The next day, when Beta wakes up, takes Shirley and Jessica to the dining room for breakfast, and washes the food scraps in her mouth with clean water, Brad walks in.

He glanced at Shirley, then bent down again and said, "Your Excellency, we have prepared the linen cloth you wanted. Can you move out and check if the quality is what you want? ”

Beta looked at Brad, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, nodded, and followed him outside.

On the street opposite the inn, there were thirteen donkey carts lined up with thick brown linen piled on them. One of them, a middle-aged man, as soon as he saw Brad and Beta coming out, he immediately greeted him, bent down deeply, and said, "Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have already shipped the 3,000 meters of linen cloth you need, please accept it. ”

Beta nodded to the man, then walked over to the donkey cart and randomly checked the quality of the linen.

Kadell watched Beta's movements, swallowing non-stop. Although he is very confident in the quality of his linen cloth, it is a matter of the future survival of his shop, and all his hopes are tied to Beta, which can be described as a thought of heaven and a thought of hell.

Beta casually spot-checked, then walked up to Kader and asked, "Good quality, how much." ”

A great sense of happiness immediately filled Kadeer's body, and he replied in a daze: "Eighteen gold coins, Your Excellency, only eighteen gold coins." ”

Beta is well aware that the price is indeed very conscientious. He took out twenty gold coins from the space, put them in Kadr's hand, and said, "You can help me get fifty more scissors, and a hundred thin needles, and the extra two gold coins are the money for these things." ”

Kader held twenty gold coins in his hand, and his eyes were playing. I almost got bitter. If he can't pay off the arrears in another day, then everything will be gone, and these twenty gold coins, after paying off the arrears, there will be at least six or so left. It is more than enough to support the movement of the store.

"I'm going to have someone get it for you."

Beta nodded, and then said, "Please continue to wait here for a while, and when the other person comes, you can transport the sackcloth to the place I designated." ”

"No problem." Khader nodded vigorously, and with twenty gold coins in hand, he was now at ease.

About twenty minutes later, the young steward of the slave market also came, also with a pair of black circles under his eyes. Looks like it was a busy night last night.

"Your Excellency, we have fulfilled your request, now do you intend to go over and see your property?"

Beta nodded, then beckoned to Kadeer's men, pulling thirteen donkey carts, and marching towards the North District. Shirley and Jessica were going to follow along, but Beta let them rest in the inn because of what happened next. They couldn't help much.

More than 700 slaves were housed in a hollow in a mountain north of the city. It has to be said that the people in the slave market do have some intelligence. Such a place not only does not cost them money. And it's not too cold to live in, and it can't freeze those slaves to death, but it won't make them too comfortable.

After taking Beta with him, the young Director left.

Beta walked into the hollow and looked at the group of Yorkist slaves huddled together to keep warm, watching their numb expressions. Look at their sallow skin from long-term hunger, and then look at their tattered clothes, barely covering vital parts, and then show a kind smile.

He raised the magic instrument in his hand: "I think you should be clear. Now you are my people. ”

Almost all the slaves looked up at Beta, and there was no joy or sorrow in their numb eyes.

"Now you have to do my bidding." Beta swept through the crowd and asked, "Who was your leader before, stand up." ”

No one moved.

Beta laughed, "Do you want to disobey your master?" ”

Hearing this, a man in the prime of life finally stood up. His eyes seemed calm, not the calm that comes from the numbness, but a peace of mind. Generally speaking, such a person is usually not the leader of a race, because a person who is too calm does not have much desire, and such a person is not suitable and will not pursue power.

"There's three kilometers of sackcloth here." Beta looked at the young man, then pointed to the donkey cart and said, "You have organized it, and each of you can get three meters of linen cloth for each of you, regardless of gender, old or young." This is used to make clothes, and then the rest of the linen, depending on the situation, will make two pairs of linen shoes per person. Do you understand? When you're done, come back to me, your name. Because if you can't even do that, you won't be able to appear in front of me again, and I'm not going to remember the names of useless slaves. ”

The young man was stunned, and it took him a while to digest what Beta had said: "Lord...... Man, you mean, each of us can be given three meters of linen cloth to make clothes? ”

"I'll just say it once."

After Beta's words, she left the place. He did this on purpose, because in order for the slaves to work for him, he had to create an image of reward and punishment. This is different from the temple of management, the people who come to the temple are all believers, and these are slaves, slaves are the most explosive group, if you want to use them reasonably, you must be able to do one hand carrot and one hand stick.

He went back to the hotel, talked to Shirley and Jessica, and went to sleep.

After resting for half a day, he waited until the afternoon and went to the cave again.

Almost all of the slaves inside were dressed in new linen clothes. Because of the clothes, they no longer felt cold, so they scattered in twos and threes and began to chat. People know that they are shameful, and with clothes to cover their bodies and resist the cold, the numbness in their eyes has disappeared a lot.

Seeing Beta coming, the slaves spontaneously gathered together.

In the morning, the young man who stood up stood at the front.

Beta pointed at him and said, "Well done, now you can say your name out loud." ”

"My name is Lloyd."

"Good." Beta complimented the other and then asked, "Come here, I have other things to leave to you." ”

Lloyd walked up to Beta.

This man was taller than Beta, and his face looked resolute. But such a person can only grovel in front of Beta, and he can't even really look into Beta's eyes. Because on his back, there is a slave inscription. It was used as a means of controlling slaves. There is a kind of spiritual suggestion magic in the inscription, which will make the person who has such an inscription slowly become afraid to oppose the master.

Of course, this is only the ideal state. If there is too much hatred in the hearts of slaves, there is no way to suppress the malice in the hearts of slaves by relying on slave inscriptions alone.

Beta looked at him, took out thirty gold coins from his air backpack, and said, "Take this money, take a few people, and go to the street to buy a few truckloads of dry food and come back." Tomorrow you will leave the city with me. Go to another place, if you starve to death on the way, it has nothing to do with me, anyway, I have a lot of money, so it's a big deal to buy another batch of slaves. That's right. It would be better to buy a few more empty donkey carts to carry the old people. ”

Lloyd took the thirty gold coins and asked, "Why are you so nice to us?" ”

"Because I have to get you to do the work for me." Beta replied casually, "I'll come over tomorrow, and of course you can run away at night." As long as you run a hundred kilometers away, I can't kill you with a magic inscription, so you can consider this plan. ”

Everyone in the Yorks had heard Beta's words, but there was not even the slightest hope or wave in anyone's eyes.

Lloyd smiled bitterly: "Master, don't be joking, if we could escape, we would have escaped a long time ago." ”

"Whether it's a joke or not, you know it very well." After Beta's words, he left. Leaving Lloyd in place, his expression unpredictable.

After a long while, Lloyd turned and shouted at his people, "Ace, Smok, Chopper, you three come out with me." The others are waiting where they are, and if anyone wants to escape, it's best to do it now. Our new master has actually allowed you to escape, but he didn't say it explicitly. But I personally don't want you to do that, because after the slave goes out, he is still a slave, but we may not meet such a good master again. ”

At this time, an old man stood up. He was wearing a brand-new linen robe, and then said: "Lloyd, I was originally the village chief, and now this position is so important, then I will continue to take office, and you will be the deputy village chief." ”

Lloyd laughed sarcastically: "Old fellow, why our Yorks have fallen into this situation is not directly related to you. You still want me to give you back the position of village head? Anyone else, any one of them, can be the village chief, but you can't. You can see that our new master is a great man, and he must have a future with him, can't I see it? ”

"Lloyd, you!" The old man was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

But Lloyd did not leave him, and left with three people.

The three of them went out of the cave, and they looked at the crowd of people coming and going in the street, and their eyes were extremely greedy.

They have been locked in a cage for nearly half a year, not to mention that the clothes they wear are not good, they even eat very little, and they drink some batter every day so that they will not starve to death, but they do not have much strength to make trouble.

One of them approached Lloyd and asked, "Big brother, are we trying to escape?" ”

"Run? Where can you go? Lloyd looked at the man beside him and said angrily: "Our new master is a magician, and if he doesn't use the inscription on the back, he can find us and kill us with magic alone." It doesn't matter if we die, what do you think we should do if it affects other villagers? ”

All three were speechless.

"As I said, this is a good host. So we have to do what he tells us beautifully, and try to strengthen our weight in his heart. This is how we will survive in the future. ”

Lloyd said this, and then sped up his walking. (To be continued.) )
