Broad World

Seeing a large number of malicious eyes around, Su Li knew that this time it was completely finished. I believe that as long as he can't afford to say these three words, these damn gamblers will definitely swarm him and tear him to pieces. I am afraid that even his home will be ransacked, and his daughter and wife may be sold to an underground brothel.

This is a lawless slum area, and even patrolling soldiers will subconsciously avoid it. You must know that there is a hidden private port on the east side of the Copper Crown Hotel, and ships transporting slaves will dock there every once in a while, but they have not been caught once over the years. It can be said that the residents here have colluded with criminals, and many people have even directly joined the ranks.

Su Li couldn't imagine what would happen to his family if it fell into their hands, so he was already planning to sell himself as a slave, and only hoped that the other party would spare his family. As Henry got closer and closer, the people around did not know who shouted: "Losing money!"

Immediately afterwards, the whole scene was detonated with a bang. Hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Losing money! Losing money! Losing money!" The loud voice attracted the attention of countless people on the first floor, even Lei Tinan, the hotel owner, was alarmed. Now everyone is waiting for the victors to speak so they can justify their atrocities.

The corners of Viconia's mouth hidden under the hood were slightly upturned, revealing a sarcastic smile. She quietly came to Henry's side and whispered: "Oh, damn it. The atmosphere here reminds me of Menzoberranzan. The evil and cold-bloodedness shown by these humans makes me almost cry. Besides, how do you plan to deal with this hapless bastard? Kill it or make it a slave?"

"Neither. Don't you think this guy's business ability is quite good? I just need someone who can help take care of the business." Henry is not the kind of person who is evil for the sake of evil. His purpose is always clear, that is to gain more power or benefits. Right now, there are still a large number of shops and cargo ships idle, and it would be too wasteful to kill the people who deliver them to the door.

After all, those who can run a casino basically have two talents, otherwise there would be no bones left that would have been eaten in various basements. What's more, the Ronaldo family still has many shady properties. For example, the casino, as well as the slave and military supplies transactions with Karinshan, can't be played without a capable person in charge.

"Are you sure this guy won't betray? You must know that his current virtues are all your fault. Besides, generally speaking, such losers in dark elf cities are only suitable for feeding spiders." Viconia made no secret of her contempt for the weak. In her opinion, beggars and other people without the ability to work have no survival value at all, and all of them should be killed to save food.

For this point of view. Henry couldn't agree more. Everyone seemed to him. Even if it is disabled, it has certain use value. Especially in this sparsely populated world, as long as they are placed in a suitable location, they will play their due role. It's just that most rulers don't realize it. That's why this kind of waste of labor is caused.

You must know that the area of ​​Faerun Continent just marked on the map is about the same size as Russia on Earth, and this does not include the various islands in the sea and the frozen soil in the extreme north. There are less than 50 million intelligent life forms living on so many lands, and this is the sum of other races such as orcs and halflings.

If Corey's military operation goes well this time, Henry's Principality will annex all unclaimed land near Baldur's Gate. With the addition of the overseas Angome Islands, the area under his rule is almost as large as the three northeastern provinces. But the population of such a large land is only about 2.5 million, and even Amn, which claims to have a large population, only has about 3 million.

In Henry's opinion, this number of people is not even enough to fit between the teeth. At least a population of about 7 million is needed to meet the development plan he has formulated. Therefore, there are absolutely no beggars near Baldur's Gate, because they are all arranged to do what they can in some places. Even so, there is still a huge shortage of labor force, and troops are often dispatched around the forest to capture goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds and other monsters as supplements.

If the sahuagin hadn't been making trouble along the coast recently, he would even have thought of going overseas to buy some slaves. After all, there are many other lands and civilizations around Faerun. For example, the Maztec continent in the west is a jungle empire similar to the Mayan civilization, with countless tribes and small countries, and Amn has a large colony here. In addition, there is the continent of Zahara in the south. It is similar to Arab civilization there. Of course, there is also the Karatu of the East.

Just when Henry was thinking about things, Su Li, who was pale, couldn't bear the tremendous pressure, and finally knelt down, and piled all the coins and items on his body on the ground. His lips trembled and begged: "Respected adventurer, all the valuable things on my body are here. If you think it is not enough, I am willing to be your subordinate, servant, or even a slave. I just beg you, let my family go."

As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd shouted: "Don't be fooled by this bastard, he also has a beautiful wife and daughter, even if you don't sell them, you can keep them for yourself."

"Yes! This guy has done a lot of bad things before, and he finally got his retribution today."

"Hahahaha! Sell his wife and daughter to Mrs. Ning (the bustard in the underground brothel of the Copper Crown Hotel), so that we can all go have a good time."

Hearing these voices of adding insult to injury, Su Li trembled with anger, and even his breathing became short of breath. He is now beginning to experience the feelings of being chased by his gambling debtors before. This kind of suffering and regret makes people feel that life is worse than death. Especially the young daughter is only thirteen years old, and I am afraid that she will be tortured to death within a week after being sold.

Henry felt that the timing was about right, otherwise this guy might be driven crazy in a while. He stepped forward and took out the noble badge and pressed it on the forehead of the other party, and a black family crest was printed on it. This means that Su Li no longer has personal freedom from this moment on, and whether he will become a slave or not is entirely up to his master.

"I can let your family go. But there is a premise, you must show enough value."

"Of course! Of course! I can do anything for you, even if it is killing people, I won't frown." Su Li knew that this was the last straw that could save his life, and immediately lay down on the ground and kissed the new owner's boots.

Henry nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, I still have some things to do now, so you go to this address to report first." As he spoke, he wrote the address of Eratan's house in the palm of the other party with magic tricks.

"Understood! I'll go now." After taking a look, Su Li immediately got up and ran out the door. He knew that he had no room to resist, because the imprint on his forehead revealed a trace of magical power, if he escaped, he would definitely be caught back.

Seeing that the Lord had left, the crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed. They didn't have the guts to step forward to provoke them. The bodies of the three Amaras brothers were still lying on the ground. The boss, Lei Tinan, called two thugs to carry the body to the back room. It seemed that he was going to throw it into the sewer, or he was going to give the beasts in the cage extra food.

After packing up the money on the ground, Henry came to the table and made it. He first looked at the old dwarf opposite him, and then asked with a smile: "Korgan, how old are you?"

"How old? I don't remember clearly, three hundred? Or three hundred and fifty. Why ask this when you have nothing to do?" Kogan replied after taking a sip of his wine.

"This is very important. It is related to the cooperation between you and me. Let me ask another question, do you want to rejuvenate your body and prolong your life span?"

"Hahahaha! Do you have to ask? Every intelligent life is eager to keep itself young, and it is best not to die forever. But this is impossible, so I decided to enjoy every day I live, even if I die."

Hearing Korgan's words, an imperceptible smile flickered across the corner of Henry's mouth. He took out a small bottle of light green liquid from the dimensional bag, and he could feel the vigorous vitality even through the glass bottle. This is a potion made from Apodel's divine blood combined with the "wishing technique". It can not only rejuvenate the body, but also prolong the life span of thirty to fifty years.

"I believe you can feel it too. This is a special bottle of longevity potion. I don't like to beat around the bush, so as long as you agree to be loyal to me, then this is yours. And as long as I am still alive, you can get a bottle every few decades. This is basically equivalent to immortality."

It has to be said that the contents in this small bottle are fatally attractive to an old dwarf who is about to enter the coffin. You can tell by the look in Korgan's eyes now, staring straight at him, subconsciously grabbing the ax with one hand. If he hadn't been afraid to break it carefully, he might have rushed to snatch it.

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Henry put a ring collar on the table. "As long as you bring this, this bottle of potion will be yours immediately. Don't worry, it's just an insurance to prevent sudden betrayal."

"Damn it! You actually want to control me with evil spells!" Korgan was not one of those rookies who didn't understand anything, and saw through the purpose of the collar at a glance.

"Calm down, as long as you don't disobey orders, this thing is basically nothing. What I hope to get is a warrior with excellent martial arts skills, not a stupid puppet."

Henry also knew that it would be difficult to make a chaotic and evil dwarf obedient, but this insurance was compulsory. There is only one quota left in the system, and he doesn't want to waste it on a fighter. After all, according to the plan, this spot is reserved for the sealed Congers. Only by completely controlling this powerful demilich can he be sure to make other liches work for him. Although the Scroll Golem is also very powerful, it is still far inferior to a real Lich.
