The private room is not a suitable place to entertain distinguished guests. Gawain chose to meet lesno in the reception hall not far away.
Looking at the heavily armed soldier in front of him, relevant information emerged in Gaowen's mind.
Lesno, born as a serf, has no last name.
His origin can no longer be tested, but as a serf, he was bought by a slave owner at the age of 13 and trained as a gladiator. Then he played in the arena for three years and became a famous Gladiator champion in the imperial capital.
No one knows what happened next. In short, the slave owner died, and he took over all his slaves and gladiators and became a new slave owner.
Instead of fighting, he continued to train gladiators and trained a large number of powerful men. Based on this, he began to get involved in the bulk slave trade. Five years later, he became one of the most famous slave owners in the Empire and a hot businessman.
He has long plundered the aborigines in the burning desert and the slaves of the orc empire. He has a good relationship with the military of the Empire and the principality. He is a guest of many big people. He has access to a large number of prisoners of war, including 100 Orc prisoners of war on the sea emperor.
Such a person, whose sphere of influence covers the whole empire and is intertwined, cannot easily offend. In terms of skill and influence, he is no less than those powerful earls who have a large number of territories.
In fact, he himself was also awarded the title of "Lord of honor of the Empire". He was not hereditary all his life and joined the aristocracy.
Lesno is tall and powerful, has experienced too many vicissitudes, and is calm and introverted.
He is very dangerous. He is a combat master. With luxurious equipment, his comprehensive strength has reached level 9, and he also takes more than a dozen followers with good strength.
Of course, those attendants were not allowed to enter the North County monastery, and lesno was obviously not afraid, because Gawain had no reason to deal with him.
Obviously, because he has been dealing with adults for a long time, lesno knows the set of nobles very well. At least in terms of etiquette, he is no worse than any nobles who have received relevant training since childhood.
It has to be said that the aristocratic set really makes people feel very comfortable, at least Gawain has this feeling——
Of course, he won't be himself.
"Are you used to living, Lord?"
Gawain changed a more comfortable posture, silently cast "thought stealing" and smiled: "if you don't receive well, you can tell Marcus that he will satisfy you."
"Beijun is a great city, and you are a great man, your highness. It's very clean and comfortable here. Even the air is much better than Yangfan port... It's not polite, your highness."
Lesno showed just the right emotion: "such a city, I can't bear to destroy it in the war."
"War? No. Lord, you know and I know the existence of atonement island. No matter how powerful the fleet of Qiandao principality is, it can't enter. If the ancient white dragon of White Dragon Island dares to fly over and the main gun of Haihuang is waiting for it, I will be happy to use its blood to enhance the white dragon blood in my body. It comes from its blood."
Gao Wen smiled and asked the maid to bring tea in and made an invitation gesture: "good tea from Sphinx, imported from the mysterious East, and tea sets are also from the East. A set will cost hundreds of gold coins. It's about to catch up with the same amount of gold. Tea bricks are more expensive... Have a taste?"
"Sphinx invited us to drink... I heard that he spent his money and borrowed money everywhere to get those tea sets and tea bricks. As a result... To tell the truth, even if you let him go back, he would not dare to go back... He would be hacked to death by the creditor... Including me!"
Lesno pretended to pick up the tea cup, drank it in one gulp, chewed a few mouthfuls of tea, then swallowed it hard, but said, "I still don't like this food... It's too bitter."
Gao Wen smiled, took up his tea cup and blew it gently. Then he tasted it and said with a smile, "don't worry, I won't move the slaves you brought. Yours is yours. Of course, if you are willing to sell them to me, it will be better... The price is easy to say."
"Thank you very much, your excellency Gao Wen."
Lesno, a big man, obviously didn't care about a hundred Orc prisoners of war, but he still expressed his gratitude in a polite way.
Gao Wen was always polite. He couldn't get to the point. After all, he decided to take the initiative to speak——
It's not that I'm impatient, but because this is the North County and the other party's territory. I finally have to express a certain passivity, which is better for myself.
Think about it, He said: "Your Excellency Gao Wen, the atonement island is very large. I believe that with your ability, the whole atonement island will soon be yours. This island has rich resources enough to feed a country, but it is short of people - you don't need to refute. You can't go to war with the Principality of Qiandao in a short time, and a Haihuang can't fight a country. In fact, as far as I know, the second fleet of the Principality of Qiandao has been destroyed Come to this sea area and constantly monitor Yom Kippu. Once the Haihuang leaves Yom Kippu, it will not end well. "
Gawain smiled and said nothing.
Lesno is right.
The Thousand Island principality can't attack the atonement island for the time being, and there's no news about the blood moon mage tower and the eternal prison, but Gao Wen can't challenge the Thousand Island principality just by relying on a sea emperor. That's looking for death.
If a whole fleet, or more fleets, were mobilized, the artillery would roar together, not to mention the legendary ship protection barrier, even the demigod level would still explode!
Of course, Gao Wen can blow up Yangfan port with a long-range gun, but the only orange shell that can kill the ancient dragon needs to be used, and it may not have much effect. Yangfan port also has a defense barrier, and the final result is mostly a loss of a bottom card.
It doesn't make any sense.
In a short period of time, we will mainly recuperate and expand our power.
This requires people.
Atonement Island lacks nothing but people.
It's not easy to want people, because all the surrounding territories and people in the territories have masters, either from the Principality of Qiandao, or from other principalities, kingdoms, or even empires. Gao Wen doesn't dare to plunder people in other people's territories. It's going to war!
The best way is to buy slaves and increase the population under the established rules.
That's why Gawain promised to meet resno.
"I like the directness of soldiers. Let's put aside the identity of nobility and let's have the next conversation as soldiers - you can see that I am also a soldier."
Gawain smiled, poured a glass of water and handed it to lesno: "I hope our next conversation will be as happy as now, under the witness of Azeroth gods."
"Of course."
Lesno took the teacup with both hands and said, "please show mercy to your excellency Gawain... Hello, me too."
