Lao Bai, his forty newly acquired slaves and his sister walked out of the rainforest and headed for the city of Lima.////
The current number of slaves that Lao Bai can carry is thirty. This number refers to the maximum number of slaves that can be escorted while walking on land. If the number of slaves escorted exceeds this number and the slaves are not loyal enough, they will run away.
.
Although the thirty-one slaves taken in by Lao Bai this month are not loyal enough, the seven taken in last month and the Theodora sisters have been trained by Lao Bai for a long time, and each of them has the attribute of xx love.
Their loyalty is extremely high, so they don't need to be counted among the thirty slaves that can be carried. Even if these people let them run away now, they will not run away.
In addition, Lao Bai can also designate six slave guards. The slave guards are not included in the thirty places, so there is no problem at all for him to embark on the journey with these forty slaves.
Even if there are five more, there will be no problem. For those slaves who are not loyal enough, they will naturally be trained as they go. As a warrior of love, Lao Bai only needs to give her a xx love attribute, then he does not have to worry about escaping.
Problem.
Everyone crossed the mountains and returned to the city of Lima. Lao Bai went to the hotel and got a room to let his slaves rest, and then went to the Governor's Palace in Esconte.
Esconte was very busy, and Lao Bai waited for a long time before he got the chance to see him.
At this time, the overlord of South America was dressed in formal attire. He sat in his seat and nodded to Lao Bai. He looked at Lao Bai with a half-smiling look and said, "You are back. How did you complete the mission?"
Lao Bai said forward: "I have unified the nine Amazon tribes into three tribes, and six tribes have formed an alliance to deal with me together. The situation is serious, and I need your help."
Esconte raised his eyebrows, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He said in a very sincere tone: "If you have any difficulties, just ask, and I will do my best to help you."
After hearing these words, Lao Bai felt relieved. He immediately said: "I need a lot of weapons and equipment, otherwise it will be impossible to defeat the enemy."
Esconte said: "No problem. What weapons and equipment do you want?"
Lao Bai said: "Leather armor, spear, battle axe, javelin, bow and arrow, light shield."
Esconte nodded and said: "No problem, how much do you want?"
Lao Bai said: "Probably ten thousand pieces will come first."
Hearing the large sum of 10,000 pieces, Esconte's smile became even brighter. He said in a friendly manner: "No problem. But we need to talk about the price first. The ordinary quality leather armor I have here costs 5,000 gold coins a piece..."
Lao Bai immediately said: "Five thousand gold coins? Isn't it too expensive?"
Esconte shook his head and said: "This is not Europe, this is the New World. There is a cost to transport my weapons. In South America, no one can sell you weapons in large quantities except me.
The price is already quite fair.”
Lao Bai couldn't help but curse in his heart: Your sister! When we didn't talk about money, she was always polite and said she would give her full support. Now when it comes to money, she immediately reveals her face as a profiteer! I'm helping you with the task, you
Not only did you not give me a large amount of discounts, but you also wanted to make a lot of money from it? Isn't it too cheating?
Although he was unhappy, Lao Bai did not want to offend Esconte, so he could only continue to discuss: "Mr. Governor, I remember that the price of leather armor is about one thousand gold coins in the place where the leather armor is produced. You can be a middleman.
It’s enough to earn twice the price difference, is it necessary to increase it five times?”
Esconte sighed: "You don't know, that damn pirate Maldenard is at war with our army recently. Every time I purchase goods, he will take half of them away. The cost is doubled. Me too.
It’s so helpless.”
Lao Bai said: "Mr. Governor, I am helping you with a task. Do you want to give me some discount? The price you mentioned is too outrageous."
Esconte said: "No, you are not serving me personally, but you are bringing glory to the empire!"
There is a black line on Lao Bai's head.
Esconte saw Lao Bai's expression and immediately comforted him: "I understand your plight very well, and I also want to help you free of charge. But you have to know that I am also serving the empire and my rights are limited. If I
Secretly giving up the interests of the empire to support you for free. If you fail, the money will be invested in vain. This is harm to the interests of the empire! And I am the most patriotic person..."
Lao Bai talked to him for a long time, but couldn't explain the reason. He had to call up the system menu and take a look at the city's financial situation. After buying the entire emerald mine, Lao Bai's finances were already stretched thin, and now I'm afraid
I can't afford just a batch of leather armor. Money, money, this is a big problem. Lao Bai frowned, thinking to himself that as the city lord, he was already wealthy, but he still couldn't have enough money. What should the others do?
?
He immediately figured out the problem. This task must be done slowly and not in a hurry. In his previous life, Nemo only truly dominated the rainforest more than ten years later. He was able to pacify nine Amazons in a few months.
Three-thirds is already remarkable, and there will be a long process of racial development behind it. The Alliance of Six Races should not launch a battle in a short period of time. Their hearts are not yet united, and they have more of a wait-and-see attitude. So the old
Bai should have a lot of time to develop and make money.
Since the things were so expensive, Lao Bai decided to wait until the funds slowed down. Anyway, he had already collected enough crew members, but he could make money by running a business first. Then again, Nemo's profession was an arms dealer, and he was really good in a mission like this.
It has innate advantages. Lao Bai has no career bonus, so if he wants to buy goods, he will be taken advantage of.
Lao Bai asked again: "Sir Governor, if I buy something, how long will it take for you to deliver it to us?"
Esconte looked at Lao Bai and said: "I think you may have made a mistake. The Empire will not be involved in matters in the rainforest, so you can purchase goods from me, but we will not deliver to your door.
You can choose any city in which I hold shares as a delivery location, and we will deliver the goods there. As for how to transport it into the rainforest, that is your personal matter."
"If you don't want to deliver the goods, let me transport them myself?" Lao Bai frowned, "Then why should I buy the goods from you? Can't I just go directly to Europe to buy the goods?"
Esconte smiled and said: "That is your personal right. But I would like to remind you that pirates are rampant in the Atlantic Ocean, and not everyone can travel to Europe."
Seeing Esconte smiling so proudly, Lao Bai secretly thought that I was really sorry. I am really one of the few people who can fly European routes.
However, Lao Bai did not say this out loud, because being so tit-for-tat would easily lower his friendship. He just said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Governor, I find that I don't have enough money, so I'm afraid I won't be able to purchase goods from you for the time being."
Esconte said: "It doesn't matter. You can come to me at any time when you need help."
What's the use of looking for you? No money, no action! Lao Bai cursed again. He bowed and said to Esconte: "Then I'll take my leave now, Mr. Governor."
Esconte waved to Lao Bai and said, "Wait a minute."
When Lao Bai heard this, he stopped and looked at Esconte with some confusion.
Esconte took out the portrait of Cecilia's father, Theobald, and said to Lao Bai: "Do you remember this person? If you have information about this person and help us catch him, in the future you
Buy from me and I can give you a 50% discount."
Lao Bai opened his eyes wide: "50% off?"
Esconte nodded and said: "Yes, 50% off, everything is 50% off."
Lao Bai glanced at the portrait and thought to himself, Cecilia, your father is really valuable. He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Governor, do you have any copies of this portrait? Give me a few, so that I can let those in the rain forest
The Amazons have a reference, follow this picture to find someone."
Esconte said: "There is a copy, but you have to keep this matter a little secret and don't let irrelevant people know about it. This person is very important."
Lao Bai nodded. Esconte then gave him a roll of Theobald's portrait.
After walking out of Esconte's Governor's Mansion, Lao Bai decided to go back to Lily City to take a look. As for purchasing goods, he planned to run European routes by himself. He would have to die if he expected Esconte, a profiteer, to help him.
Although there were enough crew members, Lao Bai did not buy a boat in Lima City because Lima City is on the Pacific side. After buying the boat, it would have to go around half of the America to reach the Atlantic Ocean, which was too troublesome. So he still took the boat
After taking a passenger ship, we first went to Lily City, then departed from Lily City and crossed the Isthmus of America to buy a boat in Portovero City on the Atlantic Ocean, which is a little closer.
Just like that, Lao Bai returned to Lily City with forty slaves. It had been more than two months since he left for this mission, but he had thought badly of Sera and the others. Lao Bai saw all the girls running to the dock with their bellies bulging.
I was extremely touched when I came to greet him. To be honest, he had only been with the Amazons for too short a time and had no feelings for him, but Sera and the others had been with him for more than a year, so this meeting was more of a farewell than a wedding.
Despite the many inconveniences of being pregnant, Lao Bai still paid 50p at the unanimous request of everyone. Well, 50p. His sister did not participate and only watched the fun from the side. Huiyu was extremely shy, but he was still pulled in by everyone.
Lao Bai is not afraid that those forty slaves will get pregnant. He cannot be afraid of choking to death when eating. If he is afraid of getting pregnant, he will not be able to practice his skills.
Lao Bai estimates that there will be no problems in the first two months of pregnancy. In the third month, Lao Bai will use a blessing and wait eight days to harvest a group of babies. It can also increase the population of the territory. Why not?
Then again, since you want to increase the population of the territory - then the quintuplets are the best!
After a scuffle, all the girls were satisfied. Cecilia was the longest pregnant among the girls and had the biggest belly. After the battle, Lao Bai picked her up and played with her belly.
Cecilia leaned into Lao Bai's arms, took Lao Bai's hand and asked: "Master, do you prefer Cecilia to have a boy or a girl?"
Lao Bai said: "Both boys and girls are born the same."
Cecilia said again: "Master, do you want Cecilia to give birth to a boy or a girl?"
Fatima smiled and said: "Cecilia, the master asks you to give birth to a boy or a girl, can you do what the master tells you to do?"
Cecilia thought for a while and said with a smile: "If I don't succeed once, I can do it a few more times. I can always give birth to what the master wants. Master, doesn't it?"
Lao Bai smiled and thought that he would tell them about his expertise later.
Cecilia asked Lao Bai again: "Master, do you think mother will give birth to a brother or a sister for Cecilia?" (To be continued.
