Chapter 269

There is an ancient arena in Wanjing City, which was left by the Pulan Empire and is still in use today.

"name?"

"Charles Smith."

"gender?"

"Look at it."

"Then take off your pants."

"male!"

……

The person who registered Frederick was an instructor in the martial arts field. He was usually responsible for teaching the warriors. Some of these warriors made money in the martial arts field, and some learned martial arts to find a job.

Today, the instructor has a dark circle under his left eye, which was caused by the beating when Frederick was tested to see if he was eligible to sign up.

"This sign is for you." The instructor threw a bronze medal to Frederick, with the number "250" on it.

"You are capable, kid." The instructor said to him, "As for what you did just now, it's not a problem to get into the 32nd place. If someone asks you to play a match-fixing match before that, you have to see if they give you enough money."

The samurai competition here is held every two years. Some people are for bonuses, while others are for rankings. The salary can be higher when they are employed.

1 gold coins for the first place in this year's competition, 200 for the second place, 2 for the top 150, 4 for the top 100, 8 for the top 80, 16 for the top 60, 32 for the top 30, and then there will be no gold coins, 64 for nothing An entry fee of one silver coin.

Some people are looking for money. If he has the strength of the top 32 but not enough for the top 16, it is not a problem to give him 50 gold coins to play fake matches.

Frederick thanked him for reminding him with a black line, and he had no idea of ​​playing fake games in his heart. After all, after passing this village, there is no such store to make money.

He couldn't go to the Kingdom of Kush and tell Mrs. Sophie, your daughter Susan is in my hands, please give me some money to spend.

"Madame Sophie" was called by Frederick, a pagan outsider. In the Kingdom of Kush, others called her the Queen Mother. If she behaved so recklessly, she would be tied with stones and thrown into the river.

When Frederick left the arena, he saw Olive waiting for him outside the gate, so he went over and asked, "Have you found the house yet?"

Olive nodded and replied, "I've already found it, it's a little far from here, and I can live in it now."

It doesn't matter if it's far or not, as long as there is a place to stay for a while.

He saw a few people who signed up just now, all of them possess unique skills, and all of them hide their strength, so they should be able to play to their heart's content this time.

Olive took him to the house, passing a slave market on the way.

Due to cultural, religious and other reasons, there are not many slaves in the north, and the sources are basically prisoners of war and people who cannot pay their debts. There are very few scenes of such a large-scale slave trade.

Frederick decided to take a look here, and found that men, women and children were sold here, most of them were prisoners of war, and there were also some bankrupt businessmen and family members. These people had the same eyes as salted fish.

He walked to the largest stall in the middle of the market. There was a shelf hanging from a wooden cage. The cage contained a girl who was only symbolically wrapped in tulle. She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with dark golden hair. dry.

The boss here saw that Frederick was handsome and imposing, mainly foreigners, so he came to receive him in person.

"What do you want to buy?" The boss looked very kind. "We have everything here. Not long ago, even the Wesson Chamber of Commerce bought some that can be written and calculated."

After hearing this, Frederick was noncommittal. Since Lilu did what he did, he would unconditionally support it. She knew more about business than he did.

He chatted with the boss, pointed to the girl in the wooden cage and asked, "Who is she?"

The boss saw Frederick's purpose early in the morning, and immediately replied: "She is Therma, the only daughter of that scum of the Guards, Alda. Because her father's reputation is too bad, no one wants to buy her."

Frederick felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw the girl's eyes full of anger, wishing to burn the boss to ashes.

The boss continued to say angrily: "If it weren't for that scum of Arda who was greedy for life and afraid of death, how could our tens of thousands of elite and invincible Janissaries be wiped out!"

"Shut up!" Frederick shouted angrily, startling the boss.

Then he asked blankly, "How much?"

The boss didn't know why he was angry, but the business still needed to be done, so he stretched out his right hand and spread all his fingers: "If you really want to buy it, I'll charge you 600 gold coins."

Frederick counted twice, and this guy actually had six fingers on his right hand.

He didn't have that many gold coins on him, but the gemstones used as a reserve fund were enough, and they were appraised just now when exchanging money at the bank opened by the Abelardo family.

"Are these enough?" Frederick took out a few big shiny gems, worth a little more than 600 gold coins.

"Enough is enough!" The boss ordered the gemstones, and immediately asked someone to put down the wooden cage, and asked someone to bring a slave contract and a white robe.

It was a product display just now, but now it is sold out, so it has to be packaged.

Therma was a little weak from the sun, and Frederick asked Olive to support her.

Before leaving, Frederick said to the boss very solemnly: "General Arda is an excellent general, who almost put Duke Wessen's army in a dilemma. He finally refused to surrender, shouted long live the emperor, and then faced Bu The city of Russa killed himself."

Then he took out his ID card and showed the golden double-headed eagle emblem on the red background to the boss, and said, "I am Duke Wesson's clerk, and I was there at the time."

After Frederick finished speaking, he took Olive and Therma and left the slave market, leaving the boss and a few spectators standing on the spot blankly.

The three of them walked for about ten minutes to the house that Olive found. The landlord waited here for a long time. Frederick and the landlord negotiated the rent and paid a one-month deposit, and then lived here.

This house covers an area of ​​more than 30 square meters. The first floor is a hall and dining room, and there is a kitchen.The second floor is the bedroom, toilet, bathroom, and even a single bathtub.The third floor is a terrace. In addition to the awning, there is also a water tank. There is a hand pump that can pump up the water in the water downstairs and then go downstairs through the water pipe.There is a small garden in front of the building, which can accommodate a carriage.

There were only simple furniture and kitchen utensils in the house. Frederick gave her olive money to buy food, bedding and some daily necessities, and some cloth and rope to surround the terrace, where he needed to exercise.

Frederick was quite satisfied with the house. The key point was that the diagonally opposite door was a steam bakery, and there was a radio antenna on the roof. Needless to say, it must be the stronghold of the Steam Bun Bureau.

When he came back from a stroll, he saw Therma sitting on a chair by the dining table on the first floor.

Seeing him, Therma asked cautiously: "Master...Master, is what you just said true?"

Frederick sat down beside her, nodded, and said, "It's absolutely true, this matter is no secret in the Wessen Army."

They interrogated the captives after the battle, and learned of the tactics Arda proposed to Phocas shortly before the flooding of the army.

The staff deduced that if Phokas and the others really guarded several hills at that time, the Wesson army would have to dispatch the Kirov airship to attack them if they wanted to wipe them out.

Coupled with Arda's on-the-spot tactical adjustments before, Frederick really started to recruit, but in the end he would rather die than surrender.

What the slave boss said just now reminded Frederick of his father, who was also dumped with sewage, so he became angry all of a sudden.

At this moment, Therma howled in Frederick's arms. She never believed that her father was a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death. sky.

Now that someone can prove that her father is not a coward and a scum, the sadness in her heart suddenly vents.
