Chapter 412

(Congratulations to Fu Shenqing for becoming the new leader of this book, thank you)

The hatch is open.

The brown-skinned warrior appeared in front of Shen Lang again, and his smile was even more bizarre. He should be the pirate leader of this ship.

He even made a gesture of invitation towards Shen Lang.

Wearing a delicate silk robe and carrying his backpack, Shen Lang walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Then……

He saw a very ugly scene.

It turned out that the ship carried countless slaves.

Almost all of them were black strong men, and everyone was very tall and strong.

Everyone wears shackles, which are chained together with iron chains.

There is not an inch on each slave.

"Clap clap clap..."

The pirate warriors whipped the slaves with whips, urging them to get ashore.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

There was a shrill scream from the front.

Because there was a brazier in the place where the boat was disembarked, and there was a red-hot soldering iron in it.

Every black slave disembarked, a mark was placed on their face.

This imprint can never be removed, representing their status as lifelong slaves.

There used to be slaves in the eastern world. For example, Shen Lang's adoptive father and mother were slaves who were liberated by Jiang Li, but their slave marks were on their backs, not their faces.

Once the slave brand is burned on the face, it means that the identity will never be changed.

Shen Lang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Because he knew that Qiu Yao'er went all the way east, and finally reached the western world (because the world is round), and she also liberated countless slaves along the way, so her country should have no slaves.

What's going on in this city? Is it the city of Qiu Yao'er? How dare you carry out the slave trade in such a grand manner?

Moreover, Shen Lang also discovered that this group of slaves is not simple. Few women, all strong men, is this a slave army?

This group of black slaves was very robust but docile, and had absolutely no intention of resisting.

When they saw the delicate Shen Lang, they only dared to take a look, then lowered their heads and walked forward silently, looking very self-defeating. These black slaves even look down on themselves.

The brown-skinned warrior still followed behind Shen Lang, and muttered a few words behind him, but he still couldn't understand.

But looking at his expression, he was probably mocking these black slaves.

Soon it was Shen Lang's turn to disembark.

The warrior at the exit instinctively pressed the red-hot iron on Shen Lang's face, because he had already become a mechanical reaction.

As a result, the pirate leader behind Shen Lang was furious, rushed forward, pulled out his whip and whipped frantically, and directly beat the warrior with the branding iron to the ground. on his arm.

"Ah...ah..." The miserable scream became even more mournful.

Shen Lang frowned when he saw it, the people in this place are really barbaric.

When the fight was finally over, the brown-skinned pirate leader came to Shen Lang again and made a gesture of invitation. He was too polite to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang got off the boat.

Next, there was no need to walk, but instead got on a luxurious carriage, and entered the city under the envious eyes of countless people.

………………

after entering the city.

Shen Lang couldn't help covering his nose, because it was too smelly.

This city is really only to be seen from a distance, not to be played up close.

From a distance, countless gold, countless gorgeous buildings. And entering the city, there are people in ragged clothes everywhere, and there are stinky drains everywhere. Beneath the countless ornate buildings, there are many more squat houses.

There are two kinds of roads in this city. One kind of road is all paved with slate, more than ten meters wide, and the people walking on it are all luxuriously dressed, very sparse.

There is another kind of road that is dusty, narrow, dirty and stinky, and is crowded with poor people.

This is a city with strict hierarchy and extreme disparity between the rich and the poor.

Shen Lang also noticed that there were a lot of slave handovers going on in the square outside the city gate.

More than a few thousand slaves are entering the city one after another, and everyone has a brand on their forehead.

Every slave is a strong black man, this is definitely not a normal slave, this is to cultivate a slave army.

What is this city going to do? So many troops are needed?

………………

The carriage went deep into the city along the wide and neat stone road.

Go all the way up the mountainside, up!

This is a city by the bay, the whole city is built on the mountain.

The higher the place, the more beautiful the house and the fewer people.

The poor live at the foot of the mountain, the rich live on the mountainside, and the nobles live on the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there is a gorgeous castle complex.

This castle group, Shen Lang just saw at sea, is really beautiful.

Creamy white marble with plenty of gold trim.

There are tall and strong walls around the castle.

There is also a lot of gold in the Qiang Palace, but Arugan has no aesthetics at all, so the Qiang Palace looks vulgar.

But the castle in front of you is absolutely brilliant, both architecturally and artistically.

It might even be called a masterpiece.

At least it was the first time that Shen Lang had seen such a beautiful western-style castle in this world.

The brown-skinned pirate leader who sent Shen Lang was arrogant and majestic when he was on the ship.

But when he came to this castle, he bowed down and was extremely flattering.

When he came to the gate of the castle, he quickly stopped the carriage.

Dozens of warriors at the city gate aimed at him with crossbows, and dozens of fully-armed warriors at the gate surrounded the entire carriage with the fastest speed. Shen Lang noticed that they were using sharp spears as weapons.

The pirate leader said something like an aria, but Shen Lang still couldn't understand it.

But now it can be seen that he is praising the owner of this castle. That is, the owner of this huge city.

Being able to own this entire city is definitely a powerful figure.

Shen Lang roughly estimated that the population of this city should exceed 200,000.

So how much wealth and how much land is needed to feed this city of 200,000 people?

As long as you see the densely packed merchant ships on the city dock, you will know.

This is a city of trade.

For a few minutes, the chant of the pirate chief came to an end.

But the other party still did not open the door, or even put down the crossbow.

The pirate leader suddenly became even more humble.

Next, he acted like a magician.

"Now is the time to witness the miracle." Of course he didn't say that, but it gave people this feeling.

Then he opened the door of the carriage with a sense of ceremony and showed the wonders inside the carriage to the warriors of the castle.

That is Shen Lang!

The warrior leader at the castle gate glanced at Shen Lang, then opened his eyes.

Oriental, and such a beautiful Oriental?

"My God? A lucky one? Or an unfortunate one?"

Shen Lang understood the words of the warrior leader because he spoke Latin. Of course, it is not the same as the later Latin, but it can still be heard according to the intellectual brain.

The mainstream in the eastern world is Chinese, and the mainstream in the western world is Latin? Then what is the ancient civilization of the Western world? Besides Latin, is there any Greek?

After the emotion was over, the samurai leader waved his hand.

The castle gates opened.

This pirate leader gave the gatekeeper samurai leader half a bag of money. Are there gold coins in it? If so, how much is Shen Lang worth?

………………

Entering this large castle complex, Shen Lang sighed again.

It is a magnificent castle manor, and the roads inside are all spotless and paved with white marble. Even the patterns on the road are very delicate, and the roadside is full of exquisite sculptures, some inlaid with gems, some gilded.

The gardens on the roadside, neatly built, are even more beautiful and luxurious than those castles and manors in the movie, which are in stark contrast to the filth and chaos below the city.

Almost every inch of this castle estate needs to be paved with gold coins, which is at least much more luxurious than the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion of the Jin family.

The owner of this castle, who is also the owner of this city, may have a very high status.

There are also many slaves in the castle, especially beautiful female slaves, whose clothes are shamefully less and almost translucent.

The pirate leader brought Shen Lang to a house.

The floor of this house is also paved with marble, but it is vermilion red and polished so smoothly that people can learn from it.

Then, the pirate leader waited respectfully here. At this time, Shen Lang saw that he had bathed and changed his clothes before disembarking, and sprinkled fragrance.

After waiting for more than an hour, the pirate leader showed no signs of impatience.

More than half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside, and the pirate leader immediately knelt on the ground.

The door opened, and a fat middle-aged man walked in, without half a beard, wearing a gorgeous silk robe, with several gold rings, each inlaid with different gems, followed by a dozen or so A fully armed warrior.

He looked like a master, but Shen Lang saw at a glance that he was a eunuch.

The pirate leader knelt on the ground and once again sang like an aria.

The luxuriously dressed eunuch listened perfunctorily, looked at Shen Lang up and down, and was amazed.

Then he picked up the silk handkerchief and covered his nose with disgust, and stood a little further away from the pirate leader, as if he disliked his vile aura.

The pirate leader had already changed into silk clothes, washed them cleanly, and even took care of his hair and beard, but he was still rejected by this white eunuch.

Shen Lang knew that in the ancient Western world, eunuchs, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, etc. were also used a lot.

Is the eunuch in front of him a unique phenomenon, or is it a normal occupation?

This pirate leader still knelt on the ground and sang with all his might, his status was not low, at least he had a pirate ship and had hundreds of pirates under his command, but he was as humble as a dog in front of this eunuch.

After singing for seven or eight minutes, the eunuch waved his hand impatiently.

The two warriors came in with a box and opened it directly in front of the pirate leader.

A whole box of gold coins.

This is a big box with more than 3,000 gold coins in it, and it weighs more than 200 catties.

The pirate chief was overjoyed and kowtowed to the eunuch desperately.

In this situation, Shen Lang sold three thousand gold coins? When Shen Lang entered the city, he saw the slave trade, a strong black slave, only worth three gold coins.

And Shen Lang alone exceeded the price of a thousand slaves?

Lord Lang didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

No wonder this pirate leader was ecstatic when he saw Shen Lang, and raised him with the most exquisite food, and even put him on a luxurious silk robe, embellished with gems, and expensive fragrances, just like a delicate jade. , lest it hurt a little.

It turned out that Shen Lang's profit alone exceeded that of the slaves of one of his ships.

The key is why? The most outstanding oiran in the Great Yan Empire might not be able to sell for 3,000 gold coins.

The eunuch waved his hand again, meaning to tell the pirate leader to leave quickly with the gold coins.

The pirate leader had a lot of strength, holding the gold coin box without any effort, and rushed out directly.

"Vulnerable people, humble language, bring fresh water, I want to wash my ears, let the slaves come in and wash this ground again, so as not to be defiled by the humble people."

This eunuch also speaks Latin. Could it be that this language is a high-level language in this world?

I thought he was joking, but he didn't expect to start washing his ears. Several female slaves came in and started cleaning the ground.

The eunuch carefully looked at Shen Lang's skin, carefully cushioned it with a silk handkerchief, and pulled up Shen Lang's hands.

Then he nodded and said in Latin, "There is no one in a million beautiful oriental men."

………………

Next, Shen Lang was taken to a magnificent room with a huge bathroom.

Several beautiful female slaves came in, began to take off Shen Lang's clothes, and took him to the huge marble bath to wash every inch of his skin.

These female slaves looked restrained, but a little excited.

"What a beautiful man, just like in the painting."

"Didn't you say that all guys in the East are small? Why isn't he small?"

"He actually got up. Is he excited about us too? If he wants, I can sleep with him."

"Do you want to die? Do you want to be burned alive? Don't tease him again, or if he wants to force you to sleep, you have no choice but to die."

There were four female slaves in total, one white and three brown, sort of South American.

The figure is very good, full of exotic style, and he is wearing a layer of tulle, Shen Lang is not a saint, how can he be indifferent?

After taking a bath for Shen Lang, he brought in a large bucket full of milk.

Is it so extravagant? All the milk in such a large bucket is used for bathing?

After taking the milk bath, he entered another pool, which was sprinkled with petals. After washing, Shen Lang was scented.

After all the cleaning was done, the female slaves gently wiped Shen Lang's body with the softest towel.

That's not all, they took out exquisite knives and built Shen Lang's fingernails. He shaved the beard on Shen Lang's face clean, and also had a very delicate hairstyle.

Finally, they put on soft robes for Shen Lang,

Shen Lang lived a very extravagant life, but such extravagance was really rare.

This is no longer a normal refined life, it is completely extravagant.

Next, more than a dozen female slaves brought food, and there were all kinds of delicious food on the whole table.

After the food was finished, more than a dozen kinds of fruits were brought, and finally more than a dozen kinds of wine.

Even a dozen people couldn't finish it, but only Shen Lang was eating alone.

Picking up the knife and fork, Shen Lang expertly ate the delicious food, which was really good.

Whether it's deer chops, or ham, or caviar, first-class sturgeon roe.

Shen Lang chose what he liked and took a few more bites, and what he didn't like just touched it a little.

After he was full, several female slaves waited on Shen Lang to rinse his mouth and brush his teeth, and then removed all the food and threw it away.

Yes, it's such a waste.

Could it be that he despised Shen Lang for eating it?

Not so, the owner of the castle is definitely not willing to eat the rest of the food. And slaves are not qualified to eat such exquisite food, so they can only throw them away.

The slave girl poured a pot of tea and put it on Shen Lang's table. This is the most oriental thing I have encountered today.

"Good night!" The white female slave said towards Shen Lang, and then withdrew with the female slaves.

She also spoke Latin, and Shen Lang couldn't understand what the other brown-skinned female slaves said.

……………………

In the extravagant and gorgeous room, Shen Lang was left alone, and he was reminiscing about what happened.

All this has seemed very mysterious.

Someone bought him for three thousand gold coins, and then did not ask him to do anything, but raised him in an extremely extravagant way.

At least the treatment that Shen Lang enjoys today is comparable to that of a prince.

What will happen next?

The master of this city will come in and let him sleep?

If this is the case, then the price she paid is too high, right? Is this a face-to-face? Or recruit ancestors?

In addition, who is the owner of this city? What is your identity?

………………

This is a suite with a dedicated study.

Shen Lang was overjoyed when he found a map, and couldn't help but hurried over to see it.

It turned out that the city's name was Bijin.

Of course, this is just a term directly translated by Shen Lang. The original text is Bibo and the City of Gold, and they look alike.

And this map is the territory of the Bijin city-state.

Sure enough, in addition to this city, there is also a vast territory. Shen Lang roughly estimated that the total territory of this city-state is about 150,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a province of Yue.

That is to say, the owner of this castle owns a province. Of course, this is nothing, the key is to master this trading city, and it is extremely rich.

No more information can be seen from this map, as nothing else is drawn on it.

There is also a bookshelf in the room with many exquisite books, all in Latin.

Shen Lang was overjoyed and hurried to get it to look at it, but he was a little disappointed.

It turns out that all these books have only one content, introducing the glorious history of the Russo family.

This Bijin City and the entire Bibo Province belonged to the Russo family, and now the title of this family is Duke.

Shen Lang briefly reviewed the history of this family. For a long time, this family was loyal to the Xilun Dynasty, and for a while it was an independent principality.

Shen Lang briefly glanced at the Xilun Dynasty and found that, like the Dayan Dynasty, it was an incomparably huge empire, and it was also composed of dozens of countries.

But it is more unfortunate than the Dayan Empire, and the Xiron Dynasty has now been torn apart. Unlike the Great Yan Empire, it is still in full swing.

Shen Lang flipped through the pages quickly, because the family's history was too long, more than four hundred years, and dozens of books.

He directly found the last book, a very new book, even just bound, with the scent of ink.

Here Shen Lang saw a key message.

The current Russo family is loyal to the Witch Empire.

Witch Empire?

What the hell is this name?

What does this have to do with Qiu Yao'er? The name of such a middle schooler really looks like that of Qiu Yao'er.

Shen Lang originally wanted to read the information about the Witch Empire, but the latter content was burned.

Not accidentally burnt, but burnable, burnt neatly.

What does it mean? Why burn it?

Did you not recognize this history, or did you change your stance?

Shen Lang continued to turn forward and found that it was not of much value.

This Russo family and this Bijin City are almost completely tied to the Xiron Dynasty.

It is not so much the history of the Russo family as it is the history of the rise and fall of the Xiron Dynasty.

The First Empire of Xiron, the Second Empire of Xiron, and the Third Empire of Xiron.

From these three names, we can see how many times this Xiron dynasty has been destroyed and how many times it has been reborn.

Just like the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire.

And now, the Third Empire of Xiron seems to be still lingering, but it has been hit by a huge blow from the Witch Empire.

Shen Lang rummaged around, trying to see how big the territory of this witch empire was, but it turned out to be a mess.

The territory of this witch empire is always changing, but it can be seen that it is indeed huge, at least several million square kilometers, but it seems to be full of uncertainty.

With in-depth reading, Shen Lang saw that the Russo family was full of malice towards the Witch Empire. Even if it claimed allegiance to the Witch Empire at this time, the name of the empire alone was not normal.

Shen Lang wanted to see more information about this witch empire, but all of them were burned.

This Russo family seems to deliberately erase all the information of the Witch Empire.

Next, Shen Lang flipped through the masters of the Russo family.

This last generation of Bijin City Lord, the monarch of Bibo Principality is indeed a woman.

Her name is Debors Russo.

His nicknames have a long and long list, titled Jin-born Princess Bibo Tsunami Tamer and so on.

Anyway, in this book, the Grand Duchess Debors is a very, very remarkable person.

The beauty is unparalleled, the martial arts is strong, the holy and noble, etc., etc. Barabara.

Shen Lang has skipped over these contents. Westerners like to brag more than Easterners, and the monarchs of Eastern dynasties are a little more subtle.

The only valuable information came out.

The Grand Duchess was once married, but her husband died, so she became a widow, 31 years old this year.

Finally, Shen Lang turned to the portrait of the female grand duke, dressed in military uniform, but he didn't take a look. Because this portrait is so freehand, I can't tell what it looks like at all.

However, Shen Lang has almost obtained some information.

The Grand Duchess Debos owns a land of 150,000 square kilometers. She used to be loyal to the Xiron Dynasty, but later she was loyal to the Witch Empire, but her heart was full of hostility to the Witch Empire.

And she was the richest and most powerful widow in the area.

Bikin City is one of several trade centers in the western world.

The family spent 3,000 gold coins to buy Shen Lang, which is an astronomical sum for others, but it is a drop in the bucket for this female grand duke. Her wealth makes Shen Lang salivating.

So why did she buy the beautiful men in the oriental world?

Do you enjoy it yourself? Was Shen Lang the only one she bought?

Judging from the information in front of her, it is indeed like buying a face to serve the Grand Duchess.

However, in these books, the private life of the female grand duke is described very holyly. Except for a husband, she has never married again.

Of course, this kind of family self-edited books must be extremely beautifying themselves, even the most capable women will be written as holy fairies.

So will something like this happen next?

Shen Lang was washed in vain, and then wrapped in a sheet and sent to a resplendent palace for the Grand Duke to enjoy?

Or when the door of the next room suddenly opened, the female grand duke rushed in and ravaged Shen Lang?

………………

However, nothing happened next!

Even for days, nothing happened.

Shen Lang still enjoys a life comparable to that of a prince, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but he did not ask him to do anything.

But only there is no freedom.

As soon as he walked out the door, he was immediately blocked by two samurai.

Shen Lang never saw the Grand Duke of Debos. And no one spoke to him, the only thing the slave girl said to him was good night.

Shen Lang has become a canary, and even the middle-aged eunuch has never been here.

During this time, Shen Lang read the "Russo Family History" over and over again.

Three days passed, five days passed.

Half a month has passed.

He still stayed in this gorgeous suite, still kept in a cage like a canary, and was not allowed to go out half a step.

He asked to read more books and got no response.

But Shen Lang felt that the Duke of Debos was not in the castle, not even in Bijin City.

He is a very sensitive person, and a castle with a master is completely different from a castle without a master.

At this moment, what Shen Lang is most concerned about is not the Duke of Debos, but the Witch Empire. He desperately wants to know if this Witch Empire has anything to do with Qiu Yaoer.

And standing on the balcony, Shen Lang could find that the atmosphere in the city was a little tense.

Slave ships docked every day, bringing batch after batch of strong black slaves into the city, and indeed training to be the army.

Shen Lang has seen a large number of slave troops, fully armed, countless.

There are more than tens of thousands of slave armies, and they are still increasing.

What does the Duke of Debors want to do? Resist the rule of the Witch Empire?

………………

Twenty-third days later!

"Dang dang dang dang..."

Suddenly, the whole city bell rang.

Then all the boats on the bay docks got out of the way.

A magnificent fleet entered the bay and began to dock.

There is a very large fleet, with dozens of large battleships, all of which are hung with the flag of the Russo family.

Speaking of the logo of the Russo family, it is indeed interesting.

Usually sea water, half fire.

Shen Lang knew that the master of this city was here, and the monarch of the entire Bibo Principality was here.

Fleet docked.

Line after line of gorgeous samurai came ashore.

A woman in golden armor, riding a white horse, slowly came ashore.

Then, a cavalry of more than a thousand people rushed out of the city to meet him.

Under the protection of more than 5,000 people in full armor, this woman in golden armor entered Bijin City.

Everyone along the way, whether slaves or civilians, all knelt down on the side of the road.

That's right, she is Duke Debos, the one who paid for Shen Lang.

The richest widow in this area.

The supreme master in the territory of 150,000 square kilometers.

………………

"The Grand Duke is back!"

The bell rang fast in the castle.

Countless servants and samurai all went out the door.

Kneeling neatly on both sides of the road, welcoming the Grand Duchess back to the castle.

At this time, Shen Lang noticed that there were so many people in this castle?

More than a few thousand people serve the duchess.

From the beginning to the end, the duchess did not look at Shen Lang, even if he was standing outside the balcony.

………………

Night falls!

Shen Lang once again experienced a holy bath.

Spa, milk, wine, perfume.

After four full baths, the slave girls dressed him in an unprecedentedly gorgeous costume.

Shen Lang in the mirror seemed to glow.

After a while, the middle-aged eunuch walked in silently and said to Shen Lang, "My god, are you turning all living beings upside down?"

This sentence is used to describe a woman, thank you!

But I, Shen Lang, won't mind if you praise me like that.

"Beautiful man from the eastern world, please come with me!" said the middle-aged eunuch, and then led the way.

Shen Lang's heart skipped a beat?

Are you going to see the Grand Duchess Deborah?

What will happen next?

Do you really want to sacrifice my incomparably beautiful man/sex?

………………

Note: Two changes and fifteen thousand! The new plot is going to explode in my brain, you adults give me a monthly pass, give me strength, and write more excitingly!

Thank you for the 10,000-coin reward for the first handsome boy.
