The super lord of the island

Chapter 53 053. Meeting Ome Again (Part [-])

Living room on the second floor of the castle
Jialan sat in the main seat, Fei Li, Feynman, and Tinis sat in the guest seats. There was a piece of freshly cut fruit on the table, and the maid Irina stood quietly at the edge of the hall, waiting for orders.

For a long time, no one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

Jialan rubbed his brows. Just now he finally recalled the memory fragments of his previous life in the family. The cargo ship where his parents were in was lost in a violent storm. Then develop an inferiority complex.

Later, I met Tinisi by chance during a certain family event. Tinisi did not look down on Jialan because of his life experience. Instead, she often enlightened him, and the two became very good friends.

As for whether the two have a definite relationship as a couple, Jia Lan seems to have not found relevant fragments in his memory.

"Is it just a good friend? But I can feel your admiration, but because of self-knowledge, I buried this emotion deeply. After all, I am not reconciled."

When I first landed in the cabin, the one who remembered the most when I was dying was the girl named Tinis in front of me.

Feeling the deep obsession left by her predecessor, Jialan couldn't do it casually, so she decided to take one step at a time. As for the deal with Philip, she can only wait for it later.

"Cough cough~"

Jialan cleared her throat on purpose to draw everyone's attention.

"No matter what the reason is, I am very happy that you can come to see me on the Isle of Light, Tinise, I know you are worried about that matter, I can tell you the truth, as to whether you believe it or not is up to you thing."

"That day I made an appointment with you to go to the family library to read books. In order to make a good impression in front of you, I even wore new clothes..."

In the room, a deep voice spoke, and Jialan recounted the day's events in detail.

"I haven't seen you in the library for a long time, so I'm going to go to your room to have a look, and I happened to break through the scene where you were stunned by Rommel!"

When it was said that the real framer was Rommel, the patriarch's second son, the two showed surprised expressions.

"Then why were you the one who was exiled later..." Feynman asked.

"Oh! I thought that the elders of the clan would try the case impartially, but I didn't expect that Rommel had already secretly bought people's hearts, colluded with the elders and planted the crime on me."

When going to the island without light by boat, Rommel also sent people to follow him on the boat and poisoned his predecessor with poison.

But Jialan didn't reveal too much, let's stop at that, anyway, he is now a hereditary baron lord, and his starting point is much higher than that of ordinary young people of the same clan.

"It turned out to be Rommel. He pursued me and was rejected by me many times before. He did have the motive to do so."

Hearing this, Tinisi believed most of it, and the eyes that looked at Jialan gradually became different.

"By the way, Jialan, I remember that you don't have extraordinary talent, why do I feel the breath of magic power from you?"

"It may be that the detection methods in the family are backward. Some time ago, I accidentally met an elder on the island. He accepted me as an apprentice and taught me to practice magic power."

Jia Lan used Auguste as a shield, and soon everyone was fooled by his rhetoric.

After chatting for a long time, the sky outside the window gradually dimmed, and the serfs who had worked all day came back to the village one after another. There was a little bustling noise, and there was little smoke rising from the roof of the stone house beside it. It was Mai Duo who was preparing food.

"You guys stay in the castle to rest today, Elena, prepare two guest rooms on the second floor for the guests."

"Good sir." Elena replied crisply.

"I'll have someone prepare dinner, and it will take some time. If you want to go out for a walk, you can do it. It's safe inside the fence." Jialan smiled.

Knowing the truth, Feimanman's remaining curiosity shifted to Aurora Village, and he took his friend to thank him and left.

"Okay, Captain Fili, it's our turn to make a deal."

After the idlers in the hall leave, the most important transaction will begin.

Since Jialan gained a firm foothold in the territory, there has been a labor shortage.

So this time, Philip specially prepared one-on-one resource docking for Jialan, and the most important cargo in the cabin was slaves.

The slave trade is a commercial activity permitted by the laws of the nations of the human race, but considering the source of slaves and other issues, most of them are carried out secretly and low-key.

Philip lowered his voice, and slowly stretched out three fingers: "In order to satisfy you, I did not hesitate to go to the border of the Alliance to buy slaves, including those homeless refugees, and transported them back to the Amethyst Islands after untold hardships. The price is [-]% higher than last time."

Up [-]%?
Jialan remembered clearly that last time the price was 5 gold shells for male slaves and 3 gold shells for female slaves. It is not a small amount to be [-]% higher all of a sudden.

"I am a benevolent lord, but I am not being taken advantage of. Thirty percent is too high. A slave is not worth that much!"

"Oh~ they are all high-quality goods I have carefully selected, craftsmen with professional skills! They are not the kind of idle hooligans!"

Fili argued.

"I understand, I understand! But you have to know that my territory does not need too high-end slaves at the moment. I am satisfied if I can lift a hoe. Of course, I will not let your efforts be in vain. I am willing to pay more for each slave. The price of half a gold shell, this is my biggest concession."

"No, no...too little." Fili shook his head again and again, "The Red Coral family not far away pays this amount to buy slaves, plus some more..."

"..."

After some bargaining, Jialan finally accepted all the slaves at the price of 6 gold shells for male slaves and 3 and a half gold shells for female slaves, and free gifts for children under the age of 12.

There were 105 slaves on Philip's ship, including 58 male slaves, 41 female slaves, and 6 children. The calculation required 491.5 gold shells. After his efforts, a fraction of 1.5 gold shells was wiped out.

In addition to slaves, there are basic materials with relatively stable prices, such as wheat flour, spices, salt, cloth, forged metal farm tools and so on.

Refined wheat flour is 45 copper shells per kilogram, 1 copper shell cheaper than last time; whole wheat flour is 30 copper shells per kilogram, the same as last time.

Last time I bought a total of seven tons of wheat flour, and I have eaten nearly three tons of it so far. If in other territories, the slave's ration consumption would only be half of this amount.

For the sake of the physical and mental health of the slaves, Jialan worked hard for several years to feed them well.

Thinking that the village would soon have a hundred more mouths to eat, Jialan gritted his teeth and bought ten tons of whole wheat flour and two tons of refined wheat flour in one go.

As the saying goes, if you have surplus food, you don’t panic. Jialan would rather save more than wait for the cargo ship to come to the rescue when there is a shortage of food.
