[Chapter 58 Slavery is a Bad Civilization]

The same way as the water pump and water purification equipment were brought here, the armored vehicles can be brought here in the same way, just a few more trips. Laura thought it was nothing, the question was how could she get this level of arms?

After experiencing some things, she really took over all the industries of the Crawford family, but after all, she had never been involved in these things, and she didn’t know how much energy she could mobilize, which required her to slowly explore. Before everything was clear, she thought it was better not to talk about this matter first, what if she said it but didn’t do it, how embarrassing!

Fording had already started to get busy, he didn’t rush to take off the armor of these people, but put everyone on the warhorse.

Put a body on each horse, then Fording tried to lead the warhorse back to Azeroth, and after confirming that it could be brought over, he tied the warhorse there, and then came back to lead the remaining warhorses carrying the bodies over, preparing to deal with the bodies there – bury the bodies, and sell the armor, weapons on the body, and valuable items on the body in Azeroth.

Will originally wanted to give a set to his future father-in-law, but then he thought that the owner of the armor had just been killed, and the armor didn’t seem very auspicious. Even if he wanted to give the armor to the Governor, it would be better to wait for a while and let Fording bring a brand new set of armor from his world.

In a blink of an eye, several corpses, various equipment on their bodies, and several top-level war horses were all dealt with cleanly. Now even if the Forrest family sent people to turn Winter Village upside down, he would not be able to find any evidence and use it to cause trouble for Winter Village and David.

“But, do those guys really care about any evidence?” After making sure that there were no enemies hiding around, Peggy, who had witnessed how shameless the other party was, felt that the Forrest family would not care about these things at all and would just find another excuse.

“They are the top noble family in Iron Tree Castle, so this kind of superficial work must be done well.” David smiled: “Besides, if they really go too far, I actually have a way to deal with it.”

“Oh? What method? Can you tell us?” Although he is confident in the current strength of Winter Village, David’s intention should not be to resist those noble families by force. Will is very curious to know what other means David can use?

“Go to the capital of Tilan and show loyalty to the current king.”

“What kind of method is this?”

Everyone was confused. Only Fording and Laura understood what David meant: let Winter Village become the personal territory of His Majesty the King. In that case, whoever dares to attack Winter Village will be equivalent to declaring war on His Majesty the King himself.

Of course, it is not an easy thing to do this. Even if David goes to ask for an audience as a pioneer who has successfully opened up a new territory, there is a possibility that he will not be able to see His Majesty the King.

“However, it should not be necessary to use this method.” David will not easily go to show his loyalty to King Tilan. He hopes to maintain his current free life with great autonomy.

“Actually, there is something I have been wanting to ask…” Mark, who had not spoken much today, suddenly interrupted, but swallowed his words halfway through: “Forget it, I will talk to you about this matter alone when I have time.”

David nodded, without asking what Mark wanted to ask. He looked back at the people around him, and finally clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention to himself: “Okay, no matter what tricks that Sean Forrester has, we have to live our own lives now.”

The body and various evidence were taken to Azeroth by Fording, and there was no trace left here. As for the bloodstains on the ground? Just take a shovel and turn the ground a few times and you can’t see them.

After completing the work of destroying the body and the traces in the shortest time, everyone went their separate ways to do their own things… Although it seemed so on the surface, David noticed that Peggy and Steve were intentionally or unintentionally circling around the periphery of the village, obviously on guard.

As for Sharon, maybe Peggy had said something to this daughter before, she quickly returned to normal, and now she was sitting on the long table writing and drawing something.

After replenishing food and water, Fording left Winter Village again. This time he had six excellent war horses, and he might reach the West Wilderness earlier than expected.

Mark continued his daily work: checking the farmland, or harvesting the farmland. He tried to plant several crops, and some of them were mature and ready to be harvested. This result not only proved that Winter Village could grow more crops, but also meant that their food types would become richer in the coming days. Squirtle followed Mark around as usual

. If he didn’t want to go shopping, he would go to the Winter River to swim, or simply bask in the sun somewhere in the village.

Will returned to Royal Port, probably to find Elizabeth.

But to David’s surprise, Will came back soon, and there were several blindfolded people behind him holding Will’s shoulders and following him forward.

“Success.” He

was originally listening to Laura telling about her adventure (Laura’s oral version of the killing record), but saw Will and Elizabeth studying how to bring more people to Winter Village, so he stopped chatting with Laura, walked out of the cabin and watched Will and Elizabeth high-five to celebrate.

“How is it?”

Elizabeth wanted to arrange a few farmers for Will, but David agreed. He also wanted to test Elizabeth: Do you have to contact Will directly to follow him to Winter Village? Or can you contact him indirectly, that is, people bumping into each other?

Now there is an accurate answer.

“You must meet Will directly.” Elizabeth looked at the few people who were still blindfolded and dared not run around, and even dared not take off the cloth strips on their eyes. These were the serfs who had just been bought: “Wait a minute, there are still a few people who haven’t come.”

Instructing a few serfs to stand still and not run around, and not to take off the cloth strips on their eyes, Elizabeth hurriedly took Will back to Royal Port again and brought the remaining people over.

Ten serfs, this is an easy thing for Governor Weatherby Swan. As for the one hundred that Elizabeth said, the governor simply thought his daughter was joking. After buying her ten serfs, he told her that if she really reclaimed a large piece of wasteland and ten slaves were not enough, he would buy her more slaves.

Elizabeth did not express dissatisfaction. Ten slaves were enough for the time being, and she thought that if she bought a hundred at once, the problem of food would be difficult to solve.

First, let these ten serfs build Will’s farm into a prototype, and then gradually add more serfs to expand the scale of the farm.

“Okay, you can take off the cloth strips on your eyes.” Then Elizabeth introduced their master Will Turner to the ten serfs, telling them that the next job was to reclaim farmland for Master Will Turner on the wasteland around the village.

As for wages? Of course there is none! But Master Will Turner will be fully responsible for the food, clothing and accommodation of these serfs.

Hearing what Elizabeth said, Will’s face turned a little pale, and he whispered in Elizabeth’s ear: “My blacksmith shop hasn’t officially opened yet, so there’s no way to feed so many people.”

“Bring some food and clothes to me later, it should be enough for a while.”

“Isn’t this… bad?”

“This way you can become a big farmer sooner…”

The young couple whispered there, while David was looking at the group of slaves: they were all strong men, and what surprised David was that these slaves were basically white.

As if seeing David’s confusion, Laura whispered to him, “In fact, there were many white slaves in the earliest slave trade. These white slaves were mainly bankrupts and criminals. They were forced to become slaves and then went to the colonies to work. Because these slaves would sign a contract, they were called indentured slaves. As long as they worked for the term of the contract, they could regain their freedom.”

David glanced at Laura, “How do you know what I’m wondering about?”

“I think you may not know enough about this aspect of history.” Laura suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another thing, “A lot of the black tea I brought was drunk, but the milk and sugar hardly decreased. As far as I know, those who like to drink it directly without adding any seasoning are…”

“Ahem~ According to Agreement No. 404 of the Space-Time Management Regulations, some things cannot be said directly.”

“Oh~” Laura didn’t care about David’s obvious nonsense. She was curious about another thing: “Why don’t you keep it a secret?”

“I don’t seem to be very good at this kind of thing.” He spread his hands helplessly. He suspected that Mark had actually guessed it a long time ago, but just didn’t say it clearly.

“Your judgment is correct. You are not very good at this kind of thing.” Laura seemed to remember something happy, and asked another question with a smile: “What is your real name?”

“My real name is David.”

“Nice to meet you, David!” Laura suddenly stretched out her hand and shook David’s hand. At this time, Elizabeth and Will had already taken ten serfs to the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop was big enough. As long as there were enough beddings, the ten serfs would not have to worry about having no place to sleep: “So, how do you arrange the ten slaves?”

This sentence was like triggering a switch. Steve, Peggy, and Mark, who were attracted by Elizabeth and Will, were originally watching the excitement nearby. As soon as Laura asked this question, their eyes were all focused on David.

“This is Winter Village, of course, we will deal with it according to the rules of Winter Village.” David would not be stumped by such a small problem: “These people need to sign a new contract with Will Turner and work for Will as contract farmers.”

David is not a slave liberator, but the situation in Winter Village is destined to have no room for the survival of slavery.
