Chapter 892 Buying Slaves
"Oh, that's it." Yura's tone was as calm as boiled water.
I was confused. Yura’s reaction was too different from what I expected. Logically speaking, the Brave Guild can be regarded as her mother guild. It is similar to the concept of her alma mater. If her alma mater is dirty, as a former student, I will still I feel a little lost, not to mention the mother guild I am fighting for for the first time in my life!
"Yura, the Brave Guild has ceased to exist in name only, don't you feel a little bit uncomfortable?" I reminded her: "For example, feeling lost?"
"No," Yura confirmed.
"No?" I was even more confused: "That's your mother guild. You teach and educate people there, and cultivate a new generation of successors for the Brave Guild."
"Those are just my jobs," Yura said: "Although I teach and educate people, and although I train the next generation of successors for the guild, I don't have any feelings for the Brave Guild. Maybe I only have feelings for Harold. , well he’s a bit like my father.”
After hearing Yura's extremely serious words, I was a little speechless.
I never expected that such a popular heroic guild would end up in disarray with no emotional ties at all. Moreover, when the guild leader was in trouble, the team members who had flattered him at the time did not come to clarify for the president, but instead united together. Together they persecuted him and expelled him. When the president was in exile, only a few people stayed with him. How could such a guild survive?
"It's better to have a guild with feelings." I couldn't help but sigh: "At least it won't add insult to injury."
"Are you saying that I'm adding insult to injury?" Yura narrowed his eyes and smiled charmingly: "Yeah~brother~"
"How is it possible?" I hurriedly explained: "You have joined my guild before Harold left Airui City. This has nothing to do with adding insult to injury. When I say adding insult to injury, I refer to those who are still hanging around in the Brave Guild in Airui City. Guys who are waiting to die, they betrayed their president and the oaths they made, just to gain their current glory."
After listening to my words, Yura sighed: "Speaking of which, I am quite sympathetic to Harold's experience, but he was betrayed by one of his own people."
"Eh? You know?"
She nodded and said: "When Harold was imprisoned, I received an email from my sister, but unfortunately, my family is too weak to save him."
After hearing this, I asked puzzledly: "A single person is weak? Aren't you Rodney's cousin?"
"Rodney has many cousins," Yura said, "In Airey City, any family that is closely related to the nobility has some relationship with the Carter family."
"In other words, the top management of Airei City are all members of the Carter family?"
"That's it."
I scoffed at this: "No wonder it's so corrupt."
Yura shook his head and said: "Corruption is a phenomenon that exists everywhere. It's just that some places have stricter management and the degree of corruption is lighter. Some places have looser management and the degree of corruption is higher."
Cagalli raised her hand and said, "Well, I agree with this point of view."
After that, they began to talk about politics based on their respective opinions.
I was stunned for a moment while listening, and I didn’t even understand how the topic changed from the issue of raising orphans to a political forum.
By the way, is it really okay for you to talk about the dark side of politics in such a big way? Don’t you know there’s a little loli sitting next to me who listens with gusto? You will lead your children's thoughts to the dark side of society in advance!
The above are all my weak complaints in my heart, but I can't say them out loud. The reason is simple: interrupting the fiancées' hot conversation and commenting on the ugly new clothes they bought are the same.
The next few days were uneventful, except for daily sparring and daily abuse, without any disturbance.
Just when I felt that my life was about to be submerged by this dull period, I received a letter from Airui City. The content of the letter was very simple. The second young master took Achilles and his group into the forest again. .
This must be the third time they have set foot in the forest. Speaking of which, the reason why the second young master is so obsessed with this is definitely not because he is an adventure enthusiast, but more because of his secret conspiracy.
Although I knew there was a conspiracy hidden in it, my heart was as still as water, without any ripples.
To be honest, I always feel that the city lord and the eldest young master are most threatened by the second young master's move. As for the third young master Rodney, this guy is now a little adventurer in Dashai City, and no one knows him.
But think about it, it seems that I haven’t been to Dasai City for a while, and I don’t know what this woman Jin Siqi will do with the New Valiant Guild.
During this period, Lilea told me that the matter of taking in the orphans of Dashai City was going quite smoothly. All this was thanks to the group of rogue adventurers in Airei City. Without their harassment and killing, my plan would not have been possible. so smoothly.
After listening to Lillea's words, I always felt strange, as if the rogue adventurer was driven by me.
I asked Lilea: "How many orphans have been taken in now?"
Lilea said: "There are currently less than twenty."
"Eh? Can you call it a success if there are less than twenty?"
I was very surprised. This number was quite different from what I imagined. I thought it would be at least a hundred.
"It's going very well," Lillea said: "The orcs attach the most importance to raising children. Even if there is only one relative left, they will never abandon their children because of the pressure of life, unless both parents are dead."
"Both parents are dead. It's so cruel." I sighed, "They are still just children, hey, this damn desire, this evil war."
"There is no way around this," Lillea said, "Actually, you have done a good deed. If those helpless children are not taken in, there are usually only two endings: death of starvation and illness, or being Sold into slavery.”
“Forcing these children, who may have nothing to do with the profession of adventurers all their lives, into the quagmire of adventurers, and training them to become assassins who obey my orders, this approach feels like buying slaves. "
"This is different," Lillea said: "You have never been in contact with the nobles in Airui City, and you don't know how dirty they are. Generally speaking, they will choose orphans with delicate figures and beautiful faces to buy into the mansion. An inhumane training, training them into mindless slaves for the entertainment of themselves or their cronies. This kind of behavior is the real dirty, dirty and inhumane buying of slaves. As for your approach, at most It’s like expanding your subordinates.”
