"Graeme! Graeme! Wake up! ”

The young slave shook the fainted slave and kept calling his name, but the other party did not respond, the expression on his sallow face was slightly distorted, and his lips were covered with chapped and dead skin.

Shepard walked up to him and stopped the young slave from moving: "He's very weak now, don't shake him!" He took out a water bladder, fed the unconscious Gramm, and pinched him, but to no avail.

Seeing this, he pretended to press his heart for Graim, and secretly released a healing magic for him, and the anxious young slave on the side did not notice it at all by the light and movement.

As the magic took effect, Gramm's expression became calm, and he subconsciously swallowed the water that was fed to him, Shepard gently put him down, and said to the young slave, "Okay, he should be fine." ”

"Thanks, how did you do that?" The young slave looked at Shepard in surprise and confusion, patted his head and said, "By the way, my name is Lucian!" ”

"Hello Lucian, I'm Shepard." Shepard rubbed his hands together and said unconcernedly, "It's nothing, I've learned some of this before." ”

"Awesome, the Makere people don't understand this, those madmen!" Lucian scolded, "Those madmen only have killing and being killed in their minds, whether we are sick or fainting, they will kill us directly when they see it!" It's good to have you, alas, Gramm's job may not be finished. ”

Shepard looked at Lucian, and suddenly had an intuition, and subconsciously said, "I'll help him do it!" ”

Lucien was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Okay, it just so happens that mine is almost finished, I'll come over and help you when I'm done!" You're not a slave in charge of farming, are you? ”

"No," Shepard said casually, "I'm delivering a letter, and it's okay today." ”

After asking Lucian what to do, Shepard went down to the field and continued to work with Gramm, and Lucian did what he said, and after more than half an hour he finished his own work, came to help Shepard, and finally did everything when the sun went down.

At this time, Graham also woke up, grateful to the two men who had saved him, and Lucian helped him up, let him put his arm around his neck, and then invited Shepard: "Shepard! Let's have a meal together, I still have half a boar hind leg that I secretly hidden! ”

Shepard smiled and agreed.

There were not only the three of them for dinner, but also three human slaves who were also called by Lucian, all of whom seemed to be quite convinced of him, and Lucian was obviously the leader of the five.

The Makeley kept the slaves free, and only took care of them when they were collecting food and hunting trials, and they would also conduct patrols and smokings to maintain the fear of the slaves, and Lucian's small group should have consisted of eight people, and three of them had met the Markrays the day before for a coming-of-age hunt and became the prey of the hunting trial.

Although there was no knife to cut the wild boar, Lucian managed to divide the wild boar meat into several pieces with the scythe of the harvest, throw it into the pot and mix it with some wild vegetables, cook it, and eat it with dry and hard dry cakes, which was already a rare delicacy for the slaves.

Shepard was not interested in it, but he was also eating it with the others, and the adventurers were not picky eaters, regardless of whether they were gods or mortals behind this identity.

Lucian burped, and several people were sitting on the ground around the hanging pot, and he leaned against a tree stump behind him, and whispered to the others, "Roba, they are all dead...... Damn the Makerés, how's your contact? ”

The three men he called looked at each other, and one named Hukan said, "Lucian, you know, the slaves are afraid of the Markrays......"

"Coward!" Lucian took a sip, saw that Hukan was very ashamed, and added: "Hukan, I know you are a warrior!" I don't blame them either, every slave is afraid of the Makerés! But even so, we should not give up the courage to resist! ”

'This guy...... Are you trying to force me to join the gang? Shepard looked at Lucian with a smirk, and he used the shadows to hide his facial expression, and found that the little leader of the slaves was more assertive and ambitious than he had expected.

The remaining two people were dejected and saying that they had gained nothing, while Grim was gasping for breath to rest, Lucien looked around, a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes, and looked at Shepard with anticipation: "Shepard! What about you? I know you're scared of the Makere too! But do you still have the courage to fight for freedom in your heart?! ”

Shepard silently raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly, "No, I'm not afraid of the Markrays. ”

Lucien's expression was stunned, and then he said excitedly: "Really? Great, I didn't expect you to be such a brave person! Would you like to join us? We're all planning to organize the slaves to rebel against the Markrays! ”

"Oh? Do you have any preliminary plans? Like how to convince other slaves? How do I get a weapon? When and under what circumstances did the uprising take place? What happens after the successful revolt? What happens after the failed revolt? ”

Shepard spit out one question after another with interest, and Lucian's face became more and more ugly, and finally with a cold sweat on his head, he replied with difficulty: "We, the other slaves, must also yearn for freedom......"

"Yes, they long for freedom, and they long for someone to lead them to freedom......" Shepard said in a frivolous tone, but it seemed to mean something.

Lucian lost his mind for a moment, and suddenly he threw himself in front of Shepard, and asked in a very earnest and eager voice: "Shepard!" You know how to do it, don't you? Please teach me! We are willing to do your bidding! ”

Several other people were stunned when they saw Lucian's movements, and then when they heard what Lucien said, they all shouted: "Yes, yes! Shepard: Do you have a way? ”

"If you have a way, you can tell us!"

"Yes! We all listen to you! ”

Shepard looked around, put his hand on Lucian's shoulder, and said in a light tone, "Lucian, you sit back first." ”

Lucian said eagerly, "But we ......"

......Seeing Shepard looking at him expressionlessly, Lucian obediently resumed his sitting position.

"Very well, it seems that the life of a slave has honed your endurance." Shepard leaned forward slightly and looked at Lucian with a smile, "I can teach you, Lucian, but I can't lead you. ”

"What?" Lucian was stunned when he heard this, "Then who can?" ”

"You."

Shepard looked at Lucian, and a compassionate smile full of divine stick felt like an epiphany from the oracle of the Apocalypse appeared on his face, and said in a tone like a chant: "Lucian! You know, I see the light in you! That light is the light of hope, the light of freedom! It is this light that I have drawn to you to tell you the truth you should know, to make you a leader, to redeem those whom you want to redeem! ”

Everyone was taken aback by his tone, and Hu Kan said in disbelief: "You, aren't you joking?" ”

Shepard glanced at him, only continued to look at Lucian, and asked seriously, "Lucian!" Tell me frankly, do you have a desire in your heart to lead the people to freedom? Do you have the blood to be a leader? ”

Lucian looked at Shepard a little nervously, but saw encouragement and recognition in those sky-blue eyes as clear and pure as lake water, and his heart suddenly became hot, and he blurted out: "Yes! Yes! ”

"Great!" Shepard clapped his hands and continued to say in the chant version, "Yes! You're the one I'm going to find! I saw the light, I saw the hope, and then I saw you, and I knew that you were the one who was foreshadowed! ”

"Foreshadowing...... What the? Lucien looked confused.

"Foreshadowing, you will be the king of this land, let your people free from the brutal butchers, breathe the free sky, and cultivate and harvest in the land that belongs to you!"

Shepard looked at them and said, "Lucian, think about it!" You will have brave warriors who will shed blood for you! You will have many beautiful women and give birth to countless offspring for you! Your land is vast, your wealth is innumerable, don't you want this? ”
