Section 7 "Buying and Selling"
Section VII
Fez's thinking about the Empire's approach this time is still good, these magic apprentices can be every year
In order to get a subsidy of 100 gold coins, the subsidy of 100 gold coins can only be reached
Five-star magicians can only get (in the case of doing nothing), and as a reality
A magic apprentice with only a second-level strength can't think about it at all, a resentment from everyone
It was also dispelled a lot by this high subsidy.
In fact, only the Magic Empire would be so "stingy" as any other country
Magicians are treated twice as much as the Magic Empire, especially high-level magicians
The pay may be ten times higher.
But even then not many magicians are willing to go out, among them because of patriotism
The reason, but I'm afraid it is less than one percent, the most important thing is the environmental factor, people
Cultural environment and geographical environment.
The first is education, and the magic knowledge of the Magic Empire is completely universal for five years
Education, regardless of talent, as long as you can afford the tuition, the general low-level education is right
All countries of the continent are open to humans and higher intelligent beings.
Then there is the development of secondary education for all-friendly countries, and as for higher education
will only belong to the Magic Empire, and will not be open to the outside world, for this reason, several
Almost all high-level mages will stay in the empire for the sake of strength.
Then there's the environment, and the Magic Empire has the most comprehensive Magic Crystal Mine in the world
The magic of the country is really yĆ n room.
Most of these magic rooms are open to everyone on the entire continent, and that is the result
It's just to share with the Empire, and if the Empire thinks it's good for the Empire,
The empire will fully support it, and one qiÄ expense will be paid by the empire, and some will not be in the world
People can also have conditional access to magical materials.
It is these superior conditions that attract magicians from all countries on the continent
Magical hobbies come, and most of them will stay in this prestigious place
The population of the Magic Empire is rapidly surging, and the number of magicians is even more
Much more than the entire continent combined.
However, although the empire has the best educational environment and the most developed technology in the whole continent
Magical power, but without the heart of a strong man, the army of the empire is even more every
Worse down, if it weren't for the support of many magicians, I'm afraid it would have been four long ago
Zhou Qianglin annexed, but even so, the position of the empire was in jeopardy
"Fez, slow like a, hurry up!
There's a lot of good food over there!" Bunus ran ahead and complained, not at all
Wait for Fez's meaning, but the money is in Fez's hands, and Bunus has no choice
"Fez, you see there's a barbecue over there, you know it's delicious when you look at it, let's buy it
A little bit!"
"Fez, it's not bad to look at that sugar gourd, you can eat one too!"
ā............ā
In this way, Bunus ate and drank in front, and had no intention of stopping,
Fez had to follow behind and be responsible for paying, but luckily Bunus ate cheaply
A snack can be done with a few copper coins, so Fez has no intention of stopping it.
"Boss, what are you selling? How is it this color? "Bounou
Si walked over to a stall and looked at the stall that looked like a hill of yards
The object, the thing seemed to be a dark green round cake, and on the other side was a sponge-like lump
Although there are not many people who buy objects, as long as someone buys them, they are dozens
Dozens of dollars for purchase, so Bunus asked a little curiously.
"Young man, you know at a glance that you are a foreigner, even from the underworld
I don't know about the moss cake and the kapok candy that is abundant in the desert. "The middle-aged vendor knows
The two of them are from out of town, and they know how to arouse each other's interest.
"Moss cake and kapok, what is that, is it delicious?"
It didn't occur to the vendor that his mention of the Underworld and the desert didn't arouse the other's interest
Interesting, the other party only pays attention to whether it is delicious or not, and is speechless for a while.
"It's not a snack, it's a must-have food and water source for travelers, especially
Walking in the desert Gobi is a must-have. ā
"Why?" Bunus intrigued the vendors this time.
"Because this moss cake is made of moss unique to the ground, and it is extremely dense.
In this way, a palm-sized piece can be used for three days of food for adults, and such a piece
A piece of kapok candy the size of a fingernail can meet a person's water source for a day.
As long as you bring a small bag, a person in the desert is considered lost, a month or two
There will be no problems with food or water during the time. "The vendor is proud of the introduction
Sho.
"Is that delicious?"
The vendor was defeated by Bunus again, and could only say with a sloppy look: "Is it good."
Eating depends on personal taste, so I don't dare to say that it must be delicious, but one
The tube is full. ā
"Then I'll sing a piece!" said Bunus, picking up one without waiting for the vendor to stop him
A small palm-sized piece of moss immediately stuffed into his mouth and swallowed it in a few strokes.
"How can you do that? This is not how you eat. The merchant said anxiously,
However, he didn't feel any sense when he saw Bunus, and asked a little curiously.
"What's the matter?"
"No!" Bunus swallowed the moss, not feeling anything, but took it again
said, "It's not delicious!"
The vendor made a thunderous expression, if it was delicious, I would have introduced it a long time ago
Flying, why bother to be sloppy, but the vendor was a little curious, and the other party turned out to be sloppy
If you eat food for two or three days, you won't be strangled to death!
"Wait! Bunus said with a little surprise as he touched his stomach.
"Of course, it's okay if you eat food for three days at a time and don't die. The vendor was a little worried, but explained anyway.
"And what should I do?" asked Bunus, a little worried
Well, the key is to have a full stomach, so that you can't eat other delicious food,
So you have to go hungry.
"There's no way, now I can only wait for the moss cake to digest, if you want to feel it sooner
If you don't feel like you're going to do that, you can try to keep moving, and that's fine
To hurry, there is the feeling of bloating in your stomach before it stops, most
It's better not to drink water, otherwise I am afraid that my life will be in danger. "The vendors are trying not to make a fuss
Human life can only be patiently explained.
"It's not fun! I don't want it. Feeling bored, Bunus immediately pulled Fez
Prepare to leave.
"Boss, how do you sell these things?" Fez, apparently, was interested in them
Interesting, even Bunus couldn't pull Fez away even if he was deadlifting.
"The moss cake is four silver coins, and the kapok candy is five silver coins, and there will be no counteroffer. "The vendors are not negotiable.
"It's so expensive, we don't sell it. "Bunus heard that it was more expensive than the snacks he ate
More, pull up Fez and turn his head away, although Bunus looks silly, but
It's a brain, but he's not stupid at all, but this time he's wrong.
"Young man, you don't know, if it weren't for my connections, I got this batch of east
West, and I want to return to my capital as soon as possible, I won't buy it so low at all, otherwise you
Check out the Boers, where the moss is at least twice as expensive as mine, and
And you may not be able to buy it yet. The vendor said half-truthfully, but no
The slightest intention to stop the two from leaving.
"Okay, you bring me moss cakes for five silver coins and kapok candy for two silver coins. Fez spent all the seven silver coins he had just found.
"You know it's a connoisseur at first glance, but I still warn you that you need a piece of moss
Divide it into four times, as long as it is not wet, it can last for two or three years;
The kapok candy is soaked in water before use, and then sealed and preserved, you can keep two at a time
Three months, no spoilage and no loss. "The vendor used oiled paper to combine moss cake and wood
The marshmallows were wrapped in two separate portions and sent to Fez.
"I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself!" Bunus rejected Fez.
Fez, who was also unimpressed, stuffed the oiled paper into his arms, and then took the remaining two gold
The coin was given to Bunus, and he and Bunus were scattered and casually in the market
walked up.
However, most of the street is full of foreign items, and there are few magical items
And there are no good things yet, Fez knows that even if there are good things, he will have them
Can't afford it.
"Look, look, look, these are good slaves, look
These strong muscles are absolutely capable of heavy work, and they only charge one gold coin each, the price
Absolutely. Fez's mind was awakened by the sudden shouting.
It turned out that unconsciously, Fez had walked to the corner of the street at the same time a huge slave
The auction counter appears in Fez's view.
The word slave, which I only see in books, comes out of my own eyes
Now, the original slaves were only added to the country in those prisoners of war who were not freed
Buying and selling due to military spending.
Later it gradually developed into a kind of trading, prisoners of war, bankrupt unemployed, borrowed
The poor who could not repay the money from the usury, and the orcs or their later plunderers
The people of his country now dare to put it up for auction whenever they need it
All countries on the mainland have decreed that only prisoners of war or special criminals can be regarded as slaves.
But by now, the ban has long since been in name only, especially at the border
With it, it is even more lawless, sometimes tourists who come in the morning will come out in the evening
Now which slave auction house is waiting to be bought.
In Fez's eyes, most of the open-air auction houses are actually from various auction houses
The eliminated products that do not enter the stream are generally but low in strength, or nothing
The superior society will not buy the inferior products at all, and the lower class people will not buy them either
How much to buy, only those who are not very wealthy farmers will buy a few strong
The strong slaves went back and used them as livestock, and they were not treated as human beings at all
"There are still three slaves left, everyone hurry up and decide, otherwise there will be none. The slave owner shouted loudly, but the last three slaves, at first glance, were there
Slaves such as the old, weak, sick and disabled, two slaves who are skinny are not doing heavy work at all
The last slave was a little stronger than the other two, but in the arms
The baby he carried, it means that he bought him, it means that he bought the next person to work, but he wanted
Food for two people, so few people are willing to buy this nursery with a small one
of the slaves.
But even so, in less than ten minutes, the two scrawny slaves were also killed
bought, leaving only the last slave with the baby unsold, and
And no one cares.
"You dead slave, if you don't throw this baby away, I'll feed you to the dogs. "Slave traders threatened.
"As long as you let the young master go, I won't resist. The middle-aged slave's mouth repeatedly
It's this sentence.
The slave traders, who were already annoyed, immediately became angry when they heard the slaves' retorts
Come, stretch out your hand, and be ready to strike the slave.
But there was also a young master under the stands of the slave traders, and there was a hint of miserliness in his eyes
Pity or pity, the slave traders knew that it was time to sell through their mouths.
Although Fez looks underage, it looks like he should be dressed in terms of clothing
Belongs to the kind of young master who has a little property, but is not too rich in the family, this
Either they are arrogant and domineering, or they are full of compassion and face
The former young master obviously belonged to the latter.
"Young master, you see that our slaves are all good slaves, look at his muscles
Meat, you can do heavy work at a glance, and you will definitely be praised by your elders if you buy it back.
And this purchase we buy big and get small free, absolutely cost-effective, look at the child, one
If you look at it, you will know that you are also a strong man when you grow up, and you will make a lot of money when the time comes, "slave traders."
Zizi looked like he was gushing, as if Fez would lose a lot if he didn't buy it.
But Fez hesitated, not a question of whether to buy it, but how to place it
Question, I can't protect myself now, how can I bring two people.
But in the eyes of the slave traders, this expression is the young master who has not brought enough money,
But the feeling that I want to buy it again.
"Young master, don't hesitate, if the money is not enough, we will give you eight
How about the discount, this is the lowest price, and it is bought and sold at a loss. "Slave traders
Still boasting.
"Okay! get the contract!" Fez knew that buying a slave was actually one
It's just a piece of paper with a slave contract on it.
"Okay, young master. "The slave traders are desperate to sell this burden
I'm afraid that I won't hesitate to make a few less money.
After paying the money and taking the contract, Fez walked out of the auction hall with the middle-aged slave, brain
Haili was still thinking about how to place the two.
"What's your name?" Fez, pausing to ask, walked a bit.
"Master, just call me Anu. The middle-aged slave looked compliant.
"Anu, you don't have to call me master, you can go. Fez knows
The other party didn't tell the truth, but he didn't care, took out the contract, and held it high
The contract was instantly reduced to ashes, and Fez did this to warn the latter ones
Stalking your own little ** or a hooligan.
Sure enough, a few people in the back, seeing that Fez was a magician, knew that it was not easy to mess with
As if nothing had happened, they scattered in all directions.
"I don't have a contract now, I'm not your master anymore, you're free. Fez shoved the remaining two silver coins to the middle-aged man.
Inexplicable feelings flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged slave, but they immediately disappeared
, continued: "Master, Anu will follow you in the future, I won't bother."
Your thing. ā
"I don't have time for you, and I don't have anything for you to do. ā
Fez replied again.
"Yes, master, we will not disturb the master. Anu also refused again
Fez's opinion.
In fact, in addition to their own identities, the two slaves also have the same thing as if they leave the Philippines
Si, I'm afraid that if I can't get out of the city gate, I will be arrested as a slave again, and then I will meet it
The last good master is fine, if you meet a bad master, you have two masters and servants
But it's going to suffer, so follow this kind-hearted master, even if Fez doesn't admit it
I think he will follow Fez.
There was no way, Fes could only let the two follow him, although Fez said that he didn't care about him
But Fez ended up giving Anu half of the food he bought.
Such a strange combination appeared on the street, a nobleman or a rich man
The young master of the man led a ragged slave or a servant with a baby
, for a walk.
Along the way, Fez didn't find anything of interest, and turned around to go back.
