Vol 9 Chapter 25: Get free

Massims did not refute or resist, and allowed Gaius to catch him, but Gauss's fist was not smashed because the slaves around him hugged him.
The small riot caused by the uncle's square made the slave management officials who had not left look very ugly. The head of the slave, Icarus, was even more angry, and immediately sent the soldiers to arrest him.
When Gauss was slashed with his hands and pressed to the ground, he was still swearing. The foreman gave him a stick directly, which caused his teeth to fall off, blood flowing, and his face suddenly swollen. Then "Woohoo ... He couldn't speak clearly, but still stared fiercely at Massimus.
Maximus never dared to touch his eyes and stood still. Even if Gauss was taken away, he did not raise his head.
The puppet slaves were quickly led by the foreman to the mine, leaving him alone in the large square.
At this time, Icarus, the head of the slave camp, walked over, patted his shoulder, and said graciously, "You are doing right! Those who are stupid cannot see the situation at all, the kingdom is so powerful, and their little What a small conspiracy can do is a joke! ... "
But Maximus felt his words harsh, and he looked up and asked, "Master Icarus, I am now free. Can I leave here now?"
"Of course, you are now a free man. However, you have spent so many years in a slave camp and you do n’t know anything about the situation outside. Suddenly leave here and live in the towns of the kingdom. I am afraid you will be very uncomfortable. If you are not careful, you may violate the laws of the kingdom and affect your future development. It is better to stay in the camp and be an employee here. After all, you are familiar with this place, and you are well educated and able to write Dior. The Lia word can be a manager here, which is more conducive to you becoming a Dionian citizen earlier. While working for the camp, you will slowly become familiar with the city of Turui and our kingdom. ... "
The reason why Icarus said these words to retain Massimus was because after receiving the order of the slave management office, he specially sent someone to understand this amnesty Roman slave and learned that he was capable, This moved the idea of ​​cherishing talent, and wanted to add a powerful subordinate to his camp.
"Thank you Lord Icarus for your attention, I will consider it carefully." Although Maximus admits that Icarus makes sense, he doesn't want to stay here for a moment, so the words are a bit perfunctory. .
Icarus also saw it. He still smiled and patted Maximus on the shoulder, saying, "Go back and think about it, even if you don't have this plan now, what I said is valid for one year. Right , You can now go to the camp's management room to register and receive your bronze medal. "
Because the amnesty about him was so loud this time, he quickly completed the formalities. Even if he had not paid some rent, the office staff waived him and said: "This is the slave management office. A special notice, thank you kind King King Daphs! "
Maxims finally got the bronze medal that all slaves dreamed of: This bronze medal is rectangular, the size of the index finger, the word "freedom" is engraved in the middle, and there is a number on the top.
The bronze medal is very simple, and it seems easy to imitate it, but in fact this bronze medal is just an identification certificate, which is usually seen by the inspectors during inspection. What is really important is that his name is cancelled in the Kingdom Slave Management Office. To know whether it is public or private, as long as you buy and add a slave, you must register with the Kingdom Slave Management Office, record the physical characteristics of the slave, give him a fixed number, and brand it on the slave. Hips.
On the one hand, the Slave Management Office will regularly check the slaves' living conditions according to the roster. If it is found that they may be abused and destroyed, court personnel may come to the door. On the other hand, once the slave escapes, the Slave Management Office will The information of the fugitives was provided to the inspectors in the towns, and arrests were carried out. Once they were captured, they would not only end badly, but they would never have the opportunity to be free.
马 After Massimus' name was removed from the slave roster, it showed that he was already a free man.
Maximus carefully put the bronze medal on his chest and strode back to his home.
When his two children happily greeted him, his heavy guilt suddenly disappeared: I did nothing wrong, my child should not be trapped in this cage, they should be happy like other children Study at Dionysian School ...
"Mathims, you ... are you sneaking back from the mine! What can you do ?! Go back! Go and admit to them wrongly ..." But her wife, Fulvia, was very panicked, she There was a misunderstanding of the husband's appearance at home at this time.
"Fulvia, we are free!" Maximus said to her excitedly, holding the child.
"what did you say?"
"I mean I have become a free man, this is the bronze medal I got from slavery!" Massimos passed the bronze medal to his wife.
Fulvia carefully looked at the bronze medal several times and couldn't believe it: "This is ... really ?!"
"Of course it is true, we can leave here! Leave now!" Massimus said firmly.
Fulvia didn't respond. She clasped the bronze medal with one hand, covered her face with one hand, and tears ran down her fingers ...
"Mom, why are you crying?" The two children cared about Fulviya's clothes.
Massimus stepped forward and embraced his wife forcefully, saying deeply: "Fulvia, from now on we will no longer be slaves! Children will not be slaves again! We will have Better life! "
嗯 "Hmm! ... hmm! ..." Fulvia nodded again and again.
In the past few years, Maximus had not accumulated any valuable possessions in the slave camp. The family quickly packed the parcels and walked towards the camp door.
Seeing heavily armed guards standing guard at the gate of the camp, Fulvia and the children subconsciously hid behind Massims.
But the guards did not stop them, but congratulated Massims. It seemed that "he was pardoned" had spread throughout the camp and became a celebrity in the slave camp.
When I walked out of the camp, Massims took a deep breath of fresh air. Before he could have time to look back, he saw a person walking towards him, and his heart sank.
"Congratulations, Maximus!" The man said aloud, with a smile on his face, completely different from the sinister expression of the last time he interrogated him in the camp.
Massimus stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help!"
"It has nothing to do with me, it's all His kindness!" The man said seriously, and then he asked, "Now you have become a free man, what are your plans?"
"First go to the Turui Family Registration Office to apply to become a Dionian citizen, and then go to find a job to earn money to support the family." Massimus did not know what the other party was asking, so he answered carefully.
"This is indeed the most commonly used way of life for the liberation of slaves, but now the situation has changed." The man's mouth slightly squeaked and spit out a sentence.
Massims thought, and just wanted to ask, "What changed?"
I heard the man say: "If you have any interest in coming to work with us, our intelligence department is directly under the jurisdiction of Your Majesty. Not only is the salary low, but it is also easy to contribute. You will become a Dionian citizen in a shorter time.
Massims didn't know much about Dionysian government, but just from the literal meaning of the
intelligence department
and his last experience, he could probably guess what they were doing. Contradiction, "Being scolded by a compatriot face to face with a traitor", this time in his life is enough to be heartbroken, and he does not want to experience the second time.
"Sorry, I just want to live a normal life." Massimus said calmly.
The man also seemed to expect that he would answer this way without showing any dissatisfaction. He shrugged and said, "Well, I hope you all are well! This is our reward for you, and a little bit of my dim sum!"
The man took out a heavy money bag ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and handed it over.
The word "reward" stung him, and he instinctively wanted to refuse.
拿着 "Hold it, you will soon know that living in Turui is not easy, and it is not possible without money." The man looked at the two children behind him and said seriously.
This made Massims hesitate, and then he felt that his wife was pinching his arms: Yes, in the past few years, he has used his hard-earned salary to speak the language of Dionia. There is not much savings in learning ...
He lowered his head, took the money bag, and whispered in shame, "Thank you ..."
"If one day you change your mind, you can come to the white house next to the inspection station in the outer area of ​​the western city to come to me. If someone stops you, it is said that Tratus asked you to come."
Maximus nodded and said he heard it, but did not respond, holding his two children, carrying his wife, carrying a parcel, and heading east.
"Boss, he doesn't even want to, anyway he is a bait, even if he doesn't cooperate, as long as we keep an eye on him, we can continue to arrest those who want to avenge him and avenge the old Roman nobles of Servius accomplice."
"The number of Roman citizens in Turíi is increasing, and we now lack someone who really knows them and can gain their trust, not to mention I have consulted Massims' past and he is very good." Tratus Looking at the back of the Maximus family, a playful smile appeared on his face: "After he touches the wall, maybe we still have a chance."
