Chapter 39 Special Agreements
Temple of the Sea.
Soon after Sauron left, the figure of the noble woman appeared at the beginning, and she looked up at the Naga priest in front of her, who was not very good-looking, and then said, "Is that him?" β
The Naga priestess's face was still a little ugly, because she found that Sauron was like a slippery loach, no matter how much she tried to woo him, it seemed to be a little bit worse, and sometimes he even felt like a fist in the air, but it shook her internal organs faintly uncomfortable. She glanced lightly at the charming aristocratic woman in front of her, and said slowly, "Not necessarily. This human being is too cunning. Unless he gets completely close to us, you're just a decoy in front of him. β
"We've spent too many resources on you, and if it weren't for our help, your father's territory would have been annexed by others long ago."
"And."
"Watch your virginity, I find that this seems to be very tempting to human males, and you can't get too close to any male creature until you've decided on someone who is truly valuable to us. Your mission now is to continue to expand your influence and provoke a war between the nobles of the South Coast if necessary! Only war can break the inherent blockade of power, and let's infiltrate the influence within humanity! β
The aristocratic woman's face was slightly stiff, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes, but she still nodded in yield: "Yes." β
No matter what woman is, if she is used as a bargaining chip, there will definitely be a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart. However, it seems that her awe of the Ocean Temple is obvious, and she should have accused her of a lot of things about the Ocean Temple, so she had to bow her head in submission under such obviously humiliating words. No one knows what deal Sauron made with the Naga priest in the end, but judging by the Naga priest's face now, she doesn't seem to have much of the upper hand.
This couldn't help but make her look up to Sauron as well, and it also took confidence and strength to be able to play tricks with the Ocean Temple.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sauron left the Temple of the Sea.
His face wasn't very good-looking, and his expression was blue from the moment he left the temple. He turned around and came to the vicinity of the harbor, then waved over a pirate and said in a deep voice, "Let Adele come and see me." β
Soon.
A red-haired female pirate in tight leather armor appeared in front of Sauron's eyes, she cautiously glanced at Sauron's face, and then said, "Your Excellency? What are the commands? β
Sauron glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "From today onwards, fifty percent of the proceeds of the Port Taylor route will be handed over to the Ocean Temple, and you will personally control the smuggling trade of the line in the Shipwreck Bay, and you must ensure that no one else can get their hands on this route." From now on, whether it is official or private, as long as it crosses the sea, we must grasp it in our hands. Anyone who wants to make money from the slave trade. It's all with our consent! β
Slave trade.
This is the bulk of the trade on the south coast, as there are many mines on the land near this coast, which require a lot of labor to mine. It was basically impossible to hire civilians, and everyone knew that the mines were the most important place to go and never return, so the labor force could only find a way out of the criminals and slaves. Coupled with the fact that the aristocracy of the region had a large number of manor economies, slaves were the cheapest labor force in every sense of the word.
Slaves are a common existential problem.
Even the gods could not change the status quo, and even slavery was supported and affirmed by many gods.
Even the memories of Sauron's past life, the abolition of slavery has been delayed into modern history, and it has been entrenched in this world for countless years. It has almost reached the point where it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The vast majority of ordinary people would aspire to own a piece of manor land, and then buy and own a part of the slaves, and live a life where the slaves are responsible for farming and laboring, and they themselves live a leisurely life. If not, there are many kind people. And some churches are quite disgusted with slavery, and I am afraid that it will become very widespread in the southern region as well.
"Yes. Excellency. β
Adele, who had long fiery red hair, nodded and replied, "I'll arrange for manpower now." β
Sauron looked at her silently, then spoke, "Do you recognize a woman named Monica?" She also has Isabella's last name just like you. and was the only daughter of an earl. β
The red-haired female pirate was puzzled for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency." Isabella's surname is found in both the southern and western regions. She may be related to my mother, but I don't know them because of her background. Mother seems to have a cousin on the South Coast. It seems to have the title of earl, but his family has long since declined. If she was the only daughter of the Earl, she would have been her mother's cousin, and there would have been so many of them with Isabella's surname near the South Coast. β
Decline aristocracy?
It's a great investment and it's easy to manage.
Sauron nodded lightly and said, "Go ahead." Your focus is on the slave trade, and you must make sure that this line is in our hands. β
Adele bowed slightly, hesitated, and said, "Your Excellency...... Do you value the slave trade so much, are you planning to use slaves to expand overseas? β¦β¦ I'm not questioning your decision, I'm just curious to guess! β¦β¦β
At the end, there was a hint of awe on her face.
Sauron's expression was slightly surprised, but he didn't have the idea of answering, just said in a deep voice, "Do your own thing." You'll know when the time comes. β
Slaves are the cheapest labor force and the easiest group of people to satisfy.
They have been driven to despair by life, and if they are given a little hope, a little right to live, a little desire for freedom, they will become a very useful card. Sauron needs not only their labor, but also them as a foundation, the transfer of overseas population is a difficult thing, the continent is not completely chaotic now, it is too risky to attract pioneer adventurers, and slaves are a very key part of Sauron's plan.
Sauron walked in the direction where he lived.
Adele-Isabella stayed where she was, looking intently in the direction Sauron had left, and the more she got to know each other, the more she felt that the Lord had a great plan, because he had given up a large part of the pirate's interests. People who are able to give up so many benefits must be for something more valuable.
What exactly does this man want?
She was faintly excited, with a desire to learn about his plans.
It's a pity that she can only hide it deep in her mind.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sauron returned to his lodgings.
As soon as he walked into the room, he saw a petite figure pounce on him, and then hung directly on him, Vivian hugged his neck and twisted around, and said crisply: "Brother is finally back!" I'm bored to death alone! β¦β¦β
Sauron smiled and picked her up, then placed her on the edge of the bed.
Then he sat down and said with a somewhat stern expression, "Vivien? How have you been? Is there anything uncomfortable? Why did you call yourself Lillian, the Dreadwitch last time? β
The little girl's whole body was obviously stiff, and then her eyes flickered a little, and then she whispered, "I...... Pretty good! β¦β¦ But I remember a lot! β¦β¦ Among them is the knowledge of that Lilian! β¦β¦ Then I learned a lot of spells and became more powerful than before! β¦β¦β
"Hmm! β¦β¦ Will my brother dislike Vivien because of this? β¦β¦β
Speaking of this, the little girl's expression suddenly looked a little pitiful.
Sauron looked a little distressed, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and then said, "Silly girl! β¦β¦ I will always be by your side! β¦β¦β
Is that really the case?
Sauron's heart chuckled, and he secretly guessed, "If Sauron hadn't come with himself, and Sauron had died like this, Vivien would have become Lillian?" β
"I hope there won't be any hidden dangers left for her!"
"No way!"
"I must find a way to kill the other Dread God Sons, and then completely wipe out the consciousness of the Dread Demon God! Otherwise, as long as his consciousness still exists, this is an invisible hidden danger, and he may be affected when he fights against the consciousness of the Dread Demon God, and Vivien will be even more able to fight against the Dread Demon God's consciousness. β
Sauron seemed to be thinking about something.
The little girl's expression was a little unnatural, but she still sat next to her very well-behaved.
Come over for a while.
As if remembering something, Sauron said in a deep voice, "Vivien! My brother has a way to help you check your body, it may be a little uncomfortable, would you like to try it? β
The little girl had some confusion on her face, but she nodded very obediently.
Sauron smiled.
Then a fine light appeared in his eyes, which seemed to make Vivien feel a little uncomfortable, as if his whole body was exposed to his brother's sight, faintly repulsive and a little shy.
A row of numbers jΓΉ emerges:
"Do you want to do a digital scan of the target?! β¦β¦β
"Attention!"
"The target is very powerful! β¦β¦ Hostility is possible! β¦β¦ The number of jΓΉ scans costs 16,000 points of Kill XP! β¦β¦β
"Do you want to scan it?! β¦β¦β
How do you need to consume so much killing experience?
Although Sauron's heart ached a little, after looking at the nearly seventy thousand points of killing experience he had accumulated, he still silently chose to be sure. He needed to know how far Vivien had been strengthened, and he needed to know if Vivien had been affected by the will of the Dreaded Demon God. Killing experience can be earned later, and Vivien's safety is even more important in Sauron's eyes.
