The purchase of a sick serf brought losses to the Blackstone Collar, and the always shrewd Karrick turned a gloomy face and glared angrily: "It is impossible for a person who is good at lying to be loyal! You have deceived me, and you will have to pay for it." ”

Serfs are the private property of the lord, and life and death are all at the whim of the lord, even lower than livestock.

The father trembled and protected the child behind him, and his knees slumped to the ground: "Please, spare my child, I am willing to accept any punishment." ”

Looking at the father who was trying his best to protect his children, Alice was touched by the sadness and thought of her father. In addition, she was originally kind-hearted and was about to forgive them.

Who knew that the child who had been hiding behind his father unexpectedly came out, stretched out his thin arms, and bravely blocked his father. Under the knotted and messy hair, the dirty little face was raised high, and the voice trembled but did not hesitate: "My lord, please do not punish my father, no matter how heavy the work is, I am willing." I promise to eat less and do more farm work, and I'll be worth your gold. ”

"Elena. ”

Her father grabbed her and tried to pull her back. But the little girl's stubbornness was unexpected, her thin body was unwavering, and on her dirty face, only a pair of brown and black pupils were extraordinarily bright: "Even at night, I can continue to work." I'm not afraid of the dark, I can pull weeds, cut hay, even if it's heavy work like transporting manure. ”

Although his body was weak, his fists were clenched tightly. Her bravery not only surprised Alice, but even Carrick was stunned, he didn't expect a serf child to have such courage.

"Your name is Elena, isn't it?" Alice's gaze looked up and down at Elena, who was about her height, and her tone was calm, "You can see that you are very brave and love your father." ”

"Elena Quinn, my lord. Elena's tone was agitated and sad, "My father, Dalin Quinn, was a craftsman in the Golden Diamond and Black Anvil Society of Waterwater, and was not born a serf. But for offending the shameless aristocracy, my mother disappeared, my father had his property and tools confiscated, and six fingers were broken, depriving him of his status as a freeman, and it was sentenced that he could never engage in the artisan trade. In the end, he was sold to the serf trader Quettane, where he was humiliated and tortured. ”

Stonemasonry, blacksmithing, carpenter, goldsmithing, and lapidary were all legitimate occupations in the kingdom of Tia, and most of them were freemen, owned private property, and could join the artisan guild. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are respected, and even in the eyes of the ruling class, they are a very important group, representing the standard of living and production of a city.

One of the conditions that the Duke of Ceylon gave to Lyne's steward was that his son Stahn should be reinstated as a freeman and become a blacksmith's apprentice.

Of course, even if he is a craftsman, once he has a conflict with the nobles who occupy an absolute dominant position, he has no ability to resist at all.

"I sympathize with your plight. Alice nodded, and from Elena's indifferent eyes, there seemed to be a hidden hostility towards the nobles: "You hate the nobles very much, right?"

"I hate those lowly and mean, cold-blooded and cruel, shameless nobles!" Elena looked directly at Alice.

"Elena, shut up!" her father rushed anxiously, took her in his arms, and looked at Alice's expression in fear: "My lord, please forgive her for her nonsense. She's just a kid who doesn't understand anything!"

Alice smiled disapprerovingly: "What she said is not wrong, those lowly and despicable, cold-blooded and cruel, shameless nobles should be hated." ”

Huh?

Dalin's eyes were stunned, and even Elena showed a stunned expression. In Waterdeep, the nobles collude with each other and have the same ugly faces, all of them are the same raccoon dogs.

"Uncle Karrick, arrange a place for them to live, a full meal. And let's clean it up. Alice showed a quality that was different from that of other nobles: "Those cunning serf traders will not return the gold coins. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Karrick glared at Dalin's father and daughter angrily, deceiving the nobles and colliding with the nobles were all unforgivable crimes.

Dai Lin, who had been pardoned, hurriedly pressed Elena's shoulder and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness." Quick, Elena, thank you for your kindness. We will work hard to repay you for your kindness. ”

Alice waved her hand and looked at Elena, who was biting her lip and refusing to speak, "Are you sick?" I'm afraid that a body like yours will be blown away by a gust of wind. ”

Under Elena's incredulous gaze, Alice smiled and left the barn. This little episode did not make any waves in her heart, and a thin child had little effect on the autumn harvest.

Tools, tools are the most important thing!

......

Qin Song admired Alice's bearing and demeanor very much, and she did not rely on her status as a nobleman to oppress and bully these poor serfs, although this was her power. But what interested him even more was that this child named Elena should be about the same age as Alice, judging by the name, a girl.

First hunch...... It's possible that she's a witch.

She is also a witch with a strong and stubborn personality who is not afraid of the powerful, which may come from her previous status as a free man and the oppression of the Quinn family by the nobles.

Of course, it's just a hunch. Not every girl has the potential to be a witch, and there are often failures in the game.

This feeling is both a little anticipation and a sudden bit of blissful troubles. Now every night, running around Alice and Linda's dreams, and knocking on Lien from time to time, makes him tired. Coupled with an Elena who doesn't know where she lives yet, he is estimated to have been in the process of running away all night.

It's time for another wave of upgrades, and the main role of [Resonance Thalamus] is the creation of dreams. In order to transcend space and dive into dreams, another important organ is needed. If memory serves, it will appear when the completeness reaches 5%.

This is one of the most important 'brains' of the Elder Gods, whose main function is to realize the mental connection between dreams, offspring and relatives, ignoring the obstacles of space.

[The dream god of the innocent girl, the master of a thousand witches, the remnant essence of Krem]

[Completeness]: 4%

[Tiredness]: 47%

[Mental Value]: 23

Among them, the Eye of Insight Lv2, the Resonant Thalamus Lv2, the Splinter Tentacle Lv1, and the [Eye of Favor] (not yet owned): 4% completeness and 20 Mind Value.

The mental value is advanced enough, but Qin Song's consideration is that in the game, he is eager to collect more witches and walk freely through the dream realm. After unlocking the [Eyes of Mercy], he almost did not continue to level up, but instead invested his mind in other organs.

But now, it's a reality. We have to reconsider the value of the Eye of Care. The Dream Walker is the exclusive family of Krem, who comes from the Void Dream Realm and possesses an independent mind, absolute loyalty, and resolute execution.

The early dreamwalker spirit, a weak chicken with a simple mind, can only possess animals and carry out simple commands. It's a chicken rib in the game. But after a failed trip to the ocean during the day, Qin Song suddenly came up with another wonderful idea.

Controlling the jackals, tigers and leopards, at best, only adds a little bit of combat power. But what if it is replaced by a creature that can swim in the sea? Just give it a simple command, such as looking for a shipwreck, it may be able to replace Qin Song, wander in the dark deep sea, and faithfully carry out the order.

Qin Song seemed to see a large pile of shiny gold coins, and was scratching his head at him: "Come on, be happy! Anyway, there are a lot of gold coins!"
