Seeing the large number of malicious eyes around him, Su Li knew that this time it was completely finished. I believe that as long as these three words are not compensated, these damn gamblers will definitely rush up and tear him to pieces, I am afraid that even the house will be ransacked, and the daughter and wife will most likely be sold to the underground courtyard.

It's a lawless slum that even patrolling soldiers subconsciously avoid. You must know that there is a hidden private harbor on the east side of the Bronze Crown Hotel, where slave ships would dock every once in a while, but they have not been caught once in all these years. It can be said that the residents here have colluded with the criminals, and many people have even joined the ranks directly.

Su Li couldn't imagine what would happen to his family if he fell into their hands, so he was ready to sell himself as a slave, and only hoped that the other party would spare his family. As Henry got closer and closer, the people around him shouted without knowing who shouted: "Lose money!" ”

Immediately after that, the whole scene was detonated with a bang. Hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Lose money!" Money! Money! The voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of countless people on the first floor, and even the innkeeper Retinand was alarmed. Now everyone is waiting for the victors to speak, so that they can justify the atrocities.

The corners of Viconia's mouth, hidden under the hood, turned up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. She crept up to Henry and whispered, "Oh, shit. The atmosphere here reminds me of the city of Morsoblay. The evil and cold-bloodedness of these human beings made me almost cry when I was moved. Also, what are you going to do with this unlucky bastard? Kill or be a slave? ”

"Neither. Don't you think this guy's business ability is quite good? I just didn't need someone to help take care of the business. "Henry is not the kind of person who is evil for evil's sake. His purpose is always clear. That is to gain more power or benefit. There are still a large number of shops and cargo ships that are idle. It would be a waste to kill the people who were sent to the door.

After all, there are basically two people who can run a casino. Otherwise, there would be no bones left that would have been eaten in various basements long ago. What's more, the Ronore family also has a lot of shady industries, such as casinos, and the trade of slaves and military supplies with Karinsan, which cannot be played without a capable person in charge.

"Are you sure this guy won't betray? You must know that his current virtue is all your fault. Also, in general, losers like this in the Dark Elf City are only worthy of feeding spiders. Viconia made no secret of her disdain for the weak. In her opinion, people who are unable to work such as beggars have no value of survival at all, and they should all be killed to save food.

Henry disagrees with this view. In his opinion, everyone, even if they are disabled, has a certain use value. Especially in this world where the population is scarce, as long as they are placed in the right place, they will play their due role. It's just that most rulers don't realize this. That's why this kind of labor waste is created.

You must know that the area marked on the map of the Feren continent alone is about the size of Russia on the earth, and this does not include the various islands in the sea and the frozen soil in the far north. There are less than 50 million intelligent beings living in such a large land, which is the sum of all other races, such as orcs and halflings.

If Corey's military campaign had gone well, Henry's duchy would have annexed all the terra nullius near Baldur's Gate, and with the Angome Islands overseas, he would already rule over an area almost as large as the three eastern provinces. However, the population of such a large land is only about 2.5 million, and even Am, which is said to have a large population, is only about 3 million.

In Henry's view, this is not enough for people to even plug their teeth, and it will take at least a population of about 7 million to meet the development plans he has made. Therefore, there are absolutely no beggars to be seen near the Baldur's Gate, because they are all arranged to do what they can in some places. Even so, there is still a very large shortage of labor, and even troops will often be sent around the forest to capture goblins, goblins, kobolds and other monsters as supplements.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sawa Fishman has been making trouble along the coast for a while. He even wanted to go overseas to buy some slaves. After all, there are many other lands and civilizations around the continent of Faeron, such as the Aztec continent in the west. It's a jungle empire similar to the Mayan civilization, with countless tribes and small nations, and Amm has a large colony here. In the south, there is also the continent of Zahara, which resembles an Arab civilization. And, of course, the Karatu of the East.

Just when Henry was thinking about things a little preoccupied, Su Li, who was pale, couldn't bear the huge pressure, finally knelt down, and piled all the coins and items on his body on the ground. His lips trembled and pleaded, "Dear adventurer, everything of value on me is here. If you don't think that's enough, I'm willing to be your subordinate, servant, or even slave, just beg you to spare my family. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd shouted: "Don't be deceived by this bastard, he also has a beautiful wife and daughter, even if he doesn't sell it, he can keep it for himself." ”

"That's right! This guy has done a lot of bad things in the past, and today he finally got his retribution. ”

"Hahahaha! Sell his wife and daughter to Mrs. Ning (the old bustard in the underground courtyard of the Copper Crown Hotel) so that we can all go and have fun. ”

Hearing the sound of these falling stones, Su Li trembled with anger, and even his breathing became short. He is now beginning to experience the feeling of being chased by his own gambling debtors, and this kind of torment and remorse makes people feel that life is worse than death. Especially since the young daughter is only thirteen years old, I am afraid that she will be tortured to death in less than a week after being sold.

Henry felt that the time was almost up, otherwise this guy would have been driven crazy in a few moments. He stepped forward and took out the noble badge and pressed it on the other party's forehead, and a black family crest was printed on it. This means that Su Li no longer has personal freedom from this moment on, and whether he will become a slave or not is all in the mind of the master.

"I can spare your family. But there is a premise, you have to show enough value. ”

"Of course! Of course! I can do anything for you, even if it's murder, without frowning. Su Li knew that this was the last straw that could save his life, and immediately lay on the ground and kissed the boots of his new master.

Henry nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, I still have some things to do, so you report to this address first." As he spoke, he wrote the address of the Elatan Mansion in the palm of his hand using a magic trick.

"Understood! I'll go now. Su Li took a look at it, and immediately got up and ran towards the door. He knew that he had no room for resistance, because the mark on his forehead had a faint hint of magical power, and if he ran away, he would definitely be caught.

The crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed when they saw that the main owner had left. They didn't have the courage to come forward and provoke, the bodies of the three Amaras brothers were still lying on the ground. The boss, Retinan, called two thugs to carry the body to the back room, apparently either to be thrown down the drain or to feed the caged beast.

After packing up the money on the ground, Henry went to the table and did it. He first looked at the old dwarf across from him, and then asked with a smile, "Kogan, how old are you this year?" ”

"How old are you? I don't remember exactly, three hundred? Or three hundred and fifty. Why are you asking this when you're idle? Kogan replied with a sip of wine.

"It's important, it's about cooperation between you and me. Let me ask another question, do you want to make your body young again and prolong your life? ”

"Hahahaha! Needless to ask, every intelligent life desires to keep itself young and preferably never die. But this is impossible, so I decided to live and enjoy one day, even if I die. ”

Hearing Kogan's words, a subtle smile crossed the corners of Henry's mouth. He pulled out a small vial of pale green liquid from the dimensional pouch, and even through the glass bottle, he could feel the vigorous vitality. It is an elixir made from the blood of Apodel's divinity combined with the "wishing technique", which can not only restore the vitality of the body, but also extend the life span of thirty to fifty years.

"I'm sure you've felt it too, it's a special life-prolonging potion. I'm not a big fan of beating around the bush, so as long as you agree to pledge your allegiance to me, then this one is yours. And as long as I'm alive, then you can get a bottle every few decades. This is basically equivalent to immortality. ”

It has to be said that the contents of this small bottle have a fatal attraction for an old dwarf who is about to enter the coffin. Just look at Kogan's eyes now, staring straight ahead, one hand subconsciously grabbed the axe. If it weren't for the fear of being more careful than breaking it, he might have rushed up and snatched it a long time ago.

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Henry put a ring collar on the table. "Just take this with you, and the potion will be yours in no time. Don't worry, it's just an insurance policy in case of a sudden betrayal. ”

"Damn! You actually want to use evil spells to control me! "Kogan is not one of those rookies who doesn't know anything, and he can see through the purpose of the collar at a glance.

"Calm down, as long as you don't disobey orders, this thing is basically nothing. I want to get a warrior with a martial arts climax, not a silly puppet. ”

Henry also knew that it was a bit of a strong man to make a chaotic and evil dwarf obedient, but this insurance was mandatory. There was only one spot left in the system now, and he didn't want to waste it on a fighter. After all, according to the plan, this place is reserved for the sealed Congers. Only by completely controlling this powerful half-lich can he be sure that he will let the other lichs work for him. Although the Roll Golem is also powerful, it is still far worse than a real lich.
