After returning to Madame Jungfi's mansion, Ramogis led Mel to the drawing-room, where she sat opposite him. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"How does it feel?"

On the way, the two of them took medicine candy again just in case, but they walked halfway, and the owner of the mansion really sent someone to catch up. He wondered how long "Miss Tajimi" would stay in Oogusburg, and Ramogis casually coped with the servant who had caught up, and then the servant hurried back.

Now the effect of the medicinal sugar has not been passed, so Ramogis still speaks in the voice of a mature woman. Instead of answering Ramorgis's question, Maier asked him in a pleasant female voice with a frown.

"Your Majesty, who is the owner of that mansion?"

"It doesn't matter." Ramogis shrugged, "You just need to know that he is the chief minister of the Kingdom of Egus, and he doesn't have much real power, but he has a lot of private soldiers and a lot of money, and that's enough." ”

"The man who attended the banquetβ€”"

"Some people are powerful people in the kingdom of Egus, and they also have no real power, but their personal strength should not be underestimated. The rest are officials and wealthy businessmen, who are just foils. ”

"Do they often hold banquets like this?"

"I went to the same level of banquet yesterday, but the host is not the same person." "Sometimes there are several banquets in the South City at the same time in one night, and it's very lively. ”

With that, Ramogis took out another pill from his small pocket and put it in his mouth.

"You can eat another one, we'll have to go out in a while."

"Still going out?"

Mel's expression was as ugly as eating a fly, and Ramogis just smiled when he saw this.

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten to ask you."

Ten minutes later, Ramogis and Maier left Madame Jungfi's mansion again, accompanied by several guards. This time they did not take a carriage, but walked north like a walk. Unlike the brightly lit Southtown, there was not much light in the North, with the guards leading the way with lanterns in front and Maier and Ramogis following behind.

"Miss Tajimi, if I'm not mistaken, you were just a merchant when you last came to Γ–gusburg?"

Ramorgis's question stunned Maier for a moment, then he nodded and replied.

"That's right."

"After my daughter went to you, I took the time to look into your experience. Before you became a trader, you were a bounty hunter. In fact, I've always been curious, since you have a great father and a noble mother, why do you want to break into society with your own strength? ”

"Uh...... This ......"

"You just have to say what you really think."

"Actually, at first I just wanted to see how far I could go." Maier replied with a wry smile, "When I know more people, the burden on my body becomes heavier and heavier, and before I know it, I no longer live for myself." As for how far I can go, I don't care at all. ”

Maier's answer caused Ramogis to narrow. He quickly opened his eyes and said in a flirtatious voice.

"A lot of people have the same idea at the beginning of their struggles, and the vast majority of them, like you, have just achieved a little bit and then left behind their original intentions. But unlike you, these people are just reveling in their accomplishments and just want to live for themselves. And you chose to take on the burden of other people and live with them. In my opinion, this is the quality that a human being should have. Because only when this kind of person becomes a superior person, the life of the subordinate will become happier and happier. ”

"If a group of selfish people are allowed to be superior, they will become a tool for their personal gain. These people can only make fun of suffering, comforting themselves by saying that all kinds of misfortunes in life are just to make people realize the preciousness of happiness. As everyone knows, some people were born with gold and died in a coffin of pure gold, and they didn't know how to write the word 'bitter'. They live a life of drunkenness, using all the means they can think of to have fun, being born in pleasure and dying in pleasure, and they are very happy. ”

At this point, Ramogis suddenly stopped. He found a random house and asked the guards to knock on the door. Because it was getting late, the family had already rested. The man who was woken up opened the door with his face tightly wrinkled, but when he saw the guard in leather armor and carrying a short sword, he immediately nodded and smiled.

"Do you have anything to do with the little people?"

"I just want to rest at your house."

As Ramogis spoke, the guards stepped aside to let the man see the two "beauties" in front of the door.

"Uh...... This one...... The small house is quite tattered, I'm afraid it will dirty the shoes of the adults......"

"It doesn't matter, we're not afraid of getting dirty."

Ramogis gave the guards a look, and the guards pushed the man into the courtyard without saying anything. Ramogis walked unhurriedly into the door, and Mel hurried after him.

Because a distinguished guest forcibly came to the door, the man was escorted into the courtyard, and immediately ran back to wake up his wife and children and asked them to come out to entertain the guests. The man took out the best two chairs in the house, wiped them and wiped them, and then brought them to Ramogis and Mel.

Maier heard the sound of the kitchen washing the dishes and knew that it was the hostess who was preparing the house for the guests. There were eight children in the family, all girls, and while the hostess was busy in the kitchen, the girls all came out to meet the guests. Seeing that the children were yellow and thin, and looked malnourished, Maier couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"My lords, these are my daughters."

The man asked the girls to stand in front of Ramogis and Maier in order of size, and introduced them earnestly.

"Don't look at them thin, but they have a lot of strength, they are diligent and responsible, and they are all good materials for being maids!"

"Oh? Is it? ”

Ramogis looked at the girls' faces and nodded slightly.

"Well, in addition to being thin, the face is still very good. Let them hold out their hands. ”

The man immediately asked the daughters to stretch out their hands, first with the backs of their hands facing up, showing off their neatly cut nails, and then showing off their palms and calluses in their palms.

Ramogis looked at the girls' hands and nodded in satisfaction.

"How old are your daughters?"

"If you go back to adults, the oldest is thirteen years old, the youngest is six years old, and the middle ones are born with their shoulders on their shoulders. Later, because he couldn't afford to raise it, he didn't dare to give birth again. ”

"Are there no boys?"

"Back to adulthood, I've always wanted a boy, but I haven't. If there is a shortage of maids in the adult's house, choose a few pleasing ones to bring back, and if they don't choose, they will be treated as if they don't have this blessing. ”

"What do you say about the price?"

"The small people don't dare to ask for the adult's money, and the small people don't dare to ask for anything. As long as the daughter can eat enough and don't suffer too many grievances in the adult's house, Xiaomin will be satisfied. ”

"You're a good guy."

Ramogis smiled with relief, then pulled his face down.

"But have you thought about it, this subordinate who is not bought with money may not be cherished by the master. In case you meet a bad owner, it is possible to be killed casually because of a bad mood. ”

When the man heard this, his body trembled, and he immediately panicked.

"But don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Ramogis smiled and beckoned to the frightened pale-faced girls.

"Don't be afraid, come to me."

The girls looked at their father with a pleading gaze, and the man hesitated, but nodded. The girls walked up to Ramogis, and he stood up, touched their heads one by one, and smiled dotingly.

"They're all good boys." He turned his head to look at the man and said, "I want all these children." ”

He asked one of the guards to take the girls back to Madame Jungfi's mansion, and then took a few coins from his handbag and placed them on the table.

"It's 80 liel, and if you sell it, I'll sign it when they get to me. You take the money first, and then prepare us something to eat. Whatever you usually eat, you will give us what you usually eat. ”

The man looked at the money on the table and didn't dare to take it. He hurried to the kitchen and asked his wife to prepare food for the guests. Although Ramogis said that they would eat whatever they wanted, how dare the family let these rich people eat what they usually eat? The hostess asked the hostess to bring out the best things in the house to entertain the guests, so as not to upset the guests.

The hostess prepared a bowl of soup made of bacon for each of them, and green beans were placed in the soup. I also baked the oil cake with fine noodles and prepared pickles mixed with sugar. As soon as Ramogis saw the food being served, he knew that the man had not done what he had asked. But he didn't mind, and said to Mel with a smile.

"Miss Tajimi, this is the best meal for an ordinary family in Egusburg, and it is estimated that it can only be eaten during the New Year, what do you think?"

"Uh, so-so." Maier replied truthfully.

Ramogis smiled slightly, and asked the man again.

"How many slaves do you have?"

"Back to my lordship, there is a pair of slaves. Last year, there were two pairs and two pairs, and the old pair was sold at the end of last year, and at the beginning of the year, the family was in urgent need of money, so they sold the two small ones, and now only a pair of prime of life remains. ”

"But let's go see your slaves."

The man took them to the shed where the slaves lived, at the request of Ramogis. Ramogis looked at the young slaves and asked the man again.

"What does your feed look like?"

The man asked the hostess to take out a bucket from the warehouse, which contained a sticky paste. Ramogis pointed to the contents of the bucket and said to Meier, "What do you think of this being what an ordinary family in Egusburg gave to their slaves?" ”

By the light of the lantern, Maier frowned at the paste in the barrel, then sniffed it closer, and almost retched. But even with such food, the slaves in the shed still stared with bright eyes, and their eyes were full of longing.

Ramogis sighed softly when he saw that Maier did not speak. He asked his guards to bring out the meal prepared by the mistress and set it in front of the slaves. The slaves looked at the food in front of them, but they didn't dare to touch it. Ramogis gave the man a look, and although he felt distressed, he gave the slaves an order to eat the meals.

"You all remember me! These are the blessings that these adults have brought to you! ”

As the slaves gobbled up, the man yelled at them in an imposing manner.

"Give me a good job from now on! You must be worthy of what you ate today! ”

The slaves hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and then continued to eat with snot and tears.

Maier couldn't take it anymore, turned around and left the house. Ramogis gave one of the guards a look and told him to chase him out, then said calmly to the people who lived in the house.

"I am a subordinate of King Ramogis, and His Majesty the King sent me here. Remember ye the kindness of His Majesty the King and take good service to His Majesty, for this is your only reward to His Majesty. ”

After saying this, Ramogis left the stunned people behind and left with the escort.
