RISE OF EROS

CHAPTER 366

When Andrew and the others saw the slave market they were surprised. Even Oliver couldn't help but be surprised, because although he already knew it, the slave market more than 10 years ago and the one now were very different.

This place looked like a barnyard animal farm. There was a huge tent made of thick cloth every 5 meters, which was the slave store, and behind these tents, there was a wooden corral where the slaves were gathered.

The number of tents and corrals was impressive and had the same area as the built territory of the city, not to mention how lively the scene was since the number of people entering the market was not small.

Seeing this, Andrew once again understood how cruel this world is against the weak because there are no laws or rules that protect them. Andrew had entered different slave markets, but none like this.

The ones he had entered were always organized and all the establishments were clean buildings with cells and rooms, which, although it was not better than this place, at least the slaves seemed like prisoners, in this market, the slaves were more animals.

Leaving those thoughts behind, Andrew got off the carriage in which he was, along with Oliver, Castor, and Sonia, since carriages cannot travel in the narrow streets of the slave market.

The four of them did not have to walk far, since the best slave shops are always close to the city. Shadow's agents had offered him some names of recommended slave shops before leaving and that's where they were heading.

Before long, they arrived at a white tent that was no smaller than a two-story house. At the entrance, there were two armed men with a serious expression and although they were not very strong, they were very disciplined.

Although there were guards, none of them prevented them from entering. Andrew and the others entered the tent which seemed even more spacious inside than it looked outside.

Andrew couldn't help but look around, but there weren't many things to see. There were several customers, talking to the vendors, and some furniture was scattered in different spaces of the tent.

In a short time, a well-dressed, middle-aged man with a well-groomed beard approached them saying, "Welcome to Bula's farm. How can I help you today?"

Andrew couldn't help but wrinkle his face upon hearing these slavers refer to their businesses as "Farms," but he quickly recovered and said, "Thank you, we are looking for some young, beautiful girls for our pleasure house."

"I see. Does the gentleman have a preference? Race?" the salesperson continued to ask and Andrew immediately responded, "No preference. If you have variety it will be much better."

The middle-aged man smiled and with a wave of his hand, asked them to follow him. They walked to the end of the tent and left it. Now they were in front of the corral gate, where many guards could be seen.

These guards were of the same level as those at the tent door, but there were many of them and among them, there were some experts, so it could be seen that this slaver was not weak at all.

They entered the corral and there they could see countless people sitting in tattered clothes, bodies covered in sweat and dirt. There were more than a thousand people gathered in this place, but the only one who felt any discomfort with the image was Andrew since everyone else found it normal.

Without delay, the middle-aged seller called one of the guards and said something to him and this guard along with other of his companions mingled among the crowd of slaves and after about 10 minutes, they returned bringing about 50 girls.

Although they were dirty, the beauty of these women could not be hidden. They were of different races, but the most abundant were those of the human and barbarian races, but there were also some forest elves and dwarves.

Contrary to what Andrew believed, the dwarves of this world look nothing like how they are portrayed on Earth. Certainly, there are old dwarves, with thick beards and toned muscles, but the young ones are different.

Although they have well-defined muscles, not all of them have beards. The young dwarves look like ordinary human children. They measure approximately 1.50 meters and their skins are generally tanned by the fire of the blacksmithing they practice.

For this reason, young dwarf women are miniature beauties. Because of their height, their curves were not very pronounced, but somehow they looked beautiful, Andrew couldn't stop seeing them as children.

He had conflicting thoughts because although it was true that they were beautiful, their small bodies and angelic faces made them look like infants, which made Andrew feel a little complicated.

At that moment, Fluffy spoke to his mind, "Master, abandon your foolish thoughts. They are certainly small, but most of them are older than you. While dwarves are not as long-lived as demons and elves, they are at least 3 or 4 times longer-lived than humans."

Andrew knew this, but it still bothered him. Putting those thoughts aside, he concentrated on looking at the middle-aged salesman who said, "Sir, these are the best girls in this lot, please take a look if you are interested in any."

Andrew just nodded and glanced at Sonia. He had brought her to help him choose the girls since she is the matron of the Heavenly Palace, and she has a good eye for courtesans.

Without any hesitation, Andrew and Sonia approached the girls who were standing there, with dead looks and shackles on their hands and feet. Andrew used his eyes of Eros to choose the best girls, while Sonia used her intuition, which was surprisingly good for these situations.

After watching the girls for about 20 minutes, Andrew and Sonia returned to where Oliver, Castor, and the middle-aged salesman were. Sonia approached Andrew and began to tell him the number of slaves she thought were good.

Each slave has a number written in ink on her arm, to make it easier to identify them. Sonia had chosen 7 girls, of which 2 were human, they were probably residents of the kingdom of Dunnas, since their skin was wheat-colored like the women of this country.

4 of the girls were barberian. They all had athletic bodies with toned muscles, but they didn't look muscular like the bodybuilders on Earth, just firm and beautiful bodies.

The last girl that Sonia chose is a dwarf with short hair and big eyes. Her face is beautiful and angelic, not to mention her curves were in the right places, she was a little beauty.

As reluctant as Andrew was with dwarfs, he would not let that deprive him of taking the best girls, so after observing with his eyes of Eros the girls chosen by Sonia, he told the Seller to separate them, "Well, I would buy them".

The seller smiled because closing a deal on 7 high-quality slaves was a good deal, but he was soon surprised when Andrew also called 8 other courtesans.

There were 3 elves, 2 dwarves, 2 barbarians, and 1 human. The seller was elated, as it was a big deal, and immediately had the excluded women separated and began to discuss the price and payment.

Although all the girls chosen were considered high quality, not all of them had the same price. Unexpectedly, the barbarian ones were the cheapest, followed by the human ones and the elven and dwarf ones had a similar price, as they were more difficult to obtain, so they were expensive.

Andrew didn't worry about haggling, because he still didn't like these places, so he wanted to leave quickly, so he finished the procedures, paid, and left with the 15 slaves following him.

Although he was a bit conspicuous, Andrew made the carriage they were riding go slowly and had the newly purchased slave girls follow behind him. The scene of 15 beautiful girls, with dirty bodies, scanty clothes, and of different races following a carriage was impressive.

After an hour they arrived at the Star Palace, which was already being guarded by several guards. Andrew at that time thought that he should have bought some barbarian slaves for security, but he would do it another time.

Andrew along with his servant and the slaves entered the establishment and without delay, Andrew said, "Sonia, take the girls to bathe and see if we have suitable clothes for them. If we don't have one, tell me so I can make arrangements."

Sonia nodded vehemently and took the girls to the bathroom. The girls followed Sonia obediently and although they had dead expressions on their faces, they were still surprised to see the huge and luxurious bathroom. With authority, Sonia ordered them to undress and clean themselves, which the slaves did without question.

While they were washing, one of the girls couldn't contain herself and asked Sonia, "Mrs. Sonia, will we be courtesans?"

All the other girls, upon hearing the question, immediately turned to look at Sonia, because they were all interested in what the future held for them, but they never expected Sonia to burst out laughing after hearing the question.

They were all confused, since they did not understand why Sonia was laughing and it was only after a few minutes that Sonia calmed down and responded, "I am not the lady of this place, I am the matron, call me madame":
