Chapter 17 Purchasing Serfs
On the right side of the Civic Center, there is a building that is only a few minutes smaller. Compared to the splendor of the Civic Center, this building is undoubtedly much simpler. However, there are more people here, and a large number of knights are filling it. , many of them are wearing the badges of nobles. Even Thor, a member of the Dressrosa family, does not seem to be so eye-catching here.
Of course it’s just not that eye-catching.
It does not mean that no one is paying attention.
As Thor and the other three stepped in, they were quickly greeted by attendants.
"Welcome, noble knight, what do you need?"
The attendant spoke with a respectful voice, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
“I heard that you have all kinds of slaves here, and I need to buy a group of serfs!”
Thor spoke in a gentle voice. He was not anxious to find the half-elf girl, but talked about another thing.
That is to buy serfs.
The construction of territory requires more than just knights.
The knights only ensure their own safety and sufficient force to develop.
Also needed a large number of serfs.
Construction, construction, naturally requires construction, and it is impossible to build without serfs.
“That’s natural!”
“We have the largest slave market in the entire Northland Province. The serfs we have are definitely the strongest and can definitely meet your needs.”
“You come with me!”
The attendant smiled and then led Thor forward.
Thor nodded, then led Ren and Steve to follow.
Soon, led by the attendants, the three of them arrived at the basement.
The magic crystal lights up.
Soon, figures bound by ropes in the iron cages came into view.
Each of them has a thin body, a sallow complexion, and even duller eyes. Each one's face is full of numbness, which is obviously not the same thing as the strong one mentioned by the attendant.
But Thor didn’t pay too much attention.
Just listen to what the slave traders say.
The free people in Loren City are like that, how can the slaves be better?
As long as it’s almost the same.
“Dear Sir, our serfs here are given ten silver coins each, and serfs here are given one silver coin each. I wonder how much you need?”
The attendant was not embarrassed at all, and spoke respectfully again, while motioning to the side.
Thor couldn't help but sigh after listening to the attendant's words.
Even though he had expected it, he was still a little shocked by the price.
In Frost Moon Province, the price of a serf is only about one silver coin, but the price of a serf here is ten times the price.
Although there are also ones with the same price.
But when he saw the serf worth one silver coin over there, Thor couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
If the slaves here are barely presentable, the slaves on the other side are completely different. They are all skinny, and many are missing arms and legs.
Thor couldn't help but shake his head.
“That’s it!”
“I need five hundred people!”
Thor thought for a moment, and then said his numerical value.
He has more than 400 knights. In theory, he can control even thousands of serfs.
However, you have to consider your own gold coins and the fact that the territory has not yet been developed.
Gold coins needless to say.
Although his father has provided a lot of support and gained a lot along the way, he only has more than 10,000 gold coins in his hands. These gold coins are many, but they are not that much for the development of the territory. He also needs to consider the subsequent development. , but there is no way to spend a lot of gold coins to buy serfs.
As for the territory, there is no need to say more.
Today’s territory is still in a wilderness. If a large number of people enter, survival will be a problem.
These are all things to consider.
But even so, such a big deal still made the attendant suddenly excited.
“Dear Sir, I will help you handle it immediately!”
“Five hundred serfs, a total of five thousand silver coins, a total of fifty gold coins!”
The attendant's expression became more and more respectful. Fifty gold coins is already a big deal, and his position may even be promoted, which is naturally enough to surprise him.
“By the way, besides these serfs, do you have any other slaves here?”
Seemingly thinking of something, Thor asked casually.
“Other slaves?”
The attendant was a little confused, but soon his eyes lit up and he understood what was going on.
"Of course, we have a group of good female slaves here today. Do you want to see them?"
The attendant spoke with a smile.
“Slave girl?”
"Let's see!"
Thor pretended to ponder, and then nodded in agreement.
"Please wait!"
The attendant spoke quickly and left in a hurry.
Thor also began to wait in anticipation.
A moment later.
The attendant came in again.
At this moment, a whole new group of slaves were brought behind him.
Compared to the previous slaves, these slaves are undoubtedly much neater.
They are all in “ragged clothes”, which makes people’s hearts beat.
“Gudong!”
Behind him, Ren couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Thor glanced at it and didn't pay too much attention. He was joking, he had never seen anything in his previous life.
The slave girl in front of me is like that.
Not to mention that these are not his goals.
“Let’s change the batch?”
Thor's calm voice spoke.
"yes!"
The attendant nodded quickly and quickly called for the personnel to change.
Soon a new batch was delivered.
“Dear Your Excellency, this batch is of the highest quality. Many of them are even selected from within the kingdom, and the prices are extremely affordable!”
The attendant spoke respectfully.
"next batch!"
Thor glanced at it casually, shook his head, and spoke again.
The attendant can only call the person again to change.
This time, after waiting for a long time, a new batch arrived.
Compared to the first group, which had forty or fifty people in the second group, the third group that appeared at this moment only had about twenty people.
Thor's eyes swept across and quickly settled on the third **** the right.
It was a girl wearing gray cloth. Her face was extremely ordinary and she did not stand out among the entire crowd.
When Thor looked over, the girl subconsciously lowered her head like the other slave girls.
"Dear Sir, this is the last batch. If you are still not satisfied, a group of orc female slaves will arrive in seven days."
The attendant spoke softly, with a sense of nervousness.
The price of female slaves is undoubtedly much higher than that of male slaves, but the two batches in front of him failed to attract Thor's fancy, and he didn't have much hope.
“That’s it!”
"and this!"
"In addition, the first batch is the fifth and seventh on the right side of the first row, the second row is the third, first, and ninth on the right, and the second batch is the third and sixth on the left in the first row. the twelfth.!"
"How much in total!"
Amidst his anxiety, Thor suddenly spoke.
(Monetary system: Ten iron coins are equal to one copper coin, one hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin)
