Chapter 131: Slaves and the Shackles of Slaves
Li Feng simply sorted out the magic crystals on his body, and found that there were really a lot of magic crystals on his body now, plus the twenty high-grade magic crystals distributed with the commendation order this time, there were about forty high-grade magic crystals in total. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is not a small amount, these are all high-grade magic crystals, and when converted into low-grade magic crystals, it is hundreds of thousands.
Thinking about it, when he came to Pabu Island, in the Mercenary Guild, he couldn't afford to pay the handling fee of ten lower-grade magic crystals, and finally took a bottle of pill and exchanged it with Ling Fei, which made Li Feng feel a little emotional.
This time I went to Ugeya to take office, and I went to the purpose of running and building Ugya. According to the regulations, the newly divided territory does not need to pay taxes to the higher lords for the first three years, and after three years, half of the taxes in the territory must be handed over to the upper lords, which is the obligation of the minor lords, and the big lords are also given the obligation to protect the security of the small lords' territories.
But today's natural conditions in Ugeya are too poor, not to mention anything else, the city wall on the periphery of Ugeya must be rebuilt, otherwise this kind of city wall that looks like it is about to collapse will have a baptism of war again, and it will probably not need the enemy army to attack the city, it will collapse first....
Also, if you want to build Ugya, you must build a big road to the crescent city, if you want to get rich, build a road first, even if you don't have good resources and minerals, it's useless. In addition, if Ugeya wants to get rid of the pattern of poverty, it must attract foreign investors to invest here, and if there is no well-developed road in a territory, even if there are gold and silver mountains there, no one will be rare.
Moreover, Ugeya is relatively close to the sea, if the economic conditions allow, Li Feng also plans to open a port on the coast not far from Ugeya, so that businessmen from other countries can take merchant ships to Ugeya to do business, Li Feng believes that as long as Wugeya has its own exclusive excellent products, it will not be able to attract those mercenary businessmen.
However, all of this is based on the fact that Ugya can get rid of the status quo, completely change its appearance, and show a new majestic posture, if it is still like now, the road is impassable, the city walls are dilapidated, and it gives people a feeling of lifelessness, if you say big things again, will anyone be willing to pay attention?
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Li Feng took Quinn and Li Jin, who had nothing to do, and prepared to go to Crescent City to purchase some items, and buy some slaves by the way.
Because of the frequent wars, many civilians lost their homes and had to sell themselves as slaves to support their lives, which is also the origin of the slave industry.
In order to prevent the slave from rioting and harming his master, a genius puppeteer accidentally invented something called the slave's shackles while researching how to give the puppet intelligence.
The slave's shackles are actually a kind of ring made of spirit crystals, burned by charcoal, and when he becomes soft, he is stuck on the slave's neck, and each slave's shackles will be equipped with a starter, if the slave wants to resist, just turn on the starter, and the slave shackles around his neck will gradually shrink, and once it is tight to a certain extent, it will suffocate to death.
The main material for the manufacture of slave shackles is the spirit crystal, which is a material with exceptionally good toughness, and the general matching spirit crystal is divided into two pieces, one large and one small, as long as the small one is compressed, the large one will also shrink, and the spirit crystal compression strength is very large.
If the power of the flame is used to make the large piece of the crystal into a ring and stick it on the slave's neck, and the small piece is pinched in the hand, it can basically ensure that the slave does not dare to resist and is foolproof.
Although it is not too difficult to see, it is not a big commodity, so only the treacherous slave traders of a certain grade will put the shackles of slavery on them, so that they can sell for a high price.
Coming to the slave market, Li Feng was an eye-opener, there were not only human slaves here, but also those rare half-orcs and orc slaves, but the number was very small, and these alien slaves were all put on the shackles of slaves, locked in cold iron cages, and their eyes were full of dead silence.
As soon as Li Feng stepped into the gate of the slave market, there was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, dressed in a good clothes, with his eyes blurred and a smile, walking towards Li Feng, followed by two servants in black overalls.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Li Feng?Welcome to the Blood Hall, the largest slave market in Crescent City, I wonder what I can sit for Lord Li Feng?"
The middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears raised his greasy face with three chins, looked at Li Feng respectfully, and lowered his position very low.
"You know me?"
Li Feng looked curiously at the fat-headed and big-eared slave trader in front of him, he was not a celebrity, how could a slave trader who could not have crossed paths in his life know him?
"Alas, I'm ashamed to say it, I heard that Lord Li Feng was the first to rush to the wall of our Crescent City, which led to the direct loss of our Crescent City, so I specially asked people to inquire more about Lord Li Feng's news, knowing that Lord Li Feng has now been canonized Ugya, I guess that Lord Li Feng will definitely buy some slaves to take to the territory for the first time, and Van Ryk has been waiting here for a long time. ”
Van Reyke, a slave trader with fat and big ears, said excitedly.
Although Van Reck's words can't find any flaws, Li Feng won't believe his nonsense, businessmen are profit-seeking, everything he says may be to lure you into the trap and make you spend more money.
"Oh, I see. I need a housekeeper who can help me take care of the house, and some slaves with special skills, such as people who can build houses, roads, and walls, I don't know if you have any of them. ”
Li Feng's mind is now full of the construction of Ugya, so he is particularly interested in these.
"Butler, I have a few candidates, as for the special slave you said who can do some crafts, it's not that there are none, it's just ....."
The fat-headed and big-eared Van Laik put on a look of embarrassment, and he was hesitant.
"Price is not an issue. ”
Li Feng stared at Van Ryk and responded bluntly.
"Lord Li Feng, what are you talking about? Doesn't it hurt your feelings to talk about money? But the people under your command have to eat, and there is really no way to do it!"
"I can give Lord Li Feng the lowest price for this special slave, a three-piece medium-grade magic crystal. This is also for the sake of Lord Li Feng's face, like ordinary people, I don't sell five yuan..."
Van Ryk looked like he had suffered a lot.
"Sell their families to me, and I'll count you as a household of five medium-grade magic crystals, how about it?"
Li Feng looked at Van Rak, who was full of pain, and asked.
