Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
People are different from each other, even to a group of lowly slaves, when they learn that they can be free, their expressions are different.
Some are ecstatic, some don't believe, some are dazed, and some are overwhelmed.
At this moment, in a clearing outside Stargazing City near the woods next to the slave market, when Zhang Tie announced to the forty or fifty slaves he bought that they had obtained themselves, those slaves looked at Zhang Tie one by one with various eyes, and the expressions on their faces were also strange.
Some of the slaves turned pale with fear and trembled.
"No, no, I don't want to be free, I don't want to play a game like this......" one of the slaves cried out loudly, his face full of fear, looking at the surrounding bushes in panic, "I know, as soon as I turn around and run a distance, you boys will chase me from behind like wild dogs hunting and kill me, I've experienced this before, and those with crossbows must be hiding nearby, right?" β
As soon as this man said this, the faces of the other slaves also became alarmed, and they turned their heads to look, and among these slaves, they seemed to have heard of such things, and in some places, those people let them out, and then they had a slave hunting competition, and had some fun with their lives, and this was outside the city, and it seemed that such a game could be played.
Zhang Tie rolled his eyes when he heard this, and even Leonardo da Vinci, who was on the side, looked at Zhang Tie helplessly, and his eyes seemed to say-Look, these slaves are like this!
Some of the dozens of slaves panicked, but Zhang Tie also noticed that several of them were relatively calm, and one of them was only one arm, tall, and a man with a weathered face and a beard in his 5o years old attracted Zhang Tie's attention, Zhang Tie beckoned to him, and the man strode in front of Zhang Tie.
"Ever been a soldier?" Zhang Tie asked after looking at him.
"This hand was broken on the battlefield, I was a captain officer in the Macedonian Empire!" The man in his 5o years old said calmly.
This man. It is the most common type of slave, a slave brought by war or prisoners of war.
"What's your name?"
"Stephen!"
Zhang Tie glanced at Da Vinci, Da Vinci hurriedly found a contract from the stack of slave sales contracts in his hand and took it out, handed it to Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie took it over and looked at it, the photo on the contract was the man in front of him.
"You're free!" Zhang Tie handed him the man's contract. The man took the contract with his only remaining hand, looked at Zhang Tie vigorously for two seconds, and then directly stuffed the contract into his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and swallowed it. Then a smile appeared on his face......
"I'll remember you!" The man put the sentence away, then turned and left.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Tie stopped him.
The man turned his head and looked at Zhang Tie, his eyes full of vigilance, "What, do you regret it, or do you guys want to play some tricks?" β
Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and flicked it. A gold coin flew towards the man in a brilliant arc in the air, and the man grabbed it with one hand.
"This is for your journey!"
Grabbing the gold coin in his hand, the vigilance in the man's eyes turned into an indescribably complicated look, he didn't speak, but just pursed his lips, and after nodding at Zhang Tie, he turned around and left.
One by one, the other slaves widened their eyes as they looked at the man who had left and Zhang Tie with a calm face.
Another slave summoned up his courage and stepped out.
"What's your name?"
"Fett!"
β¦β¦
After the slave named Fett left with his deed of sale and a gold coin from Zhang Tie. More slaves poured towards Zhang Tie.
There were more than seventy slaves, and in the end, after getting their deeds of sale and a gold coin, the only ones left were only three who could not leave.
These three people, one is an old man in his sixties and even looks almost seventy years old and a little hunchbacked, one is the woman with a few horrible burn marks on her face that was auctioned off for ten gold coins when Zhang Tie arrived, and the other is in her thirties. A man with a thin body and a dazed face.
After seeing the others leave, the old man sighed, and actually handed Zhang Tie the deed of sale and a gold coin again. Zhang Tie was surprised.
"Master, leave me, I'm still a little useful, I can guard the door, feed the horses, ventilate for you, and if necessary, you can still kill people with a knife, you can just raise an old dog, when I am alive, you can reward me with a few mouthfuls of leftover soup, and when I die, you can just throw me wherever you want, even if you chop me up and feed the dogs and pigs, I won't cause you trouble!"
The old man's voice was hoarse, and the miserable wrinkles on his face made Zhang Tie feel a little, Zhang Tie sighed, and handed the gold coin back to him.
"Take care of yourself, buy a few decent clothes, and then go to Yunju Mountain on Qianlong Island, where there is a castle under construction, you can go and show me the door!"
The old man knelt down and kissed Zhang Tie's shoes before leaving with a gold coin.
The old man left, and the woman also left after glancing at Zhang Tie.
When Zhang Tie said the word "castle", there seemed to be a bright light in the eyes of the thin man with a blank face.
"What else is going on with you?" Zhang Tie asked him patiently.
"You have a castle, you are rich, you have the ability, as long as you can do one thing for me, I ...... I...... I'll listen to you for everything...... I'll do whatever you want me to do......" The dazed man reacted suddenly, knelt down all of a sudden, hugged one of Zhang Tie's feet, like a drowning man holding something, and said incoherently excitedly.
Zhang Tie smiled dumbly, wondering if this guy's head was burned out, "You are the slave I just gave me freedom, if I want you to do something, I won't give you freedom, you still have to listen to me, what value do you have to me, is it worth letting me do something for you?" β
The man was struck by lightning, his mouth open, and he froze in place for a moment, his face recovering to despair and dazedness.
Zhang Tie looked at the crying man, shook his head, turned around and left. Every slave has a tragic past of every slave, and he is not God, and it is impossible to meet everyone's demands.
When Zhang Tie turned around, the man howled and cried.
β¦β¦
"Fili...... Gallian...... Mom and Dad, please forgive me, I am so useless, I haven't been able to avenge you for so long...... Rest assured. Even if I'm crushed this time...... I have to go back too...... Find Keane...... Even if he is now a shepherd, I will stab a sword on him to the death, and if I die, our family will be reunited......"
The man first wept and blamed himself, and then began to talk to himself as if he had prayed and made up his mind, and the man spoke in the Heber language. Ordinary people may not understand, but Zhang Tie heard it very clearly, when he heard the word "Da Mu Ling", Zhang Tie, who had already walked twenty steps away, suddenly stopped and walked back again.
Zhang Tie looked at this guy again, "Are you from the Sun God Dynasty?" β
The man kneeling on the ground raised a pair of red eyes and looked at Zhang Tie. Laughed miserably, "Yes, I am a member of the Sun God Dynasty, and I used to be a clergyman who served the God of Radiance devoutly......"
Zhang Tie became interested, "Then how did you end up at this point?" β
"They chose me as an alternate shepherd, but I couldn't bear to let me use the blood and life of an innocent child to complete the ritual of becoming a shepherd. Left the child alive, and was later betrayed by my best friend, so they were called heretics and blasphemers, and they also affected my family, and the man who betrayed me ended up in front of me, with my youngest brother. After completing his sacrificial rite to become a shepherd, Galen was only six years old......"
At this, the man covered his face between his hands in pain and began to weep again.
It's a clichΓ© story. Such a thing, in the Sun God Dynasty, I don't know how many births I have every year, what Zhang Tie didn't expect was that he could meet a person from the Sun God Dynasty here.
"Was that Keane the one who betrayed you, and what position is he in now?"
"That's right, it's him, when I escaped from the Sun God Dynasty, he was already a three-star shepherd, and now, more than ten years have passed, he may have become a moon-level shepherd!" Speaking of this, the man raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Tie, and there was a glimmer of hope, "I know that you are very rich, and if you have money, you can hire a killer, as long as you can kill that person, you can do whatever you ask me to ......"
Zhang Tie shook his head, "Do you know how much it costs me to hire a killer to go to the Sun God Dynasty to kill a powerful herd leader somewhere, and how much risk I have to take?" Do you think your current worth would allow me to do this for you? β
The man was silent, speechless.
"I'm giving you a chance to prove your worth to me now, you heard what I said to that person just now, you can also go to Qianlong Island, and when you make me feel worthy of doing this for you, I'll have Keane's head brought to you!"
"I'm going to Qianlong Island!" The man kneeling on the ground had a determined glint in his eyes, and then he resolutely stood up and left the place.
Leonardo da Vinci cried with a sad face, and finally knew why curiosity killed the cat, at this time, he couldn't wait to slap his two big mouths, and then plug his ears with cement, just now he left, why do you want to turn back with Zhang Tie, this is his own business.
Zhang Tie looked at him with a smile......
"I didn't hear anything?" Leonardo da Vinci said to Zhang Tie with a bitter face, he accompanied Zhang Tie for almost an afternoon, and at this time, he realized the terrible scheming in Zhang Tie's smile, and unconsciously trapped him.
As long as you don't hear this, no matter what happens in the future, no matter how big the trouble is, the big deal is the matter of Huaiyuantang and the Sun God Dynasty, let them pinch it, and now that they are here, then they will pull themselves in, in the eyes of these people, they are the onion?
"Do you know what to do in the future?" Zhang Tie asked Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo da Vinci smiled bitterly and nodded...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
