Chapter 380 - Hearing my name (1/2)
Ray had just informed the ten previous slaves in front of him that he was the leader of the Redwings. From the look on their faces, even the news of the newly formed kingdom had reached their ears. Even though they were slaves, information often passed around them. In fact more freely than when spoken in front of others, for the people around them did not care.
It wasn't every day that an entirely new kingdom was declared so of course, they remembered this piece of information.
However, after hearing this piece of information, Katy, the original female slave who Ray had saved, her will did not falter. She moved even closer to Ray and placed her fist on the floor.
”I will gladly still serve you. Whatever they said about you must have been rumours that had been made up.” Katy said.
The other slaves were slightly hesitant after hearing Ray name the kingdom and knew that the entire Redwing army had been slandered to pieces. This was, of course, the doing of the empire. Very few knew the truth and the good deeds of the Redwings but chose to keep it a secret. If they willingly started to spread the word, they could very well go missing the next day.
After hearing Katy's words, they started to think a bit clearer, there was no reason for Ray to treat them nicely, and it also didn't make sense for him to lie about who he was. Why make everyone here scared and hate him after he had treated them so well.
Soon, after the rest of the slaves followed, moving to where Katy was. They hadn't changed their mind after finding out who Ray really was. Looking at the people in front of him, Ray couldn't help but let out a little smile.
'Oh, how times have changed when an entire village or town used to run from hearing my name' Ray thought.
”Katy is it,” Ray said as he held her hand and brought her up to her feet. ”Make sure you all buy whatever provisions you need. If you wish to stay with me then I will not refuse. I have some important business with Bob tonight. We will be leaving soon, so have everyone come back here later on tonight.”
”But how will I know when you are ready, or when you will be coming back?” She asked.
Ray looked at her and activated one of his skills.
In front of their very eyes, a large piece of paper came into view. It was a special Redwing contract. Ray didn't need to explain anything and allowed her to read it. However, after noticing how she had reacted so far, he was confident that she would accept. Her type of personality was exactly what the Redwings needed.
After reading everything over, like Ray had accepted she accepted the contract. Moments later and the Redwing symbol started to form around her collar and followed upwards on her neck.
