Start with the Lord of the Rings

early morning.

Astapor.

Inside the Desire Time Tavern.

When Morgan woke up from his sleep.

It was already bright outside the window.

From King's Landing in Westeros to Astapor on Essos.

It took more than four months and spanned two continents.

Two free trade city-states, three slave cities

Such a long and distant journey is something that most people in this world will never experience in a lifetime.

Morgan did have a good time relaxing today.

slept until it was bright.

The golden sunlight streamed in through the half-open window.

Make the whole room bright and warm.

Morgan opened his eyes, and the little slave girl Aphra beside her looked tired and fell asleep.

Tossed Aphra all night last night.

Morgan didn't even plan to wake her up.

Then he looked at the little dragon Siglia, who was curled up and asleep in the delicate blanket in the corner.

The little guy was also sleeping soundly.

Morgan got up slightly, got out of bed naked, and stretched.

Walking to the window, looking at the busy and noisy early morning street not far below, I exhaled a few long breaths.

Desire Time Tavern is located in the most central neighborhood of Astapor.

You can't see the sea here.

Maybe yesterday I should choose a tavern by the sea.

Seems to be okay to change it today.

No, I will be very busy today.

The bartender was sent last night to deliver news to some of the most important slave owners in Astapor.

Not surprisingly.

The other party should react when they know who they are.

The title of the "Triple Crown King" of the Tournament is very loud in Westeros.

But not in Essos.

Because that kind of activity is not popular here.

But Morgan isn't worried.

The three large cities along the coast of Slaver's Bay are all controlled by slave owners.

Astapor is no exception.

Can train warrior slave owners who control the world's reputation as the Unsullied.

Naturally, they are the biggest ones in the entire Astapor.

They are also the actual controllers of the entire city.

To say they don't know the big news in King's Landing in Westeros.

Morgan must be in disbelief.

The more senior, the more important, the more he understands the importance of news.

They may not care about Morgan's "Triple Crown" title.

But there's another thing Morgan has that they'll definitely care a lot about.

That's Morgan's massive wealth: 80,000 gold dragon coins.

Even Astapor's largest slave owner couldn't help but be tempted by such a astronomical wealth.

As for the number of 80,000 gold dragon coins, can Morgan carry it with him.

The slave owners were not worried at all.

Because Astapor is also known as the branch of the big bank "Iron Vault" that has spread all over the world.

Therefore, the slave owner had no doubt that Morgan could come up with the Golden Dragon Coin.

So.

Morgan sent word of the visit on the first day he arrived in Astapor.

Even if a few big slave owners don't care about Morgan's Triple Crown title, they will definitely respect the wealth Morgan has.

After all, the concept of "customer is God" has not only existed in previous life.

The world is equally prevalent.

Of course, there is no God in this world.

Rinse with prepared water.

Morgan just got dressed.

"Master don't go"

"Don't leave Aphra behind"

The eager voice of the little slave girl suddenly sounded in the quiet room.

Morgan turned his head to look, and saw Aphra suddenly sat up from the bed, her face eager.

Afra, who woke up from the dream, looked at the look in the eyes of her master, and immediately understood that she was sitting in a nightmare at this time, her face was slightly red, but she was not embarrassed.

She, who has mingled with her master several times, has changed a lot in her posture and personality than when she was frightened when she was in Pantos.

Just then, a strange cry sounded from the corner.

Morgan turned his head again.

I saw the little dragon Siglia closing her eyes, shaking her head, and wiggling her tail, as if she was also stretching.

Apparently, Aphra woke not only herself, but the little dragon as well.

"You're all awake, then get up, there are a lot of things today."

Morgan opened the door and went out to order breakfast.

When Siglia saw her old father go out, she was about to follow.

Aphra, who was getting up to take a shower, quickly stopped it.

The preciousness of young dragons is beyond doubt.

Although Morgan is not afraid to expose the existence of the young dragon, it is natural to avoid it.

Because you don't know when the greedy guy will come to steal the dragon.

As long as Siglia is exposed, such thieves will definitely appear.

Blocked by Aphra.

The little guy Siglia was a little unhappy.

But his father had already explained it this way, and the little guy had no choice but to scream and express his dissatisfaction by expressing his hunger.

Looking at the little dragon flying on the dining table in the room, swinging its big tail and opening its mouth and shaking its head.

Aphra, who was washing, couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, your lord has already ordered breakfast, and soon you can have a delicious breakfast."

The voice fell.

The little dragon Siglia was still standing on the dining table in her own way and screaming.

Aphra also ignored the little guy and concentrated on washing up.

For her, while Siglia grew up quickly, her character became more and more naughty, and her temper seemed to be getting worse and worse.

The little guy used to listen to her.

But now, Siglia almost only listens to her master's words.

No matter how much she pleases the little guy.

It didn't take long.

The room door was knocked again.

Aphra immediately turned her head to look at Siglia on the dining table.

No matter how dissatisfied the little guy who had heard the movement had no choice but to flap his wings and fly to the corner behind the door.

Because that's what my father told me.

"Who?"

Seeing Siglia obediently flying back to the corner, Aphra looked at the door and asked.

"it's me."

Morgan's voice sounded.

Aphra looked happy and immediately stepped forward to open the door.

Standing in front of the door was not only Morgan, but also two tavern maids with large plates behind them.

Looking at one of the two maids with big breasts and the other with very upturned buttocks in very cool clothes.

Aphra murmured in her heart and moved out of the way.

The two maids left quickly.

Morgan sat at the dining table.

Immediately in his mind, he remembered what the bartender told him when he was at the bar below.

And, a delicate invitation letter in pale yellow on the table.

"Krazny, the largest slave owner in Astapor, welcomed Morgan and invited Morgan to the castle where he lived."

After breakfast.

Morgan carried the big cage covered with black cloth and took Aphra out of the tavern.

Take the reins from the tavern groom.

Looking at the two horses who were pulling the exquisite carriage after cleaning and clearly in good spirits.

Morgan got into the driver's seat.

The invitation of the "Krazny" of the great slave owner must be fulfilled.

However, in this world, in the face of other people's invitations, if the other party does not specifically say the specific time and place.

Then the best time to make an appointment is in the evening.

Astapor is no exception.

So Morgan planned to go to the Great Slave Lord's Castle in the evening to make an appointment.

As for now.

He needs to take a good look around Astapor and get to know Astapor.

Because next, the city will belong to him.

Morgan's own Astapor.

It is early spring, the season of hope.

Although the season of hope in the city of slaves is a bit harsh.

But come to Astapor.

Several iconic places are definitely to be visited.

There are several representative large squares such as "Pride Square", "Punishment Square" and "Colosseum".

Morgan is sure to turn around.

The spring sun in Astapor is just as warm.

Along the coast road, looking at the endless deep blue sea, listening to the waves not far away, afraid of the sound of the waves hitting the coast.

The big plan that Morgan was pondering was meticulous and solemn, and the already tight bowstring could not help but relax a little.

His next plan: contact the big slave owner, propose to buy the Unsullied warriors, all the Unsullied warriors, and then use the Unsullied army to kill the slave owners, and finally control the entire Astapor.

The whole plan was the same as the plot in his mind, when Daenerys Targaryen "Empty Gloves White Wolf" robbed Astapor forcibly.

In fact it is.

Morgan intends to be like Daenerys Targaryen.

However, the reason why the other party could get several slave owners to agree to the transaction at the beginning was because Daenerys had three young dragons and could use the dragons as collateral.

Morgan can do the same.

Because even if he was carrying the astronomical sum of more than 80,000 Golden Dragon Coins, he could not afford all the "Unsullied" warriors.

Because it's too expensive.

said earlier.

He made a lot of preparations in advance for coming to Astapor, and he got a lot of information from the bartender with a tip yesterday.

Thus know the price of the Unsullied Warrior.

An Unsullied warrior is worth 30 gp, which is extremely expensive.

And, these Unsullied warriors aren't just for sale.

The minimum purchase quantity is one hundred, or more.

A 100-man army of Unsullied warriors is worth 3000 gp.

At such an expensive price, ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

Compare that to the mercenaries that can be found in every city.

The price per Unsullied warrior is too high.

If three thousand gold coins are used to hire mercenaries and knights, the number of mercenaries that can be recruited can far exceed the number of 100 people.

But the Unsullied are expensive and expensive.

But every Unsullied warrior after the highest intensity training is definitely the most powerful combat unit in the whole world. They are strong and determined, and they don't know what to fear.

Most importantly, their unconditional obedience to their master's orders!

That's why the Unsullied are so expensive, buyers still flock to it, and their reputation spreads around the world.

The most famous battle the Unsullied fought in was the Battle of Kohor many years ago, when only 3,000 Unsullied fighters fended off an attack of more than 50,000 Dothraki soldiers led by a single Temerkhal.

After this battle, the "Unsullied" became even more famous.

But the Unsullied are even more expensive.

Morgan has to buy too.

Closer to home.

Buying the Unsullied, the plan to occupy Astapor is easier said than done.

But in practice it is far from simple.

Occupying an entire city is definitely more difficult and troublesome than Daenerys Targaryen's occupation of Astapor in Morgan's mind.

But no matter how difficult it is.

Morgan is also going head-to-head.

Otherwise, with the slowness and difficulty of his systematic exploration progress, he would only be able to die in this world.

"crunch."

The carriage drove at a constant speed on the coastal road.

Twenty minutes later.

Morgan came to the Punishment Square inside the main gate of Astapor.

Punishment Square: This is where new slaves are brought into the city, and where those who commit crimes or rebellion will be punished or executed.

To put it simply, this is the place where slave owners executed slaves, and it is also a slaughterhouse.

On the edge of the wide open-air plaza, a large number of stone piles were erected, and many of them had been tied to slaves with tattered clothes and blood.

All these slaves tied to stone stakes have been sentenced to death by the slave owners behind them.

To be tied to a stone stake is to wait for death, to be blown by the cold wind in the middle of the night, to be exposed to the sun, and to be pecked by vultures and scavengers.

This time in the square.

Except for slaves who are tied to stone stakes to die or have died.

More are kneeling in the square, there are various slaves of men and women.

In front of them stood one or several rich people or nobles wearing the "toka robes", the symbol of aristocracy, reprimanding something.

[Toka Robe: It is a long, loose and dragging cloth worn by nobles and wealthy people in all the cities along the coast of Slave Bay. To wear it, it must be worn around the hips, under the armpits and around the shoulders. It is worn like this to reveal the hanging fringe, which is usually decorated with some decoration. 】

Watch the slaves waiting to die around the square, and more slaves being punished.

Morgan's face was calm, and he couldn't see any sadness or joy.

Sitting in the carriage, Afra looked at all this on the square through the large window, but there was deep fear and happiness in her eyes.

Didn't stay long in Punishment Square.

Morgan drove to his next destination.

On that day, the light group in the sky moved to the uppermost sky above.

Morgan arrives at a third location: Pride Square.

Pride Square: This is where slave owners in the city show their slaves to their customers.

So in this square.

Morgan saw a lot of various slaves.

There are strong male slaves who are trained as warriors and are fully armed.

There are also a large number of thinly dressed, beautifully built and good-looking groups of female slaves.

There were even a large number of juvenile slaves.

This is also a real eye-opener for Morgan, compared to the Pride Square in Astapor.

The slave trading market he had seen in the free trade city-state of Pentos or the trade city-state of Norvos was completely insignificant.

Leave Pride Plaza.

Morgan soon came to another well-known location not far away: the Colosseum.

Although it is also a place for entertainment activities.

But the arena of Astapor in the three major slave cities is obviously different from those in other cities.

Because the games held here are so "special".

For example: have slave girls duel with bulls;

Have a group of children covered in honey or slave children of other foods duel a hungry giant bear, and then bet on which child the giant bear will eat first. And so many very "different" entertainment competitions.

When leaving the arena.

Morgan looked a little silent. He finally understood what the word "Slave City" really meant.

The sky sank westward that day.

The fiery red sunset glows on the horizon.

When evening comes.

Morgan took Aphra's young dragon Siglia to the appointment.

After half an hour.

The carriage stopped in front of a huge castle.

As soon as Morgan got out of the car, he saw a number of tall Unsullied warriors in black armor standing guard on both sides of the castle.

In front of the castle gate guarded by the Unsullied warriors.

Several big slave owners in pale yellow toka robes were waiting there with a smile.
