Chapter 24 One hundred thousand times the value

Erica Green lived in a happy and fulfilling noble family since childhood, with a pair of parents who loved her and an older brother who spoiled her.

She thought that she would spend the rest of her life so carefree, but God played a cruel joke on her.

Half a year ago, a nightmare came.

The family was framed and owed huge debts. In order to pay off the debt, my father had no choice but to dismiss the servants and sold his titles and territory.

She went from being a glamorous noble lady to an ordinary civilian.

But Erica has a good mentality. As long as she has family members who love her, even civilians will be very happy.

But he was wrong. When she was a noble, she did not understand the lives of the lower class people, did not know how hard the civilians lived, and did not know that civilians could be threatened with their lives at any time.

In her second week as a civilian, her new home was attacked by horse thieves.

After handing over the remaining property, her parents were brutally killed by the horse thief. In order to protect herself, her brother attracted the hatred of the horse thief. She saw her brother being brutally killed with her own eyes.

She was in the weeds next to her, and she didn't dare to cry. She couldn't let her brother down for the opportunity she had earned with her life.

Maybe she was lucky. After plundering property, the horse thief left in a hurry without carefully checking it. Maybe she was looting the next family, or maybe she was looking for a place to have fun. She didn't know, but she knew that she had survived and exchanged for her family's life.

From then on, Erica began to live in exile.

She is a woman with no skills and no physical strength. The only thing she can do is beg, and she follows some refugees beg together.

She has traveled many places in half a year.

The refugees around her were also replaced one after another. The refugees either starved to death or disappeared for no reason. She was lucky. Although she was in a difficult situation, she could barely survive by eating some food thrown by the nobles.

But good luck will eventually come to an end, and she is targeted by a slave trader!

The slave trader didn't even waste any effort and easily caught her.

She thought that from then on, she would never have freedom and become a dog under the feet of the noble, or that the other party would find out that she was once a noble lady, and that would end up even worse.

But I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate.

After Erica followed the slave merchant to this city called Red Leaf City, no one bought her!

Most of the male lords who came with her were bought, but almost all of them were left.

Her price is only fifty copper coins, and a large piece of complete black bread is only fifty copper coins. In her opinion, this is extremely cheap, but no one wants it.

Only then did she know what waste means.

In an accident, Erica heard a desperate news from the chat of the slave merchant.

Hongye City has no food anymore, and it won't take long to fall. The slave merchants are preparing to evacuate, but if they bring so many slaves on the road, they will consume a lot of extra coins, which is obviously not cost-effective. They are ready to give up these slaves and let them fend for themselves.

After hearing this news, Ellie was relieved after despair. Maybe she died, but she was sorry for her dead parents and brother...

Many slaves heard this news, or the slave merchants did not deliberately conceal it. They had their own thugs and were not afraid of these thin slaves resisting. After all, they could only eat a piece of black bread the size of an egg in three days and had no strength to resist.

As for why these merchants didn't give up these slaves now, of course, they were to see if they could make the last profit, and what if the passing nobles needed it.

As a result, this "in case" really made these merchants meet, but they were not the passing nobles, but the new city lord of Hongye City.

These slave merchants didn't know why the city lord bought these useless slaves, and they didn't want to know, they just wanted to take action quickly and then evacuate.

So, just like this, Erica was a little confused, she met the city lord of Red Leaf City.

When Erica saw Zhang Feng for the first time, she had only one thought in her mind: This city lord is so beautiful!

If she were still the noble lady of the past, she might have shyly given a bouquet of pink roses.

Unfortunately, there is no if. She is just a dirty and humble slave now. Her only idea is to hope that this beautiful city lord can give her a little mercy, buy her, and give her a piece of black bread. After all, she is almost starving to death.

Perhaps because he heard Erica's inner prayer, the city lord waved his hand and not only bought her, but also bought all the slaves!

Erica was surprised, but she was more surprised. No matter what the purpose of the city lord had or what her fate would be like in the future, at least she would not starve to death now. After all, the city lord spent so much money to buy them, and it was impossible for her to starve to death.

However, things were somewhat unexpected.

A knight named Marlowe set up several large iron pots in front of them under the order of the city lord!

This action scared Erica, not only her, but all the slaves were shocked.

Could it be that because Hongye City lacks food, the city lord is preparing to let them play the food guest appearance?

Fortunately, the city lord spoke, it was just boiling water and letting them take a shower. They were too smelly!

It turned out to be a false alarm.

As for the city lord saying that they are smelly, the slaves don't care. After all, it's better to survive than anything else. Whether it smells bad or not is stinky is not important to them.

However, since the city lord asked to take a bath, they naturally dared not refuse to obey.

Erica found that the city lord was also caring to separate men and women. After all, people are still ashamed. If a large group of people take off all their clothes in this yard and take a shower, Erica felt that her last dignity would be lost.

Fortunately, the city lord is a good person.

The bathing process surprised Erica even more.

First of all, she actually used hot water to take a bath. She hadn't reacted before, but she came to her senses when she was really poured from beginning to end by hot water.

When she was a noble lady, firewood was a very precious thing. Apart from cooking, no one would waste firewood to boil water, and no one would take a bath with hot water. After all, taking a bath represents a decrease in immunity.

And now she realized that it was so comfortable to take a bath in hot water!

At this time, the maids of the castle brought in two pieces of things that had a strange smell. I heard that the medicine soap was specially prepared for them by the city lord.

When taking a shower, just pick up a piece and rub it on your body.

Since it was ordered by the city lord, no one dared not to listen.

Erica was no exception, but what surprised her was that after the baptism of this medicine soap, not only did the stains on her body disappear, but even the problem of skin itching many years ago was not itchy. She felt that she was completely renewed!

If someone tells her now that she will get sick when taking a bath, she will resolutely spit on his face because she has never felt so good.

It can be seen that this medicine soap is definitely a fine collection of the city lord!

Then the city lord prepared clean clothes for them. Although the fabric was very ordinary, it was much better than their "slave outfits" that had been worn for months or even years!

She originally thought she was lucky enough today, but she didn't expect the highlight to be behind.

Unlimited black bread, open to their slaves!

You know that she is only worth a large piece of black bread!

If there weren't soldiers maintaining order, all the slaves would probably go crazy.

The tall and big Knight Marlow told her that black bread can be eaten until full, but it cannot be wasted. For example, even if you can't eat it, you have to force it into your mouth. If you find it, throw it out and feed the fish!

However, Knight Marlow also said that since they were all bought by the City Lord, they would naturally not be short of food in the future. If the City Lord angered because of this first meal, then the countless meals in the future will be out of your reach.

The slaves finally calmed down at this time, and Erica agreed with Marlowe.

Although she was very hungry, she still ate slowly with the hot water next to her. She felt that her good life might be coming!

Even though she is still a slave now, judging from the various actions of the city lord, these slaves are valued!

Put on clean clothes, eat and drink, Erica meets the city lord again.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but she thinks that the current city lord is better than the one who was two hours ago!

The first words of the city lord met Erica were stunned.

"Your life is more important than you think!"

"I actually don't need slaves. I only need people who can create value, and it's far more than a hundred times, a thousand times, a thousand times, or even a hundred thousand times!"
