You have to know that there are 10,000 soldiers on the Demon Shark this time. If each of them can recruit ten people, there will be 100,000 people in total.
That would be more than enough to arrange for work on the island.
In the future, if the village on the island is upgraded, you can go to other cities to recruit.
He can also select some of the most honest and upright people among them to go to the Gem Island.
Soon there were 10,000 soldiers spreading the news throughout the slums, and more and more people joined.
Until later, Fengyun was a little surprised.
Quickly order them to stop working.
If we don't stop working now, the boat will be full.
"Alright, get on board with the recruits and don't call for anyone else."
Fengyun was really surprised when he saw the huge queue in the slums.
Using the Magic Shark as a gimmick, the effect is surprisingly good.
But when they took these civilians away,
The city lord is here.
"I said, what are you doing?"
Fengyun looked at him without saying anything, and walked straight forward to hand the city lord one million gold coins.
"One silver per person. These people are a burden to you anyway."
When the city lord saw so much money, he accepted it with a smile.
Fengyun took away one million people this time, which was exactly the number he could accept.
These people really exceeded the capacity of his royal city, and keeping them would not be a good thing.
It would be better for him to take it away.
This time, not only can we get rid of redundant civilians, but we can also earn gold coins. Why not do it?
“Hahaha, if you want someone, you can just say hello to me. I thought you came in to rob.”
"Don't worry, City Lord. We have a partnership. Why would I come here to rob? I won't let you suffer any loss. If you come to rob someone again in the future, I will buy it back at the same price."
"Hahaha, no problem."
These Vikings made a living by looting.
As long as they can keep the city running smoothly, it means there will be a constant supply of surplus labor.
After all, not everyone can become a sailor, a fisherman, or someone useful to the city lord.
Those who are eliminated can only survive by cheating, deceiving and stealing.
The fewer of these people there are, the better for the city lord.
Now that someone is taking them away, how could he object?
The city lord then asked:
"Are you really able to take all the people I snatched away?"
"Of course."
Fengyun patted his chest and promised.
"Well, come with me."
"Is there anyone else asking me to collect it?"
"Yes, this man is no ordinary person. His life is quite legendary. But his price is a bit high."
After hearing what the city lord said, Fengyun became curious again.
Money is of no importance to him, as long as one is talented, he is not afraid to spend it.
"Hahaha, I like people like this. We can talk about money later. Take me to see it first."
"Okay, follow me."
"Where is he now?"
"I'm locking him up."
Fengyun was a little worried now.
Since he is holding him, it means that he is still in a forced state.
If he buys it, the other party may not be willing to work for him.
Then he would lose everything.
"Then how can I convince him? Why did you catch him?"
Fengyun asked tentatively.
"Actually, there's a leader from the group I defeated. I originally wanted to subdue him, but he refused to surrender. He's been imprisoned until now. I wanted to keep him imprisoned forever, but he's so stubborn that I can't keep him there forever. Since you need talent, I might as well sell him to you."
Fengyun's heart sank.
This person surrendered like this, how could I possibly convince him to submit to me?
"You think too highly of me, don't you? I'm afraid even if I buy him, I'll just have to keep him locked up."
"Hahaha, that's not necessarily true. Maybe he has a special liking for you big man? He hates me, not you."
Feng Yunken would not listen to the city lord's nonsense, and he would not go to him so rashly.
"But if I go in to find him now, doesn't that mean you and I are in the same group? How could he not hate me?"
"Actually, you don't have to worry. I've thought of it all. When the time comes, you can sneak in and say you're going to save him. He'll definitely go with you."
"Is this possible?"
"Don't worry, I won't be angry. I just want to sell him and make some money. You can say whatever bad things about me you want."
"Okay, I'll try. But if he doesn't come with me, I won't pay."
"Okay, no problem. I don't charge you as long as you don't take him away. Even if you do, he's not expensive, just 100,000 gold coins. You can give it to me later, or deduct it from our joint project."
It seems that the city lord really wants to sell him, so Fengyun doesn't need to worry about it and can go and see it first.
The city lord brought Fengyun all the way to the dungeon of the royal city.
This is usually where important people are imprisoned. Anyone who can be sold for 100,000 gold coins is not an ordinary person.
"Well, go ahead. I won't go in. The one at the back is Siegfried."
"Siegfried?"
Fengyun shook his head and had no memory of this person at all.
As for what legends he had, no one knew anything about it.
He didn't have time to think about it.
At this time, the dungeon door opened and the stench of rotting corpses filled the air.
Fengyun suppressed his nausea and went inside.
As we walked along, we saw that there were not many people in the dungeon, and all of them were skinny.
They all looked like they were dying.
He didn't approach to chat with her, so as not to upset the city lord.
When they arrived at the innermost cell, Fengyun saw a man sitting on a haystack.
He was not as listless as the people outside, but rather very strong.
It seems that the city lord did not let him starve during the time he was imprisoned.
Fengyun asked cautiously:
"Siegfried?"
The other party just raised his eyelids slightly and asked:
"Hmm? You know me?"
Fengyun smiled and said:
"I didn't know him, but I do now."
The other party didn't even have the interest to continue talking to Fengyun and directly ordered him to leave.
"Oh, what do you want from me? Did the city lord ask you to persuade me to surrender? Go back, I won't surrender."
Fengyun originally wanted to prepare a set of excuses, but he felt that any lie would eventually need to be covered up with ten lies, and there was no way to do this.
Then tell the truth:
"To be honest, the city lord originally wanted me to pretend to be your rescuer. But I don't want to lie to you. Since I've come to you, I'll be sincere. He sold you to me. If you're willing, you can come with me. If you're willing, you can stay here."
The other party then looked up at Fengyun seriously and said:
"Who are you? Why would the City Lord sell me to you? What is your relationship with the City Lord?"
