Lord of Arcane

Chapter 308 Flogged to Death (Ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month!!)

"Mage Xia Duo?"

As soon as the visitor landed, he said Xia Duo's name, but Xia Duo didn't have much impression of him. Although the other party looked handsome and gracious, he really had no impression.

Is this also someone from the Tower of Time?

Xia Duo was a little puzzled, but just lowered the tip of the sword a little, and did not put it away. At the same time, he raised his spirits and entered a state of concentration in casting spells.

He has been in the Tower of Time for a long time, and those who can fly are at least mid-level mages. It shouldn't be that he has no impression at all, which is a bit abnormal.

"I am Xia Duo, you are—"

"I'm the external director of the Tower of Time, you can call me Master Warren." Warren took out a Tower of Time badge and put it on his palm to activate the imprint in it, and a three-dimensional Tower of Time phantom appeared above the badge.

When Xia Duo checked the mark, Warren glanced at the distinctive elf sword in Xia Duo's hand without any trace, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

But it soon became invisible. Once upon a time, the insignificant apprentice in his eyes turned into a mid-level mage and the husband of Lord Niyata.

If he also had Xia Duo's talent, maybe it wouldn't be like this now!
"Master Xia Duo, is the badge okay?"

"No problem!" Xia Duo put away the [Blade of Veto].

There is no problem with the badge, it is owned by the Tower of Time, and this so-called director of foreign affairs is actually the leader of all the peripheral members of the Tower of Time.

It's just that if others don't say it, it's also difficult for Xia Duo to distinguish who is the peripheral member and who is the core member.

"Master Warren, what do you want from me?" Xia Duo was very clear about this. Just now, Master Warren flew straight towards him.

"That's right. Just now I saw someone flying in from the outside and came over to check the situation. It's okay if it's Master Shaduo!" Warren explained.

"Could it be that other people have problems?"

"Of course not, but if it is not a member of the Tower of Time, I will ask the other party's identity and leave a record."

That's it!

The Tower of Time is gone, so there will be more troubles!
Afterwards, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and they became acquainted formally. When Steward Yarman rushed over, Master Warren also found a reason to leave.

……

"Yarman, how is the situation of the people these days? Are the slaves still in peace?"

While walking towards the location of the port warehouse, Xia Duo asked the steward Yarman that he was still a little worried about the five or six days of vacation!

"Due to the impact of the murder case of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, the Lord's leader has stayed in the warehouse for the past two days, not going anywhere, and his mood is relatively stable, while the slave—"

Having said that, Yarman's manager paused for a moment.

Xia Duo immediately asked: "What happened to the slave? Did you want to escape or did something happen?"

"My lord, there was a slave who took advantage of the weak defense during the Midsummer Festival celebration and wanted to jump into the river to escape, but was quickly caught by Lord Layton!"

"Oh? How did Layton handle it?"

"The escapee was flogged to death, and the other people in the same group were also flogged 20 times." Mentioning this, Yarman couldn't help but shudder.

He was also there at the time, and even though he wasn't the one who was flogged, the scene still made people feel very uncomfortable. It wasn't the flogging itself, but Priest Leiden was flogging to prevent the slaves from being beaten to death, and to condense the holy power in the whip.

The whip marks that had just been beaten had already dissipated a lot the next time they were beaten. Arman even thought, could he be whipped forever as long as Priest Leiden wanted to?
Thinking of this, Yarman trembled again.

"Arman, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing!"

Xia Duo just asked casually, and he didn't bother to ask if the other party didn't say anything.Soon, the two arrived outside the warehouse of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce.

The three warehouses were next to each other, and the door was wide open. Georgie and Gibb were patrolling the door with their respective squads in full armor.

Seeing Xia Duo and Arman approaching, the two immediately left the team and greeted them.

"My lord!" This is Qiao Qi.

"My lord!" Gibb hesitated to speak.

But at this moment, Xia Duo was already attracted by the noise from the warehouse, and he also noticed Ji Bu's expression, but he didn't take it seriously, and just encouraged, "It's hard work."

He followed the sound and walked towards the first warehouse.

Because it is summer, there are only simple straw mats arranged inside, and his leaders are learning skills from the craftsmen one by one.

Bang bang bang bang, it's so lively.

"The Lord is here!"

"Lord Lord!"

"grown ups!"

Everyone saluted, and Xia Duo waved his hand to let them continue. He recognized two of the craftsmen, who were his two slaves. The stonemason was named Stone, and the carpenter was named Carpenter.

There are also two young carpenters who don't know where they came from. If there is no accident——

He looked at Yarman, and Yarman also explained at the right time: "The two carpenter apprentices were hired by the Liaton Chamber of Commerce to teach the adults to handle wood. If they were replaced by experienced carpenters, it would not be so difficult." Easy to come."

"Yeah." Xia Duo nodded, it's really not that easy to learn a craft.

With so much development in Savile Town, various needs have long since reached a balance, and it is not impossible to teach apprentices to starve to death of their masters.

It is already very good to invite two carpenter apprentices.

"Go, go and see the slaves!"

Just as he was about to go to the next warehouse, Priest Layton rushed over, "My lord, I have two things to report to my lord."

"Go, talk while walking."

"Yes!"

When he came outside the warehouse, Gibb was already waiting at the door. He seemed to have heard what Layton said just now, and he also said to Xia Duo: "My lord, I also have something to report to my lord."

"come together!"

"Yes!"

While walking, Layton reported, "My lord, a slave escaped the day before yesterday and has been tried. The rest of his working group have also been punished."

"Well, I've heard from Manager Yarman, whipping, right?"

"Yes, I have already restored them, and it will not affect the follow-up labor."

"very good!"

Xia Duo has already seen the slaves in the second warehouse. Everyone is lined up neatly, sitting on the ground and reciting something. Listen carefully, isn't it the "Lord's Quotations" he wrote before?

At present, the number of subjects and slaves is too small. Xia Duo did not promulgate any complicated laws, but only stipulated some daily codes of conduct in the form of "The Lord's Quotations".

It is not difficult for ordinary people to do it as long as they pay a little attention.

"Leighton, what was the second thing you said?"

"This—" Layton glanced at Gibb, but didn't say anything.

Xia Duo immediately knew that this matter was related to Gibb, so he asked Gibb again, "Then what do you want to report?"

"My lord, Aiwa agrees to serve as the instructor of the lord's territory guard, and he has already arrived, in the third warehouse!"

"Oh?"

Hearing that everyone had already arrived, Xia Duo was not in a hurry to go there. Before that, he wanted to hire members of the Aiwa Sect's territory guard to use magic items.

But when he mentioned it to Jibb, he said that he would first seek Aiwa's opinion, and even if he agreed, he would make an appointment to meet and talk again.

Why did it suddenly come to your door now?
