League of Legends Millennium Warlord
Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Coward, Man, Father
Before the sun had risen to its highest point, Zilam touched the plain of Nocmorch.
"Strange, why are there so many people? What are they busy with?"
As far as the eye can see, the villagers are enthusiastically cutting down the forest with axes, and the carpenter uses the saw to saw the wooden poles on the spot, and the villagers carry them to the west.
"Since when is there a logging camp here?"
Soon, Chiram noticed that Noxus soldiers in armor were guarding the villagers. The atmosphere between the two did not look like the relationship between an overseer and a slave.
How can an overseer help a slave?
There was some doubt in his heart, but Zilam didn't dare to act rashly, he only dared to lean down among the bushes from a distance, observing everyone carefully.
Soon, a little girl with pockmarked face in armor and military attire stood on a high place, shaking her thick braids and speaking with a slightly rough voice.
"Everyone, do a good job! It doesn't matter whether you were Mombians, Demacians, or even refugees. From now on, you are all citizens of the Emerald Territory! You are the people under the rule of Lord Leicester!
Lord Leicester has spoken! As long as you work hard, you can exchange for food and water! Those who want to settle in the Emerald Collar can participate in the construction of log houses in the West End! Participating workers have priority in obtaining residency! There are only 100 places in the first round! Seats are limited, first come first served! "
Hearing the little girl's words, the working crowd became more commotion and worked harder.
It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Zilam, who was lying in the bushes, had chapped lips and was bitten by mosquitoes several times on his body, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
"It's time for lunch! Let's put down the work in our hands first, don't worry, line up, everyone has it!"
Carrying a heavy sack, a muscular man followed the Noxian soldier to the lumberyard.
The working folk put down their work one after another, and lined up in front of the Noxus soldiers.
"One piece of bread per person, half a pickled fish, if you want to drink water, you can go to the river to get it yourself, there are crocks here!"
If bread and half a salted fish could be tolerated, Zilam couldn't bear it any longer when he heard the Noxus soldier talking about water.
If the Noxians didn't have crossbows, they might be able to run themselves.
Thinking about it this way, Zilam got up from the ground and was about to touch the dagger to go there, but after hesitating, he threw it in the bushes, and while walking slowly towards the crowd, he was also ready to escape at any time.
"There are people over there."
"I see... Hey! The people over there!"
Hearing the Noxus soldier calling him, Chiram froze in place, already turned sideways.
"Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you!"
Following the strategy for dealing with refugees, the Noxus soldier took out a piece of wheat bread from the sack and looked at Zilam who looked like a beggar.
"Do you want something to eat? For the first time, just register."
"Registration?"
Chiram was a little puzzled.
"It is to record your name and information through the sheepskin scroll, so that you will become a citizen of the Emerald Land. Not only will you be protected by the law of the Emerald Land, but you can also obtain food and shelter through hard work. This is Lord Lester The promulgated policy cannot be faked."
Seeing that the Noxus soldier did not cut off his head with a weapon, Zilam moved over slowly with suspicion.
Such behavior, on the contrary, caused dissatisfaction among others.
"Hey! You bastard! Are you a mouse? Why are you making such a fuss? No one here can eat you! You are afraid of a fart!"
"Yeah! Who doesn't know that fighting and killing people in the Emerald collar under Lord Leicester will lose their heads. Don't waste everyone's time. Everyone is still waiting for food to eat! It would be better to build a house less Staying one day late, how can there be so much time to waste”
"Don't be afraid, I was a refugee like you before. Lord Leicester of the Emerald Collar is very good. As long as you don't break the law, no one will hurt you..."
Hearing what everyone said, Zilam's vigilance was restrained a lot.
He didn't believe the words of Noxus soldiers, but he was willing to believe the words of refugees like himself.
"What's your name?"
"Zi... Ram."
"Is Chiram right? Are you alone? Do you have any family?"
"Just...just me..."
"I see you are hesitating, it doesn't seem like you are telling the truth,
Let me make it clear to you in advance, if you are found to be lying, you will be arrested and executed as a spy. I really don't think it is necessary to hide your family, because in Emerald Leader, as long as you do not break the law, you will not You will not suffer any harm, and having a family can also make you integrate into the emerald collar faster. "
Seeing the extraordinarily serious expression of the Noxus, the trembling Chiram thought about it, and decided to tell the truth.
"Actually I have two daughters, they depend on me to live, they will die if I die, so I hid them, I don't trust you, I don't know what you will do to my daughter , so I can't tell you their whereabouts, please don't hurt me, please, I have to go back and take care of my daughter..."
Chiram knelt down in fear, kowtowing to the Noxus soldiers, but everyone froze on the spot.
Originally thought, this is a beggar and refugee who is as timid as a mouse, timid.
However, it is not.
This is a great father who is willing to give up all his dignity for his daughter.
The contempt and ridicule in the eyes gradually disappeared, and there was more respect and shame in the eyes of everyone.
This is the respect a father, a real man deserves.
No one will laugh at a father who is willing to kneel for his daughter, unless he is not a man, or an out-and-out beast.
"Get up, no one here can hurt you, I promise, whoever hurts you and your daughter, I will be the first to forgive!"
"Brother, my name is Mota, if you have any troubles, come to me directly..."
"Okay, I know everyone is a good person, don't be too enthusiastic to scare this man."
The Noxus soldier personally helped Zilam up with both hands, and the sincere respect on his face made Zilam stunned.
This is the gaze he never saw in Demacia and Mombia, but now he sees it in the emerald collar.
The people here understood what they had paid for their daughter, and did not laugh at themselves.
They identify with themselves.
Zilam suddenly felt aggrieved, and his nose felt a little sour, but he held back.
The hard life has long told him that tears are the most precious thing in this world, but also the least valuable thing.
Preciousness is in one's own eyes, and worthlessness is in the eyes of others.
The two people who felt that their tears were valuable have already passed away.
"I don't know who you are, but you're a great dad, I can see that."
The Noxus soldier said in a deep voice.
"How about this, I will apply for an exception to the superior officer, and use my own head to guarantee you that you are not a spy, nor did you come here to defraud food,
In the record, I will first write that you have two daughters, and I will not fill in the names of the daughters or other information for you. You can live in the jade collar for a few days,
You can get an extra double portion of food here for your daughter to bring back, so that you can have enough time to find out whether the Emerald Collar is suitable for you to live in, and it can also save you from running around for your daughter's livelihood.
One week is enough time for you to consider whether you want to take your daughter to settle here. "
Looking at the stunned man in front of him, he handed the registration scroll and quill to the tall man, and the Noxus soldier gave Zilam a warm hug.
"Welcome to the Emerald Collar, my friend Chiram."
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!!"
