The Defeated Dragon

Four hundred and seventy-six serfs, roughly two thirds of whom are women, also have many babies and children, and many older people, with very few young men - in the serf-trade market, older men are regarded as an excellent workforce at a much higher price than older women with small children.

In the eyes of another lord, the serfs were of very poor quality.

In addition to the value of artisans, women and children are burdensome, artisans are elderly and extremely inexpensive.

But Lester didn't complain - women could marry the Territorial Sticks to offset the imbalance between men and women in Flower Town; children and babies were raised, the future knights' choice; and old craftsmen had the skill to cultivate a large number of apprentices.

Absolutely.

Grown-up men are equally important to flower towns, and both farming and road repair docks require an adult workforce.

So on the face of it, Lester still complains: "Mr. Frank, the quality of these serfs is not very good. Women are what I need to name. It's okay to do more, but there are too many children and craftsmen are elderly. Is this a bit foolish for me? ”

“Oh, Baron Lester, I dare not fool the Tulip bloodline.” Frank laughed, "The serfs are fleets from all the serf-markets. The adult workforce has long been bought out. You know, without war, there are no good serf-markets. ”

“So, now that the fleet is sailing again, we should be able to buy good serfs, right? The Iron Ridge kingdom has fought the Eagle kingdom, and their father has gone to war. ”

Frank's eyes moved: “You have to continue the slave trade… oh yes, the seafood market brings you a lot of gold coins. ”

“The proceeds of the seafood market are clear to Mr. Frank, aren't they?” Lester didn't cry, after all, they kept collecting dividends for Reeves, "I will collect a gold coin as soon as possible, hoping the fleet will bring me another serf. ”

“There should be no problem, tulip fleet out to sea, always to do business, now that the war has begun, the serfdom business is better. So, how many serfs are you going to buy? ”

“1,000, including 200 craftsmen. ”

“A thousand serfs, at the price, need 240 gold coins. ”

“The serfdom business used to be difficult and a little more expensive. I can accept that, during the war, serfdom was still so expensive. I can't accept that, Mr. Frank. ”

“Whether it's war or not, the serfdom business is always full of risks…”

a haggle over price.

The price of two hundred and ten gold coins was finally fixed.

After spending this time saving money and moving the merchant team's gold coins, give it to Frank, Lester's face doesn't smile so mild - it's going to be another poor day, the wallet feels dry, it's painful, especially after getting used to spending big foot money.

……

Frank refused an invitation to lunch under the pretext that "little Sherry would love to see you”, which was eaten at Mrs. Penelope's castle.

Mrs. Marie from Tulip Chambers also sent a servant to invite him, but he did not go and was unfamiliar with Mrs. Marie. Livella stayed here, too, at the table, and asked Lister vigorously: "Your muddy dog is so big, cut me off, how many gold coins you ask for! ”

Are you kidding me internationally.

Though Jitson did not release the magic, and no one else knew what it was capable of, he also knew how extraordinary it was to look at the shape.

This cannot be measured in gold coins!

Lester responded coldly: "Dear sister, the first person Shakespeare saw with open eyes was me, no one but me. Even if you use dragon coins, you can't redeem it for approval. Give up this stupid idea. ”

Listening to the word "foolish”, Li Weira looked gloomy: “You are getting arrogant now, you dare not even listen to your sister. ”

Lister's left hand knife, right hand fork, cut the steak neatly in his spare time: “I'm just telling you the truth, please be reasonable. ”

Mrs. Penelope seemed to appreciate Lester's current hegemonic transformation and rarely helped him to say: "Levera, please eat like a lady and don't always think about stealing from Lester. You want, you can totally pick the right husband from so many good aristocrats to satisfy everything you have. ”

“Grandma, you don't love me at all now. ”

“You've all grown up, my little girl, and the boys, my grandmother is getting old and confused. I just want you three brothers and sisters to get along and take care of Lipton as a child, so that the Tulip family can flourish. ”

Lunch is not very harmonious.

After the meal, Livella pulled out her sword in anger and stopped it in front of Lester: "Fight me like a warrior, and I'll prove that you're still that coward Lester! ”

No response from Liszt.

Lazily lying down, Jitson broke free of Tom's involvement and rushed toward Levera. Momentum is like a downhill tiger, roaring low and windy.

At that moment, Levera's face was sweating in cold sweat.

She felt herself overshadowed by a strong killer.

It was a killing machine that you would experience if you faced an irresistible force, fearful for your life —— just like when she was seven years old, whipping a horse with a whip, and then the horse rushed towards it, opening her mouth to bite her —— except that she was now a knight of the earth, just as irresistible.

“Come back, Shakespeare! ”

Lester whispered the command, shaking Sen hard, braking hard, no more forward shooting. But Kryptonite golden dog eyes still flashed a fierce light, staring fiercely at Li Weila, it felt like it would go up at any moment, choosing someone to eat.

“It is the beast of Thorn Ridge, and although I am the Lord, ferocity is not so easy to remove. I'm sorry to scare you. I have business. I have an appointment, dear sister. ”

Finished, a faint smile.

Take Shakespeare and leave the castle.

Li Weila looked iron blue, stupidly standing still, did not continue to be strong in speech, the moment Shaking Sen jumped out, she was really scared - after all, it was just a flower in the greenhouse.

On the balcony of the castle, Mrs. Penelope watered herself with a kettle and, without a doubt, looked clearly at what had happened at the entrance to the castle.

She just muttered: "That's right, girls have to look like girls, boys have to look like boys. Melissa and Marie are not lacking in the ability to have children. ”

……

Lister didn't ignore Levera.

He did ask someone out, or he needed someone.

He went straight to a town near Coral City and looked at the town as it had collapsed. He frowned slightly: "Rom, is this it? ”

“My lord, this is it, Moss Town, I've been to this town.” Rom Barrel replied.

“Whose enclosure is this town? ”

“Once a baron's enclosure, it went bankrupt and was taken back by the Count and never separated. ”

“It is indeed here, and I have found what Gaultai said, a white spike-top two-story building.” Lister waves, "let's go and meet the magician. ”
