"Castle Lord, these two are the two maids I carefully selected for you, each priced at a hundred gold coins, responsible for your daily life, and meet all your requirements, Gianna and Keya, you will be the private property of the castle lord in the future, and there is no resistance, otherwise, I think you should know better than me what the consequences will be." Gloria pointed to the two girls behind her, and handed the two contracts of sale to Zhuo Ao.

"See the master." A look of panic and fear flashed in the eyes of the two girls, and they saluted Zhuo Ao nervously.

"The appearance is quite good." Zhuo Ao ignored Old Jack, took the contract handed over by Gloria, put it on the table, looked at the two of them and said: "Such a big castle, it is impossible for the two of you to clean it, and I will be responsible for taking care of my personal life in the future, in addition, other things, others will do it, there is no need to worry about it." ”

"Yes." Seeing that Zhuo Ao was not a fierce and vicious appearance, the worried expressions of the two girls were eliminated a lot, and they nodded obediently.

"Forrest Master, with all due respect, you have no need to be so polite to them, they are now only your slaves." Gloria said indifferently.

"Everyone sees things differently, I don't want my castle to be dead all day, people are alive, you don't have to be so tired, do you? But thank you for the reminder, Miss Gloria, and you can go on and talk about what you have learned. Zhuo Ao shook his head, he would not force others to understand his own concepts, but he would also not force himself to cater to this era.

"Well, this is Chef Yali, who has a senior chef professional certification, and is not a slave, but a cook I specially hired, in charge of the food and drink in the castle, of course, it can't include these people." Gloria said, pointing to the group of slaves that Old Jack had brought back, and said, "Of course, in return, you must pay her five gold coins a month. ”

"That's acceptable." Zhuo Ao nodded and bowed slightly towards the middle-aged woman, "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Yali." "Gu Gong and slave are two completely different concepts, Gu Gong is a poor person, the two parties are only in an employment relationship, and they can leave at any time, while slaves, but have no human rights, belong to the master's private property, and even life belongs to the master.

"I wanted to hire four guards, but ......" Gloria looked at the group of people behind Old Jack, and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"Zhuoao, look at it, how are these people?" Old Jack excitedly handed a stack of deeds of sale to Zhuo Ao, and said loudly as if offering treasures: "200 strong slaves, but only 20 gold coins, except for food, we don't need to pay them any salary at all, and you look at them, so many people add up, isn't it comparable to a few guards?" ”

"My dear companion, can you tell me, how can I be kept safe by relying on these people?" Sitting in his seat, Zhuo Ao looked at the stack of identity contracts handed over by Old Jack as a treasure, it was a slave contract, as long as there were these things, then these two hundred people were Zhuo Ao's private property, Zhuo Ao had the right to make any demands on them, including asking for their lives, this is something certified by the Continental Convention and the Church of Light, once the slaves defected, these people would become the public enemies of the nobles of the entire continent, and no matter where they went, they would be ostracized and captured.

"But there are two hundred of them, and in any case, they are stronger than four guards!" Old Jack said dissatisfied.

"Please understand that the number of people sometimes does not represent combat effectiveness, although I have not learned any fighting skills and magic." Gloria looked at Old Jack and said with some annoyance: "You only provided two hundred surplus laborers for the castle, at least for now, our castle does not have so many jobs assigned to them, except for consuming our food, they have no meaning!" ”

"You haven't learned any fighting skills or magic, how do you know that they must be worse than the guards you have hired?" Old Jack whispered dissatisfiedly, for some reason, Zhuo Ao always felt that Old Jack was a little afraid of this girl who taught Gloria.

"Alright." Zhuo Ao picked up the contract of two hundred cheap laborers and tore them up casually: "Old Jack, Gloria is right, Gloria's words just now are already an insult to a man, but you look at their eyes, except for numbness, I can't see any emotion, such a group of people, let alone two hundred, even if it is two thousand, I have a way to kill them all by myself." ”

"Oh my God, Zhuo Ao, why do you want to compare yourself to this group of lowly slaves, you are a genius warrior who can defeat the siege of ten elite Bantu Empire!" Old Jack said quickly.

Hearing this, Gloria glanced at Zhuo Ao unexpectedly, but behind Zhuo Ao, Gianna and Keya looked at Zhuo Ao with some admiration, this is a world that belongs to the strong, and the strong, no matter where they go, they will be respected.

"Because not long ago, I was just a lowly slave in your mouth, and my background was not much nobler than theirs." Zhuo Ao said indifferently, talking about his status as a slave, and he didn't have too many emotions.

However, Zhuo Ao was indifferent, and a group of slaves standing on the side were slightly commotion, hearing that the other party was also a slave not long ago, some slaves began to be dissatisfied, people's hearts are like this, if the other party's identity is much higher than him, he will gladly accept the rule, but when he knows that the other party is similar to his own identity, it is another mentality.

"Dear Zhuoao, thank you for giving us back our freedom, but I don't think we can continue to accept the fact of being your subordinate, so please allow us to leave." A slave stood up and said to Zhuo Ao, although the words were respectful, but the unscrupulous expression on his face was not like that at all, so that behind Zhuo Ao, Gianna and Keya, who had just sympathized with Zhuo Ao's identity, couldn't help but glare at him angrily.

"Is anyone else leaving?" Zhuo Ao threw away the torn contract, slowly stood up under Old Jack's surprised gaze, and looked at the group of slaves with a smile.

"Yes, I have no reason to follow you, to be oppressed and tortured by you." Another slave snorted, turned around directly, and under the leadership of the two, eleven more slaves stood up one after another, but did not leave, but looked at everyone with bad intentions, especially when they looked at the three women of Gloria, their eyes flashed like beasts, and the other slaves, some of them had flashing eyes, and they seemed to be moved, and some of them were at a loss.

"Zhuoao, what are you going to do, they are your property!" Old Jack looked at the group of slaves uneasily, and said angrily, "What do you want to do? Be clear about who you are! ”

"I'm sorry sir, but this Zhuo Ao has just torn up our deed of sale, so, legally, we are now homeless and no longer your property." The sturdy slave who spoke first looked at Old Jack with a murderous smile in his eyes and said.

"Zhuo Ao!?" Old Jack looked at Zhuo Ao.

"I just wanted to tell you!" Zhuo Ao looked at Old Jack and said indifferently: "I never believed that a paper contract can buy a person's loyalty, they may be forced by the power behind the contract, pretending to welcome you, but behind the scenes, they will show their white teeth to you, whether you are good or bad to them!" This is the law among slaves! ”

"That's a good point!" The slave at the head sneered.

"You can shut up!" Zhuo Ao snorted coldly, and with a hand, thirteen cards appeared in Zhuo Ao's hand, and without waiting for the other party to react, with a wave of his hand, the thirteen cards with a sharp sound of breaking the air accurately pierced into the brains of these rebels.

"Uh......" The thirteen corpses widened their eyes, with an incredible gaze, and fell silently, Yali, Gianna, and Keya screamed in fright, but the other group of slaves gasped, Gloria just drank tea quietly, from the time she knew that Zhuo Ao had the ability to defeat the ten elites of the Bantu Empire, she didn't think that these slaves could pose any threat to Zhuo Ao, so except for Zhuo Ao, she was the most calm one here.

"A person's origin cannot be chosen, but a person's future can be chosen, I don't care about those contracts, because I have enough confidence, even without it, I can still control your life and death!" Zhuo Ao looked at a group of panicked slaves, and said indifferently: "I can use a year to go from a slave who may die at any time to today's status step by step, but it is blood and sweat that I have paid, so, please take back your luck, maybe, I will give you a chance to get out of slavery, but please remember, I can give it, but you can't ask for it, understand?" ”

"Yes!" The rest of the slaves looked at Zhuo Ao in horror.

"There are one hundred and eighty-seven more people, and next, you will be divided into eighteen groups, of which eleven are ten, and the other seven groups are ten, and in the next three days, there will be no captains, but you can report to each other, and Miss Gloria will be responsible for sorting out the news, as for the content of the report, if any of you wants to escape, if you report it, you can get a reward of silver coins."

"Also, if someone in any of the group manages to escape, then congratulations to the escapee, I will not hold you accountable, but accordingly, I will kill any person in your team as punishment! In addition, if you capture an escapee and provide enough evidence, you will be rewarded with a gold coin, and after three days, the eighteen people who capture the most fugitives will be rewarded with another ten gold coins as a bonus, and at the same time become the team leader, and in the future, everyone's food will be uniformly distributed to the team leader, and then distributed by the team leader to everyone. ”

Looking at a group of slaves looking at each other, Zhuo Ao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the rest of the matter, Gloria is in charge, let's all go down, carry the corpses of these people out, and throw them into the forest outside the castle, I think the beasts will help me clean them up." ”
