"Childe, I've already delivered the goods, do you want to order a little?"
The slave trader said respectfully to Adam, who nodded, his gaze sweeping to the slaves in the courtyard.
Among these slaves, there were men and women, and there were some old men, many of them crowded into the courtyard, most of them in ragged clothes, scrawny, and dead on their faces, as if they did not care about their own situation in the slightest, had no hope for the future, and did not even bother to put on a desperate expression.
The townspeople of Blackstone stood around the courtyard and gave way to the place, there were so many of them that the townspeople of Blackstone pointed at the slaves.
"Look at how thin they look, I can match the two of them alone, I really don't know why adults buy them. ”
"No, looking at them like this, a gust of wind can blow them down, I can't imagine what these people can do with them. ”
The fingers and fingers of the people around them did not affect these slaves at all, except for some children who occasionally showed nervous and panicked expressions, most of the other slave men and women had a stiff and indifferent expression, and did not care about anyone or anything around them.
Adam frowned and said, "How can there be children? Didn't I say only young people?"
The slave trader explained with some embarrassment: "Childe, do you know, these slaves are the subjects of a small principality in the northern desert, because the country lost the war, the territory was divided by the surrounding countries, and these people experienced the war, and the surrounding countries did not dare to accept them, for fear that they had hatred in their hearts, which would affect the stability of the country, so they sold them to the slave group." These people happen to be from the same town, so I'm thinking I'll bring them over to the adults!"
"Don't worry, my lord, there are not many children in it, and they are not counted in the total, and they are counted as my extra gifts to adults!" said the slave trader pretending to be generous, in fact, he also wanted to single out these children, but as soon as they moved these children, the women in these slaves would bite and kick like crazy, and they had a headache for a long time for the problems of these children.
Child slaves were rarely bought, and although they seemed to have no hope for the future, they immediately became madmen as soon as the slave group separated the children and the elderly. After thinking left and right, the slave trader decided to simply package and sell these people directly to Adam, and the extra people were sent to Adam at that time, after all, forcibly leaving some people is not easy to deal with, not to mention, it is difficult to manage.
For the people who make trouble among the slaves, the slave trader has not thought of killing chickens and monkeys, but these slaves are all bought with divine grace coins, and in the eyes of the slave traders, they are all golden divine gift coins, and he is really reluctant to kill them. The slave trader hesitated again and again, but happened to meet Adam, a big customer, and happened to sell this batch of inseparable slaves to Adam, which could solve his troubles.
After hearing the slave trader's explanation, Adam frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "How many people there are, tell me the number." ”
The slave trader took out a pamphlet from his bosom and said respectfully, "Childe, the total number of our men in this transaction is one thousand and eighteen, of whom five hundred and sixty-seven are men, four hundred and twenty-three are women, ninety are old people, and thirty-eight are children. Childe, you can send someone to take inventory, and besides, these old people are all according to your orders, and most of them have some special skills. ”
The slave traders deceived Adam, and only some of these old people had special skills, after all, these people were survivors of the same town, and there were many blacksmiths, carpenters and other professions, but half of them were ordinary farmers and did not have any special skills.
He calculated that it was impossible for Adam to be interrogated by every old man, so the slave trader dared to hide Adam a little on this point, after all, the slave trader also crawled up from the bottom circle, and his eye for people was also very accurate, he knew that for a noble brother like Adam, as long as he did not deceive him in terms of the approximate quantity and the quality of the goods, he would not care about some small flaws.
Adam looked at the courtyard full of people, and said with some surprise, "There are a thousand people here?"
The slave trader bowed his head and explained, "There are still some people outside, and this place is too small to fit in." ”
Adam nodded and said, "Do these people have any diseases in their bodies? They don't carry any plague, do they? Look at their emaciated appearance, I won't buy them soon, they will die, right?"
The slave trader exaggeratedly said: "Oh my God! Childe, how can you think like this, my reputation is well-known in the Principality of Tianying, how can I sell inferior goods to you, Childe! I dare to guarantee that these people absolutely do not carry any diseases, don't look at them as thin and weak, in fact, they are in good health! As long as you eat a few full meals, you can recover! I dare to guarantee this!"
Adam smiled, didn't speak, turned to Mario and said, "Send someone to count the number of people, and then find Captain William and ask him to help arrange a few more courtyards to settle these people." After settling in, I'll pay for it, and I'll make other arrangements for the people when Colin returns. ”
Mario nodded, walked up to the slaver and said, "Let's go, go out with me and count the numbers!"
The slave trader suddenly sneered at Adam, "This boy, you said you could pay the bill with obsidian" Adam suddenly patted his head and said to Mario: "Pay him with obsidian when the time comes." ”
Mario nodded, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said, "Let's go, take me to see the other slaves." ”
The slave trader didn't mind Mario's eyes at all, and he said happily, "Thank you, Childe! The slave trader took Mario and dozens of townspeople out of the courtyard to count the numbers.
Adam turned around and looked up and down the slaves in front of him with calm eyes, these slaves could be expressionless in the various stares of passers-by, but at this moment they were a little restless under Adam's eyes.
Adam's eyes had a strange glint in them, which made people look a little frightened, and there was a feeling of being stripped and scrutinized, and for the first time, these slaves clearly felt that they and others were like fat on a cutting board, to be slaughtered.
In fact, they had this feeling, it was nothing more than Adam using the lord's eyes to check their status without concealment, and although the slave traders repeatedly assured them that they were not sick, Adam was still not at ease. He planned to bring these people to Blackstone Town and fill the crowd in Blackstone Town, in other words, these people are likely to be his subjects in the future, if anyone has a contagious disease on their bodies, it will be him and the townspeople of Blackstone Town who will suffer at that time, which makes him careless.
Although the consumption of the people's hearts by each leader is very small, only a few dozen points, but when they are viewed so much, the consumption of the people's hearts is relatively large.
Adam glanced over one by one, and saw very quickly, and there would be a faint red glow on the sick people, which was very obvious at a glance, only some of these slaves suffered from stomach problems, and a few suffered from colds and other symptoms, and no contagious terminal illness or plague was found.
"Adult, please don't kill children, if you want to kill someone, kill me!"
A slave woman suddenly knelt down, held her child, and whispered a sobbing voice to Adam, her eyes full of trepidation and unease. The child in the arms of the slave woman looked at Adam with curiosity and fear.
Adam was slightly stunned, what is going on? When am I going to say to kill you?
Adam swept around with a puzzled look, and the townspeople around him all looked confused, and they didn't know what the situation was.
The slave women acted as if they had raised their heads, and each of these slaves was counted one by one, and one by one they kept kneeling down at Adam, their mouths constantly making supplication sounds, and their eyes were full of fear.
"Don't kill us, my lord!"
"My lord, I can farm, I can still use!"
"My lord, I can make a wooden house, and I can build a wall!
"My lord, I don't eat much! I can do anything! Don't kill me!"
Adam was dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of him: "This"
What's wrong with all of this? When am I going to say kill you!
