0100 The shock of the merchant group
Building a city in the Black Earth Desert City is almost impossible for ordinary people to achieve, but in the Sauron Plane, many legendary heroes have tried to build a city in the Black Earth Desert City, although there are many successful cases, but without exception, they have not been able to persevere!
The reason is that because they lack important necessities such as water and food, it is naturally impossible for a city to exist forever on the black soil desert city.
Moreover, even if there are gold and silver mountains as a backup, because of the continuous spending on water and food, it is impossible to build a city with any benefits, it is worthless at all, and it is a loss-making business!
And now outside the steel city, there is a forest, what does it mean, all the merchants present have experienced......
This means that at least this part of the area is no longer bothered by food and water problems, which is very important for Louis to achieve the real conquest of the Black Earth Desert City.
Stimulated by this green forest, Caesar, a huge merchant group, hastened his pace towards the steel city.
During this period of time, the Black Earth Desert City was full of black soil full of bloody smell, and that green forest was about to become an oasis in the minds of the merchant group, nourishing their tense hearts and nourishing their weakened nerves......
When it was lunchtime, the slaves who were working in the forest carefully raised the smoke in the forest and began to gather together to eat.
"Oh my God! Look at the slaves who ate white bread instead of black bread! And potato soup!"
"Damn! In my opinion, these lowly slaves should enjoy this kind of high-end food! Isn't that better than what I eat?
"Waste! It's the greatest waste of money! Mr. Elaine should apologize to the believers of the goddess of wealth!"
One by one, the leaders of the slave traders began to condemn Louis for his generosity, and since they had entered the forest, they had been attracted by the smell of potato soup and white bread, and when they reached the place where the smoke had risen, all they saw was stimulating their already weak nerves, and each of them was red-eyed and bitter.
The poor people of the lower planes of Sauron, the food of the slaves was coarse black bread, not only did it taste hard like stones, but the black bread was mixed with a few small pebbles.
Moreover, in the opinion of the leaders of these merchants, only the rich merchants and nobles could eat white bread and potato soup made of finely ground flour, and even some down-and-out nobles would not take it upon themselves to eat the black bread that slaves should eat until they had to do so!
There are quite a few stingy leaders in these slave caravans, and some of the leaders of the small caravans even prefer to nibble on black bread every day in order to save the three or four copper coins......
Now when they saw that the slaves under Louis were munching on white bread, they immediately made their eyes red, and their jealousy was at work!
Not only the leaders of the merchant group, but also their guards began to quietly look at the white bread in the hands of the slaves with red eyes, like them, the guards basically nibbled on black bread and drank water, when they saw this scene, it naturally made them feel very unbalanced.
Aum stared at the white bread in the slave's hand, and then looked at the steel city in the distance, his eyes were full of anticipation for the future and greed for money: "It seems that I only invested in Lord Elaine, and now it's time to reap the rewards! ”
The slave traders in Rex City hardly had a good man. When they were in Rex City, they were barely law-abiding merchants, but as soon as they left Rex City, they were able to turn into the most terrible beasts, mercenary!
Every year, a lot of small caravans disappear silently, because they offend people who shouldn't be offended, and Orm was able to mix up so much in Rex City, I don't know how many slave caravans he swallowed.
"Orm, let your men be quiet, now is not the best time for us to do it......"
Basker walked out of the forest with more than 400 human warriors under his command, his brow furrowed slightly, and he scolded Orm who was a little nervous.
Orm looked at the rejuvenated, majestic, energetic, and exuding a strong aura, and when his eyes fell on the fingers of Bask's hands, his eyes suddenly shrank, and the crimson in his eyes also receded slightly, and he greeted him: "Hahaha...... I didn't expect that the great magician Elaine really has the ability to regenerate limbs!
"That's right! It was the master who gave us a new lease of life, and my more than 400 brothers and I have regained their strength in their heyday under the treatment of our master! Not long ago, there was a wolf cavalry with more than 3,000 people who came to attack us, and the master single-handedly eliminated them, if they hadn't run fast enough, they would have died in our hands long ago...... By the way, their corpses are hung on the walls of the steel city, why don't you go and enjoy them together?"
Suddenly, Basker released his aura of a seventh-order warrior, and Aum, who was suppressed by the powerful aura, was a little out of breath, and watched Aum's every move with a smile.
Those slave traders know best, the basks who used to be slaves know best, if you are strong enough, even if you don't give them any benefits, they will only turn into the most loyal dogs, and when you are not strong enough, no matter how much benefits you give, you can't stop them from wanting to annex you!
Aum's eyes shrank slightly, revealing a smile of relief, and said cheekily, "Hahaha...... Elaine Wizard is amazing!Not enough, Basco, you have to thank me, if I hadn't introduced you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been bought back so soon! Besides, when I'm here, I don't like to vent my anger on slaves like other slave traders!"
Basko and his four hundred human warriors were quite expensive goods, and Orm naturally did not treat them badly, and if they were raised with a haggard spirit and a withered face, those noble ladies would not like it.
Bashi smiled indifferently and said, "I really should thank you for that, but these things are all in one ......yard! Take your people into town! the master has been waiting for ...... for a long time."
Orm asked quietly, "By the way, do your slaves eat white bread and potato soup?"
"It's not either!"
Orm breathed a sigh of relief, if it was true that every slave had white bread to eat, then he would be willing to be a slave......
Bask continued: "Only some hard-working slaves will have white bread and potato soup to eat, and those who are lazy will have to nibble on black bread!"
The corners of Orm's mouth twitched slightly, is this any different from all the slaves eating white bread?
Anyway, he looked all the way, and these slaves were eating white bread.
The faces of the leaders of the merchant groups who gathered around were also not very good-looking, after all, in their eyes, their ordinary life was similar to that of slaves here......
The leaders of some small merchant groups are even more terrifyingly dark, they basically eat black bread every day, and only eat white bread on some major festivals, so it seems that their life is simply worse than that of slaves here!
Of course, there must be some of the leaders of the merchant group who are usually stingy.
Especially the guards of those merchant groups also turned black, and they wanted to think about whether to change jobs......
When the slaves brought over by the merchant group saw this scene, they all showed a trace of expectation for their future life.
Orm asked with some curiosity: "Isn't there a shortage of food in the steel city? If you give the slaves white bread like this, you will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
The leaders of the slave traders' groups also pricked up their ears, eager to find out the secrets of the Iron City from the mouth of the Basker, and each of them was extremely nervous, for fear that their actions would be discovered.
Baske said proudly: "The great master has purified this land with the seeds of some extraordinary plants, so that it can grow some crops, and the master has also given us a seed called bread tree, which can harvest tens of thousands of catties of breadfruit for us every year, and the land where the bread tree is planted can also grow some potatoes and sweet potatoes, from today onwards, our steel city can definitely achieve self-sufficiency!"
The leaders of the slave merchant groups all gasped, and a shock appeared in their eyes, and they were speechless......
The merchants who were originally going to transport grain over and make a lot of money were even more sad and depressed.
Orm rolled his eyes a few times, and said with a smile: "Can I buy some of those bread tree seeds? Of course, I will pay the corresponding price......
As a businessman with a keen sense of smell, Aum was able to get to this point today, mainly because of his business intuition, once the bread tree is popularized, it will undoubtedly have a huge strategic value, and it will have a great impact on the future of the entire Sauron plane!
Unfortunately, Bashi was not fooled: "I'm sorry! I'm not responsible for these things, you can just ask the owner, or Lilith......"
