Chapter 206 Veteran york

Comilla, Ghostblade Port.

Under the dim lights, the veteran York bid farewell to a co-worker who had just returned from the quarry and returned to his own house, a room of about 30 to 40 square meters built from stone.

York is a veteran who used to be an old bachelor living in Hanhaibao—the man is almost forty in his forties, what is it not?

几个月 A few months ago, when the orcs invaded, he and some soldiers in Hanhai Fort were summoned by Governor Ozer to fight the orcs from the east. He did not know whether the war was won or not, because not long before the battle began, he was stunned with a hammer on his head.

He thought he would die, but he didn't. When he woke up, he was already in the orc's prisoner of war camp.

After staying in the orc's prisoner of war camp for almost half a month, York and other surviving populations captured by the orcs were sold to a half-orc merchant as slaves, and were soon loaded The ship was ready to be shipped to the western Principality of Florence and beyond.

At that time, York felt grey for the rest of his life. He had seen the tragic life of slaves without freedom and human rights. He felt that if he had to live like this for the rest of his life, it would be a death.

I stayed on the ship for a week or two, and the slave ship met the pirates. Then, he was sold to Ghostblade Port.When he arrived in Comilla, he was even more desperate. What good fruit can be eaten when sold into this desolate land?

Later, when he was assigned to the quarry as a worker, he was desperate. If slaves are also distinguished by their status, then their status as hard labor in a quarry is almost the lowest and worthless. Doing the hardest work, being beaten by the whip of an overseer, not treating people as someone, he died of overwork for a few years ... he almost all foresaw his miserable fate.

But things seem a little different later.

He first had a house to live in, although according to Registrar Tommy, the house was rented to him and he needed to pay the rent; secondly, the house rent could be paid in advance for the salary of the work. Later, he became even more differentiated when he knew that without paying extra money, as long as he worked in Comilla for one year and was able to obtain his free status.

More importantly, he didn't seem to be treated by any slaves. No one used his whip to pull him while he was working. After the end of work every night, he could probably go to the newly opened tavern in Ghost Knife. On a cup. Even when there was a weekly break, when there were ships in the port, the temporary part-time wages obtained when going up to work as porters fell into their own pockets.

Apart from these days, apart from the title of a slave on your head, you can only cancel it after working for a year, isn't it just a free man?

Twenty months ago, he was looking forward to waiting for a year to recover his freedom, and was able to board a boat and return to the mainland. Now he doesn't think so. He felt that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with staying here. Despite the hard work at the quarry, the salary was not low. After paying the rent of the house, buying the necessary food and living soldiers, there were still many left. Every day, I go to drink a small glass of ale, especially the special Komerya, which is delicious on earth, and the best life is better than when he was a soldier.

What's more, there is another person worthy of his stay here.

Pushing the room away, looking at the freshly baked bread with the temperature left on the table, and the broth still steaming next to him, he remembered living two not far away, separated by two The woman in the room with the child.

After I ate dinner, it was a bit boring to stay alone in the room. He looked at the empty basket and pottery bowl, and thought of the woman again.With a movement in his heart, York stood up, took the basket and the pottery bowl, pushed open the door, took three steps and two steps to the other bluestone-built house, and knocked on the wooden door.

The door was opened, and a little girl showed her lovely head.

York tried to make a kind expression: "Little Nitt, what about your mother Anthea?"

Xiao Xiaonet opened the door completely and said:

"My mother said that a new batch of cloths has arrived in the textile factory today, and they need to work overtime to make clothes, and there is a great demand in clothing stores."

哦 "Oh oh ..." York was a little lost and said, "Then ... thank you for the food your mom brought me. It's delicious."

He said, he scratched his head, reluctantly, but did not want to leave but had to leave.

The little girl smiled slyly and said, "Uncle York, my mother should be back soon. Why not wait here for a while?"

Yoke stopped immediately, and said, ‘What ’s wrong with this’, as soon as he turned around, he entered the room.

Uh ...约克 While York is waiting for someone who misses it ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Tommy and the old Falao are in the lobby of Ghostblade Harbor to exchange information on the recent development of Orineldo and Ghostblade Harbor.

It's just that this exchange is not very ... peaceful.

Tommy put his hands on his chin, and said to Faulau, who was sitting in front of him seriously, "The construction of Ghostblade Port is at a critical juncture, and we have some resources to transform all the houses into stone and wood structures. Yes, the workers in the quarry need to pay salaries, and the newly-established garment factory also needs to buy more textile machines and wool. At the same time, we plan to further build a jam making factory. We also need to put the moon on the 6th The crops produced in the farmland cultivated around the wells become truly edible food, which means that the bakery is also indispensable, and these require further resources to support them. Faro, you have given too few resources. Not enough! "

Fal'o shook his head and said, "Two thousand gold coins are almost at their limit. Although the Comilia produced this time has a good sales volume, and we also exported some fruits using fresh-keeping technology, the funds returned to the basket need to be further Supporting the expansion of Moonwell, whether it is reclaiming farmland or planting in orchards, Moonwell's help is indispensable. Dane also issued an order before leaving to request a certain amount of resources to be stored in order to wait for him to return to all Orinel buildings Rebuild and upgrade as early as possible, I can't give you more. "

The two of them are striving for the development needs and resource allocation of Ghostblade Port and Orinite. (To be continued.)
