Zhao Hai calmly looked at the small ice city in front of him. This was the slave market outside of White Fox City. It would be nonsense to say that the people of White Fox City didn't know about the existence of this slave market. Although the ice city wasn't big, it was obvious that it wasn't built in a day or two. In this case, if the people of White Fox City didn't know about the existence of this ice city, then they could just go and die.
However, even though they knew about the existence of this ice city, they still allowed Zhao Hai to freely trade here. This showed how capable they were. On one hand, they were saying that they wouldn't allow slaves to exist, and on the other hand, they were raising a lot of slaves. At the same time, they also allowed the existence of the slave market to be made public.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care about these things right now. For Zhao Hai, politicians were all the same. If you want to compare shamelessness with politicians, then you've already lost.
Zhao Hai hired a deer carriage to bring him here. Although he could walk, that would be too conspicuous. People who came here to buy slaves didn't walk. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to take a carriage.
Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was very fast. It took less than four hours to arrive here. The carriage directly entered the small ice city. There were a lot of small houses in this small ice city, all of them were made of ice. In front of these small houses, there were a lot of mixed souls. They stood there with wooden faces, as if they had lost their souls.
Although the temperature here was very low, these people were also wearing leather clothes. However, their leather clothes were very little, exposing most of their bodies. This made it easy for people to see their figures, showing how strong they were.
There were also women and children here. The women were also wearing very little leather clothes. The children were also the same. They had marks on their faces. These marks were drawn with a potion that couldn't be removed. The marks wouldn't stay with people for a lifetime. If a slave with such a mark appeared in the city, then they would immediately be caught.
The slave market was very big. Outside the market was an ice wall that was as tall as a person. Zhao Hai understood why there was an ice wall here. It was because they were afraid that the slaves would run away, so they built an ice wall here.
In this market, there would be an Ice Soul Cultivator at every certain distance. They wore thick leather clothes and stood there, constantly selling their slaves to the people around them. Those slaves stood there like commodities, being picked and selected by the people around them.
To be honest, seeing this scene, Zhao Hai was very angry. Even if he had seen this scene countless times in the past, he was still very angry. However, he didn't say anything. Before he conquered the five Spirit Realms, it was useless to say anything. Only after he conquered the five Spirit Realms and had the ability to change everything would people listen to him.
Zhao Hai got down from the deer carriage. He stood there quietly and looked at the slaves here. He knew that a lot of the slaves here had their own families. The slave merchants would force the male and female slaves into a family. When the female slaves had children, they would separate the male slaves from the female slaves. The children would then be sold along with the female slaves.
Zhao Hai looked around and saw a lot of families like this. However, he didn't say anything and just slowly walked forward. From time to time, there would be slave merchants coming to sell him slaves. However, Zhao Hai didn't look at them and just continued to walk forward.
He wasn't prepared to buy slaves today. Even if he did, he wouldn't have a place to settle them down. Moreover, even if he bought a few slaves and settled them down, it would be like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. Zhao Hai just wanted to see what the slaves here were like.
While Zhao Hai was walking forward, a small figure suddenly attracted Zhao Hai's attention. The child was standing there. In front of him was a corpse of a woman. The child stood there with an expressionless face. The soul on his head was a tree vine.
The child looked to be around ten years old. He looked very thin and wore leather clothes that exposed a lot of his flesh. His face also had the mark of a slave. However, his eyes weren't as dull as the other slaves. His eyes were cold, and there was anger and killing intent hidden in them. However, his skin was covered with scars. Some of these scars were new while some were old.
Zhao Hai stopped and looked at the corpse at the boy's feet. Then he looked at the surroundings. This was the edge of the slave market. Generally, people wouldn't come here. It was precisely because of this that the slave merchants allowed this corpse to exist. One must know that these corpses couldn't be found anywhere else. They would be cleaned up and thrown into the water.
Zhao Hai looked at the corpse. It was a female slave. She should be around 20 years old, but she wasn't 30 years old. She looked good, but she wasn't very beautiful. She should have been dead for a long time. Her body didn't seem to be completely frozen.
This woman should be the boy's mother. Slaves generally took a long time to give birth to their children. Therefore, it was normal for the woman to give birth to the boy when she was only 10 years old.
Zhao Hai looked at the boy. The boy also noticed Zhao Hai. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Hai. His eyes were still cold. Then he turned his head and no longer paid attention to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked to the side and saw a fat slave merchant not too far away. He was talking to someone. It was clear that the person wanted to buy slaves. The person was pointing at several slaves and said something to the slave merchant. The two seemed to be bargaining. They didn't pay attention to the boy and the woman's corpses.
Zhao Hai slowly walked towards the slave merchant. At this time, the slave merchant and the person who wanted to buy the slaves had already discussed the price. After the two finished the transaction, the person who wanted to buy the slaves left. After the slave merchant put away the money, he discovered Zhao Hai.
Seeing Zhao Hai, the slave merchant immediately came over with a smile on his face. He cupped his fist and said, "Mister wants to buy slaves. I have all kinds of slaves here. Moreover, these slaves have all kinds of skills. If Mister wants to buy them, they would definitely be good workers. They can also help Mister with a lot of other work. How about it? Does Mister like any of them? If Mister likes any of them, then I can give you a discount. "
Zhao Hai looked at the slave merchant and faintly smiled. Then he pointed at the boy and said, "How much for the boy?"
The merchant looked at the direction Zhao Hai was pointing at. His expression couldn't help but change. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "I'm sorry Mister, I can't sell him. Mister should know that the slaves we sell are trained before they are sold. Only when the slaves are well trained and obedient will we sell them. However, we haven't trained the boy yet. We trained him for a period of time. At first, his performance wasn't very good, but after being taught a lesson, his performance became very good. But who would have thought that when he arrived here, he would suddenly go crazy. This means that he hasn't been trained well.
Zhao Hai looked at the fat man and said, "Sell him to me. I won't say that I bought him from you. How about it?"
The merchant pondered for a moment before he said, "One gold coin. If Mister can give me one gold coin, then I'll let you take him away. However, I won't admit that he came from me." The slave merchant was very clear that a slave like the boy wasn't worth much. Moreover, the boy was too disobedient. It would be very difficult for them to tame him. If they didn't manage to kill him, then the slave would be worthless. It would be better to sell him to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai casually threw a gold coin to the merchant, then he said, "Give me the corpse on the ground as well. That should be his mother. Let him meet with his mother."
The slave merchant dexterously received the coin that Zhao Hai threw at him. Then he immediately said, "No problem. Mister can take him away. You're really kind."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Instead, he walked towards the boy. The slave merchant also followed him. When the two stood in front of the boy, the slave merchant opened his mouth and said, "Donkey, you already belong to this mister. In the future, this mister will be your master. If you're disobedient, then this mister can kill you at any time. You can leave with this mister now."
The boy looked at Zhao Hai, then he lowered his head and didn't say anything. Zhao Hai looked at the boy and said, "Come with me. Your mother's corpse is now mine." After releasing the corpse, Zhao Hai waved his hand. The woman's corpse floated up and floated to Zhao Hai's side. When Zhao Hai walked forward, the corpse followed him. When the boy saw the corpse floating up, he immediately rushed forward. However, the corpse didn't fall down and continued to float forward. When the boy saw this, he could only let go of the corpse and follow Zhao Hai.
Along the way, Zhao Hai attracted a lot of attention. A person carrying a corpse out of the slave market was very attractive. Therefore, a lot of people looked at Zhao Hai. Some people even pointed at Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai didn't care about this. He led the boy and the corpse out of the slave market. He didn't ride the carriage that he hired, it just followed behind Zhao Hai.
After the group left the slave market, Zhao Hai led the boy to a small iceberg. Then he said to the boy, "I can only bury your mother here. It's impossible for me to carry a corpse everywhere. Remember this place. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come back and pay your respects." After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand as the corpse slowly fell onto the iceberg. Then the iceberg seemed to melt as it slowly absorbed the corpse. After that, the iceberg slowly returned to normal. One couldn't see that there was a corpse inside.
