Chapter 47: Commander

Henry walked straight along the dark and damp road, and the walls on both sides of the sewer were opened with many holes. He could feel someone behind him, and if there were enemies, he believed that countless arrows would be shot from these holes immediately, turning the intruders into hedgehogs. Ten minutes later, the originally narrow intersection suddenly widened, and he came to a hall in the sewer. There are many people holding weapons and wearing armor standing on both sides, and a tall man is sitting on the seat in the middle, and beside this man is a mage wearing a robe. Henry came out with a smile and said to the tall man: "Hi, respected Commander Baram. I heard that you want to talk to me about the transaction in person?" The commander stood up. "Yes mage, I heard that you bought a large number of slaves this morning, and you are still interested in buying more. Can you tell me what you want so many slaves for?"

Henry smiled and replied: "Of course, my collar population is too small and requires a large number of healthy labor force. However, due to the geographical location, it cannot attract too many people to immigrate, so I came to Luskan. This is the only place in the entire Northland. The port where the slave trade is allowed to be open to the public." The Grand Commander glanced at the mage behind him. "How many more slaves do you need?" Henry also secretly glanced at the mage. "A lot, I can eat as many as you have." Balam sat down and thought for a while, raised his head and said to Henry, "I still have close to 6,000 slaves in my hands, take them all if you need them. But I hope that there will be a batch of magic potions and scrolls to cover the payment." Henry lowered his head and considered his inventory. "No problem, I will pay for some spell scrolls and potions. But the scrolls may contain some magic scrolls, I hope you can understand."

The originally silent mage suddenly asked, "Can I ask about the level of your spell scroll?" Henry glanced at Baram meaningfully. "I have scrolls of divine spells from level 1 to level 6 and spells from level 1 to level 5, and there are quite a few of them." After hearing this, the mage turned around and whispered a few words to the Grand Commander, and then Baram turned around. Said to Henry: "If you agree to let my mage consultant give priority to selecting some high-level scrolls, I can increase the number of slaves to 8,000. If your ship can't be transported at once, I can sell you two cargo ships. But I need to see your sincerity first." Henry took out two Death Cloud Spells and two Healing Spells from the Dimensional Bag and gently held them in his hand. The people around became visibly nervous, and the mage also hid his hands in his wide sleeves so that others could not see his gestures of casting spells. Henry gently placed the scroll in his hand on the ground, and then slowly backed away until the people around him lifted their guards before stopping. Balam came over and picked up the four scrolls and handed them to his advisor. The mage picked them up and appraised them before nodding. "Very powerful cloud of death and healing, we have accepted these scrolls. When the settlement is made, the payment will be five times the market price. In order to express my gratitude, I will give you a personal warning. Don't think that in Balam All the slaves can be safely taken away after the Grand Commander conducts transactions here. There are five Grand Commanders in this city, and Kurze is our deadly enemy. If he finds out that you are trading here, he will definitely send someone to the sea sabotage."

"Thank you for your reminder. If he dares to come in person, Commander Baram may lose his good opponent in the future." Henry replied. Balam laughed. "This is really a good joke, but I am looking forward to this day. Tomorrow I will send my mage consultant to take slaves to the pier for trading, and you can exchange arcane imprints with each other. If you have any other needs in the future, you can contact me at any time .” Henry performed a mage salute. "Since the agreement is reached, I will take my leave today and see you at the pier tomorrow morning." Balam called a thief to lead the way. After Henry disappeared in the sewers, Baram asked his advisor, "How about Orson? What is the power of this mage?" The mage named Orson took off his hood. "Very powerful, at least stronger than me. He can easily take out a fifth-level spell scroll, indicating that he is at least a ninth-level mage, and a sixth-level divine spell means that there is an eleventh-level druid or priest standing behind him No matter from which aspect, it is not something we can use." Baram smiled. "That happens to be a good time for us to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him, and if Kurzer dares to break the deal this time, he will definitely be beaten to nothing. Recently, I want to kill that guy more and more." The assistant looked carefully with scroll. "He will definitely do it, maybe he can use this time to clear his influence from the dock area."

Henry followed the masked thief out of the sewer, and after saying goodbye to each other, the thief quickly returned on the same route. Now he was walking alone on the noisy pier at night, and after walking along the path for a while, he finally saw the Sword. Hawk stood on the deck quietly waiting for his boss to come back. Others may not know the power of the Grand Commander, but he does. The whole city is divided into five parts and ruled by five lords, Tyrell, Baram, Kurze, Sujak, and Resenor, all of whom are descendants of pirates. In other words, each of them has one-fifth of the power to be a city, and Hawke is very worried that his boss will be blackmailed. When he was worried, Henry returned to the boat and said to the captain: "My captain, you haven't rested at this late hour?" The old man stood up when he saw him coming back and asked, "How is the deal done?" He smiled and said: "Yes, tomorrow Baram's mage advisor will personally lead a team to send 8,000 slaves. But can our boat hold so many people?" Hawke smiled. "It doesn't matter that our ship is big enough and the voyage is less than a month. It's no problem to squeeze." Henry took a deep breath. "I'm relieved to hear your answer. Well, it's getting late and go to bed early." After speaking, he turned and went back to his room to sleep.

The noisy night passed quickly, and the sun rose again in the morning. Henry got up early, he knew there was an important deal today. After washing, he came to the deck and waited quietly, with the half-orc warrior following behind him. An hour later the Orson mage arrived at the docks with a long line of slaves and troops. The huge number of slaves aroused the attention of spies from all sides, and they hid in the corner and watched carefully. After seeing Henry standing on the deck and the guards behind him, Orson walked over with a smile and said: "Good morning, Mr. Henry, your guards are really mighty. I brought the goods. They are all slaves who have passed through the process, men and women Half of them are only five hundred children and no old people. Do you need to check their teeth?" Henry glanced at these slaves and found that their condition was okay. Although they were hungry and thin, they were generally healthy without diseases. He said to the mage: "No need to send it directly to the ship, please order the quantity, and I will start paying after the order." Orson gave orders to the people behind him, and the army began to drive the slaves onto the ship. Captain Hawke was in charge of directing the sailors to wash them clean.

The huge number of slaves caused the work process to be very slow, and it didn't end until the afternoon. Henry had invited the mage to the captain's room for a brief lunch and was sitting and chatting together when the captain came in and said to Henry: "The boss has already ordered, 3,500 women, 4,000 men, 500 Now they have all been bathed and loaded on the boat, and they can set off at any time as long as they have simple supplies.” Henry thought to himself that he had finally collected enough labor for the territory, and with these slaves, it would not take long for his city to be established . He took out the dimensional bag and took out the boxes of potions that had been packed in advance. There was also a stack of scrolls, about 150 of which were placed on the table. With your help, it is impossible for me to buy so many slaves at once. Here are the magic scrolls and potions I promised, please check and estimate the value." Orson carefully looked through each scroll, and then opened the box to check the potion. After more than an hour, he finished, please click and said to Henry: "One, two, three spells and magical scrolls are based on the market price, and the four to six scrolls are five times. In addition to this box of magic potions, the total value is 30 50,000 gold coins. After deducting these, you pay another 170,000 gold coins and we will settle the matter."

Then Henry paid 170,000 gold coins, and the two exchanged the secret mark with each other. After Orson took the gold coins, potions and scrolls, he was escorted by the army and left the dock. Henry saw the completion of the transaction and said to the captain: "Resupply immediately, we will set off tonight. Otherwise we may not be able to leave." Hawk nodded in agreement and then stood up and went to the market at the pier to buy supplies. Henry Then he took the half-orc Vaughan to stand on the deck in case of accidents. In the evening, the captain returned to the ship with a large amount of food, water and wine. After putting away the supplies, he directed the four ships to leave the port.

After taking the slave ship that had been floating outside the port at sea, the five ships formed a fleet and slowly headed towards the open sea. Henry knew that he might be attacked by pirates at any time within two days, and this time the commander of Kurzer himself would definitely not be a mob like the pirates when he came. Maybe there will be a fierce battle at sea. He ordered all the sailors in the fleet to be ready for battle, to carry their weapons with them, and to ensure that the watchtowers were manned at all times. And make Amy ready to cast spells and scrolls and let her attack alone when necessary. Soon the ship sailed away from the Luskan waters and headed towards the deep sea under the moonlight. Everyone did not sleep, they nervously waited for the pirates to attack. Behind them, the pirates composed of three large ships had already started to leave the port, and the mages were monitoring the movement and followed the prey behind them, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
