Chapter 598: Magnolia City—Buying Slaves
[Outer Domain, Magnolia City]
Falling Magnolia City is one of the biggest cities after Zhiwu City. The city was bustling with people. The businesses here were prosperous. People from other domains always came to visit this city if they came to the Outer Domain to visit the beautiful magnolias during the early spring.
Unfortunately, now the magnolia trees that were planted in the city are covered in snow. There were no flowers to see. Nonetheless, the branches and trunks of the trees that were covered in ice and snow didn’t fail to add another unique beauty to the trees during the winter.
A figure inside a black cloak, wearing a silver mask carved with exquisite lotus patterns, stood outside of the biggest slave market in the city.
As she walked inside, she saw many huge cages imprisoning humans inside. The slaves wore dirty robes, and dirt covered their bodies. Some slaves were not inside the cages, but they walked around, wearing the collars around their necks.
The collars were for preventing the slaves from escaping and disobeying the will of the masters. On each of the slaves’ collars, there were numbers for identifying them.
"Watch where you are going!" A fat man was walking around, holding a book to count the number of slaves. He kicked a slave fiercely when the slave almost hit him.
"Go find your boss." The person in the black cloak stopped in front of the fat man and spoke lightly.
"Who are you? Tsk, pretending to be mysterious." The fat man in a good hanfu was arrogant and didn’t pay attention to the figure in a normal cloak at all.
Because he didn’t sense any spiritual breath from her, he thought that she was a normal person pretending to look mysterious.
The coercion immediately pressed toward them.
