early morning. .
Astapor.
Inside the Desire Time Tavern.
When Morgan woke up from his sleep.
It was already bright outside the window.
From King's Landing in Westeros to Astapor on the continent of Essos.
It took more than four months and spanned two continents.
Two free trade cities, three slave cities...
Such a long and distant journey is something that most people in this world will never experience in their lifetime.
Morgan did have a good time relaxing today.
I slept until daybreak.
Golden sunlight shines through the half-open window.
Make the whole room bright and warm.
Morgan opened his eyes, and the little slave girl Aphra next to him looked exhausted and contented and was sleeping deeply.
I struggled with Aphra all night last night.
Morgan had no intention of waking her up.
Then he looked at the little baby dragon Sigria who was curled up in a delicate blanket and sleeping soundly in the corner.
The little guy was also sleeping soundly with his arms stretched out.
Morgan stood up slightly, got out of bed naked, and stretched.
I walked to the window, looked at the busy and noisy early morning street not far below, and took a few long breaths.
Desire Time Tavern is located in the most central neighborhood of Astapor.
You can't see the sea from here.
Maybe I should choose a hotel near the seaside to stay yesterday.
It seems that I can change it today.
No, I will be very busy today.
Last night I asked the bartender to send news to several of the most important slave owners in Astapor.
If nothing unexpected happens.
The other party should react after knowing his identity.
The title of "Triple Crown" of the tournament is very famous in Westeros.
But this is not the case in Essos.
Because that kind of activity is not popular here.
But Morgan isn't worried.
The three large cities on the coast of Slaver's Bay were all controlled by slave owners.
Astapor is no exception.
He can train and control warrior slave masters who are famous throughout the world like "The Unsullied".
Naturally, they are the biggest ones in Astapor.
They are also the actual controllers of the entire city.
To say that they don't understand the big news in King's Landing in Westeros.
Morgan definitely didn't believe it.
The higher the position, the more important the person is, the more they understand the importance of news.
They may not care about Morgan's "Triple Crown" title.
But there is another thing that Morgan has that they will care about very much.
That is the vast amount of wealth Morgan possesses: a total of 80,000 gold dragon coins.
Even the largest slave owner in Astapor couldn't help but be tempted by such a sky-high wealth.
As for the number of 80,000 Golden Dragon Coins, whether Morgan can carry them with him.
The slave owners were completely unfazed.
Because Astapo also has a branch of the "Iron Bank", a large bank whose reputation has spread throughout the world.
Therefore, the slave owner had no doubt whether Morgan could produce the Golden Dragon Coin.
So.
Morgan sent word of his visit on the first day he arrived in Astapor.
Even if several big slave owners don't care about Morgan's Triple Crown title, they will definitely respect Morgan's wealth.
After all, the concept of "customer is God" is not limited to previous lives.
The same prevails in this world.
Of course, there is no God in this world.
Finish washing with the prepared water.
Morgan had just put on his clothes.
"Master, don't leave..."
"Don't abandon Aphra..."
The little slave girl's urgent voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room.
Morgan turned around and saw Aphra suddenly sitting up from the bed, looking anxious.
Aphra, who woke up from her dream, looked at her master's gaze and immediately understood that she was having a nightmare. Her face was slightly red, but she was not embarrassed.
She had merged with her master several times, and her posture and personality had changed a lot compared to the frightened bird she had been in Pantos.
Just then, a strange scream sounded from the corner.
Morgan turned his head again.
I saw the little baby dragon Siglia closing her eyes and shaking her head, swishing her tail, and seemed to be stretching as well.
Apparently, Aphra not only woke herself up, but also woke up the young dragon.
"We're all awake, so get up. There's a lot going on today..."
Morgan said and opened the door and went out to order breakfast.
Siglia saw her old father going out and wanted to follow him.
Aphra, who was getting up to wash up, quickly stopped it.
There is no doubt about the preciousness of young dragons.
Although Morgan is not afraid of exposing the existence of the young dragon, he should avoid it if he can.
Because you never know when a greedy guy will come and steal the baby dragon.
As long as Siglia is exposed, this kind of thief will definitely appear.
Stopped by Aphra.
The little Siglia was a little unhappy.
But his father had already told him this, so the little guy had no choice but to scream and express his dissatisfaction by expressing his hunger.
He looked at the little dragon flying up to the dining table in the room, swinging its big tail and opening its mouth and shaking its head.
Aphra, who was washing up, couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, the adults have already ordered breakfast. You will have a delicious breakfast soon."
The words fell.
The little baby dragon Siglia still went her own way and stood on the dining table and screamed strangely.
Aphra also ignored the little guy and concentrated on washing.
For her, as Siglia grew up rapidly, her character became more and more naughty and her temper seemed to become worse and worse.
The little guy would listen to her before.
But now, Siglia almost only listens to her master's words.
No matter how much she tries to please the little guy.
It didn't take long.
The door to the room was knocked again.
Aphra immediately turned her head to look at Siglia at the dining table.
The little guy who had heard the noise could only flap his wings and fly to the corner behind the door no matter how dissatisfied he was.
Because this is what my father told me.
"who?"
After watching Siglia fly back to the corner, Aphra looked towards the door and asked.
"it's me..."
Morgan's voice sounded.
Aphra looked happy and immediately stepped forward and opened the door.
Standing in front of the door was not only Morgan, but also two tavern maids carrying large dinner plates behind him.
Looking at two maids with very cool clothes, one with big breasts and the other with a very perky butt.
Aphra muttered in her mind and moved out of the way.
The two maids left quickly.
Morgan sat at the dining table.
His mind immediately recalled what the bartender had told him when he was at the bar below.
And, a light yellow delicate invitation letter placed on the table.
"Krazny, the largest slave owner in Astapor, expressed his welcome to Morgan and invited Morgan to be a guest in the castle where he lives..."
After breakfast.
Morgan carried a large cage covered with black cloth and led Aphra out of the tavern.
He took the reins from the tavern groom.
He looked at the two horses pulling the clean and refined carriage and obviously feeling much energetic.
Morgan got into the driver's seat.
The invitation of the big slave owner "Krazny" must be accepted.
But in this world, when faced with an invitation from someone else, if the other person doesn’t specify a specific time and place.
So the best time to make an appointment is in the evening.
Astapor is no exception.
So Morgan planned to go to the Great Slaveholder's Castle in the evening to answer the appointment.
As for now.
He needs to take a good tour of the entire Astapor and learn about Astapor.
Because next, this city will belong to him.
Morgan's own Astapor.
It’s early spring, the season of hope.
Although it is a bit harsh to mention the season of hope in a slave city.
But come to Astapor.
There are several iconic places that must be visited.
There are several representative large squares such as "Pride Square", "Punishment Square" and "Colosseum".
Morgan will definitely have to take a turn.
The sunshine in Astapor is equally warm in spring.
Along the coastal road, looking at the endless deep blue sea, listening to the rising and falling waves not far away, I was afraid of the sound of waves hitting the coast.
The big plan Morgan was thinking about was meticulous and solemn, and the already tight bowstring could not help but relax slightly.
His next plan: contact the big slave owner, propose to buy Unsullied warriors, all Unsullied warriors, and then use the Unsullied army to counter-kill the slave owners, and finally control the entire Astapor.
The whole plan was the same as in the plot in his mind, when Daenerys Targaryen robbed Astapor with "empty gloves".
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Morgan plans to be like Daenerys Targaryen.
However, the reason why the other party was able to get several slave owners to agree to the deal was because Daenerys owned three young dragons and could use the dragons as collateral.
The same can be said for Morgan.
Because even if he had a huge sum of more than 80,000 gold dragon coins, he couldn't afford all the "Unsullied" warriors.
Because it's too expensive.
Said before.
He had made a lot of preparations in advance for coming to Astapor, and yesterday he used tips to get a lot of information from the bartender.
So we know the price of the Unsullied Warrior.
An Unsullied warrior is worth 30 gold coins, which is extremely expensive.
Moreover, these Unsullied warriors are not just for sale.
The minimum purchase quantity is one hundred or more.
An army of one hundred Unsullied warriors is worth 3,000 gold coins.
At such an expensive price, ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
Compared with the mercenaries that can be seen in every city.
The price of each Unsullied warrior is too high.
If three thousand gold coins were used to hire mercenaries and knights, the number of mercenaries that could be recruited would far exceed the number of one hundred people.
But the unsullied are expensive.
But after undergoing the most intense training, every Unsullied warrior is definitely the most combat-effective combat unit in the entire world. They are physically strong and determined, and they don't know what fear is...
The most important thing is their unconditional obedience to their master's orders!
This is why the Unsullied are so expensive, buyers still flock to them, and their reputation spreads throughout the world.
The most famous battle that the Unsullied warriors participated in was the Battle of Qohor that took place many years ago. Only three thousand Unsullied warriors resisted the attack of more than 50,000 elite Dothraki soldiers led by Khal Temok.
After this battle, the reputation of "The Unsullied" became even more famous.
But no matter how expensive the Unsullied one is.
Morgan has to buy it too.
Back to business.
The plan to purchase the Unsullied and occupy Astapor was easy said.
But actually doing it is far from that simple.
Taking over an entire city is definitely more difficult and troublesome than what Morgan remembered when Daenerys Targaryen took over Astapor.
But no matter how difficult it is.
Morgan also has to go head-on.
Otherwise, given the slow and difficult progress of his system exploration, he would have no choice but to live his whole life in this world.
"Crunch, crunch..."
The carriage drove at a constant speed on the coastal road.
Twenty minutes later.
Morgan came to the Punishment Square located inside the main gate of Astapor.
Punishment Square: This is where new slaves are brought into the city, and where slaves who committed crimes or rebelled were punished or executed.
To put it simply, this is the place where slave owners executed slaves, and it can also be regarded as a slaughterhouse.
A large number of stone piles were erected on the edge of the wide open square, and many of them had slaves in tattered clothes and covered in blood tied to them.
All of these slaves who were tied to stone piles had been sentenced to death by the slave owners behind them.
Being tied to a stone pile is waiting to die, being blown by the cold wind in the middle of the night, being exposed to the sun, and being pecked by vultures and scavenging birds...
Now in the square.
Except for the slaves who were tied to stone piles to die or who were already dead.
There were more slaves, both male and female, kneeling in the square.
Standing in front of them was one or several rich men or nobles wearing the "Tokar", the symbol of nobility, reprimanding something.
[Toca robe: It is a long, loose and trailing cloth sheet worn by nobles and wealthy people in all cities along the coast of Slaver's Bay. To wear it, it must be wrapped around the hips, tucked under the armpits and around the shoulders. It is worn like this to show off the hanging tassels, which are usually decorated with some decoration. 】
Looking at the slaves waiting to die around the square, and the scenes of more slaves being punished.
Morgan's face was calm, without any trace of sadness or joy.
Aphra was sitting in the carriage, looking at everything in the square through the large window, but there was deep fear and joy in her eyes.
I didn’t stay in Punishment Square for long.
Morgan then drove to his next destination.
When the light group in the sky moves to the top of the sky above the head.
Morgan arrives at the third location: Pride Plaza.
Pride Square: This is where slave owners in the city display their slaves to their customers.
So in this square.
Morgan saw many slaves of all kinds.
There are strong male slaves who are trained as warriors and fully armed.
There are also a large number of female slaves who are thinly dressed and have beautiful figures and looks.
There are even a large number of underage slaves.
This also really opened Morgan's eyes, compared with the pride square in Astapor in front of him.
The slave trading markets he had seen in the Free Trade City of Pentos or Norvos before were completely insignificant.
Leave Pride Square.
Morgan soon came to another well-known location not far away: the Colosseum.
Although it is also a place for entertainment activities.
But the arena in Astapor, the three major slave cities, is obviously different from the arenas in other cities.
Because the competitions held here are so "special".
For example: having slave girls duel with bulls;
Let a group of slave children covered in honey or other things duel with a hungry giant bear, and then make bets on which child the bear will eat first... and many other very "different" entertainment competitions.
When leaving the arena.
Morgan looked a little silent. He finally understood the true meaning of the term "Slave City".
That day the light group sank in the sky.
The sunset glow as red as blood shines on the horizon.
As evening approaches.
Morgan took Aphra's baby dragon Siglia to answer the appointment.
Half an hour later.
The carriage stopped in front of a huge castle.
As soon as Morgan got out of the car, he saw several tall Unsullied warriors wearing black armor standing guard on both sides of the castle.
In front of the castle gate guarded by Unsullied warriors.
Several big slave owners wearing light yellow toka robes were waiting there with smiles.
