The slave market in Berley is very developed, and of course this also meets the needs of the local. Business owners need a large number of slaves to work for themselves, and cities need a large number of slaves to maintain the normal operation of urban infrastructure. These tasks that should have been done by ordinary people have been given to slaves. As a semi-consumable, it is not surprising that slave transactions are developed.

After all, there are not enough ordinary people in the city to do these tasks, and they can't find anyone except slaves.

This is the most different thing about Bellley and other cities. The lack of residents at the bottom makes the city's operational ability in the hands of others. Once a large number of slaves are missing and cannot be supplemented, the operation of the entire city will stop because Viscount Bellley cannot find anyone to work for him.

Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen. Charles did not consider threatening the city in this way. Viscount Berley was not the only one who was damaged when the city stopped operating. All the merchants here would suffer losses, and they would not do so to a great extent.

"The largest slave market in Berley is near the city wall, which is a free trading distribution center...", the tour guide girl from yesterday, and today only Charles was the only one. She was a little curious but she also held back. She was introducing Charles' slave market to Charles.

Every businessman knows one thing, that is, when a group of businessmen gather together, an advantageous effect can be formed, so Berley only has such a slave market, and almost all slave merchants have their own booths here.

The tour guide asked Charles carefully about the goal of buying slaves. Charles did not tell her that it was not that she didn't want to speak, but that it was unnecessary. He believed that the purpose of the girl's question must be that she also had "signed" merchants in the slave market. If she brought the customers who wanted to buy slaves, she would get some commissions, etc., but her level and the merchants she signed for were not enough.

People say that Belley's jewelry is the characteristic of Belley, but after actually coming to this city, Charles discovered that jewelry is indeed the characteristic of this place. Those merchants wearing lab coats can take out a handful of jewelry from their pockets anytime and anywhere, but slaves are also the biggest feature here.

There is no such view in Apeda. People can only imagine how many slaves they received after conquering Belley as a war dividend to allocate them to the entire city. Now this idea is a bit too happy. Belley does not have many residents.

As the shaking movement of the llama, Charles almost wanted to doze off. The shaking basket was like a cradle, with a certain rhythm and amplitude of swaying, plus the fur in the basket, it could easily destroy people's spirits.

Fortunately, the slave market arrived before he fell asleep.

Yawned Luo Ma, and the tour guide girl took him into the largest slave trading market in the country, no doubt about it.

Once you enter here, it feels like you are entering a large farmers' market. The environment here is not particularly good, and many people are not so clean on the ground. This may be the only dirty place in the city of Belley.

In particular, the ground was not only dirty, but also wet. Charles noticed that slaves were constantly using cold water to wash away the bodies of those slaves, making them look more energetic, which also led to the constant flow of water on the ground, which often made people wet their shoes.

If it were rich slave merchants, they would touch the olive oil on the valuable slaves and make the slaves greasy.

In addition to the huge signs, every slave stall sometimes shouts, which are mostly some new slaves and strong-bodied slaves. No one shouts slogans such as discounts. The price of slaves is always very stable. Whether in war or in peace, their prices will only gradually rise and it is difficult to fall.

Most slaves were tied to some poles—the collar around their necks would have a chain, and the other end of the chain was hung on the pole. If it was at home or in some places, when the chain was not needed, the slave owner could take off the chain and then hang a "dog sign".

It is marked with key information such as slave owners, transaction time, and transaction codes. If there is no chain on the slave's collar and no dog tag, then anyone can kill him or capture him. For escaped slaves, they have no right to speak of.

A group of people gathered on the side of the road, and Charles came over with curiosity. As a time traveler, he first saw this system that had been criticized by another world for dozens or hundreds of years, but when he first arrived, he did not feel so much indignation.

In the crowd, a healthy slave with a large amount of muscle was led by a slave merchant and stood on a step with people quoting prices around him, and the slave owner was constantly showing the advantages of this slave to people.

For example, his teeth were very good. The slave owner took out a crop similar to sugarcane and stuffed it into the slave's mouth. The latter easily bitten something almost full of plant fibers into pieces and spit it out. The strong bite force and better teeth represent his approximate age and health. Some people even pick up the residue spit out by the slave to see if there are any signs of bleeding on it.

Immediately afterwards, the slave owner also showed the butt of the majestic male clerk to ensure that he did not have any anorectal disease. Anorectal disease is also a common disease among slaves. This is related to conditions and hygiene. After a series of displays, people's shouting became more enthusiastic.

"Slaves like this are very popular. They can work and become gladiators through training to send them out to the competition. Even if they only win one game, their value will increase significantly..." The guide girl whispered around Charles and told the place where people's enthusiasm came from.

Compared with other slaves with soft muscles, there are indeed not so many such slaves.

In fact, slaves also have the opportunity to choose their own destiny. When they were in the slave camp, that place was not like the inhumane place some people imagined. In fact, it was very free because a large number of slaves needed a lot of rations. Whether it was a slave owner or a slave merchant, it was impossible to bear these heavy expenses without limit.

Therefore, most slave camps are more like a small village that is enclosed. Men and women will separate. They need to work and fill their stomachs. Except for a few slaves that need to be domesticated, other slaves do not need them. In this process, they can change their destiny, such as exercising their bodies, just like the one in front of them.

Having a strong body will get rid of the lowest and most dangerous job in the future. People will not use expensive slaves as consumables, only those cheap ones will. If he can become a gladiator, as long as he is lucky enough to survive, and after having his own fame and supporters, people can take the initiative to ask for a ruling battle before a gladiator is over. This is a tradition that cannot be avoided.

Next, his slave owner will arrange the last gladiator for him. If he wins, he will be free and will become the guest of the many noble ladies. Belley is rich not only men, but also women.

Nowadays, many professional gladiator operation groups work as coaches and other jobs, are slaves who have survived the ruling before. They sell themselves to slave owners or gladiator teams, but this time they are not working hard, but are responsible for training.

This is the opportunity for most slaves to change their destiny. And just when they first entered the camp, most slaves realized that their identities had changed, and they no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to work hard. They were depressed and eventually became the cheapest slaves and consumables.

After watching the strong slave being taken away by a slave owner with fifty-one gold coins, Charles continued to walk forward with the guide girl, "Where are those special slaves for sale?"

The tour guide girl was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the innermost direction of the slave market.

Along the way, Charles really had a broad vision, and all kinds of things happened here. He saw the traded slaves lined up to brand them - the slave owner would come with his own branding iron head, and the market would burn them red and hit the slaves' forehead, butt and thighs.

There is also a place to clean the body of the slaves. The executors are also slaves. They use brushes made of animal manes to brush the slaves' bodies hard until they turn red. Finally, they have to spray some alchemy medicines for disinfection and other things...

This place is like a huge farmers' market. When we walked to the end, Charles looked back and said, yes, this is a farmers' market, but what is sold here is no longer cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, but humans themselves.

The two traveled through the entire market to a beautifully decorated house, and someone was guarding the door. When Charles showed his identity as a VIP in the Sky Tower, the person who originally planned to stop them from behind lowered his head and bent down, and wanted to apologize for his unsuccessful behavior.

Shire skipped the guy directly and entered the house. As soon as he came in, a capable female salesperson took the initiative to greet him.

"Dear sir, hello, Jiabao Slaves will serve you wholeheartedly!" The female salesperson bowed slightly and asked, "Do you want to buy some slaves with special identities?" Charles nodded, and the female salesperson asked again, "So do you already have a goal?"

Charles nodded again. This time he spoke, "Are there any princesses who have lost their country, young queens, etc." He looked around and finally returned to the face of the female salesperson, "Be young, beautiful, and elegant..."
