The turbulence of the carriage did not make torio recover from his previous situation.

    After he introduced his career, the man who asked called two bodyguards and took him to a man in Chinese clothes.

    He could not understand the situation, and no one would explain anything to a slave. He could only bow his head and wait for the fate in silence.

    Free again. The man who asked said so, but he didn''t really believe what the other party said.

    He has heard the songs of the Bard:

    Noble words are more beautiful than birds

    Their smiles are as bright as sunshine

    But it''s also like their gorgeous clothes

    God, they are all gifted

    He learned to lie in his mother''s womb

    Put on a mask of hypocrisy as a child

    Civilians, you must keep your eyes open

    Kindness is not their heart

    Slaves, you must not believe it

    Promise, just say it to yourself

    。

    Even in the Far East, he has heard the story of Shanghe collar, and even old slaves can send them to fill the belly of Warcraft.

    Torio hopes his talents can play a role, whether it is to repair the castle for the local lord or keep accounts for him, as long as he can live more days and think about his lovely daughter and beautiful wife in his spare time.

    This is his greatest extravagance.

    However, the fat man in Chinese clothes did not specify his use. Instead, after asking in detail about his life and occupation, he recruited a servant.

    Then he was taken to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and even gave him a full meal.

    What is this?

    Is there a custom of entertaining slaves on the river?

    ......

    In the study, Arthur was holding a quill pen and pouring the knowledge in his mind onto the paper.

    Leah sat quietly in her beautiful maid''s clothes. While she was sleepy, Thorne in armor stepped to Arthur''s desk.

    "My Lord," Thorne whispered.

    "What''s up?" Arthur didn''t look up. Now he was seriously drawing a contour line.

    Looking at Arthur at the desk, Thorne said, "Gustav sent a slave in the east of the kingdom. He said he was an architect who had participated in the construction of the town. He was the one you urgently needed."

    "Architect?!" Arthur looked up at Thorne.

    "Yes."

    "I didn''t expect to land so soon. Bring people up, right here!" Arthur said excitedly.

    Planning the construction of a city is completely different from building a house. The difference is like the gap between building bricks and building houses.

    If you just build walls and houses, there will be competent people in Shanghe Town, but to plan the construction of a town, you have to have experienced architects.

    However, it is impossible for people with such experience to go up the river.

    Arthur was going to ask Gustav to send someone to the big cities in the south. Only a few days later, an architect sent him to the door.

    "Leah, go and get the drawings I drew the day before yesterday."

    "Yes, my Lord."

    Under the guidance of Thorne and two bodyguards, torio was soon brought to Arthur''s eyes.

    "Dear count, torio greets you." with his hands tied in front of him, torio bent down and saluted Arthur deeply.

    Knowing that the young man in front of him was the Lord of the river leader and the one who could decide his fate, torio was full of anxiety and only dared to look up when he entered the door.

    "Tell me why you became a slave and how you came here." Arthur didn''t hurry to ask Thorne to untie him, but looked at him carefully.

    "Yes, my Lord."

    With that, torio slowly talked about his experience in the past month.

    Listening to each other''s story, Arthur frowned, and Leah with red eyes raised her hands and wiped tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time.

    "Thorne, untie him," Arthur said after hearing torio''s story.

    Anyway, to execute a five-year-old child, Arthur thought that Miss bazaar Bilson was too crazy!

    Looking at him, Arthur asked, "torio, you must miss your daughter and wife very much?"

    "Yes, my Lord."

    "Do you want to be reunited with them?"

    "I..." torio looked up at Arthur and hurriedly lowered his head. "Sir, I am now your slave. Your destiny is up to you. As for my daughter and wife... Their life and death have nothing to do with me!"

    Torio''s words surprised Leah with red eyes.

    How could a man who loved his daughter and wife so much say such a thing. Is he a liar?

    "So you don''t want to see them again?"

    Torio lowered his head and said, "No."

    Looking at the determined torio, Arthur smiled and deliberately joked: "hey... I was going to let the businessman named elif bring your daughter and wife here to reunite with you, but since you don''t want to, I can''t force people to be difficult."

    "You have just arrived at shangheling. You probably don''t know the situation here. Here, slaves are people who are about to be free."

    "People in the iron ore bureau should have told you recently. You will not always be a slave. According to your talent, you can regain your freedom as long as you work for me for a certain time."

    "If you are indeed a skilled architect as you say, you will be free in only five years. At that time, you can choose to leave or accept my employment and continue to stay."

    "By the way, I forgot to tell you that you are still paid even during slavery. Of course, not too much."

    It is surprising enough that slaves mainly return to slave freedom.

    And pay! Even a copper coin is incomprehensible.

    Although he knew that he should not believe the noble''s promise to slaves, perhaps because it was too contrary to common sense, torio was a little confused.

    "Your Excellency, is that true?"

    Looking at his hesitation, Arthur pointed to Leah behind him: "see this girl with red eyes? She is the kindest person in the castle. You can always believe her."

    "I''m not," Leah said hurriedly. "Arthur is the kindest man! Adults not only liberated slaves, but also the serfs in the farm and gave them land. Lord Arthur is the kindest nobleman!"

    When Leia finished, Arthur gave her a look of appreciation.

    "You''re stupid! The count doesn''t have to deceive you into being a slave! Whether you like it or not, we can bring your wife and daughter, or do you think you''re smart enough to lie to the count!"

    Although he admired the man in front of him, Thorne was still dissatisfied with the fact that he lied to Arthur.

    She looked at the stubborn Leah, at the joking Arthur, and then at Thorne, who looked serious.

    Torio finally couldn''t hold on any longer. He fell on his knees and began to cry.

    This month''s experience has already made him physically and mentally exhausted and desperate. The reason why he didn''t want to die is that he still has fantasies in his heart and hopes to see his daughter and wife again one day.

    Torio finally stopped crying under Thorne''s scolding.

    When he was about to apologize to himself, Arthur interrupted him.

    "Now, Mr. torio, please look at these drawings."

    "Yes, Lord count!"
