(I've been sent on a business trip to other cities these days, so the update has been delayed!) ）

In the slave market, there is a saying that no one can be sold, including the boss and the proprietress as long as they can afford the "price", because all people are slaves to money.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, William felt that this sentence made a lot of sense.

Of course, William was only here to buy a group of laborers who were initially developed in the territory, and he was not interested in the boss or the proprietress of the slave market.

With this amount of money, it is better to buy a big man who can work.

The new king, Liszt, gave William 1,200 gold coins, and William spent 300 gold coins to buy 523 ordinary slaves, of which 355 were members of the family unit, and the rest were single slaves.

One hundred and fifty gold coins were used to buy slaves with a skill, such as a blacksmith, a tailor, a herbalist, and so on, for a total of sixty-four.

Although William, as a wizard, doesn't care much about these mundane things of money, but with the comparison, he still thinks it's a bit expensive! This is how William felt when he paid for it.

By the way, William also spent thirty gold coins to buy a middle-aged scholar with profound knowledge and excellent communication skills.

Because he was suspected of reading the knowledge of "evil gods and false gods", he was actually framed, and as a result, the clergy of the Bishop of Light came directly to the door and raided his home, and in the end he did not find other forbidden knowledge, plus for such and such reasons, he was demoted to a slave, and the property did not know which jackals fell into the stomach.

Because of the Holy Light's Holy See, no one has dared to buy him for a long time.

It wasn't until William came over and found him in the slave market as clean as he could be - Louis Houston.

The eyes of the middle-aged scholar Louis are clear, but William sees a suppressed volcano in it.

For the Holy See of Light, maybe he has other thoughts in his heart.

William tested him a few more questions, and Louis answered them all fluently.

This made William very satisfied, this is exactly the talent he was looking for, so William spent a lot of money to buy him.

And he also expressed his loyalty to William at the first time.

William smiled, huh, mortal loyalty?

But having someone to work on is different, and he can take William out of the oralities.

Louis did not disappoint William, he was well acquainted with the situation in the capital of the Svak Kingdom, and spent six hundred gold coins to purchase grain of equal value.

Two hundred gold coins were spent on the purchase of flax and other supplies, and a few horse-drawn wagons were bought for loading.

And this, it cost 1,000 taels and 80 gold coins.

The new king Liszt rewarded William with only 1,200 gold coins, and William overspended.

Fortunately, William's blue plaid apron also always has some gold coins for use when wandering on the mainland, otherwise it will really be beyond his means.

Although not local gold coins, Luis has some hidden channels to exchange these gold coins for Swak Kingdom's Scork Gold Coins, which can be exchanged at a ratio of 1 to 0.8.

That alone was worth William's thirty gold coins to buy it back.

What's more, Louis only carried out William's orders, never asking why!

And never mouthful.

This is the sense of precaution that Louis developed after he was framed.

It is also one point that William is particularly pleased with.

After all, he has too many secrets, and if he has to make up a reason for every thing he does, then William will be very tired.

What did you spend so much gold to buy Louis for?

This kind of "discursive" problem should be left to him to deal with.

Judging from the current situation, he still handled it very well.

At the very least, the exchange of gold coins in the black market of the royal capital has never been found on William.

By the way, Louis also helped William pick a reputable mercenary team, the Rose and Gun Mercenary Group, to escort William's team to his territory.

This cost another hundred gold coins.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although there was Louis as an assistant running around, the time spent back and forth added up to more than a month.

In the hottest month, William left the royal capital with the middle-aged scholar Louis and a group of slaves he bought, escorted by fifty-two mercenaries of the "Rose and Spear Mercenary Group", and went to his own fiefdom.

The travel of six or seven hundred people is never an easy thing.

It took more than twenty days to pass through most of the land of the Swak Kingdom before arriving at the destination, Hanlailing.

Hanley's Domain—a lord's territory sandwiched between the realms of the new king's two brothers—was the name given to his new realm by William when Liszt asked him, and it had been registered.

Except for eighteen frail slaves, who could not bear the hardships of the day and died, the rest of the slaves arrived safely.

This is a statistic that shocked the new butler Louis, who had been ready to die a fifth, or even a third, or even exaggerated, a half.

Because in this day and age, long-distance travel is never easy.

Just the robbers you met on the road were enough to choke.

Not to mention, with so many people, it may attract fierce beasts and poisonous snakes at any time, causing non-combat attrition.

As for the extortion of other nobles along the way, let's not talk about it.

All kinds of worries, Louis told William.

And William didn't say anything, just told Louis to be ready and set off.

As a result, the journey has been peaceful.

The robbers had never encountered them, and the beasts and vipers were nowhere to be seen.

It's just that the nobles along the way are a little troublesome, but it's not a big problem.

All in all, it is easy to get to the Hanlai Territory, just like taking a casual walk in the aristocratic district of the royal capital.

This wasn't what Louis said, it was Yaku, the head of the mercenary group hired by Louis.

On this trip, his mercenary group easily obtained a hundred gold coins without going through a single battle.

For him, this money is really good to make!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

William's Hanley, a lord's domain, has an area of 12,4 square kilometers after the Magic Mirror test, and indeed has the area of 3 standard knights.

Liszt did not deceive William on this point.

There's just a little bit of a problem.

It is this territory where there is only desolate land, but there is no one.

There were two villages in the territory, one abandoned and the other burned.

Looking at the scorched marks, the village has not been burned for long.

It didn't take long for the Magic Mirror to detect the perpetrator of the crime, Prince Charles of the next territory.

When he heard the news of William's canonization, he forcibly moved all the people in William's domain into his territory before William's army arrived, and burned down the village by fire.

This is a desperate plan, and it cannot be said that it is not poisonous.
