The Lord Is Addicted In Infrastructure [Book Wear]

Chapter 5: A Gold Coin

The crowd of onlookers dispersed after the knight drove them away.

Nate Case said, "You have to know that two gold coins is the lowest price I can give, I bought him from Gaynor for fifteen gold coins."

"He used to be a brave knight commander, now he's definitely the most expensive slave."

On the Western Continent, slaves are the cheapest people, the price ranges from seventy copper coins to five silver coins. Sometimes they can even exchange food or things in exchange for slaves.

Picking slaves is like picking goods.

In addition to whether the slave is healthy and whether his limbs are intact, what is more demanding is his appearance, knowledge, skills, and so on.

Xia Zuoyi, "Fifteen gold coins is really expensive. Why is he worth that price?"

Nate Case, "Before killing the Lord's brother, he has achieved enough achievements to become a Baron."

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help looking at the man who is still kneeling on the ground.

The man slightly lowered his eyes, covered with blood, and had no reaction to the conversation between them. If it weren't for his chest still slowly rising and falling, he's like a dead man without a sound.

Why did he kill someone before he became a baron?

Nate Case tutted, "He's a rare slave."

Xia Zuoyi, "Then you're going to kill him?"

"He disrespectfully rebuked me!(1)"

Nate Case proudly raised his head, "The dignity of a noble is not to be offended. A single strand of my hair costs more than 15 gold coins."

"So do you usually pay with hair?"

Xia Zuoyi's small mouth opened slightly, with a "Wow—learned" expression on his face.

He said while grabbing his hair, "I'm the earl and my strands of hair must be more valuable. I will give you one, you can keep the change."

"..."

Seeing that he really wanted to pull out a hair.

Nate Case hastily said, "No...it's just an exaggerated metaphor, do you understand metaphor?"

Xia Zuoyi blinked innocently and nodded, indicating that he understood.

He said, "Brother, two gold coins are still a bit expensive. After all, he was injured, what if he died because of bad treatment?"

"Make it cheaper."

"...One gold coin, the lowest price."

"Okay."

Xia Zuoyi simply and neatly agreed.

Pay the money with one hand and hand over the "goods" with the other.

After Xia Zuoyi left with the "goods".

Nate Case heaved a sigh of relief for no reason, "It's finally sold... Wait, why do I have to do this transaction?!"

And it's a loss-making business that makes him lower the price again and again?!

He can obviously refuse!

When Xia Zuoyi returned to his temporary residence, he asked Udit to find a doctor.

The doctor thought he was going to treat the earl, but he didn't expect to let him treat a slave. He couldn't help showing his disgust, "Lord earl, the lives of slaves are so cheap, they're usually just left to fend for themselves. It's not worth wasting money for them..."
