The slave traders had dry mouths and shortness of breath. The slaves were speechless and dumbfounded. Kalenich and the two men looked at each other, both of them moved. And the little slave owner Piba felt regretful - if he had known this,
This guy is so rich, I should have given him a big blow.
Not to mention them, even Grandet was confused for a while. Although he knew that Roy had the Red Leaf Knights behind him, he also knew that this young master who killed hundreds of people with a magic pattern array was not at all what he looked like.
Honest and simple. But he never dreamed that Roy's net worth would be much richer than his murderous methods!
If he hadn't known that Roy was really just a commoner, if he hadn't gotten to know people like Hans and Ken from Borabel, and heard them talk about Roy's past, Grandet would have almost suspected that he was the illegitimate son of the Hongye Carré family.
Got it!
Looking at the precious magic core furs all over the ground, Grandet's heart was bleeding.
The normal auction price for one hundred and twenty elves is only 200,000 gold lang. Even if there were a few good ones among them, if the price was doubled, 400,000 gold lang would be as high as the sky. But no one expected that
, Miqi actually raised the price to 860,000 gold lang. Such a large amount of money, even if it was placed in the Flintstone Financial Group, would still be a strain!
"This prodigal bitch!" Grandet looked at Mitch sideways and cursed in his heart, while secretly rejoicing, "Although our Miss Malt is also an elf, her brain is much better than hers!"
Grandet did not have a good impression of Miki and her mercenary companions.
Back in Meiding City, as Fergus's butler, he was fully involved in the caravan's hiring of mercenaries, its departure, and its march to Munich City. Even the two mercenary teams of [Fierce Light] and [Strong Light]
The deposit was paid by him himself.
In Grandet's view, since these guys are mercenaries, they should have the ability and awareness to solve problems for their employers. No matter what method is used, the safety of the caravan must be ensured.
If they had been more attentive, professional, and cautious enough about some suspicious issues when they were in Meiding City, they could have completely avoided being attacked by the Black Skeleton Bandit Group. At worst, the caravan would have been on the road a few days later, otherwise
, you can also take measures such as breaking it into parts, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, or asking the consortium to send people for support.
But these are professional things for mercenaries. Not only did they not do a good job, but they also sneered at Roy who noticed that something was wrong, saying that the nose was not the nose and the eyes were not the eyes. What was especially hateful was that this elf named Miki actually put the
The knife was placed on the young master's neck.
The more he thought about it, the more unkindly Grandet looked at Mickey, and the rough breath coming out of his nose was as hot as a dragon's breath. He, Grandet, was a grateful person. The young master saved Master Fergus.
, and saved his own life, how could he just watch this damn elf waste the young master's money and remain indifferent!
...........
...........
Grandet's gaze was not seen by Miqi. At this time, she was completely confused.
After escorting the caravan to Munich City and handing over the mission, Miqi temporarily bid farewell to the mercenary team and explored the news of her captured tribesmen alone.
She already knew about the elf auction before she came to Munich. Therefore, she rented a small attic outside the slave market and observed and inquired every day. Soon, she saw the slave traders during a transfer.
The elf was locked in a prison car. At the same time, she was surprised to find that her tribe was also among them!
In two years, this was the first time that Miqi saw her relatives. She once tried to approach the rescue secretly. However, because the slave traders were extremely vigilant and there were several powerful thugs among the thugs they supported, so
Miki's several rescue plans all ended in failure.
Seeing that the auction was about to begin, Miqi became cruel and asked the mercenary team captains Alder and Shara to borrow three thousand gold coins, plus the more than two thousand gold coins she had saved, which she used to hire a carriage and buy clothes.
and jewelry, paid the auction deposit, dressed up as an arrogant and arrogant noble lady, and sneaked into the auction house.
The only thing she can do now is to sabotage the auction and prevent her people from being bought by different nobles. As long as the auction fails, at least in the short term, the slave traders will not be able to get rid of the elves in large numbers, and they may even transfer them to other cities.
Going to the auction gave her time and opportunity to plan again.
The plan went smoothly at first. The auction deposit of five thousand gold coins made the slave traders never think that someone would come to make trouble with their money. But what Miqi didn't expect was that she was not able to leave smoothly. More
Unexpectedly, just when she thought she was totally unlucky, she met Roy. Moreover, he even extended a helping hand to her.
For this, the price Roy paid was the precious magic core worth hundreds of thousands of gold in front of him, which made everyone hold their breath. Sanctuary.com

........
Amidst the sound of heavy breathing, Snari half-squinted his eyes and looked at the things in front of him. For a long time, his eyes fell on the space ring on Roy's hand.
Snary is forty years old this year. He is the battalion commander of the first battalion of the Fifth Army Infantry, an Imperial Knight, and a Baron. In terms of knowledge, he is far more knowledgeable than the others present. Therefore, when everyone else's eyes are focused on
When he was on the magic core, he completely focused on Roy's space ring.
Snari has seen many space rings. In fact, he has one on his hand.
However, most of the space rings used by him and the nobles around him are only the size of ordinary boxes. At most, they can only be placed with a sword or a bow. In this way, the price of a space ring exceeds 10,000 gold lang.
, who are not rich or lords with territories, simply cannot afford it.
But the space ring of the young man in front of them is far more advanced than them. Just from the magic cores, furs and bones in front of them, it can be seen that the space in the ring is at least the size of a room. Such a ring,
It's not something you can buy if you have money. And the identity of a young man who can own such a ring may not be simple.
"I haven't asked for advice yet, you are..." Snari decided to find out first. Although as a member of the Fifth Legion, he was not afraid of anyone in this province, including Archduke Adolf.
However, he was still afraid of some of the old families in the imperial capital. He didn't want to offend a monster he couldn't afford to offend in a daze.
However, Roy obviously didn't want to have anything to do with him. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am willing to pay him, and you are willing to let him go."
As he said that, he turned to look at Mi Qi and continued: "According to the rules, since she has paid the auction deposit, then even if she regrets it, you can just deduct the deposit. The money is already yours, if you want to move it again
I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk about using a knife or a gun, right?"
Seeing Roy with a sneer on his lips, the slave traders present felt guilty. Even Snarly's face looked a little uncomfortable.
What Roy said was indeed the rules in the auction house. If he really wanted to be reasonable, then he could give up the deposit of five thousand gold and refuse to implement the previous bidding price. No one could do anything to him. After all, this was Adolf
The capital of Lullian under the rule of the Grand Duke, no matter how arrogant they are, they must abide by the rules here.
"Okay!" Snari nodded, knowing that when things got to this point, he couldn't take any more advantage. In addition, he didn't know the other party's details, so he simply said: "In this case, then I will be more straightforward. Here.
I will ask someone to calculate the price immediately. How many slaves will you take with you? However, the rest of the transaction..."
Looking at Snari's gloomy eyes, Roy simply said: "I admit it!"
“It’s a deal!”
.............

Counting the magic core materials and calculating prices one by one is an extremely time-consuming job. For every piece of magic core and every piece of fur, Old Grandet would argue with each other red-faced, and he would not suffer even a copper Sani's loss.
It was a huge advantage, so that Nasnary later looked at Grandet with a rather unkind look.
Taking advantage of this time, Roy also pulled Miki aside to inquire about the cause of the matter.
Mi Qi lowered her head and told the whole story honestly.
There are many things that even her companions in the Lieguang Team don't know. But for some reason, when she saw Roy's eyes, she had no intention of hiding anything. From how the village was attacked two years ago, how the tribesmen were captured, and how she entered
In the human world, join the mercenary group and keep talking until you escape from the auction house.
It's like a flood that has burst its banks.
It wasn't until she finished pouring out all the words she had accumulated in her heart for two years that Miki stopped. Finally, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and whispered: "Roy, I'm sorry...thank you."
Although apologies and thanks are definitely a bit awkward and confusing to put together, this is what Miki wants to say to Roy most at the moment.
She said sorry because she always felt that she owed Roy an apology for the misunderstanding and conflict she had with Roy in the team. But thank you, it means too much. For today, for her people, and for everyone in the Liangguang Team
member.
On the way to escort the caravan to Munich, Roy once saved the lives of everyone in the team.
Not only that, because of this mission, the Lieguang Team was a blessing in disguise, jumping from a third-level team to a fifth-level mercenary team, shocking the entire mercenary community in Munich. .com
In the mission hall's level system, missions are divided into six levels from e to s according to difficulty.
The lowest-level E-level missions are usually undertaken by low-level mercenary squads and mercenary newcomers. The highest-level S-level missions require some super mercenary squads or even several mercenary groups to join together to complete. In order to complete a
During missions, four or five mercenary groups were collectively wiped out from time to time.
Because the difficulty gap between each level is very large. Therefore, for each difficulty level, the points given by the mission hall are in the range of 5 times to 20 times of the lower level difficulty task. In other words, completing a B level
For tasks, the points can reach a minimum of twenty-five times that of a D-level task, and a maximum of four hundred times!
But this time, when the escort mission entrusted by Fergus was reported to the mission hall, it was only a D-level mission.
After all, escorting a caravan from the city of Medin to the city of Munich, which only takes one day, is not only a short distance and a short time, but also the route is relatively safe. All mission conditions are considered minor in the mission hall's assessment.
scope of risk.
However, as the caravan encountered the Black Skeleton Bandit Group, and was even involved in the major case of Viscount Wenger's official collusion with bandits, this D-level difficulty task was directly adjusted to B-level. The points of the task increased as the difficulty increased.
To a terrifying level.
The points exceeded one hundred times the original mission. The levels of the two teams, [Fire Light] and [Stinging Light], instantly jumped directly from level three to level five. They entered the intermediate level mercenary team between level four and level six.
Line up!
For any mercenary team, its points level is the most valuable asset. Having a higher level means that they can get much higher rewards than before, can take on tasks that they could not take on before, and can
Gaining a higher status in the mercenary group can make many outstanding mercenaries flock to join!
At that time, as soon as the news spread in Munich, it caused a sensation.
On the one hand, everyone was shocked by the destruction of the Black Skeleton Bandit Group and the shocking answer of Viscount Wenge. On the other hand, they were jealous of the good luck of Lieguang and Thornmang Team. For a time, Lieguang and Thornmang Team became
Celebrities in the entire Munich mercenary circle. When everyone talks about them, they are filled with envy.
But only the two teams of mercenaries themselves know where their good luck came from. Without Roy, they would have become corpses on the highlands on the east bank of the Shilai River!
Everyone was grateful to Roy. When mercenaries traveled north and south, they always repaid kindness with enmity. Everyone had been discussing how to repay this kindness. But Miqi didn't expect that the previous things were not over yet.
He actually owed Roy another sum of money. This was no longer something that could be repaid with just a thank you.
However, Roy didn't seem to hear Miki's words.
At this time, he was frowning, looking at Snari not far away, and thinking.
Judging from Miqi's story, he can be sure that the people who attacked the elf village were members of the Fifth Legion. Two years ago, the Fifth Legion was stationed in the area where Miqi and the others were. Moreover, it was possible to count them
Hundreds of people attacked an elven village where everyone was skilled in archery. They were definitely not ordinary people.
In the St. Solan Empire, the Fifth Front Army Group does not have much of a good reputation. This group is not only loyal to Prime Minister Donald, but also tried to sacrifice Archduke Adolf's Lulian Army in the Battle of Medin City not long ago.
At the expense of the main force, they attacked Fei Lie's army's weak links in a roundabout way to gain military glory.
If it hadn't been for the Battle of Meiding, where the Lulian Army had won a complete victory and quickly moved forward under the command of Sophia, annihilating Philip's successor troops, I am afraid that the current city of Munich would have become the southern part of Philip's Army.
Base camp!
No Lurian likes the Fifth Legion.
However, as the empire's only frontier force in Lulian, no matter how much everyone hates the Fifth Legion, they can only endure it. Even after the Meiding City incident, the most severe punishment this legion received was only the Legion Commander Shi
Shi Ran returned to the imperial capital with a large amount of finances. None of the officers who were the backbone of the legion were held accountable.
And it is said that the newly appointed army commander is also a member of Prime Minister Donald's family. He arrived in Munich half a month ago, and he has no intention of meeting Archduke Adolf yet.
At present, most of the Fifth Army is stationed in Munich and several cities in the north of Lullian. On the contrary, Archduke Adolf and the Red Leaf Army are stationed on the battle line south of Meiding.
Although the royal family has ordered the Fifth Legion to move south several times to help strengthen the defense. However, this legion has been arrogant and nuisance to the local area, and has repeatedly asked Lulian to provide supplies and military pay. It has ignored them at all. Recently, it has been
Several conflicts broke out between the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army Corps and local people.
To be honest, when Roy took out the things just now, Roy himself felt a lot of pain.
If it were another slave trader, maybe he would have asked Fergus or Philip to find a solution. But unfortunately, this Snari was from the Fifth Legion.
Roy once heard Philip say that the relationship between the Red Leaf Army and the Fifth Army was on fire. In addition to the opposing positions of the two sides in the imperial political structure, it was also due to the conflict of family interests. Especially the newly appointed
Boli, the commander of the army, was the eldest son of the finance minister who was competing with the Carré family.
Roy doesn't want to get involved in the struggle between nobles, at least not yet. But these elf slaves are very important to him, so he has no other way now except using money to solve it.
But...the money is not that easy to get!
Sooner or later, I will vomit them all out!

When the carriages transporting slaves appeared one after another on the winding road at the foot of Green Tower Manor, everyone in the manor was alarmed.
The maids crowded around the windows of the small building and looked around; Hans, who was holding a long rope to tame the horse in the horse farm, had a smile on his face; Father Ken, who was repairing farm tools, raised his head and stood up; and the man who was pruning the leaves under the fruit tree
Mai Ya'er and Sister Xiao Lan simply pulled off the handkerchiefs wrapping their hair and ran towards the gate of the manor.
More people poured out from all sides of the manor and gathered on both sides of the road leading to the fountain in the main building. Looking at the mighty motorcade, everyone's face was filled with joy and excitement.
The name Green Tower Manor came from when Malya was walking on the grassy hillside one morning in the pale golden morning light and saw the mottled green water tower on the tall wooden frame next to the warehouse. Although
It was just a whim, but I didn't expect that this name would be liked by everyone in the manor.
The new name was just decided. And a new life began on this land.
Since he bought the manor and Roy went to the college, Maler and everyone in the manor have devoted all their enthusiasm to the construction of the manor.
Although the slaves left by the predecessor of the manor are still recuperating, a small number of them who are in good health are already able to work. In addition, more than 30 Polabel farmers, including Old Maxim and other families who were first taken in by Roy, have already moved.
After entering the newly built wooden house and starting to cultivate the fields, the entire manor suddenly became full of vitality.
In this war-torn world, everyone in the manor cherishes the opportunity to live in such a peaceful land of their own.
They repainted the exterior walls of the small building, repaired the railings and tattered walls of the horse farm, rebuilt the vineyard shelves, and cleaned up the water plants and mud in the pond. The farmland was carefully plowed.
Again, the irrigation canals were dredged, and a waterwheel frame was even erected beside the clear creek flowing through the manor.
The revitalized manor is changing every day. It becomes younger and more vigorous.
Early this morning, Grandet asked the coachman to prepare a carriage and go into the city.
Everyone in the manor knew that Grandet, the great butler, went to the first training camp to find the young master because of the urgent need for labor in the manor. He said that he would drag the young master out of the academy no matter what and solve the matter.
.
Since the young master entered the academy, he has not returned to the manor in the past week. Not only Miss Malt, Hans and Father Ken talk about him every day, but also the servants and slaves in the academy,
I also look forward to seeing the young master who is already a quasi-knight in training camp uniform.
In everyone's mind, being admitted to the knight training camp means that you will definitely become a noble in the future. If young master Roy can achieve such an achievement, not only will they be honored, but their future status will also rise, and their lives will be more promising.
!
In the blink of an eye, a convoy of more than a dozen large vehicles and a black box carriage had already entered the manor. As the convoy arrived, the figures of Ivan and the three outstanding figures riding war horses appeared like ghosts.
The woods in the distance sped out, and after a moment of galloping, they already appeared on both sides of the convoy.
The motorcade stopped in front of the manor. The crowd gathered around excitedly, but after a moment, everyone was stunned. The first carriage to come out was naturally Roy and Grandet. But those who came out of the taxi behind them
Slaves, except for the first few carriages which are normal humans, the rest are actually sixty or seventy young elves with sallow faces and skinny muscles!
"Look, it's an elf."
"so much?!"
The crowd suddenly became noisy. For most people here, although elves are not uncommon, it was the first time they saw such a large number of elves at one time.
You must know that the human coalition resisting the demons has been disbanded for more than two hundred years. After the Renaissance, the elves, whose rift with humans had deepened, took the lead in leaving the human world. Their entire tribe migrated to the inaccessible mountains.
In the jungle, a lakeside city was built that belonged entirely to them.
Following the elves, dwarves and gnomes also parted ways with humans. Each established dungeons and machine cities far away from human cities to live independently.
The scene where humans, elves, dwarves and other races lived together in the same city three hundred years ago no longer exists.
Now, except for some elven mercenaries in mercenary groups, everyone has only heard that there is an elven army with no more than 500 people under the royal family of the Solan Empire. And dwarves and dwarfs can only be found in some weapon shops or divine crafts halls.
They can only be seen occasionally here. Most of their other tribesmen carefully keep their distance from the human world.
No one expected that so many elves would come to the manor. Moreover, judging from the ragged appearance of these elves, they were no different from the slaves who got off the other cars.
Didn't the young master and Grandet buy so many elf slaves? How much would it cost? The price of sixty or seventy elves is enough to buy a dozen such manors!
Everyone was whispering to each other and discussing.
"You big head, come here..." Malt saw Mitch among the elves at a glance. He immediately grabbed Roy's arm and dragged him into the small building. Behind him, Jim
, Ivan, Grandet and others looked at each other and followed, leaving Jesse and Jackson to settle the slaves and elves.
"What's going on?" Maler asked impatiently as soon as he walked into the living room of the small building.
Roy scratched his head and told her everything that happened in the slave market today.
"Five hundred thousand gold!" As soon as he heard Roy talking about the discounted price of the last batch of magic cores and furs, Malyaer suddenly screamed and jumped up. He was gnashing his teeth, as if he was about to go berserk.
These magic cores were saved by hard work when she and Roy were hunting together when they were living in a desperate situation. Roy was a magician, so he used it himself, and Miss Maler had no objection at all. However, he put these
The eldest lady won’t do it anymore if she uses all the things to help others. This is simply poaching her heart!
The most disgusting thing is that this is to help that goblin named Miki!
You have such a big head... You must have fallen in love with that goblin because you are so small! That's right!
Seeing Mai Yaer's angry and suspicious eyes, Roy was afraid that she would go crazy on the spot, so he quickly said in front of Ivan and others with a sincere face: "You said, they are all of your race, I can
Don't you save them? Then you know how sad it will be."
Upon hearing Roy's words, everyone present nodded.
In everyone's opinion, Roy helped these elves, in addition to having fought side by side with Mi Qi and being friends in times of adversity. I'm afraid most of the reasons were because of Mal'er. After all, these are Mal'er's kin. If
If Roy refuses to save him, he may not be very sad when Maler finds out about it.
Malya'er, on the other hand, opened his mouth in disbelief.
Sad? I will be sad? I’m so sad! You’re so big-brained. You know that I’m a noble, pure and elegant dark elf. Who wants to be of the same race as these ugly, ugly monsters!
"What?" Roy blinked.
Mai Ya'er knew that her identity could not be exposed, but even though she was filled with hatred, her face looked touched. She took his arm, squeezed his ribs hard, and said tenderly, "Master, you are so kind.
"
One person suffered a dumb loss and it was even.
Roy endured the pain and turned to Grandet and said: "Mr. Grandet, in a moment you will find a doctor to check the health of all the slaves and elves who came today. By the way, please ask the gentleman named Kalenich to come.
Come to my lab."
"Okay, Master." Grandet said respectfully.
"Mr. Ivan," Roy turned his head and looked at Ivan: "Please help me contact Philip and ask him if he can help me get one hundred and twenty short bows made of black ironwood."
