Chapter 183 Employment
After the story was told, everyone present-except Owen-all looked at Winnie in unison.
Isn’t she the bird-man image in the story?
Because he didn't take the story to heart, Owen didn't immediately connect Winnie with the Birdman at first. It wasn't until he heard her description of the Storm Islands that he suddenly remembered.
"Wow!" Winnie's eyes sparkled with joy, "So there are rumors about Golundi here too!"
"Oh? Do you have them over there too?" Owen asked.
"Yes, I have!"
Winnie said excitedly: "Golundi is a legendary figure..."
According to Winnie, when Golundy lived on the Storm Islands, he told the Winged Tribe about the outside world every day, which greatly broadened their horizons.
All the interesting humanistic stories told have been passed down, and they are still the favorite stories of the children of the Winged Tribe.
"So that's the case. This further confirms that Golundi's story really happened."
Owen touched his chin and then said: "It seems that the Storm Islands are the Dream Islands in the story. Winnie, I'm afraid we can't send you home."
The Sea of Death is still a nightmare for navigators, and I am afraid no one is willing to search for the legendary Dream Islands.
"Or, do you have a way to go back?"
"Why are you sending me home?!"
Hearing this, Winnie's eyes widened in surprise, she moved towards Teresa, and reached out to grab her sleeves.
"I finally flew out of the Storm Islands, so I don't want to go back!"
I thought that after Winnie had been imprisoned, whipped, and a series of other things, she was now eager to return to a safe home, but it turned out she didn't.
"Well……"
Owen seemed to understand why Winnie appeared here, but he still asked: "Why don't you want to go back?"
As expected, Winnie had been hearing rumors about Golundi since she was a child, and she had always yearned for the outside world and wanted to leave the Storm Islands to see the outside world.
Unfortunately, the Winged Tribe has a strict rule passed down from its ancestors, and no one in the tribe is allowed to leave the Storm Islands.
Even without this regulation, the extreme weather around the island group would still be a terrible challenge for the Winged Tribe, and it would be almost impossible to succeed.
Only the leader of the Winged Clan knew how to leave the island, and Winnie found out after a lot of effort.
"I understand your feelings of not wanting to go back, but unfortunately, this world is no longer the world of Golundi's time. The demi-human race has suffered from crazy suppression by humans and can only survive in a corner."
During Golundi's time, although there was not much communication between humans and demihuman races, they were still relatively peaceful, and no large-scale wars occurred.
"Winnie, as an extremely rare winged tribe, your appearance still conforms to human aesthetics, so you are bound to be captured by bad guys, and eventually sold to rich people and become a plaything."
"Hey...but didn't you save me?"
Winnie shrank up in fear, raised her head and looked at Teresa pitifully.
"Are you just like those bad guys and want to lock me up and whip me?"
Seeing this, Teresa smiled, reached out and touched Winnie's hair, and said gently: "Don't worry, we are not bad people and will not do that kind of thing."
"Doesn't this mean that there are good people among humans?"
Winnie pouted and muttered: "Then I can stay away from bad people and only deal with good people, right?"
"There are only a few good people like us. Most ordinary people will turn around and run away when they see you, while bad people will take the initiative to approach you, or directly use force to capture you." Irving said.
After a pause, he asked again: "Speaking of which, can you tell the difference between good guys and bad guys? Didn't you just say that you were cheated on the island?"
These words touched Winnie's pain point. The first time she came into contact with humans, she was put in a cage and then transported here.
Fortunately, Winnie managed to escape and met good people like Owen.
Otherwise, she will most likely be captured by the original bad guys, or captured and imprisoned by another group of bad guys.
"Is there no place that can accept me?" Winnie lowered her head in distress.
"Yes, Winnie."
Teresa put her hand on Winnie's and held it gently.
"If you want to experience the outside world, you might as well come to Bianzhu Town. The people there are very accepting of the demi-human race. The person who asked you is the lord of Bianzhu Town. You can beg him. He is
I will never refuse.”
Hey! Teresa, you seem to be abducting a simple and ignorant Winged Tribe, Owen complained in his heart.
"Really?!"
Winnie's eyes lit up with hope again, she looked up at Owen, begging expectantly.
"Dear Sir Owen Eisen, please take me to Border Guard Town. I am willing to do anything to repay your kindness!"
Forget it, Owen didn't know how to send Winnie home anyway, and she didn't want to go back. If she left it alone, she might encounter various dangers.
It would be better to recruit Winnie to Border Guard Town and arrange some work at the same time to save her from flying around.
The flying demi-human race seems to be able to do a lot of things if trained.
"Oh well."
Owen put on a reluctant look and agreed.
"Just think that I hired you to work in Border Guard Town. As long as you complete the training or tasks I give you, you can receive salary every month."
"Great! Thank you Lord Owen Eisen!"
Winnie was so happy that she raised her arms high and flapped the wings behind her slightly.
"You have to call me Lord." Teresa reminded.
"Oh!" Winnie quickly changed her words, "Thank you, Lord."
"Okay, that's it for now."
Suddenly turning into a serious face, Owen said seriously: "Now let's talk about those bad guys, Winnie, do you still remember where you escaped from?"
…
On the outskirts of Dongsheng Fortress, there is a two-story building built in a relatively secluded place, with two guards who look good at guarding the door.
In the room on the second floor, a bald man with a beard and a fierce appearance was sitting angrily on a chair. In front of him were two subordinates, one tall and one short, kneeling.
"You two losers!"
The bald man slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, and it broke into pieces with a snap.
"You actually let that extremely rare birdman escape from the cage during transportation. Don't you want to live?"
"Boss! Have mercy on me, we know we were wrong."
Gao Zi was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly kowtowed on the ground several times.
"Yes, yes, we won't do it again next time." The short man also kowtowed a few times.
"Do you have a next time?"
An opportunity to make a lot of money flew away, and the bald man was so angry that he wanted to kill these two losers now.
"Boss! Spare our lives."
Gao Zi raised his head slightly and said cautiously: "We only feed that birdman a small piece of black bread every day. She is also scarred and she will not be able to fly too far. You are in urgent need of manpower to search for her now, and we both know where she is going."
Fly in the direction."
