In the past two days, there have been some strange things in the city of Stannlo, saying that someone saw Priest Barry and said that he was not actually dead, and some people said that Priest Barry was wronged by death, and now the ghost is still lingering in the city, probably with the intention of revenge on someone. In particular, some people have seen Priest Barry enter and leave the Knights' residence more than once, so everyone is also wondering if it was because Captain Mick and others killed Priest Barry, so the spirit of this Priest Barry has been wandering near the Knights' residence.

The Cult of Arthur also seems to have acquiesced to the news, and has not responded to anything, and has not taken any action against the matter on the surface. This makes the whole thing seem more real and false, and it becomes confusing.

"Lord Bird," the slave trader Adolf whispered.

"Huh?" Bird came back to his senses and looked at Adolf in front of him, only to see that several people around him were busy sorting out the information, presumably writing down everything I had just said, and verifying it.

"Well, my dictation is pretty good," Bird said jokingly.

A few days ago, Mick came to report that there were merchants from outside the city entering and leaving the slave trading house that this man was temporarily operating, and after following him, Bird and the others learned that some of these people were officials from several territories next door, and some were personally sent by Adolf in front of him to collect information in various places.

Now that it is confirmed with the information he has dictated, he can prove whether what he said is true, and he can complete the information, presumably this guy in front of him should already know about the misty forest and the 'monster' that flew out.

"The lord is polite when he says this, I am only doing this carefully, after all, I am only doing things for others, and I have paid so much to get this. If it is empty, all my life's efforts may be in vain."

Bird didn't know how true or false Adolf's words were. A sophisticated slave trader would reveal his heart to him in small talk? Bird thought it was ridiculous.

"During this time, thanks to the special care of the lord," Adolf deliberately strengthened his tone on the words 'special care', obviously referring to something.

"I have one more thing to do, and I may need the help of my lord."

As soon as he heard this, Bird secretly said in his heart.

When they inquired about Priest Barry before, there was actually another thing that was quietly happening at the same time, and Bird and the others were extremely shrewd to inquire about it.

This guy is constantly buying some materials and food from all over the city, as well as potions sold at the Naibao Trading House. In the past two days, nearly half of the daily potions of the entire Naibao Trading House have mostly gone into the pocket of the guy in front of him.

Bird estimated that Adolf was going to enter the dense forest in the next two days, and planned to break through and take a look.

"Please say," Bird said politely.

"I hear that Lord Lordship is worried about how to arrange these new slave purchases?" Adolf glanced at Bird, seeking his response.

Bird, however, seemed a little distracted, apparently not wanting to answer the question.

This made the atmosphere a little awkward, and this Adolf was also a good person. Seeing that Bird didn't respond, he coughed lightly and continued, "I have a way to help Lord Lords solve this problem temporarily."

"Our group plans to go to the misty forest to find out the situation before leaving, so as to prepare for the future action. Now there is a shortage of manpower for the time being, and a lot of helpers are needed, I don't know if Lord Bird is willing to lend these slaves to us temporarily, and there will be a lot of thanks after they come out."

Adolf said this cautiously, especially when he saw Bird's previous reaction.

For a small territory, the population is everything to the entire territory, and its economic taxes and military power are all related to the population, and the slaves that Adolf 'gifted' to Bird before were all strong young men, and when the labor force was strongest, it was even more precious.

Adolf even heard that this Bird also planned to arrange these slaves into the Knights, and judging by this situation, Bird must have always valued these slaves very much.

In fact, Adolf was also forced to be helpless.

Before coming to Stanlow, he had only brought with him a sufficient number of slaves in accordance with last year's order, and the only surplus was the slaves that had been 'gifted' to Bird. He had given these slaves to a long-time business partner in order to strengthen his friendship, but he never thought that he would give them all to Bird.

Now the remaining slaves of his own are either old, weak, sick and disabled, or have been predestined for a long time. According to the rules, the predestined slave himself cannot be moved.

That's why we have this scene.

"Could it be that you still owe slaves to help you work?" Bird felt that the words of this guy in front of him did not make sense at all, and it was a joke for a slave trader to still owe slaves to work.

This time it was Adolf's turn to be silent, and he just smiled.

If Bird doesn't agree, he goes to another territory for help. But to speak out about the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Adolf's reaction was projected into Bird's eyes, but it made Bird's heart startled.

Could it be that this guy has already sold all the slaves in that house?

Bird turned to the manor where the slaves were placed that day to check on the slaves, and there were quite a few slaves.

But why hadn't he heard Mick say that there were so many caravans coming and going? Could it be that Adolf had his own transportation channels?

Bird looked at Mick beside him, and then couldn't help but look at Adolf.

Seeing him staring straight at him, waiting for his reply, Bird muttered for a moment, "Of course it's fine, but you are responsible for this food consumption problem." If you don't have enough food, you can contact the Aubrey Administrator directly, we still have some surplus food here, but it's not much, and the price may be a bit expensive."

"It's nothing," Adolf grinned when he saw Bird agree.

"Besides, I think that with so many slaves, maybe you are not easy to manage, and in my Stanlo Free Territory, you are not familiar with life, and you may need some help. Well, how about I send a small detachment of knights to assist you in your work?"

Bird's words are very nice, and they are called helpers, but they are actually overseers.

Adolf's grinning mouth froze instantly, but in the blink of an eye, he recovered again, clapping his hands and not caring "Of course this couldn't be more enjoyable!"

Bird laughed as well, and the atmosphere seemed a little cheerful.

Of course, if it weren't for the two squires behind Adolf staring at him, the atmosphere might have been better.
