Jarvan has always been relatively gentle in his attitude towards slaves. He agrees with giving slaves food and shelter, and even agrees with giving slaves land.
But allowing slaves to join the army touches Jarvan's bottom line and proves that he has a certain sympathy for slaves, but he still does not regard slaves as human beings.
Not to mention other people, as long as Reggie shows a little kindness to the slaves, he will arouse strong resistance from everyone. In the afternoon, Reggie sent some food and clothes to the slaves' residence, but was reviled by the entire city's residents.
, before Reggie set off with his things, a lot of curses had already reached Reggie's ears.
"There is an old Eastern proverb that says that after some people are full, they will insult the chef who prepares the food for them."
Bacello looked puzzled: "What does this saying mean?"
"It means that such ungrateful people are very hateful!" Reggie gritted his teeth. "They scolded me while counting the gold coins I gave them!"
Batchelor smiled and said: "Sir, we have discussed this issue before. I firmly believe that everyone is born equal, but please give your people some time. This matter cannot be solved overnight."
Yes, it cannot be achieved overnight. In the late Western Han Dynasty, there was a great time traveler who tried to directly promote social change. People whose interests were touched quickly ended his dynasty and his life.
Reggie didn't want to get the same fate as him, but as the New Year was approaching, everyone had to have a meal of meat and wear new clothes.
No matter how many scoldings he heard, Reggie still gave the lord's gift to the slave in person, because Modessa wanted to protect the lord's safety, so the management of the slaves was left to Tyre. Unlike Modessa's iron-fisted approach,
Tyr prefers to treat slaves as friends, and his gentle management style has won the trust and support of slaves.
Tyr's transformation shocked Reggie. Before coming here, Tyr had some discrimination against slaves. I don't know what caused him to change. It's hard to imagine that a paladin with zero tolerance for aliens would treat slaves.
So tolerant.
After distributing the gifts, Tyr invited Reggie to his residence, a unique two-story building with a spacious yard. Tyr's life here was obviously more luxurious than in Broken Snow City.
"Are you used to living here?"
"Not a habit, my lord."
It seemed that Tyre was not satisfied yet, so Reggie smiled and said, "What else do you need? I'll ask someone to bring it to you, as long as it's not a girl."
"There is everything here, and there are many good girls," Tyre poured Reggie a glass of ale, "Maybe you will be invited to my wedding soon."
Reggie laughed loudly when he heard this, but Tyre didn't laugh. It seemed that there were some problems that girls couldn't solve.
"My lord, I really don't mind living with slaves, and I don't even mind marrying a slave, but there is an elf here, which I can't stand."
"Elf?" Reggie called out, "Where is he? Bring him to see me!"
"You can see him anytime, but it's best not here," Taylor shook his head. "The stench on his body makes me sick, and it will stay in the air for several days."
The conditions here are very different from those in the city, especially in winter. Most slaves will not take a bath for several months, not because they are used to being dirty, but because in this era, colds are likely to evolve into
incurable disease.
A big man who picks his feet after not bathing for a long time will definitely have some smell. Reggie was mentally prepared for this, but when he saw the elf, Reggie almost dropped his jaw in shock.
She is not a burly guy, she is an almost impeccably beautiful girl. She is about twenty years old. Like Shirley, she has slightly curly black hair, plain clothes and no makeup.
Her cheeks made her look particularly charming, even the extremely beautiful Imma was slightly inferior to her. Perhaps only Tortosa could compete with him.
Seeing Tyr coming over, the girl hurriedly hid aside. She could feel Tyr's disgust towards him. It wasn't until Tyr ordered her to salute the lord that she timidly walked up to Reggie.
Reggie stared at her for a long time and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ada." The girl answered carefully.
"Are you an elf?"
The girl shook her head desperately and said, "No, I'm not."
"Don't lie to the lord," Tyr said coldly, "or I will cut out your tongue."
"Do you know magic?" Reggie asked the question he was most concerned about first, "I mean, the special abilities of elves."
Ada was still shaking her head: "Sir, I don't understand magic."
Tyre said angrily: "I said, if you dare to lie again, I will cut out your tongue immediately!"
"I... really don't understand."
Modesa, who was standing next to Reggie, spoke: "Sir, maybe this girl doesn't know that she is an elf."
This makes sense. Just like Natalie, she didn't know her identity or what abilities she had at the beginning.
Reggie tried his best to restrain his excitement and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "Are you willing to go to Broken Snow City with me? I will introduce you to some friends and give you a job with a good salary."
"I..." Ada looked at Tyer carefully, fearing that she might say the wrong thing.
Tyr looked at Ada with disgust, frowned and said: "Follow the lord, the sooner the better!"
Ada lowered her head and whispered: "I am willing to obey your orders."
"Let's set off now!" Reggie couldn't wait to bring her back to the castle, and then called Natalie and Imma. He could imagine that they would be crazy with jealousy, and might even start a war over it.
But Ada seemed hesitant. She didn't seem to know Reggie's intention. At this moment, a young man suddenly stood up from the crowd.
"Lord, please let Ada sing another song for us. Her singing voice is really beautiful."
Reggie was stunned for a while, looking at the young man with an expression of admiration on his face, as if his lover had been taken away.
Not just the young man, but many people around him cast reluctant glances. It seemed that Reggie had robbed the slaves of their star.
"Then, let's sing another song." The New Year is coming soon, and Reggie naturally doesn't want to disappoint everyone.
"Sing," Tyr said impatiently, "After you finish singing, hurry up and follow the lord!"
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the girl opened her singing voice.
"Ah, ah~"
The moment he heard the singing, Reggie felt like he was melting.
No matter in his previous life or this life, Reggie had never heard such a beautiful singing voice. Although there were no lyrics and the girl was just humming with a pure voice, Reggie understood every part of the song.
The girl was singing about the sea, and the white snow turned into blue waves in the song, and the cold wind turned into a warm sea breeze. Reggie could even smell the salty smell in the sea breeze.
Everyone was intoxicated by the girl's singing, even Tyer, whose souls were taken away by this beautiful singing.
Time seemed to have stopped, and everyone's expressions were frozen on their faces.
Ada hummed and took out a dagger from her arms. Reggie did not notice it, so she raised the dagger and stabbed Reggie in the chest.
The moment she was about to succeed, Modessa grabbed her wrist, and the sudden pain caused her to drop the dagger to the ground.
"Stupid Tyr, he actually called you an elf," Modesa said with a slight smile, "You are obviously a siren."
