Chapter 754: Chapter 517, Little Deermen_2
Fang Hao thought for a moment, it should be the Deermen that the previous Slave Master had mentioned.
He was also curious, wondering what a Deer person looked like.
“Where is it? Let me see.”
“Over here, sir. Follow me.” The slave trader smiled slyly.
They walked a few steps.
And stopped in front of a wooden hut.
The slave trader deliberately raised an eyebrow at Fang Hao and then opened the wooden door.
Inside the hut, there were five Deermen resting on the ground.
Their appearance was noticeably different from that of the rabbit-people and fox-people.

Their upper bodies were human, with delicate facial features and sharp deer ears, with a pair of antlers on their heads.
But their lower bodies were those of a deer, clothed in old flax fabric with four slender deer legs.
Their overall image was more like what was often discussed in the channel, known as Centaur women.
Ah right, they should be called Deermen women now.
“What are you going to do!”
A petite and delicate looking deermen girl asked timidly.
Her body involuntarily shrank back.
“These… did not come voluntarily, did they?” Fang Hao looked at the slave trader.
Contrary to his previous story of tribes changing occupations, the slave trader glared at the Deer person, then continued smiling and said, “It’s fine, all of these people have signed the Slave Contract, there won’t be any danger.”
“Aren’t you changing your profession?”
“These Deermen tribes were attacked, we bought them from the victorious tribe. If not for your needs, they would still be burdened with heavy physical labor until they die of exhaustion or starvation.” The slave trader’s voice was loud.
While explaining to Fang Hao, they also made sure these Deermen understood their current situation.
If Fang Hao didn’t want them, their fate back at home would be even worse.
Sure enough, after hearing the slave trader’s words, the Deermen lowered their heads, one by one, and stopped talking.
The slave trader continued, “Initially, there were more Deermen. However, when we arrived, they had already been executed by the Orcs. There are only a few left.”
No wonder the previous slave master had mentioned Deer people, elders, and children.
It appears that when they arrived, they had already been killed.
“Price remains the same right?”
“Unchanged.”
“Alright, I’ll take these.” Fang Hao nodded.
“Thank you for your generosity, wealthy friend. Now I’ll go get the contract for you. If you want to experience the taste of a Deermen during this time, I recommend that one. She’s the daughter of the Deermen tribal leader and has a high status among the Deermen.” The slave trader pointed to the Deermen girl who had spoken earlier.
The girl’s body shuddered, she pressed her lips together but remained silent.
“Go get the contract.”
“Alright.” The slave trader walked out of the wooden hut.
Fang Hao followed him out as well.
After receiving the contract for the Deermen.
Fang Hao paid the equivalent price in weapons and equipment to the slave traders.
Once the exchange was completed.
The smile on the slave trader’s face grew even brighter.
“Esteemed friend, if there are new slaves in the future, may we contact you?”
“Yes, but I hope it’s their choice.”
“Alright, you truly are a kind person.”
After saying this, the slave trader performed a slight bow and left with his followers and their numerous goods, leaving the temporary camp.
…
After the slave trader left.
All the slaves that had been purchased were gathered in the square.
They all stood with their heads lowered, uneasily awaiting their new master’s speech.
Right now, they couldn’t do anything, they could only pray that their new owner was a bit kinder and wouldn’t treat them too harshly.
After a while.
The young human who had bought this group of them stepped up onto a platform.
He glanced at the crowd below and said loudly, “Alright, everyone raise your heads.”
The crowd below slowly raised their heads.
They stared forward with anxious faces.
Fang Hao continued, “Firstly, you need to understand your status. You are all slaves and I have the right to decide your lives.”
At these words, panic was evident on everyone’s faces.
“But as long as you honestly work, I can guarantee that you’ll have enough to eat and wear. Most importantly, nobody will attack you. You will be protected by the troops.”
The slaves below looked confused.
They glanced at each other, not understanding their master’s intentions.
“So, human master, what work do we need to do to acquire these promises?”
The one who spoke was the Deermen girl.
She seemed to be a bit braver.
“What’s your name?” Fang Hao asked.
“Edith, Master!” Edith spoke softly, and then lowered her head again.
Fang Hao nodded and continued, “I will assign work according to your abilities. If you’re smart and good at math, you can learn accounting. If you’re good at farming, you’ll be assigned to grow crops. Even if you feel you’re quite ordinary, I’ll establish factories in the future where you can work.”
At this, everyone opened their eyes wide.
Learn accounting?
Build factories, what is a factory?
However, they also realised that it seemed their master’s promise wasn’t bad.
At least they got what they wanted.
They got protection and could survive the coming winter.
And of course, they didn’t believe Fang Hao was lying because there was no need to.
To determine their fate, there was no need to resort to excuses like these.
Seeing that no one below was speaking and there was no applause.
Fang Hao didn’t find it very amusing, so he just said, “Alright, everyone follow me back to Orc City of Tasgo.”
