Chapter 388: The folk customs are simple and simple, Karinshan

In the scuffle a few days ago, there were not a few pirates who managed to escape, so Levi still had some predictions about the chain reaction that would be triggered after this battle.

It's just that due to the sudden changes later, some unexpected and even ridiculous things still happened, one is Luscan's sudden declaration of war on the Kendick dynasty on Lunaris Island, and the other is that the group of 'Kou Tao Fishmen' not only did not stay away from the pirates after causing tons of psychological shadows, but used them as mascots out of a way similar to 'primitive worship'...

Not to mention, these 'Kou Tao Fish Men' formed by slimes are a bit dull and quite deceptive when they are below the plural number, due to the lack of necessary 'thinking circuits' to form a cluster consciousness.

They don't resemble the fish-people of the ocean, their distant relatives, covered in sharp and venomous barbs.

These slimes are generally only the size of an adult's head, and their bodies are much more rounded, and some of the scales have shiny silver reflections, even if they may be a little ugly, they are also ugly...

It's no wonder that the mages investigating the incident were quickly abducted to 'study' first, and then taken in by the coastal adventurers.

However, this is good news for Levi in the long run, which is equivalent to indirectly expanding the detection range of their Zelandia, but due to the spatial and distance limitations of information transmission between slimes, tens of thousands of fishmen are scattered, which is very sparse, and the timeliness of catching valuable information transmission will be greatly reduced.

Unless they all use a whole 'slime dot chain network cable' like a steel egg for special care, but then the load is a bit too much for the current Kaka.

In fact, at the beginning, Levi also considered whether to use this characteristic of slimes to spread these 'eyes of surveillance' on a large scale, but considering the many 'problems' behind it, he still gave up, and it was impossible for Calvin to really let Calvin develop slimes into adult products and sell them... That's crazy.

Seeing that the group of people in Fischer seemed to be a little stunned, the orc tax collector quickly turned back to the topic, and said with a smile to himself:

"To introduce myself, I'm Bartel, the tax officer at Port 6 in Port Karin. I don't know what kind of business you have come to Port Karin this time? If it's luxury, weaving, or handicrafts, I can find you good buyers, and if you want to buy slaves, I'll have one... The price is relatively low, and you only need to charge some... A small fee, as you know, Port Karin hasn't been very peaceful in recent years... So, hey, hey. ”

Fischer gave Elisa a color, and Elisa immediately realized, "We have a batch of slaves to sell, and if there is a good supply, we need to buy another batch of slaves." ”

Butterle was stunned for a moment, sold one batch of slaves, and bought another batch of slaves... What is the operation.

However, he felt that he still needed to be reminded: "Then your luck is not good, due to Luscan's declaration of war on Luskan Island, a large number of 'ghost ships' and even warships have begun to move towards the Lunaris Islands, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of ships shuttling between the Sea of Swords and the Sea of Nlanthel recently, and now even our local slaves are a little unsalable, if you are just ordinary slaves, I'm afraid... I can't sell for a good price. ”

"What about the pros?" asked Fischer.

The brutal 'death screening' of the fishmen of Baremlu and their group of fishmen, and the pirate captives who can survive such a high-intensity battle are more or less employed in certain professions, and their combat effectiveness is not too low.

"Naturally, they are the best-selling hard currency at any time, as long as they take a little measure, they are the best guards, gladiators, cannon fodder, even if the corpses are sold to those necromancers who twist the runes, they can make good undead warriors, and even sell their souls directly to hell and the abyss. ”

The orc Battle's eyes lit up suddenly, and he gushed about the benefits of being a professional, and then as if he realized something, he looked at the dreadnought behind Fischer with anticipation:

"So, you have a lot of such slaves?"

Alyssa couldn't help but look at Fischer, and when she saw him nodding, she said to Felix:

"Let's arrange 'unloading', and by the way, settle the remuneration of the adventurers' team, and ask them if they would like to take on another simple escort mission. ”

"I'll arrange it, miss. Felix bowed slightly.

A few minutes later, with a crunch, a group of unkempt, confused, and bewildered pirate captives with their hands temporarily tied with fishing nets were seen walking out of the boat at the urging of the adventurers.

Even if he is captured, he still can't change his habit of scolding.

In the eyes of this group of pirates, since this group of fierce guys did not execute them on the spot, it means that they still need to be used, as long as they are alive, anything is possible.

It's just that as soon as the more than 400 pirate captives with the obvious smell of blood appeared, they stunned Battle, who was a tax collector, especially when he saw the moon elf Merlin Dela, who had snake hair among the slaves, his jaw was a little closed.

Battle has been wandering around Karin Harbor for so many years, although he doesn't know Elisa, the Queen of Sword Bay, who is also coming to Karin Harbor for the first time, but according to these pirate captives in front of him and the rumors a while ago, how can he not guess that this group of people in front of him is the guys who killed the pirate alliance of Nerancer a while ago, and this merchant ship full of 'wooden patches' is the 'ironclad' that has recently been rumored to the sky?

Immediately, he felt that the goddess of luck Tymorrah lifted the skirt towards him, and it was like Voking, the goddess of wealth, suddenly favored him, in short... He's got lucky!

Immediately no longer hesitated, immediately piled up a flattering smile, rubbed his big hands full of black dirt and said in the angry gaze of the adventurers:

"Oh, it turned out that the respected Archmage Fei She and Queen Alyssa of Sword Bay were in person, where do you need such trouble, and what adventurers do you hire, this batch of goods can be completely eaten by our Ruiden Federation alone!

"Price... It may not be the highest, but it will save you a lot of time and effort.

"You see, just to transport these slaves, you may have to pay a lot of security commissions, and there will be resettlement fees, and even a batch of food to prevent them from starving to death, which is all money!

"Alright, you can inspect the goods and quote a price. ”

Before the orc could say more, he was interrupted by a wave of Fisher's hand, because Levi had already signaled him to make a direct deal with him with a magical communication.

Even if the tax officer doesn't need to say much, as administrators, they naturally understand how troublesome it is to dispose of these pirates through formal channels, maybe they can indeed make more money, but the risk is completely disproportionate to the time and energy.

This time I came to Karinsan, making money is no longer the main purpose, how to get as many people back to the Northland as possible before the sea route becomes completely 'dangerous'.

In addition, they are already carrying a lot of trouble at this time, and it is naturally good to be able to deal with this batch of 'time bombs' that can cause trouble at any time in advance.

This unexpected and refreshing answer made Battle's heart swell instantly, but Fisher's next sentence made his fiery heart half cold.

Fischer pointed to the dazed 'Merlin Dela': "This is not for sale. ”

The orc Battle opened his mouth, originally wanting to fight for it again, but when he saw the other party's determined eyes, he suddenly wisely chose to shut his mouth.

He has also dealt with spellcasters for many years, and naturally understands the nature of most spellcasters: once they decide on something, it is difficult for the outside world to easily change their will, at least not if it is not something he can change.

Seeing that Levi on his shoulder glanced at him meaningfully, Fischer was frightened and hurriedly explained with magic communication:

"Boss, I'm not planning to use my power for personal gain, it doesn't matter if the other pirates escape or are redeemed by the pirate organization behind them. But this elf is also an archmage, and it is also a person from Luskan, if she escapes back, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome, although there is nothing valuable from her mouth in the past two days, but we can completely hand her over to Calvin for interrogation, or even bring her back to Zelandia to be dealt with by Disana, they have already had a mature set of means to deal with these distant relatives on the surface. ”

Levi was noncommittal about this: "Don't hide it, it's not a day or two that you like to patronize Zhuoer's business, this trip is hard, this moon elf will be given to you, you can dispose of it at will." ”

"......" Fei She really didn't know how to refute for a while, and it was difficult to resist the boss's 'reward', but she was a little puzzled, and said in her heart, has her elf control reached the point where everyone knows about it?

In the end, they traded with the Reeden Federation on the spot at a price slightly below the market price, and for the first time, Levi saw a transaction settled directly in boxes of gold bricks.

Syllable!

"Come with me, cattle, what are you staring at, and I'll break your leg if I look at it again, don't expect anyone else to buy you back, you pirates, don't you even have the slightest awareness?"

A group of members of the Confederation who rushed to hear the news whipped their leather whips and drove away the pirate captives who were angry and angry.

They may be sent to the arena to dance with wild beasts, they may be sold to necromancers for experimental specimens, or they may be dragged to the black mines to dig to their deaths, who knows? No one cares about that.

This is Karinsan, and this is the fate of the slaves in Karin.

Every day, countless people are enslaved, sold, used, consumed, and forgotten.

And many of them, through the hands of these pirates, have become slaves here, and they have only experienced what happened to the travelers who were plundered by them.

On the contrary, Merlin Dela stared at these pirate captives who were like cattle being taken away, and did not know what to think, perhaps in her opinion, it was better to be sold here than to face an unknown fate, and with her status as an archmage, there was still a slight possibility to break free from the shackles and regain freedom.

The red-robed mage looked at her with a look that made her feel a little scared...

She couldn't help but recall the years when she was trapped in the dark region, and the despair she experienced.

It's just that just as this group of freshly baked slaves was about to be pulled away, there were suddenly earth-shattering screams and shouts of killing at the east gate of Karin City.

"Prepare for battle!"

Alyssa immediately changed color, and Felix and the adventurers on the ship who had not yet had time to go their separate ways drew their weapons and looked around in some panic.

Having endured several big scenes on the Intrepid in quick succession, their nerves seem to have become a little fragile lately.

"Hey, hey, don't panic, don't worry, you can't get here!"

The orc Badr waved at the crowd, signaling that they were at ease.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Fischer asked Levi, who was acting as a mascot on his shoulder, wondering.

"Hey, isn't that 'Wandering Pasha'?"

Badr scowled with disdain.

"Sil Pasha Peshahar, the deposed king?" Fischer asked.

Even the two 'salted fish' on their shoulders couldn't help but look at them curiously.

"Sort of, but I heard that a few years ago it was re-established by the merchants of Suldorf, no, every once in a while, some untouchables will be driven to die, in the name of counterattacking Karin Port and purging the Karin royal court. ”

When the orc Badr talks about the name, it's like a joke:

"The first counterattack was so powerful that I had already prepared for the city to be destroyed, but a few of the leaders simply followed the example of the Black Orc Blake, and brought our 'queen', who was also the wandering Pashasil's former youngest daughter, and her sister daughters, to the city, and to comfort the labor army in front of their father, while reading out the pre-war message to their father on the spot.

"Aha, you don't know how ugly the face of the waste king was at that time, and he was directly thrown off his horse by vomiting blood in anger, and he collapsed for thousands of miles, and he never organized any decent battles again.

"This time I guess I heard that Luskan has openly declared war on Moonshadow Island, and I think it's a good opportunity not to be missed, don't worry, just that waste, if he can bring Karin down again, I, Badr, will take off my head and stuff it in my eyes.

"As far as I think, they haven't marched into the mountains yet, and the 'Janice Saar' rebel group that has been shouting for the emancipation of slaves all day long is combative. ”

Fischer and Holtz couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this...

I always think... The simplicity of the people of Karinsan's ghost place is not inferior to the city of Gerthorne back then...

At the same time, I also have a new understanding of the chaos in this place.

Black the Orc Black who still doesn't know where to hide and accumulate power, the twisted runes that dance for joy in death, the Redon Federation who have not yet figured out the ingredients, the Dark Churches that secretly stir the tides, and the judgment Jean-Nisal who is entrenched in the traveling mountains, and above all this, there is a 'Sean's Dragon Quesa' who has awakened once in a hundred years and set off a storm and thunder.

And Levi, who was sitting on Fisher's shoulder, was secretly frightened by the terrifying mortality rate inadvertently revealed in the orc tax officer's words.

This kind of battle should be at least tens of thousands of people, but in the words of the other party, it is like wheat in the field that can be harvested at any time...

It's really... Human life is like a mustard.

Such a place, such a hell on earth.

Presumably... It must be very favored by the three gods of death.
