Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 273 Let’s sign a labor contract

More than a year ago in Tacoma County, people were coming and going, throwing silver and gold.

 Sea trade, land transportation! The wealth brought benefits everyone.

 Why did it become like this?

 In fact, every businessman and every civilian has an idea in mind.

 The death of the Tacoma man in the war was somewhat suspicious.

 This is also a doubt in the minds of many people.

 It's just...they can't twist the general trend, and they can't change the general trend.

Now that the new owner of Tacoma has arrived, many people are on the streets and behind the windows of their homes, watching the silver armor guns whizzing past, and everyone is trembling with fear.

 They don’t know the character and conduct of the new lord.

 But at least it left an impression on them.

  The new lords are very strong and they cannot resist.

 I hope he's not the kind of lord who messes around.

Many people have this idea in mind, repairing doors and windows while hiding weapons to prevent gray orcs from snatching them into their homes.

It didn't take long for them to watch in amazement. Those silver-armored warriors rushed up to beat the gray orcs who were robbing them, and then escorted them to the prison in batches.

In just one night, the entire Tacoma County became much quieter.

　At first, people thought that the gray orcs would be released soon, but after several days, the gray orcs were locked in the prison, and soon the prison could no longer hold it.

Then people watched in surprise as large groups of gray orcs, under the control of a few silver-armored warriors, cut down wood and opened up wasteland outside the city.

Such a scene reminds all normal people in Tacoma County of the good old days.

 They immediately had a favorable impression of the new lord.

These **** people are normal people.

A few days later, the gray orcs built a temporary prison by themselves, and the gray orcs who were still wandering on the streets would be taken away directly by the silver-armored warriors and imprisoned in the newly built prison.

Soon, Tacoma County was completely quiet.

 It’s so quiet that everyone is a little unaccustomed to it.

 Master Bai returned home carrying a hoe. Two maids came up to him and patted his body gently.

"There are no manpower." Mr. Bayi slumped down on his soft chair helplessly: "We have more than one hundred acres of land at home, and we only need eight people to work on it. How long will it take to finish it?"

His old wife walked over from the side and said, "Master, this is not an option. The three children at home can't hold on anymore."

"Alas!" Mr. Bayi let out a long sigh: "Then where can we go? I heard that Louisian County in the south is recruiting free people. As long as we go there, we will give away fields. I don't know how much."

 “Then shall we give up the fields here?”

Mr. Bayi smiled bitterly: "I can't take the fields. If I want to leave, I have to give up. But now the price of the fields is very low, not even one-third of the previous price. I feel heartbroken when I sell it."

 “I’m heartbroken too.” The old wife sighed.

Now they can neither leave nor stay, and they feel very depressed.

Just when the two of them were worried, the maid came in in a panic and said: "Master, there is a big man outside who wants to see you."

 Grandpa?

Mr. Bayi was a little curious. When he walked to the door and took a look, his heart trembled.

There was a silver-armored warrior standing outside. He had taken off his helmet and was holding it with one hand.

 “Is this Mr. Bai?” asked the silver-armored warrior.

 Bayi nodded repeatedly.

“Before two o’clock in the afternoon, please go to the central square of the city to participate in the special talent market exchange meeting held by our master.”

 What the **** is this?

 This was Mr. Bayi’s first reaction.

Each word sounds understandable, but when connected together it feels weird.

 Then he asked instinctively: "Can you not go?"

The silver-armored warrior just smiled and then left.

Although the other party was not aggressive at all, Mr. Yi still felt the coldness on his neck.

He immediately went home, washed and dressed up, and when the time came, he went out on his little donkey.

It was very quiet along the way. After all, there were fewer people in the city now, so there was nothing we could do. But when he was about to reach the central square, Bayi saw a few acquaintances walking in that direction.

 Everyone greeted each other and walked together.

Master Bayi asked: "Do you know what the new lord is doing?"

 Everyone shook their heads.

When I arrived at the central square, I found that there were already many people waiting there. They were all acquaintances and well-known gentry in the city.

 It’s not about slaughtering a fat sheep.

Everyone was a little frightened.

At this time, a high platform has been built in the center of the square, and there are several silver-armored warriors patrolling nearby.

While waiting a little uneasily, they saw groups of gray orcs being escorted from the west and placed behind the high platform.

Soon, another team of knights arrived, led by a young man wearing black clothes.

 Very handsome, with a very good temperament, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.

Master Bayi immediately thought of his two unmarried daughters, but then he shook his head and sighed.

 They are not worthy.

 The handsome young man came to the square, dismounted his horse, and walked to the high platform.

 The whole square fell silent.

The gray orcs behind were still chirping and humming, but they all fell silent after being whipped by the silver-armored warrior.

The young man's eyes slowly swept across the square.

 Everyone below felt goosebumps on their bodies. They felt like they were facing a lion.

 “Good afternoon everyone.”

 “I am the new Lord of Tacoma, Hardy.”

"Recently, we found that there are many gray orcs in Tacoma County who don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes. They cause a lot of troubles on the streets."

 Hearing this, the gentry all had strange expressions.

 The young people on the stage continued to talk.

"As the lord of France, I am very kind and can't see them working so hard and pitifully. So I decided to find new job opportunities for them."

“With the consent of all the gray orcs, I take on the task of finding new employers for them.”

The faces of the gentry all turned ugly.

 Hire gray orcs as workers or servants?

 Forcing a mission?

 What a joke.

 The family will be lost.

No one from the north could do such a disgusting thing.

The young man seemed to see the ugly faces of everyone, but he did not stop and continued talking.

“I will sign a labor contract with you on their behalf at a suitable price. Now the labor contract will be issued to you. Let’s take a look.”

Hearing this, many silver-armored warriors came over and stuffed pieces of parchment over them.

The gentry are not interested. They don’t want to hire a group of uncles to go home.

  And they felt even more bored with this young lord.

What the hell.

Recklessly.

 But they did not dare to show it on the surface, so they had to accept the contract politely.

 At first they just pretended to look at it, but then, one person's expression turned into surprise.

 Others also noticed something was wrong. They snatched the contract form from their companions and read it carefully for a while. They also looked happy.

 Employment period one hundred years?

 Just make sure you don’t kill maliciously?

 Take care of them as you would your own farming tools?

middle!
