67. How much is human life worth?

I subjectively consider myself a good person."

——The Japanese warrior who just redeemed a beautiful elf in the slave market

...

A two-pole sailboat, neither big nor small, carries a boatload of people - if broken down from the perspective of social status, there are 5 slaves, 5 commoners, 2 losers, 1 noble young man, and 1

The devil from a foreign land - follow the outer arc of the island and sail towards the destination.

Yesterday, Li Jiasu and Arcadio hit it off after meeting in a private house in the seaport town and finalized the details of the cooperation.

Omit the small talk that can take up a lot of words and fast forward the plot.

The specific method of dividing the spoils will be considered after the safe return. The specific "division of labor" is the focus of discussion between Arcadio and Li Jiasu.

As an elite young man of the feudal exploiting class, Arcadio knew very well that he could buy his life with money.

Although, he and his two bodyguards have extraordinary skills and are more powerful than ordinary people.

But if ordinary people are allowed to explore the road in the front row, it is obviously a safer approach for him.

Morality is precious, heroes are rare.

Anyway, a certain crime knight has now left the team and moved to a chapel in the city to live temporarily, so the noble young man naturally does not have to worry about "moral pressure".

Originally, Li Jiasu recruited 15 "brave" civilians who wanted money rather than their lives with a bounty of 3 gold coins per person from among the skilled laborers of the territory, and then recruited 5 from among the Sleif laborers.

A strong and thoughtful slave who is willing to devote his life and loyalty to the Lord.

The devil does intend to give these five people some rewards, provided they can come back alive.

But when we finally set off from the port, there were only five "brave" civilians. What happened?

The other 10 people, they were scared off.

They were frightened by Arcadio's manipulations and voluntarily quit the adventure.

The extremely wealthy aristocratic adventurer said this: "Your master and I have a mutually beneficial partnership in this adventure, and I have my own set of requirements for selecting people."

"Commons, be grateful! I am willing to give each person a reward of 10 gold coins, half of which will be paid in advance."

"After returning in triumph, I will pay the remaining half - if you die during this adventure, I guarantee with the honor of the nobles that this reward will be handed over to your family."

"But my selection requirements are: you must not only obey the command of Lord Axelarat, but at the same time, once the team encounters any danger, you must stand in front of me and protect a noble (member) with your life.

safety!"

"Civilians who are unable to do this can now leave the team."

Li Jiasu was silent, and so were the 15 "brave" civilians.

Some people suddenly realize that they are selling their lives.

The devil said:

These common people are the wealth of Mr. Chuyang Federesh.

You seem insincere like this,

Need to add money.

So, after some pulling and pulling, Arcadio finally raised the reward price to 14 gold coins per person.

Some people are afraid that they will never see the people they love again, so they give up.

After careful consideration, some people think that this is probably life, where wealth and wealth can be found in danger, so they follow.

In the end, out of 15 civilians, only 5 "super brave" people remained.

If you are willing to risk your life, you are really brave.

So, here comes the question,

Dear readers, do you think Arcadio is a good person or a bad person?

...

In just half a day, the sailboat anchored at the shoal of the destination's cliff. Everyone moved it back and forth. Before nightfall, they moved several wooden boxes for storing supplies and equipment onto the cliff and set up a camp.

Here is a detailed explanation,

Earlier, Arcadio and his two guard brothers hired several hunters to explore by land along the arc outside the island (cooperating with the island map drawn decades ago given by Chu Yang),

It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. After marking the location of the "suspicious dungeon entrance" on the map, you can sail along the edge of the island and take the waterway, which saves time for the round trip.

In the era before steam trains, the efficiency of water transportation and sea transportation was much higher than that of land transportation. For Li Jiasu and Chu Yang, the subsequent island development plan must start from the coast of the island.

In the evening, in the camp, next to the campfire.

"50 tubes of black powder, 10 bottles of alchemical acid, 30 brass supports, 1 yellow spring jack made by my hand, 60-foot-long pole..."

Li Jiasu once again counted the equipment and supplies in several wooden boxes.

Although it was impossible to build a hydraulic jack (hard materials were difficult and manual precision was insufficient), Li Jiasu used his own flame spray and flame resistance to successfully rub an early mechanical jack using the lever principle and spiral spring structure.

shelf.

Literally rubbing hands.

The overall level of the manual lathes in this world is similar to that of Terra Blue Star in the 15th century. The structure is roughly to install the workpiece on two wooden frames, use ropes to turn it manually, and then use hammers, chisels, and saws.

File or scraper for processing.

Generally speaking, if you want to tease the protagonist of a farming novel, the era-changing hydraulic industrial lathe is a common story element.

But hand-rolling a high-precision hydraulic industrial lathe is really difficult for a dust devil.

Oh, let’s take a look at the ancient underground ruins nearby, friends.

Maybe we can dig out the industrial machinery left behind by the alien race, ahem.

This time when exploring the dungeon, the number of people in the team was small, and it was only a reconnaissance test.

If it is confirmed that there are big treasures worth exploring, bring a large team of people over next time to "move mountains and unload mountains".

After counting the supplies, the devil took out 14 helmets from the box - one "hollow quilted brass helmet" for each person on the castle construction site - and distributed them to everyone present.

The Sleif workers and experienced workers present took over the helmets calmly and were used to wearing them on the construction site.

Arcadio said "uh", took the helmet, and looked at it a few times.

"To be honest, it's not pretty, but thank you anyway."

Guard Binxi and his eldest brother also took the helmets and tried to put them on.

It has to be said that the two brothers are wearing chainmail cedars, with crossbows and scimitars at their waists, and copper-colored safety helmets on their heads. Their style of painting is somewhat magical.

The masked devil smiled and said: "Dear Arcadio, the price of a piece of full-body armor, I heard that the market price in the Kingdom of Spain is about 1,500 gold coins."

The noble young man nodded: "The price of an ordinary knight's full-body armor is roughly the same, and it is enough to be a hereditary heirloom."

The devil weighed the helmet in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"This hollow quilted brass helmet was designed by me and made by the blacksmiths and craftsmen of Gus City."

"The cost is about 70 silver coins each."

"Full body armor may only be owned by a few people."

"But at least, no matter how rich or poor, everyone should have at least one safety helmet."

Arcadio smiled and shrugged without comment.

The campfire creates light in the dark night.

However, this always requires burning firewood,

Until all the firewood is burned to the point of being incombustible.
