Chapter 866: Slave
"Steven, are you leaving?"
As the only friend Bai Chen made in Moro City, Bai Chen still came to say hello to Hailian before leaving.
"Yes, I bought a nobleman, and I bought a piece of land, and I plan to go and see my collection, which is in the North Gaman Mountains, if you have time, you can go to my territory. ”
"I'm afraid my grandfather couldn't have let me go that far. Hailian said expectantly and helplessly.
"Don't worry, if you tell him that he is going to play on my territory, he will agree. ”
"It's absolutely impossible, didn't you see the face of him losing his temper at you last time. Hailian immediately vetoed.
Bai Chen smiled: "Then wait for the day you become the head of the family, I think he won't be able to stop you then, you can go wherever you want." ”
"Yes, I'm going to be the head of the house, and then that old guy won't be able to control me. ”
Bai Chen rolled his eyes, obviously, Hailian had a deep grudge against his grandfather.
As for Mo Li and the others, Bai Chen didn't say hello to them.
This time, he left with Merry and Tim.
Kane, Muna, and Peel and Lot, who were responsible for transporting supplies, mostly metal, to the North Gaman Mountains.
This time, Bai Chen arranged the task for Tim, and Tim completed it very well.
Not only did they buy large quantities of metal, but they also bought two mines near the North Gaman Mountains.
Of course, for now, the amount of these metals is not enough for Bai Chen's needs.
The Northern Gaman Mountains are located in the extreme north of the Ansar Kingdom, and there are also large areas of it that are disputed territories.
Although it is not deserted, the population is also very sparse, and it is estimated that there are less than 100,000 people in a territory of hundreds of miles.
Moreover, resources are extremely scarce, not suitable for agriculture and there is no business route for business, and because of the proximity to the border, bandits from neighboring countries often flee.
Even the two mines that Tim bought were close to the North Gaman Mountains, not within the North Gaman Mountains.
It can be said that the Northern Gaman Mountains are a wasteland, of course, for most people, but it is not entirely true, in front of the great mountain range is a vast plain, and on the edge of the plain is a swamp.
"Young master, from now on, this is your territory, and under your rule, the territory will definitely prosper......"
"Hey...... Tim, this kind of high-sounding words, don't say it in front of me, I don't plan to develop any territory, I plan to build a home, and then drive out all the outsiders who dare to break into the territory, that's all. ”
"Uh......" Tim looked at Bai Chen in amazement: "Then what are you buying so much metal for?"
Bai Chen rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm so boring?"
Bai Chen sat in the carriage and spread out the map: "According to the coordinates given to me by Jessica, the ruins are here, this ruins are surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is only one way to enter the ruins, so I will build a castle at this entrance." ”
"Young Master, how big of a castle are you going to build?"
"Be conspicuous. Bai Chen said indifferently.
"To build a castle in this kind of wilderness, it needs to be conspicuous enough, there are a lot of people, there is only a small town of less than a thousand people nearby, I'm afraid that the whole town will recruit people, it's not enough......"
"Manpower...... It doesn't take much, I'll build this castle myself. Bai Chen said indifferently.
Tim's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the young master has a ready-made castle in his hand, sealed in the magic scroll?"
"Nope. ”
"Then you're alone...... Even with Mei Li, we have less than ten people, and I'm afraid we won't be able to build it in a hundred years. ”
"For you, it's a problem, and for me, it's never been a problem. ”
"Forehead ......"
Tim knew that Bai Chen had always been able to do anything unexpected, but he didn't think that it was okay to build a house, after all, it really needed enough manpower, and without enough manpower, it would never be able to build it.
You know, it's not about building two or three thatched huts, it's about building a castle.
And according to the temperament of his young master, this castle is mostly very grandiose.
"But in my plan, I need a lot of magic crystals, a very large number of magic crystals. ”
"Young Master, why didn't you say it earlier, what level do you need, and what is the specific quantity? ”
"Don't worry about it, I've already arranged for Kane, who has already acquired a batch of magic crystals in the auction house. ”
Tim nodded slightly, Kane is now in the auction house in Moro City, but he is a big celebrity, and it is much more convenient to have him contact the auction house than to buy it from a small trader.
The carriage was slowly moving along the plains of Roseanta, and at this time, a procession approached in the distance.
Several large men on horseback, wielding long whips in their hands, and behind them were a group of people of all kinds with chains bound to their hands and feet.
"Hurry up, walk quickly...... You cheap slaves, don't waste your uncle's time. ”
Bai Chen knew that these were slave traders, who specialized in attacking and hunting those weak races, such as handsome elves, or rough and wild orcs, who were the targets of their enslavement.
For them, as long as it is profitable, law and morality are never on their minds.
It looked like the slave army had just experienced a bumper harvest, and their prey consisted of a dozen bruised minotaurs, more than twenty goblins, more than twenty dwarves, and more than a hundred half-elves.
Due to their blood relationship, the half-elves are not tolerant of humans and elves, so they form small tribes independently, hiding in the barren mountains and mountains where people are rarely visited.
However, they did not have enough strength to protect themselves, and if they were discovered by these slave traders, it would be a disaster for them.
Humans claim to be higher beings, always proclaiming their kindness and love, but turning a blind eye to their sins in the light.
These enslaved races seem to have lost the strength to resist, they just instinctively drag their broken bodies, and move forward towards the unknown tomorrow with difficulty.
Every country, every power is against hunting foreigners.
However, driven by profits, transactions that should have been eliminated have not only not been eliminated, but have become more and more prevalent under the neglect and permissiveness of vested interests.
There are even countries that openly condemn slave traders, but behind the scenes, they form their own slave hunting teams.
"Parking. Bai Chen said indifferently.
"Young Master. Tim looked back at Bai Chen.
"Go and buy these slaves from the slave traders. ”
"Young Master, do you need these manpower?"
"When the slave traders are gone, let them go and let them go back to their people. ”
Tim thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I'll go now." ”
......
"You're going to buy all the slaves?" said Anselote, looking at Tim condescendingly.
As the leader of the slave team, he is a seventh-level ** master, and of course he will not be polite to a noble butler.
However, there was never a halfway point when someone asked to buy a slave.
Anselote glanced at the ornate carriage parked on the side of the road.
"I don't know who your master is, why don't you come out and see him?" Anselo was a little unsure of the other party's identity.
First of all, the prey captured by the slave team this time was quite large, more than a hundred slaves.
Among them, the most precious are the minotaurs and dwarves, the minotaurs belong to a kind of orc branch, the nature of advocating nature, the character is honest, although it is very troublesome to capture, but once tamed, it will be obedient to the master, can be said to be the best guard.
Dwarves are the best craftsmen, and they revere strength because it gives them greater craftsmanship.
As for the goblins, it's a little shabby, and the price of the half-elf is slightly higher, but after all, it's a mongrel, so it's far from a pure-blooded elf.
Of course, the price of these slaves was often determined according to the status of the buyer.
If the other party is a high-powered nobleman, Ancellott will naturally lower the price as much as possible and make friends with him.
And if the other party is a businessman, then there is nothing polite to be polite, you can sell as much as you can, it will only be expensive and not cheap.
"You don't care so much about what you do, how much are these slaves, set a price. Tim said impatiently.
"This ...... This steward, you also know that the slave market has been in short supply lately, and I have sent it to Moro City this time, but I am going to sell it for a large price......"
"Offer. Tim was too lazy to talk nonsense with Anselote.
"Hurry, a million gold coins, take all these slaves away. Although Anselote's tone was frank, his eyes flickered.
As soon as Tim raises the slightest objection, he will immediately lower the price.
After all, this batch of slaves, no matter how valuable they are, no matter how expensive they are, they will definitely not exceed 400,000 gold coins.
And he more than doubled the price, in order to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Of course, if you can get it.
However, Tim casually took out a gold ticket of one million gold coins from his arms.
Anselote's eyes straightened when he saw the thick stack of golden tickets in Tim's hand.
"Now, let your men loosen the chains of these slaves. ”
"Wait......" There's a hint of obscurity in Ancelot's eyes, "I'm not done yet." ”
Tim turned to look at Ancelot, "What else do you want to say?"
"I forgot to say that it was a slave for a million gold coins. A fierce smile appeared on Anselote's face.
Tim is used to spending money lavishly in Moro City, and in Moro City, the Generalissimo and the Prime Minister have given death orders to various nobles, and whoever dares to provoke Bai Chen and the people around Bai Chen will directly raid the house.
So no matter how much money Tim usually puts on him, no one dares to worry about it.
For a while, he forgot the truth that wealth is not exposed, but he never thought that Anselote was a slave trader and greedy.
Seeing that Tim has so many golden tickets in his hands, it's no wonder that he is not impressed.
The main reason is that he sees that Tim is weak.
As long as it is done cleanly, no one knows who the owner of the carriage is.
Tim was so shrewd that when he saw Anselote's eyes, he knew what the other party was thinking.
However, Tim was not afraid, just looked at Anselo with a cold gaze: "Dog, there are some things that you can't worry about! (To be continued.) )
