With Vincent leading the demons to go all out to collect the ransom, the Herodian prisoners of war finally began to decrease.

After this period of life as a prisoner, the Herodian finally understood that it was better to go bankrupt than to become the object of abuse of the demons.

As a lord who knows and does one, Vincent shouts and shouts, but he is unceremonious to deal with the Herodian who is sitting in an iron prison, and whoever wants to make up his mind to sacrifice his life and wealth, then don't blame the lord for being unkind.

The ransom was given more and less, and Vincent did not force it, what he wanted was a positive and cooperative attitude, including food and drink for a month, if he couldn't even pay a 50% down payment, he was deliberately trying to be a liar.

Those who do not pay the ransom will be repaid with labor in their lifetime, but decent labor does not exist for the old lai, and this is the labor reform advocated by the lord.

It was basically impossible to expect this group of pampered people who could only kill and set fires to work decently, but Vincent's original intention was not to oppress them, but to intimidate them.

Originally, the wicked had their own demon mills, but Vincent didn't have time to bother dealing with this group of guys, and now he had ready-made thugs instead of doing it himself.

The wicked have their own orc mills.

Rich people don't have to worry about dying in drills or hiding in the middle of the night, but labor reform is definitely a punishment that is worse than death, especially when the noble lord of Herod is forced to work with the orcs who used to be cattle and horses, the nobles know what will happen to them.

Sweetwater Village has newly built a long wall, and many people have been driven to work with the orcs.

When the enemies met, they were very red-eyed, and the orcs were really relieved to see that the old men had become slaves.

But the surprise was still to come, and they soon got a chance to retaliate.

The overseer's lich instructed the orcs to take revenge if they didn't want to die.

The orc slaves, who had already hated the Herodian nobles, boiled over, and took the initiative to work with prisoners of war, and their enthusiasm for labor increased exponentially, and all men, women, and children enthusiastically participated in the labor.

The demon lord is really a good demon with great mercy and compassion, not only giving food and drink, but also giving the suffering slaves a chance to take revenge, such a good lord cannot be found in the entire continent.

A group of nobles who were forced to work saw with their own eyes that an unlucky guy was holding a steel drill while smashing stones, and his wrist was directly broken by an orc slave with a hammer.

"Demon lords, I didn't mean to," the wolf orc explained with a hippie smile, "That guy is lazy, and when he killed my whole family, they had endless energy."

There are also nobles who just went up to the wall to transport materials, and were kicked off the wall by the orcs, and their heads were broken and bleeding, while the orcs laughed on the wall.

"My children were so much worse when they fell to their deaths from the walls," said one of the orc mothers viciously, "and I would build a higher wall for my lord, even if I sent them all up."

Anyway, the demons rely on curses to control prisoners of war and slaves, so naturally there won't be many people to supervise the work, and if the orcs find a place where there is no overseer to beat up the noble lord, they won't care at all.

It was because the Herodians had taught their slaves countless torture methods that the orcs could now take out the same mistreatment they had suffered and return it to the lord who had been on high enough.

The Herodian who participated in the labor camp was lucky to be injured, and the unlucky ones were directly disabled in the line of duty, and after returning home, everyone else felt palpitations.

Sure enough, it's better to pay the money.

"When is the time for retribution, pay the money and go home lightly." From time to time, Vincent whispered to the nobles of Herodes, "I'm going to dig a few wells for the village recently, and those who haven't paid the money should go and dig the wells with the orcs."

"Be careful when you go down the well, you must wear the wicker helmet I prepared, don't let the orcs accidentally smash it with something."

"It's normal to have an accident digging a well, if you can't get up, pray to the gods to save you."

After Vincent's teaching, the villagers' skills in digging wells have improved, and they are able to dig wells on their own, but if the lord wants the orcs to learn this trade, it will inevitably require sacrifices

A Herodian came to practice.

"The territory of the master of the power has been destroyed by you, and there are ready-made construction sites everywhere, and if you don't want to build walls or dig wells, you can cut down trees or build roads for me." Vincent gave the Herodians more choices, "Labor is the only option to survive without paying the ransom."

But even if there are no bears, cutting down trees is obviously not a safe job.

The Herodians who participated in the tree cutting had an accident that day, some people were smashed by a fallen tree and broke their legs, and others said that the orcs in the forest did not cut the tree at all, but chased after themselves with axes, and the lich and monsters did not care at all.

When transporting the wood, the orcs not only did not make a difference, but also deliberately left the wood so that the Herodians were injured.

No one dared to work with the orcs anymore, which made it very boring for the orcs who had not had time to retaliate.

After such an operation, the number of Herod nobles who did not pay the money was reduced by more than half in an instant, and the rest soon tasted the taste of labor reform and orc revenge, and began to seriously consider paying back the money.

As long as you are willing to exchange money, the demons will treat the injured or sick, which is a well-known thing.

For the sake of money, the demons will not let the bipedal ATM be scrapped, and after the injured howl and wail for a while, there will indeed be a little witch who will use magic to heal, but she will only heal the wounds, but not the pain.

As the chosen god of nature and life, Prani is self-taught in magic such as healing and purifying, and there is no problem that it will not relieve pain.

However, when she came into contact with the nobles of Herodes, even if she gave treatment, the other party lacked gratitude to him, and reprimanded him for not only degenerating into a witch, but also being a lackey of the demon race, which was simply a desecration of the dignity of the human race.

The awe-inspiring and righteous tone is exactly the same as that of the defenders in the church.

Later, Prani often treated orc slaves, and after hearing about the suffering accumulated by orcs for generations, he soon knew who should be rescued.

"Stop their pain, and they will forget the pain of others," Prani said to Vincent, "and there are some people I can't help, and some people who don't deserve help."

"The good can be good and evil," Vincent praised the little witch, "if even pain is unfair,"

"Our potions are more effective if they relieve pain." The lich took out the liquid with a strange smoke and said to the nobleman of Herodes, "Drink it, and you will forget the pain, and even turn it into pleasure."

After all, a lich is a lich, and he will definitely not introduce the addictive mechanism of drugs outside of treatment.

The Herodian who used the medicine thought that he had escaped, but within three days he would become an addict who could not stop the medicine, and soon wept bitterly and asked the demons for medicine to save their lives.

"Pay the money." The lich's answer was simple, "Remember to buy more medicine and go back, buy early and enjoy it early."

This addictive potion, called "Hearteater Nine", is made from Hearteater Grass in the Demon Domain through the Chaos Secret Method.

This thing is the work of Vincent's second brother, the famous necromancer Hisaac in his early years, and is mainly used to control the alien race and turn it into an irreversible puppet.

To be honest, the effect of this thing is not very good, and the puppet will certainly be unable to resist because of this, but if you continue to use it, you will become a waste person who only knows how to take drugs, and it is basically useless.

On the eve of the end of the last war, the potions had been refined, but when young Hisak came to the aid with the potions, the demon army retreated to the sea and prepared to return home.

To tell the truth, if the potions could be mass-produced and put into the occupied area during the Great War, the situation of the demons might not be as passive as it was later, and many revolts would not have happened.

Because the "Peace of Wind Castle" stipulated that the demons could no longer poison unoccupied areas on the mainland, Hissack's invention was born at an inopportune time.

Since this thing is completely useless to the undead, and the monsters do not need to rely on it to increase their loyalty, Hisaac's invention became an ornament, and it took a lot of effort to plant a large field of heart-eating grass in the territory.

In fact, Hisaac is not without other opportunities, after all, the demons finally cut off five territories on the mainland, two of which are by the sea, and the peace treaty does not stipulate demons anyway

The clan cannot toss the people of the occupied territories.

If you want to transport large quantities of goods without relying on portals, you need to use seaports.

However, due to the conflict between Vincent's eldest brother, the iron-blooded war maniac Shu Le, and his younger brother, he has always looked down on the shady necromancer since he was a child, so he has never agreed to use his territory on the mainland to give Hisaac a convenient door.

"I just like to see the slaves dissatisfied and have to give in, and the pleasure of ravaging the rebels is more fun than anything else in the world," Shule has always been arrogant, and told his brother directly, "Potions puppet? I don't like that kind of waste, and I don't need it, and sooner or later, I will make all those who resist me on the mainland surrender under my feet out of fear."

"Don't let me see your shady inventions appear on my territory, I want living enemies and trembling slaves, not dead puppets!"

As everyone knows, Shu Le's strength position surpasses that of other princes in both the Demon Domain and the mainland, so as long as he does not agree, Hisaac's "Heart Eater Nine" will not be able to go ashore.

Hisaac was reluctant to let his efforts go to waste, but whether it was to maintain the raw material field or refine the medicine, it would cost money, and the sunk cost alone would make him unable to sleep in distress.

However, not everyone is so rigid, the greedy and unprincipled "Red Wing" Count Dacoolas is this kind of flexible demon, anyway, there is more than one territory by the sea, and the second prince can also achieve his goal by looking for him.

The Bloodline likes to capture their dependents by themselves and doesn't need too many puppets, so the goal of the Red Wing Earl is to make money, and the demand for addictive drugs is zero, as long as you use it, you can't quit, and it's a good thing to get rich.

However, the Red Wing Earl miscalculated the spending power of his territory, because the local nobles were all swept away by the demons, except that he did not have any decent magnates at all, and his demon subordinates did not need to take drugs at all.

In addition, it has become the norm for the earl to knock bones and suck the marrow in the territory, except for the merchants, the rest of the people in the territory are poor ghosts, there is no oil and water to scrape, and they can't afford to buy it if they want to.

The merchants who can do business in the coastal territory, which one of them are human spirits, and when they see the demons buying medicine, they know that they are uneasy and kind, not only do they not know how to use it, but they also dare not sell it outside the territory.

The demons ignore the peace treaty, it's a big deal to roll up and leave, the merchants go to various countries to do business, if something happens to sell medicine and is found in trouble by foreign countries or churches, the business can't be done or it's a trivial matter, maybe they will have to take their lives.

Therefore, when Vincent came to the territory, he was surprised to find that the cellar of the lord's castle contained a pile of potions that could be shot hundreds of times in previous lives, but not only was it not popular in the territory, but even the merchants were extremely afraid of it.

There are no goods in the world that cannot be used to make money, only merchants who cannot make money, and what Dakras is too lazy to take away from him is found in Vincent's hands.

I don't know if Hissack did it intentionally or unintentionally, but this thing is actually an extremely effective analgesic drug, which can effectively relieve pain in a short time and make people forget their fears.

If it were to be made into medicine for the army and sold to the armies of the kingdoms, Vincent estimated that Hisaac would wake up laughing in his dreams now, and the bewitching flowers of the Hearteater would bloom all over his territory.

Maybe the side effects of the potion are great, but my small territory is going to be unlucky in the early stage.

"These medicines should be kept properly and not allowed to be used out of the warehouse without my approval." The lord commanded his subordinates, "Although it is a poisonous potion, it is irresponsible to talk about toxicity without measuring, and we must recruit volunteers among the prisoners of war to conduct drug clinical trials."

If you don't talk about morality, you won't be kidnapped by morality, which is also one of the benefits of being a demon.

The Herodians did not talk about martial virtues, and Vincent did everything they could, and they were also to blame.

Are the nobles of Herod tough guys who are not afraid of pain? Although each of them once boasted of their iron bones and unyielding loyalty, no one dared to be a good man under the revenge of the orcs.

Don't pay? Then come and be a volunteer, the treatment medicine is enough, and the curative effect is good, and there is no additional charge.

In order to increase the value of the potion, Vincent also specially rubbed the golden glass vial and named it "Pain Relief", telling the oral method to Herod, who was beaten and bitter

Aristocrat.

One at a time, recycled after use, disinfected after cleaning, and recycled, clean and hygienic.

The aristocrats are all knowledgeable, and when they look at the crystal clear and chic medicine bottle, they know that it is not an ordinary medicine, at least in terms of appearance, worthy of their noble status.

As for the danger of the drug, in fact, there is no choice, the demon clan really wants to harm people, and there is no need to make a lot of trouble to make a luxury poison to toss people.

Sure enough, let the lower-ranking nobles take the drug experiment first, and no one was poisoned after repeating it several times, and the people who took it said that it tasted good and the effect was remarkable, surpassing all the painkillers they had ever seen.

What's more, he also said that after drinking the medicine, he also took it to relieve his rheumatic joint pain for many years.

The miracle medicine of "painkiller" became famous among the nobles of Herodes, and for a while everyone was full of curiosity and wanted to see the effect of the elixir.
