Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Massimus did not refute, nor did he resist, and let Gaius catch him, but Gaius's fist did not fall, because the surrounding slaves embraced him.

The little riot in the square made the officials of the slave management office who had not left yet look very bad, and the head of the slave, Ecarus, was even more angry, and immediately asked the soldiers to arrest him.

When Gaius was cut back with his hands and pressed on the ground, he still broke his mouth and yelled. The foreman gave him a mouth directly, hitting his teeth, bleeding blood, and half of his face suddenly swollen. "I couldn't speak clearly, but my eyes were still glaring fiercely at Massims.

Massimus always dared not make eye contact with him and stood motionless, even if Gaius was taken away, he did not raise his head.

The slaves were soon led by the foreman to the mine, leaving only the lonely man in the large square.

At this time, the head of the slave camp, Ecarus, walked over, patted his shoulder, and said with a long heart: "You are doing right! Those stupid people can't see the situation at all, the kingdom is so powerful, they are so small. What a small conspiracy can do is a joke!..."

Massimus felt that his words were a bit harsh, and he raised his head and asked, "Master Acarus, I am free now. Can I leave here now?"

"Of course, you are now a free man. However, you have been in the slave camp for so many years and you don't know the situation outside. You suddenly leave here and live in the towns of the kingdom. I'm afraid you will be very uncomfortable. If you are not careful, you may violate the Kingdom’s laws and regulations and affect your future development. It is better to stay in the camp and work as a hired worker here. After all, you are very familiar with this place, and you are well-educated and able to write Dai The Lia script can be a manager here, which is more conducive to becoming a citizen of Dionysia earlier. While working for the camp, you will slowly become familiar with the city of Turui and our kingdom ..."

The reason why Akarus said this to retain Massimus is because after receiving the order from the slave management office, he specially sent someone to understand the amnested Roman slave and learned that he was superior in ability. This moved me to want to add talent to my camp.

"Thank you Master Acarus for your attention, I will consider it carefully." Although Sims admitted that Acarus said it was reasonable, but he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, so he was a bit perfunctory. .

Ecarus also saw it. He still smiled and patted Masim's shoulder, saying: "Go back and think about it, even if you don't have this plan now, what I said will be valid for one year. Right , You can now go to the management office of the camp to register and receive your bronze slave."

Because the amnesty concerning him was so loud this time, he quickly completed the formalities, and even if he had some rent not paid, the office staff exempted him and said: "This is the slave management office. Special announcement, thanks to the kind King Daveus!"

Masim finally got the bronze medal of slavery that all the slaves dreamed of: this bronze medal is rectangular, only the size of the index finger, and the word "freedom" is engraved in the middle, and there is a number on the top.

The bronze medal is very simple to make, and it seems easy to imitate, but in fact this bronze medal is just an identification certificate, which is shown to the usual inspectors during the inspection. What really matters is that his name is registered in the Kingdom Slave Administration.To know whether it is public or private, as long as you buy and add a slave, you must register with the Kingdom Slave Management Office, record the appearance of the slave, give him a fixed number, and brand it on the slave Buttocks.

On the one hand, the slave management office will regularly check the survival of the slave according to the roster, and if it is found that it may be abused and tortured, the court personnel may come to the door; on the other hand, once the slave runs away, the slave management office will The information of the fugitive slave was provided to the inspectors of various towns, and the arrest was carried out. Once captured, not only did they end miserably, but they never had the opportunity to be free.

And after Sims's name was removed from the slave roster, he was already a free man.

Massimo carefully put the bronze medal on his chest, and strode back to his home.

When his two children came out to meet him happily, the heavy guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared: I did nothing wrong, my children should not be trapped in this cage, they should be happy like other children Study in Dionysia's school...

"Masims, you...you stole back from the mine! What can I do?! Go back quickly! Go and confess to them wrong..." The wife Fulvia was very scared, she Misunderstanding that the husband appeared at home at this time.

"Fulvia, we are free!" Massimus said to her excitedly, holding her child.

"what did you say?"

"I mean I have become a free man, this is the bronze medal I got from slavery!" Massims handed the bronze medal to his wife.

Forvia carefully read the bronze medal several times, and couldn't believe it: "Is this...really?"

"Of course it is true, we can leave here! Leave now!" Masim said firmly.

Forvia did not respond, clenching the bronze medal with one hand, and covering her face with one hand, tears streaming down her fingers...

"Mom, why are you crying?" The two children cared for Forvia's clothes.

Massimus stepped forward and embraced his wife vigorously, saying in a deep tone: "Folvia, we will no longer be slaves from now on! The children will not be slaves anymore! We will have A better life!"

"Uh!...Uh!..." Fuerweiya nodded sobbingly.

For several years, Maximus had not accumulated any valuable possessions in the slave camp. The family quickly packed the parcel and walked towards the camp door.

Seeing the heavily armed guards standing guard at the camp gate, Forvia and the children subconsciously hid behind Massims.

But instead of stopping them, the guards congratulated Masims. It seems that the "he was pardoned" has spread throughout the camp and became a celebrity in the slave camp.

As he walked out of the camp, Maximus took a deep breath of fresh air, and before he could recall it, he saw a person approaching on the face, and his heart sank.

"Masims, congratulations!" the man said aloud, with a smile on his face, completely different from the sinister expression of the last time he was interrogated in the camp.

Massimus stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your help!"

"It has nothing to do with me. This is totally His kindness!" said the man seriously, and then he asked again: "Now you are a free man, what are your plans?"

"First apply to become a Dionysian citizen at the Turriy register, and then go to find a job to earn money to support the family." Massims didn't know what the other party asked for this purpose, so he answered carefully.

"This is indeed one of the most commonly used methods of survival for liberated slaves, but now the situation has changed."

With a move in his heart, Maximus just wanted to ask: "What has changed?"

However, the man said: "Are you interested in coming to work here? Our intelligence department is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty. Not only is the salary low, but also easy to make contributions, you will become a Dionysia citizen in a shorter time."

Massims doesn’t know much about Dionysia’s regime, but just from the literal meaning of the “intelligence department” and the last personal experience, he can probably guess what they are doing, psychologically very Contrary to the fact that he was scolded by his compatriots face to face with the traitor, this time in his life was enough to grieve his heart.

"I'm sorry, I just want to live the life of ordinary people." Masim said quietly.

The man seemed to anticipate that he would respond in this way, without showing any dissatisfaction. He shrugged and said, "Well, I hope you are doing well! This is our reward to you, and I have a little bit of pleasure!"

The man took out a heavy wallet and handed it over.

The word "reward" stung him, and he instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Hold it, and you will soon know that life in Turri is not easy, and it is impossible without money." The man looked at the two children behind him and said seriously.

This made Massim hesitate, and then he felt that his wife was squeezing his arm: Yes, in the past few years, he has used his hard-earned salaries to the Dionysian language. During the study, there is no much savings...

He lowered his head, took the purse, and said a little shamelessly, "Thank you..."

"If one day you change your mind, you can come to the white house next to the West City Outer District Inspection Station. If someone stops you, it is said that Tratus asked you to come."

Massimus nodded and said that he heard it, but did not respond in a loud voice. He led the two children, took his wife, and carried the parcel to the east.

"Boss, even if he doesn’t want to, he’s a bait anyway. Even if he doesn’t cooperate, as long as we look at him, we can continue to arrest those who want to avenge him and revenge the old Roman nobles of Servius. accomplice."

"The number of Roman citizens in the city of Turui is increasing, and we now lack people who really understand them and can gain their trust, not to mention that I have checked the past of Massims, and his ability is also very good." Tratus Looking at the back of the Masim's family, there was a playful smile on his face: "When he hits the wall, maybe we still have a chance."
