And those who want to join the Acoste pioneer group need to answer the simple question, which is basically the same question, "Have you ever broken the laws of Baldur's Gate?" “

Applicants only need to answer yes or no, and Doris and Lavis each find two benches to sit on, and these two spellcasters have been hanging a lie detector on themselves, so they can tell the truth from the fake when asked.

Acoste knows the loophole of this spell, generally as long as others conceal part of the truth or vaguely can interfere with the accuracy of the spell, although the half-elf is not sure whether the low-level people who have not recognized these big characters will have such high-end language skills, but just in case, the cautious Acoste has set the answer for those poor people, let them do multiple-choice questions, so that they can not make full use of those profound wordplay.

Many people answered yes, they were arranged by Acoste to wait for the screening to be completed, of course, a small number of people failed, they were unwilling to leave in such a gloomy manner, but because the incomplete corpses of the unlucky people of a certain pirate group on the ground were still on the street, the losers weighed it again and again and gave up.

In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, whether you answer yes or no, you will not be eliminated, but if you lie smartly, then you will be sorry.

If you are an honest pauper, then you can get a piece of land to cultivate, if you have killed someone, you can also sign up to join the garrison of the new territory, you are a thief, you can be a scout, you are a profiteer, you can also be a capitalist in the territory. It doesn't matter what kind of talent you are. In Acoste's opinion, there are places where he can be used reasonably, but if this person can't even be a fundamental person, then no matter how talented he is, he will not be appreciated by the half-elves.

Of course, in fact, the most suitable people to use to open up the territory are slaves, you should not underestimate slaves, they may sound even lower than civilians, but in fact, the skills they have learned are not known to be several grades higher than those of civilians.

Those who were relegated to slavery were bankrupt merchants, prisoners of war, species of other races, or the natives of unexplored lands. They either have good minds or have skills, and they are almost strong people. To put it bluntly, slaves are no different from prisoners, but why are some prisoners still locked up in prisons or executed, but they can be sold for a good price by those slave traders? It can be seen that being a slave is not just a casual person who can be a slave, they must have their own value.

Yacoste himself really wants to get a group of slaves over, they are not more capable than these poor people, that is, they are hard-working, and the idea of obeying orders is also tamed by the slave owners, and he himself now has the economic strength to afford the high-consumption things of slaves, but the slave trade is a clear and illegal transaction in the Baldur's Gate, and he is now coming out to open up the territory in the name of the Temple of Justice, if his matter is spread out and is known by Chasim, it is estimated that he will not need to be moved by the Yanquan mercenaries, The old bishop came and taught Acoste how to behave.

The half-elves knew that there was a place near Baldur's Gate where they could legally buy slaves, but that place was far away in Luskan, above the Sea of Sword Bay, and in order to find a group of slaves to ride back and forth for more than a month, Acoste said that he had not eaten so much.

At noon, the screening here was finally over, and in the end, a total of 367 poor people were successfully hired, including 150 young and middle-aged men, 100 women, and the rest were some underage children and the elderly, and then counting their family members, there were about 700 people, this number was already very surprising, and an orthodox baron on the sparsely populated Faeron continent did not have so many lords, and these numbers could completely build a viscount's territory. Naturally, the impact of such a sensation was also proud of Acoste's willingness to drop his wealth, especially after sacking several strongholds of the shadow thieves in Askatra, Acoste now has no less gold than a viscount.

After the "job fair" ended, Acoste asked Nadoris to make a spell mark on the group of his "first leaders", and then let them disperse, go home and pack their things and gather at the city gate the next day, the reason why the half-elves let the little druid bother to do the magic mark is not because they are afraid that these people will run away, but because they are worried that some ingenious people will sneak into their team, as for the family members they want to bring have already registered the list and recorded it in a book before leaving, Acoste: They can be said to have done everything they can think of to prevent it.

After dealing with those poor people, the busy work of Acoste and his party can be said to have just begun, the half-elves rushed to the secret method shop of Baldur's Gate non-stop, bought six large space bags in one go, and distributed them to all the members of their own team, including Yuenuo and Louis, and then Acoste and Ling evenly divided the gold coins and golden tickets stored in their space bags, and the vast procurement of a group of people has only begun now.

Having enough money and recruiting people is just a part of the preparation for building the most basic level of a territory, and if you really want to do it perfectly, then it will be a lot more troublesome to consider. First of all, there are so many people at once, food, condiments and fresh water must be indispensable, if you buy food, you must buy cooking utensils and tableware for eating, and if you buy cooking tools, you will derive cleaning utensils for cleaning pots and pans, these are just part of life, such as building a territory, tools are equally important, wooden carts, cattle, axes, hammers, sickles, cement, etc. But on the day when they actually did it, they would still find that they were short of this and that, and the gold coins in their pockets were floating out like flowing water, except for the part left to the wages of the lords, and after the big purchase, Acoste himself had not much left, which gave Acoste the idea of selling the books he had looted from Candlefort, or secretly mining the rich vein they had found in the Wailing Woodland......
