Lord of War

It was late at night when the convoy arrived at the Seddings Oasis.

But here, there is no trace of the tranquility of the night.

There are bright flames flickering in large and large buildings, and the noise seems to have never stopped, and there are teams of convoys walking or entering on the street, and occasionally one or two Rush can be seen, But the scale is not large, that is, a few people from each side will fight heads-up, the loser will not only keep the bet, but also the lives of the participants, while the winner can take away the spoils and honor.

This is a paradise where you become famous overnight, get rich overnight, and all kinds of situations that can only appear in dreams are staged here one by one.

This is hell, ruined and ruined, dead without a whole body, all kinds of plots that were once only novels are staged here one by one.

The saddest thing is not to step into heaven or hell, but to go to heaven with your left foot and hell with your right foot—the spoils you have fought for with your life, and then you are killed by others secretly because of serious injuries. Lamentable.

The formation of the convoy began to shrink.

Sean has already said in advance that he must not cause trouble here, because maybe a decadent guy who looks like a gangster is actually a gold medalist of a big business association, or even the future of a big business association. heir. In a place like the trading capital, even if the Black Cat Business Association is a relatively powerful local business association, but when Ron comes to a place like the trading capital, he can only keep his tail and keep a low profile.

There was a sentence in the forum back then, which was specifically used to describe the situation in the trading capital.

There is as much gold as dogs, and the sanctuary is everywhere.

silver? Sorry, this kind of strength is really not enough in the capital of trade. As for the heirs of business associations, families, etc., unless they have absolute regional influence, or the real old aristocratic families of the Seven Great Empires, they may be very prestigious in the country, but when they come to trade In this kind of place, it is not even as good as a commander or mercenary leader who has always been looked down upon by them but has real power.

So here, it is a very normal thing to be a low-key person with your tail clamped.

Seeing Xiao En's convoy enter, but the number of guards is so small, many interested people have already set their eyes on this convoy. If it weren't for the inherent rules of the trading capital that restrained these people from doing anything within the scope of the oasis city, these ferocious gods like hungry wolves would have rushed forward long ago.

Only those with a little vision will restrict their team actions, because in the veterans, they feel only a sense of fearlessness. Just nineteen guards can exude this kind of aura. If it is said that this team has no strength or background, no one present will believe it. Therefore, it is the best way to temporarily wait and see and let those who have no vision to explore the way first.

But when the convoy actually stopped in front of a dusty building, the people watching showed excitement and watching the show.

Anyone who has lived in the Sidings Oasis for a day will know that this seemingly inconspicuous dilapidated three-story building is actually the real core of the entire Sidings Oasis—one of the top ten business associations, Headquarters of the Seddings Business Association. On the surface, this house used as the headquarters of the business association is no different from ordinary residential houses, and it is not even imposing, but in fact, the underground area with a radius of thousands of kilometers has actually been dug up by the Seddings Business Association. Empty, then reinforced and stabilized with special magical building materials,

Make sure the ground doesn't collapse.

This is also the reason why other buildings around are built as high as possible, or simply surrounded by a large area. After all, if you are in the slave trading business, the place you use to display slaves is too small, so naturally there will be fewer slaves to display, and buyers will not have many types to choose from, so they must have no desire to buy. , so this slave business, of course, the larger the area, the better.

The Seddings Business Association, as one of the top ten business associations, is also the earliest established business association to capture and sell slaves. Of course, not everyone can go in and buy slaves, at least there must be more than 20,000 Only Pangea gold coins are eligible to enter. And 20,000 Pangea gold coins are actually not too much for some big nobles, because even if it is a one-to-two ratio, it is only 40,000, but you must know that this is just the qualification for entry.

As for those covetous people around, which one has so much money, they naturally feel that it is impossible for Xiao En to spend so much money. After all, it's not like they haven't seen people who can enter the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, but they have never had such a shabby one. Although this team is already up to the level of the fat sheep, it is relatively thin among the fat sheep Type up.

Most of the people around them regarded this convoy as countrymen who had never seen the world.

An old man sitting in front of the dilapidated house raised his head and glanced at the convoy parked in front of the door. The difference between him and his old appearance was that his eyes were extremely bright and energetic. Exhibited an astonishing aura. His imposing manner was like a knife and a gun, but he pointed directly at the first carriage, but the veterans around him didn't feel the old man's aura at all.

There is no doubt that the old man in front of him is definitely a genuine Gold Rank powerhouse.

Sean opened the car door. Although the aura exuded by the old man had been restrained on purpose, and what he was presenting was only a threatening warning, it was actually more powerful than what Alfred exuded in the Wine and Knife Tavern back then. Intense and terrifying.

To be honest, even Sean couldn't bear this kind of momentum. But he also knew that to enter the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, he would definitely have to pass this test, so he just took a deep breath, and then walked towards the old man. The old man's expression was not the same for Sean's attitude. Nothing has changed. From the moment he became a goalkeeper for others, he has long since abandoned the dignity of a gold-level powerhouse.

Standing in front of the old man, Xiao En stretched out his hand and took out twenty gold exchange rolls, no more, no less, exactly twenty. When he set off from Seroda Village, he also had twenty gold exchange rolls, but at that time he used up one and spent a lot of money to buy a lot of things, and then he set off along the way to do business as a merchant. Afterwards, those who came to rob him and were robbed instead donated a lot of money to him. This is to make do with it, and sell some special products by the way. Sean finally arrived at the trading capital. Collected twenty gold exchange rolls with a denomination of one thousand gold.

The moment he saw the gold roll, the old man lost his aura, and then returned to that kind of lonely old man who had nothing to do with him.

After Sean whispered something to tell Alfred and the veterans to wait outside, he walked in alone. Cecilia and Hina are still in the carriage, the main reason is that Cecilia has not woken up yet, and Sean is not causing unnecessary troubles because of the appearance of these two little guys , if the low-level silver makes a move, he can still handle it. If it is a high-level silver or even a gold-level powerhouse, then he really has no way to stop it.

The purpose of keeping the veteran and Alfred is naturally to show a sense of mystery and strength. If he brought everyone in, the carriages and wagons would all be taken away in less than a minute. Of course, this idea is actually groundless random speculation. In fact, when Sean stepped into the small house at the headquarters of the Sedins Chamber of Commerce, those who originally wanted to make an idea of ​​Sean immediately withdrew, even if Sean Leave all these carriages here and leave them alone, and absolutely no one will dare to pull them.

This is the deterrent force of a sufficiently strong business association.

Walking into this house, an extremely strong smell of blood flooded into Sean's nostrils in an instant. The layout obviously looked very normal, but the smell of blood that made people feel flustered and nauseous was everywhere. Although Sean was already mentally prepared when he stepped here, he still didn't expect that the gap between here and the original game would be so unbelievably large.

For a moment, Sean seemed to hear countless people howling.

Frowning, Sean took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down his inner emotions and fear a little. At the door on the left, a burly middle-aged man came out with a leather whip. Under his right armpit was a young woman who was almost completely naked. There were countless bright red whip marks on her body. On the surface, these welts did not bruise her skin, but the blood dripped out from under her skin, almost turning her into a bloody person. As the middle-aged man walked towards the second floor, the woman dripped The falling blood even drew a path of palpitations on the ground.

A man cursed and followed the burly man out. When he saw Xiao En, his eyes immediately brightened and he greeted him: "This gentleman, I made you laugh. It's just a slave who wants to escape. Let me teach you a lesson. for a moment."

The voice was very weak, and the smile on his face didn't seem fake, typically he didn't treat slaves as human beings. However, this kind of thing was gradually accepted by the players in the game world, and even bought a large number of slaves to serve as cannon fodder. Made the real world.

Sean's mood may be a bit complicated, but he has neither the position nor the strength to say these words right now, and naturally he can't talk about saving the suffering, or determined to liberate all these slaves and abolish slavery. At this time when slaves can be used as almost any livestock, abolishing slavery is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire continent. In the game, a group of players with an excessive sense of justice did this. As a result, basically all the camps and forces in the entire continent are all mortal enemies and blood feuds, and in the end they can only delete their accounts and start over.

Seeing the respectful expression on the man's face, Sean finally said: "I need slaves, regardless of race, but they should be taller, with sound limbs, able to walk, run, and fight. If you really don’t have any, slaves from the same tribe are fine, but I don’t want slaves from tribes with blood feuds.… The normal selling price of this kind of slaves is based on the calculation of a strong adult man, but because of the burden of family members , so I will give a discount accordingly, I don’t know how you plan to sell it?”

The man's heart trembled, and he made his first preliminary impression and judgment of Sean: a veteran. So I immediately readjusted my mentality, knowing that there is no way to fool me in this regard, but it is better to spread it out, so that the reputation of the Seddings Chamber of Commerce will be better: "Under normal circumstances, there are six to ten gold coins per family. Don't wait, if you want to directly buy a tribe in large quantities, I can give you a discounted price, which will be calculated based on eight gold coins."

Xiao En silently calculated that the price of eight gold coins is not outrageous. Normally, he can buy a medium-sized tribe with 2,500 households, but in fact this is just money to buy slaves, and these In fact, the food and drink of the slaves during the period after they were captured were charged separately.

"How about the food expenses?" Sean asked.

"Five gold coins for every hundred people a day."

Xiao En nodded, and said again: "Then, is there a tribe with about 2,000 households that has been captured less than a month ago?"

Two thousand households, even if each household has only one person who can participate in the battle, there are still two thousand people.

And the size of 2,000 people is the minimum number required for a standard infantry regiment; as for their family members, they can also be used as labor force. It is not a problem for women to be responsible for washing vegetables and cooking. Save it, if you have children, they can be injected as new blood when they grow up in the future. The most important point is that slaves with family members are much easier to control than those without family members. Even for the sake of family members, they belong to the same tribal group, and their cohesion is much stronger. Two candidates.

Sean had never been a lord before, but he had never eaten pork, at least he had seen pigs running. Therefore, he is still competent for some of the most basic concepts, but when the territory is really established, he really needs an internal affairs officer.

"There are three tribes that meet your current requirements." The man thought for a while, even took out a small book and flipped through it, and said after a while, "The northern barbarian tribe, the blue blood tribe, and a group of barbarians. ... But the price of barbarians, sir, you know, I can't count eight gold coins for you, it must start with ten gold coins, but the number of people is smaller, but the overall total is about 20,000 gold coins .”

"Take me to see those barbarians." Sean said without thinking. (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
