Chapter 462 Slaves
As the moon of fire is approaching, the temperature in the mainland is gradually rising. The winter clothes have fulfilled their mission and are gradually being removed from people's bodies, and they are replaced with light spring and summer clothes - of course, that is for nobles like Dempsey .

"There is a hole in this spring dress."

Dempsey looked down, and the focus of his sight was the corner of the clothes he was holding with one hand, and there was a small hole in it at some point.Judging from the irregular shape, it should be bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Damn rat,"

Dempsey murmured to himself, then raised his head and looked forward, seeing tall and dense forests rejuvenated in spring, but the scenery of emerald green people did not make him feel better. Instead, he gradually became irritable and whispered Cursing: "Damn dragons, damn Normans, damn empires, damn old Dick!..."

Looking from a distance, you can see that Dempsey is sitting in a two-driver carriage, in a queue.

The queue was not too long, and there were less than a hundred people in total. Among them, there were seven or eight carriages and a dozen horses. The horses were all armored warriors, but their armor looked a bit shabby. Either there is no leg armor, or the breastplate is covered with rust, or it is simply a strange shape with one arm guard and the other bare arm, which looks like a full-fledged army.

Except for a few of these riders and chariots, most of the other people in the team walked on the ground and followed quickly. From their clothes, they can basically be divided into two categories.Although the clothes in one category are shabby, they are still tidy at least, and they often carry big packages on their backs, or drag some things on simple self-made small pallets. Poor ones, the clothes on their bodies are all torn, they don’t even have a single piece of clothing, and they carry more things on their backs than those in the first category. These people account for a small minority, and there are about a dozen of them in total.

Looking back at the carriage, one could see that there was another person sitting in the same carriage as Dempsey, a woman.

Compared with Dempsey, who is fat and short, this woman is almost as tall as Dempsey sitting there, and her appearance is much better.

After hearing Dempsey's nagging complaints, she lowered her head and saw the hole in Dempsey's clothes, and comforted her: "It's just a small hole, I'll just sew it up."

Hearing the woman's comfort, Dempsey finally stopped complaining, stretched out his hand to grab the woman's hand, said nothing, and his eyes gradually calmed down.It's just that after he looked forward, he saw the desolate scene in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but gradually became irritable, and he muttered to himself: "I don't know what happened when I moved my family to Seaham this time." Whether it’s right or wrong, I heard it’s very messy there... If it’s not that there’s nothing I can do, I really don’t want to go..."

Having said that, Dempsey couldn't help cursing again: "Damn Dragon, damn Norman, damn Empire, damn old Dick, damn Randall, damn Cynthia!"

Compared with before, he added two more names to his cursing sentence this time, and when he heard these two names, the woman next to him immediately changed his expression, looked around subconsciously, stretched out his slender hand, and covered Deng. Puth's mouth.

But Dempsey pulled the woman's hand away and said, "What are you afraid of? They can't protect themselves now! And we're going to Seaham soon, can they care what I say?!"

The woman was very timid, and whispered: "It's always better to be careful, don't you want to go back for the rest of your life?"

This sentence aroused Dempsey's reverie, his eyes were dazed for a while, and he said with a sad smile: "The Dragon Clan has returned to the mainland. The kingdom can really drive out the dragons like it did more than 1000 years ago, and we don't know if we can last until then."

Hearing Dempsey's words, the woman didn't know what to say for a moment, she could only comfort her: "If you think about it, things will always turn around. Maybe it won't take long for the kingdom to drive away the dragons?" But looking at her expression, it was obvious that she herself did not believe this sentence.

If the kingdom could really drive the dragons out of the country so easily, why would they need to abandon everything, not even the noble titles, and go to the legendary chaotic place?

The two fell into silence for a while, but the sad atmosphere didn't last long, and Dempsey quickly laughed, and said bitterly: "Actually, it's not bad now, at least we can raise slaves, can't we? "He said, with a big wave of his hand, he drew a half circle, passing the most ragged poor people on the left side of the team.

"Seventeen slaves, this is something that even the most heroic grandfather in my family history failed to do!"

The woman didn't know what to say, so she could only nod.However, there was a hint of resentment in the eyes she inadvertently glanced over those slaves. Obviously, this pampered lady is not very suitable for this kind of social hierarchy that has been cut off for a long time.

Coincidentally, the two of them were talking about these slaves. A thin and ragged male slave in the back row of the line suddenly swayed as he walked. He didn't shake twice. Finally, he rushed straight down and fell to the ground, and the things he was carrying also fell off and scattered all over the ground, blocking the way of the people behind.

Suddenly such an accident occurred, the second half of the team stopped suddenly, and the first half of the team was stopped in time after walking a short distance.

"What happened!"

Dempsey climbed down from the carriage, and hurried over here.

The place where the incident happened has been surrounded by several servants, and there are two knights dismounted from their horses standing beside them to maintain discipline in order to avoid emergencies. Mr. Harvey, Dempsey's butler, is in charge of the overall situation inside.

People along the way saw Dempsey approaching, and they all gave way so that Dempsey could enter inside smoothly.

After Dempsey walked inside, he found the slave who had fallen to the ground.

He has been turned from a prostrate state facing the ground to a supine position. It can be clearly seen that there is a bloodstain on his forehead, and the blood is still oozing slowly, and at the position where he fell just now , a few stones on the ground were stained with bright red blood.

As for the scattered things on the ground, slaves are already cleaning them up, and they are almost done.

"The slave broke his head."

Mr. Harvey, who was middle-aged and had a clean gentleman's beard, briefed Dempsey on the situation at the scene, and finally asked for instructions: "Master, what should we do? He has been in a coma, no matter how he shakes If you don’t wake up, if you take him away, you can only find a carriage to carry him.”

Dempsey frowned when he heard that he was looking for a carriage to carry this guy, and when he saw how dirty this guy was all over his body, he frowned even tighter.After thinking for a while, he finally waved his hand, "Throw it away."

Although this slave is his private property, it is a pity to just lose it like this, but this guy is now unconscious and injured, and I don't know if he can wake up, and keeping him not only can't work, but also wastes precious horsepower Resources are really not worth it, so just throw them away.

When Harvey heard this, he replied: "Yes." He wanted to order people to throw this guy to the side of the road, so as not to block the way, but there were whispers among the surrounding slaves.

"He's not dead yet!"

"At least help him bandage the wound."

"Ugh……"

……

Those slaves were not only talking, but their eyes were full of the sorrow of rabbits and foxes. Obviously, these poor people who were originally civilians are not quite used to slavery, a system that has long since disappeared from people's daily life. perspective.But it was also because they looked at it from the perspective of civilians, so no one dared to stand up and put forward such a bold proposal to save this slave, but just talking about it made Dempsey very dissatisfied.

"Do you want to be thrown out with him too!"

Dempsey yelled, and looked over majesticly one by one. Those slaves who met his eyes all lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look at him, and kept silent, for fear of being accidentally thrown by him in this deserted place. wilderness mountains.

Being a slave is a bit miserable, but it's better than being eaten by wild animals alone in the wild.

After Dempsey looked around again, he saw the slaves around him trembling under his eyes, and felt very happy in his heart. After rolling his eyes, he said very proudly: "Want to save him? Yes, I also I don’t want my property to be lost in vain. If any of you are willing to carry him all the way, then save it!”

As soon as this sentence came out, the slaves fell silent.

Since they were captured by Dempsey as slaves, these people couldn't eat much, they had never been full, and it was difficult for them to be half-full.

If they want to save him now, they will not only have to carry heavy loads, but also add this slave. Was thrown out of the convoy.With Mingzhe protecting himself, naturally no one would plead for mercy and cause trouble for the upper body.

Seeing no response, Dempsey was about to order the guy to be thrown away again, but at this moment, a voice came from the surrounding crowd.

"I come."

Dempsey followed the prestige, and the people around him retreated like a tide, letting out the person who made the sound.

It was a very tall man, dirty and sloppy, with thick hair and a scruffy beard, which looked like a savage. The clothes on his body were also in tatters, only better than strips of cloth.

Ordinarily, for a person of such a size, the muscles on his body should not be too bad, but this person does not have any muscles - looking through the holes around the tattered clothes, it can be seen that although he is not too fat, his body is loose of fat.But even so, he still suffered from his tall stature. The box he was carrying was the largest among all the slaves, even bigger than most of the boxes tied to the carriage, and it was half the size of his body. Judging from the rope that was tightened around his shoulders and sunk into the skin, it was obvious that the box was not only big, but also very heavy.

"you?"

Dempsey had some impression of this man.

This was a man he had met on his way to Seaham, together with another woman of the same stature, both of whom looked very down and dirty, walking slowly by the side of the road.He took a fancy to each other's figure, they should be very capable of work, so he naturally took them into his slaves - in front of the shining weapons of the knights, these two guys didn't say "no" right.

In troubled times, everything is so easy, and most of Dempsey's seventeen slaves came this way.

Dempsey looked at the slave twice, thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, you come."

In Dempsey's eyes, slaves are also divided into grades. This tall man is undoubtedly a very high-quality one. He really doesn't want the other party to suffer for no reason, and even "break" this slave.But since this guy really dares to stand up, then he really has to give this guy a hard time, and let the other slaves see by the way that this one is not so easy to get out.

After getting permission from Dempsey, the tall man unloaded the box on his back, put it on the ground, then picked it up again, carried the box on his chest, and finally, with the help of other slaves, He carried the unconscious slave on his back.

But it doesn't stop there.

"Put those things on your back too!"

Dempsey had already left, and now it was Harvey the housekeeper who was giving the order, and as he spoke, he pointed to the large package that had been scattered on the ground before and had been packed up at this moment.

Although the big package is not as big as this huge tall box, it is obviously not light in weight. The other slaves couldn't bear it when they heard the words, but they also understood what they should do as slaves after these days In the end, he had no choice but to follow Harvey's order and help tie the big package to the unconscious slave again.

A big box in the front, and a person in the back plus a big package, these weights add up, even if this tall man is tall, he can't bear it, his waist can't help but sink, and then he straightens up slowly, with his waist straightened, and his forehead But fine drops of sweat were already oozing out.

"Let's go!"

After packing up everything, the butler Harvey shouted, and after giving an order, the team set off again and continued to move forward.

The big tall man was in the line, one kick after another, striding forward with difficulty but steadily.

His body swayed from time to time, looking like he was about to fall at any time, but he didn't fall down after all, which made the few people around him who had been slaves for a while and hadn't been completely numb by this miserable life look quite worried.But they could only see the heavy burden on the tall man, but they couldn't see the mental torture imposed on the tall man.

"...the superego tends to take a stand against the id, and it encompasses what we think is right and the punishment we anticipate when we violate our moral code, as you are doing now. "

This sound can only be heard by the tall ones.
