The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 8 Jade Collar

Leaving several sailors guarding the ship, Bartow led Bob and some sailors off the ship.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we're here, your good days are coming." Bob shouted.

Colin and Nora lined up with the slaves and walked towards the island. They saw that besides the ship he came on, there was also a larger merchant ship beside the pier. The sailors on the ship were carrying What cargo. Further away, there seem to be some small boats fishing?

On the left and right sides are towering wooden lookout towers, with soldiers standing inside. To the east of the pier is a row of wooden houses, with people carrying some cargo.

A group of spearmen patrolling back and forth were wearing leather vests, and the leader was wearing an iron half-armor. They all looked quite mighty and strong.

At this time, a group of people came from a distance, led by an elder, wearing a wide-brimmed peaked hat and a gray robe, walking towards them with elegant steps.

"Lord Gandalf, I've figured it out. It won't be easy along the way." Before Gandalf could say anything, Baator shouted.

"Okay, Baator, you didn't arrive as scheduled. I guess something happened to you. Tell me." Gandalf asked.

As Bato walked toward the island, he narrated: "Damn it, Jack, he blocked me in the Strait of Holz a few days ago and suffered a lot of damage."

"Do you think the price for these slaves can be increased appropriately?" Bator asked, rubbing his hands.

"Bato, it was agreed at the beginning that it would be inappropriate to increase the price at will." Gandalf replied.

"If it weren't for the development of the Emerald Island, would I, a dignified intermediate magic apprentice, bargain with you, a slave trader?" Gandalf thought.

"Lord Gandalf, my ship was also damaged. It took a long time to repair it, but it can barely move. It needs major repairs when we return to Auckland Port. Please add more."

Gandalf thought for a while and agreed. After all, the island was short of manpower. Although many welfare laws had been issued, it had not been able to attract many free people. The original knight territory had been assigned to others, and the farmers in the territory had not been able to attract many. No matter how many people are willing to come, buying slaves through Bator is not a one-time deal. You have to count on this guy. You can calculate the loss later.

"Lord Gandalf, you are so generous. The stars in the sky are not as generous as your care." Baator praised happily.

Gandalf held his forehead. He had a headache. It was too exaggerated. It was really embarrassing.

"Okay, according to the original price, increase it by 8%. Later you will arrange for someone to get the payment from me."

"Okay, okay." Bato replied.

"Baatar, you have to make a few more trips. As you can see, our island is not small and we need a lot of people. We will ask for as many as you bring," Gandalf said.

Ba Tuo rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, now that the deal is here, I can still make a lot of money."

"Don't worry, Lord Gandalf. A few days ago, I heard that the duchy and the duchy of Burgundy won several battles and captured several counties. There is no shortage of slaves."

"That's good, Bator, let's come to the castle's dinner party tonight. The Baron also wants to meet you." Gandalf invited.

"It is my honor to praise His Excellency Baron Richard August." Bartow replied humbly.

"Knight Gary, please hand over to Baator and settle the slaves. Remember to clean them several times so that they don't bring any diseases to the island." Gandalf ordered.

"Yes." Gary nodded.

"Bato, I have a meeting here. I'm leaving now. See you at the dinner." After saying that, Gandalf left without waiting for Bato's reply.

Ba Tuo thought to himself: "...Didn't I ask for a few more points? Am I so unpopular?"

"This way, Bator." Gary guided Bator toward the island.

After arriving on the island, Colin and Nora separated. After all, there are differences between men and women. The island is not an island country, and they are not allowed to bathe together.

It took a long time to wash with the other male slaves. Although the water was relatively cold, it felt much better than never having the chance to wash on the ship. After all, if I didn't take a shower for more than 20 days, my body would have become rotten.

Colin looked around. Although he was not yet 15 years old, he felt that his body was well developed. At least none of the male slaves around him was more majestic than himself. Colin was still very satisfied with this body.

After cleaning the body, they quickly arranged a place to stay, a big house with water, about 20 strong men, and about 30 old, weak, sick and disabled. These are the remaining male slaves.

"I guess there are about 200 female slaves there. I wonder if Nora is used to it?" Colin was lying on the Chase bunk and thinking.

Not long after, I heard the sound of soldiers coming over and calling for dinner.

When they arrived at the dining area, they saw rows of long wooden tables and long stools on both sides. Colin followed the crowd and walked forward.

"It feels like I'm back in the university cafeteria..." Colin thought as he walked.

Dinner was brown bread, thick soup mixed with wheat bran and minced fish, and a piece of dried salted fish.

"Well, it's better than on the boat." Colin thought as he ate.

"Brother Colin." Nora sat over.

"Well, Nora, are you okay?" Colin looked at Nora and asked.

"It's okay. The aunts are all good, but I'm not familiar with them yet. I also met a friend named Penny." Nora replied.

"Now that you have new friends, let's get along well with them. We don't know anyone when we first arrive, so it would be good to get to know more friends." Colin ordered.

"I know, brother." Nora replied softly.

Seeing Nora's cute look, Colin sincerely liked it, "It's great to have such a girl."

"Is it almost time, Bob?" Bartow asked.

"Yes, sir."

"Do you think my clothes are decent?" Ba Tuo continued to ask.

"It doesn't get much better than this, sir," Bob replied.

Bato pointed at Bob and said: "Hey, you kid...when you are ready, just follow me into the castle."

"Lilibet, how are the preparations for the dinner going?" Richard August looked at his beloved wife Elizabeth Cavendi August and asked gently.

"Darling, the preparations are almost complete. The food is still very rich. I believe that Bato will be quite satisfied after floating on the sea for almost a month. It's just that there is not too much wine. I will need to buy some more if I have the opportunity." Lilibei He replied very kindly. (In order to avoid complaints about the word count, Elizabeth Cavendi August uses the nickname Lilibet in informal situations)

"Okay, let's go down, it's not a good habit to make guests wait." After that, Richard took Lilibet's hand and walked towards the restaurant together.
