Chapter 65

When they came to the place where the retainers were placed, they saw that more than 100 people had already lined up neatly to welcome the arrival of the master Lin Yifan.

God-disciple Durant saluted in blunt Central Plains dialect: "Our honorable master, your most loyal servant Durant led all the retainers to pay tribute to you." After speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground and kissed the ground.Everyone followed suit under the leadership of Durant.

Lin Yifan frowned slightly, and hurriedly got them up, and then said to Durant, "Don't salute like this in the future. Once you salute, you'll be covered in mud. You only need to bow slightly when saluting to me. Do you understand?"

Durant quickly bowed and said, "Master, if this is your will, we shall obey it."

Lin Yifan glanced at him appreciatively, the change was quite quick.So he smiled and said, "That's good. By the way, how are you doing recently? What are the difficulties?"

Durant raised his hand and praised: "Father God, it couldn't be better. Compared with other slaves, we are like living in heaven. We are deeply disturbed by this."

"Uneasy?" Lin Yifan was taken aback for a moment, wouldn't he be nice to you?Even uneasy.Can't help asking strangely, "Is there something I didn't do well?"

"No, no, no." Durant quickly shook his head and explained, "You are too kind to us, and this is what makes us uneasy. We are slaves you bought, and we are slaves to be used. But, until now, you It does not drive us to do things, and we strongly protest against that, we are your retainers, and we must serve you."

"What? There's such a thing?" Lin Yifan was a little dazed. He had seen someone who was lazy and slippery, but he had never seen someone who asked for work. "Why? Could it be that there is nothing to do?"

"Oh, the master may not know much about our Western affairs." Durant said regretfully, "Master, in the West, as a slave, you have to work hard to prove your worth, otherwise you are a waste. And the fate of waste is Sadly, some of them will be sent to be the death squads in the next war, and they will not be able to escape until they die; some will be buried alive as martyrs after the death of the noble adults; some will be sent to the Church of the Father As a human sacrifice to sacrifice to God the Father." Speaking of this, Durant's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear.Looking sadly at Lin Yifan, he continued, "Therefore, we must contribute our own value to our masters in order to gain their favor, improve our status, and even change the fate of being slaves forever. Honorable master, we, as your Slave, I don't want your kindness, I just want your approval. Please give us something to do!"

After hearing Durant's words, Lin Yifan was a little shocked. He never thought that the fate of the slaves in the West was so tragic.Then he thought that if Hengshan was destroyed by the werewolves and the people were captured by the werewolves and became slaves, they might end up worse than them.Thinking of this, the melancholy in his eyes became more intense.

"Durant, we Tianwu people in the East are different from you in the West. We are a civilized country and will not treat slaves as human beings. We even have a law that stipulates some restrictions on the treatment of slaves. Therefore, you can rest assured , The things you mentioned are absolutely not allowed to happen here." Lin Yifan said seriously, "Since you want to seek your own status and even change your destiny through doing things. Then, I hereby assure you that as long as you Do things for me with all your heart, and I will release you from your slavery and set you free."

Durant was overjoyed, bowed deeply to Lin Yifan, turned around and spoke in Western language to everyone.Everyone immediately cheered when they heard the words, and expressed their gratitude to Lin Yifan in broken Central Plains dialect. "Master, long live, long live!"

After dispersing the crowd, Lin Yifan left Durant alone, and asked, "Durant, since you are going to do something, you must tell me what you can do, so I can arrange it."

Durant smiled confidently: "Master, I have already prepared for this. After communicating these days, I have a better understanding of everyone's situation. Among the 160 seven retainers, most of them have military skills. A total of 96 male slaves have good martial arts skills and can be your guardian warriors. They come from different countries and have their own unique combat methods and weapons. As long as the master pays more attention, he will be able to discover their strengths Potential. Of the remaining 22 male slaves, two have blacksmith skills, one has construction talent, and eight have worked as workshop workers, respectively in Liulichang, brewery, textile factory and other workshops. Two One had been a merchant, but went bankrupt. Three others had been sailors, master navigators. The other five were farmers on plantations. The last, that is, I, had been one of the Fathers' missionaries stationed in the country. A disciple of God. As for the 49 female slaves, they are all maids and family members of noble families, and their births are not bad. If the master is interested, I can arrange for you."

"Ahem!" Lin Yifan was a little embarrassed and moved when he heard the words, but when he thought of Luo Qing'er, he completely extinguished the fire in his heart, "Well, these women will be handed over to Luo Qing'er, the daughter of County Captain Luo. "

Durant looked at Lin Yifan suspiciously, and suddenly said: "Honorable master, I understand, I will definitely train these female slaves well."

"Also, register the identities and skills of those people you mentioned just now. Oh, by the way, you don't know how to write Zhongyuan characters, so you go to the village's documents, and you dictate them, and he fills them in. Do you understand?"

Durant bowed and replied: "I know, I will work hard to learn Chinese characters, and strive to adapt to life in the East as soon as possible."

"That's good." Lin Yifan nodded and said, "Now that you are my retainers, you are entitled to know your master, who am I?"

Lin Yifan looked at Durant, and saw a trace of confusion in his eyes, "Actually, I am not a horse thief or sand thief, but the county magistrate of HS County of the Tianwu Empire."

Durant became even more confused, "County magistrate? Master, I don't understand what it means."

"Oh, I forgot that you are not familiar with the customs of our Tianwu. The administrative system of our empire is divided into four levels of administrative units: the central government, the state department, the county government, and the county government. The county magistrate is the smallest administrative officer among these four levels. Do you understand?" Lin Yifan explained.

Durant thought for a while before saying: "I see, master, you are actually equivalent to a viscount in our western feudal lordship system. Only after becoming a viscount can you be granted a fief. This Hengshan must be your fief." ?”

"Eh?" Lin Yifan wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, forget it. If he explained it, it would involve a lot of problems, and he couldn't finish it. "That's right. In short, I am a person with status and background in the Tianwu Empire. As long as you have the ability, I will not hesitate to give you official positions and make you masters."

Durant was overjoyed, "I swear in the name of God the Father that I will always be loyal, brave and obedient to my master."

"Okay, I believe in your loyalty. Tomorrow, I want you to take 96 soldiers with me to Dingyuan County City. For the rest, I will order others to take them to Hengshan for resettlement." Lin Yifan ordered, "Durant, you have only one mission for this trip, to buy slaves with all your strength, but remember, all I want this time are soldiers and talents with certain skills, and I don't want any other slaves, understand?"

Durant hurriedly bowed and said, "Master is kind, I will definitely handle this matter well."
