Chapter 114: What is Rose’s image in the social world?
"Let him wait a moment." Rose said calmly, and Brian took the opportunity to tidy up his clothes and emotional expression.
Winters in the north are usually freezing, but Brian uses a lot of magic to maintain a relatively warm area in this slave farm.
Um...how should I put it? It seems like even God likes to keep his followers in a confinement zone.
But Qiangwei felt that it was because they had been so poor for seven hundred years in order to protect their companions.
Now, it costs money to maintain an army, and it costs money to maintain slaves. Mainly, slaves cost more money because they don’t do any work.
We also have to be wary of the Vatican's spies. Life has been really frustrating for the past seven hundred years.
About ten minutes later, the mayor of Osgili came in shivering, and was immediately wrapped in the warm private room.
It's as pleasant as entering heaven.
"Oh, Your Highness, I am Weos Atlo from the city of Osgili. It is an honor to welcome you here."
The mayor of Osgili, dressed in thin clothes, walked up to Qiangwei and the others and saluted happily.
The strong smell of perfume stimulated Qiangwei's nostrils, and she could already see the city lord's strong desire to curry favor with someone.
In the middle of winter, she wore thin clothes and expensive perfume to cover up her own smell, just to make a good impression on Rose.
Qiangwei said that this impression does not need to be so stereotyped, the weather outside is so bad that it can kill people.
"You're welcome, Lord Atlo. Come and sit with us." Rose said gently.
Artero happily walked forward and sat down, his heart jumping into his throat with excitement as he wanted to talk to Qiangwei.
"It seems that Lord Atlo also knows our Highness." Brian snorted.
"Also?" Artero looked at Brian and Rose alternately. Was he too late?
This opportunity to curry favor has been given to this guy Bri?
Artero's forehead was covered with sweat. He asked Brian with a guilty conscience, "So, Her Highness Rose has already..."
"Yeah." Brian nodded proudly.
"what?"
Seeing Brian so confident, Atlo was devastated. He cried out, "Your Highness, he's a slave trader. You're actually trying to help him..."
"You actually supported him in the slave trade!"
puff--------
Qiangwei and the others choked on their tea, except for Qiangwei who sprayed it out.
No! What is Qiangwei's image in the social world?
After seeing Rose lose her composure, Brian realized that he had caused Artero to misunderstand him and quickly said, "No, you old bastard, what are you thinking about?"
"Am I not making a deal with His Highness? Aren't you doing the same?" Brian angrily questioned Atlo directly.
"Ah? No...it's not this business?" Artelo was surprised and happy. It seemed that he still had this opportunity.
Rose finally realized that the reason why Osgili was called a slave city was because the city lord was fanning the flames behind the scenes.
"Mayor, please speak up if you have something to say. We are in a hurry." Xuanyin said loudly while holding up the tea.
Atlo immediately paid full attention to the matter, and Rose also gave Brian a look.
Brian understood and nodded in response immediately.
Rose gave the initiative to Brian, as they were unaware of Osgili's internal problems.
But it would be even more perfect if there was a teammate involved in the ending. The key is that Qiangwei and her group met two of them at once.
The city lord wanted to make friends with Qiangwei simply because he was attracted by her powerful background and strength, which could solve most of his problems.
After all, Lisa's successful example was right in front of him, and he had no reason not to be tempted, even though he had thought that Rose would be the next Holy See.
However, it is better than not getting any benefits from the Vatican and suffering everywhere.
Artelo was hesitant to speak what he wanted to say. It was not necessarily because he was nervous, but he kept organizing his words.
He was afraid that he would say something wrong and be beheaded by Qiangwei. Qiangwei saw through his little thoughts and it seemed that she still couldn't get involved too much.
If the other party has too much evidence in my hands, I will definitely not be able to sleep. But it will be different if it is someone around me.
After all, subordinates can be persuaded to rebel, and as long as they have the same interests, they can be friends.
Artelo and Qiangwei have no vested interests, and neither can offer the corresponding price or bargaining chips.
He was reluctant to speak, and Bri wanted to help and give him some suggestions several times, but he couldn't say anything.
"I've heard Brian talk about Lord Atlo's actions," Rose said calmly, "and I know the Lord's thoughts."
Qiangwei jokingly said, "I agree. You two can discuss the follow-up matters in detail."
"It's getting late. We need to prepare dinner later."
"Hefei, you stay and connect with them."
Hefei didn't understand why Qiangwei wanted to leave at this time, but she still agreed: "Yes."
Except for Hefei, everyone else went outside, and Jili went to arrange a room for Qiangwei to stay.
The others went to boil the potatoes and sprinkled some salt on them as they cooked together because there were so many people and the quantity was large.
Everyone went to help, but Qiangwei wandered around alone, looking at the exhausted figures of the slaves.
They struggled to survive, but unfortunately their slave owners did not give them the opportunity to work in order to protect them.
But wouldn’t it be more painful to be sold without food?
"Miss... Miss... Sister..." An old woman in a cage called Qiangwei in a broken voice.
Qiangwei immediately turned around and squatted down, looking at her calmly. The old woman saw Qiangwei squatting down.
He immediately knelt down on the ground with all his strength, and the people around him also knelt down with their heads bowed.
It was a crime for slaves to look at the faces of nobles. They would be killed and cursed, so they did not dare to look directly at Qiangwei.
"Just now, were you calling me? Old man?" Qiangwei said gently.
"Yes... excuse me for disturbing you... miss." The old woman was dressed in rags, her body covered in bruises, some of which were rotten and could not be healed.
"Dear lady... please... please be kind..." the old woman choked up and said, "Buy us... We... are guilty..."
"But... we want to survive and continue to atone for our sins..."
Qiangwei was somewhat moved, and the slaves before her also used all their might to say, "Please... buy us... give us a chance to atone for our sins... please..."
The narrow iron cage seemed even larger with everyone huddled and kneeling on the ground.
There were breathless cries in it, and Qiangwei felt mixed emotions when she saw the suffering right before her eyes.
The combined voices of dozens of people were not as loud as hers, and they were all shouting weakly.
"Okay." Qiangwei responded gently: "I promise you, I will buy you."
Rose's gentle voice echoed in the ears of many slaves, and the other slaves who were watching also knelt down and begged Rose to buy them.
Qiangwei slowly stood up and walked between the slaves on both sides: "From this moment on, you are innocent."
Rose's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it echoed in the slaves' ears. Some people looked at her with puzzled eyes.
Innocent? How could they be innocent? This was a punishment from God, a curse. They had to pay for their sins with their lives, so they were innocent?
No, this lady should be comforting us. It seems that dying like this would not be bad.
"Miss... Thank you for comforting us, but our birth itself is full of sin... This is the chance God gives us to live and atone for our sins." The old woman looked at Qiangwei gratefully.
Qiangwei still looked at her helplessly, with the smile on her lips never falling. She wanted to tell these suffering people the good news with a smile.
"But this is the sin that Lord Kagami personally absolved you of. I am merely the messenger."
Rose gently told everyone the news, and the slaves were all stunned.
"The God of Fire? It's... Lord God of Fire!"
"The great fire craftsman... Lord Fire God..."
"Forgive us..."
"We are innocent!"
The slaves were all scratching at the iron cages in disbelief. Some of the cages had thorns on them, and some people were directly stabbed in their excitement.
This should be what Brian prepared to manage disobedient slaves. Some of the slaves are very strong.
They had the power to resist, but their status as slaves left these powerful people with nowhere to go.
So it is very likely that he wanted to make trouble for Brian and had to use this method to trap them.
As long as you behave yourself, nothing will happen. Just be obedient.
Rose then added, "I am here to release you at the request of Lord Kagami."
Qiangwei found it a bit awkward for Hefei to call her "sir".
"Probably in these few days, you will be sent to the Kingdom of the God of Fire, and you will be blessed by the God of Fire for generations to come."
"The premise is that your faith is absolute loyalty to Lord Kagami. Betrayer will suffer a terrible fate."
Qiangwei said happily, and the old woman's eyes were slightly red.
"Thank you... kind lady."
Rose nodded and replied, "The country you are going to is called 'Stors,' which is a name taken from the last name of Hephistar, the god of fire."
"It's like the vastness of the Western and Northern Plains, where the seasons are mild and the mountains reach the sky."
Rose tilted her head and smiled as she described this holy place on earth to them: "Anyway, you'll know when the time comes."
"Surname? Does Lord Vulcan have a surname?" one of the slaves asked, seizing the blind spot.
"Yes, this is the price the God of Fire paid in front of the God of Creation to forgive your sins." Rose said nonsense seriously.
"In order to protect you, He divided His name into a surname and a given name, using the surname to give you a new identity and establish a new home."
"When you greet others, you can't say you are slaves produced by Osgili, right?"
Rose teased them gently, "Being from a certain country in Stos or saying that you are a slave is better."
The old woman's eyes gradually brightened, but she still asked the questions that were on everyone's mind.
"But... why did the Fire God forgive our sins only now... Are you bullying us... beautiful lady?"
Qiangwei's smile froze on her face. As expected, she couldn't escape this question.
The slaves mainly enjoyed listening to it, but it was still too far-fetched for reality.
