Chapter 207 Storm Infantry Regiment!
After borrowing 100 gold coins from Pat, Gervis took out 6 of them and put them in, then put the purse in his hand directly into the tray in the servant's hand. Soon the host respectfully brought an exquisite whip. Of course, the whips of the three types of soldiers looked different. The handle of Gervis's whip was carefully carved with the image of a spearman.
Whoever holds this whip in his hand will be absolutely obeyed by these 50 spearmen. In other words, when slave owners train slaves, they do not want them to be loyal to themselves, but to be loyal to the whip in Gervis's hand.
Of course, in addition to whips, slave owners also have various scepters and other items as tokens. It is with these tokens that the transactions of these slaves can be guaranteed to be valid and buyers can rest assured.

…
Since then, all three types of soldiers of Act have been sold, and they have made a lot of money. Although it consumed more than 900 people to train these slaves, in the eyes of the slave owners, the population is not valuable. Ordinary untrained serfs are sold for more than ten silver coins. 1,000 people are 15,000 silver coins, a total of 150 gold coins. Even if other expenses are added, it will not exceed 200 gold coins at most. However, the total amount sold today is 546 gold coins, and more than 350 gold coins have been directly earned.
Moreover, slave soldiers are only one of the commodities sold by slave owners. They also have other more distinctive slave commodities. It can be said that slave owners are richer than any small nobles, and the strength of their subordinates should not be underestimated.
The slave sale had been completed, and the nobles present all stood up and left. The few nobles who had been envious of the longbowmen just now took a reluctant look at the neatly arranged longbowmen before leaving, and then left the platform in disappointment.
Gervis and Kevin each walked towards their own slave soldiers. Gervis first came to the slave soldier who had been scratched by the host and took a look. The wound had been bandaged. A small wound of five centimeters should not cause any problems. Gervis felt relieved!
Then Gervis came to the fifty spearmen with a whip, raised the whip token in his hand high, and shouted: "From now on, you are under my command. My name is Gervis Gale, and my territory is on the southwest border of Jones Territory, called Storm Territory! Do you remember it?"
"Yes! Master!"
"Very good! From now on your name will be the Storm Lancers. Now line up in two rows and follow me!"
"Thank you, Master!"
The slave soldiers all responded to Gervis forcefully, calling him master, but their faces were still expressionless, as if they were just machines covered in human skins, and there was no color in their eyes.
Gervis was certainly not surprised. If there was any color in their eyes, it meant that they could not be 100% loyal and fearless.
After leaving the slave market, Gervis first went to retrieve his unicorn, then rode the unicorn and returned to Rose Castle with his newly purchased spearmen and Pat.
Today is the day when Gervase spends the most money. When he was in Stormwind Territory, Gervase could spend dozens of gold coins for several months. However, in Winterfell, hundreds or thousands of gold coins are really nothing.
Hundreds of gold coins were consumed in just a few minutes, and Kevin spent 440 gold coins in one go, which made Gervis want to make more money.
When Gervis arrived at the gate of Rose Castle with his fully-equipped spearmen, he was stopped by the guards. The guards certainly did not dare to let in so many soldiers. After Gervis revealed his identity, a guard immediately went to find Lina to report, and soon Lina walked out of the castle.
"Lord Gervis, did you just buy this?"
When Lina arrived at the castle gate and saw 50 spearmen, she immediately recognized the identities of these soldiers and asked in surprise.
"Yes, Housekeeper Lina, I went to the slave market today and saw these soldiers were pretty good, so I bought them. However, I have no place to feed and house them in the city, so I can only bring them to Rose Castle. Do you want me to inform Alice?"
Gervis had no choice. It was not easy to arrange food, accommodation and shelter for fifty people in Winterfell, so he could only take them back to Rose Castle and shamelessly eat and drink at his cheap wife's place for a few days.
"Sir, you are the Earl's husband, so of course you can bring them in to stay. I will arrange it for you later!"
After hearing what Gervis said, Lina did not hesitate at all. After all, Gervis was Alice's nominal husband, and these 50 spearmen could not pose any threat to Rose Castle.
After saying that, Lina suddenly remembered something, and then said to Gervis respectfully: "Lord Gervis, you can just call me Lina from now on!"
"Thank you for your help, Lina!"
Gervis smiled. To be honest, he felt a little sorry for Lina at this moment. After all, yesterday, he thought of Lina as a bad character like Aunt Rong.
…
After entering the castle, Lina immediately arranged Gervis's spearmen near the convoy. This place was originally prepared for the servants of other guests, but there were enough rooms in the front hall of the castle, so in order to make it convenient for Gervis to summon his men, Lina arranged this place for Gervis.
After Lina left, Gervis asked Ike to escort the convoy to the store in the East District with several personal guards. Since the store did not need to be renovated, Gervis felt that it would be better to open the store this afternoon than to choose a day.
Of course, there was a reason why Gervis was in such a hurry to open the business. The first was that Gervis was in great need of money. All the gold coins he had were almost gone. He brought 30 gold coins with him when he came here, earned 10 gold coins at the Snowland Manor, and earned 50 gold coins by selling wine to the five nobles, which added up to about 90 gold coins.
But today, Gervis spent a lot of money. He spent 6 gold coins on the auction to kill the pig-headed leader, paid 5 gold coins in advance to buy ordinary slaves, and spent 106 gold coins to buy 50 spearmen. Although he borrowed 100 gold coins from Pat, he had to pay back the money he borrowed.
Moreover, Gervis thought that the sooner the payment was made, the better. Although Pat would not urge him, Gervis felt uncomfortable owing other people money.
Gervis has now become a lord in debt. As the saying goes, yellow gold coins represent a man's courage! Gervis feels that he needs to make money quickly to increase his courage.
Gervis's carriage was still half loaded with ice cream, which was the ice cream made by Jimmy. He didn't sell it immediately yesterday because Gervis felt a little embarrassed to continue setting up a stall. After all, he came here in person this time.
He had originally planned to have the servants go to the East District to shout, and then deliver the goods to the door like delivering takeout, but they had only arrived at Rose Castle yesterday, and the servants who followed them were also tired, so he did not let them go to work right away.
But now it's good. Gervis got a shop yesterday at noon, so it's just the right time to go and sell it today.
Thanks to the book friend "鼠子药快面" for the reward!!!
