Chapter 4 The Slaves I Bought Turned Out to Be
Field considered buying more slaves, but unfortunately he was short of money.
To survive in the death fog, not considering the monsters, just breathing requires the use of fog lights, which are magic props sold exclusively by the church and are expensive.
Add to that the food, drink, and defecation of more than 200 people, and it is not a small amount.
"How is it? Did you get the loan?" Field saw the butler coming out of the Merchants Association and hurried forward to ask, but seeing the expression of Cao, who was more smelly than a rat that had been dead for three days, he immediately knew what was going on.
"Sorry, sir, even the most greedy merchants will not lend us money when they hear your name." Cao spread his hands, "After all, the Northern Province is synonymous with hell, and even the royal expeditionary force was wiped out. No merchant would be willing to waste money."
"That's not right. I just received the commission today. Why are the merchants so well-informed?" Field originally planned to take out a loan. If he died in the North, he would not have to pay it back. If he didn't die, then paying it back would be a small matter.
Kao rolled his eyes. He really had no mood to serve the nobles who were about to die.
If he hadn't caught the earl's sister and the groom having an affair, he might have become a promising steward of Golden Eagle City, or the earl's hand, or the teacher of the earl's grandson, instead of going to the cursed land to die!
"Because your second sister knew your fiefdom in advance and warned the merchants in the city that everything you buy will be ten times more expensive." The steward replied weakly, "In addition, the merchants understood your sister's meaning and would not provide any convenience."
Field wiped his cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't report his name when buying slaves, otherwise it would not be a matter of fifty gold coins.
"Damn, thank her so much, my good sister." Field's veins popped out.
None of them are human, right?
The most annoying thing is that the original owner has lived for so long and didn't even have half a copper coin in his savings. One third was donated to the family's treasury, and two thirds were donated to the border fortress to buy weapons to fight against corrupted creatures.
The poorest nobleman.
"Forget about not being able to get a loan. This is a huge loss for short-sighted merchants." Field said indifferently, "Now, go buy some means of production."
Field spent 180 gold coins to buy pack horses, farm tools, food and books needed for development. Among them, there were 17 camels and horses, all of which were old and weak. Horses were extremely important means of production in the Middle Ages and were strictly controlled by the lords. Food was filled as much as possible. In terms of quantity, it was only enough for modern people to eat for half a month.
But slaves don't want to be treated like this. One black bread a day can be fed. Two black breads mixed with bark and sawdust can make slaves kneel down and call you daddy.
Therefore, the food is more than enough to eat for about 35 days.
"For magic props, go to the border city to buy them. Those bad officers will sell them at a discount."
Just like the feudal army in ancient times, they would sell the weapons and equipment of the soldiers at any time, and then they could eat a wave of empty salaries.
Originally, Field wanted to go to the tavern to recruit some talents or mercenaries, but unfortunately, when they heard that they were going to the Night Territory, they refused without hesitation.
"That damn place is no different from sending us to our deaths."
"I advise you to flee directly to other countries. Even stubborn cockroaches have to live in fear there."
The mercenary's advice echoed in his mind. Field rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at the beast-eared girl curled up in the carriage loaded with haystacks. Field was curious about what was so strange about this girl.
After finding an inn, Field let everyone rest for a night.
The next morning, he called the beast-eared girl.
"What's your name? Did you rest well yesterday?" Field looked up and down at the slave worth fifty silver coins. Seeing her confused face, he felt funny in his heart.
"A...Ashina."
After opening and closing her mouth for a long time, Asina struggled to report her name. She hadn't spoken for a month.
She had been waiting for the fate to come in fear, but she didn't expect that there would be a day when she could speak normally.
After the maid carefully cleaned the beast-eared girl, she was completely different from before. The tangled and dry hair becomes smooth and shiny after washing. The long white hair, pure as snowflakes, is loose, matched with delicate facial features, and looks quiet and elegant. She is the mature beauty that Field likes. But the trembling wolf ears and tail clearly make people feel her uneasiness.
After reporting her name, the green dot on Ashina's head disappeared, replaced by a simple panel.
Name: Ashina
Level: Unawakened
Promotion route: Wolf Cavalry God Chosen
Status: Malnutrition, almost collapsed
(Please supplement nutrition!)
"Fuck!" Field couldn't hold it in and exclaimed.
The green dot turned out to be the unawakened God Chosen! Field was stunned and hesitated to speak.
Because the green dot can be marked on the map, it will definitely not be marked only once!
September 1st of each year is the country's awakening day. Every woman of appropriate age must be examined. Although the probability of awakening as a God Chosen is very small, given their value, it is worth it even if it consumes huge financial and material resources.
Fidel paced back and forth excitedly, then waved his fists twice. His ability undoubtedly had great potential.
This time he went to the Night Territory, maybe he could really gain a foothold.
Seeing Field's strange behavior, Ashina mistakenly thought that he had come up with a bad idea to torture her. She was so scared that her legs trembled, and she pinched and loosened the hem of her skirt. She didn't know what she was facing.
In fact, after being bought by Field, she thought about fighting back. Even if the slave contract backfired, she refused to die in humiliation, but bit her enemy's neck fiercely.
But the maid pulled her, undressed her, bathed her, and rubbed every gap clean. Since she was born, she never thought that someone would help her take a bath. What's more outrageous is that even when she was dressed, the comfortable and soft fabric was worn on her body, as light as a feather, without biting fleas, and would not scratch the skin.
"Maybe I'll be a sacrifice to the devil." Ashina thought wildly, "When the critical moment comes, I'll fight back! I'll definitely teach these evil humans a lesson!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm not the kind of pervert who kills for fun. I bought you to expand my territory." Field lowered his voice, trying to make himself look gentler, leaning casually on the chair, his lazy movements seemed non-aggressive, "By the way, does this dress fit?"
This is a maid outfit modified from common maid clothes. The maid clothes in this world are conservative, only showing a part of the calf and the hands, just like nun clothes. Of course, it's not the kind of slit nun clothes for fun.
