Chapter 52 Bestowing Favors
Chapter 52 Bestowing Favors
"No matter how much others gain, the nobles take the lion's share, leaving everyone barely able to survive."
"That's all so that the nobles have the strength to protect their people!"
As Li Mosi was speaking, the saintess suddenly interrupted.
Ignoring Li Mosi's gaze, she continued, "Without the extraordinary power of the nobles, the common people can't even handle ordinary brown bears, let alone goblins, not to mention stronger creatures like trolls! Their only fate is to be eaten!"
"The nobles are only doing this to protect them! It's only right that the people hand over their harvest!"
After the saintess unleashed her attack, everyone's attention was focused on her.
Li Mosi felt it was time to wake this idiot up.
Snapped!
Zi'an slammed his hand on the ground, stood up, pointed at the saintess, and shouted, "You idiot! How could what our late master saw be wrong? What are the nobles doing with so many people? What good could it possibly be?"
Although she still didn't know what those people who were taken away were doing.
But that's clearly not a good thing!
"That's—that's—mmm!"
The saint blushed as she recalled what Zivan had said to her the day before.
She tried to retaliate, but Li Mosi gagged her with vines.
"Quiet!"
Li Mosi frowned as she looked at the saintess.
Did I give you a chance to speak?
"Mmmmmm!"
The reason why the nobles on the border are bad is simply because the Church of Light has no time to strengthen its management!
The forbidden area is a place that the Church of Light does not allow nobles to enter!
Make her talk!
Li Moss gagged Haki Saint and then left him alone.
He continued, "The nobles were so greedy that people fled their homes and ventured into unfamiliar forests to make a living. Their greed was not limited by territory, so slave-catching teams would enter the forests to capture slaves."
While he was catching his breath, Zi'an sat back down and asked, "Master, what do slaves do?"
She decided to get to the bottom of this.
Li Moss felt she should know this too: "Slaves work for nobles, but they don't receive the pay they deserve. Didn't you have slaves in your former ranks? Those people in rough wool clothes were slaves."
Zi'an asked doubtfully, "But they say they're already satisfied?"
"How many people do you see as happy through their eyes?"
Li Moss asked a new question and then said.
"And it's normal that they're content, because they're considered relatively well-off among slaves. Many more slaves under nobles don't even have such thick clothes."
"The slaves on the manor could neither eat their fill nor keep warm in winter. They could only light a small campfire inside the house, and the whole family would huddle around the fire with their livestock, their food cold in the stomach..."
Li Mosi saw through the confusion in Zi'an's eyes and instead described a scene to her.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Zi'an shuddered, feeling a chill run from his buttocks to the back of his head.
If you don't get enough to eat in winter, you'll become weak. If you're weak, it will be difficult to hunt in spring, and if you can't catch prey, you'll starve to death...
Wouldn't that mean we're doomed?
She suddenly stood up again.
Seeing Zi'an stand up one after another, Li Mosi waved her hand: "Sit down."
"I want to help them, they'll die!"
"Sit down first. Make sure you're safe before helping others!"
Zi'an looked at the cave entrance, then at his late master, forcefully lowered his arms, and sat down once more.
"To help the prisoners, you need to know where they went, have enough power to deal with the nobles, and most importantly—a new way of organizing."
It's always easy to destroy an old organization.
However, without new organizational methods, saboteurs will quickly degenerate and begin to undermine their own organizational structure.
In the end, they died even faster than the old organization.
In comparison, sticking with the old organizational structure can be considered a success.
This is also the common saying that the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself.
Zi'an asked impatiently, "Master, what is the new organizational method?"
"That's complicated and too far-fetched for you. But I explained the general idea yesterday."
Li Mosi looked at Zi Yi as she spoke.
Zi Yi replied: "Let 'the world' become 'the world' of 'all people'."
Li Mosi nodded: "Don't always think about principles. You should start by managing those prisoners. I'll guide you through the process."
He can't possibly pour out all the knowledge in his mind at once.
In particular, both of these disciples were illiterate.
They have acquired basic knowledge and morality in their production and daily life, but this is far from enough.
I can only learn by doing.
Li Mosi stood up and stretched.
Zi Yi turned his head to look at the saintess whose mouth was gagged and eyes were closed, then looked at his grandmother beside him.
He saw his grandmother mouth a sentence.
"captive"
"By the way, my teacher."
Zi Yi suddenly remembered.
"What should we do with that wounded prisoner? Should we send him herbs now?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "You can send him now. You need to make him feel that he can't escape while also feeling that he can live peacefully if he listens to you. That's how you'll make him feel close to you."
Zi'an stood up: "Let me go, Master. With me here, they shouldn't be so eager to escape."
"Okay. We'll go together, but you'll be in charge of applying the medicine."
Zi Yi took out a paste of herbs that he had prepared at some unknown time. Zi An took it and the group went to the large cave.
"Hmm?"
The saintess, who seemed to be deep in thought, was also pulled over.
……
"These goblins are just ignoring us?"
Inside the large cave, goblins were scattered about, some sitting, some lying down, all looking lazy.
Some of the sleeping ones were already snoring.
Looking at the scene before him, Lasso felt that he could catch them off guard and take them down one by one with each hand.
But he didn't dare to hit him.
If they can't get their own spears, even all of them combined can't hurt Enlian.
Not to mention that the slaves were all asleep, and the seven awake employees couldn't quickly create chaos.
"Have you found an opportunity?"
Lacas spoke quietly to his injured companions who were tied together beside him.
He already knew their location from his companions.
It's on the mountain right next to where yesterday's battle took place!
Fleeing south will lead back to Baron Talis's territory, while heading north will allow you to encounter another group!
Neither he nor the captain had mentioned that the team was the "headquarters" responsible for a large area in the surrounding region.
That group included two knights sent by Baron Talis!
If we can catch them, we can definitely launch a counterattack!
"I……"
Just as the wounded prisoner was about to speak, he saw the three men and two goblins enter the cave.
The goblins guarding the weapons immediately stood up, but Zi Yi waved for them to sit down.
Lacas noticed what Enlian was holding and whispered to his companion, "It's probably for you. Don't embarrass yourself."
"Don't worry, I've followed the captain for eight years!"
Zi'an looked at the prisoners. Most of the slaves were already asleep, but the seven regular workers were still awake.
She walked over to the wounded prisoner and offered him some herbs.
"Turn your back around."
Although seeing these people reminds me of being deceived, it fills me with anger.
But she decided to do as her teacher had said.
Anyway, these people can't escape.
But the wounded prisoner pointed at her and yelled, "Enlian, you damn fool who broke the contract! You're worse than a donkey—"
Snapped!
