Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 509 28 Heath joins the team (1)

"Holy fire burns my soul, my Lord, forgive me for the sins I have committed."

"I am destined to throw my body into the holy fire and merge my soul into the eternal burning flame."

The next morning, before dawn, Old Harsh had already laid a blanket on the ground, lit the sacred fire, and recited the Flame Bible.

As a believer who follows King Xin, he does not like the activity of "human trafficking".

But this time, in order to complete the Waldorf family's commission, he had no other choice.

Most countries in the Mediterranean business circle have abandoned slavery, but the free people in the Black Desert still use their ancient way of life.

The slave trade was not prohibited in Memphis.

If you want to impress the "Styx Sacrifice", the surest way is to bring a dozen women of childbearing age. It's like pulling up a ship of gold in the Mediterranean, earning smiles wherever you go.

Harsh didn't like this behavior.

Because slave trading and transportation can be called the darkest and bloody business on this road, bar none!

**

Compared with the picturesque Mediterranean, no one likes to go to the black desert, which is arid and hot, where you can't take a bath once in three years and can only drink water twice a day.

However, tall and plump white Saxon women are the favorite race of the desert free people.

As you can imagine, this black industrial chain has been soaked in the blood of countless innocent girls from the moment it was born.

Human traffickers would start at farmers' homes near the Mediterranean Sea, capture young girls who had just grown up, and then put them into sailing boats and transport them all the way to the northern continent.

This is not a comfortable tourist route.

All countries hate human traffickers. They knew that if they were discovered, they would be brutally tortured.

In order to avoid inspections at various ports along the way, traffickers will use various inhumane means to hide these plundered girls.

Some would cut open the belly of the big fish, take out the internal organs, then tie the girl with chains and stuff them into the belly of the fish.

Some will set up a special compartment at the bottom of a large sailing ship, drug the girl into anesthesia in advance, and then stuff it into it.

What's more, their legs will be tied with a rope and they will be thrown directly into the sea.

Whether they can survive or not all depends on how long the navy who boarded the ship for inspection will stay on the ship. Once they stay on the ship for too long, they will only be mercilessly drowned if they dive into the bottom of the sea for too long.

This is just the waterway.

After arriving at the Principality of Ramses, there was still a long desert journey waiting for them. Not 1 in 10 girls can successfully cross the Black Desert, and after being transported to Memphis, they are greeted by a life in a cage like livestock.

They were kept in narrow wooden cages throughout the entire process.

In order to prevent the female slaves from committing suicide, the traffickers would tie their hands and feet throughout the process, and even feed them forcefully, just to maintain their lives.

It is true that Harsh is a businessman who makes a living on this road. He has dozens of mouths to feed, and he also knows the needs of free people for women.

But after taking off these heavy shackles, he is still a father and a grandfather of seven grandchildren. No father will remain indifferent when seeing those girls living in cages like beasts.

Harsh has been a businessman all his life. He certainly knows the truth of "no business, no harm".

Therefore, he never bought a woman.

This collaboration with the Royal Academy of Sciences is the only time he has made an exception in more than 40 years of experience.

The reason is still the same old reason.

The opportunity to collaborate with the Royal Academy of Sciences is a rare one.

If this journey can be completed successfully

1. Byzantine bachelors will appear in your team.

Under the cover of this big flag, it means that no one will dare to attack you.

2. The rewards given by bachelors are not low.

These guys who only have academic minds don't know how to settle accounts. As long as their needs are met, they don't care how many gold coins they ask for.

3. More importantly, he can also become a very important member of the Waldorf family.

This paves the way for his future.

After getting to know a member of such a large family, your descendants will most likely change their way of life. They will no longer be like me, wandering in and out of the yellow sand all year round.

It can be completely replaced by another more decent life.

After finishing the morning prayer, Old Harsh straightened his collar and walked out of the guest room door.

The more than one hundred carts of goods parked in the yard are enough to support him in doing anything in Memphis.

His hands formed the mark of soaring flames, and he chanted "Ask King Xin to forgive his sins" again. Unexpectedly, in the empty tavern hall where he just walked down the stairs, two figures had been waiting by the stairs for a long time.

One of them is Harsh's old acquaintance, Bulgai, the stable captain of the Sand Lake Hotel, and the other person standing next to him at this time is indeed a completely new face.

"Who is this"

Walking through the sand mouth is a dangerous road. Decades of survival experience have taught Harsh a rather simple truth -

——An unfamiliar face does not mean an opportunity, but may very well lead to danger.

During the hesitation, Harsh was about to stretch out his right hand to shake the tall young man's hand, but Bulgai took out the wine bottle again and poured a large gulp of strong liquor into his mouth.

"Brother Hash, I can guarantee you that the gold coin you gave me yesterday was the wisest investment in your life, bar none!"

Bulgai's old face was already flushed with alcohol, and at this time, Old Harsh already had the urge to curse.

If it weren't for his good wine and gambling, Bourguet was once a bold and careful businessman. The bad habit that he couldn't get rid of made him prosperous for only half of his life, and then his wife and children separated. Now he can only live in a hotel and look after horses for merchants.

After all, the two have known each other for more than ten years, and they have been getting along well for many years.

I didn't expect that yesterday I found out that Hash had money in his pocket, and this old guy dared to bring outsiders to plot against him!

Harsh narrowed his eyes and was just about to slap the old drunkard when the young man with chestnut hair next to him took the lead and stretched out his thick palm and showed a warm smile.

"Boss Hash, don't blame this friend yet."

"I heard your brothers in the caravan talking about tomorrow's journey at the casino last night. I just asked Mr. Bourguet to introduce me to him this morning."

"Believe me, just give me 5 minutes and I will prove to you that I have no ill intentions."

The chestnut-haired young man smiled warmly. Unlike the merchants who have been living in the desert for a long time, his clothes are cleanly washed, and even the beard on his face is neatly trimmed.

Even his manners have an innate elegance.

The two shook hands, and then the brown-haired young man took out a name card from his arms.

On it, his name is written——

——Heath Brancher!
