Henry walked down the dark, damp road, and the walls on both sides of the sewer were cut through the walls. He could sense that there was someone behind him, and if there was an enemy, he believed that countless arrows would be shot from these holes, turning the incoming offender into a hedgehog. Ten minutes later, the narrow intersection widened suddenly, and he came to a hall in a sewer. Surrounded by a number of armoured men in armor stood on either side, and on the seat in the middle sat a tall man, next to this man stood a mage in robes. Henry smiled and walked out to the tall man and said, "Hello, Honorable Grand Commander Ballam. I heard you're going to talk to me about trading in person? The Grand Commander stood up and said, "Yes Mage, I have heard that you have acquired a large number of slaves this morning, and you are interested in continuing to do so. Can you tell me what to do with so many slaves?"

Henry smiled and said, "Of course, my territory is too small and needs a large number of healthy laborers. However, because the location did not attract many immigrants, I came to Luskan, the only port in the entire Northland where the slave trade was allowed to be openly carried out. The Grand Commander glanced at the mage behind him and said, "How many more slaves do you need?" Henry also secretly glanced at the mage and said, "A lot, I can eat as much as you want." After sitting down, Balam thought for a moment, raised his head to Henry, and said, "I have nearly six thousand slaves in my hands, and if you need them, take them all." However, I hope that there will be a batch of magic potions and scrolls to offset the payment. Henry lowered his head and considered his inventory before saying, "No problem, I'll pay for a portion of the spell scrolls and potions." However, the scroll may contain some magic scrolls, I hope you understand. ”

The mage, who was originally silent, suddenly spoke, "Can I ask you about the level of the spell scroll?" Henry glanced at Balam meaningfully and said, "I have scrolls of levels 1 to 6 and 1 to 5 spells, and there are quite a few of them. Hearing this, the mage turned around and whispered a few words to the Grand Commander, after which Baram turned to Henry and said, "If you agree to let my mage advisors prioritize the selection of some high-level scrolls, I can increase the number of slaves to eight thousand." If your ship can't be transported at once, I can sell you two cargo ships. But I need to see your sincerity first. Henry took out two Death Cloud Techniques and two Healing Techniques from the dimensional pouch and held them gently in his hands. The people around him were visibly nervous, and the mage hid his hand in the wide sleeve so that no one else could see his spell gesture. Henry gently placed the scroll in his hand on the ground, and then slowly retreated until the people around him disarmed before stopping. Balam walked over and picked up the four scrolls and handed them to his advisor, the mage picked them up and examined them before nodding and saying, "Quite powerful Death Cloud Technique and Healing Technique, we have taken these scrolls." At the time of settlement, the payment will be made at five times the market price. As a token of my appreciation, I personally warn you not to think that you will be able to safely take all the slaves away after trading with the Grand Commander of Ballam. The city is home to five archarchsmen, of whom Kurzer is our nemesis. If he finds out that you are trading here, he will definitely send someone to wreak havoc at sea. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, if he dares to come in person, I am afraid that the Great Commander of Balam will lose his good opponent in the future." Henry replied. Baram laughed and said, "It's a good joke, but I'm looking forward to it." Tomorrow I'll have my mage advisor take the slaves to the docks to trade, and you can exchange arcane sigils with each other. If you have any other needs in the future, you can always contact me. Henry made a mage salute and said, "Since the agreement has been made, I will take my leave today and see you at the docks tomorrow morning." Balaam called a thief to lead the way. After Henry disappeared into the sewers, Baram asked his advisor, "How is Orson?" How strong is this mage?" The mage named Orson took off his hood and said, "Very strong, at least stronger than me." The fact that he could easily pull out a level 5 spell scroll meant that he was at least a level 9 mage, and a level 6 magic spell meant that there was an eleventh level druid or priest standing behind him. In any way, we can't take advantage of it. Balam smiled and said, "Then we can establish a long-term relationship with him, and if Kurzer dares to break the deal this time, he will definitely be beaten with all his money." I've been wanting to take out that guy more and more lately. The assistant looked at the scroll carefully and said, "He will definitely do it, maybe he can use this time to remove his power from the dock area." ”

Henry followed the masked thief out of the sewers, and after saying goodbye to each other, the thieves quickly followed the same path as they came. Now he walked alone on the noisy docks at night, and after walking along the path for a while, he finally saw the Sword. Hawk stood on the deck quietly waiting for his boss to return, others may not know the strength of the Grand Commander of the Dao, but he understood. The city was divided into five parts, ruled by five lords: Tyrel, Ballam, Kurze, Sujak, and Ressenor, all of whom were descendants of pirates. That is, each of them has one-fifth of the power to be in the city, and Hawke is worried that his boss will be hacked. While he was worried, Henry returned to the ship, and he said to the captain, "My captain, you haven't rested so late?" When the old man saw him return, he stood up and asked, "How is the deal?" He smiled and said, "Yes, tomorrow Baram's mage advisor will personally lead a team to bring eight thousand slaves." But can our ship still hold so many people? Hawke smiled and said, "It's okay, our ship is big enough and has less than a month's range, so it's no problem to squeeze in." Henry took a deep breath and said, "I'm relieved to hear your reply, it's getting late, let's get some rest early." With that, he turned and went back to his room to sleep.

The noisy night passed quickly, and the sun rose again in the early morning. Henry got up early, and he knew that he had an important deal today. After washing, he went to the deck and waited quietly, the orc warrior following him. An hour later, Master Orson arrived at the docks with a long line of slaves and troops. The sheer number of slaves aroused the idea of spies from all sides, who hid in the corners and watched carefully. When Orson saw Henry standing on the deck and the guards behind him, he smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Henry, your guards are really powerful. I brought the goods, all slaves who passed through, half of the men and women, only five hundred children, and no old people. Do you need to have their teeth checked? Henry glanced at the slaves and found that they were in good condition, though hungry and a little emaciated, but on the whole they were free of disease and healthy. He said to the mage, "Don't just send it to the ship, please count the quantity, please count it, and I will start paying after that." Orson commanded the men behind him, and the army began to drive the slaves onto the ship. Captain Hawke was in charge of directing the sailors to wash them clean.

The sheer number of slaves caused the work to be slow and not finished until the afternoon. Henry had already invited the mage to the captain's room for a brief lunch, and was sitting together chatting, when the captain walked in and said to Henry, "The boss has asked for three thousand five hundred women, four thousand men, and five hundred children." Now that all of them have been showered and loaded, they are ready to leave at any time as long as they are simply refilled. Henry thought to himself that he had finally gathered enough labor for the territory, and that with these slaves his city would not be long in his city. He took out the dimensional bag and took out the boxes of potions that had been packed in advance, and a stack of scrolls, about one hundred and fifty of them, and put them on the table, and then opened them and said, "Thank you for me, Grand Commander Balaam, without his help, I would not have been able to buy so many slaves at once." This is the magic scroll and potion I promised, please check it out and estimate it. Orson looked through each scroll carefully, then opened the chest and checked the potion. After more than an hour, he finished asking Henry and said, "The first, second, and third level spells and magic scrolls are at market price, and the scrolls from level four to level six are fivefold. Together with this box of magic potions, it is worth a total of 350,000 gold coins. After deducting these, you pay another 170,000 gold coins, and we will pay it off. ”

Henry then paid 170,000 gold coins, and after the two exchanged arcane sigils, Orson was escorted out of the docks by the army with the gold coins, potions, and scrolls. When Henry saw that the transaction was completed, he said to the captain, "Resupply at once, and we will set off tonight." Otherwise, we won't be able to leave. Hawke nodded in agreement and then stood up and began to go to the docks' market to buy supplies, while Henry stood on deck with Vaughn, the orc, just in case. In the evening, the captain returned to the ship with a large amount of food, water, and wine, and after putting away the supplies, he directed the four ships to leave the harbor.

After taking the slave ship that had been floating outside the harbor at sea, the five ships formed a fleet and slowly sailed towards the open sea. Henry knew that he could be attacked by pirates at any time within two days, and that this time the Grand Commander of Kurzer himself would not be a rabble like the pirates had when he came. I wonder if there will be a fierce battle at sea. He instructed all sailors in the fleet to be battle-ready, to carry weapons with them, and to ensure that the watchtowers were manned at all times. And get Amy ready to cast spells and scrolls, and let her strike alone if necessary. Soon the ship sailed away from the Luskan Sea and took advantage of the moonlight to move towards the deep sea. No one slept, nervously awaiting the pirate attack. Behind them, the pirates, consisting of three large ships, had already begun to depart port, with mages monitoring the movements and following behind their prey, ready to strike a fatal blow.
