An old man glanced at Andy, then whispered to the others for a while.

Seeing that the scene was cold, Craig quickly stood up and took over the conversation.

"Ahem, of course, Chief Kuruisu, we all admire your abilities and deeds from the bottom of our hearts, and this time we will definitely come up with the best answer....."

One by one, the others began to talk about the scene, and the awkward atmosphere began to permeate.

Kurissu's face didn't change, except for a bombshell dropped after everyone had gone quiet.

"I have decided to abolish slavery in Blackfoot Village."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all responded in surprise.

"What?"

"Are you crazy?"

"What's going on?"

Among them, Merlin was indifferent, and Craig and Corhoti could be said to have expected it and even liked to see it, but Dominic and the senators were already on the verge of hysteria.

Dominic, a middle-aged man with a goatee, jumped up and was the first to question.

"Chief Kuresus, what are you doing here? Why the sudden abolition of slavery? If there were no slaves, how many villagers would we need to work as laborers? And it will bring us a lot of losses, it is very difficult for those slave traders to maintain a stable supply relationship, and if they are rebuilt, it will be troublesome to death, you can't do that! ”

Kurisu looked at Dominic indifferently until he fell silent out of breath when he finished speaking.

"I understand your anxiety Dominica, but now that we are fully aware of our trade potential, the water trade line has been built with Andy's help, or it won't be long before we start the ore trade, gun trade and wine trade, and we can also sell all the beef that we can't eat, any of these things can be more profitable than buying and selling slaves, and the village will not only not suffer losses, but will become richer."

She stretched out her hand and swept around.

"All of you will get more benefits later, won't you? But if we are still saddled with the stigma of slave holders, these trades cannot be done, and you have to judge who is right and who is wrong. ”

She looked at Corhoti.

"Korhoti, you're in charge of the accounts, tell me if I'm right."

Corhoti stood up and looked at everyone.

"This month's trade is almost equal to the profits of the slave trade, and this is just the beginning, and I testify that Chief Kuresu is all right, and I strongly support Chief Kuresu's decision."

There was a burst of discussion among the people, and all of them seemed to be moved.

Dominic looked anxious as he watched the attitudes of the people around him change, and he was anxious at the thought that he might lose his job in the future.

"Wait!"

He yelled, bringing everyone's attention back to him.

"Without slaves, who would work on the ranch? Who goes to the fields to farm? You have to keep some slaves, right? ”

Kurisu was not surprised by this question either.

"I've thought about it, the village will set up some new rules, and I will adapt the hunting team.... In the years that followed, the hunting team would periodically ask its members to participate in labor, which was what they had to do for the village... In return, the village will provide them with a share and remuneration, as well as basic living guarantees when they grow old, and even direct food distribution to their family members, instead of continuing the previous system of distribution of military merits... In addition to this, we may also recruit workers from outside the village. ”

She pointed to Dominic.

"Don't worry about your work, you'll be in charge of it later, I think you can... Do a good job. ”

Dominic was speechless, but still uttered the last question.

"But.... But Chief Kuruisu, what about the Legion's tribute? They had regular slaves, and about the hunting party, did Leader Craig agree to this? ”

Kuresu lifted his chin towards Craig.

Craig smiled awkwardly, indicating that he was fully informed and fully supportive.... Then he straightened up and made a serious expression.

"We've got the weapons, and I don't think the Legion can do anything about us, can they? Who in the whole Blackfoot Village likes the Legion? In fact, they took a lot of warriors back then, and they didn't do anything for the village for so many years, just blindly asked for slaves, do you like them? If they are angry at our refusal to continue supplying slaves, then let them come and let them see if we can teach them a lesson! ”

Dominic looked at Craig in shock, with a collapsed expression on his face.

"It's not.... Leader Craig, the Legion may come back, what will happen then? You can't be so hasty! ”

Craig was about to speak, but Merlin stood up.

"If the Legion comes back and wants to disadvantage Blackfoot, we in Ouroboros Village will not sit idly by, rest assured, Lord Hekate will protect all those who believe in her, and the Legion is Lord Hekater's enemy."

Everyone in the room was surprised by Merlin's words, and Dominic finally let out a long sigh and sat down in his seat without speaking.

"Anyone else who has an opinion can put it forward."

Kuruisu looked at everyone, and the old men and ladies suddenly began to argue, and the last bald old man with very deep nasolabial folds stood up.

Kurisu glanced at the old man, and didn't hide his troubled expression.

"Elder Hardbone, you are an old-timer, what do you think?"

The old man coughed twice and waved for a while, then slowly spoke with the cane in his hand.

"I'm old, and I can't compare my brain to you young people, but I can't help it... I'm the only one in our old bunch of people who speak the lingua franca, so I'll have to say it, Kurisu, you're the Blackfoot leader we recognize, but you're not a native Blackfoot, and I've got to remind you of something. ”

Kurisu's eyes became a little dangerous, she glanced at Andy, and the other party replied with an OK gesture, although Kurisu couldn't understand what it meant, but she understood the message conveyed by the expression.

"Please go on."

The old man nodded slowly.

"Since the establishment of our Blackfoot Village, it has been more than 100 years, the slavery system has always been a tradition with our development, the reason why our ancestors are willing to implement such a system, is because they fully consider the rationality and necessity of the existence of slaves, this is the traditional culture of our Blackfoot Village, and the soul of our Blackfoot Village.... Today, if we lightly abandon tradition for the sake of immediate benefits, is it not a move against our ancestors? If our ancestors were to be angry and stop protecting us, wouldn't Blackfoot be in crisis? So in my opinion, there is no need to be so urgent in this matter, but it is still necessary to think about it slowly. Slavery cannot be abolished, and trade can also be done together. According to you, this may affect each other, but it is the best policy not to abandon tradition. ”

The old men and ladies around him let out approving voices, and Kurisu could hardly help but sneer, but Andy stepped up.

"Elder Hardbones, you said that the slavery system is a fine tradition designed and implemented by the ancestors of Blackfoot Village after full consideration, but I have some disagreement here, I found a relic left by the Blackfoot ancestor in Beishan, and there is some evidence there to prove that Elder Kuruisu's reform is the real return to the Blackfoot tradition, not what you call abandonment."

As he spoke, he showed the holographic cassette in his hand and began to play.
