Chapter 152 - 152, New Slave Joins _1
Hearing the slave trader’s words, Fang Hao was at a loss for words.
Damn, he can really talk up his product.
I’m not blind. Can’t I see the characteristics of these two races?
“Didn’t you say that all the slaves have been trained? These have just been captured. Won’t there be any issues?” Fang Hao looked at the slave trader.
The rabbitmen he had purchased last time had a blank expression, clearly accepting their status as slaves.
However, these fox ladies in front of him were crying and frightened, clearly just captured.
If he bought them, and they acted out, it would be too much for him.
“No, my friend,” the slave trader walked to the iron cage and struck the bars with an iron rod in his hand. “Shut up. Anyone who dares to cry will be fed to the dogs.”
The roar and the clinking sound of the iron rod made the fox ladies shudder, biting back tears.
“As you can see, although the fox people are a group of weak orcs, they are still quite intelligent. They know if they should choose to stay with you, or be eliminated. The slave contracts are complete, there won’t be any issues.” The orc slave trader professed with conviction.
He had captured these fox ladies just to sell them to Fang Hao, just like he had done with the rabbit people.
With just a few of them, it was not worth it for the slave trader to transport them to human cities for sale.
If Fang Hao didn’t purchase them, they would be at a loss, and the fate of these fox ladies would not be good.
“What’s the price of fox people?” Fang Hao hesitated.
“Look, we are old friends. I cannot give you a high price. The price is the same as the rabbit people. 10 Warfire Coins each.” The slave trader said.
He had sold 40 rabbit people to Fang Hao earlier. After bargaining, they were sold at 10 Warfire Coins each.
After returning, the slave trader had recalculated the price several times.
He found that it was more profitable to sell it to Fang Hao than transporting it to a human city to sell.
So, while selling other slave orcs, he had also brought along the freshly-captured fox ladies and directly contacted Fang Hao.
“Okay, get the contracts. I’ll take all of them,” Fang Hao said directly.
The slave trader was immediately overjoyed, “Please wait a moment. I’ll fetch them right away.”
He went to the side room, fetched a few slave contracts, and handed them to Fang Hao.
From now on, the fox ladies before him had a new master.
A human who came with a female orc hero.
“Okay, everyone come out and follow your master. You can enjoy a full meal,” the slave suggested, continuously clanging the cage to urge the unwilling slaves to come out.
The five brown-tailed fox ladies just stood there blankly, with their heads down, unable to raise their gaze to Fang Hao.
“Okay, stop crying, follow me. I’ll give you food first,” Fang Hao said to all of the slaves.
After speaking, he led the fox people out of the warehouse.
He headed towards the direction of the Clan Leader’s hall.
When he arrived at the Clan Leader’s hall, the Minotaur guards respectfully greeted him. “Sir, the Clan Leader is waiting for you inside.”
“Alright, get them some food first,” Fang Hao looked at the five slaves following him.
“Yes, sir,” The Minotaur guard immediately followed Fang Hao’s instructions.
He entered the hall.
Bronze Bull Talok was polishing his battle axe.
Seeing Fang Hao and Anjia come in, he immediately put down his weapon and bowed, “Lord.”
Bronze Bull is a purple hero.
Among the heroes, he is considered to be a high-ranking battle hero.
But in Fang Hao’s hands, he is but a small part of his forces.
Having him would allow for an additional commanding hero, but not having him wouldn’t affect the situation at all.
“Alright, has there been any news from Skullcrusher?” Fang Hao asked, sitting down on a seat at his side.
Bronze Bull did not sit back on his seat as the Clan Leader, but instead sat on a chair at the side.
He said seriously, “Sir, I have already arranged for people to explore the Frostwind Mountains for information, but they might not have arrived yet.”
Today was the second day after the battle with the Skullcrusher Tribe. The people he had arranged were still on the road, they hadn’t reached Frostwind Mountains, let alone gathered any information.
“That’s right. By the way, the Merit Training Ground has been built in the territory. If your clansmen need to advance their hero level, they can go to the main territory.”
Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Bronze Bull’s eyes instantly narrowed as he immediately said, “That’s great. Establishing the Merit Training Ground can motivate my clansmen to improve and increase the number of heroes in the territory.”
The presence of a Merit Training Ground can greatly influence a faction.
Having a Merit Training Ground will attract Tenth Order soldiers from neighbouring cities to become heroes. Those aspiring to become heroes also require the Merit Training Ground for their upgrades.
Therefore, the existence of a Merit Training Ground not only cultivates more heroes but also attracts other talents to join.
“Well, as for advanced materials, you and your clansmen need not worry. I’ll prepare them for you,” said Fang Hao casually.
There aren’t many heroes who can be promoted within the territory.
Nelson, Anjia, Bronze Bull.
And the materials needed for the trial can be purchased from the Trade Alliance. The cost is bearable, so there’s no need to fuss over it with the heroes.
Letting them prepare on their own would only hamper their growth.
“Thank you master, the Minotaur clan is immensely grateful to you.” Bronze Bull stood up and paid his respects again.
At the same time, Fang Hao also received a system prompt.
[Bronze Bull – Tellock, has increased his loyalty towards you by 20 points, current loyalty is at 85.]
Bronze Bull’s loyalty has finally improved.
If it were to improve, it improved by a straight 20 points, reaching 85 points.
This loyalty is already quite high, and he will be more obedient to Fang Hao’s commands.
“Alright, 1 won’t bother you anymore. If there is anything, get in touch using the Sound-transmitting Shell. I’m going back first,” Fang Hao stood up.
“Alright, master.”
Before leaving Manim Market, Fang Hao went to the tavern. In addition to getting some condiments, he also got a single map.
[Map: Cave Camp]
[Category: Single Map]
(Description: A map drawn by a travelling merchant, recording the path and terrain of the Cave Camp.)
Manim Market just opened, and this is the only blueprint in the store.
Last time, the unknown cave blueprint that was obtained from the tavern, because it was on the west side of Manim Market, Fang Hao had Bronze Bull send someone to scout it first.
After confirming the message, he could explore it.
When Fang Hao left Manim with the purchased slaves, Bronze Bull arranged a minotaur guard for protection.
Primarily to ensure that Fang Hao was safe and won’t face any danger here.
He returned to the territory without any obstruction.
The scene that had been performed several times repeated itself again.
When the slaves saw the dense Undead Army, except for two who fainted, the remaining three hugged each other and wept bitterly.
Having seen this repeatedly, Fang Hao didn’t bother to explain or comfort them anymore.
He left them crying there.
When the team entered the city, Eira, along with a group of maids, came out to greet them. On seeing a few fainted fox people on the cart, everyone looked somewhat peculiar.
But thinking about their own experiences, they understood why this happened.
“Eira, explain the rules in our territory to them and tell them about the work they’ll do in the future. They can rest today and begin work tomorrow.” “Understood, master.” Replied Eira softly.
They had to specially instruct the new Fox people about the territory and tell them where they can and can’t go.
Especially the undead region, a single misplaced step could turn them into skeletons.
Fang Hao left everything to Eira and started making stone slabs at the warehouse location.
[Stone Slab: Stone Material 3.]
The stone slab was a reward obtained from fighting the Stone Element previously. It had been busy previously, so the construction of the stone slab was pushed till now.
The function of the stone slabs is simple, they serve as the paving stones for outdoor roads.
Currently, the ground inside the territory is all made of compacted earth.
It wasn’t that Fang Hao arranged manpower to deliberately fix it, but rather it was packed down by hundreds of thousands of skeletons every day.
That was why the ground was ripe for paving with stone slabs.
Now, some tasks can be undertaken by the bought slaves, so the paving of stones can proceed normally.
The production quantity is set to 100.
