Above the Seven Towers

After Xiao Chen and Luo Ling said goodbye, their hearts were agitated. He originally wanted to take these slaves, but it meant that the school would make more money and let his own people develop faster. I did not think deeply about what my actions would bring to the world here. But after talking with Luo Ling. He suddenly found himself standing at the beginning of a road. If you go down this path, the world is likely to part ways with its past.

Standing at the bifurcation point of history, as a promoter of participation, this feeling makes people feel like they are in the cloud. But can you really do it yourself? He was just a graduate student who had been a small reporter for two years. Apart from his flexibility, he was not very special. He has read some history and knows how great and terrifying the power of history is. A person in it is like sailing in a typhoon-ridden ocean. Even if he is extremely cautious, he may be buried in a fish belly at any time.

Can it really be done? He looked around and wanted to find a companion, but at this time, whether it was Luo Ling, Li Jia, or Lao Chen, these companions were already busy with their own affairs. For a moment he felt enveloped by loneliness.

Xiao Chen sweated with palms and cold soles. He hoped that someone would come and talk to himself at this time, anyone could do anything ...

Tiansuiren wished that at this time, a Roger soldier rushed over and shouted: "Sir Xiao, something happened outside!"

———————————————————————

In the open space behind the hillside outside Suero, the slaves were divided into two or three hundred people to rest on the spot, watched by Kalanda, Roger and his soldiers.

More than a dozen large pots have been set up among them, and the women took the water to boil and were preparing food for the evening.

It may be that there was a collision in the process of working. Several slaves fought and shoved between them. The original small conflict had become a group fight of dozens of people. The slaves who were doing nothing around watched the scene, and they all watched and applauded, and even many of the warriors who guarded them also passed by.

Karanda angrily took a few soldiers to stop, knocking dozens of troublemakers to the ground.

But he did not expect another group of slaves to take advantage of everyone's attention to the fighting people, attacked the soldiers guarding a lorry, grabbed food and belongings, and began to run away.

This was among a group of insecure and insecure slaves, which immediately caused a chain reaction. Many people with escape ideas, or people who did not believe in Xiao Chen, joined the robbery and began to escape. .

There are not many warriors left behind. The leader is Roger ’s lieutenant Jacob. He has only about 40 or 50 warriors under his hands. There are only two original rogers in the middle. , Lost control, and ordered them to get close together and hold tightly some of the most valuable possessions. A few carts of food on the periphery were looted by the slaves.

Karanda saw this scene and did not chase the running slave. Instead, he came to the middle of the remaining slaves and cut down a thick tree next to him with a sword, shouting loudly, "Sit me down in the same place. Whoever dares to move is like this tree!"

And Roger came out and chased out of the camp ...

When Xiao Chen followed the reported soldiers out of the city of Sueiro, he happened to meet Roger who blocked a group of escaped slaves.

Roger carried the sword, and there was blood dripping from the tip of the Thundersword. In front of him, two men fell in a pool of blood, with food and belongings scattered around them. Behind the corpse is a group of trembling people, these men and women, old and young, the only thing in common is that they are carrying or holding some food and property.

"What's going on?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Sir, we are incompetent, not optimistic about them, and let people run away. I came here, and two men wanted to attack me and beheaded by me. At this time, I had to strike hard."

Xiao Chen glanced at the corpse on the ground, "This is not to blame you, we people like us have to control our slaves a hundred times, how easy it is. I want you and Kalanda to bear the burden of so many people, It ’s hard for you. You ’re doing right, take them back. ”

"Yes!" Roger froze his face and shouted to the dozens of people in front of him: "Hear no, hurry back, otherwise these two people on the ground will be your end."

The people looked at each other, and the first few of them knelt down at once, and a middle-aged man pleaded with sorrow: "Adult, please let us go. We will be grateful for you all our lives."

Xiao Chen scrutinized a few of them, and found that these people looked honest, not like that kind of traitor, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you want to go? I didn't promise you would put you in place?"

"This ..., this ..." Several people stood up.

"Don't you know that if you run away like this, you might be caught by other lords to do the coolie, or even be executed directly?" Xiao Chen puzzled.

Instead of explaining it, a few people sifted it like a chaff.

Xiao Chen had no time to spend with them, picking up a person with his backhand and dragging him to himself. Since his body has been transformed by white light, his strength has been slowly increasing. Although he can't compare with the samurai of the same rank, mentioning a person is effortless.

"You know, I'm a magician. If I want you to talk, there are many ways. You don't even need to worry about whether you are a living or a dead person. Now I have very limited patience. You'd better tell me immediately why you are leaving."

auzw.com The middle-aged man he mentioned was obviously frightened by the name of the magician. In front of a magician who could talk to the dead, he chose to surrender wisely. I spit out everything I knew: "Everyone started thinking about hitting the slave camp with you, but I didn't expect that later things would change. I don't know why no one chased us. Later, someone asked me that you bought us all. Down, no matter whether it was a slave merchant, the Suero people, or the Knights of the Temple, this thing was recognized by many people. This time many people feel that something is wrong. No one has ever bought so many slaves. This has never happened to this kind of people. Everyone is very scared. Some people say that our food is not enough to eat for a few days. If it is sent to wasteland, then 80% will be starved to death. You are to solve the trouble for slave merchants. Some people say that the magician will ... Yes ... Cannibalism. I bought so many people in the past and prepared to save them for eating. Others said that if so many slaves were requisitioned at once, they would definitely be taken to the front line of the empire for repairs. . "

"Do any of you believe it?"

"A lot of people believe."

"I didn't say that, let you follow me to build your new home?"

"Ah? What do you really think? Which lord bought the slaves back and let the slaves build their own homes. The lords were eager to squeeze each slave into dry food. Who would think about the slaves? What did they guess? Although no one can say clearly, it sounds more reliable than "going to build your own new home". "

Xiao Chen couldn't hear it, and his thoughts were treated as nonsense in this era, and he still has no credibility with the rumors of the magician eating people. But when he saw these trembling poor people in front of him, he couldn't get angry, so ignorance and blind faith were not their own fault, but the evil results of this society. This is one of the biggest challenges he has to face.

Xiao Chen let go of the middle-aged people, and the people who were still kneeling on the floor said, "I swear here in the name of a magician and will never hurt any of you. Now, get up and follow me!"

But those people were still lying on the ground, no one got up.

Xiao Chen knew that the time was pressing, and once he gritted his teeth, he released the enchanting magic of trust.

After a minute ...

"Roger Knight, you are so handsome."

"Boy, those two guys just killed well. Unfortunately, I didn't want to help you."

"Brother Roda, wherever you point, we will rush wherever you go, whoever will cut it."

"Sir Roger, come to our tent at night!"

Roger was surrounded by the slaves, the men wanted to hook up with him, the women were going to wipe oil on him, Roger turned left and right, sweating anxiously. what!"

"It's okay, they just like you. You are already very experienced, and now take them back to the camp."

When Xiao Chen and Roger returned to the slave camps, most people's emotions had stabilized. But more than two hundred people escaped, another twenty people were killed by guards during the escape, and more than fifty people were injured in the chaos. The riot caused considerable damage.

Xiao Chen looked at these fearful and frightened slaves and decided to do something. He didn't release charm magic anymore, because it couldn't cure the root cause, and Roger's pleading look was too pitiful.

He decided to persuade these people with words.

Xiao Chen stood among the slaves, picked up a copper horn, looked around, and spoke to the slaves: "Brothers and sisters ..."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, there was silence all around, and then there was a loud noise, and all the slaves were frightened by Xiao Chen's title. No one has ever called these slaves this way, let alone many masters only treated them as animals. Even Roger and Kalanda were surprised, wondering if Xiao Chen was wrong.

"I call you like this, not to make fun of you, nor to laugh at you. It is from the heart to see you as a person with dignity, a person like me. We can be open like brothers and sisters Come to talk, chat. I can use my magician's reputation and even my life to swear. What I am saying is true.

When you see yourself as a real person, those old men are no different from us. Everyone has the same head, the same hands. They can laugh, cry, attach themselves to their parents, and love their children. But why are they standing high, and we are here? "

Xiao Chen looked at these people, confused, resentful, jealous, puzzled, numb, and so on.

"Because this world does not give you such a chance! This world allows you to live miserably from birth, or slowly walk into a dilapidated situation. This world is cold, ruthless, and full of maliciousness to you! But, I will give you the opportunity I come from a very distant place, I do not follow the ugly rules here, follow me, you can save yourself and find the dignity of being a man.

Some people died today, I feel sorry, but they have no sympathy for them. Even those who wish to give themselves up are not worthy of sympathy! I do n’t want to say more, because a thousand words, ten thousand words, and no facts are persuasive. I hope you follow me, take a look, give it a try, this will definitely change your life! "

Xiao Chen saw that there were hopes on some people's faces, but most people were still indifferent. He knew that it was a long process to gain the real trust of these people.

He pointed to a large herd of cattle not far away: "Today, in celebration of your new beginning, kill ten pigs and open up to everyone."

"Long live!" At this time all the people showed a ecstatic look, and the cries broke out, resounding through the sky.
