The proposal that Byron put forward let present all people a little to have doubts, particularly Hetty, she directly asked: „By market price 30% price purchase slaves? Moreover to issue the form of mercenary request? Some are this possibly people willing to accept? Let alone this lowered to not the normal price, perhaps the mercenary remuneration for services rendered must pull out from this Samseong-ri surface...... This does business at a loss regarding these mercenary completely the business.”
Facing this question, Byron lightly said one: „Therefore we must add on one additionally: Does not request slave and contract.”
Hetty and Rebecca look at each other in blank dismay, but Amber understood, this Half-Elf thief just wants to say anything, has not actually thought that is Gawain opens the mouth before her: „This, mercenary will plunder the refugee to act as the slave to sell for money.”
Amber somewhat surprisedly looked at Gawain one, as if has not thought that this Duke will understand unexpectedly this matter, but Knight Byron nodded when surprised: „Vigorous and healthy, has the complete slave contract procedure, to have the explicit family background serf or the slave laborer usually needs 20 to 30 to inlay the flowered small silver coin, or 77 silver plaque coins, but the maximum cost is actually their slave, because has the status to compile a register, must therefore from the regular channel purchase, besides purchasing slave's money, the tax collector, the local church and the slave market even vagabond rascals slave-owner and feudal lord compose ‚slave laborer association’ layer upon layer will also pull out in this, that is the several fold even several times of prices, but refugee...... The refugees do not need the cost, anybody will not have protected them, they do not have any status information, was missing or died will not arouse any interest.”
Here, Byron has stopped, as if to Hetty and Rebecca some time of ponder, then continued saying: „Normally, the aristocrats will not purchase not to have the slave of slave contract, because such slave not only does not have the family background safeguard, and will appear the aristocrat parsimonious and poor and pedantic also the personal status will be low, moreover this slave, once were massacred or seized by other slave-owner, will have no way to be compensated. But even if this, some people will still send out the purchase not to have request this of record/native place slave inexpensive is a default black custom, actually refers to is...... Refugees.”
Hetty is covering the chest, although she is in the aristocrats and common people walks near model very much, but she never has also contacted the dark fact of this most deep layer: „Also will really have this matter?”
„Not only has, but also has year after year, everywhere has, Madame,” the Knight Byron voice said low and deep, „in some immoral mercenary circles, this refugee is called ‚the money of long leg’, they will even treat as the paid information to circulate the rallying point sanctuary of refugee secretly, stares at the people who these are destitute and homeless like the shark and hyena, whom will only wait to probably purchase does not have record/native place slave usually massively to purchase them to close in inexpensive.”
Rebecca got hold of iron magic staff in hand subconsciously, the knuckle even because of making an effort, but some blanches, she as if inwardly said in a low voice: „mercenary...... I listen to their stories in the tavern, listening to them to exterminate the robber, kills the monster, explores the story that in the old castle and mystical place, I think that is the life of mercenary, is......”
„Sir Viscount, when you are in the tavern, mercenary in tavern was not mercenary,” Knight Byron deeply looked at Rebecca one, „was not these matters that all mercenary will be me to say a moment ago, these that you said also truly were the life of part of mercenary, but a little hand of mercenary was also doomed is unclean, nothing but did evil many issue.”
Afterward this middle-aged knight raised the head, looks to Gawain: „Sir, your meaning? About issue request......”
The Gawain faint smile looks at this knight, the opposite party these dark is equal the surface of all people to say, actually the subtext was very obvious, but he does not want to pierce this as if very much to have the past halfway knight: „I do not plan province sum of money.”
Hetty and Rebecca very much obviously relaxed.
„We are not short of money, the gold and silver enough entire territory in treasure house spends for a long time is very very long, but if with encouraging the evil way economized, the debt that in our soul must shoulder may not be easy to redeem in full,” Gawain said at a moderate pace, „defers to the normal flow, approaches the territory to post the bulletin and sends for reading out, goes to the aristocrats who and can make contact with the line to negotiate, rents carriages and horses arrangement dry rations, if purchases the serf, defers to the normal channel to buy, does not use the parsimonious wealth, I only have a request: Must guarantee the people who each will soon arrive at this lands understand a matter: No matter before them, has made anything, they must obey here law.”
Byron caresses the chest to lower the head: „This is their duties.”
Gawain nods: „You are good at having to do with this person in aspect, therefore this matter then plenary powers gives you, needs how much money to look for Hetty to draw, but must have the explicit account and draws the plan. Moreover, if you have the channel, had better be able inquire the rallying point of refugees.”
Because the capital construction work straightens out, manpower also had a remainder, the coined money work of territory the small scale has launched, Gawain few days ago designed and life person casting the initial several currencies, and these currencies deliver to close to Tanzan Town as well as several other far cities, has carried on the notarization in the merchant and aristocrat there, now these currencies have been able to use.
After Byron and the others left, in the tent only remaining Gawain and Amber, the latter has sized up Gawain with the strange look up and down, is not comfortable the whole body that Gawain makes: „What do you look at?”
„Makes these only recognize money mercenary to catch the refugee to deliver, obviously sends for compared with you are the propaganda searches, moreover the arrangement carriages and horses dry rations must reduce effort to economize convenient, I also think that you definitely will choose a more actual plan you always not to say are oneself a pragmaticist?”
„I truly am a pragmaticist, but I am not a villain, what way these mercenary with will arrest the refugee to act as the slave, after I use , the molar thinks that can imagine, how many people will have to be killed in this process at the scene? Will how many people break up a family? Some how many people in these mercenary crude ‚does transportation’ in process die of the hunger and disease? Even if I in the request emphasized desirably must guarantee ‚slave’ health, but you thought how many mercenary has to listen really? But perhaps these matters are not I personally are done, but is actually I urges, this is contrary to my conduct criterion.”
„But you know that even if you do not do, there are others to do, the parsimonious farm operator and black mine will look for mercenary to purchase not to have record/native place slave every year, the quantity that they purchase, enough fills up your this young camp several times.”
„Therefore I prepare to destroy this present situation, constructs the new order, not only my conduct must obey these criteria, on each lands that in I establish, must obey these criteria, no matter they are the slave-owners, mercenary, the vagabond rascal, the robbers and bandits profiteer, is any hereditary nobility profession powerhouse, must so. I do not do evil they not to permit.”
Amber is opening the mouth, looks at Gawain startled, long time opens the mouth: „Your tone is very big...... But will you so be why dedicated in protecting the weak one? Really because of these so-called ‚classical aristocrat moral excellence’ or ‚knight spirit’?”
„No, this is only the basic morals.”
Amber probably intentionally spiteful same must pick up a problem: „Your this is simply naive, can your one person change these many? Must know that in this world, the law of the jungle is the custom, the powerhouse dominates in the weak one himself is the morals.”
Gawain looks at Amber, suddenly could not bear smile: „Right, the law of the jungle, this truly is the custom of this world, even is the custom of nature, the powerhouse should formulate the rule, but share that the weak one only then obeys.”
Amber is blinking the eye: „You......”
The Gawain's smiling face may not restrain: „Therefore my this wasn't started to formulate the rule?”
Amber: „...... Also can operate like this!?”
But at the same time, in has been far away from Cecil territory, to hoist the sails to navigate in the Clearwater River surface white oak number, Veronica in own pray room.
She was still a simple white nun clothing/taking, the pale golden long hair threw over mild-mannered after the brain, did not bring luxuriously to decorate, she knelt before the God of Holy Light idol, both hands overlap placed the chest, was imitating in the Saint emblem two Holy Light overlapping images, but the light element of full then circled to dance in the air in her side, as if translucent cherubs revolve her generally, was surrounding and protecting this reverent incomparable Holy Light follower.
She prayed devotionally, making brilliance cover in that appearance gradually fuzzily, is unable with the naked eye resolution appearance God of Holy Light statue on, after having finished a praying word, she opens the eye, before looking at the statue, thick candle that burnt.
The flame of that thick candle jumped several, suddenly turned into the pure white from the orange yellow, the flame also all of a sudden expanded several times, turned into one bunch of pure brilliance, this brilliance vibration contraction, has formed an image of old man gradually.
The old men sit on a chair, seems, although has the dignity, but actually obvious old weak, if there is any God of Holy Light follower here, can perhaps first recognize this is at present the Holy Light Church highest ruler, Pope Saint Ivan III.
Veronica slightly dangling head: „Pope Your Excellency.”
Has broadcast Pope slightly some sounds of distortion from the brilliance: „Child who Holy Light cares, you already return trip?”
„Yes, I left Cecil territory, now the fleet should soon approach the Dorgen River river mouth.”
„Are this line of all smooth? The enemy of that Gawain Cecil whether my Lord?”
Veronica has hesitated for two seconds, voice replied gently: „All smooth, Gawain Cecil firmly is 700 years ago that legend, but does not steal the heroic body, to muddle through life ignobly the world the wicked soul, under he in Holy Light shines the style of speaking to be free, and is a moral noble and pure person.”
„, Then is so good. I heard main sound in recent years repeatedly, he wants me the Taoism and common people of Holy Light, but Gawain Cecil recovers in this time, is really one matter that made one care about, but you confirmed now he was not the main enemy, I felt relieved.”
The Veronica both hands overlap, deeply lowers the head: „My main correct path decides however will spread over the entire world.”
The candle is burning through gradually, the Divine Spell strength also arrived at the end, broadcasts the sound that from the brilliance becomes gets down weakly: „Comes back as soon as possible, do not delay on the road, to guard the filthy common people to affect your pure Holy Light, returns to Holy Light Cathedral......”
The brilliance vanished, some candle remaining pale ashes, the Pope aura also has only been far away from this place.
Veronica waited for several seconds, this slowly stands, calmly is gazing at the God of Holy Light idol.
She opens the mouth in a soft voice, as if thought aloud:
„That is actually an irreligious person, right?”
„Yes, not only has not believed that but also is conflicting the say/way of Holy Light.”
„He as if in contradiction god, but non- Holy Light......”
„In brief is not the Holy Light servant, is not the dark lackey.”
„Very interesting......”
„Is very interesting.”
