Chapter 17 Swallowing the World
Buck's efficiency is very fast, but he has prepared all the slaves Lin Dao needs in two days. Among them, there are naturally elf slaves that Lin Dao urgently needs.
When the ten elf slaves stood in front of Lin Dao, Lin Dao almost broke off the table leg as a mace and slapped Buck to death. Lin Dao pointed to the ten old elves in front of him who could no longer be described as old and pale, and shouted at Buck: "Do it! Ouyang dry! Didn't you say that the elves don't have crooked melons and broken dates? Look, these people are worthy of the public!"
Indeed, the ten elves standing in front of Lin Dao are all old. Men and women, their faces are full of wrinkles, and due to long-term malnutrition, their faces are sallow, and they look like they will fall down when they are blown by the wind. Buck had a bitter face. He had long known that Lin Dao would be furious. To be honest, he had no choice, because the beautiful and handsome elves had been monopolized by the Marquis of Tianyan.
Lin Dao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Buck, "Give me an explanation."
"There is really nothing we can do about this, because the Marquis of Tianyan has monopolized all the elf slaves, and in the past few years, with the unification of the elf clans, it has been difficult for us to catch elf slaves. Even these have cost me a lot of energy to buy them for you. However, you can rest assured that although these ten people are too old, they are all the best among the elves, and one of them is still a Druid.
Although Lin Dao was very satisfied with these ten elves, he could not make a happy expression on the surface. This is talking about business. Businessmen should be happy and angry, and they should be impermanent. That is to say, don't tell others your heart, try to maximize your benefits, and summarize it in the most popular word as "bargaining".
"Buck, this is different from the information we talked about at the beginning. Although they are all elves, what else is there, it is a fact that the product is asymmetrical with the description. I'm afraid the price will be greatly reduced."
As soon as Buck heard this, he panicked. Not to mention anything else, he spent a lot of money on these ten elves alone and hurriedly said, "Master Lin, you can't do this. Although the goods do not match the pre-described, but..."
"Buck, what do you think is the most precious thing for our businessmen?" Lin Dao suddenly interrupted Buck.
"Yes, it's honest and trustworthy." In ancient times, the status of merchants was extremely underground, and the only thing they could rely on was the word "honesty".
"The so-called 'no business, no sharp', Buck, our first business, you didn't do a good job in the word 'tip'."
A few simple words made Buck sound like a cloud. At this moment, he knew that the young man with a businessman background in front of him was definitely a profiteer among profiteers.
The allusion to no merchants knows that it is derived from buying rice as a rising bucket as a measuring device in the old days, so there is a saying of "shengdou Xiaomin". When measuring rice, the seller will flatten the bulging rice in the bucket with a mahogany ruler to ensure that the weight is accurate. After the transaction of silver goods, the merchant will add another rice in the rice basket to the rice bucket. If the surface of the rice has been flattened, it will be bulged into a pinch of "pointed head". It has become a custom to measure the rice and add some points, that is, whenever you do business, you always add a little head to the guests. This is a business gimmick for old-fashioned businessmen. This small group of "adding heads" is very useful for guests, so there is a saying that "no business is not sharp".
However, Buck didn't expect that Lin Dao would get a bargain and deal with Lin Dao, which made him feel that the Yangtze River was pushed forward, and the generation was stronger than the generation.
Of course, for the two parties, Buck is just a superficial loss. In fact, he has made some money, and he knows that he will have a lot of cooperation with Lin Dao, but anyone who knows how to do business will never do business so much. And it was Lin Dao who saw this that the lion opened his mouth and bought the elves, whose original price was 25,000 gold coins, at a low average price of 12,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to cutting a large piece of meat on Buck's heart.
The first slaves sent by Buck were generally satisfactory, especially the ten old elves. Lin Dao naturally can't judge the strength of the elves, but he is loyal. After Buck left, Ling Zhong went to Lin Dao's side and pointed to an old female elf standing in the center and said to Lin Dao, "Young master, she is the Druid mentioned by Buck, and she is also a big Druid."
Hearing what Ling Zhong said, the elf immediately lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Ling Zhong's fierce eyes.
"Uncle Zhong, I don't know much about aliens. Tell me something about this elf first."
When Ling Zhong saw Lin Dao's inquiring eyes, he paused and explained to Lin Dao, "The eight wilderness aliens are different from us human beings in Kyushu. They do not have a very strict class system because of many problems such as faith and culture. Take the elf clan as an example. Although the elf clan has several branches, there are no such groups in their society. They are equal to each other. Even the elf queen can't kill an elf civilian indiscriminately.
"How can such a peaceful society make progress? No wonder the elves will be enslaved by human beings. As long as it is an intelligent creature, it should be self-motivated. A race that has lost its self-motivation will always be enslaved by others. Lin Dao said this directly to the old female elf that year.
Sure enough, when the old elves heard Lin Dao say this, they began to refute: "Human beings, I admit that you are very powerful, but your selfish desires will destroy everything you have now one day. We elves are the favorite of the goddess of nature. When the goddess of nature comes, it will be the end of your mankind!"
"Excuse me. If there is really any goddess of nature, you big Druid will not be a slave to my little businessman." Lin Dao sneered and shrugged his shoulders. He turned his head and asked Ling Zhong, "What is the status of the big Druid in the elf clan?"
"Very noble. To be honest, she hides it very well, and ordinary people really can't tell her true identity. But it's a pity that I had a deal with a big Druid and his two Druid apprentices when I was young. I was very familiar with their breath and energy fluctuations, and there would be an oracle rune in the eyebrows of the big Druid. Although this rune was covered by her, I learned from the big Druid. The way to distinguish." With that, Ling Zhong's hands glowed with a faint green light, and the old female elf's face changed greatly when she saw this, and Lin Dao stretched out her hand to stop Ling Zhong's action.
Lin Dao smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhong, let's not scare this big Druid again."
"Yes, young master." To be honest, Ling Zhong did not want to hurt the big Druid, because he had a life-and-death relationship with the Druid, and emotionally he did not want to be opposed to the elf clan.
"Human beings, in your human words, we are all old and aging, and it won't be of much use to you. You spend a lot of money to buy us. You don't just want to arrange a few elf servants in your house, do you?" The old elves are not as decadent as other elves. Her eyes are still shining with tenacious light. Obviously, the painful experience has not completely wiped out her will.
"No, no, no, on the contrary, the older you are, the more useful it is to me. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. Lin Dao gave a non-standard human aristocratic salute to the ten elves, "My name is Lin Dao, and my name is Desheng. Er, it seems that there is nothing else. In fact, I bought you not to enslave you, but to find a place for you to show your talents.
Lin Dao said so, not only the old female elves, but all the elves snorted coldly, obviously feeling extremely disdainful of Lin Dao's shamelessness.
"Well, in fact, I also think what I said is a little too official. Let's be straightforward. To put it bluntly, young master, I just want you to cultivate some medicinal herbs and crops for me.
Hearing what Lin Dao said, the uneasiness in the hearts of the elves eased a little. If it was really like what Lin Dao said, then they would not be too sad in the next life. After all, the old female elf was once the superior, and her thinking angle was also different from that of ordinary people. At present, she asked, "If it's just a one-sided cultivation of plants, then we are naturally willing to help, but..."
"There's nothing good about it, because you have no other choice!" Lin Dao's face turned pale and gradually cooled down. He knew that he should give these slaves a down. "You are just slaves I paid for. On my slave contract, you have signed your names. Once you do anything that violates the rules, I will kill you immediately!"
The old elf looked straight at Lin Dao and finally sighed helplessly. She knew that she was no longer the big Druid of those years, and now she is not qualified to negotiate with the human beings in front of her.
"Mr. Druid, I hope you can work well for me. I have always been fair in doing things. As long as your work can be recognized by me, you will get anything but freedom. Lin Dao knew that he had spent too much time with these ten elf slaves. At that moment, he handed over the ten elves to Ling Zhong, and he went to see the other slaves in the yard.
"Human, please wait a minute." When Lin Dao walked to the door, the old elf seemed to suddenly make up her mind and stopped Lin Dao.
"What's the matter?" Lin Dao turned his head. He seemed to be a little confused and slightly uncomfortable for a former big Druid to call himself the master, and looked at the old female elf with suspicion.
"Please don't reveal my identity, because I am no longer a big Druid, and I was expelled by the Elf Queen. Now I'm just a humble slave." The old female elf does not seem to have any negative emotions because she is deprived of her noble and prominent identity. Now she just looks extremely tired, but there is a sense of relief in her fatigue.
"No problem, I'm not that stupid."
"Thank you." The old female elf made a courtesy to Lin Dao that Lin Dao couldn't understand.
