"How are we going to get out?" Before Frieda could answer, the slave who was listening nearby couldn't help but ask.
"I hope the people from the village will meet us outside the territory..."
"So all we have to do is find a way to leave the territory, right?"
"Yes." Finn nodded.
Because he knew that slaves did not only work within the manor, sometimes they also had to go out to dig stones, wood and collect resources.
This is their chance.
But new problems arise.
Someone brought it up immediately.
Finn looked around and said directly: "Do you believe me? If you believe me and follow my command, I will try my best to get all of you out. I will leave with the last group of you."
The reason why Finn dared to do this was that he discovered on the way here just now that the entire Barnes Village had undergone significant changes because of the team from Hope Village, especially the mercenary teams. They originally received tasks through the task center, but today they all seemed to have gathered in the territory to discuss something.
...
...
Anyway, no matter what, Finn felt that Hope Village was aiming for something big this time.
Under such circumstances, their actions should be relatively complete.
And just now on the road, he met members of the Sharp Blade Mercenary Team playing with a soldier from the Soldier Team who was on vacation.
Under normal circumstances, he would not think too much about it, because the mercenary team in Barnes Village needs to be on good terms with the soldier team in order to ensure that their gains are not exploited so much. However, after Brooke talked so much to ordinary people like them, he thought that there must be some unspeakable secrets in the contact between the mercenary team and the soldiers.
And this unspeakable secret may be related to leaving the village of Barnes.
The restrictions that Barnes Village imposed on its residents may have touched the nerves of many people. They did not leave because they did not have the ability. But now with the cooperation of other territories, the residents of Barnes Village must be impatient, especially when there is a risk that the territory may be captured in a territory war in a few days.
So, no way
It was after listening to Finn's last words that the slaves decided to believe him.
"We believe you."
"Anyway, nothing can be worse than it is now, so there's no harm in trying."
"I'm willing to give it a try rather than living here in darkness and without freedom."
"Before, if we tried, we would die and have no hope of survival, but now we can survive and be free, so we are willing to do so."
“…”
Most people gave Finn the greatest trust and affirmation, and their eyes were brighter than before.
Finn nodded immediately upon seeing this. "I will inform you when I have made a plan. You should do as usual and not arouse suspicion. Also, I hope you can work in groups of two or three to check on your companions. It's not that I doubt you, but this matter is extremely important to you. If someone accidentally reveals it, you may not have a chance to leave."
The status of a slave is different from that of a resident.
The status of residents must be free. The lord of a territory cannot kill residents openly, but he can kill slaves openly.
He was afraid that someone would use this incident to free himself from slavery because he was afraid to escape, which would be much faster than escaping from Barnes Village.
His reminder was mainly directed at some of the slaves.
The slaves have lived together for a long time, so they must be familiar with each other's situation and know which slaves are unreliable. Then, for their future freedom, they will definitely keep a close eye on these unreliable people. This also solves the crisis in his "rescue career."
"Okay." Sure enough, someone responded to Finn immediately.
"Then get back to work!" Finn said goodbye.
He couldn't disturb them from working anymore. If they didn't finish their work, they would definitely starve and might even be beaten.
"Yeah." After being reminded, the slaves dispersed and went back to their work.
Of course, when heading to the work place, some unreliable people in the slave team were directly targeted by relatively reliable people. As for the rest, for safety reasons, they were in groups of twos and threes.
Only Frieda and Finn were left at the scene.
"Thank you." Frieda had recovered by now, and looked at Finn with gratitude in her eyes.
If this succeeds, she will be able to regain her freedom, work hard to become a mercenary, and get to know the world better.
She had never thought about it before because she knew it was impossible! But Finn gave her hope, which was precious.
"I hope that after we arrive at Hope Village, you can thank me with practical actions, for example, treating me to a big meal?" Finn raised his eyebrows, his expression showing the youthful vigor that only a young man could have.
Frieda listened and nodded seriously, "Okay!"
Afterwards, after saying goodbye to Frieda, Finn carefully left the area.
When he left, many slaves who were working looked at his back unconsciously, and they did not look away until his figure completely disappeared.
Everything returned to calm, but the waves rising deep in their hearts were not so easy to calm down.
Finn left, but turned back to find Brooke.
"I'm asking you to do me a favor."
"What help?" After Brooke knew Finn's plan, he was willing to help him within his ability.
"I need some gold coins." Finn said this with a little shyness on his face.
If possible, he didn't want to come to Brook, but his plan was inseparable from the gold coins.
"How much do you need? And what do you plan to do? Can you tell me?" Brooke agreed without hesitation, but was still very curious about what Finn was going to do.
He wondered what clever idea this clever boy had come up with.
Finn listened, hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth.
"I want to use some money to buy the stones and wood in the territory."
"As for stone, the territory war is about to break out, so it's unlikely that Barnes Village will be able to call on its inventory, right?" Brooke asked subconsciously.
Finn listened and nodded. "If the inventory cannot be moved, we have to collect it again. As long as I can pay for the initial expenditure, someone will continue to collect it. Of course, professionals will not value this little money. It is likely that ordinary residents will go, and in addition to ordinary residents, slaves are also likely to be sent out."
The last sentence is the key point.
Finn needed to get the slaves off the property in a reasonable manner.
As long as you leave and have someone to pick you up, the world will be yours.
After listening to this, Brooke looked at Finn in surprise.
This is a really good idea.
And it applies not only to slaves but also to residents.
"I'm willing to lend you this money, but before I lend it to you, are you willing to go with me to meet a few people?" Brooke knew that he was not that smart and could not maximize his benefits in this matter.
But a few others can.
If they could help improve the plan, perhaps this time the operation in Barnes Village would go more smoothly than they planned, and they could even become the most important link in it.
"...Okay." Finn paused, a hint of excitement appearing in the depths of his eyes.
He guessed that the person Brooke asked him to meet should also be from Hope Village, and a more powerful person.
He was even more clear that if he performed well, he would not only be able to make some money, but would also have the opportunity to join the Hope Village.
These mercenaries sent to Hope Village must be very powerful.
Afterwards, Brooke asked Finn to wait for news and sent someone to secretly contact Zhong Yongnian and his team.
Late at night, in an ordinary house, Zhong Yongnian, Yun Juncai, Watt, Ellis, Brooke and Finn gathered together.
In full staff
This time each of them had a different division of labor, and it was also mentioned that they should not contact each other unless necessary.
But now that they are suddenly connected, it must be related to this strange face.
Is there anything special about this boy?
Finn felt everyone's eyes focused on him, and his legs began to tremble unconsciously.
God! He's so nervous!
His eyes, seeking help, unconsciously fell on Brooke.
Brooke smiled at him reassuringly, and then said to Zhong Yongnian and the others, "I called you here suddenly this time because he told me a new method."
