Chapter 9: How Can You Regret It?

Hearing Martin say this, the slave trader rolled his eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is a businessman, and he doesn't do such a thing as a ruthless person who wants to make money with his customers. If he can come up with enough benefits, he will be able to hook up with him immediately.

It seems that the adventurer in front of him had to buy those slaves for some reason, and this is a good time for him to raise prices. Businessmen don't have a hard time with money, although he was so angry that he wanted to give Martin a whip when he grabbed his arm just now. But seeing that it was profitable, he could pull out a strange thing and dial it.

"Well, I'll do the math, these slaves are strong men, and their quality is croaking. Look at the muscles!" The chubby slave dealer tapped his hand on the slave's chest, then rolled up the slave's sleeve to show off his muscles. Although, the slave who was tall and strong, and looked like a big man, was fully capable of slapping that clown-like merchant out for a long distance. But because of the difference in status between the two, he could not do so.

This is the role of power and money, after all, human society is not a naked world that speaks completely with fists, it is a society, and it has its own rules. The scene in front of him may not seem to others to feel anything, but Martin is quite touched. That is the question of what path he will take. It is a matter of personal strength and power. That is the question of whether or not to believe in the philosophy of the Superman. Although Martin himself is confident that he can overwhelm the slave trader with his own strength, the slave trader is only a small trick after all. If in the presence of a king or emperor, does Martin have the same power as this slave and cannot use it? But power has a great deal to do with his own strength...... In short, it is a simple conclusion that cannot be generalized between the two......

But Martin wasn't a ♂ philosopher ♂ after all, so he wasn't going to think about it right away. He advised the slave trader directly, "At twice the average price of a male slave in the market, I will take all of you, the slaves of the Raff." ”

Twice the price!all-inclusive!This made the slave traders' hearts flutter. Twice the price, it doesn't feel like a momentum, but he knows how much of a difference it represents. It is not often that such a good thing as turning a heel can be encountered, and the other party has to take it all in! You must know that slaves are not easy to serve, and it is common for them to lose money for various reasons. If it weren't for the special slaves like the particularly glamorous female slaves, the other slaves would generally be as quick as possible. He has not encountered all-inclusive things before, but the buyer knows his mind and always tries his best to lower the price. This time, not only was the price not lowered, but it was ......

Of course, as a seasoned businessman, he was not immediately dazzled by surprises, he slyly carried out the next step of temptation, "Ah, those slaves of the Rav clan are not only these in front of me, there are also dozens of people in my camp......

"That's not a problem, you get ready for the handover. ”

Hearing Martin say this, the slave trader's heart blossomed. There is no doubt that people who don't care about buying dozens of slaves for double the price have more money. He thought to himself that he had met Kaizi. He frowned and said, "But it seems that some of them may be ransomed, and the ransom is quite a lot, do you see if it is ......?"

Sure enough, people's greed is endless, and Martin originally wanted to spend a little more money to get things done quickly. I didn't expect the merchant to kick his nose in the face. He shook his head. He said: "Don't lie to me, those are just serfs, who will pay for ransom? Businessmen seek profit, I understand that. But have you forgotten what happened to these slaves?"

Hearing Martin say this, the merchant was stunned for a moment, could it be that Martin was using his own merits to lower the price? After all, the slave was brought back from that sewer...... Then he understood what Martin meant, that kind of thing could happen again!

Thinking of how much trouble it had caused in the first place, the merchant softened. He bowed his head to Martin and made an appointment with him to complete the handover of the slave trade. Then he left in a hurry, for fear that Martin would use his strength to lower the price again.

"The slaves' money ......," Sophia whispered next to him, pulling Lamartine's sleeve with her hand.

"Big man, no problem. Martin replied. Slaves also depend on the type. Skilled slaves, such as intellectual slaves who can act as secretaries, housekeepers, and teachers. Craftsman-type slaves who can craft high-quality weapons or fine works of art, as well as beautiful slave girls, can be sold for a rather staggering price. For them, if they buy dozens of them in one go, Martin really can't afford them. But for now he was buying just ordinary serfs. The kind of slave who was bought and sold as labor, he really had no problem buying these.

Of course, a lot of money will be spent. That's not a problem though. Because it's not the money that matters, it's Lyukrixia. Now Martin buys slaves in order to pull Sophia into the ranks. And the reason why she was pulled into the team was to find the holy object that could save Liukrisia. When doing something, you shouldn't think about how much it costs. Martin understands this.

Martin took this kind of money-sparing approach to pull Sofia into the team because he wanted to solve the problems here early and set off as soon as possible. But trouble followed.

An unusually muscular man with an angry face leading a number of heavily armed retinues blocked Martin and Sophia's path. He glanced at Sophia and said to Martin, "You're the adventurer who solved the problem." ”

Martin nodded, he guessed the other man's identity.

"According to the rules of the Northlands, this captive of yours is yours. However, you are also responsible for what she does. Before Martin could reply, the big man shouted in a menacing voice, "Three! She killed three of our brothers!"

"I'll make amends for her. In fact, I've got the blood money ready. ”

In this age of barbarism, the law is no exception. The folk custom of paying a sum of money to find out about the matter after the murder is also recognized by the law. Some countries also specify in detail how much compensation should be paid for the killing of a serf and how much compensation should be paid for the killing of a freedman. How much should a minor nobleman be compensated for being killed...... The kind of money used to buy life is called blood money.

"The three people who were killed in your mercenary group, I inquired, are mercenary-level. I'll pay for blood at three times the price I was supposed to pay. Martin said as he reached out and handed over a money bag full of gold coins. In the mercenary group, there are different classes according to the individual level. The lowest is the executioner, followed by the dart master, and then the mercenary and professional killer. These people receive different salaries, and naturally they all have their own prices when it is their turn to pay for blood. The people of the Northland are fierce, and there is a rough amount of how much money should be paid for the people in the mercenary group.

To Martin's surprise, the mercenary leader actually slapped the money bag he handed over. He shouted, "That's what you want to send us away?"

Martin withdrew his hand and looked at the other party coldly, since the other party was not good, then there was no need for him to lower his posture. "I'm here according to the rules of the Northlands, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. The sword is ruthless, they have been doing this for a long time, and there are a few lives under their hands. Now that the sword-bearer is dead by the sword, and I pay for the blood, is there anything wrong with it?"

"I can't do it with this gold alone. She did something like that, and she paid the price in total. The mercenary leader said.

"What more do you want?" Martin said, worried about his equipment.

"I want her!"

"What!"

"Relax," the mercenary leader waved his hand. "I know that if she sells it on the market, the price will be much more than that. So we don't really want you to pay her to us. ”

"And what do you want?" asked Martin. In fact, he could see from the other party's attitude that he would definitely not make an easy decision.

"It's nothing, just let her play with our whole group!" After the mercenary leader finished speaking, the people behind him let out a loud laugh.

In the face of such an insulting request, even Martin, who was not the direct target, couldn't help but touch the weapon. However, Sophia's expression was not what ordinary women like blushing would do when they encountered such a situation. Nor is it the solemnity and disdain of many paladins that are indifferently ignored. Rather, it was a very strange, very special expression that Martin couldn't understand.

"Not surprisingly, I declined such an impertinent request. Martin replied for her.

"Hmph, then you just wait, those who offend our Sea Tiger Regiment will not end well! Now you are in the town, and you are not afraid to have guards in charge, but when you go out...... Hum. ”

After leaving this threat, the mercenary leader turned and left. And most of his retinue followed him immediately. Only one person walked a step too late and threatened Martin: "It's too late to send people and money over in three days." Then he walked away.

Threatened me? Martin was a little annoyed and amused. The other party's mercenary group does have some strength. Martin's eyes can see people. Among the entourage that followed the regiment commander just now, there were indeed a few good hands. And when he took over the task from the mayor, he also inquired about the strength of the mercenary group that lost three people, which sounded pretty good.

But if you want to deal with Martin, there is still a lot of difference. If Martin is left alone to deal with this mercenary group, it will be really difficult. But count Natasha, Zali, Shirley, and the new Sophia. I'm not afraid of this mercenary group if I really fight. If the two casters of Martin and Shirley are at full firepower, they will be able to inflict heavy casualties on each other in just a few rounds. Shirley's heavy fog technique combined with Martin's thorny overgrowth was enough to turn those mercenaries into snails. And then, whether it's Shirley's wall of fire or Martin's summoning, Thunderstorm can destroy enemies like a target. In addition, monsters or animals summoned by spells such as summoning otherworldly creatures or summoning natural allies are used as cannon fodder. Zali, Natasha, and Sofia would not have a problem clearing out two or three enemies of the kittens that rushed at them. Yes, that's right, there are spellcasters in the mercenary group. But it can't be compared to Martin and Shirley at all. It would not be a problem for them to counter those who were barely able to use fireballs, not to mention that one of them was a stach spencer druid who was extremely good at fighting, and the other was a well-educated academy mage. It's not at all comparable to those wild roads.

Now Martin was more worried about something else, the question of how to get those slaves back. If Sophia was worried, she insisted that she escort the slaves home. Then Martin's efforts were in vain, although it was unlikely that Sophia would do so regardless of Martin's feelings, but after all, there had been conflicts before......

However, this problem was easily solved. After watching Martin take out the gold coins and buy the slaves, and then publicly announce that they would be freed. Sophia said to Martin, "I'm sorry, there's one thing I've been hiding from you. Actually, I also have a companion who also came over to carry out this mission. He has been disguised as a small businessman to assist me in my operations. ”

"That way, things will be easier. I'll pay for two more mercenaries. Then prepare some wooden sticks, spears, and other weapons for the freed slaves. That way, they don't have to worry much about security all the way back. ”

"Well, you don't ......," Sophia was a little surprised. Most people are a little emotional after encountering concealment.

"Although as teammates, you have to trust. But there's no need to say everything. Besides, you're new to the team, so it's no surprise that you have reservations about us. Just pay attention to it later. "Being able to keep Sofia gives Martin a good mood. Naturally, I didn't care so much.

What's more, not long ago, Martin used the lightning summoning technique to beat Sophia to a coma! If Sophia hadn't hidden something from him and believed him unconditionally immediately, Martin would have felt strange! These Sophia in turn had something to do with Martin, but it made Martin feel that the two sides were more balanced, and he didn't have to worry so much about what happened before.

"Those people's travel expenses are not a small expense. Sophia said with her head down. The cost of transporting slaves is very different from the cost of transporting ordinary passengers. "And the mercenary thing...... Causing you so much trouble, do you feel ......?"

"How can I regret it, I believe that it will be the right choice for you to join our team. ”

I'm busy doing a job. But it turned out to be messed up anyway. People want to rework. It seems that it is true that there is a specialization in the art industry, but it is not easy to do anything...... But the work I did was not done in vain, and people also had to use part of it......

Well, I also learned a lot from it, and it will also help you in the future......

That's pretty much it.

I suddenly found that there were a lot of things to do in terms of words during this time...... But because of inertia, I wasted a lot of time on the Internet...... Something to be wary of......
