Chapter 68 Northern Barbarians
The boss smiled and spit out a price that stunned Suso.
"Five hundred golden eagle coins?! Why don't you go and grab it?"
The boss's face suddenly darkened, he turned his head and spat on the ground.
"This is the price of my slave, buy it or not!"
Seeing that Su Suo was quarreling with the other party, Alexander gently pulled him, looked at the other house, and asked Wen Yan: "Boss, how do you sell the slaves of skilled craftsmen here?"
The slave trader seemed to sense the extraordinaryness of the other party. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Suso standing aside, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, the slaves here are better than those at Old Adam's.
Much cheaper, 499 gold eagle coins for one craftsman slave."
"How do I remember that the price of a top craftsman slave is at most fifty gold eagle coins." As he spoke, Alexander's sharp blue eyes as sharp as an eagle stared closely at the chubby slave merchant in front of him. "Still,
Is it because the slave market in Nagesh City has always been unfriendly to outsiders?"
"this……"
Drops of oily sweat dripped from the slave trader's forehead. He hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief and forced out an ugly smile. "Sir, you, you really know how to joke."
Not even the slave merchants in the entire Nagesh City can afford this crime, let alone myself. If these words are really spread to other cities, the reputation that the Nagesh City Slave Market has finally accumulated will be seriously damaged.
A blow. When the taxation of Nagsh City is affected, not to mention themselves, even Master Hoster will suffer.
"Sir, to be honest, this is what I said above, and I can only say so much."
The fat slave trader quietly pointed upward with his finger, and Alexander immediately understood what he meant.
Someone from above prevented them from buying slaves. The county magistrate was not as good as the current ones. Faced with the pressure from above, these unprincipled businessmen suddenly gave in.
Su Suo was not stupid and immediately understood the twists and turns. He felt very uncomfortable about such a thing happening.
Faced with this situation, the two of them knew that they could no longer visit the slave market.
"Alexander, I'm very sorry. If it weren't for me that Horst deliberately targeted us, we would be leaving the city now."
Standing at the gate of the slave market, Suso apologized to Alexander with a look of shame.
Alexander waved his hand to comfort the other person.
"Don't take it to heart. This matter is not your fault in the first place. You know, no one can change your background."
"Um, gentlemen, please forgive me for interrupting your conversation."
A slightly restrained voice came from the side.
When the two of them took a look, they saw that it was a gray dwarf who was only as tall as his waist. This guy had a bald head and a long beard on his chin, almost touching the ground. The beard was braided into several locks, with a
The golden metal hoops are tied together and look quite unique.
"Derwars in the Underdark? How dare you appear on the surface?"
Alexander was quite surprised to see gray dwarves on the surface. These guys were rare on the surface.
"Don't be surprised, this gentleman, my name is George, I'm just an ordinary employee of Dong Trading Company."
"East Trading Company is said to be a slave trading group secretly controlled by the Griffin royal family."
Suso explained to Alexander in a low voice.
The gray dwarves were the slaves and food reserves of the illithids a long time ago. Now in front of him, a gray dwarf who was born as a slave has devoted himself to the great slave trade.
emm…
Is this the legendary hero who turns into a dragon?
Alexander was speechless and looked at the gray dwarf named "George".
"So Mr. George, what do you want to do with us two?"
A smile appeared on the gray dwarf's gray face. "Gentlemen, I heard that you are worried about not being able to buy slaves?"
"At present, it seems that this is indeed the case."
"You two, I happen to have a group of good slaves in my hands. I wonder if gentlemen are interested?"
"Oh, aren't you afraid..." As he said, Alexander pointed upward with his finger.
"I am an employee of Dong Trading Company, and they have no control over Dong Trading Company!"
When he said this, George looked arrogant, as if he didn't take Horst, who was responsible for the management of the slave market, into consideration at all.
Is this where the confidence of state-owned enterprises lies? I love it!
Alexander and Suso looked at each other and smiled at the gray dwarf.
"Of course we are interested."
"Then, gentlemen, please follow me."
The best slaves that George said were not placed in the slave market, but were imprisoned in a farm less than three miles away from the slave market.
Looking at the dozens of big men in front of him, each of whom was two meters tall and with bulging muscles, Su Suo recognized their origins at a glance.
"Alexander, these are a group of northern barbarians. They are not good candidates for bodyguards."
Alexander nodded to show his understanding.
The Northland barbarians are a subspecies of human beings who live in the wilderness of the Northland all year round in the form of tribes and believe in ancestral spirits and shamanism.
Although the barbarians in the North are naturally powerful warriors, and the ancestral spirits they worship are also very powerful divine creatures, the shamans and prophets in the tribe are not inferior to the mages in the human world, but in the form of tribes
They exist, facing the orc army led by the orc gods, and they can only retreat steadily.
As a result, the chiefs of the northern barbarians had to reluctantly give up the place where they lived all year round and move around with their people.
From five hundred years ago to now, their lives have become increasingly difficult, and their living space has been squeezed smaller and smaller.
"You two, we captured these barbarians from the wilderness of the North. Look at the scars on their bodies. This is proof of elite warriors!"
The gray dwarf walked up to a Northland barbarian, poked the scar on his calf with his finger, and loudly promoted Alexander and the two.
"If I remember correctly, the warriors of the barbarians in the North only have one profession: barbarians. These guys who only have muscles in their heads don't understand what discipline is. Without the long-range support of mages, they will only be helpless.
Being reckless in the wilderness is a very dangerous thing."
Suso began to comment on the goods of his peers. There was no way, keeping prices down was the gift of every businessman.
He and Alexander didn't have as many golden eagle coins in their pockets as they had imagined.
Now, this gray dwarf is almost the only choice for the two of them.
If you want to purchase these northern barbarians to serve as escorts, then the necessary weapons and equipment also need to be considered. And this is also a huge expense. Suso, who is aspiring to become a territorial caravan manager, must have these things in mind.
This account will do.
"If these barbarians in your hands are in short supply, then it is impossible for Alexander and I to have our turn. Think about it, you just lost this batch of goods, right?"
Hearing Suso's words, Gray Dwarf George's expression suddenly changed, and then returned to his original smiling appearance.
