Chapter 232: Where the Slave Is
All the clothes cost more than 6 gold coins in total!
This clothing store sells some fine clothes, which are specially supplied to the aristocracy, and it is no wonder that the prices are high.
Jia Zhengjin changed into a silk robe, adding a bit of luxury. If you don't know him, you will think that he is the son of a noble family. And Tina, Perrin, and Christina also bought a beautiful set of dresses, and after changing them, they all became Miss Daughter.
Only Cindy was covered in black robes and looked like a mysterious religious figure.
Next, Jia Zhengjin took a few girls to the jewelry store and spent ten gold coins to order beautiful earrings, gemstone necklaces, rings, badges and the like for them. After being carefully dressed, she looks more like a noble daughter.
"Keane, where are we going next?" asked Tina, who was in a cheerful mood, "where are you going to get information dressed like this?"
"Just follow me!" Jia Zhengjin took them around the city, and finally entered a relatively high-end tavern.
There were almost no commoners in the tavern, and the people who came and went were nobles and wealthy merchants. The consumer price is also very terrifying, and the cheapest liquor costs 1 gold coin! You must know that in the taverns of the common people, one gold coin is enough for them to drink for months!
The tavern has a special resting place for noble ladies and rich daughters, and male customers and staff are not allowed to enter and leave at will. However, you can see a lot of gorgeously dressed ladies drinking wine and chatting in that area from a distance, and the scene is very lively.
Jia Zhengjin didn't expect that there was a special area for ladies in the tavern. But it just so happened that Tina, Perrin, and Christina could go in and chat with those aristocratic ladies and rich daughters. And he himself took Cindy, who was wrapped in a black robe, to drink outside.
In this tavern, except for a kind of wine called [Flame], which has a relatively high degree, the other wines are basically very light, not so much wine, but rather a drink! And what Jia Zhengjin is drinking now is a high-end drink with two gold coins and a cup.
Tina took more than a hundred gold coins from Jia Zhengjin, and the three of them were definitely enough. The soldiers split up to observe and listen to information from the customers here.
Even during the day, there are quite a few customers in the tavern.
Jia Zhengjin looked at Tina and the three girls from a distance, and soon sat down with some aristocratic ladies and rich daughters to talk and chat, saying in his heart that he couldn't admit defeat. So he looked around carefully, and then found a middle-aged man with a goatee who was already a little drunk.
The middle-aged man with a goatee wore an expensive silk coat, a sword-encrusted with jewels at his waist, and several empty flaming bottles in front of his table. His face was flushed and his eyes were bloodshot. Seeing Jia Zhengjin sitting down in front of his desk, he squinted his eyes and looked up and down, and then asked with the smell of wine in his mouth, "Who are you?"
"Why do you have to know each other when you meet?" Jia Zhengjin picked up his wine glass and smiled, "I toast you!"
The middle-aged man with a goatee was slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt that his way of speaking was a little strange and interesting: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet? Hehe! Okay, cheers!"
After the two drank a glass of wine, the middle-aged man with a goatee drunkenly picked up the wine bottle and shook it: "No wine......
"Waiter," Jia Zhengjin immediately beckoned, "Order here!"
The tavern waiter came right over.
"A bottle of flame, another bottle of Demas!"
"Okay, please wait!" the waiter quickly brought two bottles of wine.
"Come, please drink!" Jia Zhengjin handed the flame to the middle-aged man with a goatee who was already drunk.
"Please me?" the goatee-middle-aged man burped.
"That's right!
The middle-aged man was already too drunk, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately took the wine bottle and unscrewed the lid: "Good wine!"
The two drank a few more glasses to each other. During the conversation, Jia Zhengjin learned that he was the Baron Chad of Tansandia City.
The duke is the lowest title. Especially in a capital city like Tanzandia, there are as many barons as dogs!
So Baron Chad can only be regarded as a petty nobleman here.
The baron had no public office or his own business, and lived on the monthly knighthood given by the king.
Although the title is quite generous, he is a heavy drinker, and basically spends it before the end of the month.
Drunk people are the easiest to talk to, Jia Zhengjin drank with him while knocking on the side, and soon got the information he wanted.
He learns from Baron Chad that there is a secret slave auction house in Tansandia City. The auction house is controlled by the largest chamber of commerce in Tansandia City, and basically once a week a major auction is held.
In the auction, slaves of all races could be put up for auction, and the participants ranged from kings and officials to commoners and wealthy merchants, as long as they had money!
As the most precious commodity, elven slaves often appear in auction houses, but the number is relatively rare.
These elven slaves were basically bought by the nobles, and a small number entered the palace and became the king's secret collection!
However, this week's auction has just ended, and we will have to wait about five or six days for the next time!
Jia Zhengjin drunk Baron Chad until he fell asleep on the table.
Soon after, Tina, Perrin, and Christina came out to join him, and they all returned to the hotel.
The three girls also got valuable information: in Tansandia City, the Duke of Darren had the most elven slaves. It is said that in the dungeon of the Duke's house, at least eighty slaves of the elven clan were imprisoned.
And the most important piece of information is that all the elven slaves in the last auction were taken away by Duke Darren!
In other words, the main target this time, Centier's fiancé Claude, is likely to be in Duke Darren's dungeon.
There are so many elven slaves, it is impossible to save them all! Therefore, the primary target is Claude, and the other elven slaves can only save as much as they can!
Elven slaves rarely found their way into commoner households, with exceptions but extremely rare. Basically, they were all imprisoned in the private cells of officials and nobles.
The residences of officials and nobles were separate from those of commoners. The civilian residential area is located on the outskirts of Tansandia City, near the city walls. The residences of officials and nobles were located in the interior of Tanzantia City, surrounding the king's palace.
If you can get the keys to these cells, you can unknowingly release the imprisoned elven slaves!
Jia Zhengjin decided to go in person at night, there is a stealth cloak, basically there should be no big problem!
