Chapter three hundred and eighty eighth simple folk customs Karin Shan(1/2)

In the melee a few days ago, there were not many pirates who successfully escaped, so Li Wei had some predictions about the chain reaction that would follow this battle.

However, due to sudden changes later, some unexpected and even ridiculous things still happened. One was Luskan's sudden declaration of war against the Kendik Dynasty on Moonshadow Island, and the other was that the group of 'Kuo-Toa fishmen' were attacking the pirates.

After causing tons of psychological shadow, not only was it not given a wide berth, but it was treated as a mascot out of something similar to 'primitive worship'...

Not to mention, these 'Kuo-Toa' transformed from slimes, when they are in the plural, lack the necessary 'thinking circuits' to form a group consciousness, so they appear a bit dull and quite deceptive.

They are not like their distant relatives in the ocean, the sahuagin, whose bodies are covered with sharp and poisonous barbs.

These fish people transformed from slimes are generally only the size of an adult's head, and their bodies are much rounder. Some of their scales have shiny silver reflections. Even if they may be a little ugly, they are still ugly.

Cute and ugly...

No wonder it was quickly abducted by the mages investigating this incident for 'research', and then taken over by adventurers along the coast.

However, this is long-term good news for Levi, which is equivalent to indirectly expanding the detection range of their Zelandia. However, due to the spatial and distance limitations of information transmission between slimes, tens of thousands of murlocs

If it is spread out, it will appear very sparse, and the timeliness of capturing and delivering valuable information will be greatly reduced.

Unless they all use a whole 'slime dot chain network cable' for special care like Steel Egg, but in that case, the load will be too much for the current Kaka.

In fact, at first Levi also considered whether to use the characteristics of slime to spread these 'surveillance eyes' on a large scale, but he gave up considering the many 'problems' behind it. It was impossible to really let Calvin

Let's develop slimes into adult products and sell them...that would be too crazy.

The orc tax official saw that Fisher and the others seemed a little stunned, so he quickly returned to the topic and promoted himself with a smile:

"Let me introduce myself. I am Barter, the tax collector at Port No. 6 in Kalin Port. I wonder what kind of business you have in Port Kalin this time? If it is luxury goods, weaving or handicrafts, I can find them for you.

Good buyers, if you want to buy slaves, I also have a relatively low-price way. You only need to charge some... small handling fees. As you know, Karin Port has not been very peaceful in recent years.

..So, hehe.”

Fisher gave a hint to Alyssa, and Alyssa immediately understood: "We have a batch of slaves that need to be sold. If there is a good supply, we need to buy another batch of slaves."

Bart was stunned for a moment. He sold a batch of slaves and bought another batch of slaves... What kind of operation was this?

However, he felt that he still needed to remind him: "Then your luck is not good. Due to Luskan's declaration of war on the Moon Shadow Islands, a large number of 'ghost ships' and even warships began to move towards the Moon Shadow Islands. As a result, the sword recently shuttled

The number of ships in the sea to Nelanthel has been greatly reduced, and now even our local slaves are somewhat unsaleable. If you only have ordinary slaves on hand, I'm afraid... you won't be able to sell them at a good price."

"What about the professionals?" Fisher asked.

Due to the cruel "death screening" of Bylemulu and her group of murlocs, the pirate captives who could survive such a high-intensity battle were more or less employed in certain professions, and their combat effectiveness was not too low.

"Of course they are a best-selling hard currency at any time. As long as you take some measures, they are the best guards, gladiators, and cannon fodder. Even the corpses are sold to the necromancers who sell twisted runes.

The best undead warriors will even sell their souls directly to hell and the abyss."

Orc Bart's eyes suddenly lit up, and he endlessly explained the benefits of being a professional. Then he seemed to realize something, and looked expectantly at the Dauntless behind Fisher:

"So, you have many slaves like this?"

Alyssa couldn't help but look at Fisher, and seeing him nodding, she said to Felix:

"Arrange the 'unloading', and settle the royalties of the adventurer team by the way, and ask them if they are willing to take on another simple escort mission."

"I'll make arrangements right away, miss." Felix bowed slightly and said.

A few minutes later, with a crisp sound, a group of unkempt and confused pirate captives, whose hands were temporarily tied with fishing nets, were seen lining up and getting off the ship under the supervision of the adventurers.

Even though he was captured, he still couldn't change his habit of swearing.

From the perspective of this group of pirates, since these powerful guys did not execute them on the spot, it means that they still want to use them. As long as they are still alive, anything is possible.

However, when these more than 400 pirate captives, who clearly smelled of blood, appeared, Barthel, a tax collector, was shocked, especially when he saw the moon elf Merlin with snake hair among the slaves.

When Dela looked at her, she couldn't close her jaw.

Battle has been in Port Calin for so many years. Although he does not know Queen Alyssa of the Sword Coast, who is also coming to Port Calin for the first time, but based on the pirate captives in front of him and the rumors a while ago, how can he guess it?

The group of people in front of me are the guys who killed Nelanser's pirate alliance a while ago, and this merchant ship covered with 'wooden patches' is the 'ironclad ship' that was recently rumored to be in the sky?

Immediately, he felt like the goddess of luck, Tymora, lifted up her skirt towards him, and it felt like the goddess of wealth, Wojin, suddenly favored him. In short...he, Battle, was in great luck!

He immediately stopped hesitating, put on a flattering smile, rubbed his big black hands, and said in the glare of the adventurers:

"Oh, it turns out that the respected Archmage Fischer and His Majesty Queen Alyssa of the Sword Coast are in person. Why do we need to go to such trouble and hire adventurers? This batch of goods can be completely eaten by our Ryden Federation alone.

!

"The price...may not be the highest, but it can save you a lot of time and energy.

"Look, just to transport these slaves, you may have to pay a large commission for escorting them. There will also be resettlement fees. You even have to purchase a batch of food to prevent them from starving to death. This is all money.

!Besides..."

"Okay, you can inspect the goods and quote a price."

Before the orc could say anything more, he was interrupted by Fisher with a wave of his hand, because Levi had already used magic communication to signal him to close the deal directly.

Even if the tax officer doesn't need to say anything, they, who are also managers, naturally understand how troublesome it will be to deal with these pirates through formal channels. Maybe they can make more money, but the risk, time and energy paid are completely

Not proportional.

Making money is no longer the main purpose of coming to Calinshan this time. How to get as many people back to the North before the sea route completely becomes 'dangerous' is the key.

In addition, they are already burdened with quite a lot of troubles at this time, so it would be great to be able to deal with these "ticking time bombs" in advance that can cause trouble at any time.

This unexpected and straightforward answer made Bartel feel excited for a moment, but Fischer's next words made his hot heart cool down.

Fisher pointed at the dazed 'Melindera': "This is not for sale."

The orc Battle opened his mouth. He originally wanted to fight for it again, but when he saw the firm look in his eyes, he wisely chose to close his mouth.

Having dealt with spell casters for many years, he naturally understands the nature of most spell casters: once they decide on something, it is difficult for the outside world to easily change their will, at least not by him.

Seeing Levi on his shoulder look at him meaningfully, Fisher was frightened and quickly explained through magic communication:

"Boss, I'm not planning to use my power for personal gain. Even if the other pirates escape or are redeemed by the pirate organization behind them, it doesn't matter much. But this elf is also a great mage after all, and he's still Luce.

I'm afraid she would be in trouble if she escaped back. Although we haven't been able to get anything valuable out of her mouth in the past two days, we can definitely hand her over to Calvin for interrogation, or even bring her back to Zeeland.

Dia is left to Dishana, and the drow have already developed a mature method for dealing with their distant relatives on the surface."

Li Wei was noncommittal about this and said: "There is no need to hide it. You like to patronize Zhuoer's business for more than a day or two. This journey has been hard, so this moon elf is given to you. You can do with it as you like."

"..." Fisher really didn't know how to refute for a while, and he couldn't resist the boss's 'reward'. He was just a little puzzled, wondering if his elf control had reached the point where everyone knew it.

Has it reached the point?

In the end, they conducted on-site transactions with Ryden Union at a price slightly lower than the market price, and Levi also saw for the first time a transaction settled directly with boxes of gold bricks.

Snapped!

"Follow me! Animals! Why are you staring! If you look again, I will break your legs. Don't expect anyone to buy you back. You are pirates, don't you even have this consciousness?"

A group of federation members who came after hearing the news whipped their whips and drove away the pirate captives who were shouting with anger and anger.

They may be sent to the gladiatorial arena to dance with wild beasts, they may be sold to necromancers for experimental specimens, or they may be dragged into black mines to dig until they die. Who knows? No one will care about this.

question.

This is Calinshan, this is the fate of the slaves in Calinshan.

Every day, countless people are reduced to slavery, trafficked, exploited, consumed, and forgotten.

And many of them became slaves here through the hands of these pirates. They just experienced what happened to the tourists who were plundered by them.

On the contrary, Melindra stared at these pirate captives who were being dragged away like animals. She didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe in her opinion, instead of facing an unknown fate, it would be better to be sold here and use her as the Archmage.

As a person, there is still a glimmer of possibility to break free and regain freedom.

The way the red-robed mage looked at her actually made her feel a little scared...

She couldn't help but think back to those miserable years when she was trapped in the Dark Territory, and the despair she experienced.

But just when these freshly minted slaves were about to be taken away, there were sudden screams and murderous cries from the east gate of Karin City.

"Ready to fight!"

Alyssa's expression changed immediately. Felix and the adventurers on the boat who had not yet had time to go their separate ways pulled out their weapons and looked around in panic.

Having experienced several big scenes on the Dauntless, their nerves seemed to have become a little fragile recently.

"Hey hey hey! Don't panic! Don't worry, you can't get here!"

The orc Badr waved his hand to everyone, telling them to feel at ease.

"What's going on here?"

Fischer asked the question for Levi, who was acting as a mascot on his shoulder.

"Hey! Aren't you that 'wandering pasha'?"

Balder showed disdain and ridicule.

"Sir Pasha Peshahar? That deposed king?" Fischer asked.

Even the two 'salted fish' on the shoulders couldn't help but look over curiously.

"The deposed king? That's right, but I heard that he was re-supported by the merchants from Suldov a few years ago. No, every once in a while, some untouchables would be driven over to die. It was known as the counterattack card.

Lin Port, purge the Karin royal court."
