Children caught in extreme hunger are completely hungry and do not choose food, regardless of whether it is water or something, Carlotta instinctively feels that what he drinks can make him feel better.
She couldn't think of it, she was filled with ale.
Before the onset of alcohol, her blood sugar was almost zero, thanks to the cloudy ale.
Her spirit is only slightly better, and overall, the situation is still horrible.
"How do you feel?" Yevlo asked the girl gently.
"I..." Carlotta raised her little head with difficulty, and she noticed her sister who was eating the oatmeal from the corner of her eyes, and she couldn't help but shed tears of relief.
"Child, answer me."
"I...I feel better. But, I think I'm going to die..."
"Dead? You were discovered by me, you can't die."
The girl's eyes were filled with satisfaction and a touch of regret.
"My leg... is injured. I will still die."
"Some injuries?" Yevlo pulled away her shameful rags, and saw the knees that were dripping with thick water, and his legs were full of mud. The situation was really terrible. He subconsciously pressed his hand tightly to the girl's forehead, and the girl not only did not have a terrible fever, but her body was even visibly cold.
Carlotta slowly stretched out her hand and tried to grab the good man's clothes: "I... only one request."
"Request? Let's talk."
"I...I'm going to die, I just hope you saved my sister..."
At this time, the younger sister Ella, who had eaten the whole wheat cake, crawled over. She put her smile on her face and shouted heartbreakingly: "Sister! You will not die. They will save you and me, and we will all live well." "
"No, my injury is too serious." Carlotta looked at her sister sideways, "I just saw my parents and our people. They are all in the clouds. I should have...and I should go. Thinking, my soul will be gone soon."
"No! You can't go! We have to live well...uuu..." Ella burst into tears again, and she felt that her sister was already back.
But Jeflo felt that things were very boring, and he was not touched by this sisterhood. After all, in his experience, the child in his arms was just too weak, and she could not die if she poured her bag of ale into her, but at best she would be drunk.
Carlotta continued to mumble: "My lord, I only ask you to save my sister. I... I can see that you are a good person. I just hope you can treat her well, don't... let her be a slave."
"Slave? Why? Sometimes, being a slave is not a bad thing."
"No!" The girl's emotions became tense immediately: "We can't!"
"But, under our leader, you and your sister are already involuntarily. Do you really feel like you are going to die?"
"No! If I am a slave! I would rather die."
Now Jeflo found it very absurd. He and his brothers were ordered to collect the beggars in the streets of Mellaren, and they were transported to the north to be slaves to the Ross people.
Evlo comforted: "We can save you, you don't need to die. The price is that you and your sister will be slaves to a noble person. Don't worry, that noble person will treat his servant kindly. You two No more begging, no need to die sadly like a dirty mouse."
"No! We can't, only this. If you can, my sister will be your concubine. My lord, please..."
Yevlo really couldn't figure it out, what else could be tangled with a person who was about to starve to death? Could it be that this girl is as stubborn as herself?
Evlo was very pleased to see her obsession.
Before meeting the sisters, he and his brothers had been ordered to pick up ten children. It is amazing that there were all girls in there. Specifically, it is also a girl with no major physical problems.
From Ross to Mellaren, things like abandoning girls happen from time to time.
In this ancient society where the gap between rich and poor was extremely extreme, poor families were trying their best to train their own boys. Girls in the family are tools of labor. Once there are difficulties in life, they are the first to be driven out of the house.
Selling a girl to an old bust makes a lot of money, and some families will do it.
Or do the engagement ceremony for the daughter in advance.
In short, they are the first to be sacrificed in family difficulties.
Some stubborn girls resisted such a sad fate. They fled and became beggars. Or when the family encounters a disaster, the pillar of the family dies, and the mother has to beg with her child.
Little boy being a poor beggar? This kind of thing is very rare. As long as the child is not an idiot, someone will take him to his house as a servant.
What's more, the leader of the Mellaren tribe deliberately collects such orphans, stays with them and trains them as private soldiers who are loyal to their family only.
It stands to reason that Jeflo should obey Gould's order, and only take away the sister who is in a good state of mind and is not injured. This can be ignored by the girl with a serious leg injury.
Unexpectedly, this child is so stubborn, that he is dying, and insists on giving his sister a good way out.
This matter is really not easy.
Jeflo thought for a while, and reached out and fiddled with the girl's hair, especially the silver hairpin.
"Your card is actually silver. I already know your name. Carlotta, you and your sister are not like ordinary beggars. I don't dislike your filthyness. Can you tell me your story now? ?"
Her own suffering can be described as a scar. Since the nobleman wanted to know, she said it all.
Now, it was Jevlo's turn to tremble all over.
"Ostala people, are you Ostala people? Are you really the granddaughter of the leader of Ostala? It's incredible."
"My lord, it's true." Carlotta said with tears: "God forgave us and did not grant us death the first time. Maybe it was all to wait for your help. It must be Goddess El, let my sister meet Here comes you. I think my task ends here."
Ostarans? Jeflo heard the gold master mention this tribe. They are a group in the south with a power equivalent to that of Ankras. They are masters of a large group of cattle and sheep, and they have been competing with the landing Goths for the first place in the cattle ranch. First line.
Because Gould didn't have the time to go to the dangerous southern border, but he had a lot of dealings with the second traffickers who sold cowhide.
Jeflo felt that the girl's words were true. They were indeed the survivors of the Ostara people, and they were also quite status children.
Yes, only such a child is more likely to die for honor.
Another proof is the legend that began to circulate in the Mälaren bazaar in the past few days, that is, the Ostara tribe, a big producer of cowhide, was completely destroyed by the Danish army.
Whether this is true or not, let’s not say for now, but the Mellaren tribe has indeed reacted to these rumors these days.
The Mellaren people are on guard, and there are more boats on the lake these days.
Just yesterday, Yevlo saw more than 20 dragon-head warships sailing eastward on the island of the gold master, and all the oarsmen on the boats wore bronze helmets.
This shows what? Military action? It seems so.
There is a rumor in the bazaar that the so-called ordinary males of the Melaren tribe have received the order of the leader Olekin to check the state of the armed forces of the [Apiston Novel] family. After receiving the combat order, they can immediately participate. war.
The more than 20 warships did not take any military action, but went to the small fishing village at the mouth of the lake in the east, and built a small stronghold there, beware of the enemy from entering the port of Mellaren from that direction.
The facts have become very legendary, and the Mellaren people are also trying to build a small fortress with strong strategic value. In addition, there is a tiny fishing village in the area. If it continues to develop, isn't this the embryonic form of Stockholm?
After all, those things are not in his own control. As a Finn, Jeflo is now following the gold lord Gould. A few months later, he was given to the Rus by the gold lord.
The Ross people are the next benefactors, and it is said that they are still more friendly and promising.
As for all the gathered children, they were all taken to the Rus as servants. According to what Jeflo learned from Gould, the leaders of the Russ, father and son, have obviously been madly eager to increase the population of the tribe in the past two years. As long as they are women, even foreigners with language barriers, as long as they can have children, they are their own. .
The children who were brought back to Gould Island by themselves became the mothers of the Ross tribe after a few years.
The Rus did this, and the gold master thought they wanted to replace the Mellaren as the new leader.
For himself, Jeflo thought that he would have a good future if he got their reuse.
Thinking of this, the father-like gold master is really not thin to himself.
Now, Carlotta still feels that she is dead soon. What is very strange is that she stayed in the arms of this strong man because she must have drunk before, and her spirit obviously felt much better. Perhaps, God allows himself to continue to live.
After thinking about some things, Yevlo patted the girl’s face again: "Carlotta, you said you are the granddaughter of Chief Ostara. Your silver card issuance made me believe in you. However, my benefactor may I don’t believe it very much. Do you... have anything to prove your identity."
"I..." Carlotta thought for a while, and said regretfully: "Maybe my sister and I should hold a shield of our clan when we escape. Or, it's my grandfather's sword. Those things are not women like us. You can get it."
"Then what else can you identify? At least, that you are an Ostara! For example, some tattoos."
At this time, Ella, who was watching, suddenly turned her back, picked up her dirty hair braids, and revealed her clean neck.
There was a tattoo with a "little bull head" pattern on the neck, and the girl asked weakly, "Is this a tattoo, my lord?"
"A calf? I don't know, child, maybe this can prove your identity. Don't worry, we will say to be kind to you, now follow me."
Having said that, Jeflor ordered her subordinates to pick up the weaker sister, and she directly picked up the weaker sister.
A subordinate said suspiciously: "Boss, is it really okay? Our sponsor said, don't get injured and sick children."
"This child named Carlota did have injuries, just skin trauma. If she is feverish, we really don't need to save her. Now she is obviously fine. Brother, we saved her with a bag. Let's do it as a good person. "
"Oh, boss, you are so kind."
"Benevolent?" Evlo smiled reluctantly: "Don't you think, these sisters are very beautiful? Let's go, we will go back now."
Just taking the two children home, Jeflo's men were really frustrated. They can't wait for everyone to pick up a child and receive a silver coin as a reward.
What motivated the mercenary captain? Is it just because the two children are so beautiful?
Pretty? Pooh! Dirty and hurt.
In this regard, everyone is worth ridiculing a guy who is unrelenting in fighting, and he has a kind heart.
In this way, Carlotta and Ella wandered in Mellaren for three days, miraculously boarded a long boat, and the destination was actually a small island.
The spirit of Carlotta was still confused, this time not because of hunger, but because she drank too much ale.
Above the lake, a dozen oars were rowing slowly, and both children were a little at a loss with their big eyes.
Yevlo teased: "You better be the nobles of the Ostara people. In this way, I think the Ross people will give you courtesy."
"Ross?" Carlotta asked slowly: "I know the Ros. My grandpa said that there is a man named Rurik in the Ros. He was... he was favored by God."
Jeflo was really taken aback, thinking about his future again, he said, "So you know them?"
"Because of that legend. The only son of the leader of the Rus has received the favor of God. We Ostra are ready to sell the cowhide to them, but...now it's all over." As she said, the girl's eyes flowed out two more lines. tears.
"Child, do you just know this?"
"Yes." Carlotta asked immediately: "My lord, where are we going?"
"Back to my benefactor's island."
"No! I'm asking, our ultimate destination. Are we really slaves? We are the granddaughter of the leader. According to tradition, we can only marry other tribes, not slaves. If we really are slaves, I... I would rather commit suicide by throwing water."
Strong temper at a young age? Carlotta didn't think so. If she wanted to die, she must have died long ago, and now she has become like this, it must be because of her sister.
Jeflo casually said: "I don't know much about the Ross people. You mentioned Rurik? The only thing I can tell you is that I will be the captain of Rurik's mercenary in three months. Do you think Rurik is A magical person? Well, you can see him in three months. If you two are real nobles, maybe the Ross people will take you in. It's better to be the leader's daughter. Who knows your future? Maybe it’s possible to become Rurik’s wife."
These two children were only shocked to drop their jaws.
For them, Rurik is just a legendary figure in the mouth of his grandfather. The so-called legend, to put it bluntly, is also the rhetoric of the Ross merchants over the years. It has been passed on to Ostara, where Rurik is described as "Odin's messenger" and other magical existences.
The mystery of Rurik is like that of the Ross tribe. They are all mysterious.
Yes, the Ross people are in the far north! Legend has it that they left Lake Mälaren a long time ago, just like the Ostra clan left the Yärmalen clan. That is all very ancient.
If it weren't for a large number of merchants who brought precious furs from the north into the Melaren Bazaar every year, the Ross tribe would have almost become a forgotten existence.
Carlotta asked again: "My lord, are you really the captain of Rurik's mercenary?"
"Me? Not for the time being, but it will be soon."
"Then you saved us, but also on the order of Rurik?"
"This... probably." The paddling Jeflo didn't want to say too much. It stands to reason that the girl's speculation is correct. My own benefactor came to Lake Mälaren to pick up the children at the invitation of Rurik of Ross. After the two children were picked up, Rurik saved them in theory.
At this moment, Carlotta continued to cry with tears in her eyes, and she was moved to cry this time!
She hugged her sister and cried, unable to control her emotions at all.
"Ella, everything is destiny. It was Rurik who saved us, the man praised by Grandpa, who saved us!"
Tears kept flowing on her sister's face, and Ella also shed tears for this emotion.
A pair of sisters are acting like a drama~www.novelhall.com~ They tell their stories in a crooked way, but they let the paddlers get bored.
Of course, most of them don't believe it. Even Jeflo, he is willing to believe that the girls' fantasy adventures are that their identities are still suspicious.
Gould Island is not far away, and now many merchant ships have docked there. The situation during this period was very good for Gould's business. The strange products from the Ross people attracted the entire wealthy people of Mellaren to find out. They bought some as long as they came, so the soaps imported by Gould didn't worry about selling at all.
Until the soap is sold out, merchant ships will only continue to stay on Gould Island.
Jeflo and others just guard the safety of the gold master, and then take money to do other things by the way, such as gathering beggars and buying slaves.
Many people have been settled on Gould Island today, and they will be transported to the Ross tribe to serve as servants.
Before determining the identity of the two children, Yevlo didn't think the sponsor would give them special care.
In fact, the benefactor has always been very polite to people and things. The benefactor gave all the people who bought enough food and shelter from the wind and rain. Is there anything more kind than this?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

But, I think I'm going to die...""Dead? You were discovered by me, you can't die."The girl's eyes were filled with satisfaction and a touch of regret."My leg... is injured. I will still die.""Some injuries?" Yevlo pulled away her shameful rags, and saw the knees that were dripping with thick water, and his legs were full of mud. The situation was really terrible. He subconsciously pressed his hand tightly to the girl's forehead, and the girl not only did not have a terrible fever, but her body was even visibly cold.Carlotta slowly stretched out her hand and tried to grab the good man's clothes: "I... only one request.""Request? Let's talk.""I...I'm going to die, I just hope you saved my sister..."At this time, the younger sister Ella, who had eaten the whole wheat cake, crawled over. She put her smile on her face and shouted heartbreakingly: "Sister! You will not die. They will save you and me, and we will all live well." ""No, my injury is too serious." Carlotta looked at her sister sideways, "I just saw my parents and our people. They are all in the clouds. I should have...and I should go. Thinking, my soul will be gone soon.""No! You can't go! We have to live well...uuu..." Ella burst into tears again, and she felt that her sister was already back.But Jeflo felt that things were very boring, and he was not touched by this sisterhood. After all, in his experience, the child in his arms was just too weak, and she could not die if she poured her bag of ale into her, but at best she would be drunk.Carlotta continued to mumble: "My lord, I only ask you to save my sister. I... I can see that you are a good person. I just hope you can treat her well, don't... let her be a slave.""Slave? Why? Sometimes, being a slave is not a bad thing.""No!" The girl's emotions became tense immediately: "We can't!""But, under our leader, you and your sister are already involuntarily. Do you really feel like you are going to die?""No! If I am a slave! I would rather die."Now Jeflo found it very absurd. He and his brothers were ordered to collect the beggars in the streets of Mellaren, and they were transported to the north to be slaves to the Ross people.Evlo comforted: "We can save you, you don't need to die. The price is that you and your sister will be slaves to a noble person. Don't worry, that noble person will treat his servant kindly. You two No more begging, no need to die sadly like a dirty mouse.""No! We can't, only this. If you can, my sister will be your concubine. My lord, please..."Yevlo really couldn't figure it out, what else could be tangled with a person who was about to starve to death? Could it be that this girl is as stubborn as herself?Evlo was very pleased to see her obsession.Before meeting the sisters, he and his brothers had been ordered to pick up ten children. It is amazing that there were all girls in there. Specifically, it is also a girl with no major physical problems.From Ross to Mellaren, things like abandoning girls happen from time to time.In this ancient society where the gap between rich and poor was extremely extreme, poor families were trying their best to train their own boys. Girls in the family are tools of labor. Once there are difficulties in life, they are the first to be driven out of the house.Selling a girl to an old bust makes a lot of money, and some families will do it.Or do the engagement ceremony for the daughter in advance.In short, they are the first to be sacrificed in family difficulties.Some stubborn girls resisted such a sad fate. They fled and became beggars. Or when the family encounters a disaster, the pillar of the family dies, and the mother has to beg with her child.Little boy being a poor beggar? This kind of thing is very rare. As long as the child is not an idiot, someone will take him to his house as a servant.What's more, the leader of the Mellaren tribe deliberately collects such orphans, stays with them and trains them as private soldiers who are loyal to their family only.It stands to reason that Jeflo should obey Gould's order, and only take away the sister who is in a good state of mind and is not injured. This can be ignored by the girl with a serious leg injury.Unexpectedly, this child is so stubborn, that he is dying, and insists on giving his sister a good way out.This matter is really not easy.Jeflo thought for a while, and reached out and fiddled with the girl's hair, especially the silver hairpin."Your card is actually silver. I already know your name. Carlotta, you and your sister are not like ordinary beggars. I don't dislike your filthyness. Can you tell me your story now? ?"Her own suffering can be described as a scar. Since the nobleman wanted to know, she said it all.Now, it was Jevlo's turn to tremble all over."Ostala people, are you Ostala people? Are you really the granddaughter of the leader of Ostala? It's incredible.""My lord, it's true." Carlotta said with tears: "God forgave us and did not grant us death the first time. Maybe it was all to wait for your help. It must be Goddess El, let my sister meet Here comes you. I think my task ends here."Ostarans? Jeflo heard the gold master mention this tribe. They are a group in the south with a power equivalent to that of Ankras. They are masters of a large group of cattle and sheep, and they have been competing with the landing Goths for the first place in the cattle ranch. First line.Because Gould didn't have the time to go to the dangerous southern border, but he had a lot of dealings with the second traffickers who sold cowhide.Jeflo felt that the girl's words were true. They were indeed the survivors of the Ostara people, and they were also quite status children.Yes, only such a child is more likely to die for honor.Another proof is the legend that began to circulate in the Mlaren bazaar in the past few days, that is, the Ostara tribe, a big producer of cowhide, was completely destroyed by the Danish army.Whether this is true or not, let's not say for now, but the Mellaren tribe has indeed reacted to these rumors these days.The Mellaren people are on guard, and there are more boats on the lake these days.Just yesterday, Yevlo saw more than 20 dragon-head warships sailing eastward on the island of the gold master, and all the oarsmen on the boats wore bronze helmets.This shows what? Military action? It seems so.There is a rumor in the bazaar that the so-called ordinary males of the Melaren tribe have received the order of the leader Olekin to check the state of the armed forces of the Apiston Novel family. After receiving the combat order, they can immediately participate. war.The more than 20 warships did not take any military action, but went to the small fishing village at the mouth of the lake in the east, and built a small stronghold there, beware of the enemy from entering the port of Mellaren from that direction.The facts have become very legendary, and the Mellaren people are also trying to build a small fortress with strong strategic value. In addition, there is a tiny fishing village in the area. If it continues to develop, isn't this the embryonic form of Stockholm?After all, those things are not in his own control. As a Finn, Jeflo is now following the gold lord Gould. A few months later, he was given to the Rus by the gold lord.The Ross people are the next benefactors, and it is said that they are still more friendly and promising.As for all the gathered children, they were all taken to the Rus as servants. According to what Jeflo learned from Gould, the leaders of the Russ, father and son, have obviously been madly eager to increase the population of the tribe in the past two years. As long as they are women, even foreigners with language barriers, as long as they can have children, they are their own. .The children who were brought back to Gould Island by themselves became the mothers of the Ross tribe after a few years.The Rus did this, and the gold master thought they wanted to replace the Mellaren as the new leader.For himself, Jeflo thought that he would have a good future if he got their reuse.Thinking of this, the father-like gold master is really not thin to himself.Now, Carlotta still feels that she is dead soon. What is very strange is that she stayed in the arms of this strong man because she must have drunk before, and her spirit obviously felt much better. Perhaps, God allows himself to continue to live.After thinking about some things, Yevlo patted the girl's face again: "Carlotta, you said you are the granddaughter of Chief Ostara. Your silver card issuance made me believe in you. However, my benefactor may I don't believe it very much. Do you... have anything to prove your identity.""I..." Carlotta thought for a while, and said regretfully: "Maybe my sister and I should hold a shield of our clan when we escape. Or, it's my grandfather's sword. Those things are not women like us. You can get it.""Then what else can you identify? At least, that you are an Ostara! For example, some tattoos."At this time, Ella, who was watching, suddenly turned her back, picked up her dirty hair braids, and revealed her clean neck.There was a tattoo with a "little bull head" pattern on the neck, and the girl asked weakly, "Is this a tattoo, my lord?""A calf? I don't know, child, maybe this can prove your identity. Don't worry, we will say to be kind to you, now follow me."Having said that, Jeflor ordered her subordinates to pick up the weaker sister, and she directly picked up the weaker sister.A subordinate said suspiciously: "Boss, is it really okay? Our sponsor said, don't get injured and sick children.""This child named Carlota did have injuries, just skin trauma. If she is feverish, we really don't need to save her. Now she is obviously fine. Brother, we saved her with a bag. Let's do it as a good person. ""Oh, boss, you are so kind.""Benevolent?" Evlo smiled reluctantly: "Don't you think, these sisters are very beautiful? Let's go, we will go back now."Just taking the two children home, Jeflo's men were really frustrated. They can't wait for everyone to pick up a child and receive a silver coin as a reward.What motivated the mercenary captain? Is it just because the two children are so beautiful?Pretty? Pooh! Dirty and hurt.In this regard, everyone is worth ridiculing a guy who is unrelenting in fighting, and he has a kind heart.In this way, Carlotta and Ella wandered in Mellaren for three days, miraculously boarded a long boat, and the destination was actually a small island.The spirit of Carlotta was still confused, this time not because of hunger, but because she drank too much ale.Above the lake, a dozen oars were rowing slowly, and both children were a little at a loss with their big eyes.Yevlo teased: "You better be the nobles of the Ostara people. In this way, I think the Ross people will give you courtesy.""Ross?" Carlotta asked slowly: "I know the Ros. My grandpa said that there is a man named Rurik in the Ros. He was... he was favored by God."Jeflo was really taken aback, thinking about his future again, he said, "So you know them?""Because of that legend. The only son of the leader of the Rus has received the favor of God. We Ostra are ready to sell the cowhide to them, but...now it's all over." As she said, the girl's eyes flowed out two more lines. tears."Child, do you just know this?""Yes." Carlotta asked immediately: "My lord, where are we going?""Back to my benefactor's island.""No! I'm asking, our ultimate destination. Are we really slaves? We are the granddaughter of the leader. According to tradition, we can only marry other tribes, not slaves. If we really are slaves, I... I would rather commit suicide by throwing water."Strong temper at a young age? Carlotta didn't think so. If she wanted to die, she must have died long ago, and now she has become like this, it must be because of her sister.Jeflo casually said: "I don't know much about the Ross people. You mentioned Rurik? The only thing I can tell you is that I will be the captain of Rurik's mercenary in three months. Do you think Rurik is A magical person? Well, you can see him in three months. If you two are real nobles, maybe the Ross people will take you in. It's better to be the leader's daughter. Who knows your future? Maybe it's possible to become Rurik's wife."These two children were only shocked to drop their jaws.For them, Rurik is just a legendary figure in the mouth of his grandfather. The so-called legend, to put it bluntly, is also the rhetoric of the Ross merchants over the years. It has been passed on to Ostara, where Rurik is described as "Odin's messenger" and other magical existences.The mystery of Rurik is like that of the Ross tribe. They are all mysterious.Yes, the Ross people are in the far north! Legend has it that they left Lake Mlaren a long time ago, just like the Ostra clan left the Yrmalen clan. That is all very ancient.If it weren't for a large number of merchants who brought precious furs from the north into the Melaren Bazaar every year, the Ross tribe would have almost become a forgotten existence.Carlotta asked again: "My lord, are you really the captain of Rurik's mercenary?""Me? Not for the time being, but it will be soon.""Then you saved us, but also on the order of Rurik?""This... probably." The paddling Jeflo didn't want to say too much. It stands to reason that the girl's speculation is correct. My own benefactor came to Lake Mlaren to pick up the children at the invitation of Rurik of Ross. After the two children were picked up, Rurik saved them in theory.At this moment, Carlotta continued to cry with tears in her eyes, and she was moved to cry this time!She hugged her sister and cried, unable to control her emotions at all."Ella, everything is destiny. It was Rurik who saved us, the man praised by Grandpa, who saved us!"Tears kept flowing on her sister's face, and Ella also shed tears for this emotion.A pair of sisters are acting like a drama~www.novelhall.com~ They tell their stories in a crooked way, but they let the paddlers get bored.Of course, most of them don't believe it. Even Jeflo, he is willing to believe that the girls' fantasy adventures are that their identities are still suspicious.Gould Island is not far away, and now many merchant ships have docked there. The situation during this period was very good for Gould's business. The strange products from the Ross people attracted the entire wealthy people of Mellaren to find out. They bought some as long as they came, so the soaps imported by Gould didn't worry about selling at all.Until the soap is sold out, merchant ships will only continue to stay on Gould Island.Jeflo and others just guard the safety of the gold master, and then take money to do other things by the way, such as gathering beggars and buying slaves.Many people have been settled on Gould Island today, and they will be transported to the Ross tribe to serve as servants.Before determining the identity of the two children, Yevlo didn't think the sponsor would give them special care.In fact, the benefactor has always been very polite to people and things. The benefactor gave all the people who bought enough food and shelter from the wind and rain. Is there anything more kind than this?
