Chapter 25 Return to Slaver's Bay

Three months passed in a flash, and Essos seemed to have no winter, and the weather was always hot.

Jack was very curious, is it only when the long night comes that Essos will enter winter, because the winter in Essos is just a little lower, not even below zero.

In contrast, the North of Westeros is almost snowy all year round. Once winter comes, the North is like being wrapped in snow, and no other color can be seen.

The weather in Game of Thrones is capricious, and the lack of stable seasons is also the reason for the development of Westeros.

The barren North occupies nearly half of the territory of the seven major countries, but the registered population is only a few hundred thousand, and even the army can only gather less than 30,000 people.

As for the fact that the warriors of the North can fight three with one, this is more like bragging nonsense. If it were not for the genius strategy of the young wolf lord Robb Stark, the North would have been driven back by the Lion family long ago.

"Captain, we will be able to reach the Slaver's Bay in about three days. Should we go directly to Astapor? Or should we transform the fleet first?"

"If we go directly to Astapor, we may not be able to buy the Unsullied if we are late."

Now that Daenerys has come from Qarth, it is unknown when all the Unsullied in Astapor will be liberated.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Soon, three days pass in a flash, and Jack steps on the dock of Astapor again.

Thirteen giant merchant ships directly occupy most of the docks in Qarth. Jack returns to Astapor after a year.

With three hundred Unsullied, Jack brings a large number of rare treasures into the city.

Jack is ready to release the news that he wants to buy three thousand Unsullied. If you think the price is right, you can come to consult.

But he soon canceled this plan. Jack first asked Newgate to contact Hago Vesely to see if he can harvest a wave of cheap goods from the small slave owners first.

After Newgate received the order, he led a team of sea guards to the residence of Hago in his memory.

As a small slave owner, Hago's residence was not luxurious, but the decoration was very good.

When he heard that Jack had sent someone to visit, Hago was very happy, thinking that it was another Unsullied who came to buy him.

But Hago soon found out that he had underestimated Jack.

Two bed slaves took Newgate into Hago's palace. It was more like a living room than a palace, specially used to receive big customers. It sounded better to call it a palace.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder why Mr. Jack didn't come in person?" Hago asked.

Newgate was old and cunning. He understood that this was because Hago looked down on his slave origin and blamed Jack for not coming to see him in person.

Newgate chuckled, "Captain Jack is very busy now. He has 200 ships, 13 of which are huge ships to manage. I am the mate, and I came to see you because Captain Jack is thinking of the past."

Hago was shocked. He didn't expect that Jack's strength had expanded to this extent after more than half a year. Although he didn't completely believe Newgate's words, Hago's attitude became respectful.

After all, if Newgate was not bragging, then Jack really thought of the past by asking Newgate to see him.

Then Newgate continued, "Captain Jack is going to buy 3,000 Unsullied this time. For the sake of our old friendship, 25 gold coins each. You or your friends can take as many as you want. I will give you one more gold dragon for each Unsullied afterwards."

Hago's eyes suddenly slit with smile. What's the name of the old friendship? He just wanted to buy the Unsullied from him at a low price. Those big slave owners all set the price at 30 gold dragons. Only small slave owners like them would sell at a low price, but he was also happy to serve.

Merchants are supposed to make a profit from the price difference.

After all, small slave owners like Hago have a circle. If Hago plans this matter properly, he can make an extra one or two thousand gold dragons.

Hago hurriedly poured wine for Newgate, "Master Jack means that I will take as many as I have under my command, 25 gold dragons each, and give you one more gold dragon for each one?"

"Yes, but only three thousand."

"That's enough, there will be about 1,800 Unsullied." Hago roughly estimated.

Newgate nodded, "Okay, I'll report to the captain. You can just take the Unsullied to the dock after you've counted them."

"Okay, you've worked hard." Hago clapped his hands, and a slave came up with a small box.

Hago took the box and opened it. Inside was a red gem ring.

He pushed the box to Newgate, "This is a small gift from me. Please accept it, Captain Newgate."

Newgate smiled and put the ring down. "Then I'll go back first. You must hurry up. The captain originally planned to buy it directly for 30 gold coins. I finally persuaded the captain to let me come here to ask you."

"Thank you, thank you."

Hago sent Newgate away and immediately asked his slaves to notify his slave owner friends to come to his house, saying that there was a big deal.

That night, 23 slave owners had gathered at Hago's house, and the number of Unsullied in their hands ranged from dozens to hundreds.

After Hago's questioning, he found out that there were 2,196 Unsullied, including the 78 Unsullied in his hands. This number was 400 more than Hago had estimated.

"Hago, you called us to your house in such a hurry, didn't you just want to count how many Unsullied we have?"

"That's right, I thought you got another batch of high-quality bed slaves, so happy for nothing."

Hago pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be patient, "Business has been bad recently, and you have accumulated so many Unsullied."

"You don't need to tell me that. There haven't been many large-scale wars in the world recently, and there are few frictions between city-states. The best-selling products now are bed slaves and skill slaves."

Hago laughed and said directly, "I have a friend who is going to buy a batch of Unsullied, but the quota is only 1,800, but we have nearly 2,200."

Everyone was silent after hearing this. Everyone wanted to send out the goods in their hands. They, a group of small slave owners, did not have a fixed sales channel. If the Unsullied in their hands could not be sold for a long time, they would definitely be stuck in their hands. No one likes old slaves.

"I wonder if you can talk to your friend and take all our goods?"

Hago showed a perfect look of embarrassment on his face, "I can try, but the price..."

Hago paused for a moment and continued: "My friend's budget is limited. If you can lower the price to 22 gold dragons, I am confident."

"22 gold dragons is too low, 23 gold dragons, what do you think?"

Hago looked embarrassed and said unconfidently: "Then I will ask tomorrow, 23 gold dragons, to see if he can take all. If he can, you can bring all the Unsullied to me and I will trade."

The rest of the people thanked him one after another. The training cost of the Unsullied is very low, and it may not even cost one gold dragon. The main cost is time.

But in the same way, if the Unsullied is a little older, no one will buy it. The guests would rather spend more money to buy the young Unsullied from the big slave owners.

If someone could directly purchase the goods from them now, they would be able to make a significant comeback without having to worry about the upcoming off-season for Unsullied sales.
