Another day passed and Rowan and Silvia received the Go signal for the mission.
Apparently, Alterra had sent another warning letter to Voumi via the Post Office, which finally received a reply.
There, Mafo resolutely refused to sell the slaves for less than 40 gold each, and they had no right to complain about the state of the slaves afterwards, as long as they were breathing when they left the territory.
Althea had seriously considered buying them anyway, but she was advised against it by the other elders.
A territory like Voumi would not stop until it drained them.
Alterra had too much to use that money on. For one, the new wall would not be cheap. Regardless of where it'd be spent, thousands of lives depended on it.
Not to mention, that bastard would definitely send them the dying ones, possibly invalid. It was a bit heartless and cold to even be thinking of abandonment, but they should not risk what they already had.
