Chapter 338 Robbery (2)
Morati picked up a small wooden stick and inserted it into the middle of the bones, took out the bone marrow, piled it on a plate, and greasy lump, then scooped it up with a spoon and put it into his mouth, hanging the pleasure of enjoyment on his face.
Vanessa, opposite him, frowned slightly, as if she was displeased, but she did not speak.
Morati picked up the bone, shook it in his hand, and said, "Miss Vanessa doesn't like my savage way of eating, right? But it's really delicious. Put down your reserve and you can taste the deliciousness.
You said I don’t know much about your civilization?
Maybe.
Seventy-nine years ago, I was born in the imperial capital. Yes, it was the imperial capital, as the posthumous son of a viscount's maid.
I was lucky. I was taken care of by Viscount and helped me register as an illegitimate child. I was able to study in a community school for free, and then I was lucky enough to pass the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Imperial Capital Yuan Energy College.
The viscount was very happy, sincerely glad for me, and he believed that the light of civilization could cleanse my sinful blood.
Then I studied, I advanced, and I became a civilized man you recognized. Many years later, with the trust of Viscount, returning to the New World to take care of his business, the newly discovered Misilan mine in the Delano Mountains.
If it weren't for this arrangement, I might have lived as a civilized person, healthy, rich, carefree, and completely forgotten my bloodline and my nation.
However, fate still brought me back here, let me know that there was a group of people who needed me more, who needed me more than my mother who was far away in the imperial capital, who regarded me as her own viscount and my mixed-race brothers and sisters.
People of the same blood as me, poverty, hunger, ignorance, struggled on the brink of destruction, so I stayed in the mountains of Delano to help my fellow citizens so that they could survive.
I worked hard for fifty years before I found out what you saw, whether you call a rebel or a native of your country.
So, where does our suffering and blood come from?
Why were we driven into this deserted mountain when we lived freely on our own land?
You might say that it was the mistake of the early colonists, that you are all clean, white, and innocent.
No, in my opinion, in our opinion, this is not the case. Everything you enjoy now is taken by us.
What did your ancestors say back then? Oh, by the way,
‘Beyond the city state, either god or beast’!
Our ancestors are too weak outside of your civilization, so they are naturally not gods, they are beasts.
If they know that you are now discussing with a bunch of wild beasts how civilized people should treat you, they will probably curse you, unworthy descendants!
Hahaha……
Don't just talk about civilization, human nature and human rights when you need it.
You can tell Brother Ling these words in the letter:
Starting tomorrow, I will give him a head every day, and yours will be the last one.
If he still doesn't agree to our conditions, after the people here handle it, I will have a way to get more and more substantial heads for him.
The descendants of wild beasts naturally have their own way of doing things.”
...
Vanessa didn't know how she got back to the room. The man named Morati should be the leader of the rebels. She was speechless by what he said.
Of course, what made her so disobedient was that she did not think that the Empire would agree to the rebels' negotiation demands. In the end, they would become headless ghosts.
It is even more impossible to raid and rob them back. The place is well prepared and is in the center of the Delano Mountains. It is difficult not to disturb the indigenous people from approaching here. Sending people to rescue them is because they are not dying fast enough.
The rebels were completely guerrilla. They could only be wiped out by sending large corps to slowly erode the rebels' territory and forcing them to fight to the decisive battle. However, by then, the grass on their graves would be several feet high.
In a bad mood, Vanessa fell on her bed toss and turns and couldn't fall asleep.
When she arrived here, her treatment suddenly improved. She no longer had more than a dozen people huddled in a small tent and fell asleep by smelling other people's sweat. She had her own cave, which was the residence of miners in the mine. If she ignored the patrol guards at the door and the wooden shackles on her wrists, she felt that she could at least be considered an ordinary miner who would go to work tomorrow.
While thinking about it, a big hand suddenly covered her mouth, turned her head in panic and saw a familiar figure standing beside her bed.
Jacques!
How could he enter my room?!
Jacques put his index finger on his lips and signaled Vanessa not to speak. She blinked her eyes and said she knew.
Then Jacques pulled out a legion sword from his waist, quickly broke the wooden shackle, and then returned to the sword and entered the sheath. Regardless of whether Vanessa agreed or not, she picked her up with both hands and turned around and entered a light door.
Vanessa saw the scenery change, and she suddenly entered the starry sky from the cave room!
There is boundless darkness in every direction, only vague light spots float around. When you turn your head and look, the light gate becomes smaller and disappears sharply.
Jacques relaxed his left hand and wanted to put Vanessa down, but when the man in his arms looked down, he was so scared that he put his hands on his neck and his legs to his waist, unable to survive.
I didn't know where I fell.
"Ahem, Miss Vanessa, please come down. It's okay, it won't fall, don't worry." Jacques said.
Vanessa blushed and tentatively stepped on her feet down. She really stepped on her feet. She turned her head and looked at her. Mark was standing there holding Fat Orange with a smile.
Time cannot be delayed.
Jacques pulled Vanessa and left, while briefly explaining to her the space rift of her source energy skills and the current situation.
"We must meet with Marian and the others as soon as possible. Only by leaving the Drano Mountains and reaching the empire's controlled area will we be safe." Jacques said.
Vanessa suddenly stopped and said, "Jacques, can you rescue others? Otherwise, they will definitely die. The rebels have decided to kill one person every day until my brother accepts their conditions..."
This made Jacques difficult. He thought for a moment and said, "Can we save only a few people, such as your friends, with so many people, we cannot leave the Delano Mountains quickly. First of all, there are not enough horses. We only prepared your two horses... There are too many people, but it is a burden, and in the end we will kill us.
Mark, do you have any friends trapped in it? Vanessa, who do you want to save? If you use the spare horses, we can save up to ten more people."
Mark shrugged and said, "My friends...there are only Vento and Marian. They are very safe. I will not save that little bitch Theresa, so it is even more unnecessary for others."
Jacques looked at Vanessa, but the girl didn't expect it to be so difficult. She snatched her hands and said, "I've been in York City for only a few months. You are my only friends in the New World, but I just leave them alone..."
Jacques scratched his head and said, "I understand, as long as the rebels don't kill people casually, right? Then I have a way."
He took Fat Orange from Mark's arms and said, "You guys are waiting for me here, don't walk around, otherwise it will be difficult for me to find you."
Then he turned around and walked away gradually as the two of them watched.
...
After an hour, Vanessa and Mark became more and more restless as they waited. They looked around anxiously, and finally saw a figure running from a distance.
When he got closer, Jacques still held the fat cat and said with a smile: "Okay, they will not dare to capture prisoners without permission in the short term. Let's go! Walk forward for another five miles and you can leave the dimensional space."
Chapter completed!
