Chapter 770 Triple Test
For the 37 slaves who were bought, this may be the most inexplicable day in their lives. They grew up like animals, and their biggest wish in life is to meet a kind master and have enough to eat every day.
Dress warmly and live a stable life.
Today, a nobleman did show up, and he was a nobleman who could make slave traders bend. But this nobleman was very strange. After buying them, he didn't say anything, put blindfolds on everyone, and then led them away, even bending his head in the middle.
It was twisting and turning, as if it didn't want them to know where they were going.
When vision is deprived, the perception of time becomes somewhat numb. The slaves do not know how long they have been walking. They can only feel that they have entered the room based on the temperature difference. As soon as they stand firm, the blindfold is taken off.
.
The place where the slaves were was a secret room. The nobleman who bought them took off his cloak, revealing a rough face. He asked lightly: "Does anyone know me?"
The slaves had never seen much of the world. Suddenly such a person appeared. They didn't know him. They all shook their heads.
Only one old slave was stunned for a moment, took a breath and said: "I have seen your portrait in the newspaper that the master reads! Are you that Lord Lugo Hircine?!"
The slaves immediately exclaimed.
In the past, when Lugo was the security captain of Twilight City and the deputy general of the Death Regiment, I am afraid that few slaves really knew him. Those official titles can scare others, but the slaves have never seen the world, so how would they know?
What do those titles mean?
However, since the invasion of the remnants of the Six Kings, Lugo's name has spread not only to the nobles and commoners across the kingdom, but also to the ears of the slaves.
Compared with nobles and commoners, slaves admired Lugo even more because this man accomplished what everyone had dreamed of doing their entire lives and was expelled from slavery by his own ability and gained glory.
Since the founding of Doguland, there have been tens of millions of slaves, and most of them have lived under that brand for their entire lives. How many people can be expelled from slavery? I'm afraid I can write all the names on a piece of paper.
Lugo is the only person who once held a high position, was demoted to a slave after committing a crime, but was reborn from a desperate situation. Looking through the history books, Lugo is the only one.
The deeds Lugo accomplished were a miracle in the eyes of the slaves, and even more so an unattainable dream. When he stood in front of them alive, the slaves felt a sense of distortion for a moment, wondering if this was a dream.
Lugo sat down on the table casually, looked at the slaves in front of him and said: "I'm tired of talking about those polite nonsense, and I don't want to say it anymore, so let's get straight to the point."
"I believe you all know me and know my past deeds. I now have three questions for you. The first question is, which of you wants to be like me, to get rid of slavery and gain glory?"
After a brief silence, the slaves jumped up and stretched out their withered hands towards Lugo, shouting "Me, me, me", for fear of being a step slower than others.
"Very good." Lugo didn't respond to anyone with any movement, and then said, "Second question, in order to get rid of slavery and gain glory, which of you is willing to put your life on the line?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring cold water on the air. The slaves were silent, and they all looked at Lugo at a loss, not understanding what he meant.
Lugo: "Let me make my words clearer. I tell you clearly now that I can provide you with an opportunity to change your life against the odds, but the danger is no less than me leading the people in the northern mining area to attack the remnants of the Six Kings.
Your survival rate may be 1 out of 10, or even 1 out of 100."
"With this kind of future, which of you is willing to challenge your own destiny?"
"It's okay, don't be nervous. This is asking, not forcing. Those who back down can get 100 copper moons. From now on, we will go our separate ways without disturbing you again."
The slaves looked at each other with fear and doubt in their eyes. One of them asked cautiously: "Sir, can you give us some time to discuss?"
Lugo shrugged and acquiesced.
The slaves gathered together and discussed with each other. After a while of whispering, 8 of the 37 slaves stood up. Most of them were old people in their dying years.
The old slave who took the lead trembled and said: "Sir, we are already very old. It would not be surprising even if we die suddenly one day. Glory and the like are too far away for us. Our biggest wish now is
If you are willing to reward me with monthly coins so that I can have enough food and clothing in my old age, we would be very grateful!"
Lugo didn't say anything nonsense. He poured a glass of water for all eight people, added a white powder to it, and said, "Come on, drink this glass of water."
Lugo did not hide the action of adding the powder just now. Everyone saw it. Their first reaction was that it was poison. They felt that Lugo was going to kill people and silence them. The few slaves who retreated were frightened and knelt down: "Sir, please give us a way to survive.
Bar!"
"Don't worry, this is not poison." Lugo said calmly, "If you drink this glass of water, you will fall asleep soon. When you wake up, you will forget everything you did within 24 hours. I will be responsible for carrying you.
Go to a safe place, and the promised 100 copper moons will not be lost to you."
Seeing that the slaves were still hesitant, Lugo added: "Today's conversation is confidential. I will not allow anyone who shrinks to leave here with their memories. The eight of you are already out. Even if you refuse to drink, I will force you to drink."
If you drink it within 30 seconds, I will give you 10 more copper moons."
As soon as these words came out, a brave old slave gritted his teeth and came over to grab a glass of water and drank it. Not long after drinking, as Lugo said, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
The other slaves cautiously went over to check for breathing, and found that the man's breath was very stable, and he was really asleep. They no longer had any worries, and they all came over and drank all the water, and fainted on the ground one by one.
What Lugo added to the water was none other than the forgetting potion that Kino had previously stored in the space ring. This is an item from the cube. It is of no use to extraordinary people, but it works quickly for ordinary people and can be wiped out.
Exclude memories within a certain time range.
After the eight slaves finished drinking, Lugo tied money bags containing copper moons around their waists as agreed. However, he did not move them for the time being, but continued: "For the remaining 29, I default that I am willing to persist.
For those who go down, it is not easy to pass two levels in a row, but I have one last question to ask you."
Lugo stared at everyone, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, and his voice was so cold that it made people feel chilling: "In order to get rid of slavery and gain glory, which of you is willing to fight against the entire Doguland nobles and support a new generation?"
