Quickly, Su Li followed Master Kote's lead to the trading caravan's slave camp.
The endless rain had ended, and the sun was shining brightly. Having reached their destination, the members of the slave capture team were in good spirits. They immediately dragged the slaves out from the ship's hold and tents to the square, letting them bask in the sunlight, ridding them of the mildew odor.
Upon successfully reaching the destination, these slaves were treasures; each one a gleaming Golden Crown. They absolutely couldn't afford to let them die.
If at this time any member of the slave capture team caused a slave to die, the enraged senior members of the merchant guild would throw the offending member into the slave camp to compensate for the loss.
If you've ever seen a black slave auction, you'd have a more direct impression of how the slave camp operates.
After the slave capture team reaches a territory, they stay for a few days, waiting for nearby farm owners to gather.
