Lord of Hyranza

Suldak was also stunned by so many kobold slaves crowded together. He didn't expect so many kobolds to be crammed into the bottom cabin of less than [-] square meters. No wonder those slave traders had to cook all day. Porridge, there are so many kobold slaves in the bilge, the food is indeed a little short.
The slave trader strode into the corridor of the bottom cabin, reached out and grabbed the ear of a kobold sitting in the corridor, brutally dragged the kobold slave to the door, looked at the teeth, and scratched the bottom of the eyes , showing the healthy physique of the kobolds, and finally explained to Suldak: "Knight Suldak, look how healthy it is. When you arrive in Hailansa City, there are so many kobold slaves, you can choose Go for the healthiest…”
That's what the slave traders said, and they did.
……
After a whole week of flying, at noon on the seventh day, the magic airship finally arrived at the territory of Hailansa City.
The oak trees all over the mountains and plains in the mountains have begun to sprout, and the mountains are filled with a layer of green. There is a fault in the sea of clouds here. When it is about to reach the city of Hailansa, the magic airship breaks away from the channel of the airflow layer.
In the field of vision, the mountain city became more and more clear. Suldak, Andrew, Samira, and Aphrodite stood on the bow deck. The ogre has gradually adapted to life on the magic airship these days , but he still didn't want to go to the side of the ship, and kept hugging the thickest mast in the middle of the airship. Hearing that Suldak said that he was about to arrive at Hailansa City, his face gradually showed joy.
Suldak pointed to the mountain city standing on the mountainside in the distance, and introduced this small mountain city to everyone. The city of Hailansa is much smaller than the city of Wozhimara. The buildings in the city are built on the mountain, and the buildings look very special It is compact, and every inch of space in the mountain city has been perfectly utilized. From a bird's-eye view of Hailansa City from a high altitude, Hailansa City feels like a three-dimensional exquisite sculpture.
"Are we going to live in this city in the future?" Aphrodite asked yearningly.
Suldak shrugged his shoulders and said, "I may go to the barren land in the Pagros Mountains to serve as the sheriff there, and I won't live here for long."
"This city is so beautiful!" Aphrodite exclaimed.
Suldak said: "If you want to stay here, I can help you arrange it in advance..."
Aphrodite blinked her dark eyes, and said with a smile: "I'd better follow you, on your territory, it might be safer that way."
After she finished speaking, she pointed behind her and signaled to Suldak that her wings were broken, and she was a succubus that had lost most of its strength, but there was no trace of frustration on her face.
Returning to the city of Hailansa again, an indelible emotion arose in my heart. Before Suldak could sigh in his heart, a siren sound woke up Suldak from his mixed feelings.
The airship glides slowly in the air, and the crew lowered all the sails on the airship. The magic airship relies on the magic power on board to move forward slowly. There was a sound, and the sails on the mast were tied to the lowest transom by the crew.
The captain docked the magic airship on the high tower of the airport pier in Hailansa City, and docked firmly on the high tower terminal. The crew standing beside the side of the ship threw a huge rope onto the terminal. The staff of the airport terminal used hooks to Hang the rope smeared with tung oil on the docking pile, pull the airship sliding forward, and the floating airship successfully docked on the airport pier.
Opposite the tower, there happened to be a magical airship full of supplies ready to set sail. The crew on the airship looked here curiously, as if to see if there were any friends they knew on the airship.
The captain raised the hovering position of the magic airship a little higher, and the crew opened the hatch from the bottom of the ship to build a passage.
A slave trader jumped from the ship to the airport tower and negotiated with the staff on the tower.
At this time, the kobold slaves were strung together by ropes and stepped off the airship one by one. They did not live a good life on the airship these days. , Some kobolds staggered, as if they might fall at any time, hearing the whip and whistle thrown by the slave trader, their bodies trembled instinctively.
A slave trader quickly walked up to Suldak, smiled flatteringly, and said to him: "Knight Suldak, can you also help us to send these kobold slaves off the airship, so that It is also convenient for you to choose those strong kobolds from these slaves..."
"I am very happy to help! But my people will not go into the hold." Suldak said to the slave trader.
Slave trader: "Thank you very much!"
Looking at Andrew and Samira who were about to jump off the airship, they supported Aphrodite's arm, supported her slender waist with one hand, and jumped directly on the side of the ship, which was about three meters high from the platform of the airport terminal. After going down, Aphrodite landed firmly on the platform with the veiled Aphrodite.
Samira and Andrew jumped down right behind Suldak, and behind them was the ogre Gullitum. The three-meter-high ogre jumped out of the airship, and the entire terminal platform was sent flying. There was a slight tremor.
Suldak walked along the tower's revolving staircase to the ground. He was carefully observing these kobold slaves along the way. Indeed, as the slave trader said, these kobold slaves were mentally weak and weak, Free from any diseases and health problems.
The thick brown-yellow hair on their bodies has not been bathed for too long, so the hairs are all stuck together, forming black and hard scabs, like scales covering their bodies, and they are full of stench. Everyone tries to get close to them All the people have to twist their noses, their pupils are a kind of blue-gray, maybe they have been locked up for too long, their eyes are a little dull, and their expressions are numb. Only when they see the slave trader's whip and iron hook will they feel Some reactions.
After disembarking, the slave trader applied to the manager of the airport terminal for an open space, and all the kobold slaves were driven to this open space.
Suldak roughly counted these kobold slaves, and found that there were nearly a thousand kobold slaves on the ship, and all of them were crowded into ten cabins in the bottom cabin.
The slave trader had promised Suldak that when the airship arrived in Hailansa City, Suldak could randomly choose the healthiest kobold among these kobold slaves, so even though these kobolds were full of stench, Still suppressing his discomfort, Suldak walked into the crowd of slaves to pick the strongest kobold.
Suldak thought that the remaining kobold slaves would be sent to other places, but he didn't expect all the kobolds on board to get off the airship.
The captain and crew of the magic airship did not disembark.
When Surdak got off the boat, the captain waved to him and said goodbye to him with a smile.
After more than a thousand kobold slaves had disembarked, the assistant of Da Jinxi slipped a letter from Da Jinxi to Suldak, and then led a few slave traders to board the magic boat without looking back. airship.
While Suldak was still reading the letter, the magic airship flew away from the airport terminal at the fastest speed.
The airship did not carry out resupply at the Hailansa Airport Wharf. With the floating device on the airship operating at full speed, it continued to climb high into the sky and gradually disappeared into the blue sky.
The letterhead left by Da Jinxi to Suldak:
……
'Dear Suldak Knight:
I believe that by the time you read this letter, my subordinates have already left Hailansa City and headed for the next destination.
I promise you that I will give you the strongest two hundred kobold slaves, but the selection process seems a bit tedious, so this time please choose yourself.
Among the more than a thousand kobold slaves, you can definitely choose the one you like. Since the warehouse in Bena City is used for other purposes, we have no place to house the remaining kobold slaves, so please handle the remaining kobold slaves on your behalf. You can do whatever you want, sell it or throw it away. In short, I decided to discard all the remaining kobold slaves. If it brings you some unnecessary troubles, please forgive me.
Of course, what I want to see most is that this kobold is a small gift that is not worth mentioning, and can join your team of kobold slaves together.
Sincerely, Ferdinand Kinsey'
……
Seeing a pile of nearly a thousand kobolds gathered in front of him, Suldak realized that what was in front of him turned out to be a big problem. As a knight of the guard battalion of Hailansa City, he certainly couldn't leave [-] kobolds here. At that time, the law and order at the airport pier will be in chaos, and it will be the Hailansa Guard Battalion who will be responsible for the end.
It's just that he is only a knight after all, and the fief he owns is only a small knight's collar. It is really a big problem for Suldak to feed these more than a thousand kobold slaves.
Even the slave trader Da Jinxi failed to sell these kobolds, and Suldak didn't think he could sell all these kobolds.
Looking at the densely packed kobolds in the field, Suldak regretted letting those slave traders go so easily just now...
Andrew and Samira stood beside Suldak. Andrew saw the content of the letter in Suldak's hand, and asked Suldak:
"Captain, what should we do?"
Suldak rubbed his forehead vigorously, and said to Andrew: "You stay here, I will go to the carriage house to rent some carriages, and we will transport them out of the city first."
"Oh……"
Andrew agreed.
The ogre standing on the side once again fell into the surrounding crowd, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The ogre was always in a state of tension by riding the magic airship, and he didn't have a good meal along the way. Now he Touching his shriveled stomach, he was full of expectations that what Suldak had promised at the beginning would have a delicious meal at the most famous barbecue restaurant in Hailansa after he arrived in Hailansa city...
The succubus Aphrodite stood at the gate of the airport terminal, watching the flow of people coming and going at the airport terminal...
She closed her eyes and opened her arms, as if to embrace the earth.
Chapter 492
The largest carriage shop in Hailansa City is located in the southwest corner of the workshop area of Hailansa City. It is only one street away from the south gate. Opposite the carriage shop is the largest free market in Hailansa City. The busiest place in the city, many citizens are willing to buy cheap goods here.
At the beginning of spring, a kind of fresh red cabbage appeared in the free market.
This kind of fern that grows under the rotting leaves is the first wild vegetable that breaks out of the ground after the arrival of spring. The Hailansa people can only eat radishes, pumpkins, cabbages, potatoes and various dried vegetables and dried mushrooms throughout the winter. There is no resistance to this fresh and tender vegetable sprouts.Some mountain people put red cabbage on the stalls, and they will be snatched up immediately.
The mountain people outside the city of Hailansa took advantage of this season, when the permafrost on the southern slope of the mountain completely melted, went up the mountain with hoes to collect wild vegetables and dig cassava.
Cassava is the root of a tree. A cassava tree can produce hundreds of catties of cassava. This kind of cassava grows deep in the mountains. The cassava trees around the village are basically the private property of nobles and knights. Many poor families are Rely on this kind of cassava with trace toxins to survive the food shortage.
Every spring, the free market in Hailansa City will stock up a large amount of cassava. Some homeless people even stand outside the gate of the free market. They specialize in helping merchants carry bags in the market. One copper plate can buy a small cassava Cassava as thick as a child's arm.
There are large orders of cassava traded in this free market every day, so as long as the homeless are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to fill their stomachs in Hailansa City.
……
After entering the spring, the business of the carriage dealers in the city also entered the off-season.
In this season, there will be horse-drawn carriages in the car dealership going into the mountains to pull some cassava and sell them in the free market in Hailansa City, but those meager gross profits are not even as good as the commission for clearing snow in the city in winter.
This carriage house opened a store facing the street. Suerdak walked into the open store door. A blonde girl stood behind the counter and lowered her head to sort out the accounts. There was some noise in the lobby of the store. A group of coachmen Sitting in the rest area of the store and chatting, the people who have free time to chat at this time are basically some truck drivers. Everyone is waiting for the evening bell to ring, and then they can go home for dinner in twos and threes.
Through the open back door, Suldak could clearly see that the backyard of the carriage house was full of carriages. Some grooms unloaded the Gubolai horses from the carriages and carefully brushed the horses with a brush. , and then led the horse back to the stable.
There are also some people cutting hay next to the warehouse where the hay is stored. The hay is mixed with wheat bran and bean cake embryos and stirred evenly before being fed to these Gubolai horses to prevent them from losing fat in spring.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the blond girl raised her head and saw a constructed knight walking in from the door, she immediately stood up and said enthusiastically to Suldak: "Hello, Sir Knight, how can I help you? "
"I want to hire some four-wheeled wagons," said Suldak to the saleswoman.
"Then where are you going?" The female clerk placed a parchment map on the counter and pushed a thin wooden stick in front of Suldak.
Suldak picked up the thin wooden stick, pointed to the easternmost part of the barren land at the southern end of the Pagros Mountains on the map, and the mountainous land adjacent to the side of Hailansa City - the location of Wall Village, and said: "Go to Wall Village , in the barren land outside the Paglos Pass, about a day's journey from the city of Hailansa."
"Are you going to use it now?" The blond shop assistant asked Surdak with big blue eyes.
"Yes." Suldak nodded.
The female clerk reminded Surdak: "Although the ice and snow in the mountains have melted and the road to the outside of the mountain pass is unimpeded, it is a bit more expensive to travel at night than the normal fare during the day. If you have nothing important to do , I suggest you make an appointment tomorrow morning."
Suldak shook his head and said, "I need it tonight, I can't wait until tomorrow."
The female clerk smiled awkwardly, and after thinking about it, she asked Surdak, "So... what other requirements do you have for these four-wheeled carriages?"
Suldak thought about it seriously, and said casually: "It's nothing... By the way, at least these coachmen can't be too afraid of dogs!"
The female clerk carefully recorded the request in the register, lowered her head and wrote while writing: "From High Lansa City to Wall Village outside the Pagolos Pass, you need to cross the Golden Oak Mountain in the city, hire a car For a four-wheeled carriage, you need to pay about six silver coins. By the way, how many four-wheeled carriages do you need to hire?"
Suldak calculated that it would be no problem to carry fifty kobold slaves in a four-wheeled carriage. Then more than a thousand kobold slaves would need twenty four-wheeled carriages. In addition, Suldak also planned to buy a batch of cheap cassava in the city of Hailansa. After thinking for a while, he said, "I need thirty!"
The blond-haired female clerk's expression was slightly suffocated, and then she returned to normal, and said to Suldak:
"...Okay, Lord Knight!"
As soon as Suldak entered the carriage shop, he was noticed by the carriage drivers in the rest area next to him. Although they were still chatting without a word, they were a little absent-minded.
The coachmen can't swarm up and surround Suldak to rob the door-to-door business, they can only wait quietly in the rest area, this is the rule set by the coach shop long ago, according to the registration of the coachmen in the morning Sorted, order assigned by Miss Nellie.
However, it took a long time for Miss Nellie to choose the coachman this time, and she went to the rest area to ask the coachmen one by one if they were afraid of dogs. Impossible to say.
Miss Nellie asked around in the rest area without saying anything, and ran to the backyard, went directly to the coachmen who were washing the horses, and asked them if they were afraid of dogs.
These coachmen in the backyard are the few coachmen who have received work today, and they are definitely at the bottom of the carriage shop. They expected that no matter how much work they have, they will not be their turn, so they will squat in the backyard to brush the horses.
Miss Nellie asked the coachmen in the back yard:
"Aneurin, Dirk, and Flor, would you like to take over the night's work? Go to the barren land outside the Pagros Pass."
One of the coachmen, who was washing the leather saddle-bags, stood up straight, with a dripping brush in his hand, and asked Miss Nellie:
"Do you want to go overnight?"
The inner courtyard was full of four-wheeled carriages. Miss Nellie held the registration book, squinted her eyes against the sun and said, "That's right!"
The carriage driver glanced at the carriage shop, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Miss Nellie, of course we are willing, but if you come to us, won't those people in the rest area complain about you?"
Miss Nellie smiled brightly at the handsome coachman, her white teeth were very neat, and said:
"No, because they are all going too..."
The coachman next to him immediately cheered: "Wow, it looks like this is a big deal!"
Miss Nellie nodded proudly, turned and walked back with the register in her arms, saying as she went:
"That's right, the guest is a knight. This time, we have ordered thirty four-wheeled carriages. If there is no problem, come with me to the store."
The coachman whose name was called quickly stopped what he was doing and followed Miss Nellie into the store.
……
Two-horse four-wheeled trucks drove out of the carriage house one after another, and parked neatly in a row on the side of the road.
Suldak didn't wait in the carriage house. He walked into the free market opposite the carriage house, casually asked about the market price of cassava, and then began to scour the free market for hundreds or even tens of catties. They bought all of them if they fit, but the place of delivery was required to be at the door of the carriage shop.He just walked around the free market and bought a lot of cassava.
The yield of this kind of cassava is very large, but it contains a small amount of toxins. If you eat too much, your lips will swell and you will have diarrhea. Even the poor dare not eat more.
It didn't take long for the stall owners in the free market to carry cassava to the gate of the carriage house.
Weigh first according to the process, and Suldak pays again, and then the stall owners will load the cassava into the last nine four-wheeled wagons until all nine four-wheeled wagons are full of cassava, Sulda Ke Cai finally called to stop, and the excess cassava was packed in bulk into the compartments of the remaining four-wheeled trucks.
Suldak ordered several horse-drawn carriages loaded with cassava to drive out of the city and wait beside the road leading outside the city to the Pagros Pass.
Then he jumped into the front four-wheeled carriage and rushed to the airport wharf with a long line of four-wheeled carriages.
Andrew, who was waiting at the gate of the airport pier, saw Suldak standing in the wagon carriage, he let out a long sigh of relief, and waved to Suldak in the distance.
The kobold slaves were trapped in a string by the ropes. They boarded the four-wheeled carriage in a long line, and finally left the city of Hailansa in a four-wheeled wagon before the city gate was closed.
Suldak didn't let these kobold slaves walk out of Hailansa City directly. Apart from the lack of strength of these kobolds, he was still worried that these smelly kobold slaves crossing the street would cause some unnecessary riots. There is not enough manpower here, and he is worried that the kobold slaves will take the opportunity to escape. Once there are signs of this, there is no way to stop it.
It is much safer to load these kobold slaves into a wagon, and it is also better to control these kobold slaves.
The kobold slaves who had been hungry for a whole day boarded the four-wheeled carriage, only to find that some cassava had already been prepared in the carriage, and they hurriedly got into the carriage, sat down silently, and chomped on the cassava Wake up, they have been starved all day, and now they don't care about the toxins in the cassava.
Looking at these short kobold slaves exuding a strong smell, the coachmen couldn't help complaining in their hearts, this big business is really difficult to do, once the business is completed, the truck must be transported from the inside to the back. It was enough to scrub the outside carefully, but when the carriage was full of kobold slaves, the coachmen quickly inserted the box boards at the back of the carriage.
Some coachmen saw that the weak young kobold slaves couldn't climb up the cargo box, and even went up to push it with their noses held...
Nanai native warrior Andrew and half-elf archer Samira stood guard at the front and back of the convoy to prevent kobold slaves from escaping in the chaos. The arrest will bring some unnecessary safety hazards to the public security of High Lansa City.
