Chapter 308: Whipping to Death (Asking for a monthly pass at the end of the month!!) )
"Master Shado?"
As soon as the person landed, he said Xia Duo's name, but Xia Duo didn't have any impression of him, although the other party looked personable and magnanimous, but he really didn't have an impression.
This is also the man of the Tower of Time?
Xia Duo was a little puzzled, but he just lowered the tip of the sword a little, and did not put it away, and at the same time lifted his spirit and entered a state of concentration for spell casting.
The time he has been in the Tower of Time is not too short, and those who can fly are at least mid-level mages, so they shouldn't be impressed at all, which is a bit abnormal.
"I'm Shado, and you're—"
"I'm the Foreign Director of the Tower of Time, and you can call me Master Warren." Warren took out a Tower of Time Badge and placed it in his palm to activate the sigil inside, and a three-dimensional Tower of Time phanteur appeared above the badge.
While Shado was checking the sigil, Warren glanced at the obviously styled elven sword in Shado's hand without a trace, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
However, he soon became invisible, and once upon a time, the little apprentice in his eyes turned into a middle-level mage, and also became the husband of Lord Niata.
If he also had a talent like Xia Duo, maybe it wouldn't be the current situation!
"Master Shado, the badge is okay, right?"
"No problem!" Xia Duo put away the [Blade of Veto].
The badge is indeed no problem, it is owned by the Tower of Time, and this so-called foreign director is actually the head of all the peripheral members of the Tower of Time.
It's just that others don't say it, and it's hard for Xia Duo to distinguish who is the peripheral member and who is the core member.
"Master Warren, what are you looking for me?" Xia Duo knew this very well, just now this Warren mage flew straight at him, it must be impossible to stop by.
"That's right, just now I saw someone flying in from outside, come over to check the situation, it's Master Xia Duo, it's no problem!" Warren explained.
"Could it be someone else who has the problem?"
"Of course not, but if it's not a member of the Tower of Time, I'll ask for the person's identity and leave a record."
I see!
The Tower of Time is gone, so there's a lot of trouble!
After that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, which can be regarded as a formal acquaintance, and when Steward Yarman hurriedly arrived, Master Warren also found a reason to leave.
……
"Yarman, how are the people doing these days? Are the slaves still in peace? ”
While walking towards the location of the port warehouse, Xia Duo asked the Yarman steward about the five or six days off before and after, and he was still a little worried!
"Because of the impact of the murder case of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, the lord's lords have stayed in the warehouse for the past two days, not going anywhere, and their emotions are relatively stable, and the slaves-"
At this, Steward Yarman paused.
Xia Duo immediately asked, "What happened to the slave?" Do you want to run away or do you get into trouble? ”
"My lord, there was a slave who took advantage of the weak defense during the Midsummer Festival and tried to jump into the river to escape, but was quickly captured by Lord Leyton!"
"Oh? How did Leiden deal with it? ”
"The escapee was whipped to death, and the rest of the group also received 20 lashes." At the mention of this, Yarman couldn't help but shudder.
He was also present at the time, and although it was not he who was being whipped, the scene was still very uncomfortable, not so much because of the flogging itself, but because the priest of Leiden was flogging to prevent the slaves from being beaten to death, and to condense the holy power in the torture whip.
The whip marks that had just been punched had already dissipated a lot by the next time he was beaten, and Yarman even wondered if he could be whipped forever if Priest Leiden wanted to.
The thought of this made Yarman tremble again.
"Yarman, what's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing!"
Xia Duo just asked casually, and when he saw that the other party didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask. Soon, the two of them were outside the warehouse of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce.
The three warehouses were next to each other, the doors were open, and George and Gibb were patrolling the gates with their respective squads, heavily armed.
Seeing Xia Duo and Yarman coming, the two immediately left the team and greeted them.
"Your Lord!" This is George.
"Your Excellency!" Gibb stopped talking.
But at this moment, Xia Duo was attracted by the noise coming from the warehouse, and he also noticed Gibb's expression, but he didn't take it to heart, just encouraged, "It's a good thing." ”
He followed the sound and walked towards the first warehouse.
Because it was summer, there were only simple straw mats arranged inside, and his people were learning the craft from the craftsmen in groups and groups.
Bang dang, it's not lively.
"Your Excellency is here!"
"Your Lord!"
"Your Excellency!"
The crowd saluted, and Shado waved his hand to let them continue, and he recognized two of the craftsmen, his two slaves, the stonemason named Stone, and the carpenter named Carpenter.
There are two other young carpenters who don't know where they came from, if nothing else—
He looked at Yarman, and Yarman explained in due course: "Those two carpenter apprentices were hired by the Lieton Chamber of Commerce to teach the lord's people to handle wood, and if they were replaced by experienced carpenters, it would not be so easy to get them. ”
"Hmm." Xia Duo nodded, a craft is indeed not so easy to learn.
After so much development in Savile Town, a balance has long been reached between various needs, and it is not impossible to teach the apprentice to starve to death the master.
It's nice to have two carpenter apprentices.
"Let's go, go see the slaves!"
Just as he was about to go to the next warehouse, Priest Leiden rushed over, "My lord, I have two things to report to your lordship. ”
"Let's go, talk as we go."
"Yes!"
Outside the warehouse, Gibb was already waiting at the door, and seemed to have heard Leyton's words just now, and also said to Xia Duo: "My lord, I also have something I want to report to my lordship. ”
"Let's come along!"
"Yes!"
As he walked, Leiden reported, "My lord, the day before yesterday, a slave escaped and was put on trial, and the rest of his working group was punished. ”
"Well, I've heard from Steward Yarman, caning, right?"
"Yes, I have already restored them, and it will not affect the follow-up labor."
"Good!"
Xia Duo had already seen the slaves in the second warehouse, all of them lined up, sitting on the ground and chanting something, listening carefully, wasn't it the "Lord's Quotations" he had written earlier?
At present, the number of lords and slaves is too small, and Xia Duo did not issue any complicated decrees, but only stipulated some daily codes of conduct in the form of "Lord's Quotations".
It is not difficult for ordinary people to do it with a little attention.
"Layton, what's the second thing you said?"
"This—" Layton glanced at Gibb and didn't say.
Xia Duo immediately knew that this matter had something to do with Gibb, so he asked Gibb again, "And what do you want to report?" ”
"My lord, Ava has agreed to be the instructor of the Lord's Territorial Guard, and the others have already arrived, in the third warehouse!"
"Oh?"
Hearing that everyone had already arrived, Xia Duo was not in a hurry to go over, and he had wanted to hire members of the Ava Sect Territorial Guard to use magical items.
However, when he mentioned it to Gibb, he said that he would ask Ava for his opinion first, and even if he agreed, he would make an appointment to meet again.
Why is it suddenly delivered to the door now?
