The location of the aristocratic council is not difficult to find. It is on the square next to the City Lord Mansion. The residence of the aristocratic council is the second only to god in the city. The temple and the City Lord Mansion, the whole building is located on a three-story base. The front is twelve large granite stone pillars with a diameter of one meter and a hemispherical dome on top.

The heroes in the history of the Kingdom of Florence are carved on the stone pillar, and the reliefs on the walls are important historical events since the founding of the Kingdom of Florence. The entire aristocratic council looks magnificent.

At the main entrance are two bronze statues riding horses, Charlemagne and Wilson. These two men are the strongest Legendary Knight in the history of the kingdom and the highest commander in the kingdom. Two statues of war horsemen stood up, holding a long spear pointing far ahead, and seemed to be leading the magnificent army with thousands of men and horses on an expedition.

The bronze statue is four or five meters high, and the carved every delicate hair was completely shown. It is vivid and majestic at first glance. You don't need to ask to know that it was from the master.

Suren walked up the steps in three steps and was stopped by a guard as soon as he stood at the gate.

"Sir, this is the Council of Nobles, what can you do?"

Suren took out his noble badge and handed it to him, "I want to buy a development order."

The guard took the aristocratic badge and carefully identified it. The pattern on it was indeed genuine, and then the badge was returned to Suren.

"Sir, please come with me." The guard made a please gesture, and then led Suren into the noble council.

When he came to the hall, Suren discovered how magnificent this hall is. The entire hall is at least 500 square meters and the height is more than ten meters. The entire hall is covered by a semi-circular dome. What's more surprising is that there is no pillar supporting it in such a wide hall.

On the dome of the hall, there is also a fresco depicting the Founding War. Because of this war, the Kingdom of Florence defeated the invaders and gained independence.

A dozen clerks were busy in the hall. Suren and the guard did not disturb these people. Under the leadership of the guard, they came to Suren and came to a beautifully carved iron-wood door.

Seeing this wooden door, Suren also secretly slapped his tongue. The price of this wooden door is not cheap. This is ironwood that only grows in the north. This kind of wood is hard as iron and is not easy to deform. It is not easy to burn, and its weight is only 1/4 of steel, but it grows slowly. Under normal circumstances, it is used to make high-level shields. It takes at least 50 years to grow for such a large piece.

The guard knocked on the door, but there was no response in the room. After a while, the guard increased his strength and knocked on the door again. This time there was finally some movement in the room.

"Come in." A somewhat lazy voice sounded behind the door.

The two pushed the door to enter. The room did not look luxurious. A redwood desk, several bookshelves, and several high-backed chairs placed opposite each other. At this time, there was a sitting behind the desk. Some obese middle-aged nobles can infer from his somewhat blurred eyes, the Red Seal on his side, and the crystal clear liquid on the corners of his lips, that this one was sleeping just now.

"Your Excellency Julian, this gentleman is here to buy the development order." The guard pointed at Suren and said.

"Buy a development order?" Julian looked at Suren in a little surprised when he heard the guard's words.

He can’t help but be surprised. You must know that he won’t be able to sell a few copies in a year. Although it looks very good, the real success can be counted on one's fingers. The nobles who purchased the overwhelming majority finally gave up their territories in despair and returned.

"Yes, Lord Julian." Suren laughed at Julian and laughed.

"Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't think that after reading a few Knight novels, you feel that there is nothing at the worst in pioneering territories. You must know that there are no one thousand and eight hundred abandoned territories in the wilderness." Julian glanced at Suren and said.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your reminder, I know exactly what I am doing." Suren said in a tranquil voice.

"Well, when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you." Julian shrugged, then took a parchment stamped with the seal from the shelf behind him, and picked up the quill next to it. A line of swash letters was written in the blank space of parchment, and then handed to Suren.

"Sign your name, and then pay five hundred golden dinar."

Suren took the pen and signed his signature on the sheepskin roll, and then put the prepared Put a bag of golden dinar on the table.

Julian puts the golden dinar on a balance for weighing. After confirming the correct quantity, he picked up the seal and stamped it on the parchment.

"Okay young man, take your development order and go, good luck!"

Suren took the development order and thanked him and then turned and left the noble council . Next, he needs to recruit a group of people. It is not an easy task to open up the territory. He needs to prepare a lot of golden dinar. In addition to recruiting a territory guard, he also needs to buy food, tools, medicine, etc., wait until the territory is preliminary. After stabilization, slaves must be purchased for farming.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to recruit free people, but that few free people are willing to follow the nobles to newly opened territories. Although the pioneering nobles offer various preferential conditions for free people, few are willing to go. Only those bankrupt farmers or unemployed refugees will be moved. After all, the death rate of opening up territories is too high.

Looking at the time, the sky was already dim, and Suren did not go to the slave market anymore, and went back to the hotel to rest.

Early in the morning of 2nd day, after a simple breakfast in the hotel, Suren spent a silver dinar and rented a carriage to the slave market.

The slave market is located on the other side of the city. After half an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a lively market. Suren jumped off the carriage and walked into the slave market.

The northern province is located on the border of the kingdom. There are many demi-human tribes or tribes still in the primordial society. Every year, the army of the kingdom engages in local wars with these tribes and gains from the war. Many prisoners, this is also one of the sources of slaves in the slave market. There are also professional slave hunters who went to the wilderness to capture them. Of course, there are also bad luck eggs that can't pay their debts and are sold into slaves.

Walking into the slave market, there is an unpleasant odor, like the odor of various excrements after being soaked and heated and fermented. Sewage flows across the ground, and on both sides of the road are some slave merchants shouting loudly, and many thin and dirty slaves are kept in cages behind them.

Most of these slaves are naked, only the crotch is covered by a dirty rag. Many slaves still have traces of whipping, one by one, their eyes are dull, and they are completely lifeless. These are the most inferior slaves.
