Lord of terror

Mikael panicked because he was restricted from leaving.

The woman stood up, and she smiled at him: "Please don't be afraid, I am here to teach you under the guidance of God. Please believe in God."

believe in god...

Mikael took a step forward and walked into the lawn. After him, three people came one after another, a teenager, a middle-aged woman, and a male slave who appeared to have gray hair.

"Okay, our people are all here. Looking at you, it reminds me of me in the past. My name is Hilma, and I used to be a slave. Now, I am in Monroe, and I have regained my human life."

Mikael gasped, and the others also exclaimed. The middle-aged woman even shouted out: "How is that possible?! You look like a lady!" Startled by the impulse, "Oh, of course, there are also..."

"I'm not a high-level slave. I'm not the kind that was raised to be a playmate for a young lady, a lover for a young master, or to be given away as a gift." Hilma raised her head so that they could see her face, "I'm not There is no outstanding appearance, you should be able to see it."

Her face is actually not smooth, there are many small scars on her face, and one eyebrow is even broken because of the scar.

She stretched out her hand, the knuckles of her fingers were protruding, the skin on the back of her hand was like an old tree vine, the palm was turned over, and there were several huge scars on the palm.This is a pair of long-term high-intensity hands.

Hilma stood up, took off her long skirt and top, and horrible scars overlapped her body.

Mikael and the boy were not shy. As slaves in the country, men and women had little clothes to wear and were burdened with labor of almost the same intensity.If a male slave dared to do anything to a female slave without permission, he would be whipped.

The middle-aged women and older men bowed their heads in an instant. The women kept praying, and Mikael heard her praying for Starfire and Ms. Libra.

Hilma got dressed and sat back again: "We all have a painful past." Her face began to show pain, but even in pain, she was still calm, "We are all the same person."

"But you don't suffer anymore." The middle-aged woman raised her head, and there was deep longing in her eyes, "As long as I believe in the fire of a single spark, can I also be freed from the pain? Or... at least in the Happiness after death? You..."

Her courage was quickly exhausted in the first two sentences, and soon she began to speak intermittently, and she even hid the last sentence and dared not ask.

"God's grace is limited." Hilma said, "You need to fight for it yourself."

"Of course! God tells me to do anything! I will do it!" The teenager and the middle-aged woman shouted together, and the middle-aged woman even rushed forward, intending to grab Hilma.

Hilma opened her arms calmly, hugged the middle-aged woman in her arms, patted her shoulder lightly, and rubbed her back comfortingly.

Mikael actually felt a kind of...jealousy. This woman who just met is now comforting the woman who is older than her just like a mother.

The middle-aged woman finally came out of Hilma's arms with a blushing face, and the madness of giving everything for God that she had shouted just now faded a little.

"So... what God has to do now is let me teach you a lesson. Let's introduce each other."

After Mikael opened his eyes again, he felt... the whole world was brighter.He just made four new friends and had a hearty cry.

In the first class, they are told that the world is not equal.This is something he has known for a long time, but he has never seen it from the angle Mr. Hilma said.I never thought that this inequality is likely to end in their generation.

Of course, the future world will still not be completely equal. After all, everyone is born with a different face, but if through hard work and "for yourself" work, you can eat enough and clothe yourself warmly, that's enough.

Without knowing it, they talked about their own lives. Mikael once thought that he should live like that, and he was used to it.But when he told the story, he still couldn't help crying like everyone else.It turned out that he wasn't used to that, he didn't want to be beaten, humiliated in a corner, he didn't want to be so hungry that his stomach ached, he didn't want to shiver holding moldy hay in the snow and ice, and every joint ached from the cold.

He's in pain, but before yesterday, he had nowhere to confide in...

Mikael is looking forward to the coming of night again. Of course, they agreed that they can’t just worry about the night and give up everything during the day. They need to live. Only the living can dream and fulfill the tasks that God entrusted to them. Work, if they die, then everything will stop at a dream.

Also, he had to find a way to complete the first task - to develop a companion, not to develop indiscriminately, at least not to be an evil person, this is the minimum standard.

And if they successfully develop companions, they will be able to see the relatively equal world that has been established now through Hilma's eyes.

"...Monrophy." Mikael muttered, he had heard that those machines were bought from Monrophy, and the engineers invited from Monrophy dared to point at Baron Guise's nose and curse.There is also the crack in the Baronship of Guise, which was also wiped out by the creatures from Monroe. They have a very interesting name, Geji Geji.

Mikael walked out of the shack, and Hilma still had something wrong.She said God would not bless them again until they did something, but no.He grew stronger, and even ate less and was less hungry.God has always protected him...

If he asked God face to face, God (Kuntz) would answer him: "It's not asylum, I'm just afraid that you will starve to death. After all, starvation is a major cause of death for slaves and workers."

These seeds are rare to be selected, and they can be regarded as panning for gold from the sand. They will be the backbone of the future, and they can even become a party.It would be too tragic if he died halfway because of starvation.However, only they have this special treatment, and when the situation improves slightly, this gift will be returned with interest.

The training of workers is progressing slowly, which is a major event, but it is only one of the countless major events in Monroe.Fighting demons and breaking fissures continued. Although Meng Luofei's territorial expansion had stopped, the training and transformation of personnel had not stopped, and the advancement of various magic technology research results had not stopped.

Meng Luofei has researched on the magic of trains and airplanes, and prototypes have come out, but because of the space gate, these researches have not been put into use.Official scientists believe that the expansion of space gate technology is the mainstream, and it is true that apart from the high energy consumption of space gates, all aspects of the space gate are heavy on trains and planes.

However, the erection of the space gate needs to follow the invisible line restriction, and it actually follows the line of the spiritual world.But the magic net will make the barrier between the two worlds thicker, and the consciousness of the gods will not be able to descend to the material world, and the space gate is likely to disappear completely in the future.

So, trains and planes can go on.

Mobile phones, computers, Internet and WIFI will have to wait for a few more years, because there are more magic factors in the support, and the interference to the signal is stronger.However, the hand crank phone is barely usable.

The newcomers in Meng Luofei had jobs, and all the strong men and women were assigned to repair the railway.This is a hard job, but no matter how hard it is, it is much happier than the lives of many people in the past. After all, they can eat and drink enough.

Because they are all novices, the railways try to find wide and flat areas, and would rather make more detours.

And between the main cities of Monroe and Selfie, tall train workshops have been established.

Hilma and several colleagues walked at the gate of the No. [-] Railway Company in the dark. Here, some workshops were still brightly lit.In fact, even the doorway where they were located was brightly illuminated by street lamps.

"Hello, everyone. I'm the tour guide." A man in a blue overalls came out of the factory, with a pair of horse ears on his head. He was an orc.

"Hello." Hilma greeted each other, but did not introduce each other.Next, each of them got a listing and followed the horse orc into the factory.

Mikael and others are looking at this magical place through Hilma's eyes, this...Monrophy.

Just now they saw the tidy streets. It was so late, but the street lights were bright, and there were barbecue vendors fanning the meat on the barbecue stalls. Many people were sitting on the side of the road eating meat.Hilma told them that those people were not nobles, they were the most common workers with the largest number.

Hilma even went to ask everyone about their jobs, and Mikael even heard that two of them were bakery workers.Hilma said that there is a difference between making pastries and making biscuits, but Mikael thinks the difference should not be that great.

At a stall selling another kind of food, they met a laundry worker. Anna (a middle-aged woman) didn’t understand why the worker was able to stay awake at this time and still have the energy and money to eat expensive food.

Those little goblins were actually sitting in this place with humans and orcs, drinking ale, and they were miners.This time it was Old Mike who asked the question—could it be because the goblins consume less and thus save more money?

"Isn't there a chimney sweep here?" asked little Benny, who was a chimney sweep boy.But he was too old to do this job. The last time he got stuck in the chimney upside down and was almost suffocated to death.

"Monrophe doesn't need a fireplace. We have heating." Hilma returned to her own home and showed them the heating. "We have central heating here."

"Then, what can I do?" Little Benny panicked, thinking that he had become a useless person.

"When Meng Luofei's children were your age, they were still in school. Next time, I will take you to the school and the orphanage, don't be afraid, I know what the orphanage is like outside. But Meng Luofei is here It’s different from the outside world, you have to believe in God.”

"School..." Xiao Benni showed a trace of longing, even though he didn't know where it was at all.

Then they got on a cart that didn't need to be pulled by a beast, and came to the factory.

They stayed here for the rest of the night, watching the workers here, how they worked and how they rested.

When they worked for a certain period of time, it was the team leader who came and called them, and they were "forced" to change shifts.One worker who looked sleepy was even called out and forbidden to work overtime at night.Instead, the workers begged hard and wanted to work overtime, but they were scolded by the team leader and driven off to sleep.

"There are overtime pay and subsidies for overtime work. Of course, there are also honor points. How much is the overtime pay? Hmm... the kind of wide and thick steak that I saw just now, you can buy it for 30 yuan. After all, the people who work here They are all skilled workers, and their wages are higher than those of ordinary workers."

Slogans are posted on the walls of the factory, and the most basic regulations are written on them.

Hilma read them line by line, including the need to hold onto the railing when going up and down the stairs: "...it might be annoying, but it's for everyone's safety."

"Safety? Workers'?"

"Correct."

Mikael couldn't help laughing, he thought this word was so beautiful, even if he really didn't understand some rules, he would definitely abide by them, after all, it was to ensure his own safety.

"I found that there is no need for them to exist here." Mikael, who was working today, suddenly heard Baron Guise's voice.

The entire biscuit production line does not require much labor.First of all, there are multiple feed ports, which need to put in a certain amount of material at regular intervals.Then there is the exit of the large oven, and the population needs to adjust the position of the biscuits.Next they will go through the jam machine, the biscuits on the upper conveyor belt will be filled with jam, and then squeezed together with the biscuits on the lower conveyor belt. (Slaves are strictly prohibited from approaching the jam machine)

The squeezed biscuits need manual labor, and they have to pick out some biscuits that were accidentally crushed.Originally, there should be a group of packaging machines behind this place to wrap the biscuits in oiled paper, but Baron Guise replaced the machines with manual labor.The slaves crowded around, wrapping biscuits with their hands.

The overseer strictly monitors these slaves, if they dare to steal?He will be whipped and hung in front of the slave's hut. If he is still alive after three days, he will be sent back to the farm.

Today, Baron Guise found that one slave wrapped the biscuits much faster than the others. He counted, and he wrapped seven pieces before the second person wrapped the biscuits.

Even Baron Guise felt that if it wasn't for his arm being unable to move, then he could wrap it faster.

"You did a good job, slave." Baron Guise nodded to Mikael, "Pull the two idiots around him away." He tilted his head and said to his eldest son-in-law, "You are a supervisor, But didn't you find anything?"

The smile on the eldest son-in-law's face is silly and stupid.

"My lord!" Mikael suddenly called to stop Baron Guise. Of course he knew that this nobleman had completely forgotten about the boy from many years ago. Slave to the oven, but that's okay, and Mikael's not trying to catch up with him.

But as a slave, his words immediately drew the overseer's whip, and Baron Guise didn't look back at all.

"I can make you more money!" he yelled.

Sure enough, the second whip was not pulled down, and Baron Guise stopped the overseer: "You don't have much time to talk, slave."

"I can pack the biscuits in less time with fewer people, my lord. But I need the benefits."

The eldest son-in-law shouted: "How dare you?!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to give me ten silver pieces out of it, when you earn one more gold piece a day?"

"Emmm..." Baron Guise was silent for a while, as if caught in some incomprehensible problem, finally, he said, "You are my slave, why should I give you ten silver coins?"

"The saved people, you can let them go back to the farm, my lord, this will allow you to earn more and more."

"But I still don't understand why I gave you ten silver coins?" Baron Guise was not being sarcastic, but he really didn't understand, just like he didn't understand how hot a hundred degrees is.

For Baron Guise, this question is equivalent to: the material is his, the machine is his, and the biscuits made by the machine are of course his.

"Why should I give my resourcefulness if I give my resourcefulness and get the same as if I had remained the same?"

"Ah..." Baron Guise laughed, "This is really interesting, hahahaha, how can a slave say such a thing? Do you think you are offering resourcefulness? Then, as a slave, if I Order you, will you violate my order?" His tone was like a child who has encountered something new.

Mikael wanted to fight for better conditions for himself, and the situation of Meng Luofei moved his heart. There, he saw another way of getting along with others.Instead of using whips and long swords, there is no harm to each other, and everyone lives in a peaceful world.This made him think that he could also obtain such mutual benefits with Baron Guise.

When Baron Guise asked "Why should I give you ten silver coins", he already realized that he was wrong.But everything has already started, he must persevere, otherwise he will only end up in death.

"I can……"

"Baron Guise, can you sell this slave to me?" A voice overwhelmed Mikael's voice. It was the engineer from Monroe - not the one who left first, but the one who was invited again. "If you refuse, then I will refuse to repair the machine for you, and believe me, after two consecutive engineers refuse to serve you, there will never be a third one.

Your machine has been used with high intensity and high load for one and a half years. Without professional maintenance, do you think it can survive the next one and a half years? "

Baron Guise's happy expression just now turned dark, and he glanced at his eldest son-in-law - this guy has been studying how to make a machine, but... looking at him standing with his head shrunk behind the guards, Baron Guise I knew this guy didn't have any results.

He felt that his aristocratic dignity had been severely hit, and the idea of ​​grabbing this engineer Monroe and forcing him to sign a master-servant contract, and let him serve him, also flashed in his mind.For a moment he mustered up his courage, but the next moment, his courage was exhausted...

Although he is a decent nobleman (rich countryman), he still knows how strong Meng Luofei is.Although this is just a small engineer, he still shouldn't provoke this behemoth.

Mikael's eyes lit up, is he going to be taken to Monroe? !In such a place, even a slave can live a peaceful life, right?

"My new master, can you buy another person?" That was the new believer he had developed, and he looked at the thin and small Eldin.It was he who made Aldin believe in the spark, and he could not abandon Eldin, just as the spark never abandoned him.

It doesn't matter to the engineer, it's fine to buy one or two.He knew that in Tuoxing, he couldn't just meddle in someone's business because he was pitiful. After all, his third rank wasn't given in vain.But he just heard that the slave was unlucky to stand up and fight in order to change the lives of himself and other slaves.

This kind of person, the engineer thinks can be saved.

Mikael's "insight" made him feel a little playful: "If I only buy one, what will you do?"

Mikael was stunned for a moment, and he gritted his teeth: "Please, please buy him."

The engineer put away his smile and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will buy you all." This kind of person is worthy of admiration.

Baron Guise was a little dissatisfied, but seeing the engineer's "kind" smile, he could only swallow all his dissatisfaction.

"Elding, I'm going to Monrofi!" Mikael grabbed Eldine, his eyes sparkling.There... is the land of the gods!

When Baron Guise was dawdling through the formalities for the transfer of slaves, Mikael asked him: "Do you know the fire of a single spark?"

"Can start a prairie fire? Brother, what are you wearing?"

"Huh? No, I mean...Spark, that's the name of a great god."

The engineer raised his eyebrows: "I've never heard of it. The main god of our Monroe is the Lord of the Sun, but we Monroe believe in freedom. You can believe in anything else if you want."

"Why not? Didn't Meng Luofei follow the will of the spark and establish it?"

"I'm going to get angry when you say that! Which wicked person is talking nonsense?" The engineer raised his eyebrows even higher. Even though he is a player, he also knows that faith is the lifeblood of gods. Are you robbing the faith of the Sun Lord!?"

The engineer rolled up his sleeves, and now he had to take the slave back.Not only did he want to bring them back, he had to tell the others about it, the Sun Lord!

The author has something to say: Engineer: [○?｀Д??○] Just do it! ! !
