Port Dum

In the afternoon, the port, which has just emerged in recent years, began to come alive.

Ships and sailors from all over the world stop here, the taverns are filled with sailors and captains who speak various languages, and the harbor is full of people in all kinds of dirty clothes begging for a living on the docks.

Every year, caravans and merchant ships from various countries gathered here, and these large numbers of merchants brought with them all kinds of goods, from commodity livestock to slaves.

The recent merchandise quota issued by the Land of Stars, as well as the government decree limiting the number of times in places such as bathhouses, have no effect on most people.

The weather here is cold, and people naturally don't like to take a bath, and they don't like to spend money to take a bath.

It costs two copper coins to go to the bath at a time, which is equivalent to four palm-sized pieces of mixed bread.

Men prefer to bathe in the sea and in the river, and only women go to the bathhouse, and they always go in groups or early in the morning.

The sailors on the dock soon ran out of people, and the nearby steward soon went to the tavern and called more than a dozen people over.

Every winter is the high season, and caravans from the west bring wool and linen, some sun-dried fruit, and plenty of grain.

This year, there is much more grain in various places than last year, and Western merchants have no place to sell grain, so they all sell it to the Land of Stars in exchange for the iron tools and goods they need.

The dock workers of the port of Ferry would make some money here to carry goods, and the money they earned could go to buy alcohol, meat and eggs, as well as cloth and furniture that women liked.

Most of the people here were slaves of the Prophet and had to work for three years before they could be freed.

After paying the money, if you are lucky, you can leave ten copper coins, if you are unlucky and can't find a job, you will work for nothing, and you will not have to pay a copper coin of labor tax if you earn less than one copper coin.

Usually you can earn seven or eight copper coins, because this is the land of stars, and merchants from all over the world gather here, so you don't have to worry about having no goods to carry.

Soon after a cargo ship left, another large ship approached after queuing for more than an hour.

Nearby porters gathered in front of this two-meter-high, six-meter-wide, and more than thirty-meter-long ship to wait.

There weren't many boxes or merchandise piled up on the ship, and as soon as the ship docked, a few scary-looking soldiers were watching.

The porters on the ground also looked up at the men.

Soon a fat blonde man squeezed out of the board.

The fat man with short blonde hair quickly said something to the people around him.

The porters in the neighborhood couldn't understand them.

The planks of the merchant ship were lowered, and the fat blonde man in a blue cloth robe and a wide cloth belt disembarked from the ship, accompanied by a few soldiers.

Salvatore straightened up his clothes, which had been torn apart by the sea breeze, and looked at the sailors on the ground.

The men soon dispersed to carry boxes of food from other large ships, and to carry truckloads of fresh water buckets from wooden carts onto another large ship.

El Salvador was somewhat surprised.

"The people here didn't even make trouble, and they didn't come to scare me when they saw that I had money?"

Salvador quickly remembered that this was not the port he had visited before, but a god-given place led by the rumored Prophet of Raven Feather, who had the name of mercy.

It has a strong army, a variety of high-end goods, cuisine and technology, and it is not exclusive at all.

El Salvador didn't come here to take refuge, this time to do business.

***

Lawrence, who was building the ship Revenge at the shipyard, heard the report from his men and quickly explained what he was doing, washed his hands and put on his makeup, and went to the church.

Lawrence takes Sophia and Kassandra to the Ferry Harbor Church, where they see the merchant in the conference room.

Salvatore learned of Lawrence's identity from the Crowfeather Cloak, and quickly flattered him: "Merciful prophet, I am a merchant from the southern Elasso tribe, Salvador. ”

Lawrence walked into the conference room, sat down in his seat and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, guest from afar, I heard that you brought a group of slaves from the South?" ”

Salvador nodded quickly.

"Yes, there has been a rebellion in the Gizso tribe further south in my country, and we have captured a group of rebellious noble slaves, and want to exchange these knights and nobles for food and weapons."

The goods of El Salvador were slaves, a population that grew up in the rest of the kingdom.

Lawrence thought for a few seconds, but couldn't remember what this place was.

"Do they say what I say here, just like you?"

Salvatore looked embarrassed, "Please forgive me, for a long time, there have been relatively few people in the Kingdom of Loven, and those people can only speak the language of their Kingdom. ”

Lawrence really wanted people from other worlds to speak Chinese, so that there would be no communication problems.

But this is not realistic, there are so many different languages in this world that I feel like there are at least a hundred.

Fortunately, now that the country of stars is getting stronger and stronger, the number of people who can speak the language here is also increasing.

At present, the aristocracy of Western countries has begun to learn the language and script here, and some far-sighted aristocrats in the south are also learning.

Salvatore saw Lawrence's reluctance.

"O merciful prophets, these people who want to kill their kings are a group of hopeless sinners."

"If you are merciful, there is no place for them here, then we will have to sell them to slave houses in the south."

Lawrence looked at Kassandra, "Do you know Gizsobe?" ”

Kassandra shook her head, "It sounds like a remote country, and it's a small country with a population of hundreds of thousands, and we don't have anything to do with it. ”

Lawrence quickly looked at El Salvador, "What is the approximate price?" ”

Salvador looked delighted.

"It's not expensive, please take a look at the goods first, this time there are twenty-six people in total, there are knights, there are witches, if you all need them, we want to get weapons, armor, food, wine and other goods."

Lawrence wanted to see it even more when he heard that there was a witch.

"Let's take a look."

"Yes, merciful prophet!"

Salvador quickly brought people over.

There were twenty-six men, twenty men, and six women.

These people come from the same family, ranging from old men who look like heads of the family to witches who are calm but not afraid of death.

His face was calm, but since he was standing here honestly, without scolding, and without any traces of violent resistance on his body, he was probably afraid of death.

If you are not afraid of death, you will die long ago, and generally those who fail in rebellion know what will happen to them, and they will die early and be relieved as soon as possible, so as not to be abused and humiliated.

Twenty men, all with their hands tied and chains on their feet, looked hungry for days.

There were a few men who looked powerful, the kind of sturdy men who knew at a glance that they were warriors.

There were emaciated old women, but also thin little girls who looked like they were dying, and down-and-out aristocratic women.

Lawrence's attention was on the married woman with a calm face.

Sophia reminded in a low voice, "Master, it's the little girl." ”

Lawrence quickly shifted his attention from the beautiful aristocrat to the little girl on the ground.

This is a beautiful little girl, with a pitiful delicate body, weak and pale arms and a face that looks like she is dying, but there is hatred in her dark eyes that cannot be concealed.

After making eye contact with Lawrence, the girl quickly shifted her gaze to hide the hatred in her heart.

At the age of about nine or ten years old, it is already time to be sensible.

Lawrence was a little reluctant to take on this kind of mess.

This kind of aristocratic slaves are not easy to deal with, they are not loyal after they have eaten and drunk, but have stronger and broader ambitions.

Both men and women think about the former aristocratic privileges, and it would seem wronged to let them be a person here.

Lawrence quickly said, "Salvador, you ask this girl, would she be willing to stay alone?" ”

El Salvador didn't want this business to go to waste, and it had come so far from the sea in the hope of making more money.

"Merciful prophet, she is willing to stay, and her family is certainly willing!"

Lawrence was a little apprehensive and didn't really want to take in the rest.

But soon Lawrence looked at the sturdy men and suddenly remembered that he was actually short of men here.

Let's stay and spread the leaves, send two to Reglo, a few more to the Viper Tribe, and a few more to the Snow Cave Man, wouldn't that be fine?

The problem of close relatives on the side of the snow cave people is serious, and it is easy to exterminate the clan without injecting some fresh genes.

Lawrence quickly agreed to all of the requests, and this time the men were all stronger knights, equivalent to the physical qualities of Andrew and Fryce.

Andrew and Redbeard have also been taken prisoner, and as long as they are hungry for a while, even the strongest warriors must be obedient.

Lawrence traded a hundred weapons and armor and a boatload of food for these twenty-six slaves who could not speak the language.

The girl's name is Heidi, and her sorcery ability is water, which can be summoned from anywhere, and can be used to replenish the ship with fresh water.

Fresh water can be replenished from one tank at a time, and it can be used four or five times a day.

Such a good drinking water Ji was exchanged for only two spears and a set of armor. (End of chapter)
