Leaving again, Ye Zhou took Sarah and Zhou Yuanhe with him, and Chen Shu was left in the supermarket.
There was no other way. He had to leave someone behind to take charge of the force. Although the possibility of encountering danger at the bottom of the cliff was very low, it was always necessary to be prepared. With Chen Shu around, if they really encountered danger, she could quickly teach the supermarket employees how to use guns.
——Accuracy is not important. What is important is to intimidate the enemy with the gun.
As long as the enemy has a sound mind, he will not use cold weapons to fight against hot weapons.
With a portable tent, sleeping at night is no longer a torture. The fabric of this new tent is soft, thin and breathable, flexible and strong. It is not only not stuffy, but also insects and ants cannot crawl in.
They walked for two days, using the drone to reach previously unexplored areas and complete the map of the area.
This place is really the only inhabited land, and the rest is undeveloped virgin forest.
It is estimated that there are large blank areas between territories, there are no perfect roads, and commerce is not well developed. The lord may have familiar merchants to send spices, salt, cloth and other necessities and consumables, but ordinary civilians barter with each other, and currency has more symbolic significance than practical use for them.
People's lives were very poor, and they had to exchange food for the salt and pottery they needed from the lords.
Everyone is a farmer, no one has any other occupation.
As the only local native in the group, Kane became the "team leader" and was responsible for explaining everything here.
During the meal, Kane said to Ye Zhou: "My family's manor was awarded to my father by the lord. He used to be the lord's knight. Because of his military exploits, the lord rewarded my father with a piece of land."
Ye Zhou was a little curious: "If your father passes away, who will inherit the manor? Will you brothers divide it equally?"
Kane shook his head: "There will only be one heir, and it should be my eldest brother."
Ye Zhou: "What about you guys?"
Kane: "My sisters may marry knights or marry low-ranking nobles with large dowries, while my brothers and I will be sent to the church or become knights. If we are lucky, we will also be rewarded by the lord and have our own manor."
Kane lowered his head. This was the life he once longed for, to have his own estate and buy some good horses for his children.
Then he had a group of slaves working for him.
But after becoming a slave, he no longer thought so.
Why are there slaves? What exactly are slaves? They are all human beings, so why are some people born nobles and some people born slaves?
Is this really God's will?
The Moon Goddess is willing to save the slaves, but humans are constantly exploiting their compatriots and wish that everyone except themselves would be their slaves.
Ye Zhou looked at Kane's profile and he could guess what Kane was thinking.
He was somewhat curious about how the state of mind of a person who once belonged to an oppressed class would change after experiencing dramatic changes in his family and life.
"If you were the lord, what would you do?" Ye Zhou asked Kane.
Kane was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized what Lord Moon God was going to take him to do. He couldn't help but widen his eyes. After a few seconds of stunned silence, Kane stammered, "Let everyone become free citizens."
“Let them get the pay they deserve, and anyone who works can make a living with their own hands.”
Ye Zhou shook his head: "This is not enough."
Kane whispered, "Lord Moon God, I am so stupid."
Ye Zhou: "You just don't have experience. To manage a place, you need rules, order and laws, not people's likes and dislikes."
Kane opened his mouth slightly. He didn't understand. He knew the rules, but the rules were always changing.
Kings and lords control the rules, which change according to their preferences. The rules seem to exist and yet seem not to exist.
Those in power like the rules.
"Think about it carefully and tell me when you figure it out." Ye Zhou said to Kane.
If Kane is not competent, Ye Zhou will have to pick a new one.
He needs an intelligent person, preferably one who is honest or relatively honest.
But if an honest person is not competent, then a treacherous person can barely be used.
Before reaching the cliff, Kane had been thinking about Ye Zhou's question. He felt that he had understood a little, but he also felt that he did not fully understand it. He did not dare to ask Ye Zhou, so he could only think about it alone.
This time they went straight down the mountain. Ye Zhou and the others stayed in the woods and asked Sarah to go to the stone house where the lord lived.
Before leaving, Sarah looked at Zou Ming provocatively, as if to say, "See, I'm still more useful than you."
After watching it, I walked away with a proud look on my face.
Sarah, wearing a puffy skirt, walked to the door of the stone house and knocked on the wooden door. Footsteps were soon heard from inside. The doorman in charge of guarding the door opened the door a crack. He hunched his shoulders and looked shocked when he saw Sarah.
Sarah ignored him and just said, "I want to see your lord, what's his name... the one called Ryan."
After saying that, she walked in with a swagger.
Perhaps because her attitude was too matter-of-fact and her behavior was too overbearing, the butler was intimidated by her and did not try to stop her at the first time. It was not until Sarah walked into the corridor that the butler hurriedly chased after her.
Because of Sarah's attire, the servant didn't dare to reach out and touch her. He could only stand in front of her and asked nervously and humbly, "Whose family are you from? If you need to find the lord, please let your lord come."
Sarah said expressionlessly: "I am the messenger of the Moon God, and I am here to see your Lord. Since you are stopping me, I will wait here for your Lord to come."
She glanced at the butler and said in a cold, threatening tone, "You'd better not keep me waiting."
When she spoke, her voice was that of an adult woman. The butler at the door had not noticed her just now, but now he realized that this little girl did not look like a child at all. Her expression was solemn and cold, and her walking posture was elegant and natural. No matter how you looked at her, she did not look like a child at all.
The servant said quickly: "Please wait a moment, I will tell the lord right away!"
After saying this, the servant hurriedly ran forward.
Sarah stood there, arms folded across her chest, waiting impatiently.
She doesn't like dealing with people, whether they are their own kind or humans. She has a good relationship with Cao'er, but that's because Cao'er and the employees in the supermarket have taken care of her. Sarah holds grudges, but she also remembers favors.
She still remembers every grudge from a hundred years ago.
But after she came out, she returned to her previous state and was displeased with everyone.
Ryan, who got the news, came quickly. He did not dare to underestimate anyone who claimed to be a messenger of God. Even if the other party was a liar, he would not dare to make a conclusion until he saw it with his own eyes.
When he saw Sarah around the corner, he was certain that she was not a real child before he even said anything.
She was wearing a dress he had never seen before, with intricate lace patterns and dark prints, and a pair of small leather shoes on her feet. She didn't look around, as if everything here made her feel boring, and even a little disgusted.
Ryan had seen noble ladies before, but Sarah was unlike any he had ever seen.
But she looked more arrogant than a real noble lady. She raised her chin slightly, as if she was looking down at everything here instead of looking up.
The moment he saw Sarah, Ryan believed in her identity as a messenger of God - at least it was more reliable than Kurt's identity as a messenger of God.
"God's messenger." Ryan stood in front of Sarah and called out tentatively.
Sarah glanced at Ryan and asked, "Where is the witch doctor named Kurt? Call him over. I have something to say to him."
Ryan smiled and said, "He is busy and not here right now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. I am the lord here."
He was tired of having Kurt do the talking all the time.
Sarah looked at Ryan, and after Ryan's scalp was numb, Sarah said, "Okay, take me to a place where we can talk."
Ryan moved sideways to make way, and Sarah walked forward nonchalantly.
Ryan took Sarah to the study. There were not many books in the study, but mostly various decorations. Parchment was not cheap. The price of a book was more expensive than the same weight of gold. Here, literacy was a luxury, wisdom was monopolized, and the poor would never see a book in their entire lives.
Sarah sat on the chair, and she said to Karl naturally: “Go and pour me a glass of water, boil it, and bring it to me when it’s cold.”
Although Karl felt that this action was a bit like taking off pants to fart, he still nodded honestly and walked out.
His nephew had died, but there were so many things going on recently that he didn't even have time to take care of his nephew's funeral. He just had someone build a tomb for Hill and didn't even have time to send a message to his parents.
Carl was not sad about his nephew's death.
After all, he has more than one nephew. If this nephew is gone, there is still another one. It would be enough as long as he can eventually find one to replace his personal butler.
What's more, the butler is in good health now. If the nephew wants to replace him, he has to wait until he replaces the butler first.
Sarah and Ryan were the only ones left in the study. Ryan asked quietly, "God sent you here. Does Lord Moon have any more instructions?"
Sarah didn't respond, but said with disdain: "You are so poor here."
Ryan: “…”
Although Sarah was telling the truth, Ryan still felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only laugh: "It's really not good here, and the land is not good either."
Sarah waved her hand: "Don't complain to me. Whether you are poor or not has nothing to do with me. The Moon God should reward you with something, but what can you offer him?"
Ryan immediately said: "I can ask Lord Moon for my land! All my property! Even my life!"
Sarah rolled her eyes. “Are these things useful?”
Ryan: "...I know that to Lord Moon God, nothing I have is precious."
Sarah nodded: "Yes, so you'd better find something precious."
Sarah: "Are you the only lord around here?"
Ryan whispered, "There are two more territories, but it will take more than ten days to get there by carriage."
Sarah shrugged. "Then you'd better send someone out now."
"Don't you nobles like to say that you are brothers? Since the Moon God is willing to give you a reward, how can you keep it all for yourself?"
She wanted to use some of the benefits to return more wealth to Ye Zhou.
Sarah finally smiled: "As long as you can convince them, I might say something good about you in front of the Moon Goddess."
"This may be your only chance in this life."
Ryan was silent.
The opportunity to change his destiny is right in front of him, but can he really seize it?
