Looking at the group of strangely shaped creatures that appeared in front of him, Hudson found that his biological common sense was completely subverted.

According to the official history of the continent of Aslanth, there were no orcs in ancient times. Until a guy who claims to be a beast god is born and guides the evolution of Warcraft into an intelligent race.

Then, under the inspiration of the gods, the mouse evolved into the rat man, the lion into the lion man, the eagle into the eagle man, and the cheetah into the leopard man......

The second senior brother is more powerful, and has evolved Pigs and Boar People respectively, the former inheriting his laziness and the latter inheriting his strength.

As for the demonic beasts that have not evolved, they are obstinate creatures that have been abandoned by the gods.

It's just that this statement was strongly opposed by Bear Stearns. According to the bear cub, these guys who write history are unscrupulous, and they are all unfounded fabrications.

The appearance of orcs is completely the product of the incest between some intelligent races and beasts. Among them, the Terrans contributed the most, followed by the Dragons, Dwarves, and Giants...... These races, including the gods, also participated.

If you insist on saying that there is no race, it is estimated that the elves who have a serious habit of cleanliness may not participate in the creation of the race. Perhaps this is also the reason why elves and orcs have always looked at each other unpleasantly.

The evidence is very simple: the comprehensive quality of orcs is far from catching up with Warcraft. Not only is the strength weakened, but the wisdom of most orcs is not as good as that of Warcraft. Only the best of them can compete with similar Warcraft.

Wisdom and strength are both reduced, you can't just evolve claws, right? This kind of evolution is not so much evolution as degradation.

Of course, the persuasiveness of this evidence needs to be strengthened. After all, the direction of evolution is uncontrollable, and it is not surprising that there are a bunch of failures.

The crux of the matter lies in the "call of the gods", and if under the leadership of the gods, a lot of failures have evolved, then it is really impossible to say.

On the contrary, incest is a blind theory, which is easier for Hudson to accept. After all, orcs are highly polarized, with both upper and lower limits frighteningly high.

If it has something to do with the ancestors who created them, then it makes sense. They are all hybrids, and the races that are contaminated with the blood of the gods are likely to be much stronger than those made by ordinary intelligent races.

Some of the powerful races in the Orc Empire firmly claim to be descendants of the gods. In addition to the unified belief in beast gods, there are also a bunch of racial gods, or the existence of totems.

The reality template is Prince Alex of the Orc Empire, as the most contributor to the contemporary race, he has made a lot of strange offspring.

Except for a few talents that are okay, the rest are weak chicken races, at least compared to pure-blooded Beamon.

Together, Alex created the descendants of two regiments by himself. If these hybrid creatures continue to interbreed with other creatures, no one knows how many new species will be created.

A large number of new races also confirm the feasibility of the "hybridization theory" from the side. At least a considerable part of the orc race is a hybrid of mixed blood.

After scrutinizing it and satisfying his curiosity, Hudson decisively put out his desire to continue the search for the truth.

There are some things that it is better not to know too much. If you accidentally uncover the shocking secret that has been sealed for a long time, then the days will not pass?

"I wonder if Kate came over to Baron today, what is the matter?"

Hudson asked, confused.

For no reason, he didn't believe that his good neighbors would come over to give gifts. What's more, the strange-shaped orcs in front of him are not suitable as gifts.

If it's a gift, it's also a fox girl, a rabbit girl, a cat woman, and a leopard girl...... These interracial beauties are more likely to gain the favor of their owners.

Of course, this is just a thought. The price of interracial beauties is not cheap, and they often far surpass Terran women in the slave market, usually starting with dozens of gold coins.

With the friendship between the two, the generous Lord Hudson is only willing to give out ten iron pots, how can Kate send dozens of interracial beauties?

"I heard that Baron Hudson has been busy clearing the wasteland lately, and it just so happens that I have a batch of cheap and useful orc slaves in my hands. If you are interested, you can make the transfer. ”

Kate came to Baron and said straight to the point.

It's not the first time the two have done business, and he knows Hudson's and urine very well. If he didn't get straight to the point, the profiteer in front of him would be able to accompany him around for a day.

In the spirit of the sooner he struck, the sooner he was freed, Baron Kate really didn't want to keep a large group of orc slaves in the eyes.

Glancing at the orc slaves again, Hudson admitted that he was tempted. Clearing the wasteland is very labor-intensive, and now the hilly area is fine, once the tentacles are extended to the swampy area, it is the hardest hit area.

In the continent of Aslant, there are many strange creatures and dangerous places, and no one knows what dangers will be in the mysterious swamp.

Even if there were no such dangers, the price to pay if you wanted to develop the swamp would not be small, and there would not be enough human lives to fill it, and you would not have to make a result.

If there were no risks, the fertile swamps would have been occupied long ago, how could Hudson be his turn?

Hudson didn't believe that no one had noticed the swamp outside his own territory. Even ordinary nobles don't go to the mess and don't find out what is excusable, but the griffin cavalry flying in the sky is not also ignorant, right?

Filling it with one's own serfs is very disrespectful. Once the casualties exceed the tolerable limit, the serfs will also make a fuss, and it will be a big scandal if it is not.

In contrast, using orc slaves is not such a problem. No matter how heavy the casualties are, the outside world will not pay attention.

After a pause, Hudson tentatively asked, "You need to make a trip yourself, I think there should be a lot of slaves here, right?" ”

Since it is to purchase orc slaves, it is definitely meaningless to have too few of them, it will only increase the management cost of the territory; If there are too many of them, Lord Hudson's wallet can't stand it.

In a sense, Kate came to Baron this time and did not pick the right day, and chose to come to the door to sell when he was the poorest of Lord Hudson.

"The number is not too much, the total number of orc slaves is only twenty or thirty thousand, and I have to keep some of them.

Now there is a serious shortage of labor in both counties of Lyte and Wyton, and the number of slaves is not at all! ”

Baron Kate said confidently.

There is no problem, as long as the price is cheap enough, more than 20,000 slaves are definitely not enough for the nobles in the two counties. If you want to satisfy everyone's appetite, it's almost the same as adding a zero at the end.

It's just that the premise is that the slave can't be preceded by "orcs", otherwise the situation will be reversed. In particular, these orcs are divided into dozens of races, which makes it even more difficult to sell.

"In that case, congratulations to Kate on coming to Baron to make a fortune. If the price is right, I'll keep the minotaur and kobold. ”

Hudson said with a blank face.

Whether orcs are good or not, he doesn't know. However, some stories and legends he had heard that kobolds were good at making holes and could be used for mining; The bullhead has a lot of manpower, and it is best to use it for coolies.

As for the other races, Lord Hudson said: either they are too bumpy or unfamiliar.

The waist bag is not rich, in order to step on the pit less, it is better not to touch it. After all, the Baron Kate in front of him really didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp.

changed to someone else, and was cheated by him in the transaction, and it is estimated that he will never come to the door. How can this person be able to keep his sanity all the time, as if he was not affected by the previous transaction in the slightest.

"I'm sorry, Baron Hudson. These slaves were not sold alone, but could only be purchased in combination, and the number of purchases at one time could not be less than 10,000 people.

If the quantity purchased is large enough, you can also get a discount. If you can buy it in a package, you can even get a 70% discount on wholesale.

The main reason is that my communication skills are too weak, and I have no friendship with most of the nobles in the two counties, so I am embarrassed to come to the door to sell. Otherwise, I will not find you to conduct wholesale sales. ”

Baron Kate replied helplessly.

They all learned from Hudson, and high-quality slaves and low-quality slaves were mixed and sold, lest the good goods be sold out and the rest would be smashed in their hands.

In order to convince Hudson that he was really selling in tears, he even did not hesitate to expose his shortcomings and bluntly said that he did not have a good relationship with the local aristocracy.

Unfortunately, the result was destined to disappoint him, and the poor Hudson lost the courage to even ask the price when he heard that it was being packaged and sold.

YY

Risking to capture slaves from the orc empire and sending them over thousands of miles, I don't know how many times I changed hands along the way, and the cost can be roughly estimated.

Without earning several times the profit, who is full of food and support, going to be a notorious slave trader? Even if it is really cheap, how cheap can it be?

Even if the price was only one-third of that of a Terran slave, Hudson, who was heavily in debt, could not afford it now.

Even if secondary distribution was possible, Hudson would not have advanced money for this high-risk transaction.

After all, slaves were meant to eat. In case the market is bad, and in the end there is a large backlog of slaves in their own hands, and the daily consumption can crush people.

"Since that's the case, then we can only look forward to the next cooperation."

As soon as Hudson's words were finished, Baron Kate's face instantly turned ugly. The only person in the two counties who could eat this batch of slaves stopped playing, didn't it cost him his life?

"Your Excellency, don't be so hasty to refuse, you might as well listen to my offer first, the price is definitely an unexpected offer. If 24,000 slaves are sold in a package, you will only need to pay 55,000 gold coins......"

Without waiting for Kate to finish speaking, Hudson turned his head away. The orc slaves who were able to walk out of the northern frontier on foot were all strong laborers.

The average unit price is less than 2.5 gold coins, and the price is indeed unimaginably low.

At the same price, if you want to buy Terran slaves, it is estimated that you will be beaten out directly by slave traders.

Referring to the serfs exchanged by Hudson before, we know that the number is less than half of it, and after adding a batch of livestock and grain, the total price is almost the same.

You must know that the serfs are family units, but the old women and children are packed together to calculate the population, and less than half of them are young and strong men and women.

At such a price, everyone is still making friends, and they didn't deliberately kill him. According to the slave market in the current market, the price can be even higher.

Maybe there were cheap slaves at another time, but that's the current market price. We should not think of buying slaves in the southeastern provinces where there is a serious imbalance between supply and demand.

"With all due respect, Kate comes to Baron. The price you give is really good, but a good price doesn't mean it's a good product.

Verbal communication alone is a big problem. What's more, these slaves are all recently captured raw slaves, and it will be much more difficult to manage.

Even if it is a split sale, few nobles will be interested, let alone packed.

It won't be long before the city of Dadir will host a trade fair. Your Excellency should bring the slave over and ask the Sith Baron for help! ”

Hudson decisively came up with a bad idea.

I was worried about how to demolish Baron Sith, and now the opportunity is sent to the door. The first time you hold a trade fair, you need to make a name for yourself, and a large number of unsalable goods are not good.

It's just that this huge orc slave is a proper hot potato. As for the difficulty of management, that was purely an excuse for Hudson's refusal.

With the few soldiers led by the maple leaf, he can watch so many slaves. The unruly people who thought of it had already been disposed of.

As for what Baron Sith will do with this trouble, it has nothing to do with Hudson. Anyway, no matter what the final outcome is, they can sell the seeds of contradictions within the nobles of the Northland.

"Baron Hudson, I'll tell you the truth. My relationship with Baron Sith has never been very good, and it all started with an outing.

It's hard to say what happened. In short, our relationship has not been very good. Not long ago, he wanted to use the excuse to sneak up on your territory, but I refused. Count on him to help, I'm afraid it's ......"

Hudson could not determine whether Baron Kate's sale was true or false. But one thing is for sure, and that is that Mr. Hudson really has no money.

If it is one or two thousand gold coins, he can still grit his teeth and pull it out, and thirty or forty thousand gold coins will have to go into debt. No matter how much it is, it will be difficult to borrow money.

Hudson was heavily indebted and largely an open secret in native aristocratic circles. When it comes to money, even if it is relatives and friends, you have to weigh his ability to repay.

"In that case, Your Excellency should go over. Presumably the invitation, you also received it. It clearly says that it wants us to bring the goods to the market.

Even for everyone's daily living expenses, our Sith Baron proudly said that he would be responsible. The daily eating, drinking, and lazing of more than 20,000 slaves is not a small amount.

Your Excellency only needs to bring all the slaves with you, and it won't be long before Baron Sith will be more worried than you. ”

Hudson agitated vigorously.

It's not that he is ill-intentioned, it's that Baron Sith is too arrogant. In order to make the name of Dadir City, even the participants dared to provide food and lodging.

Didn't you force Lord Hudson to do something bad this time?

Originally, Hudson was going to invite a group of nobles, bring more people over to eat and drink for nothing, and make some trouble by the way, so that the governor who was hundreds of miles away could see his efforts.

Now that there is more Baron Kate to come to this knife, it will be even more important to cheer for Baron Sith. Not only to support the stage, but also to set the stage high.

After hesitating for a while, it was reality that prevailed over everything. Even though he knew that it was a bit immoral to do so, Baron Kate still gritted his teeth and nodded.

In any case, it is better to offend Baron Sith alone than to offend a group of Northland tycoons. They were all vicious slave traders, and if they couldn't pay their debts, the consequences would be terrible when you think about it.

……

In the city of Dadir, seeing the day of the event approaching day by day, Baron Sith always felt uneasy. His instincts told him that something bad was about to happen.

But after taking stock of all the preparations, all the possible omissions, he made corresponding arrangements, and he really couldn't find a problem.

"What is the reaction of those local nobles after receiving the invitation, and will they collectively boycott this event?"

All the nobles in the north have said that they have said that even if they have quarreled with him on weekdays, they will give their full support this time. Then the only one who does things can only be the local aristocracy.

In fact, before planning this operation, he also carried out a number of public relations activities, and won over a group of local neutral aristocrats.

It's just that compared to the entire local aristocratic group, there are only a few who are willing to accept his wooing.

"Don't worry, young master. According to the information we have gathered, the local nobles did carry out a tandem, but not to resist participating in this event, but to bring more people over to increase our logistical pressure.

It is said that the mountain baron was behind the operation. I guess I want to take advantage of the large number of people and create chaos for us.

After all, he was born in a small family, and he inevitably acted in a small family. The event lasts only a few days, and even if they come in more people, how much will it cost us?

Where we should be prepared, we have taken precautions. Coupled with the nobles of the Northland who are close to the young master, the number of troops we can use to maintain order at that time will be more than 1,500 people.

Even if they want to cause trouble, we can respond in time. As long as the commercial status of Dadir City is re-established, the current efforts can be doubled in the future. ”

The old butler said disdainfully.

Originally, he thought that the opponent was at the gold level, but he didn't expect it to be bronze, which really made him not interested.

Dadir City's geographical advantages are obvious, and it is unrealistic to prevent it from becoming a commercial center, and the best way to deal with it is to find a way to delay it.

Theoretically, not participating in the event and boycotting transactions in Dadir City is the best way to delay the spread of its influence.

But once people come, even if they don't trade, influence is still generated.

Businessmen are the most sensitive group and have their own logic for judging market potential. As long as the reputation of Dadir City is known, it is natural that countless merchants will come and take root.

Merchants came, goods were abundant, and the market developed, and when the time came, the nearby nobles couldn't resist it!

You can't just go to other cities hundreds of miles away to trade in order to gamble, right?

"That's the best, but we can't ignore the small actions of those local nobles, and if they don't do it, they will make a big mess for us.

The mountain baron, in particular, had to be kept an eye on. The reckless man who can run the territory is definitely not a reckless man who can only fight and kill.

And the baron from the Dalton family, who is said to be graduating from the Academy of Magic. Although his territory is not as good as that of Dardir, it is also the heart of Wyton County.

Considering the background behind you, there is definitely a lot of resources that can be mobilized. If you jump out and compete with us for the southern regional business center, there will still be many supporters. ”
