Chapter 195 To Live
"Master Lu Yi, this is a new slave we bought from a slave trader a few days ago. He seemed to be in good spirits at the time, but who knew that he put all his energy into fighting with other slaves! He is totally undisciplined!" said the servant with a frown.
"It's only been a few days, and this is already the fourth or fifth time! If he was the only one who was disobedient, it would be fine, but his repeated provocative behavior has caused other slaves to start to stir! Other managers have told me many times..."
Lu Yi nodded slightly, "Then he really should be disciplined."
The servant was slightly relieved when he heard this. Seeing that Lu Yi had no intention of pursuing the matter, he boldly said, "Master Lu Yi, forgive me for saying something. I don't know how other empires are doing, but in the entire New Victory Empire, I dare say that our Klein Manor treats slaves the best!"
As the servant spoke, he secretly observed Lu Yi's expression. Seeing that there was no disgust on his face, he mustered up the courage to continue.
He originally looked down on the aloof and otherworldly young Master Klein, but the understated and intimidating remark just now made him feel a chill on the back of his neck.
Only now did he have a more concrete feeling that "Young Master Klein is a genius wizard."
"…Not only are they well fed and clothed, but they are also given one day off every week! How can this be the treatment of slaves? Even many honest and hardworking serfs don't live as well as they do, not to mention the other slaves who are treated like animals!"
The servant couldn't help but complain again: "Even so, he still doesn't work hard for Duke Klein, but keeps causing trouble... In my opinion, such an ungrateful slave should just die!"
Lu Yi didn't say anything.
He took a few steps forward.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Lu Yi grabbed the slave's wrist.
The servant who had just complained began to sweat again on his forehead and watched his actions with trepidation.
Lu Yi ignored the strange reactions of the people behind him and tentatively sent a little magic power to the unconscious slave.
The magic power took effect the moment it was transferred in, and the slave struggled to move.
Through the greasy flaxen hair, a dark eye suddenly opened.
Even though the owner of those eyes was still extremely weak at this moment, those dark eyes were still filled with flames of anger.
The next second, the owner of the fire bit Lu Yi's hand that was pinching his wrist.
The scene was about to become chaotic.
"You damn slave! What are you doing? Do you think your death is too easy?!"
"Master Lu Yi——"
“Someone come!!”
The servants in charge cursed angrily and immediately stepped forward to hold down the daring slave.
Astor, who was standing next to Lu Yi, finally changed his expression, frowned and tried to pull him up.
But Lu Yi stretched out his other hand and signaled them to stop.
Astor slightly emphasized his tone: "Lu Yi——"
Lu Yi didn't even turn his head, he just shook his head and said: "It's okay, brother, wait for me for a while, okay? Just a little while!"
Astor frowned even more tightly, but out of trust in Lu Yi, he acquiesced to Lu Yi's request.
The slave's dark and rough skin formed a sharp contrast with Lu Yi's smooth and white hands, further highlighting the ugliness of the black-eyed slave.
The bitten Lu Yi just watched coldly as the slave bit his hand tightly.
His cold attitude further angered the black-eyed slave, but no matter how hard the slave tried, Lu Yi's expression did not change at all.
As if his patience was running out, Lu Yi asked, "Have you had enough bites?"
The black-eyed slave was still biting his hand tightly, as if he wanted to keep doing this until he died.
Lu Yi raised his hand slightly, and the black-eyed slave was instantly blown away.
This shock caused the already wounded slave to faint again on the ground.
Lu Yi snorted and muttered softly: "I've never seen someone who looks so much like a dog!"
[That’s right, he’s so ungrateful! We’re here to save him! But he’s biting us, what a dog! Ugh!] 857 followed suit and criticized.
[“That’s right, what a dog!”]
Lu Yi stood up, turned his head and looked at Astor who was very close to him and said: "Brother, can you give me this slave?!"
Astor frowned and replied, "...Of course, just a slave."
He answered only reluctantly, his disgust evident in his eyes for the slave who had dared to hurt his favorite brother.
If Lu Yi didn't seem to have other arrangements, Astor would have executed this daring slave the next second, making his life a living hell.
But Lu Yi wants him to live.
"Lu Yi, stretch out your hand." Astor said.
Lu Yi stretched out his hand obediently.
Aster still frowned and wiped Lu Yi's hand very carefully with a soft, wet towel.
The slave couldn't hurt Lu Yi, and couldn't even leave any mark on his hand, but his dirty blood got on his palm.
Astor carefully wiped the pads of Lu Yi's fingers until there was no trace of blood left, then he let go of Lu Yi's hand.
Astor casually threw the handkerchief stained with slave blood to the servant behind him and said coldly, "Burn it."
He turned around again and looked at Lu Yi with a gentle attitude.
He warned: "Lu Yi, next time, just let the servants do this kind of thing, you don't have to do it yourself."
Lu Yi nodded obediently: "Okay, brother."
Astor knew from his expression that he didn't take it to heart at all, so he could only helplessly lead him out of the simple hut.
When leaving the thatched hut, Lu Yi did not forget to instruct the servants behind him: "Remember to take the slave inside, I want to take him back!"
Astor glanced at him and walked faster.
…
When he finally left Inle, Lu Yi was still unable to take the black-eyed slave with him as he wished.
They had come in a steam carriage, and there was no way they could take the slave back with them unless they allowed him to sit in the carriage.
Although Lu Yi didn't mind, considering his elder brother Astor who was obsessed with cleanliness and had a strong sense of class, he still didn't suggest taking the slave away. He only ordered the servants on the manor to send him to the new Victory manor.
It was already evening when we returned to the newly victorious Klein Manor.
Lu Yi was still complaining to Aster about his second brother Zorn, and then he made eye contact with Zorn who was sitting on the sofa in the hall.
The smile suddenly froze on his face.jpg
He was careless! He was so focused on the slave in the afternoon that he didn't notice that there was an extra person in the hall! Lu Yi thought in annoyance.
Seeing Zorn's half-smile, the words he said suddenly changed direction.
"...Second brother must have other important things to deal with. He still holds himself to high standards during the holidays. I really admire him!" Lu Yi exclaimed in an aria.
Astor also laughed and followed his teasing: "Yes, you should learn from your second brother and stop thinking about being lazy all day long."
"Yeah, yeah." Lu Yi nodded rapidly, "Learn, learn, learn!"
"Brother."
Astor nodded to Zorn and asked, "Is this considered a holiday? Are we going to Lasvino later?"
"No need. Once the graduation assessment results are out, a letter will be sent to you."
Lu Yi was slightly surprised and said, "Graduation examination? I remember that my second brother won't graduate until next year?"
Zorn smiled slightly: "I applied for early graduation. The graduation cards of several mainstream magic academies are not based on grade, but on wizard level. At your promotion speed, Lu Yi, you may be preparing to graduate in the second year."
"I see." Lu Yi suddenly realized, "I thought my second brother would stay for the full four years."
"There's no need for that. We've already done what we need to do. Staying there is just a waste of time. It's better to go home and help Big Brother."
Lu Yi nodded and whispered to 857: [857, why do I feel that Second Brother’s smile is more forced? Did I accidentally poke his wound?]
It is understandable that it takes a while to get over the death of a good friend.
[I think so.] 857 said firmly, [Do you think he is forcing a smile?]
[“I think so, too.”]
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Lu Yi immediately calmed down and listened quietly to what Zorn and Astor were saying.
Astor asked, "Is father in the study?"
Zorn replied, "Father has been upstairs in the study since dinner."
"Okay." Astor nodded, "Watch Lu Yi finish his meal, I'll eat later."
After saying that, Astor went straight upstairs.
Seeing Lu Yi suddenly wilted, Zuo En smiled and said, "Why? Brother, are you going to complain about you?"
Lu Yi said weakly: "No, but it's almost there."
"Huh? What trouble have you gotten into?" Zorn asked curiously.
Lu Yi pretended to be deep and said, "Second brother, you don't understand. I didn't get into any trouble. I just accidentally found out a shocking secret, and eldest brother notified father to silence me!"
Zorn said happily: "Okay, great magician, please protect your shocking secret!"
Lu Yi nodded: "Of course!"
Once the hero leaves, he will never return!
Although he had expected that there would come a day when he would have to talk openly with his father about his mermaid bloodline, when the time really came, Lu Yi still had a mysterious feeling of impending death.
He hadn't figured out what attitude to use when discussing this matter with his father, nor was he sure how his father would react.
[“This shouldn’t be the case. I wasn’t the one who mixed up the species. Why should I feel guilty?”]
Under Zorn's supervision, Lu Yi finished his dinner without any appetite. As soon as he put down his knife and fork, Astor came downstairs.
"Lu Yi, father is looking for you."
The author has something to say:
The prophet’s second brother, the knife is out!
Small red envelopes will also be dropped in this chapter and the next chapter!
Happy 520 to all my wives!
