"Do a good job, I won't treat you badly. Lei Ming patted him on the shoulder cordially, and watched as Chase boarded the boat, and hundreds of ships on the sea set sail before they left the dock surrounded by knights.

The corpses on the ground had been cleaned up, and the lack of thirst for blood on the side of the road proved that the screams just heard were not hallucinations. More than 200 mercenaries were confiscated and crouched on the side of the road, waiting for an unknown fate.

"Reduce them all to slavery. "Thunder is building a magic tower, and it needs manpower. These mercenaries are physically strong, and the main thing is that after becoming slaves, they can not be paid. Although the old viscount has saved a lot of gold coins, there is not much left after planning, and if the territory wants to develop, he needs to find a new way to make money.

Overseas trade is a good option.

The mercenaries were whisked, accustomed to a free life, and no one wanted to be a slave. Moreover, the descendants of slaves are still slaves, and they will hardly ever come out.

The city guards nervously grasped their weapons and watched them warily. Once you notice any abnormality, you will definitely shoot it.

"Without the baptism of war, these soldiers are just ordinary people with weapons, not an army at all. Lei Ming sighed secretly and said, "This Viscount is merciful, as long as any of you make great contributions in the future, I will let him go." Now, give me an honest slave, and this viscount promises to work hard for three years to restore his status as a lord. Otherwise, make me a slave for the rest of your life!"

Can the nobles' assurances be trusted? The mercenaries looked at each other with hesitant expressions.

"Forgive my offense, Lord Lord, and I beg you to repeat the contents of the contract in the presence of His Highness Vickers, the great god of law and contract. Charles, the deputy head of the regiment, stood up and said solemnly.

"I know it's an offense, and I dare to ask for it, and I want to die. Fafer scolded, took two steps forward, grabbed Charles's neck and lifted it up.

"Fafel, stop. Lei Ming frowned slightly, calling out the true name of the god, and the other party would know what happened within three minutes. Even though you know that this little thing won't attract attention, it's better to be careful.

Fafer threw him to the ground and sneered, "Your Excellency has always counted what you say, so you can't question it. Besides, how could a great god cast his eyes on such a thing, and you might think too highly of yourself. ”

In his mind, the "Book of Destiny" seemed to sense something, and he beat a few times hard, and disappeared.

A terrifying coercion descended, and people couldn't help but fall to their knees. A crack dozens of miles long appeared in the sky, and the crack opened, revealing a huge golden eye, and endless divine power poured out.

Charles got up and fell to his knees, praying frantically, his face showing unprecedented fervor.

"Your Highness Vickers. Lei Ming swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and even his heart seemed to be skipping half a beat. I have imagined the heroism of the gods countless times, but when I really face it, I know how terrifying it is. He felt like his whole body had become completely transparent, and there was no secret to speak of.

And this is just the slightest insignificant gaze of the gods. Even the giant golden eyes in the sky were only illusions, and the gods of law and contract did not really set their eyes on it.

The giant eye blinked, as if urging. Thunder came back to his senses and hurriedly repeated his previous promise.

The crack closes, and the surrounding scene returns to reality. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, except for Charles, who knelt on the ground and continued to pray fervently.

"Rub, how could you meet a fanatical believer, and you just happened to let Lao Tzu run into it. Lei Ming's face was pale, and he wanted to scold his mother angrily.

Ordinary true believers and devout believers will not attract God's attention even if they shout God's true name. Only this group of crazy people who are usually like ordinary people, and will kill people at the slightest disrespect to them.

He was glad in his heart, fortunately, the Book of Destiny had detected the crisis in advance and hid it. If he is discovered, he will have the heart to die.

After Charles' prayer, his expression returned to normal, and he said, "My lord, I have one thing to tell you, and I hope you can let me go after speaking." I promise that this matter is absolutely important, ...... by the great god of law and contract"

"Your Excellency Charles, you can actually leave now. Continental law, after a slave becomes a fanatic, he obtains the status of a free free man, not to mention that you are a fanatic yourself. Lei Ming interrupted him, and there was a greasy taste in his heart, this kind of guy who puts the name of the god on his lips at every turn is the most annoying.

Most of the fanatics stayed on the holy mountain of the church and lived an ascetic life. Only a small number of them will go out and walk, and fanatics will not be liked anywhere, except for the gods of heaven. And these guys who break the law will only be handed over to the Holy See to deal with, which is the most headache. The only thing that makes people feel at ease, as long as they don't offend their gods, these madmen generally don't take the initiative to cause trouble.

"The Lord taught us to be just, and although fanatical believers cannot be slaves, this time I was wrong and deserved to make amends. Charles looked serious, took out a crumpled piece of paper out of nowhere and handed it over.

Lei Ming took it and didn't rush to open it, watching Charles leave. Although he is not afraid of the other party, he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble unless necessary.

"My lord, we promise to work hard. When the mercenaries saw Thunder's ugly face, they shouted in unison, for fear of angering them. With hope and assurance, no one wants to die.

"Take it all. Fafer's face was pale, this time he was a small disgrace, but he caused so much trouble to the loyal lord, which was the most annoying and guilty. "My ......, my lord"

"Don't explain, although you are loyal and commendable, you had better use your brain more before doing things in the future, and you don't know how to die in the future. Although Lei Ming's tone was a little impulsive, there was a hint of kindness in his voice.

Fafer nodded vigorously.

Lei Ming opened the paper, glanced at the contents on it, threw it on the ground, and returned to the carriage. "Go to the tax office at the port. ”

He already knew the contents of the paper, nothing more than the tax collector in Port Vale secretly colluded with pirates to rob merchant ships, and the reason why the old viscount wiped out the pirates was all caused by the tax officer's tipping and reporting, etc. Most of it is a bit of a chase, without the slightest evidence.

If Charles really had evidence, he wouldn't have brought it with him, and whether he could survive to this day is a question. The fact that fanatical believers are difficult does not mean that everyone is afraid, hurting the interests of the nobles, and there are ways to make them disappear.

Although Port Vale is the only large port in the territory, it is only a small village in itself, with about 500 permanent residents, plus a floating population, and it is barely a medium-sized village. It's just that the houses are a little dilapidated, and some have loopholes, and the only one that is intact is the central tax bureau.
