Manor, slave camp.

"It's changed, it's changed." A man came hurriedly and shouted to the person in charge of the manor.

Zhu Kuiyin, the head of the manor, frowned at the noisy person and asked, "What changed?"

"We can only collect resources such as stone and wood before tonight." The person who came, Perico, quickly explained to Zhu Quinn.

He knew that after learning that a team was buying these stone and wood resources at a high price, Zhu Kuiyin became interested, so he would definitely be interested in this matter.

"Tonight?" Zhu Kuiyin couldn't help but frowned.

As the person in charge of the manor, he managed the slaves and naturally arranged their work. The profits generated by the slaves would also pass through his hands. It can be said that the more value the slaves created, the higher the profits he could get. Therefore, Zhu Kuiyin always forced the slaves to work and pocketed the money, and he accumulated a lot of wealth for this.

But money! You can never have too much.

However, he has always valued stability. If he wants to use slaves to make money, he has to do it within a reasonable range, and the situation must be under his control.

This time, he originally planned

...

...

There have always been unusual movements, but when it comes to Hope Village, they seem to be particularly strong.

Faced with such unusual changes, he did not dare to act rashly.

But now their plans have changed and he can't wait to assess the situation.

"Yes, I heard that it was an order from the lord that people from Hope Village are not allowed to stay too long, so they will completely withdraw from Hope Village tonight." Perico gave an affirmative answer.

When Zhu Kuin heard this, he instantly felt bad.

What this means is that if he misses today, he will have no chance to make money.

How could a miser tolerate this?

I can't stand it! Then do it!

"Go organize the slaves, I want to take them out." Zhu Quinn said directly.

“Don’t we have to wait for some residents to come back and see how Hope Village is collecting resources?” Perico said subconsciously. Although the person in charge he knew loved money, he was also careful in his work, which allowed him to manage the entire estate in an orderly manner.

"No need. Didn't someone sell the unused resources before? And they got paid for it." Zhu Quinn said directly, "And judging by the reputation of Hope Village, they won't ruin their reputation for such a small profit."

"Okay! I'll go right away." Perico said quickly.

He also wanted these slaves to collect! Because every time Zhu Kuin got a benefit, he would share it with them, so he was naturally diligent.

At this time, the slaves working in the fields were a little absent-minded.

What Finn said yesterday left a deep impression in their hearts. The passage to freedom was right in front of them, how could they not care!

Because I care, every minute and every second I spend now feels like torture.

"Frieda, what did Finn say?" A slave couldn't help but come closer to Frieda.

After all, they all knew that Frieda and Finn had a good relationship, so they might know if there was any additional news.

Facing many nervous looks, Frieda shook her head and said, "Finn didn't tell me anything. Just wait as he said."

"Yeah." The others could only reply disappointedly.

Just when they were feeling uneasy, they suddenly heard a call to action.

"Assemble! Everyone assemble!" Perico started shouting loudly after arriving at the scene.

gather?

After making sure that what they heard was correct, a group of slaves immediately dropped the tools in their hands and ran towards the person who spoke with some joyful steps.

Perico was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

Was it an illusion? Why did he feel that this group of slaves were so excited today?

When you ask them to gather together on weekdays, they all look very nervous?

Ideas are fleeting.

After watching them line up, Perico continued, "Get ready. We are leaving the territory today to collect wood and stone. Please prepare your tools. Outside the territory, you are the only ones who can protect your lives."

"Is everyone going?" one of the slaves couldn't help but ask.

After all, not all slaves would go on missions on weekdays.

Perico thought that Zhu Quinn had not given any additional instructions, so he said directly: "Let's all go!"

Collecting wood and stone within the territory is relatively less dangerous.

The more people there are, the more things can be collected.

"Yes!" When everyone spoke, their voices were a little higher than usual.

Finally! I can finally go out!

And, everyone can go out.

Perico: “…”

——Something’s wrong. Something’s really wrong.

Just as Perico was about to think deeply, Zhu Quinn came over after seeing the crowd gathering and said, "Follow me!"

The next moment, Zhu Quin took the lead, and Perico and the slaves followed closely behind.

When they appeared on the block of Barnes Village, Finn, who had been waiting for them, couldn't help but get excited.

Here we come!

He glanced at the group of slaves and confirmed that all of them had gone out. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, as this meant he wouldn't have to come back.

Then, he pretended to appear in front of Zhu Quinn and the others casually.

When the slaves saw him, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, do you need me to call some professionals for you?" Finn asked.

Zhu Quinn was not surprised to see it was Finn. This guy was hanging around them all day and had a good relationship with one of his slaves. How could he not know about it? He was just too lazy to pay attention.

However, despite his young age, he is very methodical in handling trivial matters, so he would occasionally be assigned some small tasks to do.

When he occasionally brought slaves with him, they would be accompanied by hired mercenaries who ran errands for him.

After all, he had to take care of so many slaves.

Fortunately, hiring a few professionals is enough.

"Just call two for me this time." Zhu Kuiyin said directly.

"Okay." Finn said, and instantly headed towards the mercenary center.

After a while, he brought back two mercenaries.

Seeing that they were the usual cooperative faces, Zhu Quinn didn't say much, but just asked them to follow the team.

In this way, a group of people walked to the city gate in a mighty manner.

"Lord Zhu Quinn, are you going out on a mission?" Seeing Zhu Quinn, Justin, one of the guards, spoke enthusiastically.

He was under a lot of pressure guarding the city gate today. When he saw the familiar people and the team, he was really relieved. At least there would be no problems with this team.

"Well, let's go out and collect some wood and stone. There's nothing to do at the manor." Zhu Kuiyin said simply, and then asked for information, "Are there many residents going out to do tasks today?"

"A lot. Thousands of people have gone out one after another." Justin couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There was a long line of people and his hands were sore from registering them.

"Are there many people coming back?" Zhu Kuiyin continued to ask.

"There are still quite a few. There should be teams among those who came back. They came back to sell things and then went out." Justin said.

He can now feel a little more relaxed because people are coming back one after another.

Going in and out makes him feel much more relaxed than just going out without coming in.

After getting the answer he wanted from Justin, Zhu Quinn felt relieved and the last bit of worry disappeared.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhu Kuiyin simply registered the names of the four of them and went straight out of the city gate.

As for the slaves, they were not eligible to register at all.

Soon, a group of several hundred people left the village of Barnes, and then Zhu Quinn took them directly to the stone mountain nearby.

There is a stone mountain near the village of Banes, which is rich in resources. All the stones for the territory come from here.

The prosperity of Barnes Village is closely related to this stone mountain!

Soon after they left the city gate, Finn also appeared.

"What are you doing out there?"

"I went with Lord Zhu Quinn to collect wood. I used to go out with them often before." Finn replied quickly.

Justin took a look at him and indeed felt that he looked a little familiar.

After taking 50 silver coins from him, Justin let him go.

After Finn went out, the next person followed immediately.

"I am a resident of Hope Village." The man said, revealing his identity.

"Yes." Justin nodded seriously and let the other party go out.

The two men went out one after another. For some reason, Justin looked at them again.

He always felt a little strange.

After watching the two people come out, Finn followed Zhu Quinn and the others, while the professionals from Hope Village went in another direction. Justin then silently withdrew his gaze.

Maybe it was just his illusion!

But...the professional from Hope Village actually dared to leave alone???
