Chapter 134 Return of the Caravan
As soon as Alexander returned to the Emerald Territory, he received good news.
Suso returned with the caravan.
"Alexander, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief when I see you." The tired Suso was overjoyed when he saw Alexander who had just left the lord's mansion. He walked quickly to him and said, "I brought the goods back safely.
By the way, there are also coinage molds applied for from Nagsh City."
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Alexander pulled Suso's arm and motioned for him to go in before talking.
There are many people outside, and there are some things that only those in charge of the Emerald Territory need to know.
"How was your trip?"
Alexander asked as he watched Suso drink up the tea presented to him by the barbarian girl.
"Not bad. We sold all the goods we brought out of the territory, and purchased ten war horses and twenty cattle from Nagsh City. As for the slaves, I only purchased two hundred slaves," Suso said.
, while taking out a piece of parchment from his arms.
"This is the list of this trade. Alexander, please take a look."
Alexander took the bill and looked through it.
It has to be said that as a son of a nobleman, Suso is really talented in business. With the connections of the Allen family, the goods Suso brought were sold at a good price, and it was only because of Kim Muli's ability to build them.
The ten sets of refined dwarf armors were sold for a high price of six hundred gold eagle coins each. You must know that these ten sets of refined armors are only standard medium-sized armors, but they can be sold for the price of heavy-duty half-length armors.
Including the one hundred sets of light standard equipment and two hundred kilograms of pickled fish, Suso sold nearly eleven thousand Golden Eagle coins in this trip.
Then ten heavy war horses and matching saddles cost nearly 5,000 gold eagle coins, twenty cattle cost nearly 2,000 gold eagle coins, and two hundred slaves cost nearly a thousand gold eagle coins, plus
There should still be a gap of 3,000 Golden Eagle coins for the taxes that still need to be paid.
Facing Alexander's questioning eyes, Suso said unhurriedly: "I heard a rumor in Nagesh City. In order to prevent accidents, I spent all the remaining funds to buy grain."
"What rumors?"
Alexander asked with some surprise. Suso had seen many big scenes with him, and at least he had seen the real God once. It was impossible for him to throw all the remaining funds into food for a trivial matter.
So, what happened?
"I heard in Nagesh City," Suso lowered his voice, "that in New Jersey, traces of a large number of snake people were found. There were even legendary strongmen among the snake people who launched an attack on the temple in the city. Although they were suppressed
It went down, but more than half of New Jersey City was destroyed."
Speaking of this, Suso's face was full of worry. "Hearing this news, the price of food in the entire Northland wilderness has increased by one-fifth. I'm a little worried, so..."
"Suso, you did the right thing." Alexander patted Suso on the shoulder and reassured him.
He really didn't expect that the incident at the auction would have such a follow-up.
Those snake-men were so courageous that they dared to attack the church's temple.
The church under the crown of Tempus was completely built in the style of a small fortress. Coupled with the group of priests and paladins who visited the domain, this group of snake men had many heads to attack there.
In Alexander's view, the difficulty of attacking the Temple of Tempus is no different from directly attacking the city lord's palace in New Jersey City.
"However, the slaves purchased this time are not very good. Most of the skilled craftsman slaves were bought by the nobles." When he said this, Suso looked a little guilty on his face. Although he was also a viscount,
But the nobles in Nagesh City all know his origin, he is just an illegitimate son.
Those slave traders would rather offend themselves than offend the nobles in the city.
"It's okay, you've done your best." Alexander patted Suso's shoulder and said comfortingly, "For these two hundred slaves, divide the labor among the craftsman slaves according to their own abilities, and let them build the road with the rest."
Alexander quickly figured out where to go for these slaves. The road between Blackthorn Castle and Emerald Castle is now just a narrow dirt road. With this batch of slaves, this road can be built into a real bluestone road, so that
Now, the connection between the two castles has become much more convenient, and the one-way time has been shortened by at least half.
As for the beasts in Calabash Valley, most of them were persuaded to leave thanks to Finley, the psion. It wasn't that they didn't want to keep them as pets or mounts, but the dinosaurs had terrifying appetites that Alexander said he really couldn't keep.
He has these big eaters. Soon, he will have five tundra dragons to raise.
Only the proud saber-toothed tiger was targeted by Tiger and now became his mount.
"By the way, this is the mold for casting golden eagle coins. Alexander, you must keep it safe."
Suso carefully took out a set of molds that exuded a faint spiritual light from the dimensional bag he carried with him and placed them on the table.
This set of molds is infused with a trace of the divine power of the Goddess of Wealth, and the coins cast naturally possess an extremely weak divine power, making them the best anti-counterfeiting labels in the world.
"Suso, have you bought the things I asked you to buy?" Alexander asked.
Susol was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "You mean, those specialties from the North? I bought them, I bought a lot!"
"Very good!" Alexander gave Suso a thumbs up.
"Look at my brain!" Suso suddenly hit his head as if he remembered something. "I met a group of refugees from New Jersey City in the wilderness, about four hundred of them. I heard about you, Lord Alexander.
After the heroic deeds of defeating the ogre tribe, they voluntarily followed the caravan to the Emerald Territory. Because there were so many people, I didn't dare to let them in, so I asked them to wait at the gate of the Emerald Territory city."
"You guys gave me a surprise." Alexander pointed at Suso and smiled.
Freedmen are the ones most lacking in the Emerald Territory right now.
You know, the power of example is infinite.
With this group of people as examples, those slaves will work harder in order to accumulate enough contribution points to redeem themselves in the shortest time.
"Come on, let's go meet these guys."
Alexander stood up and said.
However, before he could walk out of the lord's mansion, he heard a clear female voice coming from outside the lord's mansion.
"I said, is this how your lord treats a powerful mage and a noble woman?"
Hearing this voice, Suso, who was following Alexander, couldn't help but cover his eyes.
