Chapter 309 Melissa's News
Chapter 309 Melissa's News
Helot put the blanket on his shoulders over his head, wrapped his hands tightly around his leather jacket, lowered his head and walked into the streets of Snow City.
Since entering the northern border, it seems that there has been no sunny day. There are only three types of weather here: moderate snow, heavy snow and blizzard. Therefore, on both sides of the road, you can see many shacks collapsed by the snow, and you can also see slaves locked in cages for sale.
Slave trading was a legal business in the northern border.
The source of slaves was mainly prisoners sent by the empire. After being selected by the watchers, the rest were sold to the slave market in Snow City. Another part was the looted population. When conflicts broke out between villages in the northern border, the captured captives would be sold to Snow City in exchange for survival supplies.
Most of the people who bought slaves were adventurers who were going to the polar plateau. The climate of the polar plateau was even more severe, and even the northern long-maned horses could hardly survive there. Adventurers who wanted to carry more supplies needed slaves to carry them.
The strange thing is... most of the people running the slave business in Snow City are southerners among the northern border population.
Helot had just stopped in front of a cage when a slave trader wearing a fur hat and with a flattering smile on his face ran over.
"Dear traveler, you must be an adventurer ready to challenge the polar plateau. If you want to harvest more treasures from the polar regions, you need a strong slave. He can carry survival supplies for you, and he can also stand in front of you when you are in danger."
The slave trader used the iron rod in his hand to beat the cage to cheer up the depressed slaves inside.
Helot pretended to select slaves in the cage and asked, "I am a wizard, and I hope to hunt a cold demon to complete a challenge for myself. I also want to gain recognition from the Ice and Snow Family through this hunt and become a member of the Watchers.
Which slave do you think would be suitable to assist me in this hunt?"
Hearing that the other party was a mage, and his tone was full of confidence that he could be a watcher, the slave trader bent his waist even deeper.
"Respected Master Mage, you will definitely become a great Watcher. If you need my advice, I recommend you..." The slave trader walked to another cage and pointed an iron rod at a Northerner inside and said, "This slave followed an adventure group into the polar regions during the last freezing season and helped the group gain a lot of wealth. His experience will definitely help you complete this trial."
Helot looked at the slave recommended by the slave trader. He had the sturdy physique of the northern border people, but he was skinny due to hunger. His red hair and beard were tangled together, and his eyes were dull.
He had a hairband of unknown color tied around his wrist, and I didn't know what it meant to him.
"That's it!" Helot's purpose was not to buy slaves. He held up five fingers to show that he was willing to bid five Imperial Silver Shields. At the same time, he asked, "Do all the Ice and Snow Families live in the Ice Castle? Getting to know some big shots in advance should help me join the Watchers, right?"
The slave trader was eager to make the deal. He held up ten fingers and answered at the same time: "Most members of the Ice and Snow Family are in the Ice Castle. Only a small number of underage young masters and young ladies live in the Snow Castle in Snow City. They are trained by Marquis Skovo in the Snow Castle and are not allowed to have their own followers.
If you want to meet the bigwigs of the Elvin family, I still recommend going to the Ice Castle. "
Helot held up six fingers and continued to ask: "Which big man do you think is more promising to serve?"
"Of course it's Master Rogrid. He is the first heir of the Ice and Snow Family." The slave trader retracted his two fingers: "But it's a bit difficult to become Master Rogrid's supporter. Master Panier is also a good choice. He is the eldest son of Marquis Skovo and will inherit the Snow Castle in the future."
Helot took out eight silver shields and gave them to the slave trader: "You misunderstood what I meant. I want to follow the strongest person. I heard that the strongest of the new generation of the Ice and Snow Family is Her Highness Emma Lubeli, who has the title of Snow Princess. Is she in the Snow Castle or the Ice Castle now?" The slave trader happily put away the eight silver coins: "Her Highness Emma Lubeli has been living in the Snow Castle since she returned to the Northern Frontier from the Imperial Capital. It's a pity that the princess has not recovered from the injuries she suffered in the polar plateau, otherwise she would still be the Snow Princess respected by the entire Northern Frontier.
A few days ago, news came that Master Panier will marry Princess Emma Luberi. If you admire Princess Emma Luberi, joining Master Panier is definitely the best choice."
Helot was a little stunned.
During his conversation with Melissa, he learned about some of the relationships among the Elvin family.
The Ice Castle is the base camp of the Elvin Family. The adult Elvin children and the main force of the Watchers, the Ice Knights, are stationed in the Ice Castle to prevent polar monsters from entering the northern border of the empire.
The Snow Castle is responsible for the logistics of the Ice Castle and the training of the warriors, and the owner of the Snow Castle is the Skovo Family, a branch of the Elvin Family. The Skovo Family married women from the Elvin Family in order to inherit the weakened version of the Northern Lights bloodline.
Master Panier is the eldest son of Marquis Scovo and the cousin of Emma Luberi.
Although the marriage between close relatives of the nobility is a point of criticism, is Melissa's current physical condition suitable for marriage?
Helot had to use his dark psychology to speculate on the intentions of the Elvin family... Seeing that Emma Lubel was at the end of her life, she was no longer of much value to the family. Giving birth to a child who inherited her talents and genes before the end of her life was probably her last remaining value.
Now I finally understand why Melissa didn't return to Covenant City before the freezing season came.
Does she agree to this marriage? What can I do for her?
But no matter what, I still need to see her as soon as possible.
While Helot was thinking, the slave was taken out of the cage by the slave trader's men, with his hands and feet shackled.
The slave trader gave Helot a key and said, "Keep the key safe and don't believe any excuses from the slaves to unlock the shackles. Most slaves will run away as soon as they are freed from their shackles, and some will even attack their masters.
When you no longer need him, sell him to me. Of course, if you need more slaves, please come to me."
"Hahaha, you are an honest businessman. I will come to you if I need anything. Which direction is the Snow Castle?"
"You will see it if you keep walking along this road. If you show some strength, you can be invited into the castle to enjoy a free lunch. If you are lucky, you may even meet Marquis Skovo."
"Thank you, I'm just hungry!"
Helot said goodbye to the slave trader and walked towards the Snow Castle.
The slave followed behind him, dragging his shackles, and the heavy chains didn't seem to have much effect on him.
