Compared to the grandeur of the municipal center, this building is undoubtedly much more modest, yet it has even more foot traffic. A large number of knights fill the area, many of whom wear the emblems of the nobility. Even Thor, a member of the Dressrosa Family, does not seem all that conspicuous here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this does not mean he is unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Thor and his two companions entered, a servant soon came to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, honorable knight, is there anything you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant spoke in a respectful tone, not daring to show the slightest negligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that you have all kinds of slaves here. I need to buy a batch of peasant slaves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor’s gentle voice spoke, not in a hurry to find that Half-Elf maiden, but brought up another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is purchasing peasant slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction of the territory requires more than just knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knights only ensure personal safety and provide enough military force for expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of peasant slaves are also needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Construction, construction, of course, requires construction, and it’s impossible without peasant slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are the largest slave market in the entire Northern Province, and the peasant slaves we have are definitely the strongest and can absolutely meet your needs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please follow me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant said with a smile and then led Thor forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor nodded and then proceeded with Reine and Steve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, under the servant’s guidance, the three arrived at the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic crystals lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, figures bound by ropes caught his eye, each inside iron cages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each figure was small, sallow, emaciated, and listless, with faces full of numbness, clearly not at all as robust as the servant claimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Thor didn’t mind too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words of slave traders are just to be listened to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free People of Loren City look like that, so how good could the slaves be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they’re just about right, it will do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honored sir, the peasant slaves here go for ten Silver Coins each, while those over there are one Silver Coin each. How many do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant spoke again with undiminished respect, also making a gesture to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the servant’s words, Thor sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had anticipated this, he was still a bit shocked by the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Frost Moon Province, a peasant slave is only about one Silver Coin; here, the price is ten times that amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though some are priced the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just that when he saw the one Silver Coin peasant slaves, Thor couldn’t help but wince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the slaves here barely resemble humans, those on the other side were completely unpresentable — they were not only skin and bones, but many were also missing limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These will do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need five hundred people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor murmured slightly and then stated his requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owning over four hundred knights, theoretically even with thousands of peasant slaves, he could manage them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he must consider his Gold Coins and the undeveloped state of his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to elaborate on the Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his father supported him considerably, and he had gained much along the way, he only had over ten thousand Gold Coins. While it’s a lot, for territorial development, it’s not that much, still needing to consider future development; it’s impossible to spend a large amount just buying peasant slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the territory, it’s not worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the land is still desolate; with large numbers entering, survival would be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are all considerations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, such a large transaction still excited the servant instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honored sir, I’ll handle it for you immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five hundred peasant slaves, totaling five thousand Silver Coins, that’s fifty Gold Coins in all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant was increasingly respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty Gold Coins is already a large transaction; his position might be boosted by it, and that naturally delighted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, besides these peasant slaves, do you have any other types of slaves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly realizing something, Thor asked, sounding casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other slaves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant was slightly confused but quickly understood what was going on, his eyes lighting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, just today, we have a new batch of top-quality female slaves, would you like to take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant spoke with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female slaves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor pretended to contemplate, then nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant quickly assured and hurriedly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor began to wait in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he brought in an entirely new batch of slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the previous slaves, these were much tidier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each wore tattered clothes, stirring one’s heart at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gulp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Thor, Reine couldn’t help but swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor glanced over without much interest, as he had witnessed much in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These female slaves were just so-so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His target wasn’t among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring another batch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor’s calm voice spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant nodded at once, swiftly calling for replacements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a new batch was brought in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honored sir, this batch is the finest, some even chosen from within the Kingdom, and their prices are very reasonable!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant spoke respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next batch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor gave a cursory glance, shook his head, and spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant had no choice but to call for another replacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for quite some time, a new batch finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the first and second batches with forty to fifty individuals, the third batch consisted of only about twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor’s gaze swept through, soon settling on the third girl on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a girl dressed in grey clothing, her appearance exceedingly ordinary, not standing out in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Thor’s gaze, the girl, like the other female slaves, instinctively lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honored sir, this is the last batch.
