Chapter 25 The Release of the Slaves

People are different, even for a group of the most humble slaves, when they know that they can be free, their expressions are also different.

Some were ecstatic, some didn't believe it, some were at a loss, and some were at a loss.

At this moment, when Zhang Tie announced to the 40 or 50 slaves he had bought in a clearing in the woods near the slave market outside Star City, those slaves used various Looking at Zhang Tie with straight eyes, the expression on his face was also very strange.

Some slaves turned pale and trembled with fear.

"No, no, I don't want to be free, I don't want to play this kind of game anymore..." a slave shouted loudly, his face was full of fear, and he was looking at the surrounding bushes in panic, "I know, as long as I turn around and run out At a certain distance, you young masters will chase me from behind like hunting wild dogs and kill me, I have experienced such a thing before, and those people with machine crossbows must be hiding nearby, right?"

When this man said this, some of the other slaves also panicked. They turned their heads and looked around. Among these slaves, they seemed to have heard of such things. In some places, those people They let them out, and then they had a game of slave hunting, some fun with their lives, and it seemed just the right kind of game to play here outside the city.

Zhang Tie rolled his eyes when he heard that, even Da Vinci looked at Zhang Tie helplessly, his eyes seemed to say - look, these slaves are like this!

Some of the dozens of slaves panicked, but Zhang Tie also noticed that a few of them behaved relatively calmly. One of them had only one arm, was tall, and was in his 50s with a weather-beaten face and a beard. The man caught Zhang Tie's attention, Zhang Tie waved to him, and the man strode up to Zhang Tie.

"Been in the army?" Zhang Tie asked after looking at him.

"This hand was broken on the battlefield. I used to be a captain and officer in the Macedonian Empire!" the man in his 50s said calmly.

This man, was the most common type of slave, a slave brought in by war or a prisoner of war.

"What's your name?"

"Stephen!"

Zhang Tie glanced at Da Vinci. Da Vinci quickly found a contract from the stack of slave sales contracts in his hand, took it out, and handed it to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie took it over and looked at it. The photo above is the man in front of him.

"You are free!" Zhang Tie handed the man's contract to him. The man took the contract with his remaining hand, looked at Zhang Tie for two seconds, and then directly stuffed the contract into himself. In his mouth, he chewed hard, swallowed, and then a smile appeared on his face...

"I will remember you!" The man put down these words, then turned and left.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Tie stopped him.

The man turned around and looked at Zhang Tie with vigilance in his eyes, "Why, have you repented, or are you masters trying to play tricks again?"

Zhang Tie flicked his hand, and a gold coin drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the man, who grabbed it with one hand.

"This is your travel fare!"

Holding the gold coin in his hand, the vigilance in the man's eyes turned into an indescribably complicated look. He didn't speak, but just pursed his lips. After nodding to Zhang Tie, he turned and left.

The other slaves widened their eyes one by one, looking at the leaving man and Zhang Tie with a calm face.

Another slave mustered up his courage and stepped out.

"What is your name?"

"Fit!"

...

After the slave named Feite left with his contract of selling himself and a gold coin from Zhang Tie, more slaves rushed towards Zhang Tie.

There were more than seventy slaves, and in the end, after getting their contract of selling themselves and a gold coin, the only ones who stayed behind were three.

Of these three people, one is a hunchbacked old man in his sixties or even looks about seventy years old, the other is the woman with several horrible burn marks on her face that was auctioned off with ten gold coins when Zhang Tie arrived, and the other A man in his thirties, with a thin build and a dazed expression.

After seeing the others leave, the old man sighed, and handed Zhang Tie the sale contract and a gold coin again, which surprised Zhang Tie.

"My lord, please keep me. I'm still useful. I can guard the gate, feed the horses, and inform you. If necessary, I can still kill people with a knife. Just treat it as an old dog. When I'm alive You can reward me with a few mouthfuls of leftover soup and rice, and if you die, you can throw me wherever you want, even if you chop me up and feed it to dogs or pigs, I won’t cause you any trouble!”

The old man's voice was hoarse, and Zhang Tie was slightly moved by the miserable wrinkles on his face. Zhang Tie sighed and handed the gold coin to him again.

"Clean yourself up, buy some decent clothes, and then go to Yunju Mountain on Qianlong Island. Where there is a castle under construction, you can go there and show me the gate!"

The old man knelt down, kissed Zhang Tie's shoes, and then left with a gold coin.

The old man left, and the woman left after taking a look at Zhang Tie.

When Zhang Tie said the word "castle", there seemed to be a light in the eyes of the thin man with a dazed face.

"What else do you need?" Zhang Tie asked him patiently.

"You have a castle, you are rich, and you have the ability, as long as you can help me with one thing, I... I... will listen to you... I will do whatever you want me to do..." The dazed man came to his senses all of a sudden, knelt down and hugged one of Zhang Tie's feet, like a drowning man hugging something, and said incoherently with excitement.

Zhang Tie laughed dumbfounded, wondering if this guy's head was burned out, "You are a slave I just gave you freedom, if I want you to do something, I won't give you freedom, you still have to listen to me , what value are you to me, is it worth asking me to do something for you?"

The man opened his mouth as if struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze, his expression returning to despair and bewilderment.

Zhang Tie looked at the crying man, shook his head, turned around and left, every slave has a tragic past of every slave, he is not God, it is impossible to satisfy everyone's request.

When Zhang Tie turned around, the man burst into tears.

...

"Ferry... Galen... Mom and Dad, please forgive me, I am too useless, I haven't been able to avenge you for so long... Don't worry, even if I am smashed to pieces this time... I must go back... Find Keen... Even if he is the shepherd leader now, I will stab him with a sword if I die. If I die, our family can be reunited..."

The man first blamed himself while crying, and then started talking to himself as if praying and making up his mind. The man spoke Siberian, which most people might not understand, but Zhang Tie could hear it clearly. When the word "Da Muling" came to the word, Zhang Tie, who had already walked twenty steps away, stopped suddenly and walked back again.

Zhang Tie looked at this guy again, "Are you from the Sun God Dynasty?"

The man kneeling on the ground raised his red eyes, looked at Zhang Tie, and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I am a member of the Sun God Dynasty, and I used to be a priest who devoutly served the God of Radiance..."

Zhang Tie became interested, "Then how did you end up in this situation?"

"They chose me as an alternate pastor, but they wanted me to use the blood and life of an innocent child to complete the sacrificial ceremony to become a pastor. I couldn't bear it, and I tampered with the ceremony, leaving the The child died, and was later betrayed by my best friend, so he was called a heretic and a blasphemer by them, and my family was also implicated. The person who betrayed me was finally completed in front of me, using my youngest brother The sacrificial ceremony for him to become the shepherd, Galen is only six years old..."

Having said that, the man covered his face between his hands in pain, and wept again.

This is an old-fashioned story. In the Sun God Dynasty, such things happen every year. What Zhang Tie didn't expect was that he would meet a person from the Sun God Dynasty here.

"Is that Keen who betrayed you? What is his current position?"

"Yes, that's him. When I escaped from the Sun God Dynasty, he was already a three-star shepherd leader. Now, more than ten years have passed, he may have become a moon-level shepherd leader!" Having said that, the man raised his head. Looking at Zhang Tie, a ray of hope ignited again, "I know you are rich, and if you have money, you can hire a killer. As long as you can kill that person, you can ask me to do anything..."

Zhang Tie shook his head, "Do you know how much it will cost me to hire a killer to go to the Sun God Dynasty to kill a great shepherd who is in power there, and how much risk I will take? Do you think your current value allows me to do this for you? ?"

The man was silent, speechless.

"Now I will give you a chance to prove your value to me. You heard what I said to that person just now. You can also go to Qianlong Island. When you make me feel worth doing for you, I will Just have Keane's head brought to you!"

"I'm going to Qianlong Island!" The man kneeling on the ground showed a firm light in his eyes, then he stood up resolutely and left here.

Da Vinci was crying, and finally knew why curiosity killed the cat. At this moment, he wished to slap his two big mouths hard, and then blocked his ears with cement. He had already left just now, why did he follow him? It's none of Zhang Tie's business to turn back.

Zhang Tie looked at him with a half-smile...

"I didn't hear anything?" Da Vinci said to Zhang Tie with a bitter face. He stayed with Zhang Tie for almost an afternoon. At this time, he discovered the terrible scheming in Zhang Tie's smile, and unconsciously put him They all fell into it.

As long as I don't hear this, no matter how big this matter is in the future, no matter how big the trouble is, it will be a matter of Huaiyuantang and the Sun God Dynasty at worst, let them pinch it, and now that I am here, I will give myself It got involved, in the eyes of these people, which onion is he?

"Do you know what to do in the future?" Zhang Tie asked Da Vinci.

Da Vinci nodded with a wry smile... (to be continued [this text is provided by the dawn update groupx-on:为早生生]. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (m) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, yours Support is my greatest motivation.)
