Komya Island, Ghost Knife Harbor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the flickering lights, the veteran Yorke said goodbye to his co-workers who had just returned from the quarry, and returned to his house, a room made of stone, about thirty or forty square meters.

York is a veteran, an old bachelor who used to live in Hanhai Fort - nearly forty people are still alone, what is not an old bachelor?

A few months ago, when the orcs invaded, he and some of the soldiers in Hanhai Fort had been drafted by Governor Ozer to fight the orcs from the east. Whether the war was won or not, he didn't know, because not long after the battle began, he fainted with a hammer on the head.

He thought he was going to die, but he didn't. When I woke up, I was already in the orc prisoner of war camp.

After spending more than half a month in an orc prisoner of war camp, York and some other surviving orc captives were sold into slavery by a half-orc trader, who was soon loaded onto ships to be shipped to the Duchy of Florence and beyond.

At that time, York felt that he had been gray for the rest of his life. He had seen the miserable life of a slave without freedom and without human rights, and he felt that if he had to live like this for the rest of his life, it would be worse than death.

After a week or two on the ship, the slave ship ran into a pirate, and then he was sold to Ghost Knife Harbor.

By the time he arrived in Komya, he was even more desperate. If you are sold into this desolate land, what good fruit can you eat?

Later, when he was assigned to work as a laborer in the quarry, he was in despair. If slaves also have a high status, then the status of a slave is almost the lowest and worthless. Doing the hardest work, being whipped by the overseer, not treating people as human beings, working for a few years because of overwork, dying of overwork...... He had almost foreseen his tragic fate.

But things seem to have turned out a little differently.

He first had a house to live in, although, according to Secretary Tommy, the house was rented to him and required him to pay rent; Secondly, the rent of the house allows for an advance payment of the salary of the work. Later, when he learned that he did not have to pay additional money and that he could be granted free status as long as he had worked in Komyrja for one year, he was even more different.

What's more, he didn't seem to be treated like a slave, no one whipped him while he worked, and he could have had a drink at the newly opened tavern in Ghost Knife Harbor every night after his work. Even, when there is a ship coming from the port during the weekly break, all the temporary wages I get from working as a porter go into my pocket.

Isn't such a day a free man except for the title of a slave on his head, and he can't cancel it until he has worked for a year?

A month ago, he was dreaming that he would be able to get back on a ship when he was free again in a year. And now, he doesn't think so anymore. He felt that there was nothing wrong with staying here, although the work in the quarry was very hard, but the salary was not low, and after paying the rent of the house, buying the necessary food and living soldiers, there was still a lot left, and he went to drink a small glass of ale every day, especially the special Komyrya, which was simply a delicacy in the world, and a very good life, much better than when he was a soldier before.

What's more, there is one more person here who is worthy of his stay.

Pushing open the room, looking at a freshly baked bread on the table, and the broth that was still steaming next to it, he remembered the woman with the child who lived not far away, two rooms apart.

After dinner, it was a bit boring to be alone in the house. He looked at the empty basket and clay bowl and thought of the woman again.

With a move in his heart, York stood up, picked up the basket and clay bowl, pushed open the door, and walked three and two steps to another room made of bluestone, and knocked on the wooden door.

The door is opened, and a little girl shows her cute head.

York tried his best to make a kind expression: "Little Nit, where is your mother Anthea?" ”

Little Nit opened the door completely and said, "My mother said that there is a new batch of cloth in the textile factory today, and she has to work overtime to spin into clothes, and the clothing store is in great demand. ”

"Oh oh......" York said, a little disappointed, "that ...... Thank you for the food your mom sent me, it was delicious. ”

After that, he scratched his head, looking reluctant to go, not wanting to leave but having to go.

The little girl smiled slyly and said, "Uncle York, my mother should be back soon, why don't you wait here for a while?" ”

York immediately stopped, saying, 'That's embarrassing,' and turned into the house.

……

While York was waiting for someone he missed, Tommy and Faro Sr. were in the lobby of Ghost Knife Harbor exchanging information about the recent developments in Orinadus and Ghost Knife Harbor.

It's just that this kind of communication is not very ...... Peace.

Tommy put his chin in his hands and said solemnly to Faro, who was sitting in front of him, "The construction of the Ghost Knife Harbor is at a critical juncture, we still have some resources to be able to transform all the houses into stone and wood structures, the workers in the quarries need to be paid, and the newly established clothing handicraft factory needs to buy more looms and wool. At the same time, we also plan to further build a jam factory, and we also need to turn the crops produced in the fields around Moon Well Six into real edible food, which means that the bakery is also essential, and these need further resources, Falo, the resources you have given are too few to be enough! ”

Fallo shook his head and said: "Two thousand gold coins is almost the limit, although the Komyrya wine produced this time is selling well, and we have also used the preservation technology to export a certain amount of fruit, but the funds returned to the cage must further support the expansion of the Moon Well, whether it is to reclaim farmland or orchard planting, the help of the Moon Well is indispensable." Before leaving, Dane also gave an order to reserve a certain amount of resources so that when he returned, all the buildings in Orinertus should be rebuilt and upgraded as soon as possible, and I couldn't give you more. ”

The two of them are arguing about the development needs and resource allocation of Ghost Knife Harbor and Orinadu! (To be continued.) )
