After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1356

Chapter 1356: Elementalist Slaves Auction

This was something many of the aborigines had never seen before. The invitees this time were from far away, after all, and some of them didn’t even know there were new ‘foreigners’ that had arrived.

It has to be said: the information was really tight in Xeno. So many months had passed, and so many people in the region were still not privy to the fact that they had a ‘farm’ of elementalists appearing in the world.

Those who knew kept it to themselves, even planning on how to get some as well.

Of course, Mafo knew this, and after so long, more and more people knew. This was why he held this, so he could make more money while he could! Besides, those from too far away would have to invest huge amounts of money to even reach here or to bid wars, and Mafo was definitely taking advantage of this!

“Again, we will only sell 100 today. For the next couple of months, only 50 or fewer would be available! Buy them now while you can!”

“Let the auction begin!”

Applause resounded in the hall, and Mafo happily went down the stage, allowing the host to regain control of the attention.

The host was a slave named Eian, one of the good-looking men in the territory. Since Mafo obtained him a couple of years ago, he quickly became a favorite by virtue of his handsome face and his wit.

He was actually the son of a lord of a now-fallen village, and had once been the heir to the Lordship. This was why he was literate, articulate, and quite charming.

Most importantly, his level had climbed to above average in a Town, reaching Level 28 at a relatively young age! A top-class slave, indeed.

“Good day, esteemed guests! This is your Host, Eian, and I will be serving you today!” He chirped, combing back his blue-violet hair as he turned to the lines of slaves behind him.

His eyes flickered a bit, but nothing else showed on his face nor in his body language.

He simply pulled his eyes away from the slaves and to the servants assigned to assist him, signalling them to proceed.

They pulled a thin middle-aged man to the front. The man was shaking in fear as he was dragged to the stage.

“First one… is a fire elementalist! Level 8 and not yet awakened, but moldable to become a brave guard!”

Generally, typical humans sold for a gold or less in Towns, while Elementalists could sell 50 Gold at the lowest. This was tens of times more, even if the elementalist was half the level of a normal human!

Of course, the prices were different in Cities, and that was why they wanted to invite them here.

Slaves were sold in Towns at much higher prices than in villages. People, even the weak ones, were just more useful there.

Villages were simply too weak to maximize their forces, and would tend to simply use the slaves as meat shields to protect themselves. There were also far more wars between villages, so there were a lot more slaves, so the value of normal human slaves was not too high.

To compare, if a typical human sold 10-50 silvers in a village, that same low-leveled person could be sold for 10 times as much, at 1 to 5 Gold in a Town.

Another reason for this was that Towns had much higher capacities. It wasn’t like high-leveled people could procreate as well as low-leveled people.

There was also a large proportion of better-off people in Towns, and they could afford to buy a few slaves to serve in their homes.

That said, he was reluctant to let go of most of those already awakened and were at a high level, so a good portion of today’s livestock had not even awakened yet. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
