The 5,000 pounds of sulphur ore eventually came in exchange for 65,000 gold coins, which not only did not be suppressed but far exceeded Landrig's expectations, for the simple reason that it was of high quality and rich in associated rare mercury, and if Zoya was not stupid, she would have knocked down the deal as soon as possible, and with full sincerity, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to eat this batch of goods after Lear had shopped around.

What's more, it is obvious that this kind of Lear has such a bonanza in his hands, even if she suffers a little loss for the first time, she must pull this thread, the demand for rare mineral deposits by warlocks is endless, otherwise she would not have come to a chamber of commerce to be the vice president of the chamber of commerce in her capacity.

Everyone needs money and resources, mages and warlocks alike, and dragons who sleep in their nests with shiny treasures in their arms and do nothing are considered unforgivable criminals in both categories.

Lear only withdrew 20,000 gold coins in cash from the Border City Chamber of Commerce, and he asked for the rest to be converted into two large merchant ships with eight guns, and an additional ten large guns, which cost another 30,000 gold coins.

Although I don't know what the use of Lear wants these useless cannons, but money can make the devil grind, and there are many useless things in the Earl of Parrington's mansion that there is no place to put them, since someone is willing to be the boss of this wrong, Zoya naturally doesn't mind stuffing him with all his brains, and the left and right are just a matter of reporting.

After Lear asked for the remaining fifteen thousand gold coins to be turned into a slave to fill all three of his ships, and gave Landrig five thousand gold coins to recruit sailors and replenish seafaring supplies, Lear took Hagmurak with him to the slave market of the Border City Chamber of Commerce.

There are three slave markets in the border city, the wharf is a small one, and the other one is in the west of the city, where there are some poor human beings or war orphans, the quality of slaves in these two places is generally not high, although the west of the city is a little larger and has more slaves, but it is not as good as the wooden platform built at will at the wharf, basically some rich families or small nobles will go there to select people.

Only this place controlled by the Chamber of Commerce has real good goods, most of them are losers on the battlefield, or declining knight explorers, who have fallen to the bottom of society for various reasons, and even some people directly want to change their fate and voluntarily become slaves, if you follow a good master on this continent, it is not uncommon to get rid of slavery status and become an upper-class person after a few wars, and it is rumored that several barons and knight lords under the Earl of Parrington were all slaves before.

These people have a common characteristic, that is, they are strong and strong, whether they are used as guards or private soldiers, as long as they go through simple training, and some are even directly the identity of soldiers, as for the question of loyalty, the Chamber of Commerce does not care, after the two people and money are cleared, it is the slave rebellion and the killing of the employer has nothing to do with them, only blame yourself for your poor defense, but this situation rarely happens, because once it appears, all the slaves who are bought in the same batch will be executed by the lord, and relatively speaking, there are more people who run away together.

The most that can be caught is a broken leg, and it will still be alive.

A seven-meter-high wall stretched out hundreds of meters from the rusty gate to each side, with sharp stone blades and iron thorns stuck upside down along the wall, and an arrow tower at the corner of the wall, heavily armed soldiers scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and there were also guards watching over the gate, standing at the door, he could not hear a single sound coming from inside, saying that it was a slave market, which Lear felt was more like a large prison.

"When you get to your lordship, this is it. ”

Gapley stood humbly in front of Lear's carriage, and when Zoya told him to do everything in his power to meet all the requests of his guests, he didn't dare to be as casual as he was when he greeted Landrig.

"Good. ”

Lear led the people out of the carriage, and the two heavy gates slowly opened, and a dozen or so guards who came out of it followed Lear and them to protect them after verifying Gapley's token.

Judging by their vigilant looks, it is clear that this is not a safe place either.

A few minutes later, Lear and the others walked to an empty gravel playground, covering an area of thousands of square meters, and Lear even saw a little blood stain on the gravel as they walked along, and there was a long high platform in front of the playground, Gapley asked Lear to wait, and then nodded to the captain of the guard next to him.

A dull horn sounded, followed by the sound of several heavy iron doors being pulled open, and people began to be driven out of the low hut on the right side of the playground, dozens of heavily armed soldiers lined up in two columns to squeeze a path out of the doorway, and constantly struck the slaves bound by the chains and shackles with the tail of their guns to keep the formation and speed up, and the crossbowmen on the high wall nervously locked on this side.

It wasn't until hundreds of people stood in front of Lear that he understood why the guards were so nervous from the intense hatred and anger in the slaves' eyes.

These people were warriors, at least once they were, and their fighting spirit has not been worn out until now.

Among them are humans, elves, dwarves and fishmen, although Eli claims to be a free country, but under the free democracy is also a free crime, at least if the elven council will never allow such a thing as a slave trade or even the sale of elves on the ground.

But it still appeared, nothing is impossible under the drive of huge interests, and in order to maintain the appearance of peace and friendship, the Elven Council can only turn a blind eye even if it knows.

Nearly 500 slaves in heavy chains were driven by hundreds of soldiers to stand under the high platform, slaves from different camps, even if there were guards watching, they still glared at each other and pushed each other vigorously when they collided, and every time a heavy whip fell on them, these people still did the same, which shows the strength of their hearts.

"My lord, this is the slave of the first battalion, and it is also the highest quality of our camp, there are seven camps of the plantt slave camp, and you will see the ones later, because these people are too dangerous, we have to tie them up, as you can see, even this is difficult to suppress their wild nature, but it also means that these people will be very good warriors if they are tamed. ”

Gappley carefully explained beside Lear, who was noncommittal and just silently glanced through the crowd, and when his gaze fell to the back of the crowd, a large man who was also more than two meters tall caught his eye.

Barbarians.

The big man was different from the others, when Lear's gaze swept over, he didn't avoid it but glared back viciously, and there was undisguised hatred and contempt in his eyes in return, which made Lear very strange, because he had never seen this person at all, and when he looked closely, he found that the big man's gaze was not focused on him, so he turned his head, only to find that Hag was also glaring at the man with strong anger in his eyes.

"You know him?"

Lear asked curiously.

"Tariq, we were from the same village, he joined Tanan-sama's party a few years before I did, and he snatched my prey when I was a child. ”

Hearing Haag's answer to Lear, you will understand, the barbarian food is rare, usually some underage children will go to the mountains and fields to try their luck, if there is a harvest, it will be a great improvement in the family's food, and it is even possible to survive a famine with a thin goat, so not to mention the revenge of killing the father, it is not much worse.

At this time, Gapley also noticed Tariq's rude behavior, he glanced at the guards behind him, and more than a dozen whips whistled towards Tariq's body and head, leaving more than a dozen deep blood marks in an instant.

But Tariq was fearless at all, and he even roared and called Haag 'a coward, a traitor, a barbarian disgrace'.

Lear waved back to stop Gapley.

"What do you want to do?"

He looked at Haag.

"I want to duel him, and the honor of the barbarians depends on the axe in his own hand to gain. ”

Hag bowed deeply to Lear, which was the etiquette of the barbarians, and to this day, Lear's place in his heart was no longer as simple as shouting "chief".

"Go ahead. ”

Lear smiled.

"Let go of the man and give him a weapon. ”

He said to Gapley.

"But my lord! That man is too dangerous! I suggest you don't do that. ”

Gapley was shocked when he heard this, and quickly explained.

"I don't want to repeat it a second time, so be it. ”

Then, under the bewildered gaze of the crowd, all the slaves were dispersed in all directions, a twenty-square-meter wide open space appeared in the playground, Tariq's handcuffs and shackles were unfastened, and when Hag walked from the high platform to the crowd to stand, a thick mace was thrown at Tariq's feet.

"Haag!"

Tariq roared and picked up his mace, and the half-hanging chain in his hand slammed into the air with a violent thud and slammed into the top of Haag's head.
