Reading Room
On this day, as the temporary seat of King Camos in the royal city, Huimos was absent-mindedly listening to the group of older ministers in the side hall wrangling for a day.
At this moment, he is on the way back to the palace.
The setting sun on the horizon is like a fire, igniting the burning clouds in the sky.
Looking at the red clouds like flames, Heimos only felt that his chest was inexplicably tight, and suddenly the dream of being stained by flames that night appeared in his mind.
Also, Garlan surrounded by flames in his dream...
He shook his head vigorously, shaking the ominous omen from his mind.
At this moment, suddenly there was a long cry in the sky.
It was the croak that Hiemos was very familiar with.
Huimos looked up sharply.
A group of dark shadows smashed down at him in the air, and he stretched out his hand to catch it.
The messy black eagle lay in his arms, motionless and exhausted, even the dark feathers were messy and lost their luster.
In the wind and rain, it rushed back day and night without eating or drinking. After it was here, it could no longer hold it and fell.
At this moment, its breath is a bit weaker.
Anu?
How could Anu, who should be following Garlan in Tozes City, fly back suddenly? !
Give Anu to the attendants next to him and send them to the veterinarian immediately. He quickly opened the copper tube that Anu brought back.
The next moment, Hiemos' pupils shrank sharply.
A thin piece of cloth is as heavy as a thousand catties.
Huimos clenched Cloth's hand and was even shaken by the terrible weight.
The dark sky...
The burning crimson flame...
The figure of the young man turned into ashes in the fire...
...
Huimos took a deep breath and pressed down the crazy heartbeat that was almost driving him crazy.
He gritted his teeth and gave orders to his attendants.
"Tell me immediately and let all the ministers and all the people in the military affairs office rush me to the palace within half an hour!"

……………………
In the wooden farm on the side of Tozes City, after the slaves had eaten enough, they finally discovered that a group of people had arrived here at some unknown time.
Because the wooden cart that distributes food is here, all the slaves have already flocked to this place. When they raised their heads, they saw a young man surrounded by everyone on the high platform.
The sky was not completely dark yet, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone from the horizon.
The boy has blonde hair as bright as the sun.
Some slaves knew Seth, and Master Seth, who was the captain, bowed his head and followed the boy respectfully. Although they didn't know who the boy was, they began to feel frustrated.
The slaves whispered to each other quietly, watching the blond boy on the high platform, asking each other who it was. The scene was messy for a while, and there was a buzzing sound everywhere.
The city guards who were maintaining order frowned and sternly scolded.
"A group of rude guys! Kneel down and bow at once!"
They rebuked the slaves who were whispering at the young man.
"Kneel down, bow your heads—"
"Do you know who you offended?"
"This is the Prince of Aaron Landis!"
Prince? !
A group of slaves suddenly panicked and quickly leaned over. Most people were so scared that almost the entire upper body was kneeling on the ground.
They fell on the ground, pressing their hands on the ground, and pressing their foreheads tightly on the ground. The excessive shock made their whole bodies tense.
The most noble adults they slaves have ever seen in their lives may only be the Archon of Tozes.
In their view, the Archon was already unattainable, and at this moment, the prince who was even higher than the Archon, suddenly appeared in front of them.
The prince of Aaron Landis.
That is the descendant of the legendary gods of Aaron Landis.
There are rumors that he is the beloved son of the sun god Shamash who descended to the world.
If he angered him, it would anger the gods, anger Shamash, and go to hell to be tortured even if the soul is dead—
Thinking of this, some timid slaves even shivered.
They inexplicably felt that there was an invisible and terrible force in the air oppressing them.
Everyone fell on the ground, holding their breath, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.
The whole venue was terribly quiet for a while.
Garlan stood on the high platform, and Seth and Kaihuos and other subordinates had bowed their heads and retreated a few steps behind him.
He looked down at the slaves who fell to the ground in darkness, watching them stiff and even shaking, he couldn't help but raised his hand and scratched his head.
Am I so scary?
He was a little puzzled.
He thought for a while and asked: "Are you full?"
On the ground where the needle can be heard, Garlan's voice is very clear.
But after he asked, the whole venue became more quiet.
The slaves who bowed their heads were a little confused for a while.
Not only them, but Seth and the guards who waited for the prince to speak were also dumbfounded.
Only the blond knight turned his head and didn't hold back a puff, then quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and pretended to cough slightly.
Everyone suspected that they had auditory hallucinations.
However, the teenager who made them think that he had a strange hallucination saw no one answer, and repeated his question again.
"Are you full?"
This time, he even raised his voice.
So, the phrase ‘are you full?’ echoed and echoed in the empty sky of the entire Kichang.
Everyone: "..."
The slaves raised their heads slightly, looked at each other, staring at each other, for a moment they didn't know how to answer, and didn't dare to answer.
After a long time, a thin, thin teenager who was still young and underage looked up secretly, glanced at Garlan on the stage, and remembered the bowl of fragrant rice porridge, he swallowed, and finally, hunger defeated fear. He was heartbroken and answered Garlan's words.
"His Royal Highness, no..." He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not full!"
A half-sized child is the most edible time, a bowl of rice porridge and a cake can only provide a bottom for the stomach.
Now that he had already spoken, he would give it up.
"That...the great, noble, and kind prince..."
He slapped Garlan's flattering awkwardly, and carefully looked at Garlan's face.
"Can you give us some more food? We will be grateful to you."
Seeing how the thin young slave looked awkwardly and nervously at him, Garlan smiled.
"Okay." He said, "When I finish speaking, I will give you more food until I'm full."
The young slave stayed for a while.
The prince laughed so beautifully.
He thought to himself.
He was still uneasy, but seeing that smile, he was inexplicably calmed down.
A person who can smile so beautifully must be a good person.
He thought so.
Seeing Garlan and the young slave finished talking with a smile, it was not terrible, plus they promised to feed them again, the other slaves were happy, and suddenly they were not so nervous.
Listening to the prince's tone, there is something to say to them.
Many slaves wondered.
Slaves like them are humble, and even civilians look down upon them. What will the noble prince say to them like this?
"Do you want to be free from slavery?"
Gallan's next sentence made many slaves who had just relaxed again tightened their hearts, lowered their heads, and pressed them tightly to the ground.
"I know if anyone among you is saying that while the pirates are attacking the city, the army has no time to take care of this side. You can resist together and then run away, so that you are no longer slaves of low status."
The prince's words made the slaves more and more trembling, and their breathing became more rapid.
"But you can't escape." Gallan said, "not just you, but also me, as well as the rest of Tozes City. No one can escape."
"Torzes City is already surrounded by pirates. Do you think that if the pirates come in, they will let you go?"
Will not.
All slaves knew in their hearts the cruelty of those pirates.
"When Tozes fell, no matter who he was, no matter what he was, he could not escape the fate of being killed."
"This is a crisis, but at the same time, it is also an opportunity for you as slaves."
The boy on the high platform said, his golden eyes looked down at the crowd.
"Now, the strength of the guards is insufficient, and we need manpower."
A bunch of slaves felt tight.
Does this mean to let them go on the battlefield and fight the pirates desperately?
Fear of battle and death began to grow in their hearts.
"I know that to let you fight against the pirates on the battlefield is to cost you your lives. You will not be willing."
Garland said,
"So I don't force you. Those who don't want to go to the battlefield can not go."
The nervous slaves all breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, the price of being the one who is willing to pay his life to protect this city-any slave, no matter what he was in the past, as long as he has not violated the laws of Aaron Landis."
The boy took a deep breath and raised his voice.
"Any slave, as long as I kill a pirate, I will abolish him as a slave and give him a free man."
At the moment Gallan's words fell silent, Kiba was silent.
It's as if time has stopped at this moment.
Then, with a bang, like a volcano that erupted suddenly, the whole Kiba exploded.
Once you become a slave, you will be a slave for the rest of your life.
Not only myself, but my children, grandchildren, and offspring are slaves to mermaid.
They will always be the lowest and the most humble in this country, like a grassy existence.
Perhaps there will be a few lucky slaves who are born with outstanding military strength and get the eyes of their masters, and their status as slaves will be abolished. But such slaves are rare, and there are only a few of them in thousands of years.
Born as slaves, because they were born guilty.
The status of being abolished as a slave is something that slaves dare not even dream about.
There are also a few calm, knowledgeable people in this group of slaves.
In the beginning, when the other slaves' moods were ups and downs following Garlan's words, they all just knelt on the ground with their heads down, motionless, and their expressions did not change much.
Most of these people were well-known among slaves and had the power to summon.
At this moment, their faces couldn't help showing shocked expressions, they suddenly raised their heads and looked at the prince above with unbelievable eyes.
Their eyes were unbelievable, but there was a trace of deep desire in them.
Perhaps there are slaves who have been enslaved to the point of numbness in their thinking and even unwilling to regain their freedom. However, for these self-conscious people, as long as there is a little possibility, they will be grasped like a straw. .
They are eager to get rid of this humble identity.
Gallan continued to speak.
"If you can kill more pirates, you can use this credit in exchange for your relatives and friends to become free people, and you can also use them in exchange for food and money. As long as you have enough warfare, you can even use it in exchange for Tozes's. Housing land."
The buzzing in Kiba was even louder this time.
Among the whispering slaves, there was a sturdy, dark-skinned, mature slave looking up at the prince above.
His appearance looks very simple and honest.
Before that, no matter what Gallan said, he just lowered his eyes, silent, his eyes were silent, like a pool of stagnant water, without any clues.
And now, he looked at Garlan's eyes with an unprecedented look.
The muscles all over his body were tense, his fist as big as a fight was clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand violently.
"His Royal Highness Prince!"
He suddenly shouted loudly.
His voice was unusually loud and deafening.
"Just killing the pirate can abolish the status of a slave, do you count it!"
The words of this middle-aged slave surprised the surrounding city guards and shouted in anger.
"Presumptuous guy!"
"How dare you question His Royal Highness—"
"Bastard stuff!"
Some city guards even turned their heads angrily and said directly to Garland.
"His Royal Highness, please allow me to punish this slave who dares to offend you!"
The slave did not speak, but stared at Garlan with a pair of eyeballs.
This person has always been a powerful and charismatic person among the slaves. His shouting made the buzzing Kiba suddenly quiet.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes all cast towards the high platform in front of them at this moment.
They waited for the prince's answer quietly, nervously, and hopelessly.
On this silent land, Gallan stretched out his hand.
He stretched his right hand flat in front of him.
"At this moment, what I say will be witnessed by Shamash under his watch."
At the moment when the boy spoke, it was as if the sun god Shamash heard his voice.
The fiery red afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, as if covering him with a golden-red flame.
Looking down at the slaves who were kneeling down, Gallan stretched his right hand forward under everyone's gaze, reflecting the sunset, slowly clenching into a fist.
That was the act of Aaron Landis making an oath to Shamash, the god in charge of the oath.
"Any slave who has never violated the laws of Aaron Landis, as long as he has made merits in the battle of defending the city, I will pardon him as a slave!"
He says,
"In the name of Prince Aaron Landis, here I am making this covenant with you—"
The loud voice of the teenager echoed over the empty wooden field.
The mature slave took a deep breath.
Then he leaned over again.
Like all the slaves around him who had leaned over and bowed their heads, he pressed his hands on the ground, bowed his head deeply, and pressed his forehead tightly to the ground.
This time, from the bottom of his heart, he leaned over and bowed his head to the young prince.
Throughout his life, he will remember this moment.
…………
[Tozes's Oath].
This event is called this in history.
That was the first large-scale slavery liberation event by Aaron Landis.
It is also the starting point for the faltering of slavery.
According to historical records, in the history of Aaron Landis, during the reign of the young king known as the "Sage King", he liberated countless slaves of Aaron Landis.
Although he failed to completely abolish slavery, his actions made the cornerstone of slavery as the mainstream begin to shake and accelerated the demise of slavery.
This is one of the reasons why he was called the "Xianming King" by later generations. Fupin Chinese
