Chapter 202: The Slave Market
"Gervais, move more handsomely!"
When Pat saw Gervais get up, he really didn't expect Gervais to have such a hobby, after all, killing orcs also requires some courage.
"Haha, Pat, look at it!"
Gervais smiled at Pat, and then followed the squire to the underground passage, and before entering the arena, Gervais handed the head of the gladiatorial arena 6 gold coins before entering the gladiatorial arena.
"Brave! Brave! Brave! ……”
As soon as the leader of the pig-headed men died, those who had made the right bet would be able to claim the prize, so they did not hesitate to cheer for Gervais.
And when Gervais walked to the stage, several demon hunter members were tired, but still respectfully saluted Gervais, after all, Gervais was their gold master, and the 6 gold coins that Gervais gave accounted for half of their income from today's battle.
Choke~
At this moment, the leader of the pig-headed people has been pulled up by the witcher team with a rope, Gervais nodded to several witcher members, and there was no longer any delay, Gervais directly pulled out the long sword on his waist, the long sword made of mythril flashed in the sun, and before everyone could react, the cold light flashed, and Gervais smoothly completed a sword swing, and in the blink of an eye, the long sword was once again put into the scabbard by Gervais.
Gracefully and elegantly slashed, Gervais stepped down the platform and back to the underground passage without looking back.
One second, two seconds, three seconds! Smack......
When Gervais stepped down from the platform, it was a full three seconds before the pig-headed man's head fell from his fat body, and the blood spurted red the entire platform.
Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
When the pig-headed man's head fell, the audience, who were originally a little inexplicable, reacted, and everyone stood up and cheered loudly.
In the past, the 'braves' who killed the leaders of the orcs were not without the realm of Gwes, nor were they without the ferocity of Begvais, even if they split the orcs in half, but with such a B grid and so elegant, Gervais was really the first person.
……
"Haha! Gervais, I have to say, you're so handsome today! It is estimated that there are many aristocratic ladies who have taken a fancy to you at the scene! ”
"I've got 6 gold coins, so of course I'm more handsome! Ha ha! ”
Gervais was in a good mood at the moment, although he gave out 6 gold coins, but in exchange for 1 energy point, which was already a big profit, Gervais even had the idea of wanting to settle in this Lindong City.
You can search for 1 elf worm amber with 1 energy point, and the market price of elf worm amber is generally around 50 gold coins, which is a huge profit, and more importantly, it can also be exchanged for energy points!
"Let's go, Pat, let's go to the slave market!"
Gervais had just learned from the attendants in the Colosseum that there was only one game in the Colosseum today, which frustrated his original plan to get an extra energy point or two.
After coming out of the Colosseum, Gervais did not go to collect his unicorn, but walked directly to the slave market with Pat.
The slave market in Winterfell is actually very simple, the perimeter is all walled by wooden piles, which is only more than two meters high, but there are several towers around it, which are supposed to prevent slaves from escaping, and in the market, there are no buildings, all tents, and some are even just a roof, which can only barely shelter from the wind and rain.
"Pat, is this slave market run by the Jones family?"
Gervais was a little curious, the slave market was also a relatively important economic trade in this world, but he didn't expect it to be so simple inside.
"It can be said that it can be said that it is not, except for the annual southern expedition, the Jones family and us vassals will have slaves for sale, usually some slave traders sell here, and the Jones family just provides a venue."
Pat was accustomed to the slave market, and he was not prepared to buy slaves, so he walked pleasantly side by side with Gervais, only to take a closer look at the stalls showing young female slaves.
"Gervais, are you going to buy a slave today?"
Kankan withdrew his eyeballs from the female slave behind him, and Pat asked Gervais curiously.
"I do have the idea of buying some slaves, the population of my territory is too small, there is not enough manpower at all, let alone ploughing the land for work, if I want to recruit a few more qualified guards, there is nowhere to find them!"
Although Gervais is now taking the route of commerce and trade, and does not have as much demand for population as other lords, the population of his territory is too small to even meet the needs of commerce and basic construction, so he has no choice but to buy a few slaves to go back.
If all the wine is sold this time, then Gervais will have a lot of money, and building the territory will be his main task next.
What's more, the summer harvest has already begun, which means that this year's autumn campaign is about to take place, and if Gervais can't arrange the population and territory construction before the autumn campaign, then everything will have to wait until next year to start building the territory.
There are three principalities on this continent, in addition to the Duchy of Jean, there are also the Duchy of Xis and the Duchy of Alban, and every autumn, when the seedlings of the second season are planted, the king will issue a conscription order, recruit all his vassals, and launch an attack on the Duchy of Alban!
With the king's conscription order, the vassals below will also issue a conscription order to their vassals, layer by layer, and finally minor nobles such as Gervais and Pat will of course not escape the conscription order, and they all need to bring soldiers and horses to fight a two-month war for their monarch.
When the war is over and when he returns, it is basically almost winter, and other people's territories can still recuperate by winter, but after Gervais returns, he will immediately face the invasion of the orcs.
……
While talking to Pat, Gervais suddenly saw a slave stall that suited his needs, so Gervais stopped in front of the slave stall.
Most of the slave stalls in front of them sold teenage children and young women, but this stall had men, women, and children, large and small, and Gervais wanted to sell some slaves to cultivate or build a territory, of course, he would not choose women or children alone.
In fact, what Gervais wants most is the kind of serf who drags his family with him, and this kind of slave is bought because of the constraints of the family, which will be much more peaceful, avoid some accidents, and are willing to work diligently.
"Two adults, let's see if there is anything satisfied, these are authentic Orben people, hard-working and hard-working, no matter what they do, they are good hands, and we have all been trained, and they are extremely obedient!"
Seeing Gervais stop in front of his stall, the slave trader immediately smiled and nodded enthusiastically at Gervais and Pat.
"What Orr himself, you slaves are dirty, they don't look like they have a lot of meat, and you can't even see your face, I tell you, don't pit us, or you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
For the slave traders, Pat was of course not polite, and he squeezed angrily.
"Yes! Be! The two masters rest assured, the villain is very honest, how dare he deceive the two masters! ”
The slave trader was not angry at Pat's squeeze, and still had a flattering smile on his face.
Although these small slave traders secretly have the support of a few small nobles, they themselves have no status, and of course they dare not offend the nobles, and they do what they do, Pat's words are really nothing.
After saying good words to Pat, the slave trader turned around, raised the whip in his hand, and struck at the slaves in the stall whose hands and feet were handcuffed by chains.
But fortunately, these slaves are also goods, and of course the slave traders will not break the goods in front of the customers, the whip just explodes in front of the slaves, and then the slave trader scolds him.
"Put your faces straight for me, let the two masters pick them well, if the two masters are not satisfied with you today, you won't eat tonight, and stand for me all night!"
The slave trader was very vicious in the face of his slaves, and it was the turn of his face faster than the flip of the book, and he scolded and lectured a few words, and saw that the serfs finally moved a little and raised their faces, and they were satisfied.
But at this moment, a whimper suddenly came from the stall.
"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”
"Why are you still bringing a little girl?"
It was only then that Gervais and Pat discovered that a little girl of two or three years old was squatting under the feet of one of the slaves, and the girl was probably startled by the explosion of the whip just now, and was sobbing quietly.
Seeing this, Pat immediately asked in surprise.
