One of the pirate swords splits the new world

"Lord Archon, you must make the decision for us."

Standing in front of the consul of Lille were the five remaining minor nobles in Lille except the Earl of Lille. This morning, they came here one after another and reported that someone knocked out the guard at their home last night and let the slaves go.

It seems that those three people did not go to sea. The consul felt a little irritated, and then angrily yelled at one of the little nobles who was talking: "It's just a few slaves, what the heck! If you let me make the decision, I can arrest them. But what if they take revenge because they are wanted? ? Even the hundreds of thugs at the Earl of Lille's mansion couldn't stop them."

"This..." Several young nobles looked at each other.

The consul sighed and said: "Forget it, they are just a few slaves. The money is not lost, and the lives are still there. Just pretend that this never happened and go back."

After hearing the consul's order to expel guests, several minor nobles had no choice but to leave in despair.

----

After running around all night, the three of Ryan returned to Dock No. 7 and went to rest. The slaves they had just brought back were handed over to Boss Dave and Sylvie to take care of them.

After they woke up in the afternoon, after dinner, the five of them discussed together how to deal with these slaves. After much discussion, Ryan finally made the decision.

Another five days passed, and it was already the tenth day since the first batch of slaves arrived at Dock No. 7, and the fifth day since the second batch of slaves arrived. Things were getting better for the slaves, at least these days they were even brave enough to talk in private. The governor of Lille City still had no further measures to take.

In the morning, Ryan stood on the box and shouted loudly: "Everyone, starting in front of me, line up!"

All the slaves looked at Ryan and did not move. Ryan pulled out his knife and shouted repeatedly: "Can't you hear me? Everyone, stand in line!"

When the slaves saw Ryan pulling out the knife, they immediately stood up from the ground, and then lined up in a row.

Seeing the slaves lined up, Ryan walked down from the box and sat down behind a table. Aslan sat next to Ryan with a pen and paper. Then Ryan pointed to the first slave in line - the child who was first called out by Ryan from the dungeon, and said: "You, come here!"

Wait until the child slowly walks to the table. Ryan said: "Name?"

"Huh?" The child was confused.

Ryan thought he didn't hear clearly and repeated the question. "We what's your name."

"Arya."

"Girl?" Ryan was stunned when he heard the name. He always thought that the kid with short hair in front of him was a boy. However, children at this age have not yet developed and their gender signs are not obvious, so it is easy to admit mistakes. Putting this matter aside, Ryan continued to ask: "Where are you from? Where was your birthplace?"

"I...I don't know." The child, I shouldn't say the little girl, replied stutteringly.

"You don't know where you made the noise?" Ryan frowned. The child was indeed in trouble.

"I was born on a boat. I have always lived on a boat with my father. My father took me to many places."

"Where's your dad? Where's your mom?"

"Dad was killed. He told me that mom went to a far away place." As she spoke, the little girl's voice seemed to be about to cry.

Ryan thought about it through her words: her mother died when she was young, possibly due to dystocia; her father took him sailing on the sea all the time, maybe he was a boat owner. Then she met pirates, her father was killed, and she was sold to a slave ship.

Ryan didn't ask, and glanced at Aslan who was sitting next to him recording. Aslan nodded to indicate that it had been recorded.

Ryan asked Sylvie to take the little girl named Arya aside first. Then he shouted to the second slave: "You, come here!"

"What is your name!"

"Where are you from!"

……

Ryan questioned them one by one like interrogating prisoners. The first batch of 57 people and the second batch of 17 people, except for the doctor Peake who had already dealt with them, by the time everyone had finished questioning, it was already noon.

Then, Ryan took the recorded information, stepped on the box again, and asked loudly: "Which of you want to go home?"

The slaves were all stunned and looked at each other, no one dared to speak.

Ryan repeated: "Which of you want to go back to your hometown?"

Only then did the slaves react. Because Ryan had been speaking to them in a commanding tone since he released them from prison. That is, their freedom was not declared before them, and their future was not discussed with them. In the eyes of these slaves, the Lanes and the three people locked them up in this dock after taking them out, with the intention of selling them to make money. Except for not whipping them and giving them food and clothes, Lane and the others were actually not much different from the previous slave traders. But now I heard Ryan asking who wanted to go home, and a few bolder slaves asked: "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Yes, I mean you can go home! From today on, you are free!"

Ryan's voice was like the sound of nature to these slaves. With tears of excitement in their eyes, the slaves raised their hands and shouted: "Sir, I want to go home! I want to go home!"

With that said, these people began to push forward. Ryan watched the queue begin to clutter, and continued: "Don't be impatient, everyone. Those who want to go home will line up again from the side."

The slaves formed a new line. There were 74 slaves in total. Ryan counted 62 of them who wanted to go home. Sure enough, for ordinary people living in this world with extremely inconvenient transportation, is it difficult to leave their hometown?

Ryan asked them to come forward one by one, and at the suggestion of Dave's boss, he gave them enough money. In addition to letting them buy boat tickets, there was also some money for expenses along the way. If the distance is far, give more; if the distance is short, give less. On average, each person only has one hundred thousand beli.

When these people got the money one after another, they were extremely excited. One of the slaves asked Ryan: "Sir, please tell me your names. When I return to my hometown, I will definitely spread your name."

The remaining slaves also spoke in agreement.

Lane pointed at himself and said: "My name is Neward Lane, and I am a swordsman."

Then he pointed at Aslan: "He is Arisul Aslan, and he is my partner."

"She is Miss Sylvie."

"He's the owner of the shipyard here, Mr. Dave."

Ryan introduced himself to the crowd, but did not mention Yusuke Sasaki's name. It's not that he forgot, but he had his own considerations, so he didn't mention it on purpose.

Afterwards, Ryan asked the twelve slaves who were unwilling to go home what they thought. They said that their hometown had been destroyed by pirates, their relatives and friends were all dead, and they did not want to return to that sad place. So Ryan made arrangements based on their wishes. Seven of the twelve slaves who had not been sold were arranged to work at the dock or Boss Dave's shipyard, with the same treatment as ordinary people. In order to avoid being encountered by the little nobles again, Ryan gave them a sum of money and a letter to Ryuuji Sasaki, asking them to go to Keyuto Island to make a living. As for the remaining two people, one is homeless Arya and the other is doctor Peake. For these two people, one doesn't know how to deal with it, and the other is Ryan who has some intentions.

Ryan first said to Pique: "Pique, I still need a doctor on my ship. Since you don't want to go back to your hometown, are you willing to come to my ship?"

Peake did not agree immediately, but asked instead: "Mr. Lane, can you tell me what is the purpose of your going to sea?"

Ryan smiled and said: "I want to go see the Great Channel, which is the center of the world. I want to see the world, and if possible, I want to change it."

Peak thought for a while, nodded, and said: "I just want to go to the Grand Waterway. I heard that there is the most advanced medical technology in the world there. I'll leave it to you in the future."

That night, at Ryan's suggestion, everyone held a party to celebrate their new life.

But during the party, Ryan noticed the depressed Yusuke Sasaki.
