"In Marienburg, business is business...!"
——Vander Guber-Schultz, "The Moneylender", Grand Duke of Marienburg.
The Marienburg Talent Market is the largest slave trade in the mainland. Here, as long as they have money, buyers can buy almost all the creatures that can be bought in the mainland.
Whether it is a serf, a defeated soldier, or even a lady of a bankrupt aristocrat, from halflings who are good at housework and housekeeping to barbarians who are rudely suited to be bodyguards, from the blonde Nord to the black-haired and black-eyed South National races, even dwarves and ogres, can be bought at the Marienburg Talent Market.
But if you say which kind of person is the most valuable, it is no better than the 'jing' spirits with pointed ears.
'Jing' spirits are divided into three types, namely higher'jing' spirits, dark'jing' spirits, wood'jing' spirits, which are referred to as high'jing', dark'jing', and wood'jing', collectively referred to as three' Jing', every time there is a'jing' spirit slave appearing in the talent market, it will cause a frantic looting. The'jing' spirits have good looks and elegant temperament, and they are especially liked by the human nobles.
Only high-level "jing" spirits will not appear in the market, because the high-level "jing" embassy will interfere with the captive high-level "jing" spirits, and the high-level "jing" ambassadors will negotiate with the Marienburg House to pass the negotiated procedure Redemption of precious population, and the dark'jing' spirit and wood'jing' spirit are no longer protected.
"There is a dark'jing' spirit? It's really rare, but it's no wonder, I don't know why, humans always have a special addiction to'jing' spirits." Ryan murmured at Emilia casually.
"Does the sir like the'jing' spirit too?" Emilia did not dress up as a'maid' servant today. She looked like Ryan's'female' companion. Seeing Ryan spoke in a very casual tone, she was kind Asked, his big eyes blinking.
After staying with Ryan for more than two weeks, the 'girl' child became much more cheerful, which also made Ryan feel strange.
"Whatever, I'm here to buy a'maid' servant to help you today, not to see if she is beautiful, and can do well with her hands and feet." On the one hand, Ryan came out and planned to come out for a while. , On the other hand, is to add a helper to Emilia. As for the so-called dark spirit, he really didn't intend to bid.
However, he has just recently entered the talent market with his reputation. There are groups of nobles and merchants who come to ask for help. After all, this continent is respected by the strong. Ryan is only twenty-five years old and is already a knight who has passed the ranks. Many of the second-rate knights' heads are stronger, and fools know that he will be a holy knight in the future, so the nobles and merchants tried to impress him.
If you have money, you have to spend your life. In making good friends and hiring bodyguards, the merchants in Marienburg are not stingy.
"Fortunately, Mr. Lane! Are you here today for that "female" dark" spirit?" Adelbert-Casa, Viscount Casanova, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of the Gentlemen's Union and the second person in the House of Marienburg Nova came up with a smile: "If Mr. Lane is interested, we can sell it!"
"Yeah, yeah!" The crowd around Ryan responded in a sudden, and the heads of several major chambers of commerce in Marienburg were all here.
"Hahaha! Thank you everyone, but I just plan to add a'maid' servant to the house today. By the way, it's not the kind of excitement you think, otherwise someone will suddenly come down to show me a good look." Respond politely one by one, and then humorously said that he was just looking at it casually. If you dare to'chaos', someone will have an opinion.
Everyone roared with laughter. Everyone knows that Ryan and Jialan's witch are very close. It seems that she is a witch who likes to be jealous and unwilling to share!
No one knew that Ryan was not talking about Veronica at all.
"That's OK, which'female' slave Mr. Lane looked at, even though the price is asking, we all understand." Several great nobles expressed their understanding, seeing that the auction was about to begin, everyone dispersed.
"Let's come in too!" Ryan's seat has been arranged by the person in charge in the market, so he took Emilia to take a seat. The seat for two people is a small box, and Emilia tidied up the hem of her coat He Tong skirt, sat beside Ryan.
The auction began. All the visitors were sitting around the huge stage between the markets. Under the shining of magic lights, one by one slaves were brought, led, and transported in cages under the leadership of slave merchants. of.
In the beginning, there were some miscellaneous "hairy", such as serfs who sold themselves or civilians who were accidentally captured by avoiding war "chaos". Ryan didn't have any interest in this. He just chatted with Emilia: "Amy Leah, if you didn't escape to become a mercenary, would you also become a slave?"
"Maybe, it might be worse to be a slave." Emilia was sitting like an obedient'woman', with a pair of small hands on her knees. The'girl' child wears long cotton socks today, only on the side of her boots. The underside of the skirt was a little shorter. Ryan bought a lot of clothes and stockings for her that day, but the best clothes, "girls", were reluctant to wear them, and they were kept precious in their own room.
"I think you can definitely sell for a good price~" Ryan grinned and deliberately joked: "You are so beautiful. There must be a lot of big nobles and big merchants who are willing to buy you back to be your wife, especially if you are a tall brother. Special language, literacy, mathematics, and politeness."
"Sir~" Emilia raised her head weakly, she knew Ryan was joking.
"Hahahaha~"
After a while, some valuable slaves gradually began to appear. For example, a dwarf blacksmith caused many chambers of commerce and nobles in the field to compete for bids, but Ryan stayed still, he just watched coldly: "This dwarf turns around. It is estimated that there are still three hundred catties, and he does not seem to be suitable for being a'maid' servant."
"Hahahaha~" Emilia snickered, covering her mouth.
After several consecutive auctions, Ryan finally found the prey he wanted-a girl with fiery red hair. She looked very honest and not particularly outstanding, but she was also more refreshing and ideal. 'Female' servant selection.
"Exhibit No. 26 is Miss Letty from the Kingdom of Estalia in the south." The auction host paused, and then continued: "This Miss Letty is sixteen years old this year, she looks pretty, although I am illiterate but very polite, able to count from one to twenty, and also do housework. It is a very suitable candidate for a servant, but if you guys here want to do something else, I have no objection!"
"Hahaha~" everyone at the auction laughed.
"The starting price is eight gold marks. Interested parties are invited to bid! One bid must not be less than fifty silver coins!" After the auctioneer shouted out, someone raised his hand sign: "Eight gold marks!"
"Eight gold and fifty silver coins!" Ryan also raised his hand sign.
The auction room became quiet for a while. The representatives of the major chambers of commerce looked at me and I looked at you. They all stopped the bidding tacitly.
The citizens in the back seat and some small businessmen saw that Ryan, a human hero who passed the ranks, wanted them, and they all stopped bidding.
The auctioneer didn't take it seriously. His loud voice continued: "Mr. Lane offered eight gold marks and fifty silver coins. Who else either?"
"Eight gold marks and fifty silver coins at a time!"
"Eight gold marks and fifty silver coins twice!"
Ryan nodded when he saw this. He thought he could withdraw after filming the 'girl' child.
"Nine gold mark!" At this moment, a person raised his own sign.
There was an uproar in the field.
"Who is it? Dare to grab something with Mr. Lane?"
"Which guy who doesn't have a lot of lust?!"
"Isn't this the Southerner? Damn Southerner, he doesn't know the rules!"
The several major chambers of commerce in Marienburg began to whisper'privately'. Viscount Adelbert-Casanova frowned, and said to Baron Greymire who was sitting next to him: "It's that southerner again, he's really stupid. I don't know the rules at all, because I hate them because of this."
Hearing someone bidding, Ryan frowned slightly and raised the sign again: "Nine gold marks and fifty silver coins!"
"Ten gold marks!" It was that person again, and he raised his placard again.
Hey~ I still encountered Kong's "fine" today, right? Ryan bid again: "Ten gold marks and fifty silver coins!"
"Eleven gold marks!" The other party bid again.
Ryan gave up and continued to bid now, and he turned his attention to the young man who bid with him.
This is a handsome man who seems to be in his early thirties. He is tall and straight, with a clear and three-dimensional appearance. He has a very elegant temperament and an extremely elegant dress. His black eyes are shining with wisdom. Seeing Ryan look over, he nodded and smiled at Ryan.
"Eleven gold marks once!"
"Eleven gold marks twice!"
"Eleven gold marks three times!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Hadrian from the Luigi Chamber of Commerce for bidding for the ownership of this Miss Letty!" The auctioneer's wooden hammer fell, announcing the completion of the auction.
Ryan was not discouraged when he missed his goal. There were many slaves coming out for auction at today's auction meeting. He didn't need to stare at a desperate fight, so he started looking for the next goal.
The auction continues.
After waiting patiently for more than a dozen consecutive auctions, another'female' child was brought in. This'female' child looked very pitiful. She had a cute baby face, emerald green pupils and brown color. His long hair, slender eyebrows and cute dimples, wearing a simple dress, shivered with cold in winter.
"This is the'daughter' of the Knights of the Angel Feather'Mao' of the Southern Kingdom of Tyrell. Her name is Miranda!" The auctioneer laughed loudly: "Her poor father failed in the war and went bankrupt not long ago. Now, she was sold here!"
"Hahahaha!" The citizens and nobles present laughed loudly, as if they encountered some particularly funny story.
The year before last, the emperor changed and the political situation was a bit turbulent, so the angel feather "Mao" knights of the Tyrell kingdom in the southern kingdom took the opportunity to invade the Tuscan electoral lord in the south of the empire, and the rogue knights in the south. We want to take advantage of the opportunity to get some cheap.
As a result, the violent Tuscan elector "Sun Lion" Umberto Corleone not only led his Knights of Rams to wipe out the invading enemies, but also personally led his army southward, playing triumphant songs all the way, The Angel Feather "Mao" Knights surrendered, but unreasonably hit the capital of the Kingdom of Tyrell. King Tyrell had to "hand over" a large sum of war indemnities to make the Umberto electorate. Satisfied with retiring.
This is a story especially liked by the empires. It tells the self-defeating ability of the southerners and also shows the power of the empire.
"I believe everyone has seen this. This Miss Miranda is sweet and lovely. She is only sixteen years old this year. She can read and write. She has also learned traditional aristocratic etiquette, and she is in good health. She is still a perfect body! She needs someone to give birth to herself. People of blood, hurry up!" The auctioneer said loudly, "The starting price is one hundred golden marks, and each bid is not less than five golden marks!"
"One Hundred Gold Mark!" Ryan looked at it and felt very satisfied, so he immediately called for the price.
Seeing Ryan bidding, many interested nobles died down, waiting for the next product.
"One hundred and ten golden marks!" Who knew it was that handsome man again, he raised his sign.
"One hundred and fifteen golden marks!" Ryan raised his eyebrows and continued to increase the price.
"One hundred and fifty gold marks!" The handsome man smiled at Ryan politely and continued to increase the price.
"One Hundred and Fifty Hardware Marks!"
"Two hundred gold marks!" The handsome man named Hadrian continued to bid with Ryan.
"Fuck!" Ryan cursed secretly. The two hundred gold marks have exceeded his heart's bottom price. His adoptive father Norman's tax revenue in Otterne in a year is almost four hundred gold marks. He has money now, but money is not like this. 'Chaos' flowers'.
In the auction room, everyone was also shocked by Hadrian's moat. One of the noblemen saw that Ryan had given up the bid, so he tried'sexually' and shouted a two hundred and ten golden mark, and Hadrian's horse then added two. One hundred and fifty golden marks.
So the 'girl' child named Miranda was also taken away by Hadrian.
"Emmm~" Ryan felt that he might have been targeted, so he said to Emilia, "I only need someone who can work?"
"Well ~ everything is up to the husband." Emilia refused to comment.
After taking two shots, I didn't find anything. Ryan's interest was greatly reduced. After taking a few slaves one after another, an aunt was brought in. She was in her thirties, her figure was out of shape, and the skin on her face was too long. His work has become rough and rough, but at first glance he can do dirty work, so Ryan thought that no one should grab this aunt with me, right?
He was wrong.
When Hadrian saw that Ryan had taken the shot, he immediately bid with him. The aunt, whose original price was only fifty silver coins, was bid by the two men for five gold marks and didn't stop. Obviously, this product was going to compete with Ryan.
Ryan's face was as black as ink, and he was furious, so the Genome patted the table lightly and stood up: "Emilia, let's go."
"Okay, sir." Emilia noticed that there was a deep palm print on the table. The'maid' stood up quickly and followed him, and the two people walked directly outside the venue one after the other. go.
Just stepping out of the auction, seeing the snowy and icy world outside, Ryan had not had time to breathe fresh air, and a man who looked like a housekeeper immediately stopped them: "Hello! Mr. Ryan! Fortunately to introduce myself, I am Mr. Hadrian. My housekeeper, I am very, very sorry for our disrespect!"
The butler's attitude was extremely humble, and his bow was almost over ninety degrees.
"So? Are you showing off for your master?" Ryan replied without emotion.
"No! That's not the case! Mr. Lane, what I want to say is that Mr. Hadrian wants to'make' a friend with you! At the auction, the slaves that Mr. Lane watched will be given away immediately after the auction. Go to Mr. Lane!" The butler could feel the pressure of Lane's body. It was a kind of imperial dignity experienced in the blood and blood of the corpse. He immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time bends lower.
"At the same time, in addition to these, Mr. Hadrian is also willing to offer a big gift to Mr. Lane! After this auction is over."
"Mr. Hadrian really wants to'make' a friend with Mr. Lane!"
