Lord of Rot

Chapter 317 Jinri is more convenient to carry

The Hippogriff tilted his body slightly, and his left wing cut into the water, bringing up a white line.

Li Qi lay on Hippogriff's body.

He always chose to fly at a low altitude, grazing the water.

If you force your way into the territory of other nobles, you will most likely be regarded as an intruder.

The Ostrich Knight has already appeared, so he wouldn't be surprised if there are other ways to fly. Maybe the Dragon Knight has already appeared, so he should keep a low profile if possible.

It wasn't until near Pigtail Bay that Li Qi let the rocket raise its altitude.

Looking down from the sky, there are four foreign ships moored in Pig Tail Bay, but only one ship can be docked at the pier.

At the dock, several people were arguing with Grant and others.

"Go down." Li Qi patted Rocket gently.

……

"We have brought slaves as agreed." The slave owner glanced at the four-armed man standing behind Gulen and the soldiers in scale armor, and tried to make his tone as calm as possible: "According to the rules, Now you are going to count the slaves and pay them.”

"We have no control over this matter." Grant shook his head and said, "We must wait for our lord to come back."

The slave owner said: "Then count the slaves first!"

Grant could guess why the other party was anxious. More than 4,000 people were crammed into four ships. It took several months to reach the Porcupine Territory. There must have been a group of sick and dying slaves inside, these hateful desert barbarians. I hope that I can finish the inventory as soon as possible. If I die in my own hands, it will have nothing to do with them.

After the deal is concluded, you will be the weak party.

As the chief steward, Grant will focus on the interests of the territory: "We can only wait for our lord to come back."

"Your lord is not in the territory. Waiting for him to come back will waste a lot of time. We have other important things." The slave owner's mouth was a little anxious and he spoke fluently in common language.

Every extra day you wait, a lot of people will die, and those are all white flowers on the silver moon.

"It won't be long." Grant shook his head: "Before you get close, I have already released the raven to notify the lord."

"Let the raven fly?" The slave owner felt that the person in front of him was joking. He needed to use the raven to communicate, indicating that he was far away.

The slaves on his ship couldn't wait that long.

"Wow—!"

Suddenly there was a sharp hawk's whistle overhead, and then a gust of wind hit him on the head.

"so big!"

"what is that?"

Hearing the exclamation, the slave owner suddenly looked up.

A magical eagle-headed Pegasus flew past his head, folding its wings and landing smoothly.

The slave owner was blown forward by the wind and staggered forward, almost falling to the ground. He stood up straight with his knees in his hands and looked at the figure riding on the Pegasus in shock.

"Avada'o is on top!" He put his hands on his chest.

What did I see, a knight flying in the sky? !

"Are you Avada'o?" The other party, riding on the eagle-headed Pegasus, turned around and asked.

"No, my lord!" The slave owner bowed his head: "I serve Avada'o."

"Oh" the other party replied calmly, as if he was no longer interested in him.

"We have brought the slaves as agreed," the slave owner said, "but your people will not allow the slaves to disembark."

"Everything they did was to obey my orders, and they did it right," Reach said. "Now we can count the slaves."

The slave owner was overjoyed and immediately turned around and called his men to arrange for the slaves to come ashore.

"Quickly, get those slaves off the ship!"

"Don't worry," Li Qi said, "I said before, I need healthy slaves."

He said to the soldiers not far away: "Have people bring Vic and the pharmacists here, count the number of people, and conduct physical examinations on the slaves."

"Yes!"

"Sir, we in High Blood City never accept this when doing business..." The slave owner looked ugly. There were many slaves on his ship who were still half alive. If he went by what Li Qi said, he would have to earn several coins less. Golden day!

Li Qi ignored him and left on a rocket.

Being able to talk calmly to these slave owners is already a sign of Li Qi's self-cultivation. If the other party breaks the rules with him again, Li Qi is really worried that he will kill them directly according to Lulea's rules.

Lurea's rules: The big fist is the rule.

When a ship docks, the slaves just get off the ship without any need for a word from the slave owner.

After months of traveling by boat, some people were still swaying while walking on the road, and some simply fell to the ground.

"Get up!" shouted the slave owner holding a hardwood stick.

But a hand caught his wrist.

He looked at the person holding him, a soldier in full armor. He couldn't figure out the identity of the soldiers who could wear such exquisite armor here, but it was best not to conflict with them.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

The soldier replied with a cold face: "These slaves are all the property of the lord. If you hit them, you are violating the property of the lord! Are you planning to damage the wealth of a lord on his territory?"

"No, of course not!"

They just want to sell slaves and do business. Who wants to cross the continent of Lurea to fight.

With this situation, other slave owners have become more gentle in their methods, but they still push some slaves who walk too slowly.

In this regard, the soldiers could only pretend not to see it, as long as no one would be hurt.

"As long as you come to the Porcupine Territory, you will have the opportunity to escape from the status of slaves and have a better future." The soldier secretly said: "I was also a slave."

All soldiers were deployed to maintain order. In order to avoid causing trouble, Li Qi arranged for people from the security team to come as well.

Pharmacists are also busy.

They only need to conduct the simplest inspection to determine whether there is any disease in the slaves. In particular, patients with infectious diseases must be picked out as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely to turn the entire porcupine collar into a plague cemetery.

The entire inventory step lasted half a day.

Finally a list was handed to Li Qi.

Of the 1000 young and middle-aged male slaves, none died or got sick. They were physically strong and could withstand some disasters.

However, I had more than a dozen physical complaints, including vomiting and diarrhea.

But Vic had already determined that it wasn't dysentery, just simple seasickness.

A male slave costs 10 silver months, and the total price is 10000 silver months.

There were 2803 adult female slaves, 197 of whom died during the voyage.

Total price: 8409 silver months.

There were 811 children, and an unknown number of them died on the road. Young children are the most vulnerable when traveling long distances and facing illness.

Because Li Qi specifically emphasized that the price of women with children was higher, these slave owners also deliberately stuffed many young slaves into them. It was obvious at a glance that they had neither father nor mother.

The total cost was only 18409 silver months, but the final price quoted by the slave owner doubled.

Li Qi met with the leading slave owner: "Are you planning to double the price?"

"It's a long journey," the slave owner said with a smile, "We spent a lot of time, some people got sick, and we were robbed by pirates. Of course, we have to take the money into account."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded: "It's not easy for you, but I'm still prepared to pay the original price."

The smile on the slave owner's face disappeared.

"Gaoxue City is never afraid of forced buying and selling."

He had an aggrieved expression on his face, but he acted like a forceful buyer and seller.

"Listen to me first," Li Qi said: "The batch of slaves you sent includes hundreds of sick ones. I want them all, and at the original price."

"Thank you for your kindness," said the slave owner. "Without your kindness, they would just die in the sea."

Li Qi ignored the other party's flattery and continued: "Those children, I can pay you 100 silver months as compensation for food expenses."

The slave owner said happily: "It is an honor for those children to settle here!"

Female slaves are different from male slaves. He was previously worried that only 811 children could form a pair with a woman, and only this group of people could earn 3 silver months. Other women without children might be cheaper.

But I didn't expect that the lord in front of me was willing to pay the full price.

"And..., I can settle the payment with Gold Day."

"Jinri! Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. For the total price of 18509 silver months, I'll pay you 185 gold days. What do you think?" Li Qi said, " silver months is too bulky. I think gold days are more convenient to carry. "

"Thank you for your kindness!" The slave owner nodded vigorously, fearing that Li Qi would regret it.

The official price is the same, but anyone who is not a fool knows that the price in Jinri is higher.

As for how much more profit you can get, it depends on the operation.

"Okay, you can leave the Porcupine Territory." Li Qi stood up and saw off the guests without any courtesy.

"Avada'o bless you!"

"Sorry, I believe in the Four Gods." Li Qi shook his head: "I cannot accept your blessing."

The slave ship did not stop and left immediately after checking out.

Li Qi stared at the slave ship going away. He originally wanted to kill it and snatch the money back, but considering that Avadao in High Blood City was difficult to deal with, an army of 50 slaves was no joke.

I can only let go of this idea for the time being.

"We won't kill by force, but we can use other methods."

It was because of that idea that Li Qi took the initiative to "lose money" and use gold days to settle the accounts.

He pulled out the [Invisible Pot], looked at it for a long time, and made a small decision in his heart.

“Golden Day is more convenient to carry”
