In less than a moment, Woolley saw Hola's 'new goods', a total of four slaves, two men and one woman, and a little boy about two years old.

Woolley frowned and asked, "Hola, is this all you have on hand?" "

Yes, Young Master Woolley, I have more vision than other slave traders, so naturally I only choose the good dealers." As soon as Hola finished speaking, she turned around, changed her face, and the whip in her hand bluffed towards the four slaves, and scolded viciously, "Get up, you lazy people! Don't you see Young Master Wu Lai coming, quick, you, and you, show Young Master Wu Lai your muscles, and you, throw away your little wild seed and stand up, let Young Master Wu Lai see if your teeth are neat, yes, open your mouth, twist it again, and tell Young Master Wu Lai that your waist is the most powerful, hurry up! or I will whip you with a whip!"

"Alright, Haura. Woolley's gaze swept over the three adult slaves again, and then, his gaze fell on the little slave who was trembling with his around the slave girl's calf with a frightened face, and when he caught a glimpse of the little slave's thin body and thin ragged clothes, Woolley's heart suddenly tightened, and his nose suddenly became a little sore.

Seeing Woolley staring at the little slave, Hola smiled and introduced: "This little wild seed is her son, if Young Master Woolley likes it, no matter which slave you buy, I will give him to you." "

No, it won't work!" objected the good-looking female slave loudly, crouching down and hugging the little slave.

"It's up to you!" Hola glared at the female slave, "You are a slave, your life and death are in the hands of nobles like Master Woolley, and so is your little wild seed." "

Hora. Woolley frowned again, "Tell me their prices." "

Great, Master Woolley. Hora immediately became happy, and with a whip in her bosom, she pulled the young slave who looked to be sixteen years old at most.

"He's smart, he can make bread, he can do farm work, he can read simple words, and the price is very cheap, eighty silver coins. Hara's finger moved to another male slave, "Young Master Woolley, please look at the muscles on his body, he is only twenty years old, healthy and powerful, and his personality is as docile as a kitten, he can lift three hundred pounds of stones, and he can also carry two wheat-chests on his back to walk a long mountain road, and his price is also ninety-five silver coins, as for this female slave, her price is a little higher, she is young and beautiful, even if she gives birth to a small wild seed, her lower abdomen, waist, Her thighs are still wild, she can do all the housework, sew clothes, and warm your bed at night, so her price is one hundred and eighty silver coins, this price is actually not expensive Young Master Wu Lai, you see, her son is already three years old, buy her, her son will be yours for free, Young Master Wu Lai, you only need to give him a little bread and bread bread that you can't eat enough to raise him for three or four years, and he can work for you, Young Master Wu Lai, what do you think

of the price?". "Hera, you can really speak well, three good-for-nothing slaves can be said like this, don't try to fool me, I didn't say it, I just walked around. Woolley smiled and turned to leave.

"Young Master Wu Lai, Young Master Wu Lai. Hola hurriedly blocked Wu Lai's way, "Young Master Wu Lai, you can do it, you see that it will be the New Year in a few days, and these slaves are also my last trip to buy and sell this year, this day is freezing, you can buy one."

"You're too expensive for me to buy. Woolley strides.

"Then please try to make a price for Young Master Wu Lai, I am very eager to be able to contribute to Young Master Wu Lai again. Hara nodded and said, causing the slave traders to laugh.

"Four gold coins, that's all there is to it. Woolley said very seriously, he didn't plan to let Hola earn too much, four gold coins equaled two hundred and forty silver coins, which was very appropriate.

Hara showed an embarrassed expression on her face: "Young Master Wu Lai, you are really an expert, this price is exactly the price I paid when I bought them, you see that I have been feeding them for several days, and they have been sold all the way, Young Master Wu Lai, you can reward a little more." Although he said so, he was secretly happy in his heart, he sold these three slaves very cheaply, and the price offered by Wu Lai had already made him a lot, and the reason why he opened his mouth to ask for more was to cover up his "purchase" price, and secondly, he wanted to sell his favor to Wu Lai later.

Woolley shook his head firmly, turned around, and took a different step.

"Just listen to you, Young Master Wu Lai, you take all four gold coins. Hola hurriedly stopped Wu Lai, "Who made me feel that Young Master Wu Lai is very close, you can take care of it more in the future."

"That's pretty much it. Wu Lai smiled and took out the money bag, but sighed secretly in his heart, looking at this, the price is really high.

"Thank you, Master Woolley. Hara smiled as she took the coin, "You're lucky, none of them have slave marks yet, you can brand your family crest on them, so that wherever they flee, the civil officer will send them back for you." "

That's enough, that's it for now, remember Hora, I wasn't going to buy a slave today. With that, Woolley pushed Hola away and walked over to the four slaves, and asked, "Do you have names?"

"My name is Lei Gang. The stout male slave replied.

"My name is Janus. The young slave replied timidly.

"Dear master, my name is Hibo, and my son's name is Hie. The slave girl replied with a bow.

Woolley nodded, glanced at Lei Gang and Janus, turned to Hora and said, "Hora, reward them both with a few whips for me."

"I'd love to serve you, Master Woolley. With a huff of his waist, the leather whip in his hand had already rolled towards Lei Gang and Janus with a sharp whistling sound, and Hibo hurriedly hid aside with Xi'e in his arms.

"Do you know why you two were beaten, because you dare not call Master Woolley your master!" Haura's whip fell the two slaves.

It's docile. When Woolley noticed the reaction of the two slaves when they were whipped, he commented in his heart, and then, he stopped Hara's continuation, the more than ten years in this world had already made him accept and adapt to the class order of the slave era, not to mention, in order to achieve his goal, the people under his command had to be obedient, this is a universal truth.

After leaving the slave market, Woolley led the four slaves from shop to shop, buying some coarse cloth, leather, and large rolls of oiled twine, and some cheese, until he had spent all the silver coins he had left in his purse.

"I don't really want to buy yours. Woolley said to the four slaves as he walked, "But since I have bought you, then I have the right to make any reasonable demands on you, or I will be punished, but if your work satisfies me, I will not mind being ......generous to you"

The three adult slaves listened attentively, nodding their heads as they listened, and Xi'e, who was held in Hippo's arms, was already asleep.

After a few more moments, Nepton, who was busy in the fence in front of the mill, looked up in surprise.

"Old Nepton, who doesn't need that expression. Woolley smiled and said, "Didn't you always say that you couldn't be busy, oh, I just bought a few, this one is called Lei Gang, this one is called Yanus, they are all here to help you, her name is Hibo, and in her arms is her son Xi'e, they will be in charge of housework in the future, and you have to remind Caesar to pay attention, in the future, in the White Stone Building, you can no longer walk around naked."

""Good hosts. Nepton nodded with a smile, and looked at Lei Gang and the four of them a few times, his face turned flat, and his voice doubled, "Lei Gang, Janus, what are you two still doing in a daze? Is the master buying you to spoil the grain?"

Lei Gang and Janus hurriedly put down the cloth and other items they were carrying on their backs and ran up to help carry the flour bag, Woolley nodded at Neptune with a smile, sat down on the chair in the pergola, pointed to the cloth and wool on the ground and said to Hibo who followed: "Hibo, these are the tasks you must complete as soon as possible, make jackets with fur collars for you and Xie, Nepton, Caesar, Lei Gang and Yanus, especially Xie, you can make him one more set, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Hippo's heart immediately warmed, and he suddenly felt that Woolley's image was much taller—when Lei Gang and Janus were whipped by Hora, her perception of Woolley was not like this.

"Pack up your things. Woolley glanced at Hippo's feet, where they were supposed to be shoeed, and where two old pieces of rough leather were tied together with a few thick twines, revealing a dark red and even a little purple skin in the parts that were not covered by the skin.

"Ugh......" Woolley sighed.

With the addition of Lei Gang, Janus, and Hippo in the White Rock Building, Nepton doesn't have to be as busy as before. Hippo did the laundry, cooking, and cleaning of the house, and she was undoubtedly much better than Nepton in these respects, and when she was done with the housework, she took Shee to sit in front of the fireplace and sew the jacket, and her needlework was fast and good, and the jackets worn by the slaves were indeed not complicated, so within a few days, the slaves in the White Rock House were all dressed in new clothes.

Janus became Nepton's helper in operating the stone mill, because Nepton felt that Lei Gang was a good material for hard work, and the operation of the stone mill naturally made it more suitable for Janus, who had a better brain, so Lei Gang became a partner with Caesar.

Four days before the New Year, Gauguin came to the mill and handed a bronze emblem to Woolley: "Young Master Woolley, the priest of Pompeii has asked me to convey my gratitude to you.

Woolley nodded, taking the bronze plate from the double approval of the Archon Anthony and the Temple, and symbolizing his status as a slave owner and nobleman, and when he felt the heaviness coming from his palm, he suddenly sighed heavily.

"This can be regarded as officially joining the exploiting class. He said in a language that Gauguin could not understand.

It was night, and Woolley sat in front of the fireplace, his face solemn. Nepton crouched by the fireplace, staring at the emblem brass that was getting redder and redder in the flames, and not far behind him, Lei Gang, Janus, and Hipo standing side by side with Xi'e in his arms, his gaze constantly switching between the emblem brass and Woolley's face, Xi'e may have felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and he nestled in Hibo's arms with a bitter face and tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to make any sound.

After a short moment, Nepton picked up the copper tongs that had been placed by the fireplace.

"The hosts. Nepton shouted softly.

Woolley's heart trembled, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the emblem copper, yes, it was already burned red to the point of being suitable.

Wu Lai's gaze moved to Lei Gang, and Lei Gang quickly straightened his chest.

Woolley's gaze shifted to Janus again, and Janus subconsciously shook back, and then, biting his lip and puffing up his chest.

Immediately afterward, Woolley saw a calm, calm in Hippo's eyes, but when Woolley's gaze quickly swept over Xi'er, he frowned slightly.

After clearing his throat, Woolley spoke: "It is a tradition to brand the insignia on the slave, in order to show the rights of the master, this process is undoubtedly very painful......"

Janus lowered his head, and a trace of panic passed through Lei Gang's eyes.

"It's a cruel thing, but all the nobles are doing it, and now, I want to ask you, are you willing to accept this brand?" Woolley looked at the three again.

Lei Gang and Xibo nodded at the same time, although they had not been in the White Stone Building for a long time, they had been able to determine that this master who was still a child was definitely much gentler than the other masters, at least, he was very considerate of them, gave them enough food, gave them new clothes, shoes and a brand new, enough cold bed, and never even tortured or bullied them, the only thing that was not easy to accept was that this master asked them to wash their faces at least twice a day, take a bath once, and wash their hands before and after meals.

Janus nodded, too, but Woolley saw his hesitation and figured out why he was hesitant.

"Very well, your affirmation, I am very satisfied. Woolley nodded, looked at the flames in the fireplace for a while, and suddenly asked, "Nepton, can I do it another way

?" Neptune was stunned and asked, "Change?"

Woolley couldn't think of the word "tattoo" in this world after a while, so he had to wave at Hippo, and when Hippo squatted down next to his chair, he even talked for a while, and finally made Hippo understand.

"I should be able to, master. Hippo nodded.

Wu Lai let out a long sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Let's disperse first, and I'll get this tomorrow night." The

next night, Lei Gang and Janus had an extra tattoo on their right arm that was exactly the same as the emblem, and it was bright red, because Woolley thought it was festive. Lei Gang and Janus couldn't understand why red was festive, but they were both relieved, because the pain caused by Hippo dipping the needle in the paint on their skin was definitely much better than copper.

Unable to tattoo the emblem on her arm herself, Hippo stabbed it on the outside of her right thigh with Woolley's permission.

I don't know how, Caesar was very envious of their emblem - the size of a small cup, the edge is a hieroglyphic sentence blessed by the temple, and in the middle of the emblem, there is a pigeon with wings spread, lifelike and unique, because this emblem not only inherits the image of the pigeon family of Glyndo, but also changes the opposition of two doves in the Glyndor family coat of arms to a single pigeon spreading its wings.

It is worth mentioning that in the Assyrian territory, the dove represented both fertility and plunder, and there is no question of why.
