Chapter 770: Triple Test
For the 37 slaves who were bought, this was perhaps the most inexplicable day of their lives, they grew up like animals since childhood, and their greatest wish in life was to meet a kind master, eat enough, dress warmly, and live a stable life every day.
Today, there is indeed a noble man who has appeared, and he is a noble man who can make the slave trader bend his waist, but this noble man is very strange, after buying them, he does not say anything, blindfolds everyone and leads them away, and he twists and turns along the way, as if he does not want them to know where he is going.
When the vision was deprived, the perception of time became a little numb, and the slaves did not know how long they had been walking, but they could only feel that they had entered the room by the difference in temperature, and as soon as they stood firmly, the blindfold was taken off.
The place where the slaves were located was a secret room, and the nobleman who bought them took off his cloak and showed a rough face, and he asked lightly, "Does anyone know me?" β
The slaves had never seen anything in the world, and suddenly such a person popped up, where did they know each other, and they shook their heads one after another.
Only one of the elderly slaves was stunned for a moment, gasped and said, "I have seen your portrait in the newspaper that my master reads!" You... Are you the Lugo Helsing?! β
The slaves exclaimed.
In the past, when Lugo was the captain of the security team of Twilight City and the lieutenant general of the Death Legion, I am afraid that few slaves really knew him, and those official titles could bluff others, and the slaves had never seen the world, so how could they know what those titles represented.
However, since the invasion of the remnants of the Six Kings, Lugo's name has spread not only to the noble and commoner families throughout the kingdom, but also to the ears of the slaves.
The slaves admired Lugo more than the nobles and commoners, because this man had accomplished what everyone had dreamed of all their lives - to remove the slaves from his own power and bring glory to him.
Since the founding of the country, there have been thousands of slaves, and the vast majority of them have lived under that brand for life, and how many people can get rid of slaves? I'm afraid I can write all the names on a piece of paper.
And the person who was originally in a high position, was demoted to a slave after committing a crime, but was reborn in a desperate situation of Phoenix Nirvana, Lugo is the only one in the history books.
Lugo's deeds were a miracle in the eyes of the slaves, and it was an unattainable dream, and when he stood alive in front of him, the slaves had a sense of distortion for a while, wondering if it was a dream.
Lugo sat down at the table casually, looked at the slaves in front of him, and said, "I'm tired of all that polite nonsense, and I don't want to say it, so let's get straight to the point." β
"Surely you all know me and know my deeds. I now have three questions for youβthe first one, who of you wants to be like me, to be free from slavery and glorified? β
After a short silence, the slaves scrambled to their feet, stretched out their dry hands to Lugo, and shouted "I, me, me" for fear of being one step slower than the others.
"Good." Lugo did not respond to any of them with a gesture, and then said, "Second question, who of you is willing to gamble with his life in order to get rid of slavery and increase glory?" β
As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on the air, and the slaves were silent, and they all looked at Lugo at a loss, not understanding what he meant.
Lugo: "Let me be clear, I will tell you very clearly now, I can provide you with a chance to change your life, but it is no less dangerous than me leading the people in the northern mining area to attack the remnants of the Six Kings, and your survival rate may be one in ten, or even one in a hundred." β
"In this future, who of you would like to challenge your fate?"
"It's okay, don't be nervous, it's an inquiry, not a demand. Those who retreat will receive 100 Bronze Moons, and from then on we will go our separate ways and never bother. β
The slaves looked at each other with trepidation and doubt in their eyes, and one of them cautiously asked, "My lord, can you give us a little time to discuss?" β
Lugo shrugged and acquiesced.
The slaves gathered and discussed with each other, and after a burst of whispering, 8 of the 37 slaves stood up, most of them old men.
The old slave who took the lead trembled and said, "My lord, we are already very old, even if we suddenly die one day, it is not strange, glory or something, it is too far away for us... Our biggest wish now is to be able to have food and clothing in our old age... If you'd like to reward you with Moon Coins, we'd appreciate it! β
Lugo didn't say a word, poured a glass of water for all eight people, added a white powder to it, and said, "Come on, drink this glass of water." β
Lugo didn't hide the action of adding powder just now, everyone saw it, their first reaction was that it was poison, and they felt that Lugo was going to kill people, and the few slaves who retreated directly knelt in fright: "My lord, please let us have a way to live!" β
"Don't worry, it's not poison." "When you drink this glass of water, you'll soon fall asleep, and when you wake up, you'll forget everything that happened for 24 hours." I will take care of carrying you to safety, and the promised 100 copper moons will not be less than for you. β
Seeing that the slaves were still hesitant, Lugo added, "Today's conversation is confidential, and I will not allow anyone who retreats to leave here with their memories. The eight of you are already out, and even if you refuse to drink it, I will pour it hard. Whoever comes and drinks it himself within 30 seconds, I will give him an extra 10 copper moons. β
As soon as these words came out, a bold old slave gritted his teeth, came over and grabbed a glass of water and drank it, and not long after drinking, as Lugo said, his eyes fell to the ground.
The rest of the slaves cautiously went over to check their breathing, and found that the man's breath was very stable, and he was really asleep, so they no longer had any worries, and came and drank all the water, and fainted one by one to the ground.
What Lugo added to the water was nothing else, it was all the Forgetting Elixir that Chino had stored in the Space Ring before, it was an item from a cube that was of little use to the transcendent, but it worked quickly for ordinary people and could erase memories within a certain time frame.
After the 8 slaves finished drinking, Lugo tied the money bags containing the copper moon around their waists according to the agreement, but did not carry them for the time being, but continued: "The remaining 29, I default to the people who are willing to persevere, it is not easy to pass two levels in a row, but I have one last question to ask youββ"
Lugo stared at everyone, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, and his voice was chilling: "In order to get rid of slavery and increase glory, who of you is willing to fight against the entire nobility of Dogurand and support the crowning of a new king?" β
