Are the two girls commodities?
Oh~ I remember now.
At this moment, Sean seemed to recall that he had heard a lot of rumors when he was a count. Those nobles and wealthy businessmen who liked to buy exotic girls often bought girls from the Adak area!
I remember that when I was in Oro City, the local wealthy Morgan family once asked me if I wanted a woman he had just brought from the Adak area.
At that time, the border crossings were still open, and several wealthy families controlled part of the profits of border trade. Of course, there were also many people who flattered him... Similar situations occurred several times, but at that time Karlyana had already arrived in the city, and she happened to be Frelia's follower, so Sean had never had the chance to enjoy it.
"You mean they're trafficking girls?"
"Well, it should be... The war in Basaran has not yet completely ended, but the refugees are in great need of life. This situation exists everywhere." Melsusa said.
In this world, no country openly resists the human trafficking business. In fact, for many homeless and hungry families, it is better to sell their children as servants. This way, the family will have money and the children who cannot afford to support themselves can also survive.
Go to a wealthy family...you won't have to worry about food and clothing, and you won't live too badly.
If you can gain the favor of your master or marry one of his subordinates, that would be a good destination, much better than wandering around and starving, or even being robbed and killed by thieves or bandits at any time.
Sean remembered that most of the servants in the Earl's Mansion in Oro City were bought in this way. He even remembered that a maid once begged him if he could buy back all her sisters.
In that case...
Sean looked at the businessmen in front of him, and those opposite him didn't dare to look up.
Above my head, I was still muttering "worry!" and "fear!"...
"Don't be nervous, we are Jagun's army. We happened to pass by here and saw someone nearby, so we came over to check." Sean interrupted Melsusa and said.
"Jagon...are they the Sun King's troops? I didn't expect you to be the Jagon army. Does this mean the war in Basaran is over?"
The news that the Sun King sent troops to help Bashalan was not news in the entire desert. Given the strength of the army, the battle could be over in a short time.
So appearing in the desert at this time shouldn't be anything new...
Now that they are back, it means the war is won.
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with you. Since you are businessmen, just mind your own business." Melsusa said sternly.
Since the other party is not an enemy, they pose no threat to the troops. Everyone should just go their own way and not disturb each other.
Perhaps the merchants saw that the men had no ill intentions, and that Jagun's army had a high prestige among the desert countries and had always been regarded as a leader of the country, so they became bolder... His eyes rolled as if he remembered something and he suddenly called Sean.
"Master Jun, your honorable General!"
"...We didn't know you were from Jagun's army, so we were really sorry for hiding! To show our respect...what do you think of these goods?" Pointing to the two girls behind him.
This businessman had a good eye. He could tell from silent observation that the person with the highest status here was Sean.
"What do you want to say?"
Sean said as he saw the "Test!" sign appear above the other person's head.
"It's like this. We've been traveling around the desert as peddlers for a long time. We haven't seen many armies on a daily basis, so we apologize for the offense just now..."
The couple said a lot of polite words but didn't get to the point.
"What exactly do you want to say? If you don't say it, I'm leaving." Sean asked.
"Don't...don't go yet, General. I mean, if you like any girl, you can take her. Look at these girls...they are all from the south, pretty and gentle. If you like them, I'll give them to you."
While the merchant was talking, Sean took a deliberate look at the two girls before him. The girls from Adak were indeed slender and graceful. Although they wore veils, their exposed eyes looked particularly charming. Their biggest difference from the girls from Basaran was their eyes. One of them even had white hair.
Sean has rarely seen girls with white hair so far, and this hair color always attracts his attention every time he sees it...but the one in front of him might have a problem.
"Would you give it to me for no reason?" Sean asked with a smile.
"General, don't worry. They are all girls from ordinary families in the south. They just came here because several small towns in the south were recently robbed by the Golden Group and their families were all killed..."
"The Golden Group is here again?" Even Melsusa became serious when the Golden Group was mentioned.
"Yes, it is said that after the Golden Group suffered heavy losses in the war with the Bashalan Empire, many of the survivors joined forces with people from other places. They robbed many places in the south some time ago. I guess they are recruiting soldiers again." The businessman shook his head and said.
"It's hard for the residents over there!"
Sure enough, there are still people alive.
Sean understood what the other party meant from his words. There were still some survivors among the Golden Group that he had buried before... He sent people to look for them at that time, but they were never found.
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
At that time in Koga City, even a level 9 Orderer named Weisman was able to escape, not to mention the Golden Group of higher levels and more experienced people. They probably used some kind of escape method.
I glanced at Melsuza beside me. She was also [Thinking!]...
