Chapter 1130 The Immaculate
"Slaves who can fight? They are not easy to train. They are selected from the best ones, and their prices are higher." Upon hearing this, the slave trader's eyes lit up.
"I know that. You just need to tell me if you have the product. The price can be negotiated."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"The goods are available. They are here."
The slave trader led a few people into the slave market.
The group walked through huge wooden cages filled with ragged slaves. There were men, women, young and old, of all races. Some of them had originally gorgeous clothes of good quality. Two of them could be vaguely seen to be wearing the original lobster soldiers' uniforms, but now they were tattered and looked no different from beggar's clothes.
"These are officials, wealthy businessmen, or deserters who have made mistakes. Some of them were simply framed by others because of their wealth. Under the laws of the empire, they are already dead. The executioner simply signed an execution order and sold them here to squeeze out the last bit of money."
Yin Lishabai quietly explained the science to Zhang Tuohai.
"The imperial officials don't care about this matter?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Who is in charge? Everyone has a share of the profits here. This slave market, all the officials in Pearl City, from the governor to the port guards, everyone has a share of the income. Who would care? Who dares to care? If anyone cares, it will go against everyone's pockets. So no one cares, and over time it has become like this."
Yin Lisa Bai said.
"However, the slaves here are mainly captured from indigenous tribes, and the rest are vagrants and beggars. Haven't you noticed that there is not a single beggar or vagrant in the entire Pearl City and the surrounding towns? They are all here."
Yin Lisabai pointed at the rows of cages and said.
Linda couldn't help but shudder when she heard what Yin Lishabai said.
If she hadn't boarded Zhang Tuohai's ship, she would probably have gone into the city and become a wanderer, then been captured and sold as a slave in a cage.
If they are luckier, they may be bought by a lecherous male master, who will ravage them, and throw them to his subordinates when they get tired of playing with them. When the subordinates get tired of playing with them, they will throw them to the slaves as their wives, and give birth to the next generation of slaves.
If you are unlucky, you will be sold to various clubs as technicians, and then tortured to death by those perverted customers.
It’s chilling to think about it.
Feeling Linda trembling, Zhang Tuohai smiled and rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't sell you. Your cooking skills are pretty good, and the kitchen needs a helper. In addition, the agreement is valid. Within three months, if you can gain weight, I will teach you how to kill horse bandits."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Thank you." Linda replied in a low voice, with a faint sound of sobbing.
The group followed the slave trader, passed through rows of wooden cages, and came to the back, which was the essence of the entire slave market.
The main selling point is a group of carefully trained dancers and a group of combat slaves.
These slaves were all born to slave parents, and were second or even third generation slaves. They were brought up from childhood and were very obedient. They were trained to be obedient from childhood, and only after they passed the test would they be taught various skills and techniques. Each one of them was a top-notch slave.
"These are the combat slaves I carefully trained. They are called the Unsullied. They are absolutely obedient. Even if you ask them to die, they will do it immediately. They are also very strong in combat. Each of them can fight a lion and win. Therefore, their price is also a bit higher. Each one costs 20,000 dinars."
The slave trader rubbed his hands and said.
Zhang Tuohai looked at these slaves. Unlike the slaves in the cages before, these combat slaves called Unsullied were not in cages. All of them were sitting on the ground. Everyone was wearing leather armor, through which one could vaguely see their angular muscles and scars. Shields, javelins and scimitars were neatly placed beside them.
"Can you show it to me?" Zhang Tuohai asked the slave trader.
"Of course." The slave trader swung the whip in his hand and shouted, "Unsullied, stand up!"
Swish!
The Unsullied stood up in unison, holding up shields and weapons.
Everyone moved in unison, like puppets.
"Form a shield formation."
Swish!
The Unsullied raised their great shields and huddled together, thrusting the javelins in their hands through the gaps in the shields like a giant hedgehog.
"go ahead!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Unsullied advanced in an orderly manner, with shield arrays and spears slowly advancing forward. Even though their target was not Zhang Tuohai, Zhang Tuohai could still feel the waves of murderous aura.
"receive!"
cried the slave trader, cracking his whip.
Swish!
All the Unsullied put away their weapons and shields and stood still.
"You can choose an Unsullied to fight a lion, but there will be an additional fee."
The slave trader said.
"Can."
Zhang Tuohai threw over a bag of dinars.
The merchant took the bag and shook it gently twice, and he roughly knew how many dinars were in the bag, and a big smile appeared on his face.
"I'll be right there."
Soon, a lion was put into a wooden cage and pushed over.
The lion was obviously newly captured and was still very violent and wild. It was obviously not the kind of lion that had been tamed for a long time by a circus.
"You, go fight that lion."
Zhang Tuohai casually pointed at a shorter Unsullied and said.
The Unsullied did not move.
Bang!
The slave trader whipped the ground with his whip: "Follow the orders of our guests!"
After receiving the order, the Unsullied entered another huge cage.
The cage containing the lion was pushed in front of the door of the big cage, and then someone opened the door.
When the lion saw the door was opened, it jumped out of the cage and rushed towards the Unsullied.
Swish!
The javelin in the Unsullied's hand pierced straight into the lion's throat and exited from the back of its head.
Clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements.
Many people even just blinked and it was all over.
"The spear thrust was very steady and accurate. It looked like he had practiced for at least ten years. The slave trader was not lying."
Zhang Tuohai had a rough idea of the strength of this Unsullied.
"How many does the customer plan to buy?" asked the slave trader, rubbing his hands.
“Buy them all.”
Zhang Tuohai glanced at all the Unsullied in the venue. There were forty of them in total, and the total value was 800,000 dinars.
Well, that’s equivalent to eight of his bounties.
"Really? If you really buy all these Unsullied, I can give you a free song and dance girl. You can choose any one of these song and dance girls."
The slave trader rubbed his hands together and said excitedly.
Zhang Tuohai turned to look at Yin Lisha Bai and said, "Pay the money."
