Thousand Sails City at the end of June is the hottest time of the year.

Bailey disembarked from the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce's ship, politely declined the invitation of his fellow Reverend Barov, and turned into the alleys of the slums.

"Hey, isn't this little Bailey?" In the stronghold of the Raven Guild, the Black Lotus crossed her feet, revealing a pair of white and tender long legs. "Did that kid Griffith fire you? Do you want to join the Raven Guild? Sister, I can be your guide. ”

"Lord Black Lotus, don't be kidding. Bailey made a straight face, took out a few scroll boxes from the inner lining of his clothes, and put them on the round table in front of Black Lotus: "This is the goods that Master Griffith asked me to send you, 100 scrolls for level 1 and 30 scrolls for level 2. ”

"Level 2 scroll?" Black Lotus nonchalantly opened the sandalwood scroll box with the number 2 engraved on the lid with her slender fingers.

"Mirroring, invisibility, spider webs...... And the brute strength of a cow and the grace of a cat! It seems that Griffith has a good grasp of level 2 magic, and it is not impossible to catch up with Kyle Osborn in time. Even Black Lotus couldn't help but feel a little moved on her face.

The information about Griffith's promotion to level 2 had been confirmed by the Raven Guild a month ago. What really surprised Black Lotus was that in just two or three months, Griffith was able to transcribe so many different kinds of level 2 scrolls so quickly.

Before a mage can transcribe a scroll, he must be extremely familiar with the magic of copying, and the types of scrolls in front of him alone are enough to prove that Griffith has mastered most of the most commonly used level 2 magic. This also means that, as long as the magic is enough, Griffith can always try to learn level 3 magic.

It seems that Griffith's evaluation is going to be raised by another level. Black Lotus secretly calculated in her heart.

"Level 1 scrolls are 10 gold dragons per according to the old rules, and the market price of level 2 scrolls is about 40 gold dragons, considering that your scrolls are more practical, the purchase price can be counted as 35 gold dragons, a total of 2050 gold dragons. Fraction counts my sister's commission, 2000 gold dragon, do you want to take it away now?"

What are you kidding, 2,000 gold dragons weigh dozens of pounds! Bailey secretly slandered in his heart, carrying such a large bag of gold coins through the streets and alleys of the slums, it is not much different from looking for death.

"Don't bother, Master Griffith has instructed me to order a batch of slaves from the Raven Guild, 100 for young men and 50 for boys and 50 for girls aged seven and ten. In addition, we also need skilled craftsmen, it doesn't matter how old we are, but we have real skills, and we have as many as we want within twenty. ”

The slave trade was a grey area in the Kingdom of Brittany, and although it was not explicitly prohibited, it was not well received. In Thousand Sails City, organizations that want to show face, such as Ms. Charlotte's Obsidian Chamber of Commerce, can't guarantee that they won't get involved in human trafficking at all, but they certainly won't do it openly.

Considering the strong demand for population in Hydra Village, the Raven Guild, as the largest underworld force in Thousand Sails City, is almost Griffith's only choice.

"That's a lot!" Black Lotus covered her mouth, she didn't know about Griffith's deal with the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce about the salt-drying technology, she only thought that the Carolingian family had blackmailed her sworn enemy. "It seems that your master has really made a fortune, and I guess Sir Kyle's ransom has caused the Osborne family to bleed a lot. But in this case, 2000 Golden Dragon is far from enough. ”

The price of a healthy adult male ** is about 100 gold dragons, and women of childbearing age are a little cheaper, 80 gold dragons. As for children, although it takes a few years to come in handy, many organizations and wealthy families like to train all kinds of servants and thugs from an early age, so the demand has always been very strong, and children who are generally not too stupid or have disabilities can at least be sold for more than 40 gold dragons.

As for the craftsmen, depending on their profession, the price varies greatly, but at least it will not be less than 200 gold dragons. Griffith's order, which adds up to a transaction of more than 25,000 gold dragons, is a rare big business even in the eyes of Black Lotus.

"Don't worry, eldest sister. Even though Bailey himself was a little drumming in his heart, he still faithfully followed Griffith's instructions and understood a little bit: "Master Griffith is already hitting level 3, and I believe that it will succeed in half a year." ”

In fact, within a few days of Bailey's departure from Hydra Village, Griffith had successfully mastered the fireball technique.

In this world where force is respected, strength is credit. A promising magician who is good at transcribing scrolls, even if he doesn't have any collateral, he can borrow twenty or thirty thousand gold dragons from the Raven Guild just by brushing his face, not to mention that Griffith still has a territory, which can be described as "a priest can't run the temple".

Bailey's words are very reasonable, and Black Lotus naturally will not refute: "Griffith's face, as well as Bailey's little brother, your credit, I can naturally trust it." ”

It is worth mentioning that according to the practice of the Raven Guild, Black Lotus, as the person handling this transaction, can receive at least 10% of the profit as a commission, which means that more than 500 cute golden dragons are about to enter the bag of the female thief.

"In this case, the 2,000 gold dragon in the account is considered a deposit, I don't know when Griffith will deliver the goods?"

With 300 slaves and more than 10 craftsmen, even if the Crow Guild's inventory in the entire Thousand Sails City is looted, it is far from enough, and it is impossible to go to the slave markets in the cities on the south bank of the Falling Star Sea to make purchases. Even with the energy of the Raven Guild, it is difficult to accomplish without two or three months.

"Half of it will be within three months, and the rest will be sent to Hydra village by next year, and you will give money to one if you come. "Because when Bailey set off, Griffith had not yet discovered the gem mine in the kobold's lair, so the requirements for delivery time were relatively relaxed, so as not to have no capital turnover and a bad face when he got it.

Delivered to the door by the Ravens' Guild, as Griffith had repeatedly advised. While the slave trade was not illegal in Brittany, it was not uncommon for righteous men to organize groups to attack slave ships.

Griffith had no guilt for using slaves, and as a soul from the civilized world, he had the confidence to give these poor people a better life. But if you get into trouble with those annoying justice organizations, it will be too much to gain and lose.

Half an hour later, when Bailey was satisfied with leaving the stronghold of the Raven Guild, Black Lotus turned her face to the shadow behind her and whispered, "Tell the people of the Osborne family about Bailey's visit, it can be regarded as selling them a favor." ”

"Lord Black Lotus, is this all right?" asked his subordinates hiding in the shadows in a regretful tone, "If Osborne's men kill Bailey, our business will be ruined. ”

"Don't worry, it's out of the way. Black Lotus chuckled, "Even if Bailey's kid has any strengths and weaknesses, Griffith will continue this business with us with his nose." ”
