Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

Greg was travelling to the town of Astapor to buy Unsullied from one of the Magisters there. Travelling with him was a convoy filled with the money that Greg would spend buying the unsullied.

Before he started his travel to Astapor Greg had sent Aleanna to set up a deal with one of the Magisters to buy thousands of Unsullied from him in return for money. The Magister had overcharged, since he didn't think that a woman would have enough money to buy thousands of unsullied.

So he charged more than twice the amount of the normal price, and when Aleanna agreed to pay the amount he was surprised since he didn't expect her to have enough money to buy the unsullied.

Aleanna had told him she would return with the money in a couple of weeks, so the Magister waited until then to see whether this woman was telling the truth. He had prepared the appropriate amount of Unsullied for the price that he charged, which was around 6k unsullied.

The Magister although he wasn't sure if that women would truly bring the money that he asked for still made preparations since if the woman was telling the truth, and he actually received that money then he would be the richest magister in the entire of Astapor.

With Greg on the convoy of carts were some new recruits who had completed their training, so Greg brought them on a trial, which was to defend the convoy from raiders and such. It was also at this time that the new recruits had learned who their lord was and many of them were surprised since Greg was young to be a lord who hold a lot of power.

Also, they were surprised to learn that Greg was the Lord of House Valir which was the very popular house in Essos and the only one since Essos didn't have houses and only had Magisters in the free cities who could be considered lords but all of them were usually people over 30 years of age.

The recruits had become even more eager since their lord was so young and very popular for his skills and business in Essos.

If you look at the new recruits from how they looked when they joined, you wouldn't even recognize them since their bodies were more built and fit while their gloomy expression had turned into a happy expression. Aside from training, they did occasionally have fun bonding with each other playing games and such.

The new recruit's skills were also good for the amount of training they did, as Greg would consider them on par with any soldier in Essos, but still not good enough to fight the Westeros armies head on.

As the convoy approached Astapor which was a located in slavers bay, Greg was greeted by some guards who asked for his purpose for visiting. Greg simply told them he had some business with a Magister and seeing nothing wrong with Greg, the guards had let them in.

Inside, Aleanna had led the convoy towards the Magister's manor to complete the transaction and get the unsullied.

As they walked through the city the recruits were observing their surroundings looking at all the things that the city had since when they were slaves they didn't have the time to look around a city. They were also remembering their past since they came from slavers bay looking at the slaves around them they were glad that Lord Greg had rescued them since now they have a better life.

Greg was also looking around the city, at the slaves more specifically, since they were looking at him and his group passing through. Many had faces longing for freedom, and soon enough Greg would bring that freedom.

After a few minutes, they had arrived at the Magisters Manor. Then a man had come out of the manor accompanied by two slaves "Hello there I see you have returned" Said the Magister as he was looking at the long convey thinking that she actually did bring the money

He then looked at Greg, who looked a little young to be a soldier "My name is Horeo Naerios, and I am one of the Magisters in this city may I know your names" Said Magister Horeo

"My name is Aleanna and this is my Lord his names is Greg" Said Aleanna

"Someone so young is a lord are you perhaps a Magister from another city or something" Asked Horeo since Magisters had subordinates who often referred to them as lord.

"You could say that I am Yes" Said Greg

"Well it's nice to meet you and I know you probably want to get straight to business, so please wait so that I can get the unsullied together for you in the meantime please come in and sit down" Said Magister Horeo who also told one of his servants to make them some refreshments.

While waiting for the Magister to gather, the unsullied Greg was in the Manor, eating and drinking the small meal that the Magister so kindly offered them. To Greg, it was a little bitter since it didn't have any seasoning on it and was just plain, but it still had some type of flavor to it that made it slightly good.

After enjoying the meal, magister Horeo had come back and informed them that all of the unsullied were gathered, so Greg followed Magister Horeo to where the unsullied were located.

As they arrived at a massive courtyard area, Greg could see a lot of unsullied and estimated it to be a couple thousand unsullied.

"I have gathered 6k unsullied here to offer you for my price and I could add more if you have more money to buy them" Said Magister Horeo since he wanted to make a profit off of selling these slaves and if the buyer had more why not give sell him more.

'6k' thought John

"How about increasing that to 10k, and we have a deal" Said Greg

The Magister had eyes full of money at this point, "sure 10k unsullied it's a deal" Said Magister Horeo.

After giving him the coins, Magister Horeo had his servants take the money to his manor while he stayed with Greg and gave him the Whip which is used to control the unsullied as their master.

Greg then took the unsullied outside of the city and began travelling back to the fortress.

Along the way, Greg stopped and faced the unsullied. During his time in the fortress, Greg had studied the Valyrian language from the books that he had his spies make, and he had learned some of the basics and could hold conversations in the language

"Unsullied" Said Greg in the Valyrian language, causing the unsullied to stand at attention

"from here on out you are no longer slaves and instead are soldiers who will fight for me to help me accomplish my goals which are many and one of them is to stop slavery. Anybody who wants to leave is allowed to do so" Said Greg as he looked at the unsullied and seen none of them move

"Good then let's move on and keep travelling" Said Greg since he had accomplished one of his missions and got some strong soldiers.
