The chaotic night passed quickly, and the early morning in Luskan was much quieter than in other big cities. The **, thieves, robbers, and all sorts of criminal gangs that traded all returned to their lairs to rest, and only the sporadic drunks and robbers got up from the ground and returned to their ships. Captain Hawke got up early, and he directed the sailors to carry the cargo boxes to the deck and empty the holds. Because soon the ship will receive a large number of slaves, he also needs to prepare enough fresh water for these guys to bathe. Otherwise, it would be fun if there was some infectious disease at sea.

Henry had also gotten up early, and Vaughn had been a little more cheerful after the conversation of the previous evening. In the morning, he took the initiative to ask Henry for weapons and armor, and a human half-length armor was a little tight on his body, but it didn't affect his movements. Two large axes of pure steel were slung around his waist, and his head was covered with a fully enclosed helmet. Henry looked at the mighty orc and smiled, "With your current weight, if you fall into the sea, I can't save you, it only takes three minutes for you to sink underwater." Vaughn opened his visor and grinned and replied, "I don't need anyone to save my life, I can swim even in armor." When I was in the Northlands, I single-handedly dragged a calf in the icy sea. After saying that, the orc's face showed pride and confidence. Vaughn, don't be a crew member and be my bodyguard. I need a warrior with strong martial arts skills to help me fend off sneak attacks and assassinations. The orc patted his armor and said, "No problem, you're the boss, you have the final say." ”

While the two were chatting, a long line came from the docks, and a large number of slaves, with only a few strips of cloth on their bodies, were escorted with their hands tied behind their backs. A fat middle-aged man walked in front, and as soon as he saw the captain and Henry standing on the deck, he opened his hands and shouted, "My friends! I'm trading with the best goods, and I hope I can satisfy both you and me this time. Captain Hawke went down and hugged Bruce, pointed to the wooden box on the deck, and said, "Look, the spices, silks, and drugs are all ready for you, but I wonder if the slaves you brought will satisfy my boss." Bruce smiled and patted his stomach and said, "Rest assured, my slaves have always been healthy and will never suffer from any diseases." Then he broke the mouth of a slave next to him and continued, "Look at the healthy teeth, there is no wear and tear. Then he patted the slave's chest and said, "The body is strong, and there is no disease." Later, he pinched the Ru room of a female ** subordinate and said: "The breasts are plump and have not been abused and violated, they are all healthy and passed." Don't worry about them rioting or not following orders. ”

Henry also walked over at this time, and the mighty orcs followed closely behind him. He said to Bruce, "Sir, I'm quite happy with your slaves, and now we can start trading." With that, he motioned for the sailors to begin to lift the boxes down. The obese merchant carefully opened each box to inspect the contents of the box, flipped it with his hand and sniffed it from time to time. When he got the drugs, he motioned for the guard next to him to lick them, and the guard gave an affirmative answer before the wooden strip was resealed. The goods were quickly loaded onto the wagon, and Bruce came over and said, "The goods are fine, especially the drugs are of the highest quality." According to the price I said yesterday, I should pay you 220,000 gold coins. Now you can start receiving slaves. With that, he asked the guards to start driving the slaves onto the ship. These people who were tied with these hands were dull-eyed, quietly obeying orders, without the slightest emotion of resistance, it seemed that they were indeed as the merchant said, they were ** very well.

After carefully counting the numbers, Hawke said to the merchant, "One thousand two hundred adult males, one thousand adult females, five hundred children between ten and fourteen years of age, and no old men. Ninety-six plus fifty thousand plus ten thousand and fifteen thousand is a total of 160,000, and you still need to pay us 60,000 gold coins. Henry came over to Bruce and said, "Mr. Merchant, I don't want these gold coins. Isn't there a way for you to get more slaves? Bruce smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, this is all I have in stock." Who wouldn't want to do such a good business, but most of Luskan's slaves were monopolized by the five archlords. If you need more slaves, you need to contact them directly. After saying that, he commanded his entourage to carry several large wooden boxes. Pointing to the boxes, he said, "These are the balances of the goods, please come and have some of them." After careful counting, he found nothing wrong, and Henry said to the merchant, "Then it is a pleasure to cooperate with Mr. Bruce." The fat merchant nodded and said, "Happy cooperation, I hope to come to me next time there is such a deal." Hawke knew where to find me. Then I'll take my leave. With that, he slowly left the dock with the caravan.

On deck, the sailors had already begun to wash the slaves, and some of the rude fellows wanted to take advantage of the women, but the barbarian leader picked them up with one hand and threw them aside. According to the rules of the barbarians, these men, women, and children were Henry's private property, and no one was allowed to move at will. Trying to take advantage of him here is tantamount to provoking him. After the slaves had bathed, Henry sent to buy some old clothes for the slaves to wear, and prepared some food for them to eat in the cabin. When everything was settled, he said to the old captain: "There are only more than two thousand people, and half of them are women. This amount simply does not meet our basic needs. Hawke took a deep puff of his pipe and exhaled a puff of mist before saying, "There's no way, there's only so much we can buy at the moment." If you want more, you'll have to risk trading with the Lords, but be wary of them being cannibalistic scoundrels. ”

Henry nodded and said, "I understand, let's let the ships full of slaves set sail and dock outside the harbor." If anything happens, it is better to retreat, and as for these empty ships in the harbor, they will give up if they can't do it. The old captain agreed, stood up, and began to direct a pirate ship full of slaves to fill up and leave the harbor. Seeing a ship safely out of port, Henry left Amy alone and returned to the bent dagger to await news of the halfling. Three days had passed, and Henry was now watching a thrilling fight in the dilapidated hotel. From ** to sailors, from wine bottles, benches, daggers, daggers, and sharp nails of women. The bartender ducked under the bar with his head down, while Henry smiled and blessed himself with a stone skin and sat on the sidelines to watch. No one dared to come near here, because the arms of the two strong men on the ground had been corroded to the bones by the acid.

Suddenly, a short halfling nimbled through the crowd of people who were fighting and came to Henry, and after arranging his clothes, he said, "Hello dear Mr. Mage, I hope you remember poor Jimmy." Grand Commander Balaam asked me to tell you that he agreed to a deal with you. I hope to talk to Mr. Master in the sewers tonight about the details of the transaction, and I'll be here to show you the way in the evening. Henry looked at the diminutive halfling and said, "Well, I know what to do, and I'm looking forward to meeting tonight." Plus, it's a reward for you. With that, he took out a bottle of magic potion and threw it over. The halfling sensitively took the bottle and sniffed it lightly, recognizing it as a bottle of invisibility potion. For a thief like him, this potion is his second life. After carefully putting the potion in his pocket, Jimmy bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your generosity, then I will take my leave." See the mighty Mr. Mage in the evening. After saying that, he walked out of the chaotic hotel unscathed.

After a while, the soldiers of Luskan arrived, and everyone except the bartender and Henry was taken away and imprisoned. These guys will have to stay there until at least tomorrow morning, and then pay a fine to come out. The bartender was not arrested because the tavern had some connection to the thieves' union in the city, and Henry was not arrested because they saw the acid on the ground. As ordinary soldiers, they don't have much spell recognition ability, but one thing the commanders will tell them when they take office is not to mess with mages in the city. Apparently they executed it well. Henry sat quietly in the corner, drinking the fresh juice he had asked the bartender to squeeze for him. Night soon fell, and the once empty hotel began to bustle again. The heavily smeared ** and the rude sailor are here day by day to perform the repertoire of drinking and drunk, and it didn't take long for Jimmy to walk in. He said to Henry, "Are you ready, Mr. Mage, and if you are ready, then we will set out now." Henry nodded at him, stood up, and put his hood on.

Jimmy led Henry into the street, where he cautiously stared at the homeless and beggars on the side of the street and walked quickly. After a while, he came to the entrance of a sewer, pointed inside, and said, "The entrance is here, please follow me, there are occasionally some monsters and robbers here." After following the halfling inside, Henry felt a foul smell coming over his nose, which made him almost vomit the juice he had just drunk. Quickly blessed himself with an air filter, so that he dared to breathe smoothly. Jimmy was running fast ahead, and every time he came to the intersection he would look back at Henry and take out a small mirror and shake it at the intersection a few times before making sure it was safe to do so before running again. In the criss-crossing sewers, the two men marched for half an hour to an iron gate, and the halfling stepped forward and began to knock on the iron pillar with a special rhythm. Two minutes later, a masked thief came out of the shadows and said, "Jimmy! People brought? The Grand Commander has been waiting," the halfling nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I brought this Mr. Mage here." You see he's right behind me. The thief opened the door and motioned for Henry to go inside, then told Jimmy to turn and leave.
