The next day, when Siro invited several partners to inspect the goods, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling took Karanda to the slave market together. Suero’s slave market is naturally not in the inner city, but is located about one kilometer east of the outer city.
The slave market is different from other markets. It is separated by tall and thick fences, and only two doors are opened on the east and west sides. There is a team of fully armed mercenaries guarding each in front of the door. There are many towers around the market, and the mercenaries on them hold bows and arrows, vigilantly examining the movements around them. This place is more like a city than a market.
When entering the door, the mercenary stationed clearly knew Karanda, nodded and greeted her, and then looked at Xiao Chen and the others carefully before making way out and letting them in.
“The slave market is strictly investigated. If it is not brought by an acquaintance or a noble status, sometimes it is necessary to search. Those greedy and timid slave merchants are afraid of slave riots.” Kalanda said. She has lived here for many years and is naturally clear about some stories.
“Have you ever had such a thing before?” Xiao Chen carefully looked at the mercenaries coming and going at the door, and saw that they were wearing scales, long swords, and crossbow arrows on their backs, which were a little more elite than the soldiers he had hired before.
“Some people can accept their fate as slaves, but some people would rather die to fight for a chance of freedom.” Karanda said in a low voice while leading the two people in the city, “Ten years ago, someone had a riot inside and outside, and the slaves in the entire slave market escaped. The guards and merchants in the market were killed, and Suero’s outer city was also looted. At that time, even the inner city was almost beaten down. The father of Baron Gregory, the current city guard, died in battle at that time.”
“What later?” Luo Ling saw Karanda’s serious expression and secretly guessed that this matter would not have a good result.
Karanda forgot the tower on the hillside of the inner city in the distance, “Master of Spirit Eyes Taykasa took action and killed the slave leader, so that the slaves did not rush into the inner city. It is said that those people suddenly attacked each other under the influence of magic, and later were surrounded by the noble private troops of the surrounding cities, and died miserably.”
“Do you have some sympathy for those slaves?” Luo Ling asked.
Karanda hesitated, “I can’t say sympathy… They did a lot of terrible things after the riot. If I were there at that time, I would definitely fight with them. But if it weren’t for those slave merchants, they wouldn’t have faced such a fate.”
“The battle between the two classes is always the most cruel. In comparison, the war between the nobles is like a game.” Luo Ling sighed.
“What did you say?” Karanda said in confusion.
“They stand on the side of each other’s life and death, and there is no so-called ‘rules of war’. So once the slave breaks away from the shackles, the slave owner will not have good results.” Luo Ling explained.
“Okay, I’ll say that nowWhat are the old tricks? We are not slave owners. Don’t forget that we also have modern management technology. “Xiao Chen interrupted the conversation.
Luo Ling raised her chin slightly and smiled at Xiao Chen. The smile was provocative but without any words of excuse. Instead, she asked Karanda, “Where are those slaves later? “
“It’s scattered, those people have imprints on their faces, and they can’t go to the kingdom. Some became horse thieves, some crossed the border and joined the empire, and some… heard that they entered the temple of the pseudo-gods. ”
“Pseudo-God? I only heard that the people here believe in the God of Nature. “Xiao Chen said in surprise. “Pseudo…” Karanda was about to explain, but suddenly looked forward and changed her words, “I’m speechless. Let’s talk about something else. “
Xiao Chen looked along her sight and saw three people wearing green robes walking towards them. The robes were very strange, as if they were woven with vines and leaves. Although they looked crude, they were very harmonious when worn on these people.
“People from the Temple of Nature? “Xiao Chen asked in a low voice.
Karandamer nodded silently.
Xiao Chen has never dealt with people from the Natural Temple and is looking at their clothes with interest. But unexpectedly, these three people look at them

When they came to their party, they came over on their own initiative.
“Nature gives you fertility, Miss Luo, I didn’t expect to see you here. “The middle-aged man in the head was about fifty years old, with a little fat, round head, thick eyebrows, and smiling at his mouth. He looked like a businessman no matter how he stretched his arms down, spread his palms evenly, and his palms were facing upward, and he performed the etiquette of a natural temple. “Heaven and earth protect the world, Priest Roland, what a coincidence, why did you come here? “Luo Ling showed a perfect expression of surprise, touched her forehead with her hand, and gave the other party a wizard gift.
“Natural servants always have endless things to do. There are too many people in the slave market. Recently, there has been an epidemic in the north, so we have to come and have a look. “Roland explained while looking at Luo Ling’s companion, “Ah, I know this, the leader of the Blue Flame Mercenary Group. Who is this handsome young man? “
“He is the Master Xiao Chen I mentioned. “
“Ah, I feel respectful. I heard many people mention your name. “Prince Roland nodded to him, “Suero needs some fresh blood, otherwise even if people come and go, they are still full of old-fashioned atmosphere. “
“Do you think Suero needs some changes? “Xiao Chen felt that there was something implication in the priest’s words.
“The river water will not always be in the riverbed, and the mountain wind will not be nostalgic for the valley. The sageThe ‘bright sentence’ tells us that change is the way of nature. “Prince Roland did not explain after saying these words, but said to Luo Ling, “I heard that Miss Luo treats the slaves who were bought well. This is a good thing. It is rare to see such a master in Suero. “
“I just don’t like people who are bitter every day. “Luo Ling smiled. “Anyway, I hope to see more people like you. “Roland praised.
“You may be able to do better, for example, not come here to buy slaves, and not give slave traders a chance to make a fortune! Tigers and leopards hunt lambs, and owls capture flying crows. The prey on the weak has always been the way of nature, but I have never seen animals enslave the same kind! Slavery is not the way of nature, it is sin. “The young man next to Priest Roland said suddenly.
“Garno, you should not say this. You should apologize to Miss Luo. “Roland said dissatisfied. “Lord Roland, it’s not better to have less transactions. Let’s come here…” the young man defended.
