Original Vampire

The sky was dark, and black clouds shrouded the earth as if the edge could not be seen.

The fighting in Ice Rock City has stopped, but the hearts of the people are still heavy.

Especially those slaves who surrendered. They were re-fettered and squatted shiver coldly at the feet of the city wall with despair in their hearts.

"Hey, lame, do you think Lord Lord is going to starve us to death?"

The lame slave touched his head and muttered: "What am I? I will know."

"Does it need to be thoughtful?" Another slave said weakly, slumping on the ground, "Now the city is already short of food, how can Lord Lord waste food on us?"

"Then... shall we just wait for death like this?"

"Otherwise? Do you still want to kill it?"

Ask about the slave's body. Trembling restrainedly, it seemed that he remembered the terrifying scene of Black Cavalry's charge, and suddenly shut up and said nothing.

The breath of despair grew stronger.

The lifelessness of the slaves has even attracted a few vultures hovering in midair.

They are quietly waiting for the upcoming feast.

He was lame but a little unwilling. He was still young and didn't want to die. He hesitated for a long while watching the soldiers patrolling all around, and seemed to have finally plucked up his courage.

But when he was struggling to stand up and ready to walk towards the soldiers, he suddenly saw the city gate not far away open.

Amid the clattering of horse hooves, a large-scale caravan slowly drove into Ice Rock City.

The lame doesn't care about caravans, he only cares about food.

"My lord, my lord..."

"Are you calling me?" The soldier looked at the lame leg that was approaching, his right hand grasped the hilt of the knife, and said vigilantly, "Stand Stay where you are, don’t get closer!"

"Yes, yes."

"What's the matter with you?"

"My lord, I'm so hungry Nothing, can you give me something to eat..." The lame hunched his waist and prayed, "I have a lot of strength. I can help you with your work and do anything!"

"Don't worry. , I will arrange for you to work soon."

"Then...is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, as long as you are willing to work!"

p>

"Really?" I can't believe that such a good thing actually happens.

"What did I lie to you." The soldier waved his hand impatiently, "Go back and stay honestly."

The lame did not go back, but nervously asked: "My lord, my lord, isn't there a shortage of food in the city now? How can we still give us food?"

The soldier pointed to the caravan entering the city: "Do you know what those cars are carrying?" "

The lame shook his head foolishly.

"It's food!" The soldier said proudly, "Lord Lord brought back a large amount of food from the semi-elf kingdom, enough for you to eat!"

"Really...really "The lame leg's eyes glowed, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

The soldier no longer wanted to take care of this annoying slave, and waved his hand to let him go back quickly.

The lame legs and two legs softened, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and kept kowtow in the direction moved towards Hongbao, mutter incantations:

"Thank you Lord Lord, praise Lord Lord!"

His weird behavior also aroused the curiosity of other slaves, and they gathered around to inquire.

Then, Lame told the other slaves the good news he had just received.

Soon, the news spread quickly like a plague, and more and more slaves began to learn to be lame, knelt on the ground and kept kowtow, praising the benevolent lord.

In an instant, the entire Ice Rock City seemed to come alive, and the death engulfing the city gradually disappeared, and the frightened vultures fluttered their wings and disappeared.

It didn’t take long for the soldiers to divide the slaves into groups of about ten people. Each group was led by a soldier and assigned to different tasks, such as repairing city walls, cleaning streets, To build a refugee camp...

The lame leg was assigned to a task of repairing a house in the city. When he followed the leading soldier to the collapsed house, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed——

Because he remembered that he had rushed into this house and snatched some things...

With a trace of shame, he immediately stepped forward to work with his lame leg.

A slave next to him asked the leading soldier with some uncertainty: "My lord, when do we have something to eat?"

"There will be at noon, hurry up and do it. Live!"

"Okay, good!"

A crowd of slaves immediately got busy without regard to hunger and exhaustion when they heard something to eat.

……

It's noon at last, and the lame, already exhausted, squeezed into the long slave line and walked to the place to receive food.

I don't know how long he has gone, he finally smelled a faint smell of meat.

Grumbling.

For a time, the sound of drooling came and went one after another.

The lame leg stretched his neck and looked forward, but only vaguely saw a high platform and a huge iron pot on it.

After a long wait, the lame finally came to the high platform.

The soldier handed him three slices of black bread and a bowl of steaming broth.

It was said that it was broth, but in fact, there was no shadow of meat at all, only a layer of fat floating on it and a light smell of meat, which proved that it was indeed not water, but broth.

Faced with such food, the lame cried directly.

It's not that the food is too bad, but very good.

As a slave, he has never eaten meat in his entire life.

Now that I can have broth to drink, the lame feels that he is worth it in his entire life!

Dip it in the broth, stuff the brown bread into the belly with a few bites of the lame leg, and then it is not too hot, and the broth in the bowl is poured directly into the belly in one breath.

Feeling the warmth radiating from the abdomen to the whole body, my lame leg suddenly felt full of energy.

"My lord, after finishing work in the afternoon, do you have anything to eat?"

"Of course there is."

"What about tomorrow?"

"There will be tomorrow too."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"You will be there forever!" The soldier was angry and stared at his lame. Lord Lord works and naturally has food to eat."

At this moment, the lame has no idea what to say. Lord Lord is in his heart as if he is already at the same height as Lord of Radiance.

"It's not just food." The soldiers gathered their own group of slaves and explained, "There are points."

"Points?" The slaves looked at each other in blank dismay, I don’t know what it means at all.

"Can the points... be eaten?" Lame asked trembling with fear.

The soldier sneered, shook his head and said: "Points cannot be eaten. But it is of great use."

Before the slaves can continue to ask questions, the soldier announced: "This morning The most serious work is the lame. Everyone has no opinion?"

The slaves shook their heads. The lame is indeed the one who does the most work today, and everyone sees it.

"Okay, I will be lame for one point this morning." The soldier immediately took out a roll of parchment and began to record it.

The lame leg is still at a loss: "My lord, what's the use of points... on earth?"

"Points can help you get rid of slave status and become free people!"

"Freedmen?"

Now the rest of the slaves can't sit still anymore. They crowded around the soldiers and asked: "My lord, how many points can you earn? Become a freedman?"

"I don't know." The soldiers spread their hands. "Lord Lord said that there will be a competition every month. The ten slaves with the most points in the city can become freedmen. !"

Wow——

The slaves screamed in excitement.

They don't know how many slaves there are in the city, and how rare it is to have ten monthly quotas.

However, they have already seen hope-the hope of a class transition!

This kind of hope has given them a new look, as if they had completely become another person.

When the work in the afternoon started again, all the slaves were crazy and rushed to work, for fear of being beaten by their companions.

A fanatical mood gradually enveloped Ice Rock City.
