Chapter 157, Alice
Time passed, and Caesar did not pay special attention to the group of 'slaves', in his opinion, this group of so-called slaves was nothing more than a secret confrontation between the Holy See and the Roland Empire.
Anyway, this group of people was directly grounded in the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone, young and old, dressed in the same robe, was given only a loaf of bread and half a glass of milk per day.
It's not that Caesar wants to abuse them, it's not that he wants to feed so many people, and he won't need two gold coins a year, it's really Caesar's secret worry.
The best way to make a person incapacitated is to keep him in a state of weakness all the time.
And the seven so-called holy women have never left their cages during this period of time, anyway, they are kneeling in the cage and worshipping.
I don't know why, looking at them like this, Caesar always feels that they are brewing some kind of conspiracy.
On the tenth day after Caesar and the others came to Roland City, the girl who had been rescued by Caesar finally recovered.
Although the scars on his body were still there, with the help of Andalia, they had dimmed a lot, and his face had changed from pale to ruddy.
The so-called one white covers three ugliness, when the girl is groomed, it can be seen that her facial features are still very exquisite.
Dressed in the same robes as the other slaves, he slowly walked in under the leadership of Andalia.
"Master!"
The girl was a little timid, looking at the handsome Caesar, and she didn't know that her heart suddenly missed a beat.
She had passed out that day, so she didn't know what was going on, but according to Andalia's words, it was the handsome man in front of her who saved her from the brink of death for five gold coins.
She didn't know why this man would buy her for such a high price, she didn't deserve it at all as a slave.
Thinking of this, the girl's eyes were slightly red, Andalia didn't react for a while, the girl knelt on the ground on her knees, and kowtowed to Caesar three times in a row.
"Hey, you're ......"
Andalia was about to say something, but was stopped by Caesar.
"Raise your head, look me in the eye and tell me what's your name!"
Caesar looked at the girl's pale face and whispered.
The girl slowly raised her head, looked at Caesar, and said softly, "Master...... Slaves are not worthy of a name, and according to the laws of the country, all slaves are deprived of their names, including their descendants, unless given by their masters. ”
What kind of mess is this?
Are the people of the Roland Empire idle and have nothing to eat?
Caesar couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said, "What have you done, and why have you been reduced to a slave?"
After coming to the Roland Empire for such a long time, Caesar also roughly understood the class of the Roland Empire, which is roughly divided into three levels.
royal house
Aristocrats, commoners, slaves!
Magicians and Holy See are not counted among them.
The girl smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Master, it's not that I did the trick...... It was my great-grandfather, who was turned into a slave more than forty years ago, without knowing what had happened, and all of them, including my father, were reduced to slaves, and when I was born, I was already a slave. I have the impression that my great-grandfather was an orthodox Imperial Count. ”
Imperial Count?
Generally, nobles have a lot of special benefits, even many years ago, but even the earl was demoted to a slave?
It can't be that there has been a crime of treason or something!
"That'...... Why did that man say you stole that day?" Caesar asked.
Now Caesar is more and more curious about the girl in front of him, if he only felt pity for this girl before, so he saved her.
But now Caesar has a different idea, as a descendant of an earl, if this change had not happened to her family, perhaps the girl would still live a carefree life now, instead of becoming what she is now.
And Caesar also believed that she did not steal, a person who was about to be killed, and always insisted that he had not stolen, and that most of the people who chose her reputation were not the ones who stole and kidnapped.
"The host...... Trust me, I really didn't steal anything!"
The girl's words were full of affirmation.
Before Caesar, the girl's previous owner was a noble boy, a hereditary little nobleman, perhaps because of his young ambition, with the title of a viscount, and often played indiscriminately.
According to the girl's introduction, the viscount wandered in the taverns of the imperial capital every day, and returned to the mansion every night with different women, and each of these women was dressed in fancy clothes and scantily dressed.
Originally, everything was fine, and as a slave, the girl completed the tasks given to her by the housekeeper every day in the house.
This lasted until twelve days earlier.
The nobleman brought a different girl home every day, and everyone was used to it, but one day, when the nobleman woke up from a hangover, he found that the money bag he was carrying was gone.
Just as he ordered someone to search, the girl picked up a beautiful money bag among the flowers on the side.
As a slave, there is no salary, and when you encounter something you like, you can't buy it, and it's rare to let yourself pick up such a beautiful money bag, and the girl naturally wants to take it away by herself!
However, who knew that this money bag was actually the one where the nobleman was gone, and suddenly everyone in the whole house locked their eyes on the girl.
So there's the next thing!
Caesar kind of understood, this
It's a miracle that a noble boy can live until now, he brings all kinds of different girls home every day to do that, it's good that the money is lost, if it is premeditated, it is estimated that even the hereditary title will be taken away.
"So, you've been completely wronged?"
Andalia was helpless when she listened to it, it is estimated that everyone in the entire house knew that the money bag would not be taken by this slave, but when the noble lord was angry, and she happened to hold the money bag, everyone directly locked the sprouts on her.
After all, the life and death of a slave is nothing more than a matter of a nobleman's words.
Using a slave to curry favor with your own master is definitely worth it!
Whether it's true or not, just put a stolen hat on her head, and then the nobles first beat her up and got angry, and then returned it to the slave owner, who can only pay money to the nobles, so that the nobles don't lose at all!
And the slave owner sold the girl to Caesar, and the slave owner didn't seem to lose anything.
It's just that the girl was beaten up inexplicably, and she wore a stealing hat, and the slave really didn't have any human rights!
"Master, please believe me, I really won't steal, although I am a slave, but my ancestors are nobles, no matter how depraved I am, I will not degenerate to that extent, please believe me!"
As she spoke, the girl was about to kowtow to Caesar again.
"I believe you, if I don't believe you, why should I buy you back!"
Caesar glanced at Andalia, who immediately helped the girl up.
"I'm not from the Roland Empire, so I don't care about the laws of the Roland Empire, I'll name you Alice, from today onwards, you will be in charge of all the affairs of our house as a housekeeper, and the group of slaves outside are all your subordinates, if you want to kill, beat or scold, you can do it yourself!"
Caesar spoke quickly, as if the matter had already been decided, and without waiting for the girl to refuse, Caesar continued: "I bought you back with five gold coins, and you deducted three heads from me, counting you to repay me three gold coins, and the remaining two gold coins are your remaining salary this year, and your annual salary in the future is six gold coins a year!"
"No, no, no!" The girl listened to Caesar's words, and suddenly wanted to kneel down again, although she didn't know who Caesar was, but the person who bought so many slaves must be a rich master, how could she get so much as a slave?
"Okay, you don't have to say no. I've already decided on this!" Caesar gagged Alice directly.
Then he said to Andalia: "Andalia, Alice's affairs will be left to you, if that group of slaves is restless, you will assist Alice throughout the process, you know?"
"Good!"
Andalia knew who Caesar was, and he didn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
