Philos couldn't help but chuckle: "I've always been very relieved that you're doing things." ”

Although it was just an exaggeration that didn't hurt and didn't have any actual reward, it made Joshua feel so comfortable.

He hummed reservedly, then leaned over to see Philos' modifications to the magic circle.

"Huh? Why did it change to this? ”

Philosa's summoning magic array is very strange.

Not only has the transaction content been changed to the lowest level of summoning, but the summon conditions have even been fixed.

Philos didn't explain right away, but asked him a question: "If I were to exchange a gold coin for a year's life for you, would you be willing?" ”

Joshua didn't think about it and said, "Is my year worth only one gold coin?!" ”

His salary plus bonuses and subsidies is already 500,000, which is still a monthly salary! If you count the year-end bonus, there are even 7 million, and the annual tax paid is more than 2 million gold coins.

A gold coin? It's not enough to buy him for a minute!

Philos looked at him meaningfully, "But some people will feel a lot. ”

In cities outside of Lanceville, the average daily wage for a male able-bodied laborer is 2 copper coins, and for female and juvenile laborers it is 1 copper coin, and child labor is even less.

Working more than ten hours a day, they can barely make ends meet, and they have to pay heavy taxes, and most civilians have no savings in their hands.

How much is a gold coin?

It is 10,000 copper coins, which is the money that can only be earned by strong laborers who work two jobs a day without sleeping, eating or drinking, and working for about 7 years.

Slaves worked for 7 years without even 1 copper coin!

But if you make a deal with the demon, you will lose a year of life, and you will be able to get it.

Even if there is no tax in the middle to make the difference, the body does not have to suffer the sin of hard work.

Demons can eat life force, and those who draw summoning arrays can get money.

And those civilians and slaves who had money were able to use the money to buy food, books, and magic bracelets.

Then make more money with the magic bracelet.

Is it worth it?

It's a loss-making business for Joshua, and even for Lanceville's people, but for those who are desperate and struggling, there's nothing better than it.

Joshua was a little worried: "What if someone uses this method to enrich themselves?" ”

For example, the nobles let the slaves buy food for the price of a gold coin and a bowl of rice, or they would have to starve to death.

Another example is that the lord uses the tax of one Monday gold coins to make the lords pay taxes, otherwise they can only go to slavery.

At that time, it became an of lords, nobles and slave owners.

Philos: "......"

Philos rubbed his eyebrows and placed the demon summoning array aside.

Joshua couldn't bear to look at his lost appearance, and blamed it all on the damned greedy nobles: "It's all because they're so bad!" ”

Joshua rebuked harshly.

Philos couldn't help but smile: "I'm not lost because of this, really. ”

While he was talking, there was a lot of excitement below.

It's the Elven Queen who has returned.

Harrow jumped in fright, thinking that Lanceville had forbidden the fight to stabilize his most basic calm.

But if you don't use your hands, you can still keep your mouth shut?

The Elf Queen didn't know what she said, she probably just told the truth, summed up what happened that day and night, and before she could finish speaking, Harrow rushed at the Elf Queen like crazy.

The Elven Queen's eyes flashed with coldness, and she raised her sword to slash at him, but soon, Harrow took a step back.

"Siri—Siri—I turn myself in! I just had a tendency to deliberately retaliate! I turn myself in! Intentional injury attempt, right! I deliberately attempted injury!! ”

Harrow shouted very loudly, how he said it was also a legend, the elf queen was not good at fighting, and she still used an extremely uneasy heavy sword, and she was even distanced by Harrow for a while.

Siri is very dedicated, they don't understand the contradictions and struggles between humans, and since Harrow shouted that he had deliberately attempted to harm, Siri rushed to arrest him.

The Elven Queen's face was extremely ugly, she never expected that Harrow would maintain a minimum of calm in this situation.

Is this the aristocracy?

The elven queen was about to crunch her back molars, but Harrow was not in much better spirits.

He now has nothing but the title of this duke and the rank of legend!!

Nothing!

He wants to go crazy, he wants to vent, he wants revenge, he wants to-

But everything is only possible when it is necessary to die.

What he has to do now is not to go head-to-head with the elven queen who has gone crazy, but to find a way to protect himself, and slowly figure it out.

The royal family would not necessarily protect him, he knew too well the general behavior of the aristocracy.

The royal family will only shed a few tears for what happened to him, and then hand him over, a nobleman who does not bring much benefit but will offend the elves.

Not to mention the "friends" who drank bubble water and ate barbecue together yesterday, unless the elves predicted that they would attack them next, they would not unite at all.

They will even curry favor with the elves - but don't forget, the elves have all the property and slaves of the Galt family in their hands.

This is their spoils of war, and no one can touch them until they are allowed to do so, or they will wait to be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows!

How to save your life......

As soon as Harrow received the news, he began to think about it.

The best candidate is, of course, Philos.

The sex slave he sent yesterday hadn't had time to send back the news, but I don't think anyone would refuse such a thoughtful and delicate gift.

It's just that Philos' style of doing things is not like that of an aristocrat, and he can't feel the temper of the other party.

Fortunately, he has been in Lanceville for so long, and he also knows a lot about Lancevelly's basic situation.

Yuxi Zheng Li——

The public security management regulations that he had ridiculed before have now become his life talisman.

The prison in Lansville is safe, and there is no safer place than there.

Built underneath the terminal of the Bone Dragon Express Bus, dozens of Bone Dragons come and go every day, all of which are legendary.

There are also dark knights patrolling below, and if something happens, millions of undead will attack them.

What's more, the use of force in Lanceville is to get along with Philos, and there is no safer place than there.

Harrow was very unwilling, and it would be too embarrassing to do so, so he struggled before he was cornered.

If Philos was willing to see him, he was willing to donate all his possessions to Lancevelly in exchange for safety, and although most of his possessions became spoils of the elves, with his master's gift, Philos would be able to return it in the name of justice.

No one would refuse so much wealth.

But to his pity, in the end, he had to go to prison to protect himself.

The charge of attempted intentional injury is not small or small, and it can be released after a year, but during this year, voluntary labor is required to atone for one's crime.

No one can escape this kind of voluntary labor.

Harrow wasn't clear on that.

The Elven Queen was clear, so when she went to find Philos, she didn't have the furious fury that Harrow had imagined.

The Elven Queen said straight to the point: "Lord Philos, can you take over the slaves of the Galt family?" ”

The Elven Queen had gone home to take a shower in front of Philos, and the smell of blood on her body had been replaced by the scent of plants and trees, but there were still traces of madness in her eyes.

"Isn't this your slave?"

The elven queen said uncomfortably, "I don't need slaves, no elves do." ”

The life of the elves is very simple, most of the elves are women, and they don't even have to be obsessed with getting married and having a partner and children.

They are very hands-on, planting, weaving, music, bow making, ...... Therefore, the materialistic desire for life is so low that it is incomprehensible to human beings.

Completely self-sufficient, they don't need any slaves.

They also don't domesticate animals, those monsters are their companions, not domestic animals, but friends.

Therefore, the elves never thought about what to do with the slaves after they had beaten Galt.

Elves are not a warlike race, and the reason why they are so crazy is only for self-preservation.

They were not murderous, but they also had some compassion for slaves.

Although they destroyed the Galt family's castle, none of the civilians nor slaves were touched.

Galt is Galt, commoner is commoner, slave is slave.

They were already miserable at the hands of Galt, and it would be pitiful to inflict any more atrocities on them.

But it doesn't work to leave it alone.

They have no property, not even food, and if they don't care about it, they will be frozen into ice sculptures in the cold winter.

The Elven Queen is not a good manager, she knows this very well.

The elves are free and scattered, and there are few of them, so there is nothing for her to manage.

But there were too many slaves.

So much so that when she heard the numbers, she felt breathless.

I just thought of Lanceville's lack of work, isn't this just the right time to send workers to Lanceville?!

She can't manage so many people, let alone so many people, and Lanceville lacks people, isn't it complementary?!

These slaves are a burden to the Elven Queen, but they are good labor for Lanceville!

As long as you train it, you can create value!

As for selling to someone else - the elf queen is still reluctant.
