Chapter 81: The Slave Persecuted to the Dead
By this time, the entire warehouse had been cleared, and the empty warehouse and the entire small port outside the open gate were already full of grizzled slaves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of these slaves were humans, but there were also a small number of subhumans, elves, and dwarves. As Hiko's judgment was in his mind, the slaves didn't look very healthy. They all have yellow faces and thin muscles, and their clothes are thin. As soon as the cold wind blew, they all began to tremble. Obviously, in this harsh environment, they can only get a little warmth in this way.
Of course, they can huddle with each other and keep each other warm. But in the face of the Nords who surrounded them entirely. The slaves here don't have the courage to do that. They just bowed their heads, cowering like shivering quails, and they didn't even notice Hiko's appearance on the high platform in front of them.
This made Hiko feel a little disappointed in his heart. He knew what it meant to be a performance like that. This means that these slaves are numb. They see themselves as lambs to be slaughtered, as goods that can breathe. Give up self-esteem, give up personality. Let yourself be eternally humbled like dust and mud, forever succumbing to the feet of others.
People often use a phrase to describe those who are not motivated, and they call themselves self-desplicing. Strictly speaking, these people don't even have room to be cheap.
So seeing this, Hiko immediately frowned, and then shouted loudly to everyone.
"Listen to me, all the slaves, that I am your master from this day forward. Now I command you, lift up, and look at me. ”
Like beasts that have been trained by whips, all the slaves raised their heads and set their empty gazes on Hiko. And being gathered by so many insensitive, awe-inspiring and fearful eyes, Hiko immediately couldn't help but tremble, and a kind of irritability and disgust suddenly appeared in his heart.
Some people may like this kind of vision, but Hiko definitely won't like it. It made him feel like a butcher, like an executioner who presided over some slaughtering ritual. Of course, he knew he wasn't. But this terrible look always made him feel that way. He began to feel impetuous, but for the sake of his own plan, he had to suppress this fluctuation in his heart, put on a cold face, and continued to speak to them.
"Yes, that's it. Look at me and remember clearly. From now on, you will say goodbye to your past, and this is Arest. A place that is decidedly different from Middle-earth. Here, too, your identity is no longer the slave of the original masters, but us, the slaves of the entire Nord people. As a slave of the Nords, you must learn one thing, and that is to fight!"
Speaking of this, Hiko gestured to the Nord men around him. At his signal, the Nords immediately moved over one after another full boxes. The chests were filled with thick furs, unusually sweet bread baked, and a heavy, sharp weapon.
See clothing and food. There was a hint of longing in the eyes of each of the slaves, but there was a deep fear of what seemed dangerous. This fear is deeply rooted in the bones, and this fear makes them dare not take a step out of the thunder pool, even though they have an incomparable desire for those clothes and food.
This situation made Yan immediately sneer and say loudly.
"Why, the food that fills your stomach is right in front of you, and the clothes to keep you warm are here. Don't you really want these things? Why are you holding back one by one, and you don't even have the courage to fight for them?"
"I know what you're thinking, you think I'm testing you, thinking I'm going to compromise with you in the end and offer you these things. After all, for us, you are property, you are goods. To make you hungry and to die in this cold before you have created a wealth of your equivalent will only cause us great losses. ”
"If that's what you think, then that's all I can tell you. You underestimate us Nords. We don't care about this loss, we care more about our honor, our traditions. The Nords only value life with dignity and strength, even if you are a slave, if you don't even have the courage to fight for it, then you are worthless. This is not alarmism, in fact this is the real test we are putting you to the test now. If you don't dare to move, you can just stand there all the time. At night, the temperature turns every shbit of water in your body into ice ballast. And if you want to survive, you can only take these weapons in front of you, and then find a way to get enough from behind them through these Nords in front of you to keep you alive. ”
Hearing this, the voices of commotion immediately began to be heard among the slaves. And in this agitation, someone immediately began to act, and walked towards the boxes full of things with a cower.
They had just taken a few steps, ready to cross the Nord men who were like a wall. But at this time, those Nord big men had already waved their arms directly, throwing them out like straws.
These emaciated slaves could not compete with the giant-like Nords, so their fate was very ugly. However, because these Nords control their own strength, they are not too little, and they only have a bruised nose and swollen face at most.
The situation was not serious, but it was a severe blow to their confidence in action. So for a moment, all the slaves were silent, and they didn't dare to make any more moves. The camp of thousands of people, except for a few guys moaning on the ground, was completely silent, and this situation was as strange as you could see.
And in the face of such weirdness, Yan raised his eyebrows, and immediately shouted again.
"Why, then you don't have the courage to act. In that case, then there is no need for you to exist. I said, the Nords don't want anyone who doesn't have courage. Since you don't even have the courage, then you have no qualifications to stand on this land at all. Throw them all out to sea!"
You must know that the sea in Areste is a real ice sea, and the temperature can be said to be so low that ordinary people will freeze to death immediately if they fall into it. And if, according to Hiko, these slaves are driven into the sea, then they will really have only one way to die.
This made many slaves can't help but panic in their hearts, but look at the same kind around them. Inevitably, they have some other meanings. People are lucky, and these slaves are no exception. In this situation, which was obviously about to force all the slaves to death, they naturally did not believe that Hiko had the courage and ability.
After all, Hiko looks too young, even if he is a nobleman, then after giving such a stupid order, there should be a sensible adult to stop him. In that case, everything that the young nobleman said would not be true, and they would naturally be able to get what they wanted and continue to survive.
But they waited and waited, but they never waited for the scene they wanted to see. On the contrary, the space for their activities has been shrinking, and soon it has reached a point where even if they are crowded with each other, they cannot find a place to put their feet.
The Nords showed no mercy, and when Yan said to push them into the sea, they did so and pushed them into the sea. When I watched thousands of people huddle into a lump, forced to get closer and closer to the water. Some of the relatively sturdy slaves began to hold back and shouted at Zhou Yi.
"What do you want to do, my lord? Did you buy us to satisfy your desire to kill? Aren't you afraid of drawing the wrath of the Mother of Life by doing so?"
"Huh? I thought that even if you guys were all pushed into the water and drowned, none of you would dare to ask me such a thing?" "First of all, I want to tell you that I don't believe in gods. Even the Mother of Life is no exception, so the anger of your so-called Mother of Life does not scare me at all. ”
"Secondly, even if I attract the attention of the Mother of Life, I am not at all worried that I will upset her. Do you know why? Because you don't deserve to live, you are not even a pig, and to live is to waste food, to waste everything that this world has given life. ”
This sentence was said so viciously that many slaves raised their heads and looked at him angrily. Soon, however, the men lowered their heads again, and at the same time began to feel uneasy about their reckless behavior. Compared with rebellion, these people are more accustomed to obedience, and this is precisely what Yan looks down on the most.
He looked at these low-eyed guys, looking at these wastes who were about to be cornered and didn't dare to make any resistance, and his mouth became more and more cold and cruel.
"Look at what you look like, look at your numbness. Even the sheep will hold their horns against those who want to hurt themselves when they are dying. And you, you don't even have the courage to resist, you don't even have the courage to argue. With such a performance, what qualifications do you have to say that you are alive, and what qualifications do you have to make others feel senseless sympathy for you? ”
Naturally, such words have greatly pierced the hearts of some people. And in this case, someone finally began to resist.
