After lunch, Katniss Messi will return to the temple again.

As usual, Feng Feiyang had disappeared, and the raven was lying on the books that replaced the statue of God. The girl was no longer surprised by this, but according to her habits, she prayed in pure sense to the book and the sword according to her habits she had originally believed in the Father God.

A moment later, when she stood up, the raven woke up, "Girl, are you going outside?" asked the angel who claimed to die, and jumped onto the girl's shoulder, "Take me out to bask in the sun."

Katniss naturally had no objection.

The one who accompanied her out today was the despicable knight Henry Garcia. They did not bring their servants, but they rode their horses and long swords, and walked out from the gate of the castle.

If you rode a horse from Rapidsburg in the early morning and ran westward, you might not be able to get out of Messi's seal when the sun sets. The area is quite large, but it is also barren enough. In addition, it is close to the huge dangerous place of the Forgotten Forest, which is always terrible. Ashu8

Like the little tenants of Messi's family, even the land near the Rapidsburg was not enough...

But that is already a thing of the past! After solving the monster Naga, Katnis has more thoughts and energy to take care of the seal. She traded what Feng Feiyang said, "a big thing that is heavy and intrusive", that is, the valuables handed down from the family, and bought the manpower that she needs most at present.

The earliest batch will arrive today, and she is about to rush to see it.

Every time the two rode their horses, soldiers came back to us, "Miss, Lord Robert is back!" Then, they were led to the riverside not far from the Rapids Fort.

Robert Michelle, the Green Grass Knight who went to buy manpower, was leading the crowd to rest there.

There were 57 slaves who bought them back this time. They were all hungry, yellow and thin, and young men. Katnis looked at them and found that most of them were strange-looking strangers. After asking, he realized that they were all prisoners of war.

The eastern expedition initiated by the Father's Church, brought a large amount of local gold, many precious spices, luxury goods, and more prisoners of war. They were all civilians from the Eastern countries. After their defeat, they were unable to pay high ransoms. They were brought here by the lords and merchants in the land of their hometowns because they were unable to pay high ransoms.

But at the current level of agricultural land in the world, those lords are unable to support so many people... It is precisely because of this that it doesn't cost Katniss much to buy them.

Come here from the East. These slaves have long understood "discipline" under the education of whips and sticks. Therefore, they don't need soldiers to scold them. These people sit there quietly, sitting there quietly with fear and anxiety.

Katnis nodded slightly. Knight Garcia took a few steps forward and asked at these people: "Who is a craftsman among you? Does anyone have any skills?"

He told the prisoners to look at each other, but no one responded. This reaction made Henry frown at the sight of him. He looked forward a few meters and was about to scream. He saw the Green Grass Knight shouting here a little further away. "Don't put any effort into it. Henry, that's what they said. They can't understand!" As he said that, he led a man to Katniss.

The man was about thirties, wearing a greasy, dusty robe. Because it had not been cleaned for many years, he could no longer see its original color. Looking at Katniss, he was so nervous that he wanted to smile charmingly but did not dare to look up. His voice was even more pitiful. The girl listened there for a long time and only understood him as saying: "Businessman."

Later, with Robert's explanation, she realized that the "businessman" was just a guy who went to the East to venture to find gold - and a fool who used his life to buy slaves who were increasingly worthless in the West - this business that took nearly a year of risk not only did not make money, but also lost most of the money...

The remaining little money is no longer enough, so it is not realistic to ask this fool to go to the East to take risks, and it becomes unrealistic to settle down and then farm. As the population and labor increase, the cost of renting land becomes more and more expensive.

"This guy can speak the language over there, so I brought him over," Robert said, and poked the man with the wooden stick in his hand, "It's your turn to work!"

The man immediately woke up and ran to the group of slaves, repeating what the Knight Garcia had said earlier in a foreign language, "Who is a craftsman among you? Does anyone have any craftsmanship?"

The slaves understood and looked at each other. After a brief hesitation, nearly twenty people stood up.

This ratio is really high and a bit unreasonable...

You should know that in Western countries, craftsmen are "talents" that every lord attaches great importance to - even coopers are no exception. At some low-level lord banquets, they will also use the number of craftsmen they have as topics of conversation and show off to other lords.

Therefore, a skilled slave is dozens of times more expensive than an ordinary slave.

Katniss knew how much money he had spent, and knew that there was no chance of a great fortune. He shook his head in disappointment. Robert was anxious. Seeing the lady like this, he couldn't help asking, "Do you want to teach such dishonest guys a lesson!"

Katniss still shook his head, "No, this matter won't be fooled for long, and when it is used, it will naturally be clear... By that time, it will not be too late to teach them some lessons." Then, he ordered the "translator" to record the skills learned by these "craftsmen" for verification.

As soon as Katnis finished speaking, he heard a whisper, which was the raven on her shoulder making secret words to her. So she nodded and repeated the prompt of the angel of death, "Ask them again who are the believers of the 'Father's Church'!"

There were not many people responding this time, less than ten people stood up. Among the sitting crowd, they were restless and couldn't help but look at the guards around, fearing that they would come and drag them out. They occasionally lowered their heads and glared at the few people around them with anger. And the people around them did not dare to look at them with their eyes...

This result is naturally also moisture, but Katniss didn't know it either. She just asked the soldiers to tie a hemp rope to the left arm of the people and ignored it.

So the Green Grass Knight Robert stepped forward again, and with the help of the interpreter, he led the soldiers to drive the group into the shabby tent. There, the slaves would get a bowl of oatmeal that could barely fill their stomachs, thin oatmeal, and a job that suited their abilities.
