Chapter 234: Slave, altar

And when he saw several familiar figures standing on the bow of the ship, Chateau’s face was full of smiles, except for the Leiden priest who had already agreed to come, the director of the Leighton Chamber of Commerce, Yarman, and the horse of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce. President Sa is here.
Soon, the "Lucky Owen" slowly approached the landing site, with a click, the springboard was released, and Xia Duo stepped onto the ship, just in time to see Old Owen coming from the stern.
Several people met together, "Lord Lord!"
Xia Duoyi agreed, and then said: "Captain Owen has worked hard all the way, let's rest first; Priest Leiden, first arrange for people to disembark, and the cargo that should be unloaded is unloaded."
"Yes." The two led away.
Only Yarman and Massa remained, and Chateau did not neglect, "Two, the first construction of the territory is temporarily unable to receive two of them, let's talk on this boat."
"Lord Lord, you are welcome. Don't blame us if we are uninvited."
"It's okay, Daxia Ling welcomes the two at any time, as well as Mrs. Patty, President Hans, and President Fleck to check the progress."
The contract between Xia Duo and them had an agreement on the progress of the development, but it was not very precise. Xia Duo had prepared them to come over a long time ago. After all, it was real money and silver, so you can only feel at ease if you see it with your own eyes.
It's just that Xia Duo didn't expect that in less than ten days, the prototype of the first phase of the project did not appear, they all came.
After a few words of free greeting, Xia Duo didn't have much desire to talk as the leaders got down the boat one by one, and the growth of the territory made him happy.
He probably counted it. This time, in addition to the more than 40 leaders he had not brought before, there were also more than 20 people in ragged clothes. Most of them had obvious chains on their wrists, their faces were yellow and thin, and their eyes were dull. The walking is not very stable.
At first glance, it is a slave from nowhere!
Xia Duo ordered a few people casually, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Look, can these people still work? President Massa, what do you say!"
"Lord Lord, these are fugitive slaves in the mainland. They are lucky if they didn't die, and this group of slaves only needs this number!" President Massa narrowed his eyes and stretched out to compare.
Xia Duo didn't like his small eyes, and deliberately said an exaggerated number, "Two gold coins?"
"The adults are joking. It's twenty gold coins. Adults don't think they are so thin now, but as long as they are fed for a while, they will recover soon!"
Massa's expression that you have made a lot of money made Chateau very speechless, but he did not refute it either. He knew that the price of a normal human slave was about one hundred gold coins, and that of a foreign race or someone with special talents would be more expensive.
Although the slaves Massa provided this time looked lifeless and thin, but as he said, as long as he recuperated for a period of time, he would be able to recover, and 20 gold coins were not expensive.
It would be inappropriate to just send these here.
"President Massa, next time there will be such slaves, they will be restored and restored in Savile before being sent over."
"My lord, this was arranged by the priest of Leiden." Massa said aggrievedly. In fact, he himself was willing to raise these slaves for a period of time.
How much food is worth, and the price of selling at a strong point can make up for it, and there is so much more! But who told his ship to unload at the port today and it was discovered by the priest of Leiden!
"Priest Leiden?" Xia Duo hadn't thought of the possibility of price increase for the time being. It was only when the suffering people were more likely to accept the new order, and if they gave some sweetness, they would die. The clergy should understand this aspect better.
"In this case, let's send it directly next time!"
"Yes." Massa looked sad.
Seeing Massa's appearance of a dead father, Xia Duo immediately reacted, and it was absolutely related to real interests.
After thinking about it a little bit, Xia Duo knew what the other party was playing and just ignored it.
...
Soon, all the personnel and materials were disembarked, because there were more people on this trip, and there were fewer materials. It was all food and a few tools.
And now that the Owen has arrived, Xia Duo's itinerary is almost certain. After inquiring about the recent wind direction of Owen, Xia Duo used the communication tool to make an agreement with Niya to go to the Master Tower to answer questions two days later.
These days, Xia Duo has collected a sack of questions and wants to ask Niya. During the period, he has figured out some of the questions himself, but the new students always have an endless stream.
Sometimes Xia Duo thinks, if there is a grandfather with him, it would be great!
In the afternoon, with newly joined leaders, a simple wooden house quickly took shape, with branches and trunks as bones, hay and soil mixed as walls, and branches and hay on top.
As there are more people, there will be more capable jobs, and Xia Duo feels that the progress of the development will be raised at once.
In the evening, the priest of Leiden came to Chateau’s small camp alone, "My lord, there are nearly a hundred people in the territory now, but I am going to build the altar."
"The altar?" Xia Duo asked in doubt. He suddenly realized that he didn't even know the function of the altar.
The altar he knew was almost a village-level temple, but Xia Duo hadn't even entered the temple, let alone the altar. The only knowledge he knew was limited to books and word of mouth in Savile.
"My lord, building an altar can comfort people's hearts."
The concept of soothing people's hearts is very broad, and even his lord shows up or shows a spell to soothe people's hearts, but what is more specific?
Xia Duo asked again: "Except for this? More specific."
Leiden quickly understood Chateau's idea~EbookFREE.me~ The altar can store holy water. "
That's right. If there is no practical effect, why bother to build the altar? Chateau has no prejudice about whether to build the altar, but only considers the actual effect.
"What is needed to build the altar? Can the current territory satisfy?"
"My lord, the Lord of Radiance is not the Lord of Strictness and Vanity, but the Lord of Mercy. It does not matter what the carrier of the altar is. The key is regulation and holy power. At this stage, wood can be used."
Since it was not complicated, Chateau directly allocated two lords to the priest of Leiden to build the altar.
Speaking of the altar, Chateau also has something to ask Leiden, "Have you been in contact with those slaves? Can you turn into a leader?"
"My lord, I don't recommend turning them into leaders immediately." Leiden said sternly, "These people are fugitive slaves, rebellious and must be enlightened first!"
"..."
Xia Duo really wanted to ask Leiden, the look of those people's numb eyes, where did you see the unruly people. Chateau immediately realized that there were still some differences between himself and Leiden.
But he didn't want to convert these slaves into leaders right away. What he meant was to ask about the background of these slaves and whether there were any hidden dangers.
Knowing the true meaning of Xia Duo's words, Leiden was also unambiguous, and immediately said what he had inquired on the boat.
These slaves were originally ordinary civilians in the north. They were expropriated by the lord for mining. Later, they tried their best to escape and were caught back. Then they became slaves, and they were the lowest level slaves, and they were brutally destroyed in the mine.
There were originally two villages, but now there are only more than 20 left. Somehow they were bought by the Slavin Chamber of Commerce and sent to Chateau.
