At the same time, the kings of Grenada were peaceful.
If this was a predatory war as before, then slaves, grain, cattle and horses would have been transported back to Grenada by the merchants who accompanied the army, but this time, the requirements of the temple were clear, they did not need slaves, they did not need food, and even gems and gold coins could be withheld as they pleased, and what Gredi wanted to see was victory and destruction. Therefore, most of the merchants of Grenada were even a little idle for a while, and could only wait for their companions to return to see if there were any more interesting and rare goods, and there were only some guys who were both warlocks and merchants, who could follow the speed of the army's movements, and ensure that they were safe and sound on the battlefield, in addition, there were also some merchants who served the inhabitants of the Seventy-Seven Islands and hired warlocks to follow them all the way, which was also helpless, although the gray robes and lichs were generous, but their pickiness and turtle hair were also second to none among all spellcasters。
Therefore, when the black-haired dragonborn slaves passed through the outer city of the royal capital in a long procession, many vultures and jackals were attracted to salivate, although the merchants who accompanied the army had already explained in advance that these slaves were the property of His Highness Cremar, and they were indivisible, although not everyone he had seen them one by one, but the numbers on the scrolls, as well as some of the more important surnames, could not be mistaken. However, although this statement dismayed the vast majority of merchants, some of them attracted the attention of the merchants who worked for the nobles, or were exceptionally beautiful (even after the invasion of hunger, wind and sand, and fatigue, their eagle-like eyes were able to pick pearls out of the sand), possessed special talents, or possessed tenacity and radiant souls, the first two of which were mostly found among young young girls and young girls, while the last one, either with pure blood and noble status, or ill-fated, or possessed profound knowledge and intelligent minds, or both, whether as sacrifices or soulsIt is the best to make soul gems, and compared to the soul of ordinary people, it is like all the difference between bread made from fine wheat flour mixed with eggs and the so-called wheat bread with coarse bran mixed with sawdust.
And among these people, except for the black-haired dragonborn, who are particularly noted on the list of slaves, they will inevitably be sold before the great profit, and few Grenadas will not be tempted, as for the difference, it doesn't matter, they can take slaves from somewhere else to replace them, or directly classify them into the ranks of death, as long as it is not too excessive, such a little trick will not attract anyone's attention.
Of course, the lich knew the inevitability of such a thing, and perhaps the soul from another plane did, but they all knew that it was one of many things they could not do, and it was no exaggeration to say that saving so many humans from the short spears of the knights of Grenada alone had exhausted most of their mental energy, and then it was up to the god of fate to take its malicious gaze away, to put it simply, the new king, and Gredi, who for the time being would not retract the pampering and indulgence that could be said to be abrupt, that even the former undead could not grasp or understand。
When Ostarr entered the circular chamber that belonged to the new king, he saw the young king of the Dragonborn sitting in one of his favorite armchairs, with the crystal clear blood wine at his hand and a delicate and ornate model in front of him.
If Adrian Smith, the designer of the other plane, was here, he would have jumped to his feet and shouted plagiarism, because the lich was too lazy to think about these things that were not very important, and of course, he also knew that he still needed to come up with something that would not be questioned, so he rummaged through the memories of the cohabitant and found the tallest building in that plane, which was called the Burj Khalifa, and strangely, it also stood by a piece of turquoise water, and around it, there were also arid wastelands and deserts, The pyramid-shaped structure, which appeared to be a combination of countless angular cubes, was 1,800 feet tall, which seemed a bit excessive even for Grenada, so the Lich limited its height to a thousand feet, and even then, the existing method of masonry belonging to mortals could not build such a tall building, so it required a lot of magic.
However, there was a lot of time to come, as the lich had submitted a document (also from another plane) claiming that the building would span the time it would take for a mortal to go from birth to death, that is, a hundred years or more, but what made Gredy approve was that the tower would be the tallest in the plane, taller than any god's temple or sanctuary, and that at the top of the spire, you could look down on the entire vast peninsula and the Seventy-Seven Islands at the end of the water. And the Mithril covered inside the tower, and the obsidian covered outside the tower can shock all the humans or non-humans who see him, not to mention the towers that surround the towers, just look at those small, like crystal stone towering models, you can imagine what a huge and gorgeous city it will be in the future, the greed of the dragon, Vanity and ambition were at their best in the tower, and even Gredi had a slight suspicion, but in the end her curiosity and desire for the building made her decide not to interfere, if, she said, if all went well, the city would be completed before and after the city would be the moment when she had fulfilled her long-cherished wish, so that the magnificent building would be the brightest jewel in her crown. 【】
Ah, although this scene is still far from the people, especially for the mortals who have become slaves, when they are escorted to the place where there is sea water except for gravel, it is completely at a loss, it is the wise men in the crowd who have been lucky enough to be kept by the black-haired dragonborn who take the scrolls and begin to familiarize themselves with the situation here, first of all, the water, the food, they have trekked all the way here, and the food they get every day can only be said to make sure that they can walk on their own, as for the clear water, it depends on whether the team is lucky enough to stop by the river, otherwise they will have to let themselves dry up, and then they have to look for a place where they can live temporarilyThe Grenadas who watched as long as they did not run away and did not slack off on their feet were the Grenadas who were too forgiving, in fact the squires also thought so, but they also didn't want to manage them。
The strange appearance of the beasts caused some waves among the slaves, and at first they were a little cringe, and there was a little pity, but just a few days later, the heaviest test came, and some escaped.
"Hand them over to one of Grenada's squires. To their astonishment, the pastor who had their trust and respect for Adel had said so.
"But they'll be killed!"
"It's their choice," Adair said, "and we've warned them, and the fact that they're still doing it shows that they're just as willing to accept the consequences." He was silent for a moment: "If we do nothing about these hundred people, then what should the others do?Although the resources of slaves on the black market in Grenada are not scarce, it is only a matter of time before they dry up, the legion did not plunder the slaves, but it was the will of the temple to kill all the people, the merchants could not complain, but if they found evidence that we could not control these people at all, what do you think they would do?" he lowered his eyes, Even if we let go of our hands and let them go, they will never be able to go a thousand feet beyond the royal capital, whether it is the dragon's fangs, or the dragon's claws, or the dragon's thorns, they still defend this place, and those vassals who have not gone out with the legions, have lost this opportunity to plunder, they are already hungry, and there have been several riots even in the outer cities, do you think they will be lenient and merciful enough to allow a slave who can be exchanged for gold to escape from under their horses' hooves?"
"Tell the elders of the slaves," said the priest grimly, " Tell them that the Grenada have a law of ten laws, that is, if one slave escapes, then their master will randomly select ten slaves to be brutally tortured in front of the others to deter and punish them, this time no one will be able to escape, it is their luck, but then it may not be, let them look at each other, I don't want to see senseless sacrifices Since they have not escaped the yoke of the Grenadians in their homeland, then it is the same here, and any expectation is unrealistic. ”
"There are always some interesting people around my youngest son. The new king of Greanda said, "I even regret it a little if he stays with me......"
Then he wouldn't have met so many interesting people. Ostal said.
The new king laughed, he was one of the few people who would still feel gloomy and uneasy even when he laughed, and his countenance, though beautiful, was still reminiscent of those flamboyant but evil poisonous insects or snakes, and he stood up and put his hands on the spire of the model, which was a pure and immaculate stone, beautifully cut, and as bright and brilliant as the crystallization of sunlight in the dim light, and here, at the time of the building's construction, was a stargazing room, and according to his black-haired descendants, its walls and top were to be made of large sheets of glass, and to be retractable as desired, after the glass had fallenThis is a platform for the dragon, the red dragon Gredi, to rest.
"What do you think ......?"
"What?"
"What is my Kremar thinking? Is he really trying to build a tower of his own with so many slaves?" or is it ......" the new king winked at Ostal "Or is the other half of his blood influencing his mind?"
It's a difficult question to answer: "I think his purpose is still very simple," Ostal slyly dodged it: "If it were me, I would also choose to find a place to build his own fortress, he has been away from Grenada for too long, there is no place for him here, he has to find another way, and it is possible that he has a little bit of ...... Kindness," he gently flexed his fingers, minimizing the gap between his index finger and thumb, "but perhaps it was just to gain the hearts of those humans, after all, he simply couldn't get soldiers and knights loyal to him from Grenada. ”
The new king smiled tolerantly, "A child's thoughts," he said, "do you think that an ordinary human can compete with the knights and warlocks of Grenada?" and the cat's ears and birds.
"Of course not," said Ostahl, "but he has to get his hands on what he can get." ”
"I thought a lot of people in the Dragon's Tooth Legion owe...... He's so naughty about his mount's debt, isn't he?" the new king casually pushed the spire, "Do you know what that herb is?"
"All I know is that it can drive the griffinx crazy. Ostal bowed and apologized, the job was not done perfectly: "And it was not traded from the devil, but from the devil, and it may be the latest succubus summoned by His Highness Cremar." ”
"It seems that she is indeed not an ordinary succubus. The new king said, curling his lips, for he had pulled the spire of the solid stone tower, and was now busy putting it back in it.
"Absolutely not, after all, the gray robe also retreated in front of her. ”
"Which king or lord is she?"
"I don't know," Ostal said, "her name ......"
"Needless to say," the new king sighed, inserting the spire into the original platform and waiting for Cremar to come back and repair it, he should be able to come back, "If the demon's real name can be known, it won't have to be so troublesome. ”
"A hundred sorry," Ostal said, "one more thing. ”
"Say it. ”
"That is the one," said Ostal, "the one you and I know of the grey robe." ”
"What's wrong with him? Didn't kill Kyles because she owed him a fee, did you?"
"Maybe he really wanted to do something," Ostar said, "but obviously not Kels." (To be continued.) )
