"I feel shameful for you!" Amon had an indignant look on his face, and he was breathing very heavily. "Mr. Dulin gave us the opportunity to regain our freedom and gave us a life value worth pursuing, but you Now you actually want to... want to disobey Mr. Dulin?" Amon's tone was incredulous, and he slapped the small table hard, "This simply makes me feel ashamed to have friends like you. Ashamed, have you forgotten what we promised Mr. Dulin?"
The two fence-sitters kept trying to persuade Amon not to be so angry, as if they were born to do this job. Amon came from the Tecolt Empire, which was an ancient empire in the Western Continent, also called the Eagle Beak Continent. The shape of the Western Continent is like an eagle's beak, with one end larger and one smaller, with a slight hook. There are some scattered islands scattered around the hook of the eagle's beak. The Tecolt Empire was once the only country in the Western Continent. Later, due to the brutal and bloody pharaoh Tekelt XVII, many member states finally broke away from the rule of the Tecolt Empire, and they were at war with each other.
The Tekelt people are also natural warriors. They have physical fitness that is different from ordinary people and are very strong. They can wield forty pounds of weapons and fight while riding on horses. However, they have one flaw, that is, they are relatively short.
The Western Continent, which lags behind other countries in technology, has become a favorite place for many slave traders. They use their absolute superiority in weapons to secretly capture slaves. However, this year, with the accession of Pharaoh Tekelt XXI to the throne, the Western Continent has become a favorite place for many slave traders. The situation on the mainland has become peaceful, and a parliament has been set up to call for peace. It is more difficult to catch slaves now. This group of dwarves has learned to use gold to exchange weapons from arms dealers.
However, although it is more difficult, it does not mean that there is no such thing. Slave-catching teams can always find small villages with weak defenses to attack. The hard-working and powerful Tecolt people have become the easiest goods to sell in the labor slave market, although the price Not very high, because these people do not have advanced technology and abilities and can only engage in the simplest and most repetitive manual labor, but the sales volume is very good.
In the Freedom Front, Tecolt people account for about 15% and are a relatively large group. As a member of the Ten Warriors, Amon represents the thoughts of all Tecolt people. They are A genuine group of people.
Fenrir's smile looked very fake. He lowered his head and used a sharp dagger to pick the dirt in the gaps between his nails. He glanced up at the angry Amon and persuaded him calmly: "Amon, it's not my fault. Mr. Dulin's wishes, first of all, we are here not out of our own will. Secondly, I am very grateful to Mr. Dulin for saving me from the dark mine, but this does not mean that I was saved from the hands of a slave owner. To be rescued, one must voluntarily become a slave under another slave owner.”
"We are free and independent people. We should have independent will and independent thinking ability. Amon, I am just doing what Mr. Dulin wants us to do most, learning to live independently on this land. This is not Is this what Mr. Dulin expects from us? Is there anything wrong with me?"
Fenrir came from the Southern Great Road. The longitude of the Southern Great Road spans a long way. The southernmost point is connected to the Antarctic and the northernmost point is close to the tropics. Fenrir comes from the south, and was born in a place called Elmundo. The climate in that place is very bad, and there are few crops that can be grown for more than a year. People's lives mainly depend on fishing. Sometimes they would also intercept passing ships at sea and plunder them. This group of people who were born in a place with the worst environment and where the country faced the sea on almost three sides were all born sailors or pirates.
Of course, they are also cunning enough, this is what the merchants and captains who were robbed said.
"I feel shameful and ridiculous for you! This is betrayal!" Amon angrily looked away from Fenrir and looked in the direction of the tent door curtain. "No matter what, I will go to see Mr. Dulin, all Tekel We will continue to abide by our commitment to Mr. Dulin!”
Fenrir put down the dagger in his hand and raised his head to look directly at Amon. Even though he was a man often called the Pirate of Elmundo, he was not willing to bear the reputation of betrayal. His expression became serious and he said loudly: "This is not betrayal! This is my right. We have the right to choose. This is our choice! If you are willing to continue to be a slave, I won't stop you, but don't stop me. Keep doing what I want to do.”
"free!"
This was destined to be an unhappy gathering. They had been instilled with many things by Du Lin because they had just returned from a world of black despair into the embrace of light, so this gave them light. People will get their unconditional trust and some admiration. But when these extreme emotions subside, the consciousness of personal independence will once again occupy the commanding heights of the soul. Everyone is an independent person, with independent thoughts and plans for life.
Some people are more focused on themselves and reality, while others are more emotional and idealistic. This requires a process to guide everything out, and finally you can see the essence.
Three perfect attacks accelerated this process, allowing some people to discover their own essence, such as Shuamun. For this young man who has his own beliefs and grew up in a social environment different from other empires, he believes more in his own judgment and so-called mission. He believed that he became a slave not because of his own misfortune. This was the revelation given to him by Kuleupis, which pointed out the path he would take in the future, which was to fight for the liberation of all the suffering Tecolt people.
The same goes for Fenrir. His faith and the cultural education he received told him that it is best to put things in his own pocket. After the three attacks were over, he found that doing these things could make him happy, but obeying others did not make him happy. If it doesn't make him happy, then why should he obey others? The man named Du Lin did save him, and it's not like he got nothing in return. He had already risked his life and attacked three mining areas to complete the tasks Du Lin had entrusted to him. What he paid was enough to repay Du Lin for pardoning his slave. The gift of status, they were even.
Beliefs, culture, these things quietly affect people's judgment and cognition. This is not a question of who is right or wrong, because everyone is right, and everyone is most devoutly loyal to their own choices, it doesn't matter Right or not, wrong is good.
But Fenrir also knows that when Amon returns, the Freedom Front may split into two organizations. Although he felt a little regretful, he didn't regret it either. Purer people have purer fighting power!
This is the place of his dreams. There is gold and money everywhere. As long as he can bend down to pick it up, he will definitely make a fortune!
Dulin was waiting for his ten warriors in a hotel in Wasiu Town. Wasiu Town is located in the central and western region of the west. The most prosperous place in the entire west only has the first-tier cities in the east. After reaching the central part, the cities become relatively rare. On the contrary, There are more towns. This situation was only alleviated after reaching the west coast. This is because the area in the middle of the west is mostly Gobi, mountains and a small amount of desertification areas. In this kind of geology and space, the cost of building a city is too high, but instead a town. More.
Wasiu Town has a population of more than 27,000, which is considered a medium-sized town. There are two trains passing through here every three and four days. Dulin came by train, and he will take the train three days later. The train leaves and returns to the east side of the west.
The town still retains the style of more than ten or twenty years ago. Of course, it also has a more modern side. For example, the high-end hotel he lives in now actually has a TV. If you want to watch the show, you need to pay one yuan to rent a tape. For free, you can watch great programs. And there is heating. Of course, heating also needs to be paid for. It is 24 hours and 50 minutes, and it doesn't matter if you pay a penny less.
When two carriages came in from the entrance of the town, someone passed the news to Dulin. If it weren't for the fact that the Freedom Front camped in a nearby valley, he really wouldn't have come to this ghost place.
Amon was the only one who came this time. He was sent here to meet Dulin on behalf of the mission. When he went up to the room on the second floor, Amon had a look of guilt on his face. He lowered his head, feeling that he could not face Dulin.
"Are you alone?" Dulin pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down, this is not unexpected."
Amon looked up at Dulin in surprise, thanked him and sat on the chair next to Dulin, "Why did you say that?"
Du Lin laughed, "When I heard that you accepted those scum, I knew that day had come."
"Human beings are complex creatures and very dirty, including me. Living in this world and breathing the air full of desires, human beings cannot get rid of the entanglement of desires. Some people can overcome these desires, but some It's obvious that people can't do it, isn't it?"
Amon savored these words carefully and then scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I let you down."
"No!" Dulin took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "You didn't disappoint anyone. On the contrary, you made me very happy, because at least your presence here proved that we are all that kind of people." A very small number of people have overcome their desires and know what they want to pursue and what they really are. We can't expect everyone to be the same as us. As long as we can remain who we are now, this is the best result. , you don’t need to apologize to me for other people’s mistakes, time will prove right and wrong!”
