The Ant Nest Black Market.
There was the strongest armor, the sharpest weapons, the most expensive spices, and of course, the most beautiful female slaves.
Wu Ming even saw a special pardon issued by a viscount, as well as a certificate of identity as a freedman. The name column was blank, but the nobleman's seal and signature were all there.
If this document was genuine, it meant that no matter who the buyer was, as long as they filled in their name, they would be able to obtain a new identity in an instant.
Those bandits, bandits, and gang leaders who wanted to clean up and start afresh would all need this.
Sure enough, Wu Ming only waited for a while before he saw several rich customers fighting over this. Finally, a very rich guy came and directly threw out a high price of 200 Gold Delong and took the identity certificate into his pocket.
'The lord who issued the certificate also has the obligation to ensure that what he said is true … There are very few people with such an identity certificate. No wonder there's no market for it …'
'But … more and more people are coming. Are they all waiting for the auction?'
Wu Ming walked around and did not find anyone selling holy oil. Only the central square was empty, and some waiters were arranging things. He was not in a hurry to act, and waited quietly.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the slave stall in front, and there was a faint exclamation of 'Blue Blood'.
Wu Ming's heart stirred, and he squeezed through the crowd.
What appeared in front of him was a slave market.
The slaves here were all beautiful female slaves. They wore all kinds of revealing clothes, but the expressions on their faces were as holy as a praying nun. Some had the arrogance of a queen, and there was a hint of provocation in their eyes when they looked down.
It was obvious that they were trained by a very outstanding slave trader. Any aristocrat would be willing to pay a high price for such good goods.
On the notice board next to it was clearly written: 'High-level slaves, proficient in all kinds of etiquette and skills to please men. I guarantee with my reputation that every one of them is a chaste virgin. Price: 50 Gold Delong per person!'
However, at this moment, they were still not the main characters.
As far as Wu Ming could see, he saw a little girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old being sold by a slave trader. "Blue Blood Aristocrat, from the already destroyed Ross family. I guarantee there won't be any trouble. She's yours for fifty Gold Delong!"
Blue-blooded nobles! Inherited from Thale's bloodline! Wu Ming finally knew why it had caused such a stir.
However, to any blueblood noble, fifty gold Delong was obviously a little too cheap.
However, the crowd at the scene still made a ruckus. Not a single person called out a price.
With just a glance, Wu Ming knew the reason.
Because this girl was sick, and very sick at that!
Her almost naked body was covered with dark red abscesses, some of which had already begun to rot and ooze pus, emitting a foul smell.
"Heavens … Is he cursed by the devil?"
Wu Ming heard someone next to him exclaim, "Such a dirty and ugly monster, I'm afraid he won't live past one night even if he buys her!"
Young and healthy blueblood nobles were priceless, but this one who was on the verge of death and could die at any moment was no different from a pile of rotten meat.
"What monster?"
The slave trader's face turned red, as if he had been insulted. "Look!"
He grabbed the girl's arm and barely found a spot that wasn't rotten. "What white and delicate skin, and these blue veins!"
Under the light, the girl's arm seemed to be translucent, and blue veins could be seen in the pale skin.
This was proof of the proud bloodline of many blueblood nobles.
"She really is blueblood! This kind of symbol … can't be faked! "
A voice outside echoed in a low voice, "But … she's about to die, and we don't even know if this disease is contagious!"
"How is that possible? Look at me, isn't there nothing wrong with me? "
The slave trader complained.
In reality, he was also complaining incessantly in his heart.
He still remembered when he got the last orphan of the Roth family, her skin was smoother than the best porcelain, and she was as beautiful as an angel.
He was absolutely confident that after his "training," this girl would definitely make all the customers go crazy!
But who knew that the second day after he bought her, the girl would start to get sick, and eventually grew such abscesses all over her body, even on her face, turning her into an ugly monster.
"That bastard deserves to go to the ninth level of hell!"
The slave trader didn't know how many times he cursed the mercenary who sold the little girl to him. "He must know the truth!"
"The Roth family has already been destroyed, and the territory has been re-enfeoffed … So, at this time, other than being a blueblood noble, she has nothing else …"
Outside, a picky voice said.
But the slave trader's eyes lit up. Being picky meant that there was still a desire to buy.
"But … she's still a blueblood, which is worth at least a hundred gold Delong! Fifty of them now is already extremely cheap! "
At this moment, he was already in a hurry to sell off this money-losing, infuriating monster. It would be best if he never saw her again.
"Ten gold Delong!"
A man shrouded in a black cloak made a bid.
"Impossible!"
The slave trader didn't budge.
"She looks like she's about to die …" the cloaked man insisted.
"She's just sick. Maybe a scholar or a doctor can cure her … As long as she resells it, God, that's ten times or even a hundred times the profit!"
The slave trader said in an exaggerated tone.
In fact, he had already tried all the possible methods, and in the end, he was completely in despair.
"Impossible, at most twenty gold Delong … I just want to find some fun for the little babies at home …"
The cloaked man insisted.
"Fifty gold Delong!"
The slave trader made a final effort, and then immediately spread out his hands. "Not a single one less, or I'd rather she die here!"
This was the experience he had accumulated over many years of business. He absolutely could not take the initiative to lower the price, otherwise, once he opened his mouth, the final price would definitely make him vomit blood.
"I'm very sorry!"
The cloaked man shrugged and directly left.
"Tsk tsk … I can't believe she's really a blueblood!"
The crowd of onlookers began to slowly disperse, bored.
"If she's not sick, I guarantee she'll be able to attend the monthly auction!"
"Do you remember that time before the new year? That blue-blooded female slave, she was auctioned off for a high price of five thousand gold Delong! My god, that's almost comparable to a knight's manor! "
…
"You damned monster, go to hell!"
Seeing that the customer had left, the slave trader who had failed to sell the slave gave the girl a hard whip, causing her to groan in pain.
"You can't even speak, you're just like a mute. Why was I blind to buy you back then …"
The slave trader held his head in pain, and then immediately discovered that there was still one person who had not left.
"What? Mister, are you interested in her? "
He looked at the remaining customer expectantly, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"Roth family? Won't there be trouble after buying her? "
Wu Ming asked in a low voice.
"Of course … Its direct descendants are all dead! You can ask around at will, no one will make things difficult for you for this girl … However, for the sake of the honor of the blue-blooded nobles, I still suggest that you don't show her in public! "
The slave trader reminded. In fact, he felt that these words were completely unnecessary. After all, this girl might not live for more than a few days.
But out of professional ethics, he still said so.
"Pure blue-blooded …"
Wu Ming squatted down, staring at the girl's translucent pale skin and the blue veins in her body.
Her face with ulcers moved, and her eyes were like those of a dead fish, coldly glancing at Wu Ming. That kind of indifference was enough to shock any adult. What was even more unbelievable was the little girl's face.
'Very good … I've long wanted to find a subject to study …'
Wu Ming nodded to himself, and tried to bargain again.
It was obvious that this slave trader had been tortured by this unlucky commodity to the point of a mental breakdown. Under the continuous blows, he actually made a concession for the first time in his career, "Forty-five gold Delong! Not a single piece less! "
"Deal!"
Wu Ming took out the gold coins and happily settled the transaction with the slave trader, obtaining ownership of the girl.
"Her name is Beatrice. Of course, she's yours now. You can give her any name you want!"
The slave trader counted the gold Delong, and immediately lifted the girl's head, revealing the iron ring on her neck, "This is her slave collar and the key!"
"Happy trading!"
Wu Ming took the key and picked up the little girl.
Her body was very light, and her indifferent eyes did not waver at all, as if she did not know that she had been bought by a stranger.
"What a poor little girl!"
Wu Ming shook his head and looked at the center of the black market.
There, a large viewing platform had been built, and it was obvious that the monthly auction was about to begin.
The most precious and rare things were auctioned at the auction. If there was holy oil, it could only be found here.
Of course, Wu Ming was very clear that even if he did not buy Beatrice, with his financial resources, there was not much hope of buying holy oil.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had been planning to take a crooked path.
"Okay, the auction will now begin!"
With a loud roar, the crowd gathered in the center of the stands. Even some stall owners hurriedly packed up their stalls, ignoring their own business.
In the stands, an emcee bowed to the surroundings and lifted the red cloth of the first treasure. "A full set of knight armor, made of the lightest steel, by a craftsman from the highlands. It is light, strong, and superior in defense than ordinary plate armor. The starting price is 2,000 gold Delong!"
