Doomsday, starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 158 Astapor
"I'll be back after the monsoon season is over. Hope everything is fine when I get back!"

"Don't worry, Lord Duke, I guarantee that the castle will be safe and sound when you return!"

The mercenary leader, Barry Norton, solemnly assured Lynn.

Barry is a 35-year-old middle-aged man. His physical strength has begun to decline in this grade, but his rich experience and combat skills still keep him active on the front line.He has been a mercenary all his life, and now a chance to change his destiny is in front of him. He even hopes that someone will attack Storm's End, so that he can perform well!
"Maester Pethwain!"

"grown ups!"

"I hope you can teach more children to learn characters and mathematics when you have time." Lynn said in a semi-command tone,

He hopes to cultivate some practical talents, and he already has a crude plan in mind, which will be implemented after returning from Essos!
"My lord, this is very difficult!"

Although Pai Siwen was very afraid of Lynn, he still mustered up his courage and said with difficulty,

How can noble knowledge be taught casually? It’s fine if they are the sons of nobles, but how can it be taught to ordinary people who can’t afford to eat?He doesn't look down on civilians, but a bachelor has to manage a lot of things, time is not wasted like this!

"Triple pay!"

Lynn said,

"Don't worry, my lord, even though it's difficult, I'll still choose a few smart kids to try."

"Very well, you guys go to work, I will set off one day before the wind season arrives."

Maester Perthwin and mercenary Barry left after hearing this,

After they left, Lynn came to the pier in disguise without notifying anyone. There were very few boats at the pier of Storm's End at this time of year. He found a boat bound for Pandos on the other side, and got a room at the price of two golden dragons. Premium warehouse.

He didn't intend to go directly to Slaver's Bay by boat, it would take too long,

He will use his own way to travel after landing. Apparition is a good way to travel. He can already use it. Although it is uncomfortable and has many restrictions, it is faster than riding a horse on land. If it is not because He is a person with no sense of direction in the vast sea, and Lynn doesn't even want to sit on a boat!
The merchant ship set off on the same day and arrived at Pandos five days later. Lin En hired a guide after getting off the ship, asked him in detail how to get to Slaver Bay, and bought a map.
Apparatus has strict requirements on the target, it must be a place that has been visited, and it must be a place that is very clear. Lin En's eyes are smeared here, of course he is not familiar with it, but his eyesight is extraordinary, more than ten times that of ordinary people ,
His eyes fixed on the target in a flash, and with a soft "pop", it disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was more than ten kilometers away. It re-determined the target and disappeared again with a snap. Just like this, Lynn walked through many cities along the way. The target was Astapor in Slaver's Bay.

Three days later, I came to the seaside of Slaver's Bay,

At last he saw the golden statue of the Harpy in Astapor.

The body of a woman, the wings of a bat, the legs of an eagle and the tail of a scorpion, its claws holding the shackles, its whole body shining with gold, is placed on the city wall of the harbor gate, and it can easily attract everyone's attention from the sea Power, high degree of recognition.

All the cities in the entire Slave Bay are engaged in the slave trade, and what really distinguishes Astapor from other slave cities is that they produce an extremely powerful type of arms,

Unsullied!
Every Unsullied must be castrated since childhood, and on the day of castration, the slave owner gave him a cute puppy. One year later, this Unsullied must strangle the puppy with his own hands. would be slaughtered and the body fed to the puppy he couldn't bear to kill.

Every Unsullied consumes a debilitating drink three times a day for all meals, until they lose all senses.And they have to undergo inhumane training every day, such as running for a day with a full load and climbing a hundred-foot cliff with their bare hands. For every five boys who are trained strictly, only one can survive this inhuman training.

They don't even have their own names, they have to draw lots from a wooden barrel every day, and the names written on the labels are their names on that day, such as gray worms, black worms, red worms, small benches and so on.

On the day the Unsullied completed his training, the slave master would give him a silver coin and ask him to go to the slave market to find a slave mother with a baby and kill the baby in front of the mother.Then leave the silver coins.

The silver coins were not compensated to the mother, but to the owner of the dead baby.

Under such cruel physical and mental training, every Unsullied has completely lost their own tools. They only know obedience, no desire, no fear, they will not retreat when they fail, and they will not slaughter if they break the city!

Many people in past life forums refer to the Unsullied as the most powerful foot soldiers in Westeros.

Lynn stepped into Astapor through the main gate. As soon as he entered the gate, there was a long punishment square. Slaves who made mistakes would be brought here to be punished or executed by slave owners. The long passages on both sides of this place were full of slaves. .

Some of them are already dead, and will be taken back by the slave owner to be burned. Those that are not yet dead belong to the slave owner’s personal property. How to dispose of them is the freedom of the master, and no one can rescue or help them.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Long Ma hasn't come yet!"

You must know that after Long Ma came here, she abolished the slave system here. She bought out all the Unsullied, including those who were still in training. She agreed to pay the money and deliver the goods, but she temporarily regretted it. , not only did not want to give the money, but even the goods were swallowed!
Isn't this an obvious robbery?Where is the business reputation?

And that's not counting, she also ordered the release of all slaves and the execution of all slave owners over the age of 12 in the city!
……

Lynn didn't want to comment on the good or bad of this behavior, but what about after killing?How should the slaves live after turning over?Hundreds of thousands of slaves!Let go of a three-person council!

"It's so naive and scary, I don't know if it's because I really sympathize with slaves!"

She probably forgot that all the cities in Slaver's Bay were conquered by Valyria riding a dragon, and then transformed into slave trading cities!

Lynn entered the city center of Astapor after passing through the Punishment Square. The roads here are paved with red bricks, and the main buildings are those stepped pyramids. The abode, the tallest pyramid reaches four hundred feet and is planted with trees, vines and flowers.From a distance, it is majestic and beautiful.

Most of the free folk in the city belonged to the nobles, and the women wore veils, and the men wore tokas, silk cloaks with brass discs sewn on them, sandals and linen pleated skirts,
He came all the way to Pride Square, where the slave market was openly sold.

In the center of the square is a fountain made of red bricks, with a bronze statue of the Astapor Harpy on it. After Lin En came here, he was dressed as a nobleman and attracted the attention of several slave owners. Asking something in Valyrian.

Lynn can't understand, but it doesn't matter. The slave owner is not surprised when he finds out that he can't understand. There are people from all over the place who come here to buy slaves. Language question, they are specially trained translation slaves, of course common language is not a problem,
Soon Lynn's purpose was told to the slave owner, and he was very happy to learn that he was here to buy the Unsullied. Everyone who can afford to buy the Unsullied is a big buyer.
Because the Unsullied are only sold in batches, and the price is expensive, every transaction is a huge profit.
