After spending most of the day and night at sea with pirates and fishmen, the Swan had deviated from its route to Pumao Harbor.

At this time, the Swan had already crossed the island and reef area, not far from the Imperial Navy's base on San Nado Island, and the journey ahead should be relatively safe.

Captain Alfonso, after consulting with his passengers, decided to return to his original route, resupply and repair the hull of the ship on the island of Santo Nado, and then proceed to Poitou, the province of Genoa.

The island of San Nado is a large island with an area of 50 square kilometers. The island has a small indigenous population, but the total population is close to 100,000.

The economy relied mainly on garrisons and passing merchant ships, and because of the development of shipping and the prosperity of overseas trade, the economy here was not bad, and the imperial court also set up customs and tax offices here.

There are the best hotels, the best food, the best drinks, and the most beautiful women, and at the same time, the shady deals, and nameless corpses appear on the beach every day.

It's a place of disintegration.

The Swan stayed here for two days, and the tense spirits of all the sailors and passengers were relaxed, and this terrible journey left them desperately need to vent.

During this time, Captain Alfonso reported to the local garrison about encounters with pirates and fish demons, but was dismissed with only a "to be investigated" conclusion.

Outwardly, the port of San Nado was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the prismatic defensive fortress stretched out into the sea, enveloping the warships and merchant ships in the harbor in its bosom and forming crossfire, which was difficult for outside forces to cross the crossfire network.

But the navy soldiers, all of them were in a relaxed spirit, and Sean even saw the soldiers on duty at the sentry post drinking and sleeping.

Whether it is a domestic merchant or a foreign merchant who speaks various languages, in the eyes of the soldier or the customs officer, it is fat, and they want to take a bite from the merchant, as for whether the goods carried by the merchant are prohibited or not, whether the price of the goods is consistent, it is not important to turn a blind eye.

Inside the harbor, the lights are bright, and drunken officers and soldiers can be seen everywhere. It is even possible to gamble openly here.

According to Captain Alfonso, this is a paradise for smugglers, wanted criminals and adventurers.

I don't know if Raj Jensen is considered an adventurer, he came to San Nado with the mentality of getting rich overnight, only to lose his money in the casino and go into debt.

So, now Raj Jensen is being publicly "auctioned" - a five-year servant contract.

He was standing in the middle of a group of foreign beauties of all colors, all of whom had been trafficked and even illegally plundered from countries where slavery was still prevalent.

In addition to this, there was a group of sturdy Caucasian men from San Diego, a small country south of the Western Ocean Alliance, known for its abundance of gladiators.

The Europa Empire eliminated slavery as early as the end of the Fourth Empire, and although the nobility or upper class still had considerable binding force on their servants, it was not a slave state after all, and the mercenary system was practiced. This is not the case when foreign countries are sold into their own countries, and a significant proportion of the population takes pride in the use of foreign slaves.

The last emperor of the Fourth Reich armed an army of Santiago slaves.

In the midst of a crowd of barely well-dressed slaves of all strips, Raj Jensen was clearly not going to sell for much, even though the five-year servant contract was only 20 gold louis.

The auctioneer was clearly humiliating Raj Jensen to his heart's content, his back hunched and his face expressionless, looking at his feet as if there was a flower growing there.

The most eye-catching was a 16-year-old black beauty from the Kenyan Empire, who sold for 50 gold louis. She was at the age of budding, with straight legs and plump breasts, and her black skin radiated with a lustrous and exotic charm.

The businessmen and some naval officers in the audience gave generously, and some drunks even jumped on the stage to touch them, and were bombarded by the thugs of the sellers, causing the audience to laugh.

The black beauty was eventually bought by a pot-bellied Gyeonggi merchant for 300 gold louis.

Sean had no intention of intervening until the auction host introduced Denzel Jensen:

"Raj Jensen, 42 years old, is in good physical condition. Of course he was not a slave, the Empire forbade its citizens to be slaves, and he went bankrupt because he came here by selling a batch of furs......"

"Haha, it's funny that he actually sells furs to the hot south!" The audience burst into laughter, almost bursting the auction room.

When everyone had laughed enough, the auction host continued:

"Because of bankruptcy, I got drunk, and I went to the casino for a day trip, and I ended up owing someone money, of course, not much, as long as you pay 20 louis, you can make him a servant for 5 years. The price is very cheap, and it costs 20 gold louis to hire a domestic helper in Poitou for a year to take care of food and housing, and he only needs 20 for 5 years!"

"Did he eat too much?" someone coaxed.

"Has he been castrated?"

"At the very least, humanity should be enjoyed. The host said with a blank face.

"And what will he do?" someone asked.

"I can eat, I can sleep, I can think about women. Someone rushed to answer.

"Haha!"

The crowd burst into laughter again, and the host had to hammer the wooden hammer to the sky.

Raj Jensen, who claims to be a good carer of livestock and gardening, also said that if you cross two different kinds of crops, it is possible to produce a high-yielding crop, like a horse and a donkey cross......

"Haha, hybrid!"

The audience laughed as if they were cheering, and the host shouted helplessly:

"Start at 20 gold louis reserve price, add 5 gold louis each time, start!"

However, no one cared.

"For 20 gold louis, you get a servant who can serve you for 5 years, with a guarantee that the contract is complete, and if he dares to escape, you can report it to the patrol officer anywhere, and let him live in prison for the rest of his life. Just 20 gold louis!"

Still no one cares.

It's not that the price is too high, but in the eyes of everyone in the audience, Denzel Jensen is obviously a not-so-smart man with gambling habits and gibberish, and God knows what kind of trouble such a servant will bring to himself.

Just when the host thought it was going to be unsuccessful, Sean raised his hand.

"This discerning gentleman has made a bid, and what other gentleman is in charge?

......

At night, the lights come on.

Sean sits in a restaurant that serves Xia Guo food. After looking at it for a long time, he found that his expectations for Xia Guo's diet fell far behind, and he stared at the bowl of chop noodles in front of him for a long time.

It's really tearful, the so-called choppy noodles are pounded into small pieces, and when they are broken, they become choppy noodles.

Raj Jensen on the other side was obviously not conscious of becoming a servant, and Sean had not yet started, he had already eaten the third bowl.

"You haven't eaten in a few days?" Sean asked.

"Sir, I've only eaten once a day for the past half a month. Jensen replied, and deliberately added, "Don't worry, sir, I don't pick food." ”

"Well, so I don't have to worry about wasting food, thank you, Mr. Jensen, for your understanding. Sean said, "Is it enough, do you want another bowl?"

Sean pushed his bowl in front of Jensen.

Jensen burped, his face turned red, and he defended himself: "Sir, don't believe those people's nonsense, you hired me, it will definitely be worth the money." ”

"Like 'hybridization'?" Sean asked with a smile.

"I used to plant flowers for a nobleman, a precious calendula, which was golden in color. One day I saw a peasant with a mule, a beast of great strength and gentle temper, which had the advantages of both a horse and a donkey. So I wondered if the flowers could be improved by hybridization to make them bloom bigger, or change their color?"

"And how did you do that?" asked Sean.

"I tried for a few years without success, but once I saw a blue calendula in the corner of the garden, the only one, oh my God, dare I say it was the only one in the world. It's a pity that it was still a bud when it broke in, and a horse trampled into mud. "Since there was once such an unopened blue marigold, there must be a way to achieve it." ”

"And then you had the idea of selling a batch of furs to come here for money?" quipped.

"Sir, this is my first and only time in business. I admit that I am not a business material, and I finally saved the money, but I didn't expect to lose all my money, so I had to get drunk. Somebody dragged me into the casino, and I was delirious, otherwise how could I gamble? They're in a group. ”

Jensen explained vigorously.

"I don't care what stupid things you've done before, from now on, you're my servant. You know what a servant is supposed to do?" asked Sean.

"Cooking, serving the master, freshening up, warming the bed?"

"Warm the bed?" Sean was amused, "It seems that you really have a problem with your brain, but these servants don't count on you either." When you get to Poitou, I'll make arrangements for you. ”
