knights who have practiced fighting spirit."
"However, I'm afraid you may not be able to find even one experimental assistant with knowledge of potions in the entire Qiselu Market!"
"As expected." Enzo sighed, already expecting it.
The knowledge of potions generally only exists in the wizarding world. Most books are recorded in special words, and some even have sealing runes printed on them. Even if they are obtained by mortals, it is difficult for them to obtain the above knowledge.
Therefore, only apprentices trained by wizard organizations can serve as general experimental assistants.
As for a wizard apprentice, unless he is a degenerate who violates the Holy Code, even a wandering apprentice will basically not be reduced to the point of becoming a slave.
"In that case, let's take a look at the knight slave in your hand first." After thinking for a moment, Enzo said.
"As you wish, my lord."
Root led Enzo and Isaac towards the innermost side of the tent, and came to a huge iron cage. Inside were all adult male slaves, each with a strong body and very strong blood.
Strong.
"These are the knight slaves I have. How about them? They should meet your requirements."
Enzo looked at the slaves in the iron cage. As Root said, these slaves have all practiced fighting spirit and have knight-level combat capabilities, which are enough to serve as guards.
"What happened to turn these knights into slaves?" Enzo asked casually.
"What else can there be, it's just war." Isaac shrugged and sneered, "In order to compete for some ridiculous interests, wars often break out in secular kingdoms. Some knights are captured on the battlefield. That's it.
Became a slave."
Enzo nodded slightly, but felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
The world is like a dark forest. It is normal for the strong to prey on the weak. Even a knight with a noble status in the eyes of ordinary people may lose everything and become a slave due to an inexplicable war.
Strength is the fundamental measure of everything!
Only by continuously becoming stronger can we get rid of the oppression of higher-level beings. This principle is true in the secular world, and it also applies to the wizarding world. Just like the Shadow Realm caught in the flames of war, countless wizards have fallen just because of the struggle for the interests of the upper class.
"These slaves are good, I want them, how much do they cost?" Enzo asked.
"You want them all, no problem." Lute said with joy on his face and rubbed his hands: "There are eight knight-level slaves in total. Each slave has two magic stones. A total of sixteen magic stones are needed."
"Choose some ordinary slaves for me." Enzo said.
Using eight knights as manor guards is enough to deter thieves and thieves. Next, purchasing some ordinary servants can satisfy Enzo's daily life.
Later, Root recommended some ordinary slaves to Enzo.
Although these people have not practiced fighting spirit, they are all good at various skills and can serve as chefs, grooms and other jobs. There are fifteen people in total, but they only spent four magic stones.
"The deal is done, welcome to visit us next time."
After collecting the twenty magic stones paid by Enzo, Root smiled like a chrysanthemum, his fat and greasy face full of wrinkles.
Leaving the gray tent, Enzo and Isaac were followed by a group of slaves.
"What are your plans next?" Isaac asked.
"The problem of servants and guards has been solved, but I still need an experimental assistant." Enzo was still unwilling to give up despite not finding an experimental assistant in Root's tent.
"A slave with knowledge of potions?"
Isaac shrugged and said with a wry smile: "I advise you to give up. The knowledge of potions is not something that ordinary people can understand. Even I don't have much talent in this area."
"Is that so?" Enzo frowned slightly.
"Huh? Wait!" Suddenly, Isaac's eyes lit up, and he seemed to remember something, and said, "I know a place that may have the experimental assistant you need."
"Oh? Where?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"The real Seven-Colored Deer Market!" Isaac said with a hint of mystery on his face, "Only wizards or apprentices can enter that place, and most of the things sold there are related to the wizarding world."
"A gathering of wizards?" Enzo's eyes lit up.
If there really is a wizard gathering in Thunder City, there will naturally be many apprentices there. Although it may not be possible to buy slaves who are good at potion knowledge, if you hire an apprentice as an experimental assistant, you can save Enzo a lot of trouble.
"Yes, right at our feet."
Isaac stepped on the ground, stroked his chin, and said, "Send these slaves back to the manor first, and I will take you to the real Seven-Colored Deer Market."
"This is easy."
Enzo nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at the slaves behind him. A silver light shot out from his eyes, and the strong mental storm turned into invisible pressure.
The slaves, who had originally looked numb, looked frightened one after another, and their bodies could not help but tremble.
