Chapter 868: Allegiance
The slaves looked at Tim in horror, and in their eyes, Tim had turned into a demon.
And they are sad to find that the slave traders who enslaved them are dead, but they have fallen into the hands of an even more terrible demon who kills without blinking.
Tim didn't have any emotional fluctuations, in fact, killing is very simple, and when he kills for the first time, he does have that feeling of nausea and fear.
But that's how people are, and when they get used to this feeling, they become numb.
This was the case with Tim, who had encountered a wave of robbers just a few days earlier, and the scene was even bloodier than it is now.
In the days that followed, they encountered several waves of bandit gangs, and Tim was no longer so frightened and began to accept his duties.
However, even when killing, Tim is still like a gentleman, and his clothes are not flashy, but they look clean and neat.
Tim gently swept the dust off his sleeves, his steps gentle and comfortable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am crazy to release you on the orders of my young master, and now these robbers are dead, so you are free. With that, Tim turned and walked in the direction of the carriage.
Truth be told, Tim's actions seem very irresponsible, and the slaves don't even have their shackles opened.
And the key to unlock the shackles has been shattered along with the slave traders.
"Wait......" Just then, a minotaur stepped forward.
The minotaur was so tall that even the rest of his clan was a head taller than his companions, and his shoulders were as wide as four Tims.
The minotaur was covered in bruises, and it was evident that he had experienced an extremely violent resistance before he was captured.
However, even if this minotaur was covered in wounds, his body should be full of oppression, but in his eyes, there was no hatred, only calm and sincerity.
"Any other advice?" said Tim, looking back at the minotaur.
The minotaur patted his chest and said solemnly: "You saved Split Hoof, from today on, you are the owner of Split Hoof, and Split Hoof will always be loyal to you." ”
"Your name is Splithoof? Mr. Splithoof, I am mistaken, it was not me who saved you, it was my master who ordered me to save you, and besides, my master does not need followers. ”
"No, I don't care what you say, it's a fact that you saved us anyway, and Splithoof doesn't want to follow you as a follower, but as a slave. Splithoof said solemnly.
The Minotaurs have always been a very stubborn race, and as long as it is a fact that they believe, they will carry it out without hesitation.
Even if they are hindered by many obstacles, they will not hesitate, let alone hesitate.
Splithoof and his people are the same gaze, firm and sincere.
Tim frowned, "I'm sorry, Mr. Splithoof, I can't take slaves because I'm a slave myself, and if you really want to repay it, then you should repay my master, not me." ”
Splithoof looked in the direction of the carriage, a look of embarrassment on his face.
Because he and his companions identified the benefactor as Tim, not the child who had just appeared on the board.
After a moment of hesitation, Splithoof's gaze became clear again: "I can be as loyal to your master as I am to you, but you are our benefactor, this is an indisputable fact. ”
In fact, the Minotaur also knows how to be flexible, of course, this flexibility is based on some principles.
They can be flexible for the sake of some of the things they identify, but they will not change the facts they believe for the sake of being flexible.
Tim still shook his head, because accepting someone else's allegiance without Bai Chen's approval was likely to be felt by his own master and that he had two minds.
After all, the master is the master, and the servant is the servant, and if the servant can also accept the slave, then the identity will be messed up.
Tim is happy with his current owner, and Tim is also clear about who he is and who he is.
Everything about himself was given to him by Bai Chen, so he would never do something that made Bai Chen feel dissatisfied.
"You better find another Lord, I cannot accept your allegiance. ”
"Tim, just take it...... I just need some manpower. ”
At this time, Bai Chen's voice came, and Bai Chen looked very lightly at the relationship between the master and the servant.
And in Bai Chen's view, he and Tim are more like superiors and subordinates, he hires Tim, and Tim serves himself, not the kind of absolute master and servant.
So, if someone is willing to be loyal to Tim, there is no reason for him to stop it, and he will not stop it.
Tim's face changed drastically, thinking that Bai Chen felt that he had bad intentions, so he immediately knelt down in the direction of the carriage: "Young master, I don't have two hearts......"
"Get up, I don't doubt what you mean, don't be surprised. Bai Chen said indifferently.
Bai Chen walked out of the carriage, took out a sword from the space ring water mirror, and threw it in front of Tim: "Open the shackles on their hands and feet." ”
Tim thought for a moment, looked at the minotaur waiting for Split Hoof, and finally nodded.
After following Bai Chen for so long, he could still hear Bai Chen's attitude, whether he was angry or not, he could still hear it.
And he also knew that Bai Chen's temper had always been very good, especially for his own people, at least Tim had never seen Bai Chen lose his temper with him or Kane.
Tim unshackled Splithoof and a dozen other minotaurs before handing the sword to Splithoof: "Go and unshackle them and let them go." ”
"Yes, the host ......"
"Don't call me master, call me the manager, only my young master can be called master, do you understand? If you have any objections, then please leave. Tim immediately said solemnly.
Although Bai Chen is permissive, it doesn't mean that he can indulge, and Tim doesn't want to give birth to a problem in Bai Chen's heart because of this matter.
"Excuse me......" A half-elf stepped forward and looked at Tim with a little awe, "May I ask this lord, does your master accept my allegiance? ”
"You?" Tim frowned, "What will you do?"
"The villain's name is Michael, and he is a carpenter, and when he used to live in the clan, most of the wooden tools needed in the clan were made by the villain. Michael said tremblingly.
Regardless of his pedigree, he is actually just an ordinary person who has never seen a dead person several times in his life.
Not long ago, however, slave traders had broken into his village and slaughtered and hunted his kind.
Now he and his people are homeless, and the village has been razed to the ground.
These more than 100 people have no way out, although Bai Chen saved them, but they don't know where they should go.
Not only Michael, but also the half-elves looked at Tim with hopeful eyes, and Tim knew roughly what they were up to.
If there was a way to go, they would not choose to be slaves.
"Do they have the same choices as you?" Tim glanced at the others.
Immediately, many half-elves echoed, and the others also looked at them pleadingly.
"You wait, I'll ask my young master. ”
Tim returned to the carriage and looked at Bai Chen, a little embarrassed, not knowing how to speak.
"Young Master......"
"I know what you mean, you want me to take them in, but they don't have much use for me, so you don't need to be loyal, if you pity them and have no way out, just take them in, but you have to discipline them. ”
"Young master, in fact, the villain feels that they are not useless. ”
"Oh?
"The villain thinks that since the young master wants to build a castle, and the scale should not be small, since it is a large-scale castle, there is always a need for someone to do chores and manage the castle, and it can't be a huge castle, just a few of us, even if we don't care, but Miss Mei Li is still young after all, living in an empty big house, it is too lonely, if there are many people, Miss Mei Li can also have a few more companions to play with her. ”
In fact, Tim was moved by compassion, so he tried his best to persuade Bai Chen.
"Then do as you say, and let any of them stay if they want, and you will be in charge of everyone. ”
"Yes, young master. Tim immediately replied with joy.
After Tim passed the news to Miege, Miego and the others immediately cried with joy.
In fact, they chose to be loyal to Bai Chen, mainly because they saw Tim's strength and did not have the same malice as other humans.
Even if they leave and build a village again, the next time they encounter slave traders, they will have to experience another family ruin.
Everyone wants to live a stable life, and half-elves are no exception.
And for now, it seems that Tim and Bai Chen are their best choice.
Their strength, as well as their compassion, convinced them that they had made the right choice.
At this time, several goblins surrounded them, these goblins were green-skinned goblins, and their height was not much different from Bai Chen's.
"May I ask this lord, can you contain us?"
Tim looked at the goblins in surprise, "Do you want to follow my master too?"
"Yes, our brothers are willing to follow your master, and I wonder if your master will accept us foreigners. ”
In fact, there is still a huge gap between the races in the Conan world, and the various races do not know each other very well, and they look at other races one-sidedly.
For example, most people's impression of goblins is that they are dirty or sinister.
In fact, the same is true of the image of human beings among other races, but who can say that this is true of human beings at all.
Goblins are the same, the reason why goblins feel dirty is mainly because the goblins live in a semi-crypt, not that goblins like to stay in dark and damp crypts, but because their individuals are too weak, so they must rely on the crypt to avoid hunting and slaughter by other races.
In fact, goblins, like humans, may have individual bad people, but not the entire race is evil.
"Our brothers left their own race and wanted to come to the human world to serve an adult and use our talents, but we were deceived by the slave traders, and we did not know until we were in chains that we were enslaved as goods, and you and your master saved us, and we are willing to repay you, and your master is also entitled to our allegiance, and our skills will be able to help you and your master. ”
"Oh, what will you do?" (To be continued.) )
