Chapter 137: News That Shocks the Divine State!
Holy Mine? Holy Father? A few question marks popped up above Lu Deng's head, and after reminiscing, he was a little helpless. Obviously, for more than two thousand years, the empress has added something interesting to the history of the dwarves.
The so-called Holy Father is most likely the father of the Qiyun Kingdom, and he is talking about someone on the road. The Holy Mine, needless to say, is the place where the Holy Father made his fortune, and naturally became a holy place for dwarves.
They dreamed of returning to the Sacred Mine and recasting the glory of the dwarves. It's a pity that the Holy Mine, which is regarded as a demonic curse by the Divine State, is not a mine that anyone dares to develop at all.
Until... Luton is back. After knowing that they could go to work in the Holy Mine, the resistance of all the dwarves instantly disappeared, and they couldn't wait to carry their hoes and shovels that night and rush to the Holy Mine to start receiving the blessings of 007.
The atmosphere is all set to this, and it would be too rude for Ludon not to say anything. He immediately said that he would buy all the dwarves in Dick's place.
"There are a total of 95 dwarves, the list and the unit price are here, the total price is 2156 meters, remove 100 meters, and then wipe a fraction, you pay 2050 meters!" Dick's eyes shone with greed, and his so-called erasure was really erasing 6 meters.
Dwarves serve as ominous symbols, coupled with their ugly appearance, temper tantrums, and difficult to manage. On weekdays, few people are willing to buy dwarves, and it is even more unheard of for someone like Ludon to clear his warehouse in one go.
Instead of rushing to negotiate the price, Luton kindly pointed out that Dick's slave trading market had a number of alleged irregularities.
If the palace of greed came to inspect, the fine alone would be enough to bankrupt Dick. Secondly, the preservation of the corpses of the elves in the ice cave is a serious violation of the sacred law.
The hobby of the big man of the Divine State, Lu Deng really did not dare to compliment. Finally, and most importantly. Dick is just a glove, helping the big guys keep some secrets.
If Dick gets into trouble here, the big guys won't even think about helping Dick out of trouble.
A more convenient way would be to tackle Dick and shut him up forever. Dick's face changed a few times, a drop of sweat on his forehead slid down his sideburns, and his lips squirmed weakly a few times.
In the end, after friendly negotiations between the two sides, the 95 dwarves were sold to Luden for 240 meters.
This is the real market price of the dwarves. The doors were about to close, and Dick simply didn't have that much food to feed the dwarves.
His original plan was to kill all the dwarves. As for what the meat is to be done, that's another bloody, cruel, disgusting story.
Goblins are like beasts, and there's a reason for that. Dick has done this for years.
Dick, who seems to be enthusiastic, has a cunning and bold heart. He could see that Ludon cared about the dwarves, who were worthless.
Then a bold idea came to Dick's mind: he was going to blackmail Ludon! He is the only one in the city who can buy dwarves, and Dick Lion opened his mouth wide and directly offered ten times the price!
It's just that he never expected that he had found the wrong person. Before Lu Den came, he had already asked the market price of the dwarves, 1-5 meters per capita, and even negative equity.
If it weren't for the slave catcher's requirement that every 1 elf be paired with 10 dwarves or goblins when selling goods, Dick wouldn't have bought dwarven slaves at all!
… Bundled sales belong to is. After the two parties reach a deal, one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers. After knowing that the destination was the Holy Mine, all the dwarves were extremely cooperative.
The dwarves were chained and walked up to the wagons that hauled the goods. These chains, which cost Luden a full 300 meters, are more expensive than the dwarves!
Lutdon took one last look at Dick, the look in his eyes cold and merciless, like looking at a dead body,
"Good luck, Mr. Dick." Leaving this inexplicable sentence, Lu Dengtou did not return to get into the carriage and walked away.
Dick stood there, muttering,
"Mr. Luden... A strange fellow, no wonder so many people scolded him, I would never choose such a tribune. "The night is slowly eroding this remote slave market.
When the next morning dawn woke up to the gods, the people did not notice anything unusual. It was also from this day that no one ever saw Big Dick again.
Until one day, the smell of the corpses was so rotten that the residents of the neighborhood couldn't stand it anymore and rushed into the slave market, trying to get Dick to take care of the damn slave market.
They searched the entire slave market, but found no sign of Dick. The iron cage was empty, as was Dick's own dwelling, and the underground ice cave was empty.
The corpses of those elves disappeared, disappearing with all their secrets. Only in the cage where the goblins were kept, there were a few decomposing, mutilated corpses.
Apparently, these goblins must have starved to death. People endured the nausea and stench, and in the corner of the cage, they found the broken step piece and... A human skull.
Unable to piece together the truth from these clues, one can only speculate that Dick may have accidentally locked himself in a cage while feeding the goblins, which led to the tragedy.
What a tragedy. In fact, the moment Ludon stepped into the slave market, Dick's death was inevitable.
Those big people will never allow their secrets to be discovered. They can't kill Luden, but they can easily throw a slave owner into a cage.
Under the sun, the Holy Code still guards the Divine State. Dick's story, like a gravel rolling in the desert, did not cause any waves.
After Ludon had settled the dwarves, he returned to his small building. A straw rope tied several children to the door of the small building, and they were in rags, shivering in the evening breeze.
Ludon directly asked the coachman to send the children to Ponga and train them as a servant army. For Ludon, his reputation is bad enough now!
The last time Lutdon had a friendly exchange with a noble lady, he asked Lutdon if he would mind inviting his husband to join in the grand event.
Luton sternly rejected the ridiculous offer and gave him a good punishment as a sign of resolve. He prefers to have an exclusive experience.
After sending the children away, Ludon took the time to check on Awu's schoolwork. Now, the orcs are coming, and many things are urging people to run.
Luden himself is busy and lacking skills, and Awu can only rely on him to realize himself. However, Awu is also extraordinary.
His resilience and ability to learn far surpassed his peers, not at all like a six-year-old. … Both Pang Ge and the Badwan scholars have surprisingly consistent evaluations of Awu: what a child, but unfortunately a slave.
If Awu was born in the Saint Family, Pang Ge was even willing to train him as a successor. It's a pity that I can't live.
After checking his schoolwork, Ludon dragged his tired body upstairs and decided to give his brother a vacation today. On the second day, the silence of the small building was broken by a series of hurried knocks on the door.
Opening the door, a scholar appeared outside the small building, with a serious expression and an unkind tone,
"On behalf of the Senate and the Palace of Greed, I ask Mr. Ludon to attend the hearing in the Senate on time at 2 o'clock this afternoon..."
"Got it, got it." Ludon yawned, his face full of nonchalance. Just for this little thing, wake me up early in the morning?
He knew very well what the Senate was looking for him. Not allowing pregnant women to enter the city is an order of the Senate, and it is also a requirement of the greedy palace, representing the consensus of the high-level of the Divine State.
If Ludon really wants to disobey orders, then he will have to pay a sufficient price. Originally, the farce at the city gate had the shadow of the Inquisition behind it.
The Senate is willing to open one eye and close one eye, and the greedy palace is also easy to discuss. But this matter is in the newspaper!
It also made newspaper headlines! This makes the old guys in the Senate can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they must do something to maintain the dignity of the Senate!
When Ludon arrived at the Senate that afternoon, he was greeted by eleven impotent and furious old men, and Lord Grued, who was sleepy on a large stretcher.
"This kind of weather makes me out, it's torture!" Justice Gourd took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
However, it was only in vain. He had just finished wiping it when sweat poured out again. Justice Greed could only urge,
"Let's get started!" Under the auspices of Justice Prood, the hearing officially began, and Ludon needed to defend his words and actions.
"Mr. Luden, it's simple." The person in charge of accusing Ludon was a third-class judge of the palace of greed, and he spoke quickly,
"You have made a public promise to let pregnant women into the city, contrary to the orders of the Senate. So, you now have a total of two options: 1. Bringing a pregnant woman into the Divine State in private, which is a serious violation of the Holy Law, and I am sure you know the consequences of doing so. 2. Publicly apologize to the Senate, ask for forgiveness from the Senate, pay a fine of 200,000 meters, and at the same time, you will also be disqualified from running for tribune for committing the crime of dishonesty. "Of these two choices, one is the bad choice and the other is the worse choice.
"Or, there's option three." Ludon spoke confidently and calmly, looking around the audience, and wherever he looked, the momentum of the other party would be a little shorter.
"We let pregnant women into the city, make the right decisions, and make the state of God great again!" The patriarchs exchanged heads and talked about each other.
They thought that Ludon must be crazy.
"Alright, Mr. Luden, let's stop talking nonsense." Justice Greed unceremoniously interrupted the whispers of the crowd and went straight to the ,...
"To put it bluntly, how are you going to convince the Greedy Palace to allow pregnant women to enter the city?" If a few more lives could be saved, no one would refuse.
Although he is the embodiment of greed, he still has a soft heart. Even the stubborn guys of the Senate will not be unhappy with these weak pregnant women.
Ludon gave his solution: "I will put a sum of money in the Greedy Palace as a deposit, if a pregnant woman gives birth during the lockdown, the child will automatically obtain the citizenship of the Divine State, and in the life of this child, all the expenses incurred by the Greedy Palace will be borne by me!" "Shhh
Even Al didn't expect that Mr. Ludon would dare to make such a promise!
"Mr. Ludon, I need to warn you." Justice Greid said solemnly,
"On average, the lifetime expenses of a citizen of the Divine State are 192,546 meters." Meeting Justice Grued's gaze, Ludon nodded steadily.
He can afford this money! After a brief silence, a fat hand was raised.
"Greedy Palace, agree with Mr. Ludon to defend himself." If the Palace of Greed agrees, it will automatically enter the Senate voting session.
Al was the first to raise his hand,
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!" Thirteen hands were raised in the air, and the Senate voted unanimously. Soon, an explosive news that shocked the Shenbang quickly caused a sensation in the city, and it put on its wings and flew farther away: "The latest order of the Senate is that after the pregnant woman and Mr. Ludon have reached a notarized contract, they can take refuge in the Shenbang!" ”。
