Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Everyone lost the ability to speak at this moment.

No… they were all confused.

According to Hull, those guys who wantonly abused others in the slave guild were indeed sinners.

It's not an exaggeration to call him a scumbag.

But, after all, scumbags are also human beings.

“Once a person loses his humanity and succumbs to animal nature, he is no longer a human being.”

"..."

As if Hull had seen through what the people were thinking, he made this statement at the perfect time.

Helheim is such a terrifying person... He can even see through people's hearts... Is this also magic?

——Devil's magic?!

This thought flashed through people's minds, but like a nightmare, it lingered for a long time.

"These scumbags attacked innocent children just to satisfy their own bestiality. If you can still have good thoughts towards these unforgivable scumbags, then even if your own children were wantonly bullied and abused by these scumbags, you would have nothing to say, right?

"If people like this can be forgiven, there is no justice in our empire!"

Raghu was the only one who stood up and roared.

"..."

Seeing the injuries on the two children with their own eyes, the people's anger was ignited.

But everyone remained silent.

Many people thought that perhaps Lord Helheim was an executioner with a strong sense of justice.

But is it too much to inflict similar evil upon these evil people in return?

Hull seemed to see through the doubts in the hearts of the people present.

"I hope everyone doesn't misunderstand me. This has nothing to do with justice. Ultimately, keeping these scum alive and providing labor is just to ensure that the surplus value of their remaining lives can be effectively utilized."

"..."

No...not at all out of a sense of justice.

"The slaves in the slave ranch are, after all, human scum who can perform complex labor. They are more useful than livestock such as cattle and horses. Yes, I hope everyone can understand the existence of these people in this way - they are livestock. If you think in this way, I think everyone will understand, right?"

"Unless you kill them for meat or to make them work better, you wouldn't take the trouble to abuse or kill your precious livestock, right?"

"..."

It is indeed easier to understand this way. If we regard Hull, who is speaking now, as a devil, everything he says and his way of thinking become clear and easy to understand.

Not caring about the strange atmosphere at the scene, Hull continued to add.

"When livestock don't want to work, you whip them, right? But this whipping is not done with anger. Ultimately, it is to enrich our lives."

"..."

"It's the same with the scum in our slave ranch. I don't allow meaningless abuse or releasing stress through violence when angry. If someone does this, and the case is serious, I might consider making him a member of the slave ranch."

"!!!"

Almost all the people present shuddered at this moment.

We must honestly treat those scumbags as livestock and "care" for them!

--absolute!

"In our Kraken region, scum is equal to livestock, but we still have to call them 'slaves'."

"..."

Sure enough, even the devil still has a bottom line. In the end, those criminals must be given basic human rights and dignity as human beings.

"Otherwise there will be problems with the imperial law."

There is no such thing as mercy for the devil!

"In the Empire, defining people as slaves makes it easier to use them. Imperial law allows the existence of slaves but does not allow defining people as livestock. It's very strange to say that in the Empire, livestock have more human rights than slaves, but I hope everyone can understand. After all, this is the Empire, the world's leading superpower, a beacon that illuminates the entire free world."

"..."

What kind of black humor is this...why can this person say such things so calmly.

Many people don't even know whether this sentence is praising the empire or mocking something.

"If there are guests from other regions, please do not call these scums livestock, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Everyone should remember that they are just slaves, legal and legitimate slaves, slaves who help with farm work and wine making. This cannot be wrong."

There is absolutely no need to remind, no one will make a mistake.

"I'm really sorry. I talked a lot about slaves. Please just treat it as idle talk."

This is just a casual chat... As expected, if it is a demon, it can indeed talk about such a terrifying topic in a casual chat...

Again, if we think of Helheim as a demon in human skin, everyone will understand all his train of thought.

"Since we have to treat even scum kindly, as foster parents, I need you to raise children with responsibility and affection. If any reports of abuse or deliberate discrimination against these children reach me, I will deal with them severely..."

After Helheim's announcement on the treatment of slaves, in fact all punishments were abolished in the Kraken region.

Instead, a new set of more severe punishment measures will be introduced.

Just thinking about becoming slaves worse than livestock, no one dared to do anything excessive to the children at this moment.

"Regarding beer brewing, we will also adopt a trial-type mass production system in the future. After the first batch of beer is produced, we will conduct an evaluation. The first-place winner will be rewarded with 10 copper coins each, and the second-place winner will be rewarded with 5 copper coins each. If anyone wants to take advantage of this reward, they can go to Nandal to sign up as a brewer. Of course, they will be screened in advance, as this is a technical job."

"..."

Ah... Obviously, it is a very happy thing to receive the reward, but the people's minds are all blank.

I am still in the state of fear just now.

Only Cersei, the innocent and lively maid, raised her hand and shouted, "Yeah!"

"Also, regarding defense, there is only one guard, Rag, in the Kraken area right now. However, since we have the strongest defense wall of poverty in the Kraken area, no one will attack us in the short term.

After this year's harvest season is over, when everyone has surplus food and the territory has received the first batch of taxes, I will consider conscription. If you are confident in your skills, you can train at home in advance and prepare yourself."

"Guarding is a job that requires risking one's life, so the pay is naturally the best. I will give 10 large copper coins to reserve soldiers every month. If someone dies in the line of duty, I will pay 5 large copper coins to the survivors every month while I am still alive. If I continue to be promoted in the future, this pay will increase further. I hope everyone can sign up enthusiastically."

At this moment, there is only one thought in people's minds.

Who dares to invade the castle occupied by demons?

That end is probably worse than death...

"Any questions? If so, say them right here, in person."

"..."

There may be such a problem, but no one dares to raise it.

"If not, then thank you all for your hard work today. I declare this meeting over."

After saying this, Hull disappeared like a gust of wind.

Maybe we don’t even realize it.

From beginning to end, no ordinary citizen spoke.

They just listened to Hull's entire speech quietly and with fear.

Who dares to go against the devil...
