Chapter 584: Local tyrants
After leaving the Tower of the Rock Mage, Ron Roslin led his followers to the slave market in Little Rock, where they visited the Colosseum to observe two gladiator performances, including a human-beast cage fight and a three-way scuffle.
The lion with its fangs plucked out of its fangs, though still in its prime, had lost the sharpness of the king of beasts, and if it had not been for the burning hunger in its belly, which drove it to squeeze the last of its strength out of its bones for the food to be fed and please the spectators, the lion's fate would have been blood-stained in the Colosseum.
As for the three-way melee, due to the introduction of orcs from the Black Continent, it became a de facto two-sided battle, and it was pressed and beaten by the opponent who was also in the human camp, like a wheel war, even if there was a war shaman who was proficient in war songs, blessed his own brilliant war songs, and hung various negative states for his opponents, but because the "song power" was not reasonably distributed, it was consumed in advance, resulting in a large-scale rout.
Ron Lotlyn had no interest in exhibition matches, but was a little curious about the war shaman from the Black Continent to explore his spellcasting system, so he asked the owners of these orc slaves for the price.
Who knows, even an ordinary orc gladiator is twice as expensive as a human gladiator, and as for the Boer war shaman with two white calf horns, the slave owner simply states his attitude directly, not for sale!
Grace Lothlin touched the ashes of his nose, and naturally he did not have a good opinion of this hard-line slave gladiator boss, but he did not intend to use strong methods, after all, Little Rock is not a place where anyone can go wild, and once there is no order anywhere, chaos will ensue.
Saying goodbye to the orc gladiator slave owner as usual, Ron Loslin turned around and asked the other boss to procure slave gladiators. The followers under his command accumulated meritorious deeds and became permanent tenants of the Lotlyn family estate, gaining a certain amount of freedom, or at least being relieved of their slave status.
From then on, these four people could settle down in the Lotlyn Manor, have certain property rights, marry the daughter of the same tenant family, have a large number of children, choose one or two of the skills they have learned, and continue to serve the Losslin family.
Because of this, Embarrassment uses four vivid examples to first contact the slave gladiators in advance to soften their attitudes before going to the boss to discuss the purchase.
The most loot on the battlefield was the very rich private coffers of Emrence Losslin, and the income from the sale of gems at a discount alone was equivalent to a year's tax revenue in Little Rock, and the total wealth of the whole group could barely be said to be rivaled by the wealth.
As a result, the bosses of the slave gladiators fell one after another in the "extravagance of the local tyrants" offensive by Embarrass, and the slave gladiators they owned were even more active in self-promotion, completely different from the half-dead walking corpses of the past.
The slave owners were amazed by the extravagance of Grace Lothlin, and as long as the gladiators he looked at were the ones he looked at, they bought and bought as soon as they spoke, and did not care about money at all.
Such a high-roller naturally won the love of everyone, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a hundred slave gladiators under the command of Eun Loslin, which was equivalent to a squad full of noble private armies.
Later, at the slave market not far from the Colosseum, Losslin bought some indentured slaves who possessed a trade. They all went bankrupt for various reasons, and sold themselves to slave traders for a bite to eat.
If you are lucky, if you meet a good-hearted manor owner, you can still earn enough money to redeem yourself and regain your freedom, and even find a position in the manor, which can be regarded as revitalizing the family business. If they encounter harsh and harsh masters who squeeze the blood and sweat of indentured slaves, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Fortunately, the four tenants under his command spread the word that a new territory would be opened up in the future, and a large number of craftsmen would be needed to enrich the plantation-based estate.
As a result, there was some hope in the hearts of many indentured slaves, and they urged the slave traders to resell themselves to this young magician with unlimited potential.
The slave trader has a large number of indentured slaves in his hands, and every day when he opens his eyes and wakes up, he has to "serve" these masters with unique value to eat, drink, and Lazar, and he can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible, so he can go to the east coast to buy some cheap orc slaves for special conditioning and teaching, just like the gladiator bosses in the Colosseum.
The orc slaves from the Black Continent, every time they fight against human opponents in the Colosseum, they always do whatever it takes, even if they turn into violent beasts, they want to kill their villains, and the bloodthirstiness and brutality in the bones of the orcs are vividly swayed.
Audiences, mainly aristocrats, love to eat this set, watching human slave gladiators fight with this group of beasts, no matter who lives or dies, it can make their body and mind collectively happy, completely forgetting the inferior status of orcs.
As he walked far away, greeting and roaring, the news of Ron Lotlin, a magician planning to open up a new territory, quickly spread throughout Little Rock.
There are many veteran traders in the slave market who are quite optimistic about the youngest son of the Roslin family, after all, this is only the second generation of the barony, who has just gained a foothold on the border, and has no deep background, and dares to apply for pioneering, which is really ridiculous.
Unfortunately, more slave traders, whose eyes were blurred by the reflection of the gold of the gold coins, actually shipped a small amount of the indentured slaves in their hands to the young magician.
Naturally, Roslin took it all, even if the price was more expensive, it didn't matter, anyway, it was all picked up for nothing on the battlefield, and he didn't care how much it spent.
Rumor later spread that the young magician Awn Lotlyn's large purchases at the Colosseum and the slave market had caused the slave market in Little Rock to rise considerably.
Although these are just jokes from some industry insiders, it is undeniable that Embarrass's bottomless wealth and the large number of purchases in these two deep-water markets have indeed confused the minds of many private observers.
Benjamin Barton, the Earthshaker, is a core decision-maker in the Southern Wizards Alliance, and thanks to his role in the destruction of the Tyrannoum, his status has risen a lot, and he has more say than some of the masters who are good at research.
The magician's pioneering order, Master Benjamin Patton only applied to the Alliance, carefully explained the reasons before and after, and within an hour, the core decision-makers nodded and agreed through an online vote.
With the mage towers in various places as nodes, the spirits of the southern magicians are connected through the tower spirits, forming a network with a wide coverage, which has become the greatest achievement since the establishment of the mage alliance.
The mental barrier established by the Brain Protection Technique avoids too close in-depth knowledge between magicians, and maintains a certain degree of independence, and this extensive connection only exists on the surface of the brain's consciousness, and has not yet entered the deep subconscious realm.
Although some experts have planned to use the Wizard's Oath to make various agreements to set the rules for this network of infinite potential, and guide magicians everywhere from chaos to absolute neutrality or even neutral order, this move will only need the consent of a majority of the decision-making level to carry it out.
There are also some old people who have experienced the low ebb of magic elements, and they have deliberately proposed to restrain the violent magic elements and incorporate them into the elemental energy pool inside the mage tower, becoming the source of this vast network, and some people have begun to argue, and it is said that the test effect is not bad.
It has to be said that the southern magicians are building the prototype of the magic net, collecting every bit of precious magic essence and using it properly, which is far more wonderful than those wild mages who wander around and realize themselves and are self-taught.
After all, the weight of the magic element is limited, especially the four main elements, which are closely related to the world itself, and it is difficult to extract them from the other world, which is really a regret that is difficult to avoid.
