Duke of Herrington

Chapter 18 Poor Refugees
Since I don't have to think about the war in the south, I might as well focus on the mission.

There are indeed a lot of cows in his territory, and there are enough meat and eggs, but it is a bit difficult for everyone to eat.

Even if I have a lot of money to waste, there is no place to buy it now, so I can only breed by myself.
"Hey, isn't there a way to make these animals breed quickly?"

Ted sighed and lay down on the chair to take a nap.

"grown ups!"

"Nest C!" Chris was always evasive, and he flashed back after walking for a while, scaring Ted off his chair.

"My lord, when the patrol team went out to escort the iron ore mining team, they found a group of strange creatures with long ears. They speak the same language as us, but their bodies are a bit strange."

"Long ears? Could it be an elf? Is there really such a creature in this world? The system didn't make fun of me?" Ted frowned slightly, and turned to look at Chris: "Butler, what else do they have besides long ears?" features?"

"Features. Oh! By the way, they said that the skin color of this group of people is not quite right. It is not white, but tends to be between purple and blue. In short, it is strange! According to the speed of travel, they still have half I’ll be back in a few hours, why don’t we go and have a look together?”

Right now, idleness is idleness, and Ted sits here doing nothing. The research and development task has been assigned to outstanding citizens, and the blame has been thrown out, and he is an idler.

"Go! Let's go and see!"

According to the information described by the butler, combined with his gaming experience in his previous life, the one who came here should not be a blood elf or a night elf, but more like a night son.
If so, Ted must be ecstatic!
Blood elves and night elves always look awkward and aloof, almost meaningless, their complexion is either too white or too purple, they talk endlessly about magic or hide in deep mountains and old forests covered in leaves, they have no sense of human beauty !After all, Ted is not a monkey and doesn't like to climb trees.

But this Son of Night always has an inexplicable hazy beauty ~ the sexy figure with dreamy complexion, plus their main city full of breath, completely conforms to the aesthetics of human beings!At least these cut on Ted's aesthetics!

The exquisite facial features looming under the veil, and the breathtaking eyes that can see everything, if they can be displayed in front of my eyes in amazement, I will die without regret if I look at Ted with four eyes!

If my guess is correct, it is really the Son of the Night!Then Ted has to trick a daughter-in-law here if he wants to break his scalp!
Another bottle of wine brewed by them
Think of wine. In this day and age, there should be no tools to crush grapes
In other words, if they also make wine, it must be made by the young ladies with their feet!

At a glance, the big basin like a pool is full of ladies and sisters who only wear swimsuits. They are back to back, looking down carefully for the grapes that have not been crushed~
In the distance, there are some girls who just arrived!These stunning beauties took off their stockings. Bare feet ~ slipped into the big basin, stepping on the plump and round grapes.
'Patta.Papa'

Suddenly, a disobedient grape slipped between the big toe and the second toe. Seeing this scene, the young lady frowned slightly, bit her lips lightly, showing her holy white teeth, and unconsciously let out a sound of milk in her throat. Squeeze the grapes
It is their honor to be crushed by the jade feet, and the splash of grape juice hits the clothes. The ladies and sisters are enjoying the sunshine and continue to sweat under the scorching sun.
After the sweet sweat and refreshing grape juice are mixed and fermented, a bottle of fine wine is born!
"If I can taste such a bottle myself, I will spend as much money as I want!"

It doesn't matter if a thousand-year-old grandma Yezhizi didn't wash her feet and spit in it, as long as she doesn't look like an aunt, it's acceptable!

"My God, what am I thinking!?" A villain popped out of Ted's heart, trying his best to make up these images, and Ted himself couldn't stop it!
Ted didn't dare to think about it anymore. Unconsciously, he laughed, "Hey hey hey hey hey." It scared the butler beside him!
This hateful perverted thought is lingering in my mind. Ever since the system announced the task, my thoughts have been out of control
Now!Ted can't wait to taste the 'Nip', and even wants to drink a whole bottle!

Chris frowned and looked at the lord in front of him, always feeling that he was thinking about something strange, so he asked in a low voice: "My lord? What's the matter? Eh? My lord, you have a nosebleed!"

"Huh?" Ted quickly took out a handkerchief and blocked his nose to cover up his embarrassment!
When he came back to his senses, Ted stopped thinking wildly, but fell into deep thought. He couldn't figure it out, how could these people appear here?Could it be that they came from the snow mountain?

"Impossible!" Ted shook his head fiercely, dispelling this strange idea.

This continent is divided into two by snow-capped mountains, like the denser Himalayas. It is simply impossible to climb over the mountains and come to this side from the other side!

Even if the temperature is not considered, the snow all year round will greatly reduce the speed of travel. It may take a month to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the mountains in the middle are not as simple as one or two mountains.

"Then how did this group of people get here?"

Half an hour later, Ted arrived at the east gate with the butler and guards.

In the distance, the wagon convoy pulled the mined iron ore, led the workers who went out, and a group of skinny purple creatures slowly moved towards Valentine.

"Housekeeper, are they criminals?"

"My lord, of course not."

"Since they are not criminals, why should they be handcuffed? What about the iron ring around the neck?" Ted raised his right hand and gently scratched his chin.
The human empire has abolished slavery since 1 years ago, because slaves would rob the free people of the empire of their jobs, and eventually cause normal people to have no food to eat. After these people revolted many times, the emperor abolished this unfair treatment .

Although it is not for the sake of those slaves, it is just to let ordinary people have stable jobs, but the result is always good~
Chris stared at the skinny purple creatures with bull's eyes. After seeing them clearly, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he looked back to Ted and explained: "My lord, these are not our chains. Besides, There must be five thousand of these people, where do we have so many chains?"

"That's weird." Ted stopped thinking about it, but motioned the people around him to walk down the city wall together.

Such a group of elves with extremely poor physical fitness are still carrying shackles. This mysterious identity makes Ted want to study and understand.

After the gate of the city was opened, the iron ore team took the transported resources to the new workshop next to the city lord's mansion.

And the purple elves came to Ted under the leadership of an outstanding citizen.

"My lord, please forgive my self-assertion. It is I who called on everyone to distribute the rations in their hands to them."

These elf refugees did have water bags hanging on their bodies, and they still held sandwiches brought by the workers in their hands
"No, you did a good job~" Ted didn't blame the excellent citizen in front of him, but motioned him to continue working.

After everyone entered the city, the gate was slowly closed, and the refugees just stood there in a daze, at a loss.

After a while, a brave young man tremblingly came down to Ted with the support of his companions.

"My lord." As soon as the voice fell, everyone knelt down collectively as if they had agreed in advance.

"My lord, please take us in. We are excellent slaves. As long as we are rewarded with food, we can do a lot of work!"

"This..." Ted was stunned. After he saw everyone's faces clearly, his heart couldn't bear the huge pressure and beat fast! 'Click! 'All of a sudden, it made him dizzy and unsteady.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Chris seemed to be used to such a shriveled body, and the miserable refugees in front of him didn't let him do anything.

On the cold stone slabs, there were row after row of kneeling elf refugees, like five thousand lifeless walking corpses.

Their eyes are empty, their eyes are dull, and their sunken eye sockets tell the story of their miserable lives. There is no hope for life in their eyes. It seems that having a bite to eat has become their only appeal.

An ordinary sandwich becomes a delicacy in their mouths. Just taking a bite, the process of chewing will make them cry. It seems that this is a kind of enjoyment, a gift from food.

In the memory of Ted's poor life, he has never seen such a humble creature
In the year of the catastrophe, when the empire was the poorest, beggars like this had never been seen on the street. Their skin and bones had reached the point where it was hard to look directly at them. The sunlight could even penetrate their skin and hit the ground. The internal organs in their bodies are clearly visible, the marks of fractures, the shattered welts, it seems that they will split apart in the next moment.

He dared to say that as long as he used a little force with his hand, he could pierce the skin of the elf in front of him
"Give me water." Ted's eyes darkened, and he fell backwards.
Seeing this, the surrounding guards quickly brought water and chairs.

"My lord, do you want to drive them away? They look too weird, like demons!" Chris whispered in Ted's ear.

"My lord, please don't drive us away, just give us some bread for two or three days! If there is no food, your excrement is fine!"

"I can shine shoes, and I can also serve as a step for you! You can step on me to get into your carriage!"

"My lord! You must have never tasted a foreign woman, just give me something to eat, and you will be satisfied!"

"My lord, I can sing and play musical instruments!"

Ted turned his head slightly, closed his eyes, and said to Chris next to him: "They are too pitiful. There are so many empty places in the city. Let them live in, give food and charcoal, and send another one in a few days." The representative came to me."

"Now, take me back"

"It's an adult."

If it was [-] corpses, it would only shock Ted and lament the injustice of fate, and let these miserable people be relieved in advance!But the problem is that they are still alive, but one foot has stepped into hell, crumbling in the wind, and they may die at any time.

No one wants to see a fresh and innocent life die in front of his eyes. Ted is not afraid of dead corpses, what he is afraid of is living corpses, and his heart can't stand it just by looking at them.

People can eat meat, but they must never see animals being slaughtered
Watched by Chris, Ted was carried into the carriage and returned to the Santo's Mansion.
