Become the city lord from today

"Bang puff……"

Avili pulled her feet out of the snow. The snow here had reached her knees. After two or three days of traveling, she was finally reaching Blade City.

"call……"Avili exhaled a breath of hot breath, her face was full of fatigue. She didn't sleep well at night. It was too cold, even if she was covered with a thick animal skin coat.

"After climbing through the woods in front of you, you can reach Blade City."Avery put away the animal skin map in her hand, which Bella gave to her before leaving.

She thought of Bella and couldn't help but sigh,"I hope her choice will not be wrong, otherwise... if the princess His Highness knew that Bella would do such a stupid thing, and he would just laugh until his stomach hurts."

"Boom puff, boom puff……"

With a snow pit at her feet, Avery strenuously walked in the woods. After walking for half an hour, she came to the edge of the woods and saw a city on the flat land in the distance, surrounded by some houses.

Avili put on a little disguise, wrapping the wolf ears with cloth, tucking the wolf tail into the hem of her clothes, wrapping the sword in both hands with linen, and then walked towards Blade City.

As she approached, Avili saw a variety of houses, including wooden houses and houses with earth walls. The architectural styles were also diverse, including oval, triangular, flat-roofed wooden sheds, pointed-top thatched ones... …

And there are still many houses that have been crushed by snow, and frozen corpses can be seen everywhere; of course there are more people, including humans and orcs, but many of them seem to be in very poor physical condition, some are as skinny as a stick, and have double The numb eyes are the same regardless of adults or children.

The children are a little better. In addition to their physical condition, some of them can smile, but the adults are mostly confused and depressed.

Avili knew that these people were all slaves, slaves belonging to the owner of Blade City. As for why these slaves were allowed to live outside the city without anyone to guard them?

This is about Blade City. This is a city of slavery. Eighty percent of the people in the city are slaves. It is also a favorite city for slave traders.

The food is all in the hands of the city lord. Every day, the city lord will only distribute a little wheat soup to prevent people from starving to death; and, most importantly, the slaves outside the city are low-quality goods, and those living in the city are high-priced goods. '.

If slaves living outside the city want to escape, then go ahead, especially in winter. You are guaranteed to die if you can't escape very far.

The biggest change between cities in this era lies in the governance methods of city lords. Sometimes, the differences between two cities are very big. After all, there are many strange nobles.

"Bang puff puff puff……"

The sound of a group of footsteps hitting the snow and the sound of heavy breathing made Avili hide quickly. She didn't want to be caught and sold as a slave.

Not far away, there were seven or eight slaves holding a wooden board with their hands high. An arrogant man sat on it. His eyes were looking around with disgust.

"Hey, hey... listen, the city lord wants to dig a moat. Hundreds of strong men will have wheat porridge to drink while working."

Many slaves know him. He is a clerk in Blade City and one of the people responsible for managing slaves outside the city.

"I, I come, I have the strength

"My son needs wheat porridge, I'll come, I'll come……"

"…………"

The feeble cry is just to survive, even if a bowl of wheat porridge is only half full

"Bitch, are you so skinny? Do you want to trick someone into eating wheat porridge? Get out of here!"The clerical steward opened his mouth and spat wildly.

The slaves, still unmoved, crowded towards the clerical steward. They needed that bowl of wheat porridge. If this continues, most of them will not be able to survive this winter and will be killed. Starve to death and freeze to death

"……"Avili's whole body is hidden in the shadows, her orange eyes are full of coldness, digging a moat on a snowy day, is this going to make people freeze to death from exhaustion?

"Okay, we have enough people, hurry up and follow us, don't come if you are late."The clerical steward knocked on the wooden board. The faces of the slaves below were full of pain. They trembled with their hands and tried to support the board to turn their heads and walked towards Blade City with the clerical steward. Behind them were three hundred slaves, including orcs and humans. ;In Blade City, there is no distinction between orcs and humans. They only have one identity, that is, slaves.

"How many times has this happened? We just took away 300 people yesterday, and we took away another 300 people today."

"Aren't they coming back? Or live in the city? Got bought again?"

"Maybe, maybe live in another place"

"How is it possible, yesterday... several children starved to death!"

"…………This is life!"

Avery listened to all this silently, with cold eyes flashing, walking in the shadows, sneaking towards Blade City. The orc who was suspected to be Her Royal Highness was in Blade City.

She followed the team, trying not to Let herself make a noise, and the further she walked, the more surprised she became. The direction they were walking in was not Blade City at all, but another direction. It was a small hillside with only a few solitary pine trees on it.

Avili was no longer following, Hiding behind a stone, I looked at a few people on horseback under the pine tree. They were laughing and holding knight swords in their hands. They were all in their twenties and wore exquisite knight armor. They were dressed like this , Avili immediately knew their identities, they were all nobles!

"What are these people doing here? Pick slaves?"Avery frowned, she always felt that something was not right.

"ah! No, no……"

"Don't kill me, I don't want wheat porridge anymore, my son is still here...ah……"

"………"

"Hahaha...run away. Run away as much as you want. If you don't run away, I'll kill you."

"These 'horse thieves' are really weak. My father will praise me for my bravery when I return, right? Ha ha ha ha……"

"………"

Avili's orange eyes trembled as she watched several nobles play the game of 'Knights chasing horse thieves'

"In this damn world, everything is evil!"

Avery gritted her teeth. She often thought, why are people so despicable? She had already imagined people to be ten times more evil, but in fact, every time she saw them, they were even worse than she imagined. Ten times more evil.

Every time, Averie would imagine the world to be a little better, but... is there any good in this world?
