In fact, Theresa doesn't care. After all, there are too many businesses in Pirates and Snake Cult, which is not a big deal.

Link didn't expect that he would scare the crew if he asked casually.

“What are these prices?”

He pointed to the mountain people in the fence and bought and sold people as goods, which made him feel indescribable.

"Sir, one of these mountain people's adult 10 silver snake coins is enough for a younger one."

Link looked at the mountain boy who was only half as tall as himself in the fence, "Do you call this young?"

The tall and thin man smiled awkwardly: "There is no way, it can't be sold alone. The price is already very fair."

Indeed, in Link's view, these adult soldiers who can compete with the Snake Cult that ravaged the Old Continent only have 10 silver snake coins.

"Is that all?"

Link looked at the less than twenty mountain people in the fence and asked the tall and thin man that his goal for this trip would be to recruit at least one or two hundred adult soldiers.

“That depends on how much you prepared?”

The tall and thin man rubbed his hands, and it seemed that there was a big business in front of him.

Following the tall and thin man, he came to the warehouse at the port wharf. After he unbuttoned the warehouse lock and opened the cabin door, a dark figure appeared inside.

“There are about one hundred people in a warehouse here, and there are five warehouses in total.

Sir, how much do you need?"

Link was thinking, when Teresa, who was sharp-eyed, suddenly discovered something: "Why are there many women and children inside?"

Link looked in the direction she pointed, and it turned out that the light was dim at the beginning and it was not clear. After the hatch door was completely opened, he found that there were many tall and thin men inside who had not introduced them.

"Ahem, please rest assured. There are definitely no less than 200 adult mountain men in the five warehouses, and women and children only account for a small part.

These mountain people are from the same village. After being swept away by the Snake Cult, they refused to submit. The Snake Cult sells them to my captain for sale.

If you can buy them all, I believe it will be easy to subdue these mountain people."

The tall and thin man also knew that the ingredients of his "goods" were complicated and racked his brains to promote it.

"Gather them together, I'm going to ask."

The customer is God. The tall and thin man quickly opened the doors of several warehouses and drove the mountain people to gather in the Pier Square.

Looking at the dark figures in the square in front of me, I stared at myself quietly and solemnly, as if I knew that the person in front of me would determine their next fate.

Link asked loudly to the crowd in front of him: "Who can represent you?"

When he heard that the mountain people here all came from the same village, he knew that these people must have a leading position.

Sure enough, not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with messy curly hair and unhealed scars on his face appeared.

"I am Link. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be your commander today."

Link was somewhat resistant to words like "slave, master".

"What do you call you?"

Link asked the young man with a Chinese face in front of him.

"Just call me Frank, I'm the village chief they elected."

"Do you have any demands?"

Link looked at Frank, who was determined in front of him and covered with man's scars, and what he remembered in his mind was Bai Ge's evaluation of the people of Rodok: bravery, persistence, and stubbornness to be sure of his mistakes and never give up.

It seems not easy to conquer.

"Let me tell you what I think first."

Link started to speak before Frank answered:

"I personally resist the way slave owners get along with slaves. I'm not afraid to tell you, because I think that a free man becomes a slave, his subjective initiative will become very poor, and his production and combat efficiency will become low."

Link continued, regardless of whether Frank and the people around him understood or not, and continued:

"So I decided to replace your slave contract with an employment contract, and after working for me for five years, you can regain your free person status!"

Link originally wanted to say it for three years, because in his opinion, he might have a war with the Duke next year. If he couldn't survive it, everything would be a passing cloud.

So he thought to let these mountain people accept him as soon as possible, but three years were too short, and these mountain people might think they were cheating on them, so he signed up for a five-year agreement.

After hearing this, Frank seemed to have a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart. Nowadays, will anyone be so kind? He spent dozens of golden snake coins just to hire these mountain villagers to work for five years?

"I will notarize this matter at the Pirates Conference. This lady is an important member of the Sverak family of the Pirates Conference. She can testify on this matter."

After saying that, Link turned to introduce Theresa.

Theresa was slightly stunned and quickly got into the role: "Yes, we will notarize Mr. Link's decision and have a guarantee of pirate law in all major seas."

Link gave a look of praise after seeing Teresa's performance.

Looking back at Frank who was still thinking: "By the way, there may be war in the next five years. If you are concerned about this, I can understand it, after all..."

"The Rodocs have never been afraid of war! We are still fighting the Snake Cult, and none of the mountain people are cowards!"

Unexpectedly, Link's words stimulated Frank and the surrounding mountain people, and seemed to be angry that Link speculated that they were afraid of fighting.

"There is only one requirement, you have to buy all of us! The mountain people have to survive together."

This is the most important condition in Frank's heart. He was defeated in the battle with the Snake Cult, and his tribe members were not massacred, but sold to a nobleman. This may be a blessing in disgrace.

Frank now only wants to protect his tribesmen to survive together, with his family, friends, and people who trust him. He has the responsibilities he must bear as a husband, brother, and son.

After hearing this, Link agreed and waved to the tall and thin man to trade.

I only bought all thirty golden snake coins, and it was just a drizzle for Link now.

There is also a large enough place on Miluo Island to accommodate Frank's tribesmen. Not to mention 500 people, it would be fine even if it was ten times more.

He took the golden snake coins borrowed from Teresa and made a deal with the tall and thin man. The tall and thin man didn't expect to meet such a refreshing customer, and it would be no trouble if he didn't bargain.

In addition to taking the initiative to replace the slave contract with an employment contract, the tall and thin man felt that Link was a little stupid, but what does this have to do with him?

The happy tall and thin manly ruled the man who said that Link had too much money and had no place to spend it, he completed the contract handover with Link at the fastest speed in his life.

After saying goodbye to the tall and thin man, Link picked up the slave contract and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The last time he saw this kind of slave contract was in the study of the old housekeeper in the arena. In just a few weeks, he had already mastered the fate of so many people.

"Miss Teresa, please trouble you."

Looking at the stack of contracts handed over by Link, Theresa was a little stunned: "You are...."

She thought Link's previous statement was a show and was painting cakes for the mountain people, but she didn't expect that he would come to the real thing.
