Chapter 0714 Slave Market
Perhaps Bilis's striking black robe played a role.
A handsome young man with a dark complexion ran to Bilis and bowed, "Wizard Master, where do you want to go? Bill is willing to serve you!"
Bilis looked around with his green eyes and asked in a slightly strange Faan native language, "How do you know I'm a wizard?"
It's no wonder he felt strange. There were many guys like him in this huge and noisy market who were hiding their heads and showing their tails. Almost all of them wrapped themselves tightly with thick cloth robes or traveler's cloaks, without revealing half an inch of skin.
In this case, a weak native boy could actually identify his wizard identity, which... was obviously a bit beyond Bilis's expectations.
The native boy was slightly stunned, and then bowed with a strange look on his face and said, "Sir, we mortals who are allowed to enter the wizard tower must wear this..."
Under the guidance of the native boy, Bilis discovered that there was a strange brooch on his chest. Bilis looked around and found a similar brooch on everyone's chest.
Closed his eyes and looked carefully, he could still sense the faint witchcraft fluctuations from the brooch.
So that's it!
These security measures formulated for mortals outside are probably only for wizards to be exempted from compliance, so...
"I want to go to the slave market of the pale witches, take me there!"
"My lord, please!"
As the owner of the witch tower, the slave market of the pale witches is undoubtedly located in the most eye-catching place on the third floor of the witch tower, and it occupies almost half of the entire third floor.
Almost all the captives captured by the witches are imprisoned here, waiting to be sent back to the wizard world on the day when the plane gate opens. However, considering the "ticket" that needs to be paid to pass through the plane gate, not all slaves will be taken away.
The dark witches plundered more than 400 forest elves from the Jialan continent in one breath, including old and young, and they accounted for a large proportion. But no matter how strong they are, the basic cost of passing through the plane gate is 100 magic crystals.
Even if an ordinary elf is transported back to the wizard world, the market price in the wizard world is only 20 to 30 magic crystals. However, the price of elves or elf warriors with special skills is almost several times that of ordinary elves.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, no one is willing to spend this money to transport a group of money-losing goods back to the wizard world!
During the six months in the Jialan Continent, the Crimson Family also captured more than 600 forest elves one after another. If they are all transported back to the wizard world, not only will they not earn back the "travel expenses", but they will also have to pay a large sum of money.
Therefore, ordinary elves and old, weak, sick and disabled elf warriors will be eliminated and put in the slave market of the pale witch to be sold to the natives of the Faen plane. Only those carefully selected "fine products" are worth the Crimson Family spending a sum of magic crystals to bring them back.
As a reward for the family, Bilis can select 15 elves from the Crimson Family's captures as his own private collection. Or auction them off or use them as experimental materials, all the proceeds will belong to the wizard personally.
It is precisely because of Grimm's generosity that the family wizards are willing to take huge risks to fight with him in one alien world after another.
When you walk into the shop opened by the pale witch, you will see a row of old wooden cages lined up along the huge stone wall. In the wooden cages, all the slaves from other worlds are standing, sitting, lying or lying.
The wooden cage is not big, only ten square meters in size, but it is tightly packed with prisoners and slaves of different races, skin colors and genders. Among them are highland dwarves who are good at mining and smelting, dog-headed people who are good at digging and digging holes, an ogre wizard with a head as high as 5 meters and two heads on his neck, and a flame-tailed lion with flaming red hair and a bright yellow flame burning on its tail...
Of course, there are also forest elves captured from the Jialan continent!
Seeing Bilis coming in, a group of young and enthusiastic girls gathered around, speaking the not-so-fluent wizard language, and diligently serving the mysterious wizard who was hidden in a black robe.
The native boy who brought Bilis was pushed aside with an embarrassed look on his face.
At this point, it was not his turn to speak.
"I'm here to get the reward within the family. This is the number plate!" Bilis took out a bronze plate and tossed it in his hand.
"This is the mark plate of the Crimson Family. Their captives are all imprisoned in wooden prisons No. 25-41 in District 13. Luna, take him there!" An old witch who was sitting alone at a wooden table with a book in her arms and reading slowly rolled her eyelids, just glanced at it and didn't pay attention anymore.
A young girl immediately took the order and went out.
District 13 is located in the central area of this huge market. It can be seen that there are a lot of slave leaders and chamber of commerce representatives gathered here, and their arguments and noises are particularly fierce. If fighting was not strictly prohibited in the market, I'm afraid some of the guys who were arguing would have been unable to resist fighting.
It must be said that war is indeed the best shortcut to getting rich!
For those powerful and powerful people in the Farn Continent, there are not many opportunities to obtain the specialties of the Jialan Continent. Although a large number of slave ships secretly go to the Jialan Continent every year, due to ocean storms, sea tribe looting, and the existence of elf patrols, only a few can capture something and return to the Farn Continent smoothly.
And with the extravagant nature of human nobles, they are extremely obsessed with forest elves full of exotic customs. Therefore, in the Farn Continent, the price of forest elves, regardless of gender, has always been high!
Therefore, among the many prisoners of war, a powerful ogre with the strength of level 1 intermediate may not be as expensive as a young and beautiful apprentice-level elf girl.
When the young girl and Bilis stopped in front of a row of wooden cages, the insect wizard clearly saw the logo of the crimson family's giant flaming hand on the thick and old pillars of the wooden cages.
And inside the wooden cages, it was densely filled with forest elves with angry flames in their eyes.
Among them, there were almost no individuals who were too old and weak, all of them were young elves with graceful figures and beautiful faces. But without exception, their shoulders were all marked with a circular witchcraft mark, isolating the power of the elements. Coupled with the influence of the Weakness Spell, each elf looked sickly, no longer as light and agile as before when climbing up and down in the Magic Forest and walking on the hundred-meter-high ancient trees.
Bilis's arrival obviously attracted the attention of the merchants who were gathered in front of the wooden cage to select "goods".
Seeing the strange outfit outside Bilis, the guys with a little vision all avoided to the side and gave up the best position in front of the wooden cage.
Bilis walked around the slave wooden cage of the Crimson Family for several times and found that there were almost no ordinary elves in it.
More than 600 1st-level elf warriors, this is also a big loss for the Elf Kingdom!
No 2nd-level elves were seen...
Of course, this is almost inevitable.
Such high-value 2nd-level elves cannot be imprisoned in such a simple and harsh environment, and they will definitely be concentrated in some more advanced places. Among these 1st-level elf warriors, there are sword dancers with strong bodies and elf war patterns painted on their exposed skin, as well as elf archers with light bodies and flexible limb coordination.
And those elves with special abilities, such as elf mages, druids, elf beast trainers... were selected and concentrated in several adjacent wooden cages.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that no matter how many insect armies were created in the Jialan Continent, they could not be brought back to the wizard world, I'm afraid Bilis would have the idea of settling there and devouring the forest elves bit by bit.
As an insect wizard, his body strength is still a bit weak, and there are not many powerful witchcrafts to use. Almost all battles are solved by insect swarms and insect soldiers. This certainly allows him to defeat the strong with the weak and kill those powerful creatures that are far stronger than him. But it doesn't benefit his individual strength much.
Therefore, between the growth of the insect swarm and the growth of his own strength, Bilis can only try to find a balance point.
The most ambitious and crazy idea in his mind is to occupy a material plane with rich resources and many creatures, and then turn all the creatures in it into his own insect swarm and take all the resources for himself.
By then, he will become the master of the insect swarm that dominates the world of thousands of planes, and become a great insect wizard admired by many wizards!
Unfortunately, after experiencing several consecutive plane wars, the cruel reality also made him understand that it is a foolish dream to want to do this with his mere level 1 strength. Therefore, for greater development in the future, he gave up the 100,000 insect army that he had worked hard to pull up in the Jialan Continent, and resolutely returned to the wizard camp with some of the elites and all the insect soldiers.
So at this moment, what kind of elves he chose for the fifteen became a question that needed deep thinking.
Ordinary elf warriors can only be used to hatch insect swarms, and only those elves with elemental power are suitable for cultivating insect soldiers. Therefore, Bilis focused most of his attention on those elf mages and druids.
Just as he was pondering about how to choose, a burly slave leader moved to Bilis' side with courage.
"My lord, I wonder if you are willing to give us your elf quota. We are willing to pay a high price, and..." The slave leader secretly lowered his voice and said, "We can get something that you may be interested in..."
"What I'm interested in?" Bilis sneered in a hoarse voice: "What can you mortals have that can satisfy me, hum..."
"My lord, this is the list of items we brought this time, you might as well take a look first..."
After that, the slave leader carefully took out an ancient sheepskin scroll from his arms and silently unfolded it in front of Bilis.
Bilis glanced at it, and the insect head hidden in the shadow of the hood couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Hey, how come there is this thing...
