Chapter 234: Slaves, Shrines

And when he saw several familiar figures standing on the bow of the ship, Xia Duo's face was full of smiles, except for the Leiden priest who had long been well, the director of the Lieton Chamber of Commerce, and the president of the Slevin Chamber of Commerce, President Massa.

soon

The "Lucky Owen" slowly approached the landing site, and with a click, the gangplank was released, and Xia Duo stepped onto the boat, just in time to see old Owen coming from the stern.

Several people saluted together,

"Your Lord!" Xia Duo agreed, and then said: "Captain Owen has worked hard all the way, let's go and rest first; Priest Leiden, you arrange for people to disembark first, and the goods that should be unloaded are unloaded. ”

"Yes." The two took the order and left. Only Yarman and Massa remained, and Chado did not slack off,

"Two of you, the territory can't accommodate two of you for the time being, so let's talk on this boat."

"Your Excellency, you're welcome, we hope your Excellency won't blame you."

"It's okay, the Great Xia Leader welcomes the two of you at any time, as well as Mrs. Patty, President Hans, and President Fleck, to come and check the progress." Xia Duo and their contract has an agreement about the progress of the development, but it is not very precise, Xia Duo has long prepared them to come, after all, it is real money to invest, and it will be reassuring to see it with your own eyes.

It's just that Xia Duo didn't expect it to be less than ten, and the prototype of the first phase of the project did not appear, and they all came.

After a few casual greetings, watching the people get off the boat one by one, Xia Duo didn't have much desire to talk, and the growth of the territory made him happy.

He roughly counted, this time in addition to the more than forty people who had not been brought before, there were more than twenty more ragged people, most of whom had obvious chain marks on their wrists, yellow muscles and thin faces, dull eyes, and they were not very stable in walking.

At first glance, he looks like a slave who got it out of nowhere! Xia Duo casually nodded a few people, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Look at it, can these people still work?" President Massa, how are you! ”

"Lord Lord, these are fugitive slaves from the mainland, and they are already lucky not to die, and this batch of slaves only needs this number!" President Massa's eyes narrowed, and he held out two fingers and compared.

Xia Duo didn't like his eyes, and deliberately exaggerated the number,

"Two gold coins?"

The lord smiled, it was twenty gold coins each. Don't look at them so thin now, but as long as you feed them for a while, they will recover soon! Massa's expression of making a big deal made Xia Duo speechless, but he didn't refute it, he knew that the price of a normal human slave was about a hundred gold coins, and it would be more expensive for aliens or those with special talents.

Although the slaves provided by Massa this time looked lifeless and emaciated, they were indeed as he said, as long as they recuperated for a while, they could be recovered, and 20 gold coins were not expensive.

It's a bit inappropriate to just send these here.

"President Massa, next time there is such a slave, put it in Savile Town to restore it and then send it over."

"My lord, this was arranged by Priest Leiden." Massa said aggrievedly, in fact, he himself was willing to raise these slaves for a period of time.

How much is the grain worth, and the price at which it is sold can fully make up for it, and there is much more! But who had his ship unloaded at the port today, and was discovered by the Leiden priests!

"Priest Leiden?" Xia Duo didn't think of the possibility of price increase for the time being, but it was easier for the suffering to accept the new order, and the clergy should understand this aspect better.

"In that case, let's send it directly next time!"

"Yes." Massa had a bitter look on his face. Seeing Massa's appearance of the dead six, Xia Duo immediately reacted, and there was definitely a real interest in this.

After a little pondering, Xia Duo knew what the other party was playing and paid attention, so he ignored it directly. …… Soon, all the personnel and materials had already disembarked, because there were more people on this trip, and there were fewer materials, all food, and a small number of tools.

And now that Owen has come, Xia Duo's itinerary can probably be determined, after asking Owen about the recent wind direction, Xia Duo agreed with Nia with the help of communication magic weapons, and the two will go to the Mage Tower to answer questions.

In these days, Xia Duo saved up a sack of questions and wanted to ask Nia, during which he figured out some of the questions himself, but the questions of the new students were always endless.

Sometimes Xia Duo thinks that it would be nice to have an old man with him! In the afternoon, with the new entrants, a simple wooden house quickly took shape, with branches and trunks as bones, hay and earth as walls, and branches and hay on top.

As soon as there are more people, there will be more work that can be done, and Xia Duo feels that the progress of development has been raised all of a sudden. In the evening, the priest of Leiden came to the camp of Chadoth alone,

"My lord, there are nearly a hundred people in the territory now, but I am going to build the altar."

"The Altar?" Xia Duo was puzzled, he suddenly found that he didn't even know what the function of the altar was, the altar he knew was almost a village-level temple, but Xia Duo had never even entered the temple, let alone the altar, and the only knowledge he had was limited to books and word of mouth in Savile Town.

"My lord, building an altar can soothe people's hearts." The concept of soothing people's hearts is very broad, and even a show or a spell as a lord can soothe people's hearts, but what about more specific?

Xia Duo asked again, "What about the other than this?" Be specific. Leiden quickly grasped Chateau's thoughts,

"The shrine can store holy water." That's right, if there is no actual effect, then why build the altar specifically, Xia Duo is not biased about whether to build the altar or not, but only to consider the actual role.

"What do you need to build an altar? Can the current territory be satisfied? ”

"My lord, the Lord of Glory is not the Lord of Strictness, the Lord of Vanity, but the Lord of Mercy, it doesn't matter what the carrier of the altar is, the key is regulation and holy power, and at this stage you can use wood." Since it was not complicated, Xia Duo directly allocated two subjects to the priest of Leiden for the construction of the altar.

After the altar, Chardo also had something to ask Leiden,

"Have you touched those slaves? Can it be converted into a citizen? ”

"My lord, I don't recommend turning them into subjects immediately." Leiden Orthodox,

"These people are fugitive slaves, unruly, and must be indoctrinated first!"

"......" Xia Duo really wanted to ask Layton, the numb look in those people's eyes, where did you see people being unruly.

Xia Duo immediately realized that there were still some differences between his three views and Leiden's. However, he didn't immediately turn these slaves into lords, he meant to ask about the background of these slaves, whether there would be any hidden dangers and so on.

Knowing the true meaning of Xia Duo's words, Layton was not ambiguous, and immediately revealed everything he had heard on the boat.

These slaves were originally just ordinary civilians in the north, who were requisitioned by the lord to mine, and then tried their best to escape, and were recaptured, and then they became slaves, and they were the lowest slaves, and they were the lowest level of slaves, and they destroyed the people of the original two villages in the pit, and now there are only about 20 left, and they were somehow bought by the Slevin Chamber of Commerce and sent to Xia Duo.
