Chapter 41: Bondage Camp
"Earl Xianbao? I heard that he is just a young boy. Humph, he is not honest when he comes to the capital.
My grandfather made a lot of achievements back then, but he was just a viscount, but that boy, huh..." A nobleman said to his friends at the reception, looking quite unhappy.
"Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense. I heard that the Duke of Alama is standing behind Baron Leo. Don't offend anyone casually. In recent years, the situation in our Lion Realm has changed too fast and there has been a lot of turmoil. We still
Be careful in what you say and do!" The friend next to him said this.
Indeed, over the years, the Kingdom of the Lion Realm seems to have experienced a bit of turmoil, with civil unrest everywhere. Of course, this is not the main thing. How can the unrest of mere civilians be compared to the well-equipped and adequately trained regular army?
Not to mention the knights who are almost killing gods on the battlefield, the civil unrest in the Lion Realm was doomed from the beginning, but for these nobles, the greater crisis may come from the dynasty.
Or rather, it comes from the one who sits high on the Silver Throne, the moody King Ulric. That is the real source of danger.
…
At this time, Leo was in a good mood. All the tasks for this trip were completed. He also got what he wanted, and even the harvest far exceeded expectations.
At this time, the goods in the caravan have not been completely sold, and it will take some time to buy the things he wants to buy. Leo was idle for a while. Fortunately, he left the tavern and went out to take a look around this huge royal capital.
Lion City is the royal capital of the old Pendor and the current kingdom, and the center of the entire Pendor continent. There is no doubt about its prosperity. Ordinary civilians walking on the road have a kind of confidence that is difficult to see in other places.
"Lord Baron, in front of you is Bailing Trading Street." A man in white clothes said respectfully to Leo beside him. This is the tour guide Leo is looking for, an authentic native of Lion City. For this huge place,
The royal capital is very familiar.
"Bailing Trading Street?" Leo suddenly became interested. This is a very famous trading street in the capital, and it has almost everything.
"Let's go, take me to see the binder camp first," Leo thought for a while and said.
The binder camp is a good name. A binder is a person who is tied up. Of course, it is not really tied up, but it is used to refer to slaves. After all, slaves are not a glorious thing, and they can be brought to the binder camp.
Most of the slaves have been trained for customers to choose from.
chaos……
This was Leo's first feeling. It was a rather pungent smell. It was quite incompatible with the spaciousness, grandeur, and cleanliness shown before in Bailing Trading Street. It was surrounded by chaos because of the terrain.
, the light is not very sufficient, which makes this place look very dark.
However, it is worth mentioning that this rather large Binding Camp is heavily guarded. The streets where it is located are even patrolled by a Lion Guard and more than ten Lion Halberdiers!
Of course, such vigilance is indeed applicable to this binder camp. After all, the slaves who can be sent here for selection are absolutely extraordinary. If there is even the slightest mistake, in this big king
Yes, that's a big deal.
"May I ask who you are?" The steward of the bondage camp greeted several people with just the right enthusiasm, and then asked about the identities of Leo and others. According to regulations, only nobles are eligible to buy slaves in this bondage camp.
"This is my master, Earl Richard, who was conferred by His Majesty the King." The tour guide Laton said very proudly.
"It turns out to be Count Leo!" The steward's smile was full of surprise and astonishment, as if he had been expecting everyone to arrive, making people feel extremely friendly and comfortable. "Are you here to buy some slaves that you want?"
"That's natural. I've been a little short on manpower recently, and I want to come here to choose some smart and loyal slaves." Leo also said with a smile.
"Then the earl has found the right person," the steward said very aptly, "the largest slave trading group in the entire Lion Kingdom is serving us.
Our Bai Ke Chamber of Commerce has an extremely skilled process specifically designed to tame efforts and avoid various problems that may arise. The slaves in this bondage camp are all of the highest quality and are absolutely difficult to find outside.
Sir Earl, I will accompany you for a walk."
"Well, okay," Leo nodded lightly, but he did not ask about the price first like an ordinary nobleman. Seeing such a situation, the manager was in a better mood. It seemed that the new man was in a better mood.
The lord who was granted the title of earl does not look like a master who is short of money.
In addition to the previous rumors, the other party presented a treasure that was enough to make King Ulric happy. Apparently, his family was very rich, and it seemed that he had come into a large business.
"My lord, please come this way." The steward led Leo out of a side corridor and entered a suddenly wide courtyard. Leo also looked slightly sideways. This was the royal capital, and it could have such a large area.
The land is indeed not simple.
The huge land is very empty, and apart from the standing guards, there are brick houses one after another.
What makes people notice is that the outside of the brick house is blocked by iron fences one after another, and only the passage is the only entrance.
Swipe and pull...
The steward stepped forward and pulled it slightly, and a space suddenly appeared above the brick house. Pay attention to let people see the scene inside from the outside. This is a rather simple house, with five or six extremely majestic people inside.
burly chap.
"This is a small team of adventurers from the Tek Barbarians. The leader is a powerful barbarian who is as high as level 5, and the rest are all at level 4. They have been together for just one day, otherwise they would have been sold long ago.
"The steward Phil introduced it warmly, "Sir, what do you think?
This small group of Tek barbarians can only be packaged and sold together and cannot be broken up, and it will cost about four thousand dinars."
Leo was also a little surprised at four thousand dinars. It really wasn't a small business. It cost four thousand dinars for a team of six people. This was really not cheap. No wonder not many people came here to see it.
Four thousand dinars were all the liquid assets of the Archimonde family back then. A dignified baron, or a decent businessman from the River City, could only afford one here.
Team?
Leo smiled bitterly in his heart. Fortunately, he had already made money before, otherwise he would only be able to guess here for a look.
Also, is this a Tek barbarian?
Leo once again took a look at the opponent's bulging muscles. He seemed to have amazing strength, and the bronze skin also looked very resistant to beatings. The skin looked rough and scarred, and it seemed that it was indeed what the steward said.
What a rare good product.
If these people dare to sell it at such a high price, it is not an inflated price.
"No rush, take your time and take a look," Leo was not in a hurry. After all, there were so many, how could he make a hasty decision after just looking at one?
"Here are twelve Fieldsway axemen," the steward once again opened a gap in another room, and then said respectfully to Leo, "Although these people are more, they only cost one thousand taels."
At one hundred dinars, it is considered to be of high quality and low price.”
Pointless……
Leo shook his head slightly, showing a somewhat disappointed look. These were just ordinary civilian soldiers from a foreign country, although the civilian species of Fieldsway were much stronger than those of the Fierce Lion Kingdom.
But that's all. Now, under his intense training, his subordinates are not too weak. Spending such a large price to buy a team of civilians is simply a waste of money. The opponent's ones are worth selling.
Cultivation, for him, is just a matter of time.
Therefore, Leo's nature is not high.
really……
Seeing this scene, the steward secretly said that indeed, these are just slightly outstanding slaves, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet Leo's needs in front of him.
"Phil, is it possible that the Bai Ke Chamber of Commerce is so famous that it can only have high-level slaves?" For a moment, Leo was also quite speechless.
"Sir, please calm down," Steward Phil also apologized hastily, "Sir, I do not have the authority to take you to see higher-level slaves. That requires an extremely complicated declaration process.
Not to mention wasting time, the prices inside are sky-high, so there is no need." Phil said helplessly.
Hearing this, Leo frowned slightly. Indeed, he heard what it meant. Simply put, he was not qualified yet. It would probably take a lot of time to apply. That's right. How can those truly top-notch efforts be so easy?
Can you buy it?
Besides, the price of such a slave is also a terrible figure. Leo felt that he really couldn't afford it, so he shook his head helplessly, "That's it, Phil, pick some better ones for me."
,Let me see."
"Don't worry, Lord Earl, you will definitely like this next one," Phil said with a smile on his lips and bowed to Leo, "Please come with me.
This one may still be in there, but please believe that it will definitely satisfy you."
Seeing Phil's confidence, Leo also felt a bit deeply curious and followed him in.
Good guy, he has an outrageously strict guard, four fully armed eighth-level mercenary infantry cavalry, and a total of twelve sixth-level mercenary warriors to guard him. Every one of them is particularly terrifying.
A room that was much larger than the previous eight-person room was very spacious and much more beautiful from the outside. This made Leo even more surprised. Who are the people inside?
"Sir, please take a look," Steward Naphil said with a smile and opened one side of the curtain that was used to block the view, allowing Leo to see clearly the scene inside. There were two stunningly beautiful women in the middle, which was just shocking.
The strange thing is that the other party's long white hair seems to be quite out of place.
However, the faint coldness coming from his body still makes people feel astonished and lost.
