Black Dragon Code

Chapter 371 Imperial Merchant

In the afternoon, Andre was standing in the room, biting a cigar, looking through the window at the hard-working slaves outside.

His attire is completely different from the traditional costumes of the central trading city-state. He is dressed in a plain black gown, with only the claw-like black wing mark drawn on his shoulders. The new instructions from the upper layer will be implemented immediately.

Although the trading city-state has abolished slavery in name, the root of this evil exists in name only. Under the drive of the system, the great slave owners of the city-state changed their appearance and changed their names and are still active in the trading market. Andre put down his cigar, and they Calling the human beings outside as workers, but in fact they are still slaves that can be bought and sold freely, and that's why he came here.

"Mr. Andre, you said that your country needs a large number of laborers in order to mine mines." The big slave owner in front of him looked at the request made by Andre, and asked with some doubts: "This is hard work, but Why do you single out these underage children?"

"It's too far to go to the north, I don't want them to rebel on the road, children are easy to manage." Andre took a sip of tea and said calmly: "And get rid of these annoying little things , aren't you happy?"

"Somewhat."

The other party smiled. The slave owner who has been able to make his business the largest in the trading city-state and has survived for so many years is certainly not a mediocre idiot. He knew that the other party's words were just an excuse: "These children are precious wealth. Well, I can wait for them to grow up and then sell them at a high price. If some of these children have the talent to become a professional, then they will make a lot of money. You must know that with such a large number, there may be someone who has the potential to become a spellcaster. "

"These children are just growing up. They eat a lot and are disobedient. I don't believe you have such patience."

Andre shook his head noncommittally: "They are the most indispensable things in trade costs. Don't you want to exchange these slaves for the most precious gold here?"

"Having said that." The slave owner glanced at the laborer outside the window: "But I lost money on this sale, so... I have to pay more."

The two parties sang together, and it was exactly the same as the scene of discussing the goods. After some haggling, they finally reached an agreement. Since it was the first cooperation, both parties had more or less concerns, so the transaction volume this time was not high. The price of thirty gold bought a thousand people, all of them were children under the age of fifteen, and the youngest was even nine years old.

Andre looked at the servants under the slave owner's command to help him count the children. Although he didn't know the purpose of the empire's purchase of slaves from other places, the order to only buy children in the trade was correct-these children became slaves and had nothing to rely on. If Blackwing can rescue them from the sea of ​​suffering, it is tantamount to their reborn parents,

After arriving in the Northland, life is a long way to go, and the only thing they can rely on is the empire, and there is no way out other than that.

I have been in this business for a long time, and the efficiency is naturally high. Soon, the thousand people needed by Andre were counted out, and the private army of the slave owner was responsible for escorting them to the port of the trading city-state, the sea route from the North West Sea to the Central Inland Sea It has been opened, and the trade between the two sides is much more convenient.

The children arrived at the port in a queue in a daze. They were terrified of the army and the overseers. Obviously, they had suffered a lot before. Whether it was in the previous northern countries, trading city-states or other places, human beings have always been strict with slaves. Harsh, almost do not regard them as another kind of creature, hang and flog them at every turn.

After a while, the port was full of dense slaves. Many older children looked up at the big ship flying the black dragon flag. Although they might have realized something, they were at a loss and could do nothing. Sobbed softly.

The two children who were closer were whispering, and Andre had very good ears, and he could faintly hear their whispering along the wind in the harbor.

"Sister, there are dragons painted on this boat, are they going to give us as a gift to the evil dragon to eat?"

"No, this is to...don't worry, I will protect you."

Andre followed the voice and found a girl with curly hair and a scar on her face comforting a younger boy in a low voice. At this time, the army leader had come to him: "Do you want to untie the chain?"

Every slave wore an iron chain around his neck, in addition to heavy handcuffs and shackles. Andre thought for a while and sighed: "Not for now, let them board the ship."

"A set of twenty silver shackles."

The army leader reminded with a smile, and then signaled to his companions, the overseers then brutally pushed these children onto the pier, and all disturbances caused by uneasiness along the way would be severely beaten.

Twenty large ships, ten merchant ships and ten frigates stood quietly. A wooden table was placed in front of each gangway leading to the merchant ship. A few humans in black shirts were sitting behind the table, waiting for the slaves with paper and pens. 's arrival

The child slaves were divided into ten rows. When they came to the table, they were asked the prepared questions one by one, and then the black shirts were responsible for the registration and records. Those slave children who had known each other would be scattered and assigned to different ships, such as The pair of siblings before broke out into a burst of crying and rioting.

The progress of this process was extremely slow. The army leader waited, then frowned impatiently and asked, "This is going to be done tomorrow? Why is it so troublesome?"

Andre didn't look at him, but stared at the slowly moving people on the deck and said: "The transaction is completed, these are now the private property of Northland, the money has been paid to your people, if you don't want to wait, you can go ahead leave."

"Well, I look forward to seeing you next time."

After hearing these words, the army leader led the people away without hesitation, and armed men immediately poured out from the frigate to take over their tasks, and the flashing faces of several orcs and flying apes once again attracted the attention of the slaves. Team panic.

"Looks like we'll meet again soon."

Andre shook his head. As an imperial businessman, he must carefully implement the instructions of the royal court, and among these slaves, the royal court officials are determined not to want northerners. If they are not northerners, they will have no origins in the north, strangers, and no one to rely on. The unreliable environment is more conducive to the control of the empire.

A number of about forty northerners were selected, and Andre will need to go to negotiate a replacement later. The Black Dragon Emperor is a great dictator. He didn't buy these children for his own charity, but to cultivate a group of outstanding children. Therefore, in the registration process just now, people who are blood related, familiar, or even just had a conversation with each other will be dispersed and assigned to different ships In the world, there is no longer any chance of contact, in order to make them become isolated and helpless individuals, who can only quietly wait for the arrival of the savior.
