The more pace marched north of Shanghe Town, the more lively the scene became.

    Driving cattle and horses to transport stones, boiling sticky slurry with wooden sticks, planing the ground with tools, pushing wheeled carts to move things, and standing high to build houses

    In the north of Shanghe Town, all old houses have been demolished, and pace''s scene is completely a scene of a construction site.

    These people are slaves? Pace noticed the slave mark on the faces around him. It was a cyan mark tattooed on his cheek with the juice of a plant.

    "Hey! Asshole, don''t stand in the way and get out of the way!"

    At a moment when pace was stunned, four or five oxen and horses pulled wooden carts in front of him. The slave in charge of driving the carts was waving a wooden stick and shouting at him.

    Pace immediately retreated to the roadside, and the driving slaves whipped their horses'' hips and stepped past him in a line.

    Is this a fired brick? He noticed the neatly stacked gray red bricks on the scooter.

    Many large towns in the kingdom will use bricks as building materials. Therefore, it is not a small project to build brick kilns. In Shanghe Town, he rarely saw houses made of bricks, and most of the buildings were made of gravel and wood.

    Looking back at the horse team pulling bricks, pace was surprised, but not surprised.

    There is a kiln dedicated to firing bricks, which only shows that the construction plan of count Lingfeng castle is not as simple as one or two houses.

    Pace continued to walk, surrounded by a large number of civilians besides slaves. He estimated that the number of people responsible for construction was at least thousands.

    Will none of these slaves escape? Pace looked around at the unguarded slaves without bracelets or foot cuffs.

    Even if there are not enough chains to bind these slaves, at least someone should be sent to watch.

    These slaves are really conscious. That man should be a wild man just now. When did such a wild man become so docile? Pace wondered that he could distinguish his original identity from each other''s awkward accent.

    Does the count of Lingfeng Castle really intend to set these slaves free?

    An answer appeared in his mind, but pace smiled at himself and muttered, "Hey, how is it possible? The guy named torio just fell into the hands of the count of Lingfeng castle. However, he was so smart that he came up with such an easy way, but this is not the way of knight. The guy seems to be only a teenager."

    Pace shook his head as he sighed, looking at the slaves around him, thinking about the fate of the sharp blade fortress after their death.

    It''s that guy! Pace stopped. He was still thinking about each other a moment ago, but he ran into a real person immediately.

    Looking at torio standing in front of a house to be completed and explaining the gestures to several people around him, he couldn''t help thinking of the thing that he escorted each other here.

    This guy seems to be doing well. Did he see his wife and daughter. Pace looked at torio ahead and thought.

    He decided to come forward and talk to each other.

    "Mr. torio," pace called.

    Torio was instructing his men to pay attention to the hanging corner of the house. Suddenly he heard someone calling himself behind him, so he turned around immediately.

    "Are you?" torio looked up and down at pace. He thought the man was familiar, but he couldn''t remember each other''s identity for a moment.

    Seeing torio''s puzzled eyes, pace smiled and said, "I escorted you to Shanghe town."

    "Oh..." torio remembered, looked at pace and said happily, "you''re Mr. pace. I remember your men called you that."

    Pace smiled and nodded. "You look good now. The last time I saw you in the street, I couldn''t believe my eyes."

    "Yes, I''m fine now. It''s all a gift from the earl. By the way, my current name is torio tuss. The Earl not only gave me freedom, but also made me an honorary Knight!" torio talked with pace very happily.

    "I all know that you are now a celebrity in Shanghe town. You can always hear the story of your slave becoming an aristocrat in the hotel. It is said that you are also the director of the Engineering Bureau."

    "All this was given to me by the count."

    Looking at each other''s grateful look, pace thought for a moment and decided to tell him, "Mr. torio, do you know that your wife and daughter came to Shanghe Town, too? Like you, they were escorted by me."

    He wants to remind the other party that the noble you appreciate may not be as noble and kind as you think.

    To pace''s surprise, torio didn''t leak his surprised expression. Instead, he said in surprise, "ah, that''s a coincidence. I''ve heard them say. Thank you for taking care of me all the way."

    Torio was indeed very surprised and felt that all this coincided, just as the Bard sang: it was the ending arranged by fate.

    "You know..." pace was confused by torio''s reaction. He felt as if he had thought something wrong.

    "Of course!" said torio positively. "Our family can live together again. It''s all a gift from the Lord."

    Looking at the happy torio, pace was sure that he was not acting for the slaves around him.

    When he exhaled, he suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty, disappointment, incomprehension and surprise.

    It turned out that he was wrong all the time. The count of Lingfeng Castle probably didn''t want to control the slave model at all.

    Will he really set these slaves free? Pace was puzzled. According to elif, each of these slaves was worth more than a dozen gold coins.

    "Mr. pace, is something wrong?" torio asked suspiciously when he saw that the other party suddenly changed his face.

    "No, no," pace replied immediately, "you should have a lot of things to do, so I won''t disturb you."

    Looking at pace who suddenly left, torio looked puzzled. He always felt that the other party seemed to want to tell him something.

    Pace didn''t go too far, so he was attracted by another building.

    "Where is that?"

    He quickened his pace and walked towards the hope school in front of him on the left.

    "Shanghe leading first hope school? What does this do?" pace has roughly understood the name and law of Shanghe town institutions, such as iron ore Bureau, Engineering Bureau and Education Bureau, but what is the responsibility of this "school"?

    Just as pace stood outside the gate of the fence wondering whether he could enter and have a look, several bells suddenly rang in the school. Then a large group of half aged children rushed out of a house in front of him and ran towards him.

    Pace stepped back and stood quietly, watching the children who left school and passed in front of him.

    These children, male and female, carry a cloth bag. When they pass in front of him, they will look at him and take a look at the long sword around his waist.

    Looking at the half aged children coming out of this place called school, pace was really curious and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation.

    "Hey, kid, can I talk to you?"

    Pace took a silver coin between his fingers, took a few steps forward and handed it to a lame boy ready to leave.
