The journey to Siam was long, and after a long day's journey, there was still a deserted scene ahead, and there was no hurry for a moment, until the sun was sinking in the west and the day was getting darker, and the team stopped moving forward, and found a place that was relatively flat and stopped.

The servants of the Demps team began to work hard, and the tents were on fire, and two of the able-bodied ones followed the three knights into the woods on the side, trying to find some prey to replenish the day's food—although they brought plenty of food, but it was unknown how long it would take to reach Siam, so it was natural to replenish some. And as a nobleman, the Demps family lived a very good life before this trip, and if there were conditions, it would be better if they could eat better.

The members of this team are mainly divided into several parts: first, the original aristocratic family with Demps as the core, including the Demps family and their servants; second, the knight part, which is the main armed force of this team; third, the civilians with the largest proportion in the team, they were originally the children of Baron Demps, and this time in order to take refuge, they also took the initiative to follow Demps to Siam; fourth, the newly captured slaves of Demps along the way, they are also the lowest group of people in this team.

Now the servants of Demps are busy, and the civilians are not resting, helping those servants to clean up Lord Demps's "walk" first, which is a necessary reward for Lord Demps to provide them with protection, which is equivalent to hard labor. When they were done, it was already dark, and they had time to do their own thing, tidying up where they slept tonight and preparing their food for tonight.

The civilians were already so busy, and the slaves were even more busy.

As the private property of Lord Demps, the equivalent of cattle and horses, they were responsible for the most heavy work, that is, digging temporary trenches under the command of the knights, going to the woods to cut down and lift thick trees, etc., to lay the protective measures of this temporary camp, and they were so busy that they were out of breath and burst out for a moment.

And the most Qingxia people in the whole team are undoubtedly the Demps family and those knights. Among them, Demps was sitting in a rather decent chair, and next to him was a knight with a banana figure.

"Is it necessary?"

Looking at the slaves who were busy working back and forth, looking at the camp protection measures that were already the size of a fish, and then watching the slaves fall to the ground from time to time because the wood was too heavy, Demps couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He was not so kind-hearted that he was worried about the miserable fate of these slaves, but purely because these slaves were his private property, and after he settled down in Siam, he still counted on these slaves to help him farm and work, and if they lost or even lost anything because of these useless labors, it would be his loss.

The knight standing next to Demps was the tallest of the knights in the group, and the armor on his body was the most complete. Although the armor looked like it had been some years, it could be seen that their owners were very precious to them, and they tried to wipe them clean, not to mention shiny, they were also clean and tidy.

He was the leader of the knights of this unit, named Donn Isedrin, a Silver Knight certified by the Kingdom.

In Demps's team, there are many warriors on horseback, but there are not many who have been certified as Kingdom Knights, there are only three in total, Don is the strongest among them, and the other two are Bronze Knights.

After hearing Demps's words, Don just looked at the slaves who were working, carefully observing whether there were any mistakes, and without even looking at Temple, he replied: "Of course⊥ it is necessary to march in the field in peacetime, and it is necessary to be cautious in the daily camping and lay appropriate protective measures, not to mention that this is near Siam, so it is even more necessary." ”

"Siam is a notoriously chaotic place, it can be said to be a foreign country, with a large number of alien settlements here, second only to the Northlands in a dangerous place, and the danger in such a place cannot be underestimated, even if it has not yet been reached"

"I know!"

Demps interrupted Donne's words with a helpless look in his eyes.

He had heard similar words from Don En no less than ten times in the past few years, and Don En was tired of his ears being calloused.

"You're an expert in this area, so be it what you say"

After a perfunctory sentence, Demps's mind turned, and he wanted to immediately think of a new topic to divert the current topic, otherwise if he let Don continue, he felt that he would be annoyed by Don before he reached Siam himself, and he couldn't order Don not to continue on this topic, because Don and him were not simply servants: although Demps was a nobleman, he was a baron at best, and a small landowner in the countryside with the eyes of a big city nobleman. How could a hillbilly, such a nobleman, have a subordinate of a silver knight?

The reason why Donn is here is entirely because the Silver Knight also wants to go to Siam to escape the war, so he took the opportunity to go with Demps, and by the way, he served as the knight commander and supreme military commander of this team. In terms of real status and getting along, the two are actually equal.

Demps thought about how to change the subject, but to Demps's surprise, this time before he could come up with a new topic to change the subject, Don himself changed the topic first.

"Lord Baron, is that one your slave too?"

Don was staring in one direction.

"Huh?"

When Demps heard this, he raised his head and looked in the direction that Donn was pointing, and saw a very tall figure.

The man, dressed in rags and with knotted hair and beard, was walking with another man carrying a thick log. Because of the height difference, the log is high at one end and low at the other, and the picture looks a little funny.

"Yes. ”

Demps replied in the affirmative at once.

It wasn't that he had a good memory and could remember all the slaves he had captured in those days, but that he had spoken to this man face to face in the middle of the day—if the two of them combined were less than ten words in total.

This is the guy who said he was going to carry the waste slave away, and Demps wanted to torture him and make an example of him, but it didn't take long for Demps to forget about it, and now he remembered it when he saw it.

"Ah, this guy still has the strength to work?"

Demps was a little surprised.

Tang En was puzzled and asked, "Why doesn't he have the strength to work?"

"During the day," said Demps, "a useless slave suddenly fainted while walking, and broke his head."

Demps told everything that had happened in the sun, and after listening to it, Don looked at the man with a more focused and thoughtful look in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Demps couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Tang En didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while before he said, "If you can, can you sell this slave to me, Mr. Baron?"

When the word "slave" was mentioned again, some strange emotions flashed in Donn's eyes.

Slavery had long since been abolished in the kingdom, and the Manifesto of Knighthood had mentioned that a worthy knight should protect the weak, but now he was openly in the company of people like Demps, and it was against his oath to oppress these weak and turn them into slaves.

But it can't be helped, who let this be a troubled time?

At this age, Tang En is no longer the kind of hairy apricot with strong blood, he knows how cruel this world is, and the knight's declaration can only be remembered.

To sell a slave, Demps was about to agree and make an offer, but his mouth stopped when he was about to exit.

Although he was a hereditary baron, he was a nobleman after all, and he was much more educated than those commoners, so he was naturally not stupid.

Donne, the silver knight, is not the kind of guy who is full of muscles in the eyes of Demps, on the contrary, this knight who even has some gentlemanly demeanor is very shrewd, he suddenly opened his mouth to buy a slave, and he also asked for that by name, is there some reason why Demps does not know?

Thinking of this, Demps was not in a hurry, he smiled, and said, "You can sell it, but can Mr. Don tell me why you want to buy this slave?"

Don tilted his head, his gaze finally falling on Demps's face for once.

He did not hesitate as Uranopus imagined, but answered Demps's question very briskly, "Quite simply, because he has great strength, great stamina, and little will, these are the basic qualities that a knight needs to have, and he has excelled in all these aspects." ”

These things were all seen by Don in the course of his observation of the scene just now, and in conjunction with Demps's account.

"If I train, I believe he will be able to fight in a short period of time. I believe it won't be long before we get to Siam, and when the time comes, it's always good to have an extra helper. ”

As a nobleman, although Demps has also been trained as a knight, he can't even mix up as a trainee knight, and he is naturally not very clear about the doorway here, and he can't even call it half-understood, only knowing a fur is more terrible than not knowing anything, which makes Demps can't help but ask a ridiculous question: "You mean, you can make him a knight in a short time?!"

Demps' eyes lit up at the point of this.

If this slave of his could really become a knight, then the property would have increased in value by an unknown number of times, and he would have made it!

Don shattered his dream: "I'm just saying he has the potential to become a knight, but every qualified knight has to go through a long and rigorous training. It's unlikely that he'll become a knight anytime soon, but with my training, he believes it won't be long before he can have some combat ability," Donn casually pointed to a guy with only half a cuirass sitting on the ground next to him, "about that level." ”

Demps's enthusiasm was extinguished, but not completely.

Although you can't become a knight, it's not bad for a slave to become a qualified warrior, and you still need to earn it.

“5”

Demps's slaves were all captured on the road, and as a citizen of the kingdom, he had never been exposed to the slave trade, so he didn't know how to set the price, so he had to refer to the price of serfs, but this slave was obviously worth more than ordinary serfs, so he had to add a little more.

Demps originally wanted to report 5 Quintalans, but looking at Donn's "exquisite" armor, he was greedy and sat on the ground and doubled it again, "10 Quintalans!"

Seeing how much the knight admired the slave, he should have wanted it. If he could sell 10 Quintalaans, he would make a lot of money.

After hearing this offer, Tang En frowned, and he didn't know if Geng Zhi still had a strategy, so he bluntly refused: "Forget it." ”

"Hehe, there's no need to be so decisive, in fact, this price is negotiable. 10 Quintalan won't work, what about 9?"

Don and Demps bargained and finally agreed, but when the final result came out, Demps was very confused, not knowing whether he had lost or earned.

Instead of selling the slave to Don in the end, he had to pay Don 150 silver nar, which in turn would take time out of his life to teach the slave and train him to become a qualified warrior.

If 1 and a half quintalan can really turn a slave into a qualified warrior, it is really a good deal, and it will not lose money when the time comes, but can this slave really become a qualified warrior?

Demps even had such a thought in his heart: Donne, a seemingly loyal and honest guy, wouldn't have deliberately tricked him and deceived him with these 150 silver narls?

However, the verbal contract had been established, and as a nobleman, he really couldn't talk back for 150 silver narls, so he had to go with Don to the slave who was working—according to Demps's idea, just call the guy over and give orders, but Don went to go with him.

When he got there, Demps stopped the tall slave who was working, and then said to him, "You have to do more work in the future, and learn how to fight every day with this Donn knight, you know?"

As soon as Demps said this, the people around him, whether they were the slaves at work or the soldiers who were overseer, looked at him in amazement, and their eyes shuttled back and forth between Donn and the big tall slave.

This is Mr. Donn, the Silver Knight, how these warriors want his guidance and can't get it, and now he wants to teach a slave?!

These fighters are simply going crazy.

The slaves, though they did not know how honorable and fortunate it was to be taught by Mr. Donn, were able to understand the fact that Demps wanted to train their fellow slave to be a warrior, and they were envious and jealous of him.

The same is a slave, but a slave who can only do rough work, and a slave who can fight, the status will obviously be very different.

On the contrary, the tall man who was the party did not have any excited expression, just stood there quietly, looking at the two people in front of him, without saying a word.

It seems that not only is he not happy about this, but he seems to be very embarrassed?

Demps wondered what he had seen, wondering if he was mistaken.

No matter which slave it falls on, it is a great thing, an opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step, how can anyone be unhappy?

Of course, even if this guy really has a bad brain and doesn't want to go to the sky in one step, then he can't refuse, because he is a slave of Temples, and he has no right to refuse.

Just as Demps wondered if he was going to whip the other party to strengthen his prestige and order the other party to accept his command, the slave in front of him finally let out an "oh" and accepted his order.
