The Blackleaf Elves had different surnames.
Only the royal family had the surname Blackleaf, named after the first two words of the Blackleaf Forest.
And this was only after the Blackleaf Elves moved into the forest.
Before the Gods' continent was broken, the surname of this Elven royal family was' Dawn '. Just like the battle energy that William cultivated, the first two words were the same.
As for why the Elven King changed his surname, there were many rumors …
Some people said that it seemed to be related to some secrets of the Blackleaf Forest. There were even rumors that the Blackleaf Forest had the sapling of the World Tree …
But the Blackleaf Elves spread the news. The Elven King wanted his descendants to remember the humiliation of leaving the continent. He wanted them to remember the shame of living in the forest and not being able to appear on the continent.
As for whether there was the idea of ruling the continent again, different people had different views.
Anyway, humans still did not dare to attack the Elven forest. Not only were the human countries fighting for territory, the Orcs and Demons had also brought them a lot of trouble.
Under the rule of the royal family, the Blackleaf Elves rarely appeared in the eyes of humans. The surname of the Elven royal family was simply a legend to many ordinary people. There were too few records.
Even the Elves had become a legend in many remote areas.
There were three Elven kingdoms in the legendary continent.
The Blackleaf Elves in the Blackleaf Forest in the south of the continent.
The Moonlight Elves in the Moon Forest in the center of the continent.
The Snow Elves in the Northern Ice Forest.
Three kingdoms, three Elven royal families, and each kingdom had more than 10 million Elves.
These more than 30 million pure-blooded Elves were the only Elves left in the legendary continent. Compared to the billions of human empires and kingdoms, they could not be compared at all. This was also one of the reasons why the Elves did not come out.
Curry knew the surname of the Blackleaf Elven royal family, which meant that he had at least come into contact with the Elves and even knew some secrets.
Thinking of this,
William smiled and let Curry walk to the side with him. He said directly, "Those things you mentioned are small things. I just want to know, do you have the ability to buy slaves?"
"Slaves???" Curry's eyes widened. He could not help but look at William a few more times. After all, he had never known that pure-blooded Elves were interested in buying slaves.
Because the Elves were the race that worshipped freedom the most, the Elves rarely restricted the freedom of other races, and they had never bought slaves.
William shrugged his shoulders. There was a tinge of sorrow in his tone. "I'm buying slaves so that they can become commoners again. I want to develop my territory, so I need manpower. If you help me buy slaves, I will directly grant them the status of commoners. I only hope that they will help me build my territory. As for whether they stay or leave, I won't care. "
Curry suddenly understood and hurriedly nodded: "Sir Lord is kind-hearted, may the gods always bless you."
At the same time, he said confidently, "Of course, what kind of slaves do you want?"
That feeling was like he could buy whatever type of slave William wanted.
William had to believe it. The traveling merchant teams on the legendary continent all had some power behind them. One of the people in the merchant teams might be nobles.
After all, this was a form of training. Many great nobles did not want their children to become mercenaries or join adventurer teams to court death. Thus, they would throw their children into a caravan. After a few years, those who could survive and return to their families were basically all smart people.
Of course, the children who could be thrown out to train were basically not core members of the family. Otherwise, they would not be favored by the great nobles.
Facing Curry, who might be a noble, facing Curry, who might discover his identity, William did not mind putting on airs and scaring him: "Professionals!"
"…" Curry pondered for two seconds: "Sure, how much do you want?"
William also pondered for two seconds: "What price?"
It was very obvious.
William still wanted to continue pretending.
"It depends on the age, race, gender, type of profession, as well as the level of the profession. But most of them are professionals who have just entered the beginner level … Of course, there are no Elves or half-Elves. Elegant and powerful existences like the Elves definitely cannot be treated as slaves. They should be born nobles."
Curry was very experienced in this. He had done many things as a human trafficker. As for the latter explanation, William was too lazy to care.
Were there any elven slaves in the warehouse?
He really didn't …
After all, it was a small duchy, and the slave traffickers did not dare to be arrogant enough to capture pure-blooded Elves. Otherwise, if the Elves in Blackleaf Forest found out, it would not just be revenge on the nobles.
It would directly destroy the city and the country!
Because for a long time after the pure-blooded Elves left the forest, the humans thought that the Elves had lost their power and everyone wanted to bully them.
Many pure-blooded Elves disappeared inexplicably. They were captured by the human slave traffickers and sold to the nobles. Among them, the Elven girls were the most miserable …
It was not that the royal family of Blackleaf Forest would not take revenge. Every time they found out about this, they would definitely choose to take revenge. Often, the nobles would also die very miserably.
But this kind of warning was nothing to the nobles. There would always be nobles who would secretly carry out this kind of inhumane trade again.
Hence.
After tens of thousands of Elves were cruelly abused.
The Elves in Blackleaf Forest really exploded.
Within three days, thirteen Legendary Elves destroyed seven human duchies, three human kingdoms, and one human empire's important city was destroyed by a forbidden spell …
That day, there were millions of casualties.
From that day onwards, very few people dared to go to Blackleaf Forest to find trouble …
As for whether the humans sought justice?
Very few people knew …
Of the thirteen Legendary Elves, six died one after another. They were buried under the black tree in Dark Night City. Their tombstones were covered with flowers. Their heroic deeds were sung by the Elves. Their achievements … would live on forever.
There was no justice or kindness in this kind of thing. This was a war between races.
To the Blackleaf Elves, the actions of the thirteen Elves were heroes.
To the humans who died innocently, they were demons.
William seemed to be recalling something. Curry swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say a word. At this moment, he only wanted to slap himself a few times, as if he was blaming himself for talking nonsense.
Because he also knew that dark history of swords being drawn.
As for the half-Elven slaves?
There would definitely be unlucky half-Elves who would be caught and turned into slaves.
William sighed deeply. "Warrior-type professionals, below 25 years old, I want 500 people.
Manufacturing professionals, blacksmiths, tailors, jewellers, engineers, and architects, I want 100 people each.
Non-professionals, half male and half female. I want 3000 slaves aged 15-20 years old! "
"500 Warrior-type professionals, originally 50 gold coins per person. Since the Lord is so generous, I will make it 30 gold coins.
The price of the 500 manufacturing professionals is originally different, but 20 gold coins per person is enough.
As for the 3000 ordinary slaves, because they are too young, the lowest price is 5 gold coins per person.
"A total of 40000 gold coins. If the Lord really wants them, you can give me 38000 gold coins. This is already the lowest price I can promise!"
Curry was quite experienced in slave trading. As soon as William finished speaking, he had already finished calculating the price. He was so skilled that William could not help but feel sorry for those slaves …
The Lord raised his eyebrows. Curry did not explain anything. This was really the lowest price. If he lowered the price any further, he would lose …
As for the mages?
Both of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention it. How was this buying slaves? This was buying one's own father …
However, William did not say much. He just patted his shoulder. "Seven days later, bring the slaves over and bring back boxes of gold coins."
Curry did not receive the deposit he wanted, but he looked into William's eyes and bowed. "It's a pleasure working with you, Your Highness!"
When William heard these two words, he did not explain anything. He just smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Curry saw this scene.
The big stone in his heart finally fell into his stomach. He finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had bet correctly. The guy in front of him was definitely the Prince of the Elves!!!
The problem of money …
Was it still a problem?
"Money … is a big problem." William crossed his hands, his gaze gradually becoming dull.
