Sea temple.
Shortly after Soran left, the figure of the noblewoman also appeared. She looked up at the Naga Siren priest who did not look very good in front of her and said, "Is that him?"
The Naga Siren priest's face was still a little ugly because she found that Søren was like a slippery loach. No matter how she tried to rope him in, it seemed that she was still lacking a little bit. Sometimes she even felt like she was punching the air, and her internal organs were faintly uncomfortable. She glanced at the charming noblewoman in front of her and said slowly, "Not necessarily. This human is too cunning. Unless he completely joins us, you are just bait in front of him. "
"We have spent too many resources on you. Without our help, your father's territory would have been swallowed up by others."
"Also."
"Pay attention to your virginity. I've noticed that this is a huge temptation for human males. Before we decide on someone who's really valuable to us, you can't get too close to any male creature. Your current task is still to continue to expand your influence. If necessary, provoke a war between the nobles on the south coast! Only war can break the inherent power blockade and let us penetrate into the human race! "
The noblewoman's face was a little stiff, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes, but she still nodded and said, "Yes."
No matter what woman, there would be a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart when she was used as a bargaining chip. However, it seemed that her awe of the Sea temple was very obvious, and the Sea temple should have controlled her a lot, so she had to bow her head under such obviously humiliating words. No one knew what agreement Søren and the Naga Siren priest finally reached, but looking at the Naga Siren priest's face now, she didn't seem to have the upper hand.
This made her look up to Søren. To be able to play tricks with the Sea temple also required confidence and strength.
…
Søren left the Sea temple.
His complexion wasn't very good either. From the moment he left the temple, his expression was ashen. He turned around and came to the port, then waved his hand to summon a pirate, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Adele to come and see me."
Very soon.
A red-haired female pirate in tight leather armor appeared in front of Soran. She carefully glanced at Soran's face and then said, "Your Excellency? What are your orders? "
Søren glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "From today onwards, 50% of the profits of the port Tylon route will be handed over to the Sea Temple. You will personally control the smuggling trade of the Shipwreck Bay route. You must ensure that no one else can touch this route. From now on, no matter if it's an official or private slave trade, as long as it's on the sea, we must capture it. Anyone who wants to make money from the slave trade has to get our permission! "
Slave trade.
This was the main source of trade for the South Coast, because there were many mines near the coast, which required a lot of labor to mine. It was basically impossible to hire civilians. Everyone knew that the mine was a place of no return, so they could only find labor from criminals and slaves. In addition, the nobles in this area had many manors and economic systems, so slaves were the cheapest labor force from any perspective.
Slaves, this was a common problem.
Even the gods could not change the status quo. Even the slavery system was supported and affirmed by many gods.
Even in Søren's memory of his previous life, the abolition of the slavery system was delayed until modern history. In this world, it was even more deeply rooted and lasted for countless years, almost to the point where it was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Most ordinary people would desire to have a manor land, and then buy and own some slaves. From then on, the slaves would be responsible for farming, and they would live a leisurely life without worrying about food and clothing. If it weren't for many kind people and some churches who hated the slavery system, it would have become rampant in the South.
"Yes. Sir. "
Adele, who had long red hair, nodded and replied, "I'll arrange the manpower now."
Søren glanced at her silently, then said, "Do you know a woman named Monica? She also has the surname Isabella like you, and is the only daughter of an earl. "
The red-haired female pirate was puzzled for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Sir. The surname Isabella is distributed in the South and the West. She may be related to my mother, but because of my background, I'm unfamiliar with these people. 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, he should be my mother's cousin. There are only so many people with the surname Isabella near the South Coast. "
A declining aristocrat?
It was indeed a good investment target, and also easy to control.
Søren nodded gently 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, "Sir … You value the slave trade so much, are you going to use slaves to expand overseas? … I'm not questioning your decision, I'm just curious and guessing! … "
In the end, there was a hint of awe on her face.
Søren's expression was a little surprised, but he didn't want to answer. He just said in a deep voice, "Do your own thing. You'll know when the time comes. "
Slaves were the cheapest labor force, and also the easiest group of people to satisfy.
They had been forced to despair by life, as long as they were given a little hope, a little right to live, a little desire for freedom, they would become a very useful card. Søren not only needed their labor force, but also needed them as a foundation. It was very difficult to transfer people from overseas. The mainland was not completely chaotic yet, and it was too risky to attract explorers and adventurers. Slaves were a key part of Søren's plan.
Søren walked in the direction of his residence.
Adele Isabella stayed where she was, looking in the direction Søren left in a daze. The more she knew, the more she felt that this sir had a big plan, because he easily gave up a large part of the benefits of being a pirate. A person who could give up so many benefits must be for something more valuable.
What did this man want?
She was actually a little excited, and she couldn't wait to know his plan.
Unfortunately, she could only hide it deep in her mind.
…
Søren returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a petite figure pouncing on him, and then directly hanging on his body. Vivian hugged his neck and twisted it, and said in a crisp voice, "Big brother is finally back! I'm bored to death alone! … "
Søren smiled, picked her up, and then put her on the bed.
Then he sat down, and said with a serious expression, "Vivian? How have you been? Do you feel any discomfort? Why did you call yourself Lillian the Witch of Fear last time? "
The little girl's body stiffened, and then her eyes flickered, and then she whispered, "I … I'm okay! … But I remember a lot of things! … Among them is the knowledge of Lillian! After that, I learned a lot of spells and became much more powerful than before! … "
"Oh! … Big brother, will you not like Vivian because of this? … "
Speaking of this, the little girl's expression suddenly became a little pitiful.
Søren looked at her with a little heartache. He leaned over and kissed her forehead, and then said, "Silly girl! … I will always be by your side! … "
Was it really like this?
Søren's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly guessed, "If I didn't come, and Søren died like this, Vivian would become Lillian?"
"I hope I won't leave any hidden dangers for her!"
"No!"
"I have to find a way to kill the other Sons of Fear, and then completely wipe out the Fear Lord's consciousness! Otherwise, as long as his consciousness still exists, it will be an invisible hidden danger. I may be affected when I fight against the Fear Lord's consciousness, and Vivian can even fight against the Fear Lord's consciousness. "
Søren seemed to be thinking about something.
The little girl's expression was a little unnatural, but she still sat next to him obediently.
Come here for a while.
Søren seemed to have thought of something, and said in a deep voice, "Vivian! Big brother has a way to help you check your body. It may be a little uncomfortable, are you willing to give it a try? "
The little girl's face was a little confused, but she still nodded very obediently.
Søren showed a little smile.
Then, there was a light in his eyes. This gaze seemed to make Vivian feel a little uncomfortable, as if her whole body was exposed in front of her brother's eyes. She faintly felt a little repulsed and a little shy.
A row of data appeared:
"Do you want to perform a data scan on the target?! … "
"Attention!"
"The target is very powerful and dangerous! … There may be hostility! … Data scan requires 16000 Slaughter EXP! … "
"Do you want to scan?! … "
It actually requires so much Slaughter EXP?
Although Søren felt a little pain in his heart, after looking at the nearly 70,000 Slaughter EXP he had accumulated, he still silently chose to confirm. He needed to know to what extent Vivian had been strengthened, and also needed to know if Vivian was affected by the Fear Lord's consciousness. The Slaughter EXP could be earned later, and Vivian's safety was more important in Søren's eyes.
