Under the stimulation of the green trees, the incomparably huge merchant group immediately sped up their pace and rushed towards the forest.
During this time, the Red Earth Wasteland stretched as far as the eye could see.
The green woods, as if an oasis had appeared in people's minds, nourished their minds and gave their taut nerves a trace of moisture.
It was already lunchtime. Wisps of smoke rose from the green woods.
The slaves working in the woods began to gather together to have their meals.
"Heavens, white bread!
These lowly slaves are eating white bread and potato soup!! "
"Damn it, these lowly slaves, how can they eat white bread!
Aren't, aren't they eating better than me, Lord Bayi?
Is there any justice in this? "
"White bread!!
What a waste!!
It's such a waste to give these slaves white bread!
Master Ian, it's such a waste!! "
"…"
When the leaders of the slave caravans broke into the woods, they were attracted by the fragrance and went to the place where the slaves were having their meals. When they saw the slaves eating white bread, the eyes of many leaders of the slave caravans turned bloodshot and they screamed bitterly.
On the Feisuo Plane, the staple food of the middle- and lower-class commoners and slaves was the extremely coarse, hard as wood, and needed to be soaked in water to be able to be eaten.
As for the fragrant, soft white bread made from finely ground flour, only wealthy merchants and aristocrats could afford to eat it.
Some abject aristocrats even had to yield to reality and eat black bread with their families.
There were a lot of misers among the leaders of slave caravans. Some leaders of small caravans ate black bread every day.
Now that they saw Yang Feng's slaves gnawing on white bread, their eyes at once became bloodshot.
When the guards of the slave caravans saw the slaves eating white bread, their eyes couldn't help but turn bloodshot as well.
The guards of the slave caravans basically ate black bread and drank water.
Now that the slaves were eating better than them, it naturally made them feel very unbalanced.
Jim stared at the white bread, then looked at the Miracle City in the distance, and his eyes flickered with endless greed: "Master Ian is so rich, even the slaves can eat white bread.
What if I take people and seize the city?
I have three thousand people in my hands, and he only has a few hundred slaves. Even if it's a battle of attrition, I can use up all of his spell slots!
Seize this city and offer it to His Majesty the Emperor. Who knows, I, Jim, might be able to become a noble lord!! "
Basically, none of the Rydgex slave traders were good people.
When they were in Rydgex City, they could barely be considered law-abiding.
But once they left Rydgex City and came to the unrestrained wilderness, they became the most terrifying Vicious Beasts.
Every year, many small slave caravans would disappear into the wilderness without a trace.
For Jim to have such great power in Rydgex City, it was unknown how many small slave caravans he had swallowed up.
"Jim, keep your men quiet!"
Clive walked out of the forest with 400 fully armed warriors. He frowned slightly and berated Jim.
Jim looked at the awe-inspiring, spirited, and powerful Clive. His gaze fell on Clive's fingers, and his pupils constricted. The redness in his eyes faded, and he smiled amiably. "Haha, Clive, I'm so happy to see you.
It seems that your body has been completely healed by Master Ian.
Master Ian, you're really amazing! "
"That's right. Two hundred of my brothers and I have recovered our full strength under Master Ian's treatment!
Not long ago, a group of more than two thousand Wolf Riders came to ambush us. In the end, Great Wizard Ian single-handedly killed a thousand Wolf Riders. If they hadn't run away fast enough, I'm afraid that all the Wolf Riders would have died here.
Their corpses are hanging over there. Do you want to take a look? "
Clive operated a secret method, and a terrifying Sky Knight rank qi erupted in an instant. The powerful aura oppressed Jim to the point that he couldn't breathe. He looked at Jim with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Clive knew better than anyone what kind of people those slave traders were.
If you were stronger than the slave traders, and offered them enough benefits, then you would be able to do it.
Then, they would be your most loyal dogs.
But once you showed a trace of weakness, they would turn into a pack of jackals and pounce on you.
Jim's pupils shrank slightly. He showed a gratified smile and said shamelessly: "Haha!
Amazing!
Master Ian is really amazing!
Clive, you have to thank me.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met such a good person like Master Ian.
Moreover, I didn't mistreat you and your brothers when you were with me! "
Clive and the two hundred soldiers of the Iman Principality were valuable goods. Jim naturally didn't mistreat them.
If they were raised to look haggard, sallow, and emaciated, those noble ladies wouldn't like it.
Clive said with a faint smile: "I really should thank you for that.
But now, take your men into the city! "
Jim said without batting an eyelid, "Alright!
By the way, do all the slaves here eat white bread?
That's too extravagant! "
Clive said: "Not really!"
Jim breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that a mere slave could eat almost as much as a big merchant like him made him feel a little unbalanced!
Clive said: "Only the slaves who work hard can eat white bread.
Those who are lazy can only go to another place to eat black bread and water. "
Jim's face twitched slightly.
The expressions of the leaders of the merchant groups that surrounded them didn't look good.
Their living standards were only the same as those of the hard-working slaves in the Miracle City.
The faces of some of the leaders of the small merchant groups were even darker.
They basically ate black bread every day, and only ate white bread on holidays.
Their lives were simply worse than that of slaves.
Of course, that was also because they were too stingy.
The guards of the merchant group all had dark expressions on their faces as they considered the possibility of jumping ship.
The slaves, on the other hand, all revealed expressions of anticipation.
Jim asked curiously: "Isn't the Miracle City short of food?
If we feed the slaves white bread like this, will the food be able to last? "
The leaders of the slave merchant groups also pricked up their ears.
In particular, the merchants who transported the food were extremely nervous. As if awaiting trial, they waited for Clive's answer.
Clive replied proudly: "The great Master Ian cast a spell to purify part of the Red Earth Wasteland.
Now, the land can be used to plant breadfruit improved by him.
The breadfruit trees can be harvested three times a year, and each season, 5,000 catties of breadfruit (non-bread flour) can be harvested from 1 mu of land.
Furthermore, the land planted with breadfruit trees can also be mixed with some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other crops. From now on, the Miracle City can be completely self-sufficient in food! "
The leaders of the slave merchant groups inhaled a breath of cold air, and their eyes flashed with astonishment.
The merchants who transported the food had sullen expressions on their faces, and were so depressed that they almost wanted to cry.
Jim's eyes turned, and he said with a smile: "Can I buy some breadfruit tree seeds?
I can buy them at a high price! "
As a merchant with a keen sense of smell, Jim perceived the great strategic value of the breadfruit tree seeds at once.
Once breadfruit trees were popularized, it would have a huge impact on the entire Feisuo Plane.
Clive said with a smile: "I'm sorry, but I'm not in charge of these things.
You can go discuss it with Lina or Master Ian. "
Under the escort of four hundred warriors commanded by Clive, the huge slave caravan directly entered the Miracle City.
As soon as he entered the Miracle City, Jim saw the wide and orderly streets of the Miracle City. On both sides of the streets, there were trees giving shade, and there were many exquisite buildings.
The streets were paved with a layer of cement. People came and went, yet there was not a trace of garbage or excrement of humans and animals.
The whole city looked neat, clean, and beautiful.
Jim sighed from the bottom of his heart. "What a beautiful city!
Master Ian is really amazing. Not only does he have formidable magic strength, but he is also a master in designing cities.
I think the imperial capital can't compare to the Miracle City in many aspects. "
Randy looked around and sighed: "It really can't be compared!
I've been to the imperial capital before. Apart from the aristocratic district and the imperial city district, the rest of the districts are covered in dust and excrement of livestock and humans.
When it rains, you can't go outside without wearing rain boots.
This is the city where the upper-class people should live! "
The leaders of the huge slave merchant group were Jim and Randy, the two most powerful slave merchants in the Rydgex City.
"That's a lake!!
I'm not mistaken, right?!
That's a lake!! "Suddenly, Jim's eyes flickered, and he pointed into the distance and said in a trembling voice.
"A lake!!
My God!
That's really a lake!! "
"How is that possible?
How could there be a lake in the Red Earth Wasteland!! "
"…"
The merchant leaders also looked in the direction that Jim's slightly fat and short finger was pointing at, and their eyes were filled with astonishment.
After the war of gods, due to the contamination of divine blood, it was difficult for plants to grow in the Red Earth Wasteland.
The climate also slowly changed. The water vapor was thin, and there were only a few times a year when it rained.
It was impossible for there to be a lake in the entire Red Earth Wasteland.
Even if a lake was artificially made, due to the arid climate, the water vapor would evaporate and eventually turn into a dry dead lake.
But now, there was a huge lake in the Miracle City, which was simply heaven-defying.
