After leaving the market, there is no need to go to the entertainment area, as the port is undergoing major renovations.
Rajer plucked up the courage and proposed to visit the outer city, and Kazama naturally agreed to this request.
A few hours later, the exhausted Rajer, regardless of his aristocratic image, sat down on the branch of a low tree beside the road.Rest in the shade.
It was just past noon, and when Xi Anmin saw Fengjian traveling, he immediately offered food and water.
The food distributed by the city lord's palace is rationed, and the food provided by Xi'an people is what they save themselves.
The cooled wheat cakes are a bit hard and can only be swallowed with cool water.The dried fish has no other taste except salty.But for slaves who used to share food with livestock, this was already a rare delicacy.
Rajer was also assigned such food. To be honest, the Tandan noble boy who was accustomed to enjoying all kinds of delicacies was a little overwhelmed when he looked at the food in his hands.
But thinking of the group of slender Xi'anmin who were weak due to year-round hunger and offering food to Fengjian with expressions of expectation and reverence, Rajer's tangled expression instantly became firm.
He gritted his teeth and stuffed the food that didn't taste good into his mouth.
While chewing the food in his mouth, he sat on the treetop and looked at the vast fields being developed not far away.
He was in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking.

The fun lasted until the afternoon, when the sun moved from the sky to the west and was no longer eager.
Xian, who is a big man, was given a rough tour by Rajer.
By the end of the day, Rajer was no longer as excited and lively as he was in the morning, maybe he felt a little tired.I just watched the scenery of Xi'an silently and didn't ask any more questions.
After the tour, Kazama sent Rajel back to the mansion where Enoch stayed.
Rajer saluted to Kazama meticulously: "Thank you for your hospitality today, Mr. Kazama. I am really flattered that you can take time out of your busy schedule."
"If one day you can come to Tandan as a guest, please let me entertain you well."
"I hope there will be such an opportunity..." Kazama smiled.
After watching Rajer enter the mansion, Kazama withdrew his gaze and left with Genis.
Walking on the street, Fengjian said: "Thank you for your hard work, Genis. It is a rare opportunity for you to take a rest, but you wasted most of the day with me."
"There is no such thing..."
Genis shook his head and said with a look of reverence on his face.
The lord in front of him and his immediate superior, Spartacus, who was also a fighter, were both people he respected extremely.
Regarding this lord, Gurness may have had some doubts and doubts in the past, but now, Gurness is willing to hand over his name to Kazama.
"In fact, today's tour is also my first experience, and it's thanks to you."
It was absolutely impossible to visit Xi'an in such a leisurely way during the slave life in the past.Now, everyone can do this.This is what freedom is all about.
"You can go back later. I also gave Ymir a few days off. You and your family can just have a good time together."
"Ah."
Genis nodded slightly, and when the man mentioned his sister, wife and children in the wind, a gentle expression appeared on the face of the man as tough as steel.
Freedom is what he pursues, and parallel happiness is also what he pursues. For this reason, he is willing to sacrifice his life to challenge the evil dragon that the old Xi'an order has transformed into.
Now, these dreams have been realized.With the establishment of the new order, the original confusion about the future has now become a bright future that can be seen.
After bidding farewell to Kazama, he did not intend to go home immediately, but to go to the market.When he went to the market with Kazama before, he saw some items that his sister, wife, and children would all like.It just so happened that my salary for joining the army was also paid.
Putting these thoughts aside for the time being, Genis hesitated, but still said:
"Lord Kazama, you seem to have a high regard for the Tandan nobleman named Rajel..."
Although the envoy sent by Tandan has a high status in Tandan and is a great nobleman who has been married to the city lord for generations, compared with the current Lord of Xi'an, his status is still far behind.
As for the tour guide, even if Pasa was sent to complete it, it was more than enough and not rude. Kazama personally took Rajer on a tour, which was considered condescending.What's more, the other party is not the envoy, but just a nephew of the envoy.
In Gurness's eyes, Kazama's behavior was completely unnecessary.
This can only be explained by the fact that Kazama valued that young man particularly.
"Yes, I do like that Rajel."
There was no need to hide this kind of thing, Kazama admitted it openly.
"What do you think of that Rajer?" Kazama asked Genis.
Kazama asked, and Genis fell silent. After a while, he spoke:
"To be honest, I don't hate that boy."
In Genis' view, neither Tandan's aristocrats nor Xi'an's old aristocrats are good people. They are all the same breed who enslave, oppress, and exploit slaves.
But that young man left a good impression on Genis during this short time together.
For example, when we were in the outer city before, farmers offered food.Genis is well aware of the urinary nature of nobles. Even if a farmer offers such food out of good intentions, the normal nobles of the Three Stone City will probably regard it as a great shame and humiliation.
But the young man accepted the kindness and sincerely thanked him. This was not due to the coercion of Fengjian, but because he accepted and reciprocated the kindness out of his heart.
That kind of kindness was not the kindness of a slave owner to his slaves, but the kindness of the young man who was willing to treat them equally as untouchables.
Just this one detail was enough for Gurness to slightly change his view of the young man.
"Yes, actually, this young man named Rajel is quite respected by the slaves in Tandan."
"Even though I was far away in Xi'an, I had heard about his deeds, but I didn't expect that he would visit Xi'an with his grandfather this time."
Genis was a little surprised when he heard Kazama say this.A young man far away in Tandan could actually be watched by his master.
However, he soon understood.
My lord has a master who is proficient in espionage.Before the Forbidden Land was opened, Lord Bai Mian had already arrived in Xi'an and contacted them, the low-level slaves.
Now that Xi'an has settled down, His Excellency Baimei has disappeared. He may have sneaked into Bloodstone and Blackstone cities to obtain information and connect his compatriots.
Thinking of this, Genis's expression became solemn.
Now he is not a fighter, but a naturalized soldier.The training he received in the military camp made him vaguely aware that the battle was not over yet.
Xi'an seems to have a new order, but in fact, Slaver's Bay is full of dangers.
Tandan sent envoys and presented gifts, seemingly with good intentions.
But Xi'an's vigilance seems to indicate that the stability of Slaver's Bay only exists on the surface.
The change in Genis' expression was noticed by Kazama.
Fengjian smiled: "Stability and peace are all established after disputes. How can there be peace without experiencing disputes?"
"Xian is going through changes..."
Looking at the extensive renovation and construction, Xi'an Fengjian sighed again.
"This is a good thing. It is a good thing for us, but it is a huge bad thing for Old Xi'an, including Tandan and Qiaoya."
"They fear change and wish for everything to stay the same."
"The fundamental contradiction lies here. Unless we are willing to stop these changes, disputes are absolutely inevitable."
Stable and stagnant, such a civilization is of no value to human reason.Just like the Immortal Qin Weird Belt.
"Besides, the laying of the foundation of civilization and its development towards prosperity are never done with tenderness."
Genis remained silent, smelling the taste of iron and blood in his master's gentle words.
But this didn't matter to Guinness. He was still willing to sacrifice everything to fight to free the slaves.Even the slaves as far away as Tandan and Joya, just as Spartacus was willing to fight monsters for them.
Chapter 112 Talks
The innocent boy did not feel the cruel collision between two different systems and civilizations with different ideas.
Rajer took Hansen back to the mansion where he settled.After bathing and changing into a robe, he went to see his grandfather.
Enoch was communicating with Hansen and paused when he saw Rajer's arrival.
The Lord of Xian was willing to take Rajer on a tour in person, which made Enoch a little surprised.In his eyes, the overly young city lord was not as easy to deal with as his age.
He couldn't help but think about whether the other party had any deep meaning in doing this.
"Ragel, tell me what you saw today."
Although he could also learn about confidence from Hansen, Enoch still wanted to hear what his grandson had to say.
Rajer nodded and told everything he had seen today.
Including the construction that is currently being carried out in Xi'an, the market in Xi'an, the farming and farmers in the outer city.
When he heard that Xi'an was hiring people for construction with money and food, Enoch was a little silent for a moment, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Xian, the White Stone City, gave me a feeling that I couldn't experience in Tandan... How should I put it?"
Rajr thought about how to organize the words.
"Enthusiasm...yes, it is enthusiasm. Xi'an is not as prosperous as Tandan, but I can feel the enthusiasm."
Compared with Tandan, although Tandan has many entertainment venues and buildings, it seems lifeless.
Grajel liked this city very much, and even the city lord who took him to visit Xi'an had an excellent impression.
"The city lord is really approachable. He treats the farmers the same way in the outer city."
Hearing what Rajel said, Enoch's expression turned ugly.
"Shut up, Rajel, what kind of nobleman is this when you hang out with lowly slaves? That city lord is indeed an extremely degenerate person in this regard."
Enoch's sudden anger silenced Rajer for a moment, and he was a little at a loss.
Seeing his favorite grandson looking so aggrieved, Enoch sighed.
The purpose of bringing Rajel here this time was to get rid of some of Rajel's bad habits so that he could grow up.But now it seems that Xi'an's situation is still beyond his imagination, and it is counterproductive.
"Forget it, have a good rest. Don't leave the mansion again. We will leave Xi'an after the negotiations are completed tomorrow."
A simple tour, in fact, both parties have different ideas.
.........
Time came to the second day.
Today is the day for formal talks between Xian, the representative of Kazama, and Roma, who is deeply involved in the Forbidden Land.Some of the most sincere thoughts no longer need to be concealed and can be put directly on the table.
The place for discussion was still at the City Lord's Mansion, but unlike the dinner party the day before yesterday, there were not many participants.
There are only Enoch and Hansen on the Tandan side, and Rajer is not eligible to participate.
On Xi'an's side are Kazama and Hohenheim.
In fact, some negotiations have results before they are concluded.
Just like this conversation.
After a period of gossip without any nutritional value, Enoch took the initiative to speak out the thoughts of the Tandan noble class behind him, which he represented.
And because Tandan had already communicated with Qiao Ya in Black Stone City before sending Enoch.Therefore, the outcome of this negotiation will also affect Blackstone City's thoughts and attitudes.
"Master Kazama, I hope you can restart the slave trade in the Three Stone City."
Enoch spoke with passionate words and high spirits.
"For the city-states in Slaver's Bay, the slave trade is a glorious tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years. It has penetrated every aspect of the Three Stone City. How can it be abandoned so easily."
"Now that you have emerged from the forbidden land, as a city-state that has not communicated with the outside world for a long time, you can also use Xi'an to try the slave trade and establish communication with the outside world."
"The wars on the mainland are still going on. We who provide slaves are the guests of the kings and lords of the kingdoms on the mainland."
"Besides, the slave trade has reaped huge rewards. The profits from selling slaves to the mainland in one year are enough to be comparable to the profits from the circulation of ordinary commodities for five years."
Enoch vigorously promoted the profits and conveniences that could be earned from the slave trade, and he understood it with emotion and reason.
But Fengjian's attitude was just to listen quietly without making a statement.
Enoch has read countless people, and his experience is that he can guess what a person is thinking from his expression and movements.But Enoch couldn't see through this young lord, and for a while he couldn't figure out what his attitude was towards Tandan's request.
Negotiations are inherently a time of competition for patience and confidence.But Enoch's patience was gradually worn away by Kazama.
"If the Lord of Fengjian City is willing to reopen the slave trade, the Lord of Tandan is willing to betroth Tandan's princess to you. Qiao Ya of Black Stone City also thinks so."
"We will recognize your status in this bay, and we will also discipline the old Xi'an nobles that you expelled, and we will not allow dissent to appear in Slaver's Bay again."
