The York people are a very tragic nation. More than three hundred years ago, they used to be a small country next to Hollevin.
Although their country is small, their people are extremely combative, good at singing and dancing, and they are also very hospitable.
But it was because they were too hospitable, and then they were wiped out by Huo Levin. Of the more than 60,000 nationals, only a few thousand remain. Thousands of these people were captured as slaves, divided into several groups, resold in the Hollevin Kingdom, and then survived with difficulty. No one has counted how many Yorkers are left, but Lloyd and the others know very well that their group of Yorkers should be the last ethnic group.
Lloyd is the only literate member of the York family. The teacher who taught him to read was also the only literate person in the previous generation of York people, because it was too difficult for slaves to learn to read and write after hard work. Only children with astonishing talents, such as those with a photographic memory, will be chosen to be the inheritors of the next generation of characters.
Among the Yorkers, Lloyd is the only one who knows the history of their own nation. The others only know that they are Yorkers. As for where they came from, where their hometown is, and why they became slaves, they don’t know anything.
As a text inheritor, Lloyd has been paying attention to the changes of the ethnic group, but because of slavery, the quality of the children in the ethnic group is getting lower and lower. After more than ten years, he has not found a child who is suitable for learning characters .
When Lloyd thought he was about to lose his inheritance, he unexpectedly had a pleasant surprise.
A kind nobleman bought them. The reason why Lloyd felt that the other party was a kind person was because this nobleman, their new owner, actually let them take a bath and gave them something to eat. And also gave them hemp noodles to make their own clothes.
Lloyd doesn't understand any major principles, but he knows very well that human beings are human because they can have a clean body and can be covered with clothes, otherwise they are no different from beasts.
And the new owner sent linen clothes. And let them buy dry food. This is not treating others as human beings, what else can they be. Although the master is very difficult to talk on the surface, but the other party is a nobleman, a high-ranking spellcaster nobleman, if he doesn't have some majesty and temper, it would be a strange thing.
Lloyd walked on the street with three of his fellow clansmen. Because the slave inscription is engraved on the back, they put on their clothes at this time. It's no different from ordinary people.
Although he is a slave, Lloyd used to help other masters buy supplies in the past, so he has a better understanding of the supplies in the market.
More than seven hundred people need to consume the minimum amount of food a day, Lloyd is also very clear about this, he first went to the car dealer to buy a few donkey carts, then hired a few people, and then went to the food dealer to buy the cheapest, of course The worst ration.
When these carts of grain were transported back to the cave. When Lloyd saw the numb clansmen, they all looked over in unison.
This is a good thing. Lloyd knew very well that the clansmen didn't react too much to anything. They just lived like wild beasts. The only thing better than wild beasts was that they knew how to speak.
But now, the clansmen have clean bodies. There are also new clothes to wear, and they gradually begin to reveal their human side.
"Let the children come over and eat something." Lloyd said to his tribe, "Everyone can't eat too much, just grab a handful, understand?"
The man nodded. I went to the crowd to eat and drink a few times, and soon a group of children ran over, and everyone obediently grabbed a handful of dry rations and stuffed them into their mouths. They ate in such a hurry that some even choked.
Looking at this scene, Lloyd couldn't help but feel some joy in his heart. Children are the future of a group. As long as the children live well, the group will not perish, but will only grow slowly.
But he hadn't been happy for long, when he saw a person walking in, his heart immediately turned cold.
The person who came was Beta, their new master.
There were also a few children holding a ball of coarse grains in their hands and stuffing them vigorously into their mouths, which was naturally seen by Beta.
In the eyes of any nobleman, eating secretly is a big taboo. Lloyd was very afraid that Beta would punish these children. He was sweating all over, and was about to try to persuade the master not to touch these children, and when he took all the faults on himself, he saw that Beta told those children If not, go to the donkey cart to check the condition of these rations.
Lloyd felt his throat hang from his throat.
After watching several donkey carts, Beta walked up to Lloyd and asked expressionlessly, "How much did it cost?"
"This is ten days' worth, and it only cost one gold coin and thirty-six silver coins." Lloyd was a little worried. He was afraid that the master would think he had bought too much. After all, he secretly calculated the minimum daily rations consumed by the clansmen.
"Are you helping me save money?" Beta seemed to sneer with some disdain: "In the future, your rations will be doubled on this basis. Also, when you buy food in the future, just buy it month by month, don't be too petty , I only buy it for ten days at a time, what is it? Say it out and lose my face."
Lloyd took a deep breath: "No problem. As you wish, my master."
Beta hummed, and then said: "You will go and buy back the remaining 20 days of rations later, and then let them have enough to eat. We will set off tomorrow morning."
"Yes, master."
Beta glanced at the slaves, and nodded when he saw that their energy and blood had improved significantly. Turning around and leaving, when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, he suddenly turned back, looked at Lloyd and said, "Those children, don't let them steal it again, if I see it again next time, break their dog legs."
"Okay." Lloyd replied loudly, ecstatically, and his hanging heart was relieved.
When the master said that, he naturally let go of those children who stole food. As for the bad tone of the master... How many masters have a gentle tone when they speak to slaves? If something like that really happens, it means that things may be troublesome.
Lloyd watched Beta leave the cave. He looked at his tribe and suddenly shouted: "Listen to me, prepare to eat, we can finally have a full stomach."
After a while, there was a burst of joyous cheers.
Beta was outside the cave, listening to the faint voice behind him, he smiled slightly, feeling a little happy. As a person on Earth in the information age, Beta has some resistance to the word slave, but he knows very well that if he tells these slaves rashly that they are free, they will be ordinary people in the future.
Saying this, those slaves will not only not believe it, but will be very scared.
In the eyes of many people, even slaves themselves, a slave is a slave, the most despicable thing. They are used to this positioning, and suddenly if someone said that, then they would definitely suspect that the person who said this had absolutely no good intentions, after all, if anything is abnormal, there will be problems.
Beta returned to the hotel and walked around the street with Shirley and Jessica for a few hours. Jessica seemed very excited. She liked to go shopping with the owner the most, while Shirley seemed much calmer, but still very happy .
After dark, I went back to the hotel, ate something and went to sleep.
Waking up the next day, Beta took Shirley and Jessica to the entrance of the cave.
Lloyd was already waiting at the door with his people. Beside them, there were more than a dozen donkey carts with sackcloth on them. They must be full of rations.
"Master, we are all ready." Lloyd stepped forward and reported.
Beta looked at the group of slaves and said indifferently: "There are quite a few old guys among you... Logically speaking, they should be thrown away."
As soon as these words came out, Lloyd was shocked, but he couldn't find any refutation. After all, this is a problem that all slaves will encounter. As long as people are old and unable to work, they will be abandoned and starved to death.
"But I have a good heart. I allow you to take these old guys with you. If they don't want to be in the team, let them sit on the donkey cart. Anyway, those rations are not expensive things. Let the old guys sit Sitting is no problem."
Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief, and he said happily: "Master, you are really kind, you are the kindest master I have ever seen."
Beta smiled lightly, noncommittal, then called a carriage from the side, sat in it, and drove slowly out of the city.
Lloyd made a gesture and told his people to follow immediately.
More than 700 people lined up in two rows, and more than a dozen donkey carts walked out of the city in a mighty manner.
This is a rare thing in Caronte City, and it shocked many people.
Francis stood in front of the window on the fifth floor, watching the procession of slaves coming out below, with his butler standing behind him.
"How's it going?"
"It's been found out that the man is indeed the Red Priest. The latest news is that there is an extremely beautiful woman beside the Red God's lawsuit. She has the same bright golden hair as him, which is exactly the same as our target's appearance."
"Since he is the real Red Priest, there is no need for us to provoke him." Fatty Francis chuckled: "Let's give up these slaves. A person who dares to fight the prince and can retreat unscathed, We can't afford it. But there are always some idiots who are overwhelmed, you send two people to follow behind quietly to see which force will attack, as long as they are defeated by the red priest, it is time for us to take advantage of it."
The butler bent down and took the order to come out.
There are many well-known reasons why a slave sold in a slave market occasionally returns to the seller after a short period of time.
Beta was sitting in the carriage, chatting with Shirley. The team had just left the city, and Joan of Arc, who was scouting in the air, told him that a small encirclement circle was being arranged one kilometer ahead of their road. (.)
ps: Sorry, I have something to do today, so I can only make an update.
