Ocean Temple.
Not long after Sauron left, the figure of the noble woman also appeared. She raised her head and glanced at the naga priest with an ugly face, and said, "Is that him?"
Priest Naga's face was still a bit ugly, because she found that Sauron was like a slippery loach, no matter how she tried to recruit her, she seemed to be a little bit less interested, and sometimes she even felt like hitting him with a fist. In the air, on the contrary, the shock made my internal organs feel uncomfortable. She glanced lightly at the charming noble woman in front of her, and slowly said: "Not necessarily. This human being is too cunning. Unless he gets close to us completely, you are just a bait in front of him."
"We have spent too many resources on you. Without our help, your father's territory would have been annexed by others."
"besides."
"Pay attention to your virginity. I found that this seems to be very attractive to human males. You can't get too close to any male creature before you decide to win over someone who is really valuable to us. Your current task We still continue to expand our influence, and provoke wars among nobles on the south coast when necessary! Only war can break the inherent power blockade, let us infiltrate our influence into the human race!"
The aristocratic woman's face was a little stiff, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes, but she still nodded submissively and said, "Yes."
No matter it is any woman, if she is placed around like a bargaining chip, there will definitely be a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart. But it seems that her awe of the Ocean God Temple is obvious, and the Ocean God Temple should control a lot of things about her, so she had to bow her head submissively under such obviously humiliating words. No one knows what agreement Sauron and the Naga priest finally reached, but judging from the current expression of the Naga priest, she doesn't seem to have much upper hand.
This can't help but make her look up to Sauron, and it takes confidence and strength to play tricks with the Ocean Temple.
…
Sauron left the Ocean Temple.
His face was not very good-looking, and his expression was ashen from the moment he left the temple. He turned around and came near the port, then waved a pirate over, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Adele to come and see me."
soon.
A red-haired female pirate in tight leather armor appeared in front of Sauron. She carefully glanced at Sauron's expression, and then said, "Your Excellency? What are your orders?"
Sauron glanced at her and said with a blank expression: "From today onwards, 50% of the income from the Port of Taylor route will be handed over to the Ocean Temple. You will personally control the smuggling trade along the shipwreck bay. From now on, regardless of the official or private slave trade, as long as it passes through the sea, we must control it. Anyone who wants to make money from the slave trade must obtain our consent !"
slave trade.
This is a big trade on the south coast, because there are many mines on the land near this coast, which require a lot of labor to mine. It is basically impossible to hire civilians. Everyone knows that the mine is the most impossible place to go, so the labor force can only find a way from criminals and slaves. Coupled with the fact that the nobles in this area have a large number of manor economic systems, slaves are the cheapest labor from any point of view.
Slaves This is a common problem.
Even the gods cannot change the status quo, and even slavery is supported and affirmed by many gods.
Even in the memory of Sauron's previous life, the abolition of slavery has been delayed into modern history, and it has been deeply rooted in this world for countless years, almost reaching the point where it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The vast majority of ordinary people would desire to own a piece of manor land, and then buy and own some slaves. From then on, the slaves will be responsible for farming and work, and they will live a leisurely life without worrying about food and clothing. If there were not many kind people, and some churches hated slavery, I am afraid that it would become very rampant in the southern region.
"Yes, sir."
Adele, with fiery red hair, nodded and replied, "I'll arrange staff now."
Sauron glanced at her silently, and then said: "Do you know a woman named Monica? She also has the same surname as Isabella like you, and is also the only daughter of an earl."
The red-haired female pirate was puzzled for a moment, then thought for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Isabella's surname is distributed in the south and west. She may be related to my mother, but because of my origin, I am very close to these people." Strange. My mother seems to have a cousin on the south coast, who seems to have the title of earl, but his family has long since declined. If she is the only daughter of the earl, it should be the cousin of the mother. That's all for Sabella."
Fallen nobility
It is indeed a good investment object, and it is also very easy to control.
Sauron nodded lightly and said: "Go. Your focus is on the slave trade, and you must ensure that this line is in our hands."
Adele nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Excellency...you value the slave trade so much, are you planning to use slaves to open up overseas?...I am not questioning your decision, but just guessing out of curiosity!..."
At the end, there was a look of awe on her face.
Sauron's expression was slightly surprised, but he had no intention of answering, but said in a deep voice: "Do your own thing well. You will know when the time comes."
Slaves are the cheapest form of labor and the easiest group of people to satisfy.
They have been driven to a place of despair by life, as long as they are given a little hope, a little right to live, a little desire for freedom, they will become a very useful card. What Sauron needs is not only their labor force, but also their foundation. Overseas population transfer is very difficult. The mainland has not been completely chaotic yet, and it is too risky to attract pioneers and adventurers. A crucial part of Lun's plan.
Sauron walked towards where he lived.
Adele-Isabella stayed where she was, staring at the direction Sauron left with ecstasy. The longer she got to know the more she knew, the more she felt that this Lord had a big plan, because he gave up so easily. A large part of the interests of the pirates. People who can give up so many benefits must be for something more valuable.
What exactly does this man want
She was actually a little excited, and had an idea that she couldn't wait to learn about his plan.
It's a pity that she can only hide deeply in her mind.
…
Sauron returned to his residence.
As soon as he walked into the room, he saw a petite figure pounced on him, and then hung directly on his body. Vivian hugged his neck and twisted back and forth, and said crisply: "Brother is finally back! I am alone bored to death!… "
Sauron smiled and picked her up, and put her on the side of the bed.
Then he sat down and said with a serious expression, "Vivienne? How are you doing? Is there anything uncomfortable? Why did you call yourself the Scared Witch Lilian last time?"
The little girl obviously froze for a moment, then her eyes flickered, and then she whispered: "I... it's okay!... But I remember a lot of things!... Among them is the knowledge of Lilian!... Then I learned Many spells have also become more powerful than before!... "
"Hmm!... Will my brother dislike Vivienne because of this?..."
Speaking of this, the little girl's expression suddenly became pitiful.
Sauron looked a little distressed, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and then said: "Silly girl!... I will always be by your side!..."
Is that really the case
Sauron's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed secretly: "If Sauron died like this without my arrival, Vivian would become Lilian?"
"I hope there will be no hidden dangers for her!"
"no!"
"I have to find a way to kill the other Terror God Sons, and then completely erase the Terror Demon God's consciousness! Otherwise, as long as his consciousness still exists, this is an invisible hidden danger, and his consciousness may be affected when he fights against the Terror Demon God. Wei Wei'an is more able to resist the consciousness of the demon god of fear."
Sauron seemed to be thinking about something.
The little girl's expression was a little unnatural, but she still sat beside her obediently.
Come here for a while.
Sauron seemed to remember something, and said in a deep voice, "Vivian! My brother has a way to check your body for you. It may feel a little uncomfortable. Would you like to try it?"
The little girl was a little confused, but she nodded obediently.
Sauron showed a smile.
Immediately afterwards, a gleam appeared in his eyes, which seemed to make Vivienne feel a little uncomfortable, as if his whole body was exposed to his brother's sight, with a slightly repulsive and shy look.
A row of data emerges:
"Do you want to scan the data of the target?!..."
"Notice!"
"The target is very powerful and dangerous!... There may be hostility!... Data scan needs to spend 16,000 killing experience points!..."
"Do you want to scan?!..."
Actually need to consume so much killing experience
Although Sauron felt a little pain in his heart, after looking at the nearly 70,000 killing experience he had accumulated, he still silently chose to confirm. He needs to know to what extent Vivienne has been strengthened, and also needs to know whether Vivienne has been affected by the will of the Dread Demon God. Killing experience can be earned again in the future, and Vivian's safety is more important in Sauron's eyes.
