Chapter 39: Goblin Kingdom_2

"Uh... Twenty-something Kings? Are you serious?"

"Yes, only twenty-something. Very few, right?" The "Goblin King" said, looking smugly proud of himself.

Jones could clearly feel that the "King" this "Goblin King" spoke of was not the same concept as the "King" he had in mind.

Thinking for a moment, Jones asked, "May I ask your name?"

"Name? Oh, I'm called Gula. But the slave merchants usually don't call me that. They just call me 'King.' They say it's a title of honor. I'm very proud of it, truly."

Alright, definitely not the same thing. Jones had finally figured it out.

"Gula, can I ask how you sell slaves here? I mean, how much for one?"

"Depends on when."

"Depends on when?"

"Exactly. Sometimes, when too many are born and we can't afford to raise them, we might sell them cheap. One copper coin each. Sometimes, if there aren't that many, our price might be a little higher."

"How high?"

"Five copper coins."

"Five copper coins? Don't you think that's a bit too cheap?"
