Chapter 726. doubt
He Dong himself didn't expect that everything would become so smooth, and when he took He Da and them into the courtyard again, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is our new home in the future, He Da, He Er, you go and gather all the slaves in the courtyard." He San, you go and get a new plaque, replace the plaque at the door, and write the word He Fu on the plaque. He Si, you go to the restaurant where we ate just now, and ask them to bring me ten tables of good wine and food in the evening, we can also be regarded as a housewarming, and we should celebrate. ”
He Dong stood in the courtyard and immediately issued an order to He Da and them, as for the three elves, He Dong did not arrange the task, after all, the three elves were just children, and He Dong had not yet used the habit of child labor.
However, He Dong did not arrange a task for the three elves, and the three elves seemed to have been wronged, and their beautiful eyes immediately became moist.
"Didn't the host like us? Or think we're a burden? "He Qi was the only woman among the seven slaves, and at the same time the youngest, she looked like she was seven or eight years old.
"Who said you were a burden, I was about to give you a task." He Dong himself owns a private school that specializes in taking in orphans from all over the world, and he also has a few little apprentices, so he can know the thoughts of these three elves at a glance.
"Ahh Great, please host to arrange a task for us! He Wu, He Liu, and He Qi suddenly said in surprise.
"You're going to be my little guy from today onwards, and you're responsible for taking care of me, so my first task for you is to sort out my room!" He Dong said with a smile.
"Yes!" I got the task. The three elves immediately ran away with joy.
Not for a while. He Da and He Er called all the slaves over. He Dong counted sixty-two people, of which forty were female slaves, and of the remaining twenty-two people, twelve were ordinary slaves, and ten were guards.
Most of these slaves belonged to the four major races, and only two of them were of other races, and one was known to Ho Dong. It is from the dwarf race, and the other one is also very short, very ugly, and his skin is grayish-brown, He Dong thought about it a little, and knew that this was a goblin.
"From today onwards I will be your master, and you will all be able to say your name now." Looking at these slaves in front of him, He Dong couldn't help but miss Uncle Li, if Uncle Li was here, he wouldn't need to worry about these things at all. And when he thought of the housekeeper, He Dong suddenly had an idea. Then he blurted out more and asked, "Is the housekeeper here still there?" ”
"Master, the original supervisor is the younger brother of the original master, and I am his deputy!" Soon a female elf suddenly stood up and said respectfully to He Dong.
"Oh? You're the original butler's deputy, so you must know a lot about the situation here, right? When He Dong heard the words of this female elf, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Yes! I know a lot about what it's like here! "As He Dong's efforts, they will not lie to He Dong.
"Great, in that case, I'm starting to accept my fate now...... By the way, what's your name? Forget it, don't care about your previous name, you're called He Mei now. He Dong asked suddenly.
"Thank you, master, for the name!" The female elf didn't expect He Dong to give her name directly, which suddenly made her face show an ecstatic expression.
"I now appoint He Mei as the chief steward of He Mansion, and He San, He and He four deputy stewards, to manage everything in He Mansion. He Da and He Er are the main and deputy captains of the escort team of He Mansion, we only have ten guards now, which is a bit small, and I will buy a few more powerful slaves in a few days to fill the escort team! He Dong directly arranged the work quickly, and in an instant, he changed again and became the new shopkeeper.
"Thank you, host!" He Dong became the shopkeeper, but the people below were excited, especially He Mei and He Da, because although they are still slaves now, they are also officials.
"By the way, which of you knows how to do business?" After He Dong finished the affairs of the house, he suddenly thought that he was also going to open a bar here, and it was very hard work to build a new shop, so He Dong decided to assign all these jobs.
Among the more than sixty people, it is impossible to find very elite talents, but because He Dong is remotely commanding behind him, He Dong's requirements for selecting people are not high, as long as he is shrewd and his understanding ability is not bad, so he soon selected a male Yaksha, named He Ba by He Dong, in charge of external liaison with the bar, purchasing or something.
In addition, because of the handsomeness of the elves, He Dong also selected three female elves, named He Lan, He Zhu, and He Ju, who will be responsible for the decoration of the drinking bar, the training of personnel and everything else. And when the bar opened, the three of them were the three managers of one and two pairs. In this way, He Dong's team in Lanka City is almost ready.
However, He Dong will not be satisfied with this manpower, he is ready to do a big job in Lanka City, so his eyes are directly aimed at the slave market here. But now the slaves on the market are not only expensive, but also of poor quality. But when he bought the slaves, the slave dealer promised that a large number of slaves would come in three days, so he was not in a hurry to buy them now.
And in the past three days, he is going to investigate the situation of the demon clan first, after all, this is directly related to his next plan. So, early the next morning, he took the three elves out into the street.
"Give me four bunches of fruit!" Although this is not the first time He Dong has walked on the streets of Lanka City, it is definitely the first time to be so leisurely, and even when He Dong saw a vendor selling similar Chinese sugar gourds, he also bought four strings with great interest, of which he ate one string himself, and divided it among the three elves.
"Thank you, host!" The three elves were all children after all, and they were all very happy when they received the bunch of fruits given to them by He Dong.
"Is it delicious?" This kind of string of fruits is indeed very similar to He Dong Huaxia's sugar gourd, but because of the special nature of this fruit, it still makes He Dong feel very fresh.
"Yes! Delicious! The three elves ate happily, and their pretty little faces were full of smiles.
"Little Wu, go and ask me, where do the demons live? We've been around for a long time, why haven't we seen a single demon clan, doesn't it mean that there are tens of thousands of demons in this Lanka City? He Dong took the three elves around the street for a long time, and suddenly he became a little impatient.
"Yes!" He Wu immediately ran out quickly, and in less than ten minutes, he ran back out of breath.
"How? Got it clear? He Dong asked urgently.
"Ask clearly, there are indeed tens of thousands of demons in Lanka City. However, most of the demons live on the edge of the West City! Only a handful live in the slums of the East Side! He Wu told what he had inquired about.
"On the edge of the West City? Isn't that close to the mine? It's where the miners live! "You don't need to ask about the slums in Dongcheng, they are all places where poor people live, and He Dong also knows a little about the situation on the edge of Xicheng.
The Rakshasa world also has four seasons, and there are spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the winter here is exceptionally cold, so it is also necessary to make a fire here for heating, and the heating is also an ore similar to coal, and the Rakshasa boundary tube This ore is called wood and stone.
Lanka City is built in the middle of two mountains, two of which are east and west, and there is a very rich wood and stone mine on the west mountain, so for the convenience of mining, a mining area has been formed in Xicheng, especially on the edge of Xicheng, and almost all the races that make a living from mining have settled there.
And the mining technology of the Rakshasa world is definitely the most primitive kind, that is, it relies on one pair of hands to excavate, and because of technical reasons, accidents such as landslides and water ingress are absolutely frequent, so mining in the Rakshasa world is definitely the lowest job.
"Could it be that the demons have fallen to this extent? Doesn't that seem like it should be? Or maybe it's that there seems to be equality here, but in fact, various races continue to suppress the demons. "Living in a slum and doing the lowest job, He Dong doesn't know why when he thinks of this, he is in a very low mood.
But soon He Dong shook his head, put aside some negative emotions, and thought to himself, it is estimated that it is precisely because of the forbearance of these demon races that they can survive in this world, otherwise they would have been exterminated by the rest of the races long ago.
"Anyway, I'm going to have to go over and have a look!" He Dong thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go over and take a look, after all, whether it was those miraculously identical legends, or for the sake of Li Shan's face, He Dong couldn't let those demons go.
In addition, he also needs to use these demons to implement his plan, so no matter what, he has to go over and take a look and investigate the specific situation on the spot.
The slum where He Dong went first, He Dong knew that the people who lived here were those poor people, but He Dong couldn't figure it out, how could there be so many poor people in this Rakshasa world, especially if it was Lanka City?
You must know that this is not only a huge trade market, but also very close to the 100,000 mountains, as long as you have some strength, you can completely enter the 100,000 mountains to hunt the monsters inside, high-level monsters can't hunt, you can kill low-level ones.
Although the magic crystals below the third level are not valuable, the skin and flesh of some magical beasts can still be sold for money. If you can't kill the low-level ones, you can still collect medicine and mine.
Of course, this mine is not a low-grade wood stone, but an ore that can be used to craft weapons and armor. Such ores are worth a lot of money, so He Dong feels that as long as he pays a little hard, his life should not be so depressed.
However, when He Dong really saw those demons, he was completely stunned. (To be continued......)
