Vol 3 Chapter 33: Slave storm


A few days later, Kuno Gorata, who was recuperating in bed, heard one thing: a part of the slaves in the Turiyi quarry rioted, fell down guarding their guards, fled Turui, and some of them escaped to Amen Doral asked for protection, and the Turui messenger later rushed to ask Amendola to send the slaves back.
At the moment, in the Senate of Amendola, the representatives of the Turil and the fugitive slaves are glaring.
Plesinus, the new general of Turui, if Cunolorata is here, he will recognize that this person is one of the main instigators who incited the Turif people to expel him. At this moment he faces Amendo. Lara’s elders yelled out loudly:
Amendo Lara is the alliance of Turai. Is this the messenger of the Allies?
Let a low-status slave stand with the noble general of Turui. It’s a shame to Turui! If Amendo Lara does not respond in good faith to Turui’s request, Turui will reconsider the covenant with Amendorara!

As soon as this statement came out, the veterans sitting on the wooden chairs at the venue were in a state of utter disappointment.
At this time, the Ombudsman Antonios stood up and said: "Respected Turui messenger, about Turri's request, we have not started to discuss. I did not expect that when you came in, you took the initiative to go to the center of the venue. Forgot to remind you "Your position is here." Antonios pointed to a position on the side of the front of the venue: "I think that the noble messenger from Turui should know more than the diplomatic etiquette of the city state, without permission. The state messenger should be kept quiet."
The elders gave a sneer.
Plesinus was not at all embarrassed. Regardless of the slave, he continued to say aloud: "I have never heard of a major issue between city-states. I will let a slave listen! Amendo Lara How sacred the city-state Senate is, how can a low-lying slave be paralyzed!"
"This is because as a representative of the slave who fled to Amendola, his request is related to Amendola and Turui. I think it is necessary to let him say his request again, let us noble people come. A fair discussion to judge whether his request is reasonable. Then, the distinguished Turui messenger, are you ready to stand there all the time, so that our meeting can not officially start?!" Sitting in the middle of the venue, Daves calms The tone of the atmosphere reveals a majesty, which makes Plasinhos sit in his seat.
"Slave, now you can say your request." The president of the Senate, the city's chief executive, Cornelus, said loudly.
The slave’s respectful salute said:
Respected adults, my name is Aristocratic. First of all, I want to explain that I am not born to be mean. My father is a nobleman of Cyrenaica, mainly engaged in West. There are hundreds of slaves and very large farms. Eight years ago, my father took me to Olympia to watch the games and met pirates on the way... my father... my father was killed... I was Sold to Turui..."
Aristocratic took a deep breath and suppressed the sorrow in his heart and continued: "Despite the misfortune, I did not complain too much, perhaps this is the punishment of the gods. In Turui, I did my best to complete the work assigned by the owner, never slacked off... until two months ago, the city-state brought us together and went to the mercenary camp. The adults stood in front of us and called us to fight for Turui. Aristotle to give a courtesy to Daves: "You also said, 'As long as we win, we will be free!' For the sake of freedom, we have never taken the weapon and we picked up the weapon! Freedom, we have never killed people and we fight against the ferocious Lucanias! It is these fierce Lukanias who defeated Turui, but freedom makes us fearless! We fight bravely, war wins At the time, we had more than a thousand people left in more than two thousand slaves..."
Aristocratic bottom gently sucked his nose, so that the new citizen veterans were stunned, as if they were in the fierce battle of the nine deaths.
"We waited for the exciting moment to come, but what was waiting was a cold knife! Turui was saved, and we were back to the dark, wet pockets and continued to carry heavy ore. We protested But we are only beaten and fasted... Just when we are desperate, we hear a message that the mercenary slaves who fought with us are now free people and may become city-state citizens in the future. Why are they all slaves, and they all fight for Turui, but there are two completely different results! So we are not willing to attack the guards of the mine, and flee here, just want to ask the adults, you Is the vow made by the name of God still counted?!"
Alice Dokradi’s affectionate story touched the veterans who were here, and the venue was silent for a while. Only Plessinas shouted: "He is deceiving! They are not the slaves who participated in the battle!!"
Antonios immediately said: "About whether they are slaves to the battle, we have a way to prove this problem. Because the city's free people have fought with them, they have been together for one night and one day, and they are more familiar with them. I They have been asked to go to the slave detention office for identification. I asked the representatives of the free people to enter the Senate to testify."
"agree!"
"agree!!"
The veterans have agreed that the opposition of Plesinus is completely overwhelmed.
During this free time, Davers looked at the face with thick sorrow, a few scars on his face, dark skin, a little sturdy body, but still faintly reveals the young face of Aristotle, asking "You just asked me, I will answer you later. I want to ask you now, from your speech, you are obviously well educated, why are you a slave to mining?" Like Aristotle Well-educated slaves are generally expensive and will never be too wasteful to do the dirty work and hard work that only ordinary slaves can do.
Aristotle is a bitter smile: "I was originally bought by a rich businessman in Turui, helping him manage his vineyard and winemaking workshop. I did a good job and won his trust. He also said that he would give me freedom... ... unfortunately he was sick... his wife soon got married again, and my new owner gave me a free gift to the city of Turui. At that time, the city state was missing the mining slaves, so I got rid of it... ..."
There must be some complicated inside story, but looking at Aris Docrates is calm, obviously has been seen, Davers praised and said: "I see that God is not punishing you, but is training you!

When Aris Docrates heard it, his heart suddenly became excited. He obviously heard something from here.
At this time, the representatives of the free people entered the venue, and after swearing in the face of the gods, they said the answer: these fugitive slaves did participate in the battle!
Plesinus did not follow, he stood up and retorted: "City states let slaves participate in the battle, this is a common thing! For example, Sparta often let the black sergeant fight with them, and the number of victories won is countless. Is it Sparta? Is it possible for the Blacks to be free? Obviously not! With the many years of friendship between Turui and Amendola and the busy trades during this time, I don’t think the Davos consul can do that. Commitment, this slave is obviously lying! Returning the lost property to the owner, this is the virtue of the Greeks! I once again ask the Amenadora Lama to return these slaves belonging to the property of Turui to Turui!"
Aristotle's look changed slightly, looking at Davers.
Davers looked at Plesinus, who was proud and tough, and sneered in his heart: this Turui was just threatening him and Amendola!
He stood up and looked serious and said to Aristocratic: "You can answer me if you just asked me. I am Davis. The life commander of Amendola Lara is like a burning prison." Like the fire, it will never go out! Yes, I promised to give you freedom after the battle victory! Because you are a Turri slave, I ask Burkes to bear witness and let him write my promise on paper. , rush back to Turri City, please sign the army~EbookFREE.me~ Before the battle started, when Burkes came to persuade us, I reiterated to Burks again the promise to you, but I I didn't think that you still hang around today!"
Daves had a deep expression, and he said aloud: "You saved Turui, and Turui owed you! You helped the mercenaries, and Amendola Lama also owed you! I asked the Turui messengers, please give them freedom. !"
The words of Dafoss just fell, and the elders shouted in unison: "Give them freedom! Since you swear to God, you should give these poor and respectable slave freedom, Turui!"
Plesinus looked confused and he said: "Tuli has never seen an agreement for their freedom! I have not seen it! Davers, you must have remembered it wrong! It must be a mistake!"
Note: Silfion grass is said to be a kind of coniferous pine. It was anciently produced in the city of Cyrenaica, as a valuable feed for the growth of livestock, as well as food condiments. The most important thing is that it can improve men's The function, so popular in various countries in the ancient Mediterranean, became the pillar industry of Cyrenaica, earning a lot of money, so the coins minted by Cyrene is even printed with its pattern. It is a pity that there are too many men in the Mediterranean who need it, which eventually leads to its extinction. Now there is no real Silfion grass.
