Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 250: Water Bandit Will (8)
After explaining the two glasses of wine, Will asked curiously: "My lord, what do you mean when you tell me about wine? Is this related to the condition you just mentioned?"
Balian nodded, "Of these two kinds of wine, one is too spicy to be tasted, but it can cure injuries and save lives, and the other is the same wine, but with some seasonings added, making it sweet and palatable. These two kinds of wine are similar to
Both ways of doing things are the same."
Looking at Will, who still looked confused, Balian continued to explain: "You are disgusted by the nobles bullying the common people, so you chose to become a water bandit in such a drastic way. Although it can give your subordinates and their families something to eat, it will not
starve.
However, they have lost their legal status forever and can only live on a humid lake island. This kind of precarious life makes people worry all the time. I think you will not have a happy life.
However, in another way, you are loyal to me and take these people to Fort Nolandenburg, away from this place of right and wrong. I can guarantee that everyone of you will have clothes to wear, a house to live in, and food to eat, and you will not be extorted.
Bullied by villains like Baron Vere.
And you and your reliable subordinates will still have the opportunity to become my knights, trainee knights, and knight attendants, and the upward channels have also been opened."
Will shook his head after hearing this, "I don't believe what a noble said, especially a young noble like you. If you have done such a thing at the age of twenty, you must be very sophisticated in your conspiracy. If I believe you
, I’m just afraid that I’ll be sold by you and I’ll still have to count the money for you.”
"Hahaha!" Balian laughed for a while after hearing this, and then asked: "Then what should I do to make you believe me?"
"Unless you can help me deal with that beast in Sowell!" Will said through gritted teeth.
Balian shook his head, "Sowell is indeed hateful, but I have no reason to kill him for you."
After saying this, Balian continued: "Since you are so resolute, I won't force you anymore. Return the things you took from me, and I will let you go."
Seeing that Balion no longer insisted on his allegiance, Will agreed to this condition. After all, he and his brothers were in other people's hands, and they had indeed robbed other people's things. If they just returned the things, they could survive, which was not bad.
transaction.
Later, Balian asked someone to lead several of Will's men. After Will explained to them, Balian asked people to let them go.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of the next day, Dick the Big Ear came back with more than ten carriages. Will's men were afraid that something would happen to their boss and the imprisoned family members, so they honestly returned all the things they had stolen.
.
Balian also kept his promise and let Will and the others go. When Will left, he said to Balian: "Baron Balian, I have met many nobles, but you are indeed different from them. If
If possible in the future, I will return this favor to you."
Balian smiled and shook his head, "I just want my things back. I have no other ideas. If I hear about you killing wantonly in the future, I will definitely not spare you."
"Hahaha!" Will laughed heartily after hearing this, "If I knew that you, like other nobles, only care about your own enjoyment and oppress the people, and don't care about the life and death of the people under your rule, I will definitely not let you go.
your."
"Okay! Let's supervise each other." Balian stepped forward and extended his fist to bump it with him.
Will decisively bumped fists with Balian. He originally thought that this nobleman who didn't look strong was just good at martial arts and not that strong, but he didn't expect that his fists were very hard and powerful.
After retracting his fist, Will felt his hand hurt, but seeing that Balian's expression was still calm, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, then turned around and left. He turned around, grinning, letting his
The men were at a loss.
"Go quickly! Pretend nothing happened." Will ordered his subordinates in a low voice. It seemed that he was also afraid of losing face.
After Will and the others left, Balian looked like he was in pain. Then he looked at his red fist and sighed: "This kid is quite strong."
Eomer, Bran, Rohir, Grimbor and others who were standing aside all laughed heartily when they heard Balion's words.
I thought this matter was over. Balian planned to return in five days. This time, the team would not be separated and would go on the road together, which would be safer.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. On this day, when Balian went to the mule and horse market to buy some more war horses, he met Will and his gang.
Only this time, Will and the others were no longer free people, but became serfs who were auctioned in public. A group of people were tied up with chains and standing in the open space of the mule and horse market. A slave trader was there.
Selling now.
"Everyone, come and take a look. Strong slaves are very suitable whether they are bought for farming or mining. Moreover, these slaves are mainly fishermen. If you have a fishing business, it is more suitable to buy them.
Got it," the slave trader shouted.
While hawking, he pointed at these slaves with a stick. Should he have someone pull one out to the front, strip off his clothes, and let him jump up and down on the stone tiles covered with ice and snow? This slave is just an ordinary slave.
If you move slowly, the slave trader will hit you with a whip.
With a sound of "Pa!", a whip hit the slave's back, and a striking blood-red whip mark immediately appeared. Although the slave was in pain, he did not dare to shout out, because he would be beaten if he screamed.
There will be more and more powerful.
Grimbor frowned and asked Balian in a low voice, "Sir, aren't these Will and the others? How did they get caught here?"
Balian shook his head, "I don't know what happened. Let's sell the horses first. We have nothing to do with these water bandits, so we don't have to worry about them."
Greenberg nodded upon hearing this, and then several people prepared to turn around and leave.
At this time, sharp-eyed Will saw Balian. He suddenly rushed forward and shouted: "My lord, please buy me and my brothers. We are willing to do anything for you."
This sudden change surprised Balian and the others. The slave traders and the guards guarding the slaves were also surprised. However, despite being surprised, they did not let go of the whips in their hands and immediately slapped Will with several whips.
.
These whips tore the thin linen shirt on Will's body, only leaving his skin and flesh torn open and blood dripping. The miserable scene was shocking to people, but Will, a tough guy, gritted his teeth and did not scream.
"Stop!" Balian shouted violently, "Stop it, I bought all these slaves!"
Balian shouted loudly, and the slave trader decisively stopped his whip. He came to Balian with a flattering smile and asked with a smile: "My lord, what should I call you?" This chapter has been completed!
