Anything you'd like to say about Chapter 88?
Anything you'd like to say about Chapter 88?
Zwan's voice wasn't loud, but it alerted the goblins around him.
After a series of chain reactions, everyone's eyes, including the goblins', turned to Zwan.
But Zwan remained stiff and continued, "Lord Talis's purpose this time is to explore the forest; he hopes to find enough from it..."
"Shut up!"
The saintess spoke, her face flushed.
"Even if what you said before was true! That unclean nobleman Talis really colluded with thieves! He could never have violated the church's prohibitions! This is...!"
Li Mosi grabbed the saintess's mouth, making her face turn even redder.
He looked at Zwan, who had been interrupted, and said, "You don't need to tell me now, I'm hungry."
Hungry?
Ziwan saw Li Moss's consistently calm gaze.
Those eyes weren't looking at him, but rather at a point in the sky.
This carpenter never makes a wrong judgment in such situations.
He nodded earnestly: "Sir, I will obey you."
"Stand up."
Li Moss watched as Ziwang got up and returned to his unit, then looked up at the other prisoners.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Lasso quickly spoke up: "Merciful sir! I have something to say!"
He knelt down on one knee and quickly spoke.
"It wasn't that I was hiding it before, but I just never dared to find an opportunity to say it. Now that I've seen your kindness, I believe you won't blame me. That's why I dared to speak up."
This one sentence put Li Mosi in a difficult position.
"This time, Baron Talis mobilized the entire slave-catching team. Apart from a few captains and their guards, only the team responsible for scouting the forest did not come out."
"There were more than 500 people scattered throughout the forest, divided into three large groups and seventeen slave-hunting squads. They were responsible for searching for goblins and recording the general environment."
"But I really don't know how this information will be used! I just want to get some more food for my family to get through the winter!"
Zi Yi stared wide-eyed, trying hard to think.
Zi'an was dumbfounded.
Is that true?!
She... well, she never cared.
Zi'an subconsciously looked at Li Mosi.
Is it really true that my teacher's methods are so effective?
Amidst the puzzled and surprised gazes of his two disciples and the saintess's eyes that seemed to want to devour people alive, Li Mosi looked at Lasso.
He nodded gently: "You didn't lie to me."
Neither Lasso nor Zwan had any plans in mind.
However, this does not mean that they did not conceal some information.
This does not mean that they themselves were not deceived.
If this is true, then Baron Talis is quite a character.
They actually let an armed group of more than 500 people run around freely.
That's the population of three manors!
Lasso breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, I just want to live a peaceful life."
"Very good. Your information has been somewhat useful." Li Mo thought for a moment, "I will record twenty work points for you. Two work points can be exchanged for a piece of meat, and five work points can be used to rest for a day."
Lasso spoke, his voice trembling slightly, "Thank you, sir!"
He's safe!
Although the slaves put on an act of trying hard to remember, they clearly didn't know anything.
Labor has taken up their entire lives.
After racking his brains, a slave finally spoke up: "My lord, I heard that one of the captain's lieutenants is related to Baron Talis."
Not very useful.
But Li Mosi still said, "Very good, here's a reward of two work points."
"Thank you, sir!"
This is a piece of meat!
Seeing that such news could be exchanged for a piece of meat, the slaves didn't think twice and eagerly offered all sorts of unverified information.
"I heard that the teams responsible for exploring the forest don't communicate by shouting; they put leaves to their mouths and blow on them to imitate bird calls!"
"This is useful, here's a reward of five work points."
"Thank you, kind sir!"
"No! That's not a forest exploration team! Those are the captain's personal guards! And I heard the captain can cast magic that makes him immune to swords!"
"I'm not lying, here are two work points for you."
"Thank you, sir!"
There were too many people to give instructions to, so Li Mosi had to make up a bunch of symbols on the spot and write their symbols and work points on their clothes.
In any case, the original owner had never seen graphite in her memories.
They are not afraid of anyone faking or altering scores.
……
"I heard that the Baron has five knights in total, but only four were sent this time."
"Useful, here's a reward of five work points."
Relying on the fact that she had just finished a fight and obtained an endless supply of donkey meat, Li Mosi was very generous in giving out rewards.
As long as it's not fabricated, at least give them a piece of meat.
"Thank you, sir!"
"My lord! I have news to share too!"
Upon hearing this almost public news, the five newly captured slave-catching team members quickly spoke up.
"I……"
"Although we're the only team to the north, there are two other teams to the east and west! They each have more than twenty people!"
"this……"
"It took us five days to walk from the outpost to Baron Talis's territory! After we set off, the chieftains returned to the outpost with their personal guards!"
"he……"
"Besides Baron Talis and his knights, there's another fellow to the south named Baron Stern! His territory is a bit smaller than Baron Talis's!"
"There's another knight named 'Martica'! He's a vassal of 'Viscount Evasen' located further south of the two baronies!"
Seeing his colleagues vying to speak, the last regular employee, who had been interrupted multiple times, shouted.
"They're nothing! I have the captain's recording here!"
As he spoke, he pulled a piece of parchment from his chest and handed it to Li Mosi.
This is what he kept for the captain.
Now that the captain is dead, it naturally belongs to him.
Li Mosi took it and looked at it. It recorded the general terrain and environment of the north, as well as the types of prey and plants.
This helps him explore maps on demand.
"Very good, this is very useful. Here's a reward of thirty work points for you."
"Thank you, sir!"
Although the saintess was no longer being held by the gag, she could not utter a word despite her mouth being open.
She was all too familiar with this situation!
This is how the young male nobles treated her at large banquets where the church and high-ranking nobles were together!
Once people start comparing themselves to each other, even a griffin can be turned into a dish and served on the table!
But she is noble and beautiful, so why should this craftsman be allowed to do so?
It's one thing if thieves and slaves don't recognize her.
Even the guards who recognized her...
Even Li Mosi didn't expect that Zwan would suddenly take the lead in speaking.
The prisoners then began to give information.
The newly captured men have started competing to see who can provide the best intelligence.
After distributing the rewards, Li Mosi told the prisoners to continue walking, while he took out paper and pen to jot down the information he had just gathered before following behind.
The goblins had already prepared lunch.
The goblins still ate meat and blood, while the prisoners ate bread and mushroom porridge.
"Sir, I would like to exchange it for a piece of meat."
"Me too!"
Several slaves who had just earned two work points immediately exchanged them for a fist-sized piece of fresh donkey meat.
Li Mosi crossed out the work points on their clothes, then cut out a large enough piece of donkey meat right in front of them, diced it, and threw it into a pot to cook.
Seeing that he kept his promise, Lasso and the other first batch of captured workers also tried to exchange their money.
Li Moss naturally agreed.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
Only Zi Yi was thinking about the problem.
"Master, how should we preserve so much meat? Should we use that bucket of salt?"
