Zhao Hai waited until the sun was completely out of the ground before his mood calmed down. Yes, this was the first sunrise he saw in this other world. That magnificent scenery made him feel carefree and happy. His heroic spirit was aroused, so he couldn't help but say those words.
When Zhao Hai turned around, he discovered that Green and the others were standing below the city wall. Behind them stood a hundred slaves. It could be seen that these slaves had been carefully selected. There were half men and half women, and they were all very strong. None of them were sick, and now they were all very clean. The clothes on their bodies were also very clean. Only the male slaves' faces were branded with a mark. That mark was on their foreheads. It was a mad dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was the Buda clan's emblem, made according to their family's battle qi.
When Green saw that Zhao had seen them, he immediately bowed and said, "Master, the Buda clan's glory will definitely shine on the earth. Please give us a lecture." Zhao nodded and said, "Master, the glory of the Buda clan will definitely shine on the earth." After he finished speaking, the slaves behind him all fell to their knees. One of their heads hit the ground. No one dared to raise their head to look at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai was only an ordinary otaku in his past life. He had never seen such a scene before. For a moment he was stunned there, at a loss of what to do. He really didn't know what to say.
After a while, his mood slowly calmed down. Seeing that Green and the others were still bent over and hadn't gotten up, he quickly said, "Grandpa Green, you all get up. Everyone else get up too. We've arrived at a place like this, where there's nothing. There's no way to cultivate the land, there's no ore in the mountains, we only have this abandoned castle as our shelter. And all of you, at the same time, also have a common identity. Buda, whether you like it or not, your bodies have already been branded with the Buda clan's brand. You are already a member of the Buda clan. If the Buda clan exists, you have a need to exist. If the Buda clan disappears, you will also disappear. This is an unchangeable fact. Yes, right now we have nothing, but we have a pair of hands. Everything in this world is created by human hands. Every one of us has a pair of hands, so we won't starve to death. We will make our lives more beautiful. Most of you are slaves. You will think that whether your life is beautiful or not has nothing to do with you, because no matter how beautiful your life is, you are still slaves. But what I want to say today is that as long as you work hard, as long as you can make offerings to the Buda clan, then I can remove your slave status and let you become commoners. Your children will no longer be slaves. Perhaps one day they can join the Buda clan's army and become a glorious soldier. If they perform well, they may become a knight, a noble. I ask you to do your best, and I will also give you the best. As long as you work hard, I, Adam Buda, swear here on the honor of my clan, that I will fulfill my promise today!"
A slight disturbance occurred among the slaves. One must know that before these slaves were bought, they were all professionally trained. When their master was reprimanding them, they weren't allowed to move. Even if they wanted to fart, they had to endure it. This kind of disturbance shouldn't have occurred.
But Zhao Hai's words were really too shocking. On the continent, there had never been a noble who would turn slaves into commoners. Once you become a slave, you would be a slave for generations to come. Even your children and grandchildren would be slaves. This was something that couldn't be changed.
If Zhao Hai only spoke empty words, these slaves wouldn't have believed it. But Zhao Hai swore on the honor of the Buda clan. One must know that the nobles of the Ark Continent didn't easily swear. Even if they did, they wouldn't swear on their family's honor. This was something that all nobles valued the most. As long as they swore on their family's honor, they would definitely do it. In other words, what Zhao Hai said was all true!
What was a slave's biggest wish? One day, they could become commoners and regain their freedom. They could let their children and grandchildren no longer suffer as slaves. For this reason, a lot of slaves resisted. They rebelled and revolted, but they were quickly suppressed by the nobles. This was because they were only slaves. They didn't have weapons, they didn't have armor, they didn't have Battle Qi. In this case, it was impossible for them to fight against the nobles who were armed to the teeth.
Now Zhao Hai was telling them that they didn't need to revolt. As long as they worked hard, as long as they could contribute to the Buda clan, they would be able to obtain commoner status. For these slaves, this was really like a dream.
It was necessary for slaves to work hard. If they didn't work hard and were discovered, they would be executed. Even if they weren't executed, they would still receive the most severe punishment. Therefore, none of them dared to be lazy. Now someone was telling them that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to get what they wanted the most. For them, this was too big of a shock.
Green and the others were also stunned. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would say such a thing. To tell the truth, Green didn't quite agree with Zhao Hai's words. Because it was necessary for the slaves to work hard. Moreover, no noble on the continent would let a slave become a commoner. There were too many things involved in this matter.
But now that Zhao Hai's words had already been spoken, he had no way to refute. He could only wait until they returned to the inner castle to properly explain the situation to Zhao Hai.
Glancing at the people below, Zhao Hai knew that for them to have such a reaction was already pretty good. From Adam's memories, he already knew the status of these slaves. It was precisely because he knew this that he used the thing these slaves wanted the most to entice them.
Human creativity was endless. As long as they were given hope, they would erupt with energy that was hard to imagine. And now, Zhao Hai needed them to erupt with this kind of energy. Therefore, he did this.
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with their reaction, so he continued, "You can think of various methods. As long as you can let the Buda clan obtain benefits, or make something that can improve your lives, you can take anything useful to Steward Green. As long as I believe that what you make is useful, is good, I will record your merit. As long as your merit reaches a certain degree, you can become a commoner. Even if you don't do anything, as long as you work hard, as long as you perform well, you can obtain merit. As long as this merit accumulates to a certain degree, you can become a commoner. You can become a child of our Buda clan, a member of the Black Earth Territory."
The slaves became even more excited. They now simply regarded Zhao Hai as a god, because only a god would be so benevolent. All of the slaves' bodies unexpectedly erupted with an imposing aura. This imposing aura actually made Green, who already had the strength of an eighth level warrior, feel somewhat apprehensive.
Green turned his head to look at the slaves. He discovered that the slaves' bodies seemed to have something extra. Before, when he looked at these slaves, he always felt that they were lifeless, like stone. But now, they were like people, with more vitality, more energy.
Green's heart shook. He suddenly understood Zhao Hai's approach. If the Buda clan wanted to develop, relying on a hundred lifeless slaves would be impossible. But if it was a hundred people full of energy, then it would be completely different. Green didn't know what a hundred people with energy could do, but what a hundred slaves could do, he was very clear. Green let out a long breath, his face revealing a sincere smile. At the same time, there was a trace of unswerving determination. He believed that the Buda clan's opportunity to start anew was coming.
Zhao Hai also felt the changes in the slaves' bodies. He faintly smiled, knowing that his words were effective, so he immediately said, "Good, you go to work. First, arrange these supplies. Tomorrow, there will be new tasks for you." The slaves complied and quickly walked towards the supplies. Their footsteps were more powerful than before, and their bodies were full of energy.
Zhao Hai nodded with satisfaction. Coming down from the wall, he slowly walked to Green's side and said to Green, "Grandpa Green, let's go back. I have some things to ask you."
Green complied and led Merine and the others, following behind Zhao Hai as they walked towards the inner castle. Looking at Zhao Hai's back, Green knew that Zhao Hai had really changed. He was no longer the young master Adam who only knew how to cause trouble. He was now the Buda clan's patriarch, a true patriarch.
The group quickly arrived at the inner castle's dining hall. After sitting down, Zhao Hai turned his hand and the half radish he ate appeared in his hand. He put the radish on the table and said to Green, "Grandpa Green, what do you think this is?"
Green didn't make a sound. Zhao Hai looked at Green strangely and found that Green was looking at his hand in a daze. He also knew why Green had such an expression, it was because he had just taken out the radish.
On this continent, there was also spatial magic. It was just that spatial magic was very difficult to learn and the requirements were very harsh. Therefore, not many people went to learn it. Although there were spatial equipment that could be used to store things, opening those equipment required energy. Whether it was magic or battle qi, as long as there was energy, it could be opened. As for him, someone who had drunk the Water of Nothingness, even if he had such equipment, he still wouldn't be able to open it, not to mention that he didn't have it.
Zhao Hai faintly smiled and said, "Grandpa Green, what do you think this is?"
Green recovered and excitedly stood up, saying, "Young Master, just now you? Just now you … "
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. That's an ability I inadvertently obtained. You only need to know, don't speak of it. Come and see what this is."
