Become the city lord from today

"Shhhh

Averly pulled her foot out of the snow, where the snow had reached her knees, and she had traveled for two or three days to finally reach Blade City.

"Whew..." Averly exhaled hotly, her face full of tiredness, she hadn't slept well in the evening, it was too cold, even if she was wearing a thick animal skin coat.

"Roll over the woods in front of you and you can reach Blade City." Averly put away the animal skin map in her hand, which Bella gave her before leaving.

She thought of Bella and couldn't help sighing, "I hope her choice won't be wrong, otherwise... If Her Royal Highness knew that Bella was going to do such a stupid thing, she would only laugh and her stomach hurt. "

"Boom, poof..."

Foot by foot in a snow pit, Avery walked laboriously in the woods, and after walking for half an hour, she came to the edge of the woods and saw a flat city in the distance, surrounded by some houses.

Averly made a little disguise, the wolf's ears were wrapped in cloth, the wolf's tail was tucked into the hem of his clothes, and the big sword in both hands was wrapped around the sackcloth, and then he walked towards Blade City.

Coming closer, Averly saw a variety of houses, including wooden houses and earthen wall houses, and the architectural styles were also diversified, oval, triangular, flat-roofed wooden shed, pointed thatch...

And there are many houses that have been crushed by snow, and frozen corpses can be seen everywhere; Of course, there are more people, there are human races, orcs, but many people seem to be in very poor physical condition, some are skinny, and have numb eyes, regardless of adults and children, they are the same.

Children are slightly better, in addition to physical condition, some will smile, while adults, but more are dazed and depressed.

Averly knew that these people were all slaves, slaves belonging to the Lord of Blade City; As for why these slaves were allowed to live outside the city and left unguarded?

This brings us to Blade City, a city of slavery, where eighty percent of the entire city is a slave, and it is also a favorite city for slave traders.

The grain was in the hands of the city lord, who would only distribute a little wheat soup every day to prevent people from starving; And, most importantly, slaves outside the city were inferior 'goods', and those who lived in the city were high-priced 'goods'.

If slaves living outside the city want to escape, then do so, especially in winter, to ensure that they will die if they do not escape far.

The biggest change between cities in this era was the means of ruling by the city lords, and sometimes, the differences between the two cities were very large, after all, there were many strange nobles.

"Shh

The sound of a group of footsteps and snow, as well as the sound of dense gasping for breath, made Averly quickly hide, she didn't want to be captured and sold as a slave.

Not far away, seven or eight slaves were holding a plank in their hands, on which sat a proud man, his eyes scanning the surroundings with disgust.

"Hey... Listen, the lord of the city will dig a moat, and a hundred strong people will have wheat porridge to drink when they work. "

Many slaves knew him, and he was a clerk in Blade City, one of the people in charge of managing slaves outside the city.

"I, I'm coming, I'm strong.

"My son needs wheat porridge, I'll come, I'll come..."

“............"

The pale and weak cry is to survive, even if a bowl of wheat porridge can only be filled half-full.

", are you so skinny? Do you want to cheat wheat porridge to eat? me! The clerk opened his mouth and spewed wildly.

The slaves, still unmoved, squeezed in the direction of the clerical stewards, they needed the bowl of wheat porridge, and in this way, most of them would not survive this winter, and they would be starved and frozen.

"..."Averly's whole body is hidden in the shadows, her orange eyes are full of coldness, and she goes to dig a moat on a snowy day, is this to make people die of exhaustion and freeze?

"Okay, the number of people is enough, you guys hurry up, don't come if it's late." The clerical steward knocked on the board, and the slaves below had pain-filled faces, and they trembled their hands, trying to support the plank and turn their heads, holding the clerical steward towards Blade City.

He was followed by three hundred slaves, among whom were orcs, Terrans; In Blade City, there are no orcs, terrans, they have only one identity, that is, slaves.

"How many times is this? Just yesterday took away three hundred people, today took another three hundred. "

"Aren't they all coming back? Or live in town? Bought again? "

"Perhaps, maybe you live in another place."

"How is it possible, yesterday... A few children starved to death! "

“............ This is fate! "

Averly listened to all this silently, and under the flickering of cold eyes, she walked in the shadows and sneaked towards Blade City, and the orc who was suspected to be Her Royal Highness the Princess was in Blade City.

She followed the group, trying not to make a noise, and the more she went, the more surprised they were, not in Blade City at all, but in another direction, a small hillside with only a few lone pine trees on it.

Avery was not following, hiding behind a rock, looking at the few horsemen under the pine tree, they were smiling, holding knightly swords in their hands, all in their twenties, wearing exquisite knightly armor.

Dressed like this, Averly immediately knew their identity, they were all nobles!

"What are these people doing here? Slave picking? Averly frowned, she always felt that something was not quite right.

"Ah! Don't, no..."

"Don't kill me, I don't want wheat porridge, my son is still there... Ahhh..."

“........."

"Hahaha... Flee, let me run as much as I can, and if I don't escape, I will kill you." "

"These 'horse thieves' are really weak, my father should praise my bravery when I go back, right? Hahahaha..."

“........."

Averly's orange eyes trembled, and she watched several nobles playing the game of 'knights chasing horse thieves'.

"This damn world, everything in the world is evil!"

Averly gritted her teeth, she often wondered, why are people so despicable? She has imagined people to be ten times more vicious, but in fact, every time she sees them, they are ten times more vicious than she imagined.

Every time, Averly imagines the world to be a little better, but...

Is there still goodness in this world?
