After talking to Rina, Gin called the three men who reached level 1. Two of them sold themselves to the slave trader. They didn't have the money to buy food for themselves and they couldn't find any job as they did in have a skill so they choose to sell themselves to a slave trader. If they become a slave, their master would provide them food and they were lucky if they found a good master.
That happened before they reached level 1. They only became level 1 thanks to the training regime of the slave trader and their value increased. They could now become a guard and they have fighting skills that they gained from training.
Their named were Regie and Fucci. They were worth it and he will think of a way to increase their strength.
While the remaining man was a guard from a noble household. After the noble household fell, he became a slave. His strength reached the middle tier of level 1. He was stronger than the two men.
He didn't have a family so after his previous lord died, he lost his attachment to the other people. He didn't have any wish as long as he provided him food and place he will serve him as his lord.
His name was Gardi and he was the oldest among the three men.
Next were the five women. One of them was level 1 so Gin talked to that person first. Her name was Lylia. She wasn't that talkative but she still told him about her circumstances.
She was a beautiful girl with tan skin and long silky black hair. She said that she came from the amazon tribe to the northeast of the Great Gan Empire. She said that if he could save her tribesmen then she would give him her soul and body.
Gin accepted her condition without hesitation. If he gathered her tribesmen and they became his citizen then it would greatly benefit him.
"How many amazons are in your tribe?" He asked her an important question.
"We only have four hundred people in our tribe," Lylia replied to him in a polite tone.
'Four hundred. That's a 0.4% increased in stats. It will be a good bargain if I could convince them to become a citizen of my country.' Gin thought as he rubbed his chin. He then glanced at her and asked, "Can you recognize your tribesmen if you met one of your people?"
"Yes, although there are dozens of amazon tribes in the continent we had different symbols," Lylia said as she opened her clothes and showed him a tattoo on the center of her chest.
The tattoo was a black circle with two snakes coiling around a sword.
This was the symbol of their tribe. Everyone in their tribe has this tattoo on their chest.
"Then, tell me the story of your tribe." Gin asked her one last question. He had to determine the difficulty of her quest.
Lylia took a deep breath as she slowly explained to him what happened to their territory. The serpentes tribe was the name of their tribe. It was a small group consisting of females and males amazon. The population of females was higher than males as two out of ten pregnant women would give birth female.
Their social system was a matriarchy which means that females hold the power position in their tribe.
They were living a normal life in the forest near the empire when the knights of the said empire attacked them. The empire was currently in a war against its neighboring countries so they cleaned up everything around them including their tribes.
Her tribesmen became a wanderer and some of them became slaves like her. Most of their fighter was forced to participate the war under the empire's bandwagon.
"Okay, I understand your situation and I hope that you understand our situation too. We currently don't have the power to go against the empire that has powerful military prowess." Gin said to her solemnly.
"Yes, I know it," Lylia said as she lowered her head.
"Don't worry, I will help you once I've accumulated my strength. We may not be able to save all of them but I'm sure that we would be able to save everyone that is still alive at that time." Gin smiled at her.
"Thank you, my lord," Lylia said from the bottom of her heart. She knew that she wouldn't be able to save all of them. It was suicide to go against the empire with their current strength.
She could only hope that a lot of her tribesmen would survive until that time.
After that, Gin talked to the remaining four women. All of them were sex slaves. Both of them were beautiful and have voluptuous bodies. He already expected this but he was shocked when he heard that their previous master would even let other people gang banged them.
Jina was a human with long silky black hair. She was twenty-nine years old and she was living a life of a slave ever since she turned ten. She was the most experienced sex slave among the rest.
She hoped to live a normal life in this place and Gin assured her that he will try his best to fulfill it.
She had cooking skills and she knew how to weave clothes. She also had some knowledge about farming. She would become an important asset to him.
Anne was a werecat with shoulder-length chestnut-colored hair. Her bust wasn't large but her previous master had a demi-human fetish. He liked to bang any demi-human. He also had a large collection of demi-human slaves.
Unlike Jina, Anne resented her previous owner. She wanted to kill him so Gin promised her that he will find him and will deliver his body to her.
The opponent this time was a powerful noble so it will take a lot of time before she managed to exact her revenge.
Then, there was Yufi. She was twenty-two years old. A beautiful petite woman that has ashen-colored hair. She had a pair of wolf ears and tails that has the same color as her hair.
She said that she hoped that she could reunite with her little brother. Her brother's name was Rean and he was fifteen years old. She separated from her brother when she was small so she didn't have an idea where he is. Maybe, he was already dead.
"If your brother is still alive I'll help you finding him." Gin said to her.
"Thanks, Lord Gin!" Yufi bowed her head before she left the caravan.
Lastly, there's Joan. She's a simple woman. She just hopes that the country grew larger and built a family here. Of course, she was willing to help Gin if he had any problem.
She said that she could cook a delicious meal for him. If he couldn't sleep he can call her to his bedroom.
After finishing talking to his first ten citizens, he organized his thoughts. Their skills were pretty much the basic ones. If he wanted to build a good country for them, then he would need people that specialize in different fields.
"Houses and farming. It's bad if we only eat monster's meat every day." Gin muttered as he glanced at his territory.
[Foul Domain] or [Curse Land] judging from these names he wasn't sure if ordinary plants will grow here.
If he couldn't grow plants in his territory, he wouldn't have a choice but to grow it outside of his territory. But doing this means that dead mana wasn't around them so they will have a high probability of encountering a monster.
Well, even his territory wasn't that safe. Some of the monsters didn't care about dead mana at all. They just rushed in inside his territory and Gin would flee.
