Start with the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 296: Slave auction!

The night is deep.

On the calm sea of ​​pitch black ink.

A large mast ship with faint lights was driving quietly on the vast black water bay.

"Wow..."

Outside the window, the waves slapped against the ship's side, making a rhythmic sound.

Morgan was lying on the bed by the window.

Listening to the sound of waves coming from outside the window.

The initially impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

Looking at the slightly narrow solid wood ceiling above his head.

Morgan is quietly reviewing the journey of coming to Westeros for more than half a year.

More than half a year ago, with the few memories in my mind.

Morgan, who descended to the northern region, found Winterfell and joined the Stark family to guard the northern region.

In the winter city for nearly a month.

He successfully won the trust of Ed Stark and his wife, Duke of Winterfell, and obtained the qualification to go to King's Landing.

Then, it took more than three months for Ed Stark's convoy to follow the King and Queen to go south to Junlin City.

It's funny, these three months are actually longer than the time he spent in Winter City and the previous Junlin City combined.

But no way.

This is the case in this era.

Whether it was in the last Middle-earth world, or the world under my feet.

The long journey is so time-consuming.

For example, at the moment, Morgan's next goal is to go: "Astapo" in the Slave Bay of "Essos Continent" across the sea from Westeros.

Morgan's arrival in "Astapo" is probably the longest journey he has ever experienced, including the journey in the last Middle-earth. It will be long, far, and time-consuming.

But it has been a long time since I came to another world.

Morgan was used to it.

The time spent on the journey always seems to be longer.

Just like he spent three months from Winter City to Junlin City.

This time also only spent more than a month in Junlin City.

But this one takes more time.

It was the most exciting month for Morgan to come to this world.

The most exciting reason is naturally because of the competition, he won the unprecedented "triple crown" in the competition.

This allowed him to truly experience what it was like to be an idol.

Of course, the thrill of falling asleep to the current queen of the Seven Kingdoms can also be counted.

It's a pity, if it wasn't for the fear of Daenerys Targaryen's entry into Astabo's "Unsullied" army first, and the persecution of Queen Cersei Lannister.

Morgan intends to live in Junlin City for a long time.

After all, in the recent days in Junlin City, it was the most arbitrary period of time that he had come to another world.

"Wow..."

The spray continued to beat the ship's side.

Morgan, who reviewed his experience during this period of time, sighed slightly.

He quickly converged his mind.

He can distinguish between business and enjoyment.

Thinking of this, my heart moved slightly.

"Swipe..."

A series of pale white virtual data began to jump and flicker in front of the eyes.

[Time Traveler: Morgan]

[Race: Human]

【Biological level: Tier 2】

【Soul Power: 1】

[Attribute: Strength LV7; Constitution LV8; Agility LV6; Spirit LV6]

【Abilities: Common Language; Muay Thai LV2; White Crow Swordsmanship (Proficient) LV4; Archery (Proficient) LV4; Rock Body (Special Technique); Dragon Power (Special Technique); Charge (Special Technique); Spiritual Impact (Special) Skill); Hawkeye (Special Skill); Quick Flash (Special Skill); Any Door (Special Skill)]

[Talent: Intimacy (Special Skill)]

[Current progress of world exploration: 0.93%]

【......】

The pale white virtual data flickers continuously.

Morgan looked calm in his eyes.

Since coming to this world.

The interval between his summoning the Time Traveler system is far less frequent than in Middle-earth.

Because there is no killing, it is difficult to obtain soul power.

With his current strength, unless he can kill individual creatures of the same level or even more powerful, or hunt large-scale weak creatures, purely by the number of people, it will be more difficult to obtain spirit power.

Under the feet of the world.

Morgan thought about it carefully, and the individual strength could be stronger than him, perhaps only the future giant dragons in Daenerys Targaryen's hands.

If he kills those dragons, he should be able to gain some spirit power.

As for the other method, the only way is to participate in the war.

Only with his current strength, with the general strength of the soldiers and mercenaries in this world.

Morgan estimated that if he personally went on the court to kill three or four hundred people, he should be able to gain a little bit of spirit power.

Only three or four hundred heads can be exchanged for a little soul power.

Such a ratio makes Morgan a little weak.

This is also the reason why he doesn't expect to obtain spirit power in this world.

"Swipe..."

【Biological level: Tier 2】

【Soul Power: 1】

【Attributes:......】

The virtual data kept jumping, and the spirit power bar quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

Looking at the unchanging spirit power column.

Morgan's expression was calm. In the past few days, apart from killing Gregor Clegane, the "Magic Mountain" whose strength was equal to that of ordinary trolls, he had no other spirit power.

It's not surprising that the spirit power bar remains unchanged.

Keep watching.

It didn't take long.

When you see the progress behind the world exploration progress bar.

Morgan's eyes finally fluctuated.

【0.93%...】

Compared to his last time before the tournament, the exploration progress has increased by 0.18%.

Compared with before, the increase of 0.18% in just four or five days is actually not that small.

But if you consider that Morgan won the unprecedented "Triple Crown" in the tournament, and the dragon egg he snatched from the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce, etc., killing the "Magic Mountain" on the street... and a few things.

Just a little bit less...

At least less than he expected.

But although Morgan did not complain about the system stinginess of Grandet.

But he still believes in the calculation method of the system.

After all, the system is Party A and Dad.

He estimated that there are errors and mistakes in the guessing, which can only be caused by his insufficient understanding of the system.

Can't blame Dad.

"0.93%..."

"I don't know when I can get 1%..."

"Astapo arriving in Slave Bay, I should be able to achieve it after buying the Unsullied One..."

"Or, if you can hatch the dragon egg on your body, it should be fine..."

"If one percent of the achievement is achieved, what reward will it be this time...Is it a physical treasure like the Dimensional Ring, or a powerful special skill like "Any Door", or other rewards?"

"..."

Looking at the data column before him, Morgan secretly guessed again.

"Wow..."

The sound of waves outside the window continued.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The journey to Astapo in Slave Bay was very long.

Morgan is ready for a long journey.

In the next time.

In addition to eating and drinking Lazarus, Morgan watched the sea every day on this large mast ship.

Standing on the side of the ship, looking at the window while lying on the bed, and sometimes even climbing on a tall mast in the dead of night.

The long journey is very boring and boring.

Morgan can stand loneliness.

But it does not mean that everyone on board can withstand loneliness.

Less than a week.

An average-looking but plump lady came to Morgan and found her.

It's just that Morgan, whose appetite has long been tempted, can't see such a woman.

Even the ugly woman on the boat is coveted by other bad men.

Morgan unceremoniously rejected the lady.

The lady was very angry when she was rejected.

But the several attendants who followed the lady did not dare to say anything in Morgan's manner.

The first boat ride in this world, except for this episode.

Morgan failed to encounter other interesting things such as pirates.

In this way, a month passed quietly.

Morgan also arrived at his first stop on Aposta in Slave Bay: Pantos.

Pantos: One of the nine major trading city-states, located in the western part of the Essos mainland, on the edge of the narrow sea, facing the Seven Kingdoms, and is the closest free-trade city-state to King's Landing.

Because Aposta, which traveled by sea to Slave Bay, was too far away.

The fastest route to Aposta is to take the city-state of Pantos, the city-state of Novos, and then along the edge of the vast grassland of the Dothraki Sea to Slave Bay.

This is also Morgan's plan in Junlin City.

Looking at the huge city standing by the sea at the end of the line of sight.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Morgan suddenly remembered the news about Daenerys Targaryen he had bought on the underground black market in Junlin City.

One of them is: Daenerys seems to have married Zogo Kao, who is the largest lord of Dothraki, in this city.

at this time.

Suddenly a loud voice came from behind.

"The city you see ahead is our destination this time, Pantos, the most prosperous free city state..."

"Guests, bring your own things..."

"We are the "Hartwind" passenger ship, the next time we leave Pantos in seven days..."

"Guests who want to go to Junlin City can remember our departure time..."

"Finally, Captain Bobota wishes you a good time..."

The captain's voice fell.

The guests on the deck began to make loud noises.

The guests who were still nestled in their respective rooms immediately ran out of the cabin.

Feel the excitement of the crowd coming from behind.

Morgan can understand.

After all, in such a world, there are many people who have never left a village in their entire lives.

What's more, it crossed the narrow sea, from the Westeros continent where the Seven Kingdoms are located, to another Essos continent, and came to a free trade city-state that was different from the Seven Kingdoms in many respects.

There are similar experiences, after being old, it is completely possible to spend the rest of your life in the tavern.

After half an hour.

The mast passenger ship arrived at the Pantos city-state pier.

Morgan stepped onto the dock.

Followed by a large crowd of people queuing into the gates of Pantos.

Walking on the street, looking at the large number of round square brick tower buildings on both sides of the street, as well as a large number of red temples and other buildings, you know that the architectural style of this city is significantly different from the traditional Junlincheng architecture.

Morgan didn't plan to stay in Pantos long this time.

It was still too far from Astapo. He didn't know the specific time Daenerys Targaryen would go to Astapo, so he had to rush to it as soon as possible.

The one-month journey at sea allowed Morgan to consume more food and wine than ever before.

Most of the materials prepared in Junlin City were consumed.

He needs to replenish food and drinks, and a mount that needs to hurry.

Because the horses cannot board the boat.

Morgan did not abandon his love horse "carrot", but gave it to his little lover Diana in Junlin City to raise it on his behalf.

After finding the tavern in the city.

Morgan didn't choose to buy horses directly from the tavern this time, but instead set off on his own to a shop specializing in selling horses in Pantos.

He inquired and knew that the weather in Essos was good this season.

If it goes well.

The next journey to Astapo should take about three months.

For such a long time, it is absolutely an extremely painful thing to ride on horseback.

Therefore, he is going to buy a complete set of carriage equipment.

And it's not a single-seater carriage like I once bought.

He is going to buy a large two-seater carriage this time.

If you are carrying a huge amount of money, of course you have to enjoy it, and you can't wrong yourself.

This is what Morgan realized in Junlin City some time ago.

It's been a long time since I came to another world.

Morgan is familiar with horses now.

It didn't take long before he chose two good horses.

To avoid accidents halfway.

The horse he chooses is the kind that can pull a cart with the shackles, and can be a war horse without the shackles.

Although the price is much more expensive than the average horse.

But these little money Morgans don't care.

Buy two horses, and a two-seater exquisite and spacious carriage.

Morgan took a carriage and continued to wander the streets of Pantos.

When passing a wide square on the way back to the pub.

He suddenly saw a raised platform in the middle of the square.

Standing on a high platform are dozens of short, thin boys and girls with chains on their hands and necks ~lightnovelpub.net~ and a bloated middle-aged man with a delicate figure and a big belly. what.

Below the high platform, a large circle of people was densely surrounded.

"Is this an auction of slaves?"

The first time he saw such a picture, the thought flashed through Morgan's mind.

On the continent of Westeros, whether it is in Winterfell in the north or King's City in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, the sale of slaves is not allowed.

But in a free city-state like Pantos.

Although slavery is also not allowed, there are no strong legal provisions and armed suppression.

In many cases, for things that involve a large amount of money, the legal provisions can easily be exploited and rendered in vain.

Just like Pantos in front of him, although slavery is not allowed, this does not prevent some wealthy citizens from keeping slaves.

There are tens of thousands of "free slaves" in this city-state.

These free slaves are completely indistinguishable from slaves, except that they are slightly different from slaves in the calling law.

Of course, Morgan is not clear about these.

I saw the slave auction site for the first time.

Morgan naturally wanted to go up and take a look.

Drive to the platform.

Morgan stood on the edge listening to the fat man's explanation above and quickly understood.

As he had imagined, it was the slave auction venue in front of him, and it was also the auction venue for minor slaves.

Different from adult slaves.

The price of underage slaves is significantly lower.

But female slaves are just the opposite.

The price of underage female slaves is higher.

The reasons are well understood.

In front of him, among the 22 minor slaves, there were 17 boys and only 5 girls.

And listening to the noisy speeches of most onlookers at the scene.

Morgan heard that most of the men came for the five slave girls.
