The door of the study was pushed open, and Mina was pulling an iron chain, followed by a man wearing a black cloth bag, and at the end was Eliza in leather armor.
"Kneel down." Mina dragged Steward Chi into the study, kicked Steward Chi on his calf, and kicked Steward Chi to his knees.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound when his knees touched the ground, and the pained Guanshi Chi twisted his face, but it was because a log was stuffed in his mouth, and his teeth were opened to the maximum, making him unable to speak a word.
The cat-eared girl reached out and tore off the black hood, revealing Guanshi Chi's fat face, and then slapped him on the back of the head, causing the log stuffed in her mouth to fly out.
"Ahhhhhh..." Chi Guanshi howled dryly, trying to close his mouth, and finally pushed his chin with his arm, so that the half-dislocated chin was aligned again.
"What is your position in the Black Iris organization?" HAD leaned back on the chair and asked calmly, "Who planned the plan?"
"My lord, I don't know what you are talking about. I am a linen merchant who came to Sheba City to do business." Steward Chi shouted pretending to be stupid.
He won't admit it, he will definitely die if he says it, and if he doesn't say it, he can be foolish, maybe there is still a chance.Moreover, he exposed the matter of the Black Iris organization, and it will be difficult for him to live in the future. With the leader's terror, it may be harder for him than death.
"A linen merchant?" HAD narrowed his eyes, and said indifferently, "As far as I know, you have been in Sheba City for eight days, and you went to the linen shop to buy two or three bolts of linen on the first day, and you have nothing to do in the remaining seven days." I have been to the linen shop, stayed in the hotel every day, or went to the shadow puppet shop to watch shadow puppets."
"You tell me? How do you look like a linen merchant?" HAD said coldly, as long as he is a linen merchant, he will pay attention to the price of linen all the time, so that he can buy when the price drops.
"This..." Chi Guanshi's eyes narrowed. He never thought that his actions in Sheba City would be completely monitored, even when he went to a linen shop.
"What? Don't quibble anymore?" HAD crossed his hands and said indifferently, "Do you still think someone from outside the city came to save you?"
"Hmph! Unexpectedly, Your Excellency HAD has so many eyeliners in Sheba City." Steward Chi said indifferently, he stopped pretending to be stupid, because it was completely unnecessary, and even the knights arranged outside the city were known to others. Eighty-nine of them are over.
"You are not bad, you are almost catching up with me." HAD's black eyes flashed coldly, and he said flatly, "Your Black Iris organization really has a way of setting up hundreds of little mice in my city. "
"..." Chi Guanshi's eyes trembled, he didn't expect that all traces of himself and others were exposed, which had never happened before.
"So what if they are all captured by you? Your city will be destroyed by our Black Iris organization sooner or later." Steward Chi sneered.
"Destroy?" The corner of HAD's mouth slightly lifted, with a touch of sneer, "Do you really think that my city can be divided by relying on the issue of branding slaves?"
Chiguan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "It seems that you are nothing more than that. Slaves are indeed slaves. You are really hypocritical when you turn them into slaves again."
"Who said I'm going to turn them into slaves again?" HAD took a sip from his teacup and said indifferently, "I've already solved the problem of branding slaves."
"Impossible." Steward Chi struggled to remember, and was kicked to the ground by Mina, but he still shouted loudly, "Impossible, unless you cut off their flesh with a knife."
"Nothing is impossible. As long as you paint on the slave brand with a permanent color, the problem of the slave brand can be solved." HAD said calmly. If he wants to break down Steward Chi's psychological defense, he must attack him first. .
"Permanent color? It's impossible, you lied to me..." Steward Chi raised his head and roared, his eyes bloodshot.If what HAD said is true, isn't everything he has done for nothing?To die in vain?
"Frog in the well, nothing is impossible in this world." HAD sneered, looking at Guanshi Chi with cold eyes.
"No, the leader won't make mistakes, no..." Steward Chi yelled, poking his neck open, wanting to bite his tongue to kill himself, but Mina kicked him on the cheek, making him dizzy .
"Oh!"
"Want to kill yourself by biting your tongue? Want to choke to death by blood?" HAD raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, as long as you bite off your tongue and stop the bleeding, you won't die."
"No..." Steward Chi shook his head, got up and wanted to refute, but was kicked down by Mina again.
"Take it down, let the Wolf Warriors team take action, I want information about the Black Iris organization." HAD waved his hand, not interested in going to kill it anymore.
"Yes." Minayang kicked Steward Chi's back of the neck skillfully, knocked him unconscious, and dragged Steward Chi away by the iron chain.
Fleur stared blankly at Mina's back, and her green eyes flickered a few times with her neat movements.
Chapter 0469 pay day.
In the early morning, it was a new beginning of the day. The noise and chaos of last night were covered up in the night, leaving only a little talk.
"Last night, did you hear that? The police were dispatched in large numbers, and I heard that some traffickers sneaked in to arrest people."
"Those damned human traffickers are really abominable. They still want to come to Sheba City to catch people. They deserve to be caught."
"Yes, I heard that several girls and boys have been arrested. If the city lord hadn't sent a patrol to save them, they might have been caught and sold."
"..."
Gaba walked on the road, listening to the voices of discussion in her ears, let her know that the patrolmen caught human traffickers last night, no wonder there will be blood, those inhuman guys, it is best to all die.
If it wasn't for the security department not recruiting people, she would have signed up a long time ago, just to deal with human traffickers. Her former companions were captured by human traffickers.
"Let's go, hurry up and queue up, and prepare to pay your salary."
A shout came from the side, and Gaba, who was in deep thought, was relieved, and hurriedly walked towards the workshop.
Today is the end of the month, the day when the salary is paid, and it is also the happiest day for everyone. She is thinking about taking her sister to see the new house later, and then go to the first floor of Zuixiao Building for a good meal.
Gaba soon came to the weaving workshop, and there was already a long line in front of her. She quickly lined up. She came quite late today, and there were nearly a hundred people in front of the line.
As time slowly passed, it was soon Gaba's turn to receive the salary. She looked at the person in front of her in surprise. This time, it was the Buff clerk who came to pay the salary for the weaving workshop.
Buff was writing in his notebook, without raising his head, he asked, "Number, name."
"Number seventeen, Gaba." Gaba said hastily.
"NO.17..." Buff flipped through the notepad, and soon found the number seventeen Gaba, muttering in surprise, "The monthly salary is eighty copper coins, and there is no leave record. No.2, 120 copper coins will be rewarded, plus bolts of extra woven linen, one copper coin for each horse, copper coins in total."
"Yes." Gaba quickly replied, she had calculated her own value this morning, but it was beyond her expectation to be ranked in the top two of the weaving workshop.
"You're fine." Buff looked up at Gaba and exclaimed, "Keep working hard!"
"Thank you, I will." Gaba nodded earnestly, her brown eyes were full of joy, and her No. 2 salary was ten copper coins more than her No. 3 salary last month.
"Here, here is your salary." Buff opened the drawer and took out a red paper bag from it. The salary inside was prepared in advance and was handed over to him by the City Lord's Mansion. I heard that Miss Nicole was in charge.
"Okay." Gaba took the paper bag, gently tore open the mouth of the paper bag, poured out the copper coins and counted them, which was required by the workshop, and everything was counted face to face.
"Is the number correct?" Buff's pen stopped on number seventeen.
"Yes, it's 120." Gaba nodded affirmatively, and quickly moved away to the next person in line.
"Okay." Buff ticked number seventeen and shouted to the person in front of him, "Number, name."
"number 29..."
Gaba bowed to Buff, hid the copper coins close to her body, and walked briskly to the outside of the weaving workshop. She was going to pick up her sister and find a new house, and just returned the old house.
"Come on, something happened over there in the square."
"Ah? What's the matter? Is the city lord announcing something?"
"No, I heard it's about human traffickers."
"..."
After Gaba heard it, she also quickened her pace and walked towards the square, which is the square in front of the castle, which is the way to go anyway.
When she came to the square, she found thousands of people gathered here. She estimated that most of the people in Sheba City had come. With her height of two meters, she could easily see the place ahead.
"Huh? The gallows? Could it be?" Gaba's face was slightly condensed, and she guessed that the traffickers should be tried.
She frowned and thought about it, and decided not to go home for the time being, to watch the fate of those traffickers here, and her sister didn't like to watch such scenes either.
When the time came to 08:30, the sun was high above, and 7000 people had gathered around the square, most of them came except for some who couldn't leave.
"Here we come, the city lord is here." The crowd made a noise, and there was a commotion. Many people squeezed and looked forward, wanting to see the city lord.
"Uh..." Gaba was helpless, she looked down at the girls beside her, and squeezed forward excitedly, her frantic look made her wryly smile.
She looked up and saw in the direction of the castle, a group of knights ran out and separated the crowd to form a road, followed by the city lord, the captain of the police patrol, Miss Mina and so on.
HAD nodded to the surrounding civilians with a faint smile, and walked towards the prepared high platform. Today, those human traffickers will be interrogated. Last night, the interrogation was carried out overnight. After getting the information you want, let the principal culprit die, otherwise it will be a waste food.As for other personnel, let's go to mines. It happens that coal mines and iron mines are very short of people.
"Bring everyone up here." HAD turned his head and said to Mina, scanning the people in front of him. Today's trial is not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to remove the potential problems of the free people.
"Yes." Mina replied respectfully, beckoning in one direction, and immediately a patrolman escorted a dozen people to the gallows.
"Kneel down." Ax personally escorted Guanshi Chi, made him kneel on the gallows, and then tore off his hood, revealing a frightened face.
Steward Chi's eyes were bloodshot. This was the result of being interrogated by War Wolf last night. His nails on both hands had already been peeled off five or six times, so he couldn't resist telling the information about the Black Iris organization.
I don't know why, but now he has a little relief that he doesn't have to go back to that dark and scary place.
"Huh? Isn't that Mr. Chi? How could he go to the gallows?" A voice of astonishment sounded from the crowd.
"Yeah, did he do something wrong?"
"How big a crime is this? It's going to be sent to the gallows. Fortunately, I don't know him well."
Businessmen who knew Guanshi Chi started talking about it.
In the crowd, Tori held a bun in his mouth and stared blankly at Steward Chi on the gallows. He watched a shadow puppet show with him yesterday, so he will go to the gallows today?
What's wrong with this?
Chapter 0470 Alien version of the tattoo shop.
Standing on the high platform, HAD glanced at the people below, listened to the discussions below, and lifted the corners of his mouth slightly.Today he is going to make an example to the monkeys. Among the people below, there are quite a few people with crooked minds.
"Everyone, I am HAD, the owner of Sheba City. Some of you know me, and some of you don't, but it doesn't matter. Everyone knows me today." HAD started with a brisk voice.
"Hahaha..." Everyone at the scene laughed in good faith.
"The current prosperity of Sheba City is inseparable from everyone's efforts." HAD's voice began to deepen.
"No, it's thanks to the city lord that we have a good life." An old man in the crowd shouted, waving his hands.
"Yeah, it's all thanks to the kindness of the city lord that we are all fed."
"Long live the city lord! Long live! Long live!"
The lowly civilians raised their hands and shouted, and some children also shouted with immature voices, and their eyes were filled with admiration.
The corners of HAD's mouth slightly raised, and he pressed his palms down. The scene immediately became quiet, and all of them stared at the solemn City Lord.
"Everyone, it will only get better and better in the future, so that everyone will no longer go hungry, sleep on the street, or fail to understand letters from home." HAD shouted loudly.
"Long live the city lord, long live, long live."
The commoners below became even more fanatical, blushing and roaring, no noble would promise such things to the commoners, although the promise was simple, but the commoners liked to hear it.
"The good days will not be far away, but some people can't understand that we have a good life."
HAD waved his sleeves, pointed at Guanshi Chi and others who were kneeling, and shouted in a heavy voice, "These human traffickers are the ones who don't let us have a good life."
"Human trafficker?" Tori's eyes widened at the bottom, looking at the red steward on the gallows in disbelief.
"Isn't it? Is Mr. Chi a human trafficker?"
"It's too hard to believe. Such a kind person is actually a human trafficker?"
HAD didn't care about the discussion below, and then shouted, "These traffickers wanted to break into the house last night and rob people, and they only picked beautiful little girls to start."
"If your children are snatched away and branded as slaves, then they will be slaves, a commodity being bought and sold. They will not be able to see you, nor will they be able to enjoy their current life."
"What is a slave? A slave is a commoner, a commoner like you, who is then branded with a red-hot iron on his arm by a human trafficker, and thus becomes a slave."
HAD was walking on the high platform, scanning the people below with his sharp eyes, and saw many people were sad and angry, sad and frightened, and then shouted, "Your former friends, relatives or lovers were captured by traffickers, maybe you will be lucky next time." When you meet each other, they are a slave, a slave being bought and sold. They cannot recognize you, dare not recognize each other, and even feel inferior. But not long ago, they were free civilians just like you. "
"Because of the greed of the traffickers themselves, many people's lives have been changed. Maybe you will be the next slaves." HAD said coldly, flicking his sleeves.
"This..." Many civilians took a step back. They were frightened by HAD's words. They are only living a good life now, and they don't want to be caught as slaves.
"Are you scared?" HAD said in a low voice, full of heaviness, "There are many slaves in Sheba City, and there are also free people who have recovered from slave status as civilians."
As the voice fell, thousands of people below couldn't help but bow their heads, with tears in their eyes. They were the slaves that the city lord called, slaves caught by human traffickers and sold for money.
"Raise your head." HAD's sharp voice pierced people's hearts. He glanced at the people below and shouted, "There are slaves among you. As long as you work hard enough, you can change your destiny. in your own hands."
The slaves below slowly raised their heads. They looked at HAD with gratitude and gratitude. It was the city lord who gave them a new life.
"As long as you work hard enough, I will give you freedom and let you become free citizens, as free as civilians." HAD shouted encouragingly.
"My lord, I will work hard, I will work hard, and I want to be a free citizen." A pig Beastkin below shouted.
"Yes, we will work hard."
"We will not embarrass the Lord City Lord."
The slaves below shouted excitedly, they got a promise from the city lord, let them see hope, a hope after getting rid of slavery.
Listening to this sentence, HAD waved his sleeves and shouted, "Free people, I will give you a new life, and I will help you remove the brand of slavery on your arms, so that you can truly be free."
"..." Quiet, silent, followed by a roar of excitement.
"My lord, is what you said true? Can you really help us get rid of the slave brand?" Many slaves shouted loudly, with longing in their eyes.
"Of course, as long as you are already free citizens, you can take your ID card and go to the tattoo shop next to the Security Department to change your brand as a slave." HAD nodded affirmatively.
"Yeah! That's great... woo woo woo... that's great..." Many people who were already free citizens wept with joy. This news was really a new life for them.
"Now, we will start the trial of the heinous human traffickers." HAD sternly looked at the crowd with sharp black eyes, and said coldly, "I sentence them to death, hang them, and execute them immediately."
"Yes." The patrolmen shouted respectfully, and they put hemp ropes around the necks of these traffickers.
"Hang them, hang them." Diren civilians shouted angrily, and their emotions were completely aroused by HAD.
Steward Chi let the noose around his neck, staring blankly at the shouting civilians below, recalling his life.
He remembers that he came from a small mountain village, and he can't remember the appearance of his parents. He only knows that when he was 14 years old, there was no food at home. He was sold to a human trafficker by his parents, and he escaped halfway.
What impresses him the most is that he remembers the day when he left the village, Xiaohua from next door cried and told him to remember to go back, but after so many years, he could no longer go back. man.
If he had another chance, he would go back and look at Xiaohua's smiling face again.
He didn't know if it was a hallucination, he seemed to see a 12-year-old Xiao Hua in the crowd, she was smiling at him...
Chapter 0471 Wings of Liberty.
More than a dozen people were hanged on the gallows, and there was silence below. No one would sympathize with the traffickers, and the slaves hated them even more. They wished that all the traffickers were dead.
Looking at the crowd below, HAD saw some children covering their eyes, their black eyes flickering, and turned to Mina, "Send someone to bury these traffickers outside the city, find someone to set up a monument, and put their traffickers' Write down your occupation."
He wants to warn those human traffickers that Sheba City is not the place for human traffickers to come, and he has no control over other cities for the time being. Maybe this era is accustomed to slaves, but he does not allow his subjects to become slaves.
"Yes." Mina respectfully said, and immediately ordered someone to move the corpse.
"Let's go, let's go to the tattoo shop." HAD waved his sleeves and turned around, walked down the high platform, and walked towards the commercial avenue under the guard of the wolf team.
The crowd immediately parted ways, looked at HAD with awe, gratitude and admiration in their eyes, and when HAD walked past them, they all lowered their heads.
The tattoo shop is open next to the Security Department. The plaque is a pair of wings, which symbolizes freedom and symbolizes slaves walking towards freedom.
"Ta Tata..."
HAD took Mina, Teess and Fleur to the outside of the tattoo shop under the guard of the war wolf, followed by many people, most of them were Beastkin, and they were free people.
He wanted to tattoo the Deess, that is, tattoos, and by the way, he taught the office staff to tattoo, some precautions must be followed, otherwise they would all be infected.
"Just let a few people in, and others will stop you." HAD turned to Xin Ke and said.
"Yes." Sink immediately asked several team members to guard the gate, and let some civilians into the tattoo shop.
Entering the gate of the tattoo shop, I saw a counter with a girl sitting inside. When she saw HAD, she immediately got up and saluted and shouted, "My lord."
"Where's Dudley?" HAD glanced around, but didn't see anyone else.
Dudley was the one who operated on HAD before. He lay on the bed for several months. After the wound healed, he did not return to the army. He worked hard to learn how to read, and now HAD is transferred to a tattoo shop as the manager.
"The store manager is practicing on the second floor." The girl at the front desk said quickly.
"Okay, let's go up." HAD walked to the second floor. This shop was thought of to open on the spur of the moment. If it wasn't for Deess, he would never have expected to open a tattoo shop so early.
Even the people were recruited on a temporary basis, and none of them knew how to get tattoos. Dudley also got the instructions from him in advance, so he should be practicing alone now.
"Ta Tata..."
When HAD came to the lobby on the second floor, he saw Dudley sitting on a chair with a tattoo needle piercing his arm. When he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously looked over and quickly got up to salute.
"My lord." Dudley gave a military salute.
"Yeah." HAD nodded, and didn't correct Dudley's way of saluting. He looked at Dudley's arm, which had messy patterns of crooked melons and dates.
"Are you practicing with your own arm?" HAD's mouth twitched, do you want to be so straightforward?Didn't he say to practice drawing patterns with pigskin first?
"This..." Dudley saw his arm, and said awkwardly, "My hands are clumsy, and the pigskin is all wasted."
"You haven't slept all night?" HAD raised his eyebrows, looking helplessly at the bloodshot eyes in Dudley's eyes.
"I didn't pay attention to the time. It will be dawn when the pigskin is used up." Dudley scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Today I'll teach you how to draw patterns and get tattoos." HAD glanced at the big fat wings on Dudley's arm, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Yes." Dudley said seriously, and hurriedly stepped aside.
HAD stepped forward and sat on the chair, beckoning Deess to sit beside him, glanced at the sneaky civilians, and said loudly, "Come and see."
"Ah? Yes!" Several civilians responded respectfully, approaching with joy in their eyes.
Mina stood beside her, her saber tightly clenched under her sleeve, staring at these civilians, not daring to let her guard down for a moment.
"First of all, you have to draw a picture and draw the pattern to be tattooed." HAD pinched Deess's little hand, and pushed up the sleeve, looking at Bai Fuquan's arm, it felt as soft as boneless.
"Yes." Dudley quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.
HAD took out a ballpoint pen from the wooden box on the table, and drew the slave brand on Deess's arm, and drew a pair of wings. Fortunately, he has a little bit of drawing skills. Dudley's Fat Wings look better.
"..." Deess's cheeks were flushed, and her purple eyes quietly looked at the serious HAD, and she couldn't help but be fascinated for a while, saying that a serious man is the most handsome.
"The drawing is finished." HAD put down the pen, looked at the wings that covered the slave's brand, and was very satisfied. He raised his head and asked Deess, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It's pretty." Teess tilted her head, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, no matter how she looked at it, she thought the pattern was pretty.
"That's good." HAD smiled lightly, and took out the tattoo needles from the wooden box. He felt Deess' hands trembling, and he couldn't help but comfort him, "It's just a little pain, just bear with it." gone."
"Hmm." Teess pursed her lips.
"The needle must be sterilized before tattooing. It must be boiled in hot water and then cleaned with disinfectant alcohol."
While disinfecting the needle, HAD explained with a serious face, "Human skin can be divided into the superficial epidermis and the lower dermis. The epidermis can be renewed and shed quickly, while the dermis will not. The pigment used in tattoos is to pierce the epidermis with a needle, and then enter the dermis, so that it can stay permanently."
"This..." Dudley was stunned holding the pen, staring blankly at the back of his hand. He didn't understand what the Lord City Lord meant. Does it seem like a person's skin has two layers?
"Be patient." HAD said softly, taking the tattoo needle and piercing it on the back of Deess's hand, as gently as possible.
The people at the scene quieted down, breathing much more lightly, quietly watching HAD's movements, and after seeing the pattern on Deess's arm became more and more clear, those civilians began to breathe heavily.
Chapter 0472 the best looking pattern.
Do tattoos hurt?It must be painful, how can it not hurt when you prick the flesh with a needle, this is one of the prices you have to pay for freedom.
"Okay." HAD smiled lightly, and after spending an hour, he finally got Tisi's tattoo done, and tattooed a pair of wings on the back of his hand.
He looked at the pattern on the back of Teess's hand, there were blood beads coming out, and the skin was still red and swollen, he quickly wiped it with disinfectant alcohol, how can I say his craftsmanship, if it weren't for this special tattoo needle, his craftsmanship must be very poor, after all He was on the other side of the earth last night, and he also tried it with pork, and the texture of the meat must be different.
"It's so beautiful." Deess purple eyes stared at the back of the hand, a strange light shone in the eyes, and the slave brand was gone.
"Master HAD, I want to do it too." Fleur squeezed towards HAD, handed her small hand in front of him, her green eyes were fixed on the wings on Deess's arm.
She likes this wing pattern very much, and she likes it for no reason, as if it represents the bird clan Beastkin.
"Okay, it's up to you." HAD raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took the girl's limp little hand, rolled up the sleeve, looked at the ugly mark on her arm, and reached out to caress it.
Fleur's small hands trembled slightly, and her green eyes flickered. Her heart was not at peace, which showed that she was not so indifferent to the brand of slave on the surface.
"The same is Wings of Liberty?" HAD took the tattoo needle and boiled it in hot water, then washed it with disinfectant alcohol, and asked, "Or do you want another pattern?"
For the choice of tattoos, HAD made more than a dozen kinds, all of which are simple and easy to draw, but Wings of Liberty is ranked first.
Like the army, there are also free people, and he also got a special tattoo for the army, which is the logo of the army, the dragon totem on the military flag.
The army does not recruit civilians with tattoos, but he does not have this restriction, or does not have restrictions for the time being, otherwise the free people will think that he discriminates against them in the future.
But special forces and departments will not recruit civilians with tattoos, because tattoos will make the enemy remember the logo, so there is too much chance of revealing their identities when they go out on secret missions.
"I want these wings." Fleur said seriously with her green eyes wide open.
"Okay, let's get this tattooed." HAD laughed softly, took the tattoo needle and started to do it, and said slowly, "Hold on to the pain, it will be fine soon."
"Hmm." Fleur tilted her head, quietly looking at the needles coming in and out on her arm, the expression on her face didn't change a bit, as if she didn't feel any pain.
"Soon." HAD said softly, took an alcohol cloth, wiped off the blood on his arm, and then pricked. With the experience of Deess, the second time was much faster.
Four or 10 minutes later, HAD finished his second tattoo in his life. He looked at the flawed Wings of Liberty tattoo on Fleur's arm and felt very satisfied.
"How is it? Does it look good?" HAD wiped the blood beads. Although the wings are a little fat, they are cute, aren't they?
"It's pretty." Fleur glanced at the horned girl's tattoo, and then at her own tattoo. Her wing is a little fatter, so it must fly farther and higher.
"Phew..." HAD breathed a sigh of relief. He really is not a professional tattoo artist. He almost got the wrong tattoo just now, mainly because the skin was squeezed by him. After the tattoo was loosened, he found that he was a little fatter. Fortunately, the girl liked it very much.
"See clearly?" HAD turned to Dudley and asked.
"See clearly, this subordinate knows what to do." Dudley said seriously.
"Very good, then I'll take a look at your tattoo." HAD raised his lips.
"Yes." Dudley said respectfully.
HAD turned his head and shouted to the free men standing beside him, "Who of you will try tattooing? The first one is free."
"I, Lord City Master, let me come." A pig clan Beastkin jumped up and was about to rush forward.
"Don't move!" Mina moved lightly, and put the saber in her hand on the neck of the pig Beastkin, and said coldly, "No collision, search."
"Ah... yes." The female pig clan Beastkin didn't dare to move, cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
Sink, who was standing next to him, immediately went forward to search. In addition to the regular body search, even his hair was turned over and over again, and his shoes were also asked to be taken off. After the inspection, the pig Beastkin went forward.
"Sit here." Dudley arranged the pig Beastkin on another chair, and began to prepare according to HAD's procedure.
"Which pattern do you want?" Dudley asked, taking out a piece of paper. There were more than a dozen patterns on the paper, such as bear's head, pig's head and so on.
"If I want this pair of wings, can you draw a bigger one for me?" the pig Beastkin said in a low voice.
"Okay." Dudley nodded and began to draw patterns.
"..." Looking at Dudley's painting, HAD couldn't help shaking his eyes. Such fat wings looked like chicken wings no matter what.
"Be patient." Dudley reassured softly.
"It's okay, just pierce it, I have thick skin." The pig Beastkin said loudly.
Dudley nodded, bowed his head and tied it seriously, the speed was faster than HAD's, and it was rougher, just like a big chicken wing.
Half an hour later, the tattoo was completed. The piggish Beastkin looked at the wings on the back of his arm with red eyes, and the original slave brand was gone.
"Thank you, thank you." The pig Beastkin saluted HAD and Dudley.
"Are you satisfied?" HAD asked lightly. He felt that he needed to train Dudley's drawing skills first.
"Very satisfied, this is the most beautiful pattern I have ever seen in my life." The pig Beastkin looked at HAD frantically, and asked for instructions, "My lord, can I go out? I want to go out and tell everyone the good news ."
There were many people standing outside the tattoo shop, they were all waiting for the news, the news that they would really get rid of their slavery.
"Go." HAD smiled and waved his hands.
"Thank you, Lord City Master." The pig clan Beastkin said respectfully.
He glanced at Mina in awe, then turned around and walked slowly to the outside of the aisle, then he raised his feet and ran wildly, holding his right arm high, the wing pattern of Wings of Liberty was red, and rushed to the outside of the tattoo shop.
"Yeah, everyone, look, these are my wings. I am a free citizen of the city lord, not a slave! No-is-slave-slave!!!" The pig Beastkin roared hoarsely, looking up at the sky, holding Arms folded, tears welled up and rolled down his eyes.
"Great, great..."
"Free people, true freedom!!!"
In an instant, shouting broke out in the crowd, some were laughing, some were yelling, and there were all kinds of things.
HAD listened to the commotion outside, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his black eyes flickered, looking at the sky outside the window on the second floor. This is a new beginning, the beginning of a good day.
Chapter 0473 Crying Catherine.
Wangdu, it is snowing heavily today.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Darlene walked on the snow, looked at her little feet half-sinked in the snow, she couldn't help shaking her head, the snow in Wangdu in winter is really not that bad compared to Sheba City, no one even cleared the snow on the avenue.
"Huh..." Darlene exhaled softly, looked at the snowflakes still falling in the sky, and sighed, "Princess Lucy has been away from the capital for more than ten days, and I don't know where she is now."
She is going to find Catherine today and ask her if she wants to go to Sheba City with her. She has already taken care of everything and decided to leave for Sheba City tomorrow, just in time for spring to arrive there.
"Tap puff..."
Darlene pulled out her left foot and walked forward with great effort, shaking her long red hair from time to time to shake off the snowflakes on her head. She missed the oil-paper umbrella in Sheba City a little bit, and she forgot to bring an oil-paper umbrella. king capital.
"Miss Darlene, there are people following behind." The guarding knight whispered.
"..." Darlene's stepping movement paused, and then she took another step, her blue eyes flickering, and she said lightly, "Don't worry about them, let them follow."
Darlene didn't need to guess who was following her, and it wasn't because those forces who wanted to go to Sheba City were watching her closely, for fear that she would deceive them.
She estimated that when she set off for Sheba City tomorrow, there should be many ships following her, but she didn't know how many people there would be.
"How many ships are there in the port now?" Darlene asked lightly.
"There are more than 500 ships." The guard knight said respectfully.
"It seems that they also know that I am leaving." Darlene sneered, she has been preparing supplies these days, as long as she pays attention to her actions, she will know that she is leaving the capital.
"Tap puff..."
Darlene walked for more than half an hour, and arrived at Catherine's house. The door of the Duke's mansion was closed, and the knight hurried forward to knock on the door.
"Boom bang bang!!!"
"Gag!!"
After a while, the gate opened, and the knight guarding the gate frowned and looked forward. After seeing Darlene, his brows relaxed. The girl in front of him was the one the young master was pursuing.
"Miss Darlene, are you here to see Miss Catherine?" The gatekeeper knight asked politely. If someone else knocked on the door, even if it was an earl, he wouldn't have to be so polite.
"Yes, please inform me." Darlene said politely.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The gatekeeper knight said politely, and closed the door again.
"Huh..." Darlene stood outside the gate, looking at the large and tall Duke's Mansion in front of her, and couldn't help sighing, "This is nothing more than a cage."
Since Catherine was grounded, she also came to see Catherine several times, most of them were refused to meet, and she only saw Catherine twice.
One time was ten days ago, when she met Catherine, the other party hugged her and cried, because the carrier pigeon given by His Excellency HAD seemed to have been killed by Catherine's elder brother.
The second time they met was five days ago, when she secretly brought her carrier pigeon to Catherine, only then did she coax the other party into a happy smile, and she could clearly feel the other party's unhappiness.
"Gag!"
The sound of the door opening awakened Darlene who was in deep thought. She turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and saw the gatekeeper knight who was going to report.
"Miss Darlene, please come with me, the Duke has allowed you to see Miss Catherine." The gatekeeper knight shouted with a smile.
"Thank you." Darlene nodded, took the gift from the knight, and followed behind the gatekeeper knight.
"You're welcome, you will be very happy to see Miss Catherine." The gatekeeper knight whispered.
"..." Darlene nodded lightly, followed silently, her green eyes scanned the environment of the Duke's mansion, and found that it was very deserted, except for a few teams of knights patrolling, there was no one there.
Turning left and right, it took more than five minutes for Darlene to arrive at Catherine's residence. The gatekeeper knight saluted and left silently.
Darlene adjusted her mood, with a slight smile on her lips, she carried the gift and walked towards Catherine's room, knocked on the door, and heard a shout from inside before she could speak.
"Go, I don't want to see anyone, go, go." Catherine's voice was hoarse.
"..." Darlene frowned. She guessed that the Duke was forcing Catherine to do something she didn't like again, so she knocked on the door again and called softly, "Catherine, it's me, Darlene."
"Ta Tata..."
There were hurried footsteps, and then the room was pulled away. Catherine looked at Darlene with red eyes, her hair was disheveled instead of her usual playfulness.
"Catherine, what's wrong with you?" Darlene asked in shock, and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.
"Woooooo..." Catherine hugged Darlene, cried with sobs, and said indistinctly, "The carrier pigeon, again, gone again."
"Huh???" Darlene stared at her blue eyes, and asked in surprise, "He killed him again?"
"Hmm!" Catherine made a nasal sound with a choked voice.
"Come on, let's go in." Darlene helped Catherine into the room and closed the door before asking, "Why? Does he know it's a carrier pigeon?"
"I know." Catherine said convulsively, her tearful eyes were very distressing.
"Okay, stop crying, and tell me what's going on." Darlene wiped away Catherine's tears, and asked softly, "How did he know it was the bird that passed the letter?"
"He bribed one of my maids, and then he knew everything." Catherine was tearful. She was very depressed these days, and when she saw Darlene coming, her grievances broke out.
"This..." Darlene frowned, and finally knew why Catherine was so sad. The killing of the carrier pigeon was one of the reasons. The most important thing was the maid. The youngest maid beside Catherine also followed her for two or three years Now, if you betray her now, you will definitely be very sad.
"Dalina, the pigeons are gone, will His Excellency HAD blame me?" Catherine asked with red eyes.
"Uh..." Darlene rolled her eyes. She thought it was the maid who hurt Catherine, but she didn't expect that she cared about His Excellency HAD's opinion.
"It must be my fault, right?" Catherine was about to shed tears when she saw Darlene's appearance. This carrier pigeon is the only way she can contact Sheba City now, and now it is completely gone, which makes her a little desperate up.
Chapter 0474 please help HAD.
The carrier pigeon was killed, and Darlene understood Catherine's feelings. She knew that Catherine had a good impression of His Excellency HAD, and she was very concerned about whether the death of the carrier pigeon would make His Excellency HAD have any opinion on her.
"No, you didn't do it on purpose." Darlene comforted quickly.
"Really not? I heard that this pigeon is difficult to train." Catherine looked at Darlene with tears in her eyes.
"Really." Darlene nodded affirmatively, and said indignantly, "You didn't kill the carrier pigeon, but that bastard. Your Excellency HAD will forgive you."
"That, that's good, that's good." Catherine was obviously relieved, and patted her chest.
"Okay, don't cry." Darlene cupped Catherine's face in her hands, wiping the tears from her cheeks with her thumbs.
Now Catherine feels fragile and helpless to Darlene. She is exactly what an ordinary girl should look like. She doesn't have the aura of the Duke's daughter before. Maybe she only shows her vulnerable side in front of her.
"Guru..."
A hungry growl sounded, making Catherine's cheeks flush.
"Catherine, you didn't eat well?" Darlene raised her eyebrows, and finally knew why the Duke let her in. It must be Catherine who went on a hunger strike to protest.
"Well, those meals are unpalatable, and I don't have an appetite." Catherine pouted and whispered. She just wanted to use a hunger strike to protest. As a result, her brother was punished by his father to close the door for seven days, which was four days more than last time. .
More importantly, she was used to the delicious food in Sheba City, how could she bear the salty boiled meat when she returned to the capital.
"Have you finished eating the canned fish?" Darlene immediately knew why.
"Well, I secretly finished eating two days ago." Catherine said awkwardly, really on a hunger strike?Of course she is not that stupid, of course she must be prepared not to starve to death before going on a hunger strike.
"I knew it would be like this." Darlene rolled her eyes, pointed to the wooden box on the table, and said softly, "I brought you some meat, which was boiled with the juice and ingredients from the canned fish."
"Is it delicious?" Catherine raised her nose and hurried to the wooden box. After opening it carefully, she immediately smelled the strong fragrance.
"It's not as good as fish, but it's also very delicious." Darlene stepped forward to help take out the plate from the wooden box.
"Let me try." Catherine picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it a little bit, her golden eyes sparkled, and then picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Isn't it delicious? This trick was invented by those nobles who bought canned fish." Darlene smiled lightly.
The canned fish she brought to Sheba City was still too little, and the amount distributed to the nobles was also very small. In order to eat more delicious food, they invented the canned fish as a seasoning to cook meat.
The meat cooked in this way has a much worse taste than canned fish alone, but it is much tastier than ordinary boiled meat in salt water.
"Huh? It's really delicious. Why didn't I think of this method?" Catherine's mouth was full, and her expression was a little annoyed. She used all the leftover canned fish soup to mix with polished rice.
"Eat more if it tastes good." Darlene helped pour a glass of water.
"Hmm..." Catherine was chewing heavily, and suddenly stopped moving after chewing, staring blankly at the meat on the plate.
"Catherine, what's the matter?" Darlene asked in amazement.
"I'd better eat less and save some for the next meal." Catherine put down her chopsticks and forced a smile, "Dalena, are you leaving?"
She is not stupid, but she is usually playful. Darlene came here today, and she could guess that the other party was leaving the capital and was going to the magical Sheba City.
"Uh..." Darlene was stunned, then nodded, and said, "Well, we're leaving tomorrow, do you want to go together?"
"..." Catherine was silent for a moment, her golden eyes flickered, she shook her head and said bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't go, my father has grounded me."
"Who does the Duke decide to marry you to?" Darlene asked with a serious face.
"I don't know yet." Catherine shook her head and sighed, "Recently the eldest prince and the second prince have come to contact father, and they both want his support."
"That means the Duke hasn't decided who to marry you to?" Darlene was visibly relieved.
"Yes, but it's not far away. At most, next summer, you will know who you are going to marry." Catherine's face was calm, and her golden eyes quietly looked at the meat on the plate, but the veins on the back of the hand holding the chopsticks were bulging. .
"Catherine, you..." Darlene frowned, she didn't know what to say.
"Me? I don't know what to do anymore." Catherine put down her chopsticks, with a helpless tone, "Father will not change his mind, I can't be willful anymore."
"Is there really no other way?" Darlene asked shyly.
"No more." Catherine shook her head and said bitterly, "Father said that if someone is more dazzling than the prince, he can let me marry him, Darlene, do you think it is possible? Is there anyone who is more dazzling than a future prince?" Where is the king's prince?"
"This..." Darlene was at a loss for words. This request was definitely impossible, unless someone rose up to rebel, or some other prince came to propose marriage, or the kind of prince who wanted to be a king.
"Why don't you sneak away?" Darlene lowered her voice and glanced towards the door with her green eyes.
"Impossible." Catherine frowned and sighed, "I've tried it, and I was intercepted by the knights before I even went out of the Duke's mansion."
"This..." Darlene opened her mouth, staring blankly at Catherine, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
"I understand. My fate has been decided a long time ago, and no one can save me." Catherine said indifferently with her golden eyes.
She knew that this day would come. She wanted to struggle and fight before, especially during the time in Sheba City, which made her think of many things, such as elopement.
But reality is reality, without the willful capital given by her father, she is just a girl who knows a little music, and nothing else.
"If, I said if..." Darlene's blue eyes flickered, and she whispered, "If there is a chance for you to leave the Duke's Mansion, will you leave?"
"Of course, I will." Catherine said firmly, her golden eyes looked forward to Darlene, waiting for her next words.
"I will ask His Excellency HAD for help." Darlene said with a serious face, she decided to give up the share of the proceeds from this transaction, and use it to ask His Excellency HAD for help.
"But... But, Your Excellency HAD, you may not agree." Catherine clasped her hands tightly, her expression was very complicated, she was worried that His Excellency HAD would not agree, but also hoped that His Excellency HAD would agree, and she agreed but was afraid that the other party would be in danger...
"Give it a try, maybe you will agree." Darlene said calmly, she couldn't watch her good friend's happiness be ruined like this.
Chapter 0475 killer strikes.
"Is this Sheba City? It's really dilapidated."
Outside Sheba City, a 1.6-meter girl was wrapped in black linen, including her hair and ears.
Her name is Mira, and she is a killer, ranked among the top 130 killers. Her task today is to kidnap the Lord of Sheba City. As long as she is tied up and brought to the designated place two days later, she can get gold coins. That's great! If she hadn't happened to be looking for someone in the west, she wouldn't have been able to accept the mission she earned.
It's the first time for a killer to do the work of a kidnapper. What experience?Certainly not, but seeing such an earthen city wall, the target nobleman must not be too powerful.
"This city wall is really bad." Mira shook her head, she was a little nervous at first, but she immediately became less nervous.
Mira walked towards the gate of Sheba City. After seeing a group of knights guarding the gate, especially the excellent armor on the knights, her green pupils shrank slightly and her body collapsed.
She stepped into the city, but no one stopped her in the end, which made her heave a sigh of relief, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't even check her. It seemed that these knights looked like gatekeepers.
"Tch, I thought they would be intercepted and inspected, but I didn't expect to come in so easily." Mira sneered, she walked through the city gate to test the reaction ability of the knights in Sheba City.
She was ready to do it, killing a few knights to cause riots, and then sneaked in to observe, looking for a chance to win the mission target.But the plan can't keep up with the changes, well, there is no change at all, should she go forward to provoke?She can't do something so stupid.
"Huh... Find a place to rest for a while, and let's talk about it after a full meal." Mira patted her stomach, looked up at the sky, and it was afternoon.
Mira was stunned after entering the city, looking at the scene in front of her, the wide avenue, the snow-free ground, and the tidy houses.
"Did I come to the wrong place?" Mira murmured to herself, she turned around and walked outside Sheba City.
Under the astonished eyes of the soldiers, she came to the soldiers and asked, "Is this Sheba City?"
"Yes, this is Sheba City." The soldier guarding the city gate straightened his back.
"But..." Mira raised her finger in amazement and pointed to the city wall, and then pointed to the direction inside the city.
"The City Lord has issued a notice that Sheba City will rebuild a city wall next year." The soldier replied skillfully.
These soldiers guarding the city gates are used to being asked this question. Those new businessmen often ask this question. After all, Sheba City is so prosperous, but the city wall is very dilapidated.
"Rebuild a city wall?" Mira blinked her eyes, her face became a little more serious.
"Miss, are you here for tourism? Or for food?" the soldier asked curiously.
"Ah?" Mira was stunned, tilting her head and asking in confusion, "Why do you ask like this?"
"Because our Sheba City is very famous in this area, people often come here to watch football games and eat delicious food." The soldier smiled lightly.
"That's it." Mira nodded, understanding why she didn't interrogate her anymore. There were simply too many people like her, and the knights were already used to it.
As for what the game is, she didn't ask, and she didn't want to find out. As for the food, she could give it a try.
Mira turned around and walked towards the city gate, frowning in thought, completely oblivious to the soldiers behind her staring at her steps.
