The lunch lasted for two hours, and after several people tested each other's wishes to understand each other's wishes, and then made a verbal agreement on initial cooperation, everyone finally broke up happily. Oh no, and not everyone is rewarded either. For example, Fellowes, the vice president of the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce, has always had a cold attitude at the table, which makes Allen puzzled.

In Fellowes' eyes, he even felt a subtle hostility.

After the dinner, Roger invited Alan to visit his paradise. Although Alan had already been to the park once, but the last time he went directly to the door, it was not a formal visit, so he nodded in agreement.

Sean went back to Fragrant Grass Street first, and the fat man still had some things to deal with at hand, so he couldn't accompany Allen.

Outside the restaurant, Roger's carriage was already waiting early. The slave trader's carriage was unpretentious, but there was a lot of space inside and an emphasis on practicality. The horses used to pull the carts were darker than the local horses, and the color of the fur at the hooves gradually changed from black to gray. On the horses' chests, there is also a pattern of gray-white hair forming a "V" shape, giving them a very strong look.

"This is the Ishtar Warhorse, an alien people on the northern border of the Empire. They have a strong folk style and are the best at raising horses. The price of each war horse is very expensive, and the bloodlines of my two war horses are not pure enough, but it also costs me a lot of money. Roger said casually, but from his words, it was not difficult to hear a trace of pride.

Alan nodded, "They are indeed very different from the warhorses I have seen. ”

And he said, "Mr. Fellowes, it seems that he did not have a pleasant lunch. ”

"If it were me, it wouldn't be very pleasant." Roger smiled: "The boss behind the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce is actually the Black Iron Castle, which is located on the other side of the Blood Rock Wasteland, and responds to Storm City from afar. The owner of the Black Iron Castle, Sir Sharon, has a very questionable origin, and it is said that he was a horse thief before he was knighted. After that, he used some means to get the daughter of the previous city lord of Black Iron Castle, and only then did she have her current identity. ”

"The Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with Storm City a lot in the past, especially in terms of equipment raw materials, and Storm City has always sold them at a relatively low price. Now that Storm City has changed hands, you, the manager, intend to process the raw materials further and come directly into the form of equipment. In this way, the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce is not profitable on your side, and Fellowes's face will certainly not be much better. ”

"It turns out that there is still this layer of relationship." Alan paused and said with a smile: "Mr. Roger expected Fellowes' reaction, but he invited him to lunch together, it seems that he has ulterior motives?" ”

"Let's put it this way, the Lily Chamber of Commerce, plus Rhys and I, are equivalent to the small and half-merchants of Violet Harbor who are willing to cooperate with you. This is the general trend, and I would have hoped that Fellowes would see it clearly and finally let the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce make the right choice. But to be honest, I was disappointed by his watch today. Roger shrugged his shoulders and said, "As a businessman, he should understand that people like us will not have eternal interests, and naturally they will not have eternal friends." But that Fellowes was very concerned about the change of the master of Storm City. ”

This confirms a long rumor that Sir Sirloin had married one of his daughters to Maude in order to strengthen their relationship. And recently, I heard that you uprooted Maude's family, and I think the attitude of Sir Sirloin in the back finally affected the decision of the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce, right? ”

Alan narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Roger, it seems that I have to guard against the revenge of that Lord Sir of the Black Iron Castle." ”

Roger's meaning is already very obvious when he says this. His real intention in inviting Fellowes was to see Sir Sharon's attitude. Now Alan also knew where Fellowes's subtle hostility came from.

In the blink of an eye, Roger took Alan on a tour of several slave sheds. Most of the people you see in Paradise are war slaves, and the composition of war slaves is very complicated. Some of them are some sparsely numbered foreign peoples living on the borders of the Empire, such as the Baimon people in the Asr Mountains, and from Roger's words, there are quite a few such foreign peoples, and several of them are hidden dangers on the borders of the Empire.

In addition to the foreigners, there was no shortage of captives, criminals, and even down-and-out nobles among the war slaves. Paradise was responsible for training the war slaves, polishing their edges and corners, making them obedient like dogs, and then selling them to the nobles everywhere. Skilled war slaves will be good personal guards, and of course, for these high-level slaves, Paradise will be equipped with a unique set of control methods. It could be a drug, or something else.

As for the ordinary goods, they will become cannon fodder in the Jazz's army. Of course, a knight who can afford to use war slave cannon fodder, his wealth and title will not be low.

In addition to the war slaves, there were only a small number of female slaves in the paradise. Slave girls have only one job, and that is to please their masters. And here, the first thing they want to please is the mentor. In a separate annex building, Alan didn't see many slave girls. They range in age from sixteen or seventeen to their twenties, and without exception, they are handsome and in the prime of their lives.

At the request of their mentors, they perform all kinds of seductive movements. Even in front of Roger and Allen and others, he practiced kung fu in bed with his mentor. In the eyes of these slave girls, Eren could not see any light, they were like beautiful dolls that had been hollowed out. It's just instinct to live, and they do everything that their mentor asks them to do, just because it makes their lives better.

"These slave girls are just ordinary goods, like some of the best women, and we will even train them in martial arts and intelligence skills. Often such a woman will make an excellent spy. It's just that we can't come across a high-end product like this one a year. ”

Coming to the study, Roger spread his hands and said, "How is it, Mr. Allen." Do you have a fancy for the right slave? If you like, I can send you two slave girls who have finished their training. They're not as good as the Naga Fishmen, but I'm sure you'll have a lot of more. ”

Alan shook his head and smiled, "Now I'm just afraid that I don't have time to waste on women." ”

Roger laughed and applauded, "I feel more relieved to hear you say that." ”

"I don't need slave girls, and I would be very happy if Mr. Roger could sell me a batch of war slaves at a low price."

"There's no problem with that, what kind of goods do you need. Cannon fodder? Or a guard? ”

"I've got more than enough guards." Alan Dao.

"Then I know what you need, you wait." Roger flicked his fingers at the silver bell on the table, and a moment later, a man who looked like a butler walked in. Roger said to him, "Go and prepare a hundred cannon fodder, and tell them, and their master will be Mr. Allen in the future." ”

After the butler left, Rosen took out a pipe, lit it and bit it to his mouth: "Then Mr. Allen, let's talk about business." Obviously, you and Violet Harbor will have more intensive business dealings in the future. I don't think the Bloodrock Wasteland will be as calm as it used to be, and in that case, the safety of the caravan will be an issue. What are your thoughts on this? ”

Alan said, "Even if there is no trade between us, bandits like Dick need to be eliminated. I'm not Maud, and in the vicinity of my territory, I don't want to see any potential threats. ”

"In that case, I have a few pieces of information to offer for Daddy Dick."

Staying in the park until the evening, Roger drove Alan back in a horse-drawn carriage. The next morning, a group of war slaves was sent to Oriole Street. There were 100 slaves in total, one team of 10 for each team, and one captain for each team. Both slaves and captains have the symbol of Paradise on the back of their heads. When you see this sign, you will know that they are slaves of Paradise.

Once the slaves dare to escape, when they are found, life will be worse than death. Very few war slaves survived the escape, and the pursuit of their masters and slave traders would make them panic for the rest of their lives. This is an iron law, and in order to protect their own interests, slave traders, large and small, always do their best to maintain this iron law.

After handing over the war slaves to Alan, Roger's slave tamer said goodbye, "My lord, if you want your slaves to be more obedient and brave on the battlefield, you might as well give them some substantial encouragement." ”

After gathering all the war slaves, Alan said to them, "I don't want to boast that I am different from other masters, I just want to tell you that I will do what I say!" Whoever betrays me, I will punish him with the severest punishment, and this severity will be beyond your imagination; And to those who are faithful to me, I will keep him away from hunger and cold. If he can add a little more courage to this loyalty, then I can even give him freedom! ”

"Yes, you too can be warriors! You are free to decide whether you want to stay or not, provided that you make an equal contribution to it! ”

In the end, Allen put a clear price tag on this contribution in exchange for freedom. If a war slave serves him for three years without dying, or if he kills enough enemies, he can be freed. After that, if you are willing to stay, you can wait for the treatment of a soldier of the same level. If he wanted to leave, Alan wouldn't force him to stay.

These words made the eyes of the hundred slaves gradually add something else.

After a day's rest, the next day, Alan left a group of war slaves to strengthen the defenses of Herb Street. The others left with him, and a few days later, he returned to Storm City with the war slaves and asked Reg to incorporate them into the army. On the afternoon of arriving in Storm City, Alan asked Roy and others to talk secretly, and in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Alan looked in the direction of the Blood Rock Wasteland and said, "It's time to clear the last guy." ”

Behind him, Roy, Regs and the others all rubbed their fists. R1058
