The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 50 Philip

After being forced into a group of human slaves and feeling that he had spent more than a hundred gold coins in vain, Allen said goodbye to Sam dejectedly and returned to the inn with Hua Snake and the two of them carrying full luggage.

Soon, the dozens of slaves were led by Sam, strung together with ropes, and sent to the Gaohan station where Allen and the others were staying. This made Allen busy and reopened a simple Datong shop. For these guys, they also had to spend 4 silver coins to have the innkeeper prepare several large barrels of rough food and deliver it to Ke Zhan, so that these dirty guys could have a feast.

Although the meal was not rich enough, it was the most filling meal these slaves had eaten in recent times. They were not too picky, and all of them ate with gusto. This was the human aristocratic slave that Allen valued very much. , when facing these rough meals, his face was full of reluctance, but the spoon placed in front of him was not moved at all.

"Hey, what's your name? How old are you?"

Allen couldn't stand it anymore and ordered other tribesmen to take care of the slaves. Then he called the human slave to his residence alone and asked.

"I am a knight from the Principality of Sky, a despicable greenskin, please pay attention to your attitude!!"

Even though the human nobles are slaves, they are not weak at all, and they still show a arrogant attitude towards Allen.

"Snapped!"

Allen is not used to human beings' bad habits. Although he doesn't care about the attitude of human slaves, after all, this guy is a slave he bought with his own money, but he doesn't cooperate with his inquiries at all. He really deserves to be punished. , immediately slapped him hard in the face, leaving a clearly visible five-finger palm mark on the other person's pale cheek.

"Pay attention to your attitude. My tribe does not raise idle people. If you don't cooperate with me, I don't mind letting my tribe enjoy a barbecue of human flesh."

Allen frowned and glanced fiercely at the human noble.

The human being was also fooled. The opponent's completely unexpected actions, combined with the strong murderous intention, finally gave in, and replied with a trembling voice: "Return to the master, my name is Philip Smith. I was originally a knight of the Principality of the Sky. Now 44 years old.”

Philip has never left the territory of the duchy since he was born, and has never had contact with wild creatures. He was transported to the Elf Kingdom because of a plot by the duchy’s enemies, who wanted to annex his knightly territory. Fortunately, his noble status plus His ability to read has not been tortured too much by the Slave Chamber of Commerce. It's just that the previous lenient treatment made him confused about the situation, and he still wanted to die when facing the new master. However, after being taught a slap in the face, he regained his identity, and he can be regarded as a wise man.

Although he had read in books that most of the natives in the wilderness were cannibals, it was far inferior to experiencing it in person. Philip secretly observed the serious attitude on Allen's face, but he did not feel that the other party was just lying to him.

"Tell me about you and what skills you have, so that I can see if you are worth my food expenses."

The fierce light on Allen's face did not disappear, and he continued to ask in a hoarse tone. Although he knew that the other party's greatest use to him was literacy, he still hoped that the other party would have other useful abilities.

"To tell you my master, I have mastered both human writing and universal writing. I am also proficient in archery and riding."

Phillip's previous arrogant attitude was due to his joyful expression when he noticed Allen was able to buy him. He knew to some extent what abilities the other party valued in him. However, in the face of the strong murderous intention, his fragile nerves could no longer think freely and racked his brains. Think about what abilities you have that can be considered useful. "I can also walk cats and amuse dogs. I have more than a dozen hounds in my manor, and each of them is a good helper for hunting."

While Phillip was thinking about his abilities, he observed the changes in the expression on Allen's face. He saw that the other person seemed unmoved by the various abilities he reported, and he was not even satisfied with his abilities after all.

"I, I can also calculate and make statistics. I usually take care of the expenses of my manor."

As a last resort, Phillip could only bluff and think of abilities that he actually did not have in order to gain Allen's favor.

Obviously, Allen is very satisfied with his ability. Fili of the Flash Silver Caravan can easily complete complex arithmetic in his eyes. For Allen, it may be helpful to the family's daily expenses in the future.

Although it is not clear why tribes in remote areas of the wilderness always cling to their own sect and do not communicate with the outside world, after Allen's trip to Thornburg, he has long planned to visit the Thunder Tribe more often if he has the opportunity in the future. Especially in the future, when the tribe is short of food, they will need to buy it from the outside world instead of praying to God and gods for blessing and relying on game produced in the wilderness.

In order to communicate with the outside world, in addition to the necessary common sense, Allen believes that calculation is also an extremely important skill. Otherwise, you may be taken advantage of by cunning and shameless kobolds and human businessmen without knowing it.

But what Allen didn't know was that Philip's so-called calculation and statistical skills caused his own manor to suffer, basically losing money every year. In the end, even after he was drafted into the army and captured during the war between the principality and the enemy, the manor continued to lose money. No ransom can be paid.

However, Philip will naturally not tell Allen these inside stories. What he is thinking about now is how to please Allen, the master, and then find opportunities to escape in the future, and then return to his principality to make other plans.

Allen didn't know much about common sense, but his mind was still flexible. He was worried that Philip would deceive him, so he asked him a few arithmetic problems to calculate. Of course, most of these arithmetic problems are relatively simple. After all, Allen has not been exposed to arithmetic for a long time. Even the simple common sense of counting can only be used to count hundreds, and calculations can only calculate addition and subtraction within 30. No matter how easy it was, Phillip was still able to calculate the additions and subtractions within 30. After several rounds of tests, Allen finally got the other party's approval.

"call."

Phillip secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This green-skinned man looked fierce, but his brain was really not very good. Seeing that the other party was struggling to calculate within 30, Philip felt a little more confident about his future identity as an escaped slave, but it was difficult to show it at this time, so he was more submissive in front of Allen.

"Very good, it seems you are not useless. As long as you obey me from now on, I will not treat you badly."

Allen pretended to be satisfied, and at the same time imitated Phillip's previous method of wooing him, patting Phillip on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Are you hungry? I'll have someone prepare a new meal for you. After eating, I'll have someone boil water for you to wash up."

"Thank you master."
