Chapter 8: The Barbarians
Karn had had been having a lot of headaches lately, and as a slave trader, he had a group of slaves smashed into his hands lately. Just last month, he was cheated.
Last month, when he had just entered the industry, a slave trader who was unable to repay his huge debts sold his slaves to other slave traders, including more than a hundred barbarians.
In Karn's thoughts, it is easy to control the family with the mouth, with these old and weak women and children in hand, these barbarians will not betray, and these powerful barbarians are definitely the best choice to sell to the noble lord as personal guards.
So he spent most of his money to buy this group of barbarians. After buying the barbarians again, Karn began to sell them around, only to end up in an ice cave.
No one wants to buy these barbarians, even if he pushes the price lower than he bought. More than a hundred barbarians were more able to eat than one another, and in a month, the slaves did not sell a single one, but took a large amount of food.
Later, after some inquiry, he learned that no one would buy them as guards because of the barbarians' madness, which means that his slaves were smashed in his hands, and to his worst, his money was almost gone.
If he can't sell the slaves, maybe he will have to go home at the end of this month to inherit his father's trading house. His original promise that he would start a career was in vain.
...
"Are you selling these slaves?" asked Su Lun, looking at the somewhat stunned slave trader in front of him.
"Sell, of course sell, you want to buy slaves?" Karn stared at Suren with bright eyes, and Suren felt a little hairy in his heart.
"Yes, how much do these slaves cost?" Suren gestured to the group of barbarians next to him.
"Sir, you are so discerning, my slaves here are definitely the best in the slave market, you see that such a strong warrior only costs ten gold narls, and the entire slave market will not find a lower price than me!" Karn enthusiastically pulled Su Lun and introduced, for fear that it would not be easy for the receiver to run away.
Su Lun looked at the barbarians, and among them about a quarter were male warriors, and the rest were old and weak women and children. There are many wounds on the male warriors, and at a glance they know that they are elite warriors, and although this slave trader is full of trains, these slaves are indeed good.
"Ten golden-narr, you haven't woken up, have you? Su Lun glanced at Karn with a smirk, "You're going to use me as a Kaizi." β
"These berserkers are just the stuff that no one wants, you want ten gold narls, keep them for yourself. With that, Su Lun turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that the pick-up man who had been waiting for him was leaving, Karn couldn't care about anything, and grabbed Su Lun, "Sir, the price is negotiable, don't be in a hurry to leave!"
"Why don't you leave, waiting to be cheated by you unscrupulous profiteer?" Suren struggled to break free of Karn's arm.
"Seven kinnars, seven kinnars!" Karn said quickly, sensing the strength of the struggle in his hand.
"Seven Jinnar, if the price is still acceptable, but I only need those adult warriors!" Suren said without struggling.
"Thisβ" Karn clawed a little, "sir, those women and children are the families of these warriors, and it is difficult for them to serve you without their families. β
"What's the use of these old and weak women and children, you have to spend money to support them when you buy them, how can I have so much food to supply them, since you have to sell them together, then you can keep it." After saying that, Su Lun made a gesture to leave again.
"Six, six kinnar. Seeing that Suren was about to leave, Karn closed his eyes helplessly, and said unwillingly, "But these old and weak women and children are sold with these warriors!"
"Good!" Su Lun immediately agreed.
"Uhβ" Hearing Suren's neat agreement, Karn didn't react for a moment.
"There are a total of one hundred and twenty-six people here, each of whom has six jinnars, which adds up to seven hundred and fifty-six jinnars, this is the payment, you click on it. Suren took out a purse, counted some of it, and threw the rest of the Kinnar and the purse to Karn, not giving him a chance to repent.
When he got the heavy gold coins and saw Su Lun paying so quickly, he knew that he had lost money this time, but who let himself sell in a hurry was pinched by someone's weakness.
Sell the cumbersome, but Karn was not happy in his heart, he lost at least seven hundred gold coins in this business, and he bought ten gold narls for these slaves, and then supplied the slaves with food and rented space, which almost bankrupted him.
Although this business has been lost, there are still more than 700 gold coins, as long as you are serious and follow your own business theory, you will soon be able to earn it back, and the business kingdom belonging to my Karn will set sail.
After comforting himself, Karn quickly made a deal with Suren to give the barbarians a slave contract.
After putting away the slave contract, Suren took these barbarians out of the slave market, so many slaves needed to find a place to settle as soon as possible, fortunately, Suren was also a nobleman, and soon he bought an idle barracks from the city hall.
This military camp is located in a remote location, at least a hundred years of history, once the Carthusian city because it was the front line, so there were a lot of standing troops, and later with the expansion of the territory, it was no longer the front line, the standing army was also dismantled, the military camp was naturally empty, many idle military camps have been demolished because of urban development, this is also because of the remote location This is retained.
As Suren expected, the camp was in a dilapidated state, and many of the roofs of the houses in the camp had collapsed. Fortunately, when it was first built, there were no corners, the main body of the house was quite strong, and the area of the barracks was large enough. As long as the roof is repaired, you can live in it.
Suren contacted the merchants to buy some materials and hired craftsmen to repair the house, and he went to the schoolyard in the camp to talk to the slaves he had just bought.
The reason why barbarians are called barbarians is because of their strength, unlike the Florentines, the height of barbarians is generally about two meters one, and Suren's height of one meter nine is already very outstanding among Florentines, plus he has been practicing martial arts all year round, and the muscles on his body are also very strong, but compared with these barbarians, he is completely a younger brother.
Any adult savage can abuse him in height and muscles. On the school ground, one hundred and twenty-six barbarians stood there quietly, staring at Su Lun coldly, although they were slaves, it seemed that they didn't care much about Su Lun.
