I have a wizarding world

Renault was a knight of the Duchy of Nova, that is, if the Duchy of Nova still existed.

In Earth terms, Renault was a textbook example of a 'tall, rich, and handsome' man. Over 1.9 meters tall, with a sculpted, resolute face, noble birth, and extraordinary strength.

Anywhere he went, he was the kind of man who would make noblewomen and young ladies scream.

But now, he was a slave.

Slave, such a lowly word, Renault had always thought so, so lowly that even a glance would feel like an insult to his noble status.

But now, he was a slave, locked in a cage for people to choose, like a commodity, no, even less than a commodity, at least people wouldn't point fingers at commodities.

"This one."

Fang Cheng pointed at Renault, speaking to the steward behind him.

Hearing this, the steward hesitated.

"What? You're not selling this slave?" Fang Cheng asked, noticing the strange look on his face.

"Selling, of course, we're selling. It's just that the price" The steward wiped the sweat from his face, unsure if it was from the heat or nervousness.

"How many gold coins?" Fang Cheng didn't waste words, putting on a show of being rich and generous.

"Ten thousand gold coins." The steward held up a finger, his tone firm, as if to say the price was non-negotiable.

Fang Cheng gasped.

Fang Cheng was well aware of the purchasing power of gold coins.

What was the concept of ten thousand gold coins? It was the equivalent of an ordinary family's expenses for ten thousand years. This amount of money could not be described as merely 'expensive'.

It was a fortune.

Fang Cheng was silent, he was unsure, there must be something he didn't understand.

"Sir, he is a knight." Seeing Fang Cheng's silence, Will stepped forward and said solemnly.

Knight, again a knight, this was the second time he had heard that title today.

"Isn't he a slave?" Fang Cheng questioned.

"Sir, he is indeed a slave, but he is a formal knight. Such slaves are very rare, ten thousand gold coins is not expensive," the steward explained from the side.

Fang Cheng still didn't quite understand, but he wisely chose to shut up. He didn't know why a slave with a noble status was so expensive, it didn't seem to make sense.

Fang Cheng glanced at Will, who nodded to him.

Fang Cheng pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll take him."

Hearing this, the steward almost jumped up with excitement, his face flushed, muttering, "Sir, this transaction is too big, I really can't make the decision, I need to ask our chamber of commerce supervisor for instructions."

Fang Cheng nodded.

Seeing Fang Cheng nod, the steward immediately bowed, repeatedly saying, "Please wait a moment, I'll go get the supervisor." In his excitement, he lost all composure.

"噔噔噔!"

The steward ran off, disappearing in an instant.

After a short while.

A woman in a red silk robe, with a black belt around her waist and a light purple hairpin in her hair, walked over with graceful bearing, her eyes sparkling.

Fang Cheng guessed that this should be the general manager of the Rose Chamber of Commerce in Morton City.

"I heard the call of the lark (a colorful bird from another world, signifying good luck) early this morning, and sure enough, we have distinguished guests today," as she spoke, the woman even gave Fang Cheng a flirtatious look, "My name is Joanna, what is your name, sir?"

"Fang Cheng." Fang Cheng also bowed to Joanna.

Clearly, Joanna's flirtatious look was wasted, although she still had her charm, Fang Cheng had no interest in a woman who might be older than his mother.

"Mr. Fang Cheng wants to buy that knight?" Although she had heard it from the steward, Joanna naturally wanted to confirm it herself to be sure.

"That's right."

Getting Fang Cheng's confirmation, Joanna breathed a sigh of relief. This deal, even for her, was the biggest transaction she had encountered since taking charge of the Rose Chamber of Commerce.

She couldn't help but take it seriously.

"Since you want to buy this knight, then I have to make some things clear in advance," Joanna's expression became serious.

Fang Cheng nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

"His name is Renault, the son of a count from the Duchy of Nova, captured during the war that destroyed the Duchy of Nova." At this point, Joanna paused.

Renault in the cage, hearing this, his originally calm face became ferocious.

Joanna turned a blind eye to Renault's expression and continued, "He himself has no problems, and the Duchy of Nova no longer exists, buying him will not provoke retaliation from the Duchy of Nova."

"But?" Fang Cheng asked.

Hearing this, Joanna smiled, "Mr. Fang Cheng is an impatient man."

Fang Cheng shrugged and smiled.

"But," Joanna's smile disappeared, "he has a sister, studying magic at the Black and White Tower." At this point, Joanna's voice was almost inaudible.

"What?" Joanna's last words were so low that Fang Cheng didn't quite hear them.

"His sister is a wizard apprentice, a low-level wizard apprentice," Joanna said, sounding somewhat nervous.

Logically speaking, a knight slave is a rare commodity that is hard to come by, no matter where you are. The reason why the Rose Chamber of Commerce's knight slave hasn't been sold until now is because of this.

No one wants to offend a wizard, even if it's just a low-level apprentice.

Fang Cheng was silent, he wasn't worried about offending a wizard, but he felt a little confused inside after hearing this information.

The world seemed to be a little different from what he had expected, it didn't just seem like a simple medieval civilization.

Now there was an excellent way to really understand this world, thinking of this, Fang Cheng looked at Renault in the cage.

He must buy him, Fang Cheng thought to himself.

Joanna quietly watched the pondering Fang Cheng, not interrupting, after all, it concerned offending a wizard, and no amount of careful consideration was too much.

"I want to buy him." After a long while, Fang Cheng finally spoke.

Hearing this, Joanna breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Sir, you will definitely get your money's worth."

Fang Cheng just smiled at these words, not taking them seriously.

"I also need to select some other slaves."

Joanna was probably in a great mood after making such a big deal, and said happily, "For anything less than a hundred slaves, our chamber of commerce will give them to you for free, as a small token of our appreciation."

How generous, Fang Cheng sneered.

Fang Cheng had also asked Will about the price of slaves during the time the steward was gone. An ordinary slave usually cost less than one gold coin.

In other words, Joanna's seemingly generous gesture was only worth a mere hundred gold coins.

Seeming to see the playfulness in Fang Cheng's eyes, Joanna coughed lightly and said, "Plus two half-elf female slaves."

Hearing this, Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, don't misunderstand, it wasn't because of the words 'female slaves', but because of the words 'half-elf'.

Fang Cheng was increasingly certain that this world was completely different from what he had originally imagined.

Seeing Fang Cheng regain his interest, Joanna also covered her mouth and laughed.

Next, Fang Cheng was selecting slaves, the whole process took a full hour. By the time Fang Cheng had selected ten slaves and paid the gold coins, it was already afternoon.

Fang Cheng rubbed his somewhat hungry stomach and suddenly felt a headache.

Although there were places like restaurants in this other world, Fang Cheng really couldn't compliment the food inside, saying it was bad was an understatement.

Helpless, Fang Cheng still endured the discomfort and ate a meal there. Fortunately, there were several cooks among the slaves he had purchased this time, but Fang Cheng didn't have much hope for their skills either.

More than a dozen slaves couldn't fit in the carriage, so Fang Cheng had to rent two more carriages from the chamber of commerce.

Fang Cheng's group of more than a dozen slaves and three carriages walking on the streets of Morton City was quite a sight.

The common people on the street automatically avoided them, for fear of getting into trouble.

It was already evening when Fang Cheng returned to his manor.

Along the way, Fang Cheng had also seen the two so-called half-elf female slaves. According to Will, half-elf female slaves were the children of humans and elves.

Because of the impure bloodline, they were neither accepted by humans nor by elves, and the fatal thing was that these half-elves were usually very beautiful. Therefore, half-elves, regardless of gender, were bestsellers among slaves.

Especially female slaves, one could often be sold for a hundred gold coins.

This was the sorrow of having only beauty and no power.

Fang Cheng looked at the two half-elf female slaves in front of him and didn't speak for a long time. The two half-elf female slaves seemed to be two sisters, at this time, they were huddled to one side, shivering.

Fang Cheng looked at the two beautiful female slaves, somewhat helpless, was he that scary? All the way, they had this look of being overly frightened, which made Fang Cheng quite irritable.

Didn't they know that this would more easily arouse a man's bestial desires?

Maybe they were just too scared, Fang Cheng thought silently.

This dark world.
