Chapter 27 Successful Transaction
The history of the earth's civilization records that in the early years of the fourteenth century A.D., by Antao? GonΓ§alves and Nuno? A Portuguese expedition led by Tristao plundered ten black Africans off the coast near Cape Brown and brought them back to Lisbon to sell, which was the beginning of the slave trade.
In the second half of the fifteenth century, the Portuguese trafficked slaves from the coasts of West Africa to their home countries for domestic and agricultural labour, or to work on new sugar plantations in the Atlantic islands of Madeira, Canary Islands and Cape Verde, where some 500 to 1,000 slaves were sold each year.
After the 17th century, a large number of black slaves were sold by Europeans to North America for agricultural work such as sugar cane and cotton.
A few years ago, there were two movies that reflected the tragedy of black slaves, one was "Twelve Years of Slavery" and the other was "Django Liberated", and the two films truly reflected the destruction of slave owners on the slaves' bodies and **.
In the land of Agras, there were also slaves. As a slave, you don't have the right and money to redeem yourself, just like a commodity that you have to be bought and sold, there are two ways to get rid of slaves, Liu Wuyao knows that there are two kinds, one is that someone pays to redeem your body, and the other is to gain freedom through the life and death struggle in the gladiatorial arena. Of course, the probability of the latter surviving is very small, and compared to the ancient Roman gladiatorial arena on the earth, the gladiatorial arena on the land of Agras is more bloody and exciting, listening to Huram, not only human slaves, but also orcs, half-orcs, barbarians, monsters, etc.
There are many mysterious kingdoms in the land of Agras, and there may be other ways to get rid of slaves, but none of them are so easy.
The slaves of Diaz Manor are better than those on the farm, at least they don't have the heavy physical work, and they don't have the guards whipping your back and coming coldly.
According to Huram, five slaves were sold at Diaz Manor this year, one of which was bought back by his family, and he was originally a tourist to Elmeguia, but he was involved in a dispute, and then he was captured and became an official slave, which is the official punishment for you. This is a punishment second only to hanging. His family had been looking for him for a long time and finally found him. Andra bought him for only twenty-five Sayavis (gold coins), but when he sold him, he offered a hundred Sayavis. In the end, his family ransomed him.
In the case of Liu Wuyao, if you want to reach Wilberus, the capital of Al Megia, you must have a paiwen, which is an official identity document that needs to be used to go out of the city to enter the city for employment and sales, etc. What's more, in the next step, approaching the princess can't be a "black household", and it is impossible for a "black household" to stay with the princess.
On the day of the ten-day covenant.
Today is the time to make an appointment with the owner of the liquor store, Hastia, and it is also the time to meet with Hurram's teacher, Belladesi. The letter had been sent by Lorna eight days earlier, and it would take three days to send it, and it would take three days to come to Hanstar City, that is, six days, so as long as the letter was delivered, it would be in time.
In the letter, Hu Ram mentioned the ransom and the place of meeting, Hu Ram himself could not go out to meet with Belladesi, and could only meet him by Liu Wuyao.
That is, in the agreed tea shop, the two tied a red handkerchief to their left hand. It's a bit like the way underground party members connect.
The signature at the end of Huram is his real name: Manticor? Ramis.
Attentively, Liu Wuyao asked some more about Belladesi's facial features.
"He was in his fifties, but he still had thick hair, a curly beard, and liked to wear white ......," Hurram recounted.
"Wait a minute, you're describing the image of a character, I want features, such as a broken finger, a lame leg or something."
"I only met him in a hurry last month on the estate. I didn't have time to take a closer look at him now. β
"Think about it."
After a while, he said, "I remember that he had a big black mole on his right forearm. β
Liu Wuyao thought to himself, people here are generally wearing long shirts, how can you see the moles on your forearms.
"Okay, I got it." Liu Wuyao couldn't ask and gave up.
"Kuti, if all goes well, we will be free men today." Huram's face flashed with excitement, a look like that of an inmate who was about to be released from prison.
"yes, I'll invite you to drink when I go out."
"I'm going to drink red wine."
"Actually, beer tastes better in this weather."
"Beer?" Hurram didn't know what beer was.
"When it's done, I'll give you the recipe for the beer."
"Is the beer good?" Huram asked.
"It's a different taste, no one here should have drunk it."
At seven o'clock in the morning, Liu Wuyao followed Timmy to school.
On the other side of the globe, people's eyes are focused on the TV screen, and they silently pray for blessings.
Doom Base.
Liu Tianqi: "As long as you sell the formula, take the money, and then let Belladesi redeem herself, you can jump out of the status of a slave and move on to the next plan." β
"Yes, and the opportunity is only today, tomorrow Nalan Lei and they will do it, as soon as Andra dies, the next one is Liu Wuyao, all of them must be redeemed today, otherwise it will be dangerous." Louise said.
"There is another point, when the redemption is completed, you must slip away as soon as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." The division commander added, "This has already been said to Liu Wuyao. β
Yes, it is the best policy to redeem yourself and leave this place of strife as soon as possible.
"By the way, how did Xiao Yao's anti-tracking learn?" Liu Tianqi asked.
"The chief can rest assured that it was Wang Xiaodao, who was known as a ghost scout, who taught him anti-tracking. It's just that the time is too short, and I don't know how much Liu Wuyao can absorb. "The division commander reports.
After seeing Timmy enter the class, Liu Wuyao slipped away and ran to the Hastia wine store.
Generally, the methods to determine whether there is tracking are: listening, stopping, watching, turning, returning, etc.
To listen is to listen to what special movements, what people should not say on a certain occasion, or what they do not say in line with their status.
Stopping means stopping urgently when you feel someone is following. If it were a passerby, it would leave, and if it was a stalker, it would dodge.
As for the latter points, I won't go into details.
Liu Wuyao used the method taught by Wang Xiaodao, and after confirming that no one was following, he entered the wine shop, and when the guy saw him, he led him upstairs, and at this time, Hastia on the second floor was pacing back and forth, obviously waiting very anxiously.
Before Liu Wuyao could speak, Hastia rushed out.
"Oh, my brother, you're here, and I'm afraid you've repented."
"How can it be, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."
"What gentleman? What horse? Hastia didn't understand.
Liu Wuyao reacted, knowing that he had slipped his mouth again.
"It's nothing, as the proverb of my hometown means, that a man's promise must be kept." Liu Wuyao casually nonsense.
"Oh, look, this box is Sayavis, three thousand in total, please confirm it."
There were two jars on the ground.
Liu Wuyao frowned.
"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, the money is in it, and if you put it in the wine jar, it won't attract the attention of others." Hastia lowered her voice, "When you go out, your wealth is not exposed, this is the best policy of a businessman." β
"Thank you, or thoughtful. Here's the recipe for the red wine, you see. Liu Wuyao handed over the recipe, and at the same time unveiled the wine jar himself to check.
The jar was full of gold coins, a pile of yellow cancans. Liu Wuyao reached into the jar and poured the gold coin at the bottom.
No problem, it's all gold.
At the same time, on the other side of the earth, people also saw the gold coins clearly, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Hastia takes a closer look at the red wine recipe, this is a classical recipe for making red wine, using the European barrel sauce method, there are many grape varieties on the earth, and the grape variety determines the quality of the wine, but Liu Wuyao only knows the snake bead, a wild fruit similar to grapes, so the main raw material is changed to snake beads.
Liu Wuyao briefly explained the brewing method of red wine, Hastia is a veteran, and with a little dial, he immediately realized it.
"I see, I really didn't expect such an inconspicuous snake bead to be able to make such a delicious red wine."
"In addition, if you peel off the skin of the snake beads, the brew is white snake bead wine, and the taste is also unique."
"Oh? And such a wonderful thing! Hastia sighed.
"Well, you can try it yourself, I'll go first."
"Don't you count the number of Syavis?" Hastia thought it was incredible.
Liu Wuyao thought to himself, the gold coins of these two wine jars were enough to redeem himself and find the princess, so don't waste time counting them.
"No, I believe you."
"Oh! Oh, my God! Hastia opened his mouth wide, he guessed that he had never met such a bold person in business, "Why don't you have a drink and leave?" β
"Nope."
"Seriously, your sincerity makes me a little shy, this recipe is worth far more than three thousand Serves."
"It's okay, I'll make you a friend."
"Friends? Okay, you're a friend, I'll make it. Maffel came over with the Ganlong wine, and I want to have a toast with my friend. Hastia greeted the guy and hugged Liu Wuyao politely, "Hahaha, we've been friends since then." β
Liu Wuyao saw that the other party was a lover and knew that he was not good at refusing.
After drinking a few glasses of Ganlong wine, Liu Wuyao set off. Hastia was thoughtful, and had already called a carriage for him, and moved two jars of wine with gold coins into the carriage. Liu Wuyao said goodbye to Hastia and hit the road.
Earth. Doom Base.
Liu Tianqi: "So far, everything is going well. I hope there won't be any mess in the future. β
"Chief, don't worry too much, Liu Wuyao is a clever guy." The division commander believed in Liu Wuyao.
