The Ugliest Rat People

As expected, when the captives set off again and passed by the foundry workshop, the grain depot, and the barracks that had been half-built, a supervisor came forward and pointed at the crowd, choosing the slave workers that he liked.

The warriors of the capture team, on the other hand, bargained with the supervisors.

They pried open the mouths of the captives so that the supervisors could see how sharp and beautiful the teeth of the captives were.

Then, they kneaded the captives' bones so hard that they made cracking sounds. The captives bared their teeth to prove how healthy and strong they were so that they could ask the supervisors for more bone coins that were made from the bones of totem beasts.

However, the strongest or most agile captives were not for sale.

The warriors put bags made of mandrake leaves on the captives' heads, indicating that they were not for sale.
