Chapter 201 Slave Market

"Grevith, move more coolly!"

When Pat saw Gervis stand up, he really didn't expect that Gervis had such a hobby. After all, it takes some courage to kill orcs.

"Haha, Pat, just watch!"

Gervis smiled at Pat, then followed his servants to the underground passage. Before entering the arena, Gervis handed six gold coins to the person in charge of the arena before entering.

"Brave! Brave! Brave!..."

As long as the pig-headed leader died, those who placed the right bets would be able to collect their prize money, so they cheered for Gervis without any hesitation.

When Gervis walked onto the stage, several demon hunters, although tired, still bowed respectfully to Gervis. After all, Gervis was their financial sponsor, and the six gold coins Gervis paid accounted for half of their income from the battle today.

Choke~

At this moment, the pig-headed man leader had been pulled up by the witcher team with a rope. Gervis nodded to several witcher members and did not delay any longer. He directly drew the long sword from his waist. The mithril long sword flashed coldly under the sunlight. Before everyone could react, the cold light flashed by, and Gervis completed a smooth sword swing. In the blink of an eye, the long sword was put back into the scabbard by Gervis.

After completing the slash in a graceful and elegant manner, Gervis walked down the platform without looking back and returned to the underground passage.

One second, two seconds, three seconds! Click...

When Gervis walked down the platform, it took a full three seconds for the pig-headed man's head to fall from his fat body, and the spurting blood dyed the entire platform red.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

When the pig-headed man's head fell off, the audience, who were originally a little confused, finally reacted. Everyone stood up and cheered loudly.

In the past, there were many 'brave men' who killed orc leaders who were higher in realm than Gervis, and some who were more brutal than Gervis. There were even some who chopped orcs in half. However, Gervis was the first one who was so cool and graceful.

…

"Haha! Gervis, I have to say, you look really handsome today! I guess there are many noble ladies here who are attracted to you!"

"I paid 6 gold coins, so of course I have to look good! Haha!"

Gervis was in a good mood at the moment. Although he paid 6 gold coins, he got 1 energy point in return. This was already a big profit. Gervis even had the idea of ​​settling down in Lindong City.

1 energy point can be used to search for 1 Elf Bug Amber, and the market price of Elf Bug Amber is generally around 50 gold coins. This is a huge profit. What's more important is that it can also be exchanged for energy points!

"Come on, Pat, let's go to the slave market!"

Gervis had just learned from the servants of the arena that there was only one match today, which made his plan to gain one or two more energy points go awry.

After coming out of the arena, Gervis did not go to pick up his unicorn, but walked directly to the slave market with Pat.

The slave market in Winterfell is actually very simple. The outer wall is made of wooden stakes and is only two meters high. There are several towers around it, which should be used to prevent slaves from escaping. There are no buildings in the market, only tents. Some of them even have only a roof, which can barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.

"Pat, is this slave market run by the Jones family?"

Gervis was a little curious. The slave market was also a relatively important economic trade in this world, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"You can say it is, and you can say it is not. Except for the annual southern expedition, when the Jones family and our vassals have slaves to sell, usually there are some slave traders selling here. The Jones family just provides the venue."

Pat was already accustomed to the slave market, and he had no intention of buying slaves, so he walked side by side with Gervis quite comfortably, and only took a closer look at some stalls displaying young female slaves when passing by.

"Grevith, are you planning to buy slaves today?"

After taking his eyes off the female slave behind him, Pat asked Gervis curiously.

"I do want to buy some slaves. The population of my territory is too small. There is not enough manpower. Not to mention farming, I have nowhere to recruit a few qualified guards!"

Although Gervis is now pursuing a trade route and does not have such a great demand for population like other lords, the population of his territory is too small to even meet the needs of trade and basic construction, so he has no choice but to buy a few slaves back.

If all the wine is sold this time, Gervis will have a lot of money, and building the territory will be his next main task.

And more importantly, the summer harvest has begun, which means that this year's autumn expedition will be launched soon. If Gervis cannot arrange the population and territory construction before the autumn expedition, then everything will have to wait until next year to start building the territory.

There are three duchies in this continent. In addition to the Duchy of Jean, there are also the Duchy of Threads and the Duchy of Alban. Every autumn, when the second season seedlings are planted, the king will issue a conscription order to summon all his vassals to launch an attack on the Duchy of Alban!

Following the king's conscription order, the vassals below would also issue conscription orders to their own vassals, and the order would be passed down layer by layer. In the end, small nobles like Gervis and Pat could not escape the conscription order and were required to lead troops to fight a two-month war for their monarch.

When the war ended and they returned, it was almost winter. Other people's territories could still rely on the winter to recuperate, but when Gervis returned, he immediately faced the invasion of orcs.

…

While talking to Pat, Gervis suddenly saw a slave stall that was more suitable for his needs, so he stopped in front of it.

The slave stalls in front mostly sold children in their teens and young women, but this stall had both men and women, young and old. Gervis wanted to sell some slaves for farming or building territory, so of course he would not choose women or children alone.

In fact, what Gervis wanted most was a serf with a family. Such slaves would be much more obedient due to the constraints of a family, avoid accidents, and be willing to work diligently.

"My lords, see if there are any that you like. These are the authentic people of Orben. They are hardworking and good at everything they do. Moreover, we have been trained and are extremely obedient!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing Gervis stopping in front of his stall, the slave trader immediately put on an attentive smile and bowed and nodded enthusiastically to Gervis and Pat.

"What are you talking about Orben? These slaves of yours are all dirty and look like they don't have much flesh. We can't even see their faces. I'm telling you, don't cheat us, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Of course Pat was not polite to the slave traders and he said something unhappily to them.

"Yes! Yes! Don't worry, sirs. I am a very honest person. How dare I lie to you, sirs?"

The slave trader was not angry at Pat's bullying, and still had a flattering smile on his face.

Although these small slave traders were secretly supported by some small nobles, they themselves had no status and certainly did not dare to offend the nobles. Moreover, for those in their line of work, Pat's words of pressure were really nothing.

After speaking kindly to Pat, the slave trader turned around, raised the whip in his hand and hit several slaves whose hands and feet were shackled with iron chains in the stall.

Fortunately, these slaves were also goods, and the slave traders certainly would not damage the goods in front of the customers. The whip only made a crack in front of the slaves, and then the slave traders scolded them.

"All of you, straighten your faces and let the two masters carefully choose you. If the two masters are not satisfied with you today, you will not have dinner tonight and you will have to stand for the whole night!"

The slave traders were very cruel to their slaves. They changed their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. They scolded the serfs and were only satisfied when they saw that the serfs finally moved a little and raised their heads.

But at this moment, a whimpering sound suddenly came from the stall.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

"Why are you bringing a little girl with you?"

It was not until then that Gervis and Pat discovered that a little girl of two or three years old was squatting at the feet of one of the slaves. The girl was probably frightened by the loud noise of the whip and was sobbing softly.

Seeing this, Pat immediately asked in surprise.

Well, this book has 490,000 words! You can go to the investment betting activity to bet! Because you can settle the account when it reaches 500,000 before it reaches Sanjiang!

I can probably earn a few coins by just betting on "not optimistic"! Haha! Poor me, I bet 88 lucky bags on myself, and lost everything!!!
