Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Gellette drew a circle with her hand and said, "That being said, my lord. But a slave is a slave. Once branded, she is not a human. No matter how you do, she is not a human anymore. This human society The iron rule is like the natural rule of hot rain and cold snow. If you violate this rule, the whole society will stand against you. I am not the kind of druid who lives completely in the forest. I am also a person in this society, and I have to follow the rules."

"Well, you can follow the rules, but you can't...you can't think that way, Gerrita, tell me what you think of those two girls?"

Ge Lita said without thinking, "You don't know where the two bed slaves got from."

"that's it?"

"Hmm..." She pondered for a while, "You dote on them very much, and Estherite also likes them very much. I guess you will marry them as concubines in the future."

"What about you? Do you hate them?"

"I don't dislike them either." Gelie blinked her eyes, "Everyone got along very well, and even those two little girls almost overwhelmed me. The forest witch said..."

Haiwen interrupted sharply: "Then why can't you treat them equally?"

"Because they have marks on their faces, are you blind?" Geralte said, poking her face with her hand.

Biography of Rangers, Chapter 1: The Four Principalities and the Four Rangers

One day, a bard came to Yancheng under Fenglei Castle.He is a tall and thin old man, he is personable,

He sang an old song in his heart, chanted romantic stories in his mouth, and walked towards an old shop that had been weather-beaten.

At the entrance of the old shop, a fat bartender who was dozing off on a chair was snoring loudly at the moment; however, as soon as the poet approached, the fat bartender closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to beg for food."

"I'm not a beggar, I'm a bard." He bowed, "My stomach is full of stories, and my violin can speak. If you let me in, I can give life to this tavern."

"I don't believe it, unless you say something here."

"Just say it!" The bard sat cross-legged at the door, played the violin, played a paragraph, and told the story of the ranger...

"Everyone, as we all know, the continent we live in used to have many names, such as Hystra, the Far Land, and the Western Mountain Continent...but now it is mostly called Latmu—the land of iron and blood. .Before the country was built, when the war was still raging, there were some famous rangers here.

They are chivalrous and righteous, free from the laws of the country, and rely on their own preferences to determine the lives and deaths of others.But these men were all chivalrous—maybe not all the same, but they were all heroes.At that time, there were four principalities, namely—"

Here he sang:

"The land of the eastern bay, where seven rivers flow into the sea, and no crops grow, Filme rules it, the shrewd king, let the money come from the sea, sell the salt in all directions, repair the ship, and fill the purse;

In the wilderness of the west, the sun is strong and the wind is strong, there is no water and there is sand, Nesmir rules it, the wise king, he turns gold from the sand, makes dry grass produce spices, builds an oasis, drinks horses and herds sheep;

The southern wetlands are full of water and trees, and the seasons are like summer. Mier rules it. The greedy king catches slaves in the forest, turns living people into livestock, destroys the southern people, and offends the gods.

The holy land in the north, the ice and snow are holy, the mountains and plains, the outstanding people, the north is high and the sky is dangerous, the south is rich and rural, and the west is pasture and grassland.The real king doesn't know what benevolence and righteousness are, and he causes chaos and chaos everywhere, and the lives of the people are devastated! "

After finishing speaking, he played a vicissitudes of life violin, and a few children stopped to listen. The fat doorman cast a disdainful glance, turned his head and said nothing.

The poet sang a few words, and then said:

"The Four Principalities have four Rangers!

In the north, there is a silver fox ranger, who is suave and unparalleled in talent and appearance;

There are faceless rangers in the south, who are superb in martial arts and have a heart without face;

In the west, there are rangers who carry the pot, eat eight meals a day, and use pots as knives;

In the east, there are rangers with smiling faces, with swords hidden in their smiles, and chivalrous hearts!

Today I'm here to spread the reputation of the smiling ranger Spike, and let you know how the great hero is a chivalrous hero, and he is the king of the sword! "

At this point, everyone around applauded, and the bard thanked him again and again, but after thanking him, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.The people around asked him: "Why didn't you say it? What's next?" The fat man also asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you say it? Go on!"

The old poet smiled slightly and said, "Let me in and I'll talk about it later!"

The fat man's face darkened, and before he could speak, people who wanted to hear the story surrounded the poet and entered the old shop.For a while, there was laughter and laughter, the wine was warmed up and the lights were on, and the vicissitudes of the old shop really rejuvenated.

Chapter 63: On Slaves

Chapter 63: On Slaves

"Because they have marks on their faces, are you blind?" Gerrit poked her face with her hand and said, "This - such a big stamen mark, can't you see it? Huh?"

This is unreasonable!Haiwen's brows were locked together. This is because backward thinking is deeply ingrained. She grew up in this environment and has already considered this kind of thing to be correct and normal.

"Gerette! This kind of thinking is absolutely wrong, don't you feel that something is wrong?"

Zhe Lite sighed, and said: "Even if I take a step back, I treat them as human beings in my heart, but they are still slaves. If I take slaves as apprentices, then I will discredit the whole liberal witches, even though they are free There are many lunatics among the witches, but everyone is legally free after all. If people know that the forest witch has slaves, then the nobles will completely drive us out of human society. Turning slaves into people means... She stared into Haven's eyes, "robbing property."

"This is a good thing to save innocent people, not to rob property!"

"But slaves are property, and they are clearly marked, my lord! They are not only the property of nobles, but also the public resources of the entire society. If I accept other people's slaves as apprentices, it is equivalent to me..." She waved her hand He gestured, "Destroying the city walls, slaughtering cattle, and destroying roads. This is a felony, my lord."

Haiwen clapped the handle of the chair and shouted: "I said Hyacinth and Violet are free people! I made them free people! They are not slaves!"

She spread her hands helplessly, and said, "My lord, they are your bed slaves. You can say whatever you like, and call them whatever you like, but none of this can change the fact." Gerrit waved her hand, Helplessly said:

"You, a person from another world, are really brainless."

He realized that he couldn't change Geralte's mind with just a few words, so he gave up temporarily, and just said to Gerald: "Now slavery is indeed the rule of this world, but this rule is not justice, and sooner or later one day it will be punished." break in."

Gerrit nodded and said, "I agree with that. But breaking order means bleeding, which is an act of death."

"Isn't that what I'm doing?" Haven said to her, "I have liberated the serfs in Mustang Town, and now people support me. And soon everyone will see the power of the new system."

"But at least you haven't broken the rules legally, my lord. These serfs are 'free men' to you, but they are still serfs when they leave Wild Horse Town. And I think..." Gerrit folded her arms, her face serious , "Nobles will not let it go. My lord, your behavior is very dangerous. I have wanted to remind you a long time ago."

"I'll be careful."

"That's good." Gerrit nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing to remind you. Pay attention to that handsome guy with blue eyes, there is something wrong with this guy."

There is a problem.Haven still remembered the arrow that Fasnat shot back then.They were more than 200 meters away at the time. It was too exaggerated to shoot a headshot from such a long distance and knock people back with great power. A 14-year-old boy, not to mention his superb swordsmanship, can shoot such an arrow?There is a problem here.

"What do you think of Fasnat?" Haven asked her.

Ge Lite pondered, and said: "First of all, this guy's body is very strong. The strength of his bones and skin is much stronger than that of ordinary people, which I can tell at a glance; secondly, water witch doctors are very rare, I am alive ... There are so many 17-year-olds, and I only met him twice. Is that handsome guy so big? Can you invite him? I heard that his family is a down-and-out knight, and the down-and-out knight will have this connection?"

"Please keep the matter about Fassnut confidential. I will find an opportunity to ask him about the specifics."

"It's good to know what you have in mind."

That was the end of the conversation, and then Gerrit helped Hai Wen back to rest.He was indeed very weak, and after walking around the corridor, sweat began to ooze from his forehead.After returning to the room, he lay on the bed, but instead of resting, he called Hyacinth and Violet.

Both Hyacinth and Violet are in maids' uniforms.It was a black-bottomed dress, black leather shoes and white stockings, a white apron on top of the black-bottomed skirt, gloves and a white collar.The maid uniform is made white in these places that are most likely to get dirty, in order to remind the servants to keep themselves clean at all times.This function allows you to see at a glance whether the servants are diligent, because Violet is clean and her head scarf is neat and tidy; while Hyacinth’s skirt, gloves, and white socks’ calves are full of sewage spots and gangsters. And without a headscarf.

The two girls were very reserved when they came to his room.Violet folded her hands on her lower abdomen, looking at her nose and heart; Hyacinth also lowered her head, but she was quietly observing Haiwen's expression.Haiwen was very puzzled, so he asked Hyacinth, "What happened today?"

Hyacinth immediately shrank behind Violet upon hearing this, Violet froze and her eyes flickered.Seeing this scene, Haiwen asked, "Did you get into trouble?"

Hyacinth said at once: "No!" and Violet said at the same time: "Yes, my lord, please forgive us."

"What happened?"

Hyacinth pulled the corner of Violet's clothes from behind, beckoning her to say, Haiwen noticed this detail, so he suddenly said: "Hyacinth, you come and answer me, what happened?"

"Huh?" She let out a crisp scream.

"Tell the truth." Haven ordered.

Hyacinth and Violet looked at each other, then whispered: "We... failed to take good care of Madam."

"What?" Haven really didn't expect this to happen, and when he heard this, his face became serious, "Did something happen to Isrit?"

Hyacinth bit her lower lip, and said: "She has had a hard time going out these days. Originally, I discussed with Sister Violet that she would take care of Madam, and I would take care of Lady Witch, but in fact..." She glanced Glancing at Violet, Violet sighed softly and said, "Actually, I take care of Hyacinth, and Madam takes care of Ms. Gerrit."

"It doesn't matter." Haven breathed a sigh of relief, "Isrit is not the kind of delicate noble lady, not to mention that she and Geralte have always been like that. The relationship between master and servant is not important, I just hope that you can get along with everyone." Everyone gets along so that..." He wanted to say the word "equality," but his mind immediately recalled the previous conversation with Gerrita.

Gerrita has two girls as slaves, but what about the others?What about Isrit?Haven was lost in thought.

"My lord?" said Hyacinth.

"Ah, I was just... thinking about something."

"What are you thinking?" Hyacinth said without any scruples.

So Hai Wen also said truthfully: "I was thinking... how to integrate you into normal life."

The girls looked at each other, and Hyacinth said: "My lord, this is fine now." Violet also nodded in agreement: "This is fine."

"I hope you can be more free and live in this society like ordinary people. You should be like ordinary girls, you should be able to show your face, you should be able to go out to the market alone... No one will use the same Look at you." He stared at the stamen marks on the faces of the two girls, "Don't you think so?"

Hyacinth was still hesitating, but Violet shook her head and said, "No, my lord."

"Really?"

"It's true," she said. "I don't want to trouble you."

"It's not troublesome, it's what I want."

"Then...then I will follow your wish, my lord." Violet bowed to him, "I will try to become a free person."

Hyacinth glanced at Violet, and said, "Then Hyacinth is also willing to become a free person..." At this point, she suddenly looked into Haiwen's eyes, and asked cautiously, "After becoming a free person, shall we Do you want to say goodbye to the adults?"

"That's not what I meant." It's easy for a human being to become a slave, as long as a whip and a branding iron are enough, but what if the slave turns back into a human?Haiwen stared at the pistils on their faces, thinking: Can this thing be removed?

"Come here, let me take a good look at you." He patted the bed and said.

Chapter 64: The Love of a Slave Maiden

Chapter 64: The Love of a Slave Maiden

Hearing this, Hyacinth walked over excitedly.She kicked off her shoes and climbed onto Haven's bed, knelt down in front of him, and said to him almost cheek-to-cheek: "Look!"

too close.Haiwen's breath was full of the scent of girlish hormones.Different from the milk-like sweet fragrance on Isrit, Hyacinth has a sweet and sour sweaty body fragrance, which is strong and pungent, reminding him of the wild flowers in the wilderness that are wet by rain and dew.

They looked at each other, and in an instant Haiwen was defeated by the girl's passionate gaze.His eyes drifted down, but he saw the skin inside Hyacinth's neckline.Her bronzed skin was smooth, plump and elastic.

"My lord." Hyacinth said in a low voice, "Madam told me, let us get closer to you." After saying this, she leaned forward again, and pressed her forehead against Hai Wen's.Violet also sat down at this time, she held Hewen's hand and said, "My lord, so do I." However, her words were full of embarrassment.

They misunderstood my intentions.Haiwen thought to himself, I just want to see the marks on their faces.

Thinking of this, his lust subsided a little. "It's not yet time." He said gently pushing Hyacinth away.

Hyacinth looked at him with an aggrieved face, and asked, "My lord, when will it be?"

"At least until you're sixteen," he said.

"I don't understand. I want to be your woman right now!" she exclaimed.

Violet scolded her in a low voice: "Hyacinth, you are too rude!"

"But I think about it now!" She was about to cry, "Now, right now!" She grabbed Hewen's arm, her eyes were red, "My lord, do you hate me?"

"Do not……"

Before the word was finished, Hyacinth blocked Hai Wen's mouth with her lips.Haiwen wanted to push her subconsciously but couldn't. I don't know if he was too weak or Hyacinth was too strong.The girl's kiss was passionate and rough. After a heartbeat, Haven realized that she didn't know what a kiss was. She just stuck out her tongue, pecking and biting him as if she wanted to eat something.

At this time, Violet picked up Hyacinth and threw it to the ground, then slapped her hard twice.

Hyacinth was stunned by the beating. She sat on the ground and covered her face with blank eyes.Haiwen was also taken aback and was stunned for a moment.

"I said, you're too rude." Violet's voice was trembling with anger, "It's your luck that my lord treats you well, but you can't push yourself too far and forget your identity."

Haven had never heard the gentle Violet speak in such a terrifying tone, and for a moment he felt that there was a stranger in front of him.

"But I..." Hyacinth murmured three words while covering her face, and then tears flowed down her cheeks.Violet could not bear it, but she didn't continue to say anything to Hyacinth. She turned and knelt beside Haiwen, and said, "My lord, please forgive me." Hyacinth also knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, my lord."

Haiwen didn't say anything, he got out of bed to help the two girls up, and then the three of them sat side by side on the bed.He's in the middle, one on each side.He said to Violet, "Apologize to Hyacinth first."

"Yes, my lord." So she apologized to Hyacinth, who didn't say anything, but just nodded blankly.

Then Haiwen said to Violet: "Hyacinth is just pouring out his love, it's not impolite."

"But she said something unbecoming, my lord. Forgive me, I must... must punish her."

"Which sentence?" Haiwen asked.

"She said she wanted to be your woman," Violet whispered. "We can't be 'your woman', which means being equal to you and your wife. That's against the rules."

Sure enough, it was because of "non-compliance with the rules".Haven said to them: "Tell me what you really think, and I command you to tell the truth this time. Tell me, do you love me?"
