ARCHDEUS

NEW COUNT(4)

A few days later, Alex meets Regis again. This time the reason for their meeting was about the business being proposed by Alex. The two talked about it in the study room at the Fertiphile mansion located in the capital.

For the sake of being able to advance his territory, Alex needed a workforce that was not small so inevitably he had to buy slaves. Fortunately Regis was a noble who owned the largest slave production area in the kingdom.

As a county located in the southeast east of the kingdom, Morhust had access to neighboring countries that were generally quite close to the Central Laurentia Continent Region. The closer they got to East Laurentia, the more slave sales access they could get. That's because it is different in all regions of the continent Laurentia, in East Laurentia the war until now still has not subsided even shows a higher intensity. The population there also tends to be a lot whether it is human or demihuman like beastman. That is why in East Laurentia has become the heart of the slavery business in the continent whose trade routes are referred to as the Translaurentia Line.

Over the past few years, Morhust has successfully improved their business capabilities in the slavery industry. They had even gotten rid of Sandwealth as the area with the highest number of slaves. Now Morhust was the region with the largest production of slaves in this kingdom.

So because it happened that Regis was his friend, Alex also immediately proposed the purchase of slaves in large quantities for the development of his territory. Of course, he also expects the price of friends in this transaction.

"Hmm .. so you want to buy slaves? Well, no problem, I'll provide it. As I recall we have stock for human slaves from the east. You know the eastern people, right? They are people who have short stature, narrow-eyed, and their skin is pale white. Or do you want a slave girl from the north? You know the northerners are known as barbarians but to be honest, my clients are on average satisfied with their service."

Regis excitedly explained all the slaves he had. Even he also passionately explained the non-human slaves he possessed.

"Oh right, or do you like elves? Although their gazes were quite cold, but they were the best sleeping companions. If you can conquer them, believe me they can be your protectors" Regis said excitedly.

"OK, okay, relax. I just need human slaves and if possible they are slaves from the Archiberian Region" Alex told Regis.

The Archiberian region is a geographical area that includes several countries including the Artchania Kingdom, Archantolia Kingdom, Ibeltia Kingdom, and the Holy Saintica Iberal Commonwealth States. The reason why Alex asked Regis to sell the slaves who only came from the Archiberian Region, was because all countries in the region were quite similar in culture, religion, and language. So Alex hopes that through the similarity of identity, all slaves can interact with each other.

"Well, it looks like you really like local produce."

Regis smiled mockingly after saying that. It seems that he misunderstood Alex's idea of buying a slave on the grounds of his biological needs.

"Alright, every man has his own taste. So tell me how much you want to buy."

Regis remembered the best slaves he could remember. He counted all the slaves using his fingers. When he was done, Regis smiled as he thought the amount must be in line with Alex's needs.

"Hmm .. probably about 10,000 to 30,000 people."

"Well?!"

Regis was shocked by such a large amount. Even he had to stand up from his chair because he listened to the fantastic amount Alex said.

"What's wrong?" ask Alex.

"A-Alex, are you willing to 'play' with that amount."

Regis asked in trembling. He did not think that his friend was a wild animal. No, this is more than a wild animal, he's a pervert among whorebirds.

Seeing the strange expression Regis had, Alex was confused so he asked Regis again.

"What makes you so surprised? But whatever, I just want you to provide that much. Oh yes, if I can, I want most of the slaves you sent to be men."

This time Regis broke out in a cold sweat as well as goosebumps hearing Alex's words. He then realized, that it seemed like his conjecture years ago was indeed true. Alex is the one who turned.

"Hm ... Alex, I know I'm not a decent person to say this to. But Alex, my friend, you have to be able to hold back. I know, maybe your slave can't satisfy you but at least don't ruin another man. Although they were only slaves, but most still had their pride as a man. They don't want to scream under another man."

For the first time Regis was like an old priest giving a lecture to a child who strayed from the path of truth. This worry was like de javu when Alex first came to the Skavian quarry and bought a small, thin and pitiful boy there.

"More, with that amount, I'm afraid the temple will definitely not remain silent" Regis continued.

"??"

Alex was confused by the direction of this friend's conversation. He could not understand at all why Regis was lecturing him and why his friend was hooking up the temple party for the slave transaction.

"And again, even if you do like men, I think you deserve better. Agh .. I mean a lot of beautiful men with great backgrounds out there who are willing to be groomed by men. So ... I think you should raise your taste" Regis said shyly.

He couldn't believe he had to say that to Alex. As a man who often 'played' with women, Regis's lectures seemed to offend himself. This was the most hypocritical speech Regis had spoken in his life.

*punch!

But before Regis could see Alex's expression after hearing his lecture, a bogem equivalent to steel strength had just floated on Regis' head.

"Ughhh!"

Regis hissed in pain while touching his bumpy head.

"Don't think strangely. I just want to buy a slave instead of a slave like you think," Alex said seriously.

"Ah, so it's like that" said Regis, who was still enduring the pain in his head.

"Yes, this is for my area. How could I possibly expand my area with a population that dropped to 70% without using slaves?"

"Oh, right, I get it. Sorry for saying no" Regis said.

This time Regis smiled shyly because he had just thought of a no-no to his friend.

Jesus Regis, your brain is too perverted. I'd better cut down on 'scars' from now on, Regis thought.

After all these misunderstandings were resolved, they went back to discussing the purchase of slaves in large quantities. In addition, Alex also emphasized that the slave he wanted was a man who was still of productive age. It means Alex doesn't want the boy too young or too old.

It was very simple. The reason why Alex chose a healthy and productive male slave was not without reason. Later they will be employed in labor-intensive industries such as port, agriculture, and trade. This means that the slaves will work as manual laborers who are in charge of transporting goods or as garden slaves. Clearly it required healthy slaves and male slaves were much more suitable to use than female slaves for such a job.

Alex did not want to hear if there would be a slave who died because he was too tired to work. After all, the children were bought with money. He was not willing to lose, so he preferred to buy a healthy slave although it might cost a bit more than a slave of the same category.
