Chapter XXIX

There are actually two places in the whole city of Elichar, the real "city that never sleeps". One is the central city of Fei Leng Cui Boulevard, where more than 80 percent of the Federation's luxury stores and high-end consumption venues are concentrated, and it is a real brightly lit entertainment center, known as a paradise on earth.

Another place is the slave market in Minato.

Every day before dawn, groups of slaves were brought here from all over the country, and they were packed in cages with white powder on their ankles, indicating that they were slaves to be sold. They wore wooden plaques around their necks with their age, skills, and the names given by their slave owners.

Some of these slaves were disadvantaged magnates, criminals, prisoners of war, and, of course, refugees from the Federation. Unable to live, they have to exchange the last bit of capital - the last bit of freedom and dignity of human beings for the right to live.

When Lu Xi entered the slave market, he saw several blacksmiths beating the shackles with hammers, one man dressed as a rich man had chosen the slave, and the other blacksmith had scalded the slave's back with a red-baked iron.

Amid the screams of the slaves, Mary hides behind Lucy in fear, and Jock is terrified, though it is not his first time.

A woman of all the same size and appearance stood almost naked on the next stage, her face showing a look of despair that was almost numb, and she was in a commotion under the rude fiddling and scolding of the slave traders, and even had to expose her private position, which caused the potential customers in the audience to make a heckling sound.

"Today's goods are actually very ordinary...... Lu Xi vaguely recognized such a discordant voice in the crowd of coaxing.

"It's all refugees, and there are prisoners brought from prisons, how can they get better?" Another voice retorted: "It's really an underground auction in Summer Dream Island, that's only for big people." Can you? ā€

Lu Xi carefully protected the child behind him, walking in such an environment with an expressionless face, but he sighed silently in his heart: "It's really a wonder!" May the glory of the Federation shine forever in the despair of the slaves! ā€

He is flanked by a row of dragon-like cages, in which humans stay like animals, waiting for their "future masters" to meet them. All the original sins in the world seemed to be torn naked in front of Lu Xi in this long dragon, bloody.

The magician's outfit quickly attracted the attention of others, and a businessman wearing a small hat quickly ran to Lu Xi's side.

"Ah, my lord, you're here to buy slaves, aren't you? We've got the best here. ā€

"Goods?" This word made Lu Xi suddenly have the urge to kill, and he stroked the hilt of the sword on his waist meaningfully, and the staff held in his right hand slammed the ground hard. The merchant smiled flatteringly, and he mistakenly thought that the face-faced guest was moved.

"Yes, we have a lot of healthy young adults here, but they are good at work."

"Oh, if you have orchards and farms, you can buy peasant women in the small ones, they are ingenious and honest......"

"Oh, by the way, you're still a respected magician. There are also some minotaurs caught from the ground, all of them are strong, not only can they charge on the battlefield, even if you want to use them for real yĆ n, they are much better than ordinary humans. At least, the staying power is much better. Hehe, haha......"

The merchant laughed a few words and then stopped laughing, because his bad taste did not elicit a response at all.

He laughed awkwardly a few times, then remembered something, approached Lu Xi, lowered his voice and said, "If the adults are interested, we still have a lot of young and beautiful chicks here, and they are all virgins." ā€ā€¦,

Jock was about to rush up and punch and kick the shrunken fellow, but was stopped by Mary, who almost burst into flames of anger in her gaze.

"Where are the slaves sent from the detention center in the city? Take me there. Lu Xi said expressionlessly.

"Alas, but the guests, not every prisoner sent by the prison is voluntary, and all of them are still very rebellious, and they are not trained at all......

"Lead the way, this is yours." Lu Xi looked at the other party expressionlessly, and threw a golden milla.

The merchant was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly rejoiced.

"Cam, Dura! You two show me a show! He shouted to his two lieutenants, and then gave Lu Xi a flattering smile and gesture, "My lord, please come with me." ā€

Compared with the stalls of the big slave owners, the slave stalls brought by the guards were indeed much smaller, and the men who watched the stalls were also listless and dressed in jailer clothes, which was obviously different from those exquisite merchants.

"Old Noka, it seems that your business is not good today." The merchant said to the jailer.

The jailer raised his flabby eyelids and glanced at the other party, like an old dog basking in the sun: "It's you, why don't you go to see your stall, why do you come to me?" ā€

"Alas, don't say I don't take care of you, no, help you bring the guests."

"Guest." Noka's eyes lit up, and he immediately found Lu Xi and the other three people following behind.

"My lord, alas, hello, alas, no, you are welcome to the shop......"

Lu Xi looked at the other party expressionlessly, and his cold gaze suddenly made the other party feel excited.

"Don't lead the way!" The merchant secretly kicked the other party.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Noka and the merchant walked in front, leading the way, selling the caged slaves one by one in detail. What name, age, what specialties do you have, etc. Lu Xi ignored it, just kept looking for the jade-colored figure in one cage after another.

"Sister Jade!" Jock let out a sound of surprise and quickly ran to a cage.

Jade was sitting in the cage, her clothes were torn in a few places, but there was no blood, but her expression was a little haggard. Unlike the other slaves, she was not only shackled around her neck and wrists, but also bound tightly by several thick chains.

"What's going on!?" Lu Xi stared at the two of them, and there was already a trace of anger in his voice.

The jailer named Noka quickly wiped his sweat and cried bitterly: "Ahhh Adult, don't you know, this chick is amazing, don't look at her thin skin and tender flesh, but I don't know where the strange power comes from, it has already broken several of my cages. I had no choice but to lock her up...... Such a troublesome slave, I don't know how to sell it. ā€

"Nonsense! Sister Jade is not a slave at all, you forced her to get her. Jock shouted, and Mary looked at each other angrily.

Lu Xi looked coldly at the two sweaty jailers and the merchant, and then at the girl in the cage.

"How much?"

"Ah, you say?"

"How much?!"

"Ah, my lord, you see, although this chick is a little wild, she is still a beauty no matter how you say it......"

"How much!?"

"Well, look, it's just ten Mira."

"Ten!" Jock and Mary exclaimed at the same time, it was definitely a lot of money for them.

"Bump!" A bag containing gold and silver coins was thrown into Noka's hands.

"Count them yourself. I'm going to take her away! Lu Xi didn't even bother to look at the jailer with a happy face, he was already ready to open the cage.

"Wait, I'm twenty meters!" A voice rang out nearby.
