Dogleg Armor opened the small package that he had found from Da Ming's body, poured the sea buckthorn fruit into a fruit bowl, and hurriedly sent it to Shulls in a flattering manner.
Shules glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then scolded again: "Fool! These untouchable slaves have touched things, you didn't wash them and brought them to Master Ben, looking for death?"
The dogleg armor suddenly bowed down in panic, and kept apologizing: "Master is angry! The little one will go to wash the fruit for you, and the small one will go!"
With that, he galloped away with the fruit bowl and soon disappeared.
Xiu Les snorted lightly, then turned his head to look at Da Ming and Ah Cheng's mother, who were covered with scars and footprints, and warned in a cold voice: "I advise you not to have the idea of complaining to the Sage, otherwise, everyone will know that you can still find food in that thorn." By then, I'm afraid you'll be more than just the two of you. ”
Da Ming lay on the ground panting, his eyes were full of hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
The lowest of them have long been excluded from the food distribution list. In the past, the only way to make a living was to hand in the surplus of the ideas after handing in the prescribed amount of food.
They were told that if they failed to complete the task for three days, they would be thrown into a sea buckthorn wall with their hands and feet broken and left to fend for themselves. And there, there is a high probability that they will be captured by the vine monster and boiled into broth, which will become the rations of the salty aborigines.
But as a rule, they are struggling to meet the amount of collection required by the task, so how can they keep food for themselves?
Fortunately, just when they were about to be cornered, Ah Cheng found food deep in the sea buckthorn wall. At the same time, the sage's ban on not being able to go near the sea buckthorn wall seems to have been relaxed a lot.
Although there is a lot of danger there, but the situation is compelling, how can they take care of so much?
So, they finally had a satisfying sea buckthorn fruit. It's not as hard as it used to be when you want to complete the daily tasks. At Da Ming's suggestion, they chose to try their best to hide the matter of the sea buckthorn fruit so as not to be raised in the task indicators.
However, if Shules let the news of the sea buckthorn fruit spread among the noble circles at this time, even if their task did not increase, I am afraid that more noble lords would order people to come and rob them of the food collected by these slaves.
No one will help them, because the enforcers are also of noble origin. The nobility also usually represented their parents, children, or siblings, who were magicians and knights serving in the army.
Who would offend magicians and knights for the sake of their untouchable slaves?
Perhaps only Lord Biluo will have mercy on them. But how could the sage who was high up in the sky provide protection for these pariahs at all times, or was it in opposition to the entire noble class, and even a few other sages!
I really want to die, Da Ming thought bitterly.
But if he dies, what will Xiaofen do?
"That's it, that's it for today, just get something. Let's go!" Cultivators glanced contemptuously at Ah Cheng's mother and Da Ming, who were covered in bruises, and then turned and walked away.
Dogleg B, who walked at the end, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Da Ming's collar, and shouted: "Tomorrow here and now, you must give the master more food, otherwise...... Hmph!"
With that, he overturned Da Ming to the ground again, stepped on his wound, and crushed it hard, and then left with a high spirit.
"Da Ming, Da Ming!" The panicked Ah Cheng's mother hurriedly helped up Da Ming, who was no longer powerless to struggle, and cried bitterly, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you send me back!"
"Okay, Hui'er, don't say it. How can I blame you for this kind of thing?" Da Ming gasped and said with difficulty, "Let's go quickly, go back to heal first." These hateful nobles ......"

In the Palace of the Sages.
"For now, the untouchables have found a way to harvest sea buckthorn fruit, but the daily harvest is still not optimistic. ”
One of the scouts prostrate on the ground and respectfully reported to Hikari and Fario from above, "Moreover, there have been cases of nobles stealing the food they have gathered recently. ”
"Well, this kind of atmosphere still needs to be suppressed. Guang said slowly, "Although it is definitely banned, but now that food has become a strategic material, it is not okay to be snatched by those guys who eat and wait for death." ”
"If you see something like this, just put a stop to it. Fario thought for a moment, and then chimed in, "But if you think about it, those nobles don't dare to do it too blatantly, otherwise there are more people who know, and it won't be good for them." And Biluo's girl will definitely not sit idly by. ”
Light then set the tone: "Raise the target of the mission, and try to confiscate the food collected by the untouchables and distribute it uniformly." If someone steals too much in private, knock them out. In any case, the point is not to allow the untouchables to hide their food. ”
"Yes, Sage-sage. "Also, because the untouchables have been hanging around the sea buckthorn wall lately, the number of people captured by the enemy is gradually increasing. ”
Guang waved his hand: "That's okay, let them catch it." ”
"The little one knows. The scout saluted again, and quickly left.
When only he and Hikari were left in the hall, Fario laughed and said, "Are you determined to abandon these untouchables?"
"Any questions?"
Guang said indifferently: "When I brought those untouchable slaves on the ship, I wanted them to work. Now they have become a drag on us. There is not much food recovered, but it still spreads a negative atmosphere and causes internal conflicts, so it is a good thing to be arrested. ”
"As long as the army can maintain its combat strength, nothing else matters, right?"
Fario pondered for a moment, was noncommittal, and then asked, "What about then, when we go out, and there are no slaves, do you want to count on those nobles to help you work?"
"They only need to be responsible for having children and providing a reserve army. Among the descendants of those people, the probability of mages and knights appearing is quite high. ”
Hikari chuckled and replied, "As for the slaves...... Hehe, as long as we break through their defenses, don't we have as many slaves as we want?"
"Just enslave the natives? I hope you can do it. Fario chuckled.
Hikari snorted lightly: "Even if they won last time, it was a miserable victory." Could it be that with a magic scroll strike of that scale, they could come back a few times? The gap in the level of cutting-edge strength, they simply couldn't make up for it. Once you've regained your strength and the mages and knights have healed from their injuries, we'll launch our next attack. The deities don't believe it, they can still bear it!" )
