Seeing Baron Carfield being kicked by Thorok until he coughed up blood, the farmers all screamed in grief.
Their expressions were distorted, their whole bodies were trembling, and they looked at Baron Carfield who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, their eyes full of fear.
As rural farmers in a barony, have they ever seen such a scene?
In their eyes, Baron Carfield was already an unattainable big shot. He always looked aloof in the territory and acted tyrannically wherever he went. How could he ever fall to the ground and vomit blood in such a miserable way?
With their limited knowledge and vision, the greatest person they have ever seen in their lives is Baron Carfield.
Now, in their eyes, this noble nobleman, who was extremely great, was kicked until he coughed up blood. One can imagine what kind of impact this would have on them.
However, Sorok didn't feel relieved yet.
"Although you are only the lowest baron, you are still a lord no matter what, right?"
Sorok walked up to Baron Carfield and looked down at him, bloodshot eyes appearing.
"Since you are a lord, how can you not take good care of your own territory and manage your own people?"
"You must be a guy who only cares about being arrogant and has not fulfilled your responsibilities as a lord at all, right?"
"This is simply a crime worthy of death, don't you think so?"
Sorok's ferocious words were naturally followed by Baron Carfield's terrified screams.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, Your Highness!" Baron Carfield cried and said: "I have fulfilled my obligations as a lord. I will pay my annual taxes on time and my monthly reports will be on time.
When writing, I never cut corners!”
"I am loyal to the royal family, and I support the royal family, Your Highness!"
Baron Carfield thought he would be caught and was treated so badly by Thorok because the good things he did in the territory were discovered.
He is indeed a supporter of the Royal Faction, but it is not that he has not interacted with people from the Duke Faction, and sometimes he will sell some information to them in order to obtain some wealth.
He did pay his taxes on time every year, but these taxes were only about 30% of the taxes he collected in the territory, and the rest was swallowed up by himself.
Not only does he impose heavy taxes in his territory, but if there are residents who cannot pay the taxes, he will directly demote them into slaves and use them as cheap labor, or use them to do some heavy labor, or simply
Sell directly.
As for the monthly territory management report, he asked his civil servants to write it, and it has nothing to do with him.
Baron Carfield did not dare to admit these things, let alone say them out loud, so he could only talk nonsense like this.
But he didn't know that Sorok didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
"You said you have fulfilled your obligations as a lord?"
Sorok then laughed, his laughter filled with anger.
"You have fulfilled your obligations as a lord, so why did you let that kind of guy escape from your territory?"
Sorok began to kick Baron Carfield one after another.
"If you hadn't let him escape, how could I have suffered like this?"
"If it weren't for your incompetence, how could that guy have been hiding so far?"
"If you had discovered that guy's talent and potential from the beginning, controlled him in advance, and trained him into a loyal dog, how could he have the chance to show off in front of me?"
"So, it's all you, everything is your fault!"
Sorok arbitrarily and unreasonably put all the blame on Baron Kafeld, venting his anger unilaterally, and the force on his feet became heavier and heavier, so much that Baron Kafeld was killed.
He was kicked until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and blood was splattered all over his body.
"Gah...! Ah...! Guwu...!"
Baron Carfield could still keep crying and begging for mercy at first, but over time he had no choice but to scream in agony.
Not long after, Baron Carfield was completely out of shape, lying in a pool of blood, dying, and he no longer had the strength to hold his head.
Sorok was still angry. After kicking him several times, he turned to the farmers.
"Spare my life!"
"Spare my life!"
Several farmers were stunned with fear. When Sorok turned to them, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying miserably.
Sorok looked at the three people with eyes that still seemed to be looking at something dirty, but he was somewhat relieved and did not hit anyone again.
"Are you the grandfather and parents of Rigo Brighaut?"
Sorok asked coldly.
"Li, Li Ge?"
When the three of them heard the name, they were stunned on the spot.
Naturally, it is impossible for the three of them not to recognize this name.
That was a name that once made them go from great joy to great sadness, and then from great sadness to anger and hatred.
Three generations of the Brighaut family have been farmers.
Not only have they been living in the barony of Carfield, but they have also been extremely poor for generations and can only make a living by farming. They are inferior people comparable to slaves.
Regardless of whether it is Mr. Brighaut or his father, they are all people who hope to get rid of poverty, no longer be farmers, and live a life of great wealth.
Unfortunately, not only did they not get what they wanted, Lord Brighaut was demoted to a slave because he could not pay taxes, and became one of the many slaves without human rights under Baron Carfield.
They do the most work on weekdays, but receive the least remuneration. They can barely make ends meet. Not to mention nine meals in three days, they will definitely go hungry for six or seven meals.
Such hard days have not changed even after the original owner was born.
It wasn't until about a year ago that the Brighaut family discovered by chance that the original owner was born with extremely strong magic power and might be able to become a magician, and they were overjoyed.
For those who have been farmers and even slaves all their lives, magicians are an extremely noble existence.
They have no concept of combat-level, tactical-level, or strategic-level magicians, but there is a magician in Baron Carfield, who is hired by Baron Carfield to inflict evil on the people who cannot pay taxes.
He didn't have to do anything else in the slavery contract, but he had a status second only to Baron Carfield. He was supported, admired, and loved by others, and he was served with plenty of food and fish every day, and his life was extremely nourishing.
He can release fireballs and smash huge rocks that even several strong men cannot lift with one blow.
He can blow strong winds, and no matter how many slaves and guards surround him, he can blow them all away with ease.
In the eyes of people in that rural area, such power can only be described as a miracle.
If their children and grandchildren can become that kind of person, then they will definitely be able to live a good life and no longer be poor farmers.
So, a few people were so happy that they directly made arrangements for him, regardless of the original owner's presence.
That is to dedicate him to the lord and let him work for the lord.
This led to the original owner's escape and the shattering of the Brighaut family's dream.
Therefore, during this year, they were angry and resentful all the time, thinking that it was unjust for this unscrupulous descendant to abandon his family and ignore them.
If they hadn't dared to leave the territory casually, fearing that they would be beaten to death by the lord's men, they would have desperately chased after him, caught the bastard back, and beaten him severely.
In this way, it was not until today that they heard Li Ge's name again.
Could it be...
"Yes, did that bastard offend you?"
Grandpa Brighaut trembled and said these words.
"That has nothing to do with us!"
Brehaute's mother also burst into tears.
"That bastard ran away from home a long time ago and has nothing to do with us. If you want to settle the score, just go find him himself. It doesn't matter if you beat him to death. That kind of wolf-hearted guy deserves to die!"
Father Brighaut even vented his anger and hatred towards Li Ge.
The three people immediately started talking to each other and kept shouting. In short, they were showing that they had nothing to do with Li Ge. They didn't know what he did. The huge sin was his fault alone and had nothing to do with them.
relation.
Seeing the ugly looks and even more ugly words made by the Brighaut family in order to survive, Sorok actually smiled.
Moreover, this time, there was no anger in his smile, but only happiness.
"I see, that guy was born in this kind of family. No wonder he wants to hide his strength and develop secretly. If you discover his ability too early, he will definitely become your money-making tool and be captured and sacrificed to that trash.
Baron?"
Sorok felt that he had seen part of the truth hidden by Li Ge.
But that's not important for now.
"Perhaps you don't know yet?" Sorok sneered at the Brighaut family: "Your unfilial son and grandson has now become the seventh sword master of the kingdom, and is also a tactical-level magician, with the same status as
With such high strength, you can be considered to be at the top of this kingdom, right?"
Hearing this, the Brighaut family was stunned again.
"Of course, this is not important." Sorok changed his tone and said: "What is important is that your grandson, your son, has become famous now, so as relatives, it is only natural that you come to find him, right?
"
"Do you want to live?"
"It's very simple, just complete a task."
Sorok placed a bottle of something that looked like a potion in front of the Brighaut family.
"As long as you can find an opportunity for him to take this bottle of magic potion, I will not only let you live, but I will also let you get the wealth you dream of."
"How about it?"
"Can it be done?"
As soon as Sorok finished speaking, the Brighaut family looked at each other with expressions of ecstasy.
"able!"
"We can!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
The three of them didn't hesitate for a moment, and while shouting, the only words echoing in their minds - "Get the wealth you dream of."
As for what the bottle of medicine was and what would happen to Li Ge after drinking it, that was not what they wanted to know.
"very good."
The sneer on Sorok's face became more intense.
He couldn't wait to find out.
I want to know what kind of expression Li Ge will show after drinking the magic potion he prepared for him and being betrayed by his relatives.
Sorok like this didn't know that outside, a figure was slowly walking towards him.
