Chapter 167
Queen Dany once explained to the people of oneself: "Palace of Compassion and Tranquility" written in True Dragon script, which means the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.
As the "Mhysa" of hundreds of thousands of slaves, Queen mother gave away houses, land, and wives, so don't be too kind.
It is obvious that under Queen Dany's rule, all the people are living a happy and peaceful life... maybe.
So the beautiful name "Palace of Compassion and Tranquility" was quickly accepted by the Yunkai people. In their spare time, the citizens were happy to go to the Grand Plaza in front of the pyramid to do some entertainment.
Well, it's not square dancing...
There are jugglers doing a show in a circle around the square, and there are also two shirtless wrestlers in the Hundreds of spectators rolled into a ball, and vendors shouted loudly to sell oneself's goods...
Two months later, Yunkai once again returned to its former glory.. ....no, more alive than before, there seems to be a mysterious power that has changed the mental outlook of the townspeople.
Denzo thought.
"Who are Shryke and Hill?" Redbeard said curiously on the side.
Bill smirked and explained, "Shryke..."
"Shryke, you're a slave! Do you know what a slave is?"
Before Culture Minister could explain, there was shouting loudly not far away, making his words come to an abrupt end.
Red-bearded Edward and the old mercenary Denzo looked in amazement, and saw a wooden stage built under the pyramid, almost flush with the first layer of the pyramid - in fact, the two were next to each other.
The wooden stage is backed by a blue curtain, with common stage props placed on it, as well as a few exaggeratedly dressed... Tokar robe slave-masters, and bronze collared slaves.
The stage was crowded with people on three sides, and there was almost a thousand spectators.
The three took a few more steps forward, and the voice of the theatrical performer became clearer.
Because the stage is three meters high, under the golden and red rays of light of the setting sun, Denzo and the others can even see the expressions on the actors' faces clearly.
I saw a fat "slave-master" with long black and red hair standing upright and wearing a gold tassel Tokar robe. The whip pointed at an old man kneeling on the ground and scolded: "I'll tell you what it is. Slave!"
Slave-master has a fat body like a big fat pig, and the makeup on his face is exaggerated to the extreme. He has red mouth and white teeth, and his face is ferocious. He looks like a heinous bastard; the old slave has a face Withered, his body was as thin as a hemp rope, and his face was full of misery, which made people feel sympathetic when they saw it.
Slave-master beat the old slave with Harpy's whip, and shouted arrogantly: "Your life is not yours, the money you earn is not yours, your daughter is not yours, as Your master, this Lord Good Masters has everything you have, everything! Do you understand?"
"But Hill is only 11 years old, and he is still a child. Lord Good Masters is kind enough to spare her !" The old slave with the collar hugged his head and wailed.
"Okay, okay, do you want my kindness? This Good Masters grants you a 'kindness'." The fat slave grinned and said to the "yellow silk cloak" standing on both sides: "Tomorrow I will bring Hill Going to the arena and letting Old Shryke have a good night's rest, my 'kindness' is not so easy to enjoy."
Denzo was attracted by the superb acting skills of the two actors and did not immediately enter the pyramid, but just stood there. , Watching quietly... Soon, the scene changes to the Colosseum. It turns out that the 'mercy' of Good Masters is a one-eyed wolf.
Well, it's called 'Good Masters'.
Old Shryke had an arm bitten off by "Good Hearts", right at the Colosseum, in the cries of Hill, as the wolf devoured the old man's arm, the Good Masters laughed and took possession of her.
Good Masters didn't make Hill oneself's lover. In fact, in the past two days, the disabled Shryke and the virgin Hill were left behind by him.
The scene changes scene by scene, maybe it's time to turn, Hill gradually grows up, and gradually recovers from the pain of childhood, she meets a handsome slave boy Mott.
Mott and Hill met, knew and fell in love with each other. Since then, the two have been exuding a sweet pink atmosphere for ten years, and even the background music has become sweet and cheerful.
Edward, who was sprinkled with a lot of dog food, couldn't help feeling relieved: "Mott is a smart boy, Gods bless, Hill also has a good ending."
Redbeard had been clenching his fists, his teeth were clenched, and his muscles were rising. If the stage was not a little high, he would have rushed up to beat that evil Good Masters with a full face.
"This scene was added at the request of Queen Your Majesty," Bill looked at the stage with a complicated look, "I couldn't understand her intention before, now..."
"Ai, keep watching." Culture Minister sighed inwardly.
10 years later, the little girl Hill grown up, under the witness of Shryke, married Mott who grew up in childhood sweethearts.
In the second year, the two gave birth to a lovely little baby.
In the past ten years, they have not been all smooth sailing.
How many times has Hill and Shryke faced life and death crises, how many times has the beautiful Hill been coveted.
Fortunately, Mott is extremely smart and uses clever means to defuse the crisis every time.
It can be said that Mott on stage is almost the smartest person Redbeard has ever seen in his life, so he is happy for Hill.
Unfortunately, when the two children were five years old, they were taken away by Good Masters and castrated as little Unsullied.
Even Mott is as witty as a god, and can't save oneself's son, because the main business of Good Masters is to operate Unsullied.
Redbeard clenched his fists again, gnashing his teeth again, even more angry than before, just furious.
But this is just the beginning.
In the 16th year, Old Shryke was hanged in Plaza of Punishment by Good Masters for sneaking away to visit his grandson.
In the 17th year, Mott and Hill had a daughter, but before the confinement was born, an Unsullied came to Hill, dropped a Silver Coin, and chopped off the little girl in front of her. baby's head.
Mott and Hill cried and were pushed to the ground by the yellow silk cloak, and watched as the laughed Lord Good Masters took the Silver Coin.
The musicians behind the stage curtain played sad and low music, which reminded the audience again what Good Masters said before: the life of the slave belongs to the master, the property of the slave belongs to the master, the child of the slave belongs to the master, Everything on the slave belongs to the master.
Smart and capable like Mott, virtuous and industrious like Hill, honest and forbearing like Shryke, cautiously managing a comfortable life for more than ten years, but it is more fragile than the sand castle on the beach, because the slave-master is a casual idea , collapsed immediately.
The slave cannot control the fate of oneself.
The slave needs to master the fate of oneself!
"Let me go, I'm going to kill that bastard!" Redbeard felt that oneself was Shryke, and Hill was oneself's daughter, burning all his sanity with rage, and he struggled, screamed, rushed Go to the high platform and kill the Good Masters.
Well, the dagger from the waist was pulled out.
"Edward, calm down, it's just drama!" Denzo grabbed oneself companion yelled.
"Hu, hu, hu..." Edward's blood-red eyes regained some clarity, he broke free from the old mercenary's wrist, and cursed in a low voice: "Slave-master damn it!"
But the drama isn't over yet, and Hill's tragic fate isn't over yet.
Three years later, Hill gave birth to two more children.
Mott learns the lessons from the past, and doesn't want the family to be reunited. As long as the child can survive, anything can be done.
Therefore, the second daughter was sold to Yunkai, and she would be trained as a bed slave; the second son was offered to Good Masters by Mott without telling his wife.
Hill went crazy when he learned that his second son would also be Unsullied, and stabbed her husband Mott to death with scissors...
Then, Hill was really crazy .
Even though it wasn't long before her eldest son failed the training to kill puppies and was chopped up by Good Masters and fed to the dog, Hill was just giggling on the side, without a superfluous expression.
"I'm going to kill that bastard, and no one will stop me—"
Well, Edward the Redbeard is crazy too.
Not only did Edward shout wildly, but the old poet, who has always been known for his sanity and wisdom, also blushed and his eyes were filled with murderous aura.
The audience nearby was even more violent, and the situation was almost out of control.
Fortunately, Dragon Queen is here.
Uh, a woman with silver hair and purple eyes, riding a black cloth dragon onto the stage...
When the great trial came, Mr. Good Masters was clothed When dragon was burnt to death with a mouthful of Dragonflame, Redbeard's intuition seemed to have a valve opened in his chest, and his anger and resentment all at once vented out.
So cool!
"Happy, heartwarming, Long Live the Dragon Queen!" Edward exclaimed.
"Burn the slave-master to death, long live Dragon Queen!" The audience cheered loudly, as if they had eaten Ginseng, they were all comfortable.
The drama isn't over yet after Good Masters burns.
In the last scene, Dragon Queen is holding a little Unsullied's hand and asks: What are you doing here if you don't go back and take pictures of Mother Gu?
Little Unsullied said: I want to join the Northern Expedition PLA, I want to help Queen Your Majesty take Yunkai, I want to go to Yunkai and help mother find the elder sister.
The actor's curtain call and the play ends.
"Aiya, this is Hill's son?!" Edward said happily.
"He's Stinking Insect? That's a good story." Denzo looked towards the middle age person next to him.
"Well, he is Stinking Insect." Bill looked complicated and nodded, "You think this is just a story? Hehe, if you have a chance, you can go to Astapor to see Hill, the real Hill, countless Hills!"
Redbeard Edward and Denzo fell silent.
Sun fell completely under the sea, and the sky became dark, but the drama on the high platform did not end. Butter torches were ignited and inserted in front of the stage. Under the roaring fire, the characters in front of the curtain Still clearly visible.
Soon another drama opens.
Denzo watched it for a while and found that, similar to Shryke, Hill and Stinking Insect, it is also about how miserable life is for the people under the slave system.
"The stage repair is so high, I guess I'm afraid of people like Edward rushing up to cut people?" He glanced at the red beard and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, you guessed it right. The actor who played Good Masters had a broken leg the first time he performed this kind of play on the street." The middle age person with deep eye sockets said with a smile .
"Isn't this kind of theatrical performance charged?" Red Beard looked around while holding a Copper Coin, but did not see the troupe who came to put it away.
"The nearby audience are all new Free Folks, and they don't have much money left. Afterwards, Queen will give subsidies according to the number of performances by the troupe."
Denzo's eyes flashed, probed: " I'm afraid Queen is going to bleed a lot, I guess there are many similar troupes in Slaver's Bay?"
"Not many," Bill said lightly, looking into his eyes, "very many, as many as Slaver's Almost everyone in Bay's 1.3 million people knows the Twenty Years a Slave series of stories."
