However, before setting off to select slaves, Sha Duo couldn't help but try to find out about the mysterious prophet. As expected, he couldn't find any useful information.
The detection result was like being covered by a thick layer of fog. Although it did not prevent him from observing, it was all foggy, and even after wandering for a long time, he could not get any information.
Shado was not sure whether this was the work of the Cormanthor elves or whether the Mulan people's god-making plan had already come to fruition, but in any case, he was more interested in the mysterious prophet.
…………
Inupras, west of the city.
In a large open space near the water, sparse and simple buildings gathered together to form the largest settlement of the Mulan people in Inuplas. In addition to this, there are one in the east and one in the south of the city.
But now, the ownerless slaves from the other two settlements and even the city have gathered here. When Xia Duo first arrived, he was shocked by the huge crowds here.
Seeing all the bald heads shaking in his field of vision, to be honest, he felt very complicated. He didn't expect that there were so many Mulan people in Inuplas!
This is just Inuplas, how many other places are there?
At this moment, Xia Duo was not in the mood to cast spells to find out the specific number of people, but he only took a quick look and roughly estimated that there were at least 40,000 to 50,000 people.
It was much more spectacular than the meeting he held when he was in school in his hometown!
At this moment, seeing that Sha Duo seemed to have stopped, Jam, who had followed Sha Duo, immediately stepped forward to explain:
"Master Athos, these are the Mulan people here in Inupras. If you feel that they are not enough, you are always welcome to choose from the four nearby settlements."
"There are enough people, but why are these categories divided by age?"
Not only by age, but also by gender, they were arranged into square formations, with aisles in the middle, where people could enter and slowly choose. However, this approach of completely treating people as goods made Xia Duo very dissatisfied.
However, he did not show this dissatisfaction in front of Jam, and at this moment, his original idea of "competing" with the Mulan prophet faded away.
He is trying to find a way out for his tribe. If he treats this as a game, he would be too petty.
At this time, Jam also gave a very official answer to Xia Duo's question as to why the Mulan people were arranged by age - only the older ones were selected, the younger ones could get a discount, and only the young adults were required to pay a 10% increase.
Women also get a 10% bonus!
It really is selling people as commodities, and a set of relatively complete standards has been formed.
The more Xia Duo heard about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Not only did he feel sorry for the situation of the Mulan people, but also because as a human being, he felt that the scene in front of him felt unfair.
"Next, I will mark a group of people, and I will take them all together with their families."
When he was in Meto City, many of the Mulan people that Sha Duo purchased were from the rebels because of the rebellion. After that, he did not specifically request to find the families of those people.
But now, under normal circumstances, it would be easier to win the hearts of these Mulan people if they could take their families away with them.
In response to Shado's request, Jam briefly asked the manager of the slave camp (the Muran settlement) and gave an affirmative answer:
"No problem, Master Athos, please mark them as you like. General Guleben will bring them out together with their families later."
"Um."
Xia Duo responded and immediately began to cast spells. Although he had given up on getting closer to the Mulan prophet, he still couldn't be careless in choosing someone. He couldn't do anything deliberately to make the other party a match. He only chose the person he liked.
people.
As for who he likes, it's very simple. He will first choose people with skills. Detection spells are useless for prophets, but there is no problem at all for these ordinary people.
Soon, a flickering light appeared among the crowds gathered in square formations. Every bald person passed over from this end of the square formation. Whenever there was a candidate that Xia Duo liked, the beating light would appear.
A small point will be separated and stay on the bald head.
By the time all the square formations were swept through, a total of nearly 4,000 people had been marked.
"Tax officer Jam, it's just these people and their families, okay?" Sha Duo looked at Jam and confirmed again.
During the process of casting the spell, he had noticed that the people responsible for managing the slaves here were whispering to each other one by one, and finally the slave leader had a tangled and displeased face.
However, Xia Duo doesn't need to deal with those people, just asking Jam is enough.
Just as Jam was about to answer, the slave leader beside him started chattering, as if he was arguing about something. Jam just nodded and shook his head expressionlessly, completely ignoring the other party's argument.
In the end, he directly waved the other party to leave, and continued to reply to Sha Duo's previous inquiry: "Master Athos, please rest assured, there is no problem at all, but these people are all the best craftsmen in the settlement.
"Although they do not have the talent of craftsmen, they are still fully qualified to serve as real craftsmen. Some of these people have even been booked by workshops in the city. If you really want them, you need to increase the price!"
"How much is the price increase?"
"Not much. Two achievements is enough. If it is higher, I would suggest you to visit other cities."
"Okay, I will use arcane crystals to settle the matter during handover."
After saying that, Xia Duo walked aside and signaled to Jam that he was ready to hand over.
Jam then asked Guleben for instructions to second a group of soldiers, and in coordination with the soldiers stationed at the settlement, he began to select people within the phalanx. This was really not an easy task.
Because these 40,000 to 50,000 people are arranged according to age and gender, the three settlements on Inuplas have been dispersed. Now trying to find the families of nearly 4,000 of them is like a battle.
Great war.
Even if Shado didn't speak the Rushum language, the commonality of human beings allowed him to see that many Mulan people on the field were pretending to be friends. Regarding this phenomenon, the people in Jam not only did not stop it, but even acquiesced.
Soon, in less than half an hour, a new square appeared next to Xia Duo, and people continued to join it. Looking at the other side, almost half of the people were missing.
Xia Duo doesn't really care whether there is more money or less. After all, they all use arcane crystals to settle the settlement. But now it's only the first city. He doesn't know how many cities he has to go to get all the craftsman inheritance. Is it possible that he wants to transfer all the money?
Are all the Mulan people included?
Wouldn't that mean that Imaska avoided disaster in vain?
Xia Duo quickly stopped the chaotic marriage-seeking behavior on the field, and then unmarked the family members who had gathered based on the expressions of the marked ones, allowing those who did not gather their families to continue gathering their families, but this time he only gave three
Quota.
Another half hour passed like this before the number of people in the phalanx next to Xia Duo stabilized. The final number made him smile bitterly, and it actually exceeded 20,000!
