Overgod Ascension - 558. Chapter 558 Free People (7000 Compensation)

Regardless of any universe, there is always a limit for all creatures to grow to their peaks. This is the racial limit!

Just like in the previous life, ordinary people will not be stronger than elephants, run faster than leopards, and see farther than eagles. This is limited by the rules. Unless extraordinary, they cannot be changed!

Now Wu Ming, through his clever insight, has exercised William to the peak that ordinary people can reach.

The strength, speed, and recovery ability are unparalleled, even wearing armor, can impersonate a knight, but there is one thing, that is, he is not extraordinary!

Thakur in front of him, although not far from his strength, has already obtained the seeds of extraordinary power, breaking through the limits of race!

Based on this, he has great research value!

“skin……”

Wu Ming treated with compassion on his face, but in fact his eyes flickered rapidly, and various data were collected: “It is relatively tough and seems to have been strengthened to a certain extent. Is it the effect of the holy oil of the knight?”

“It’s extremely muscular. It’s a strengthened head. It has broken the limits of ordinary people…”

“The bones are strong, like steel… No veins, auras, etc…. Is it pure physical ability?”

He saw the wound on Thakur’s back waist, only the size of a little finger, not deep into the flesh, but a purple circle, which was obviously poisoned.

‘This Thakur’s strength and physique are really amazing…’

Wu Ming clearly remembered the strength of the village before. He was able to train that swordsman and female archer. Obviously, the leader was also a powerful fellow.

Even though such a guy was beheaded by Thakur, it was a pity that he paid attention to his battlefield and didn’t pay much attention to Thakur’s strength.

Thakur, who did this feat, was shot with a cold arrow again, was poisoned, and was finally besieged by a large number of ogres before he was captured by a miss.

Moreover, his powerful physique has begun to heal itself, it is not that those cunning ogres have poured him too many devil flowers, maybe he can break through by himself!

Wu Ming thought silently, his expression made Thakur a little discolored.

He is a man, a man with a normal orientation!

How does it feel to see another man staring at his body with bright eyes?

Thakur was almost horrified anyway.

“Listen…Listen! William!”

He immediately said: “I am very grateful to you for saving me. As long as you return me safely to Niah Town, I promise that what you get will exceed your imagination…”

Under the looming crisis, his tongue seemed to regain its flexibility in a single stroke, especially aggravating the word Enron.

“My lord, I am not the only one who rescued you, but also Andrew, Brokentooth Henry, and the big guys Gail and Heim… It’s a pity that the last two have died in the hands of the ogres…”

Wu Ming retracted his gaze and said in a sad tone.

Thakur didn’t have the slightest doubt.

In his opinion, with the strength of a five-person team, it is a miracle to rescue him from the ogre team! It’s normal to lose one or two people.

“They will be praised!”

Thakur looked at Wu Ming: “My promise will not change either!”

He deliberately concealed a piece of news, that is, under the premise of getting enough food and clean water, he can recover a certain amount of mobility in only half a day, and safety is even more guaranteed.

But this is his last hole card, so naturally he won’t tell William.

“Thank you, sir, even if I bet on my life, I will send you to Niah Town safely!”

Wu Ming promised once again, but rolled his eyes in his heart:’After another day and night, you can almost recover 70% to 80% of your combat effectiveness, right? It even only takes six hours before you can be active… Is this defending me? ! ‘

Of course, there are some things that are best not to say to each other, so he pretends to be ignorant.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to take care of Thakur, he immediately asked about the knight and other extraordinary people.

In any case, Thakur is an official knight master, half aristocrat, and powerful. The news he knows is much more reliable than the bard, but Wu Ming has great value for money. feel.

…

Two days later, the town of Niah.

“finally reached!”

When they saw the town wall and the observation deck, Thakur and Wu Ming were relieved.

Because Thakur’s recovery later, plus two men and a horse, acted more quickly than when the brigade went.

The two of them had a rest for a long time, but in fact they returned here after only a day and a half.

“It’s Lord Thakur!”

From a distance, a wave of soldiers cheered when they saw Thakur.

Wu Ming noticed that a lot of people had been added to the city walls and the watchtower. He had obviously heard the news from the front, for fear that the ogres would take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack.

“I’m Thakur, open the door!”

Thakur regained his former temperament slightly, and looked at Wu Ming: “Dear William, I owe you my life, what do you want in return?”

After this time of getting along, he also knew that he had wronged William before, and the other party obviously didn’t have that kind of hobby.

Looking at William at this time, he felt that the other party was courageous and strategic, and his martial arts was quite good. He was a little stronger than his former servant, and he deliberately recruited Wu Ming as his new servant.

After all, his two knight attendants had already died on the battlefield, and the corpse capital was in the belly of an ogre.

The thought of this made his heart aching.

It’s not that I love those two attendants, but my ancestral armor!

That is the property of less than half a manor, a family heirloom! Now they have all been taken away by the ogres, and they have been split into so many parts.

Even if he set off again and wiped out that ogre tribe, he might not be able to get the whole thing.

“If I can, I hope to be a free citizen!”

Wu Ming made a slight expression of excitement on his face and said in a deep voice.

Thakur was taken aback, and then nodded: “Whether you get the status of a freedman first, leave it to me!”

Compared to the obedience, the status of this freedman is not easy, but it is still a bit lighter in return, but for Wu Ming, he still needs this most.

After all, as the former leader of Baron Terry, William had a semi-subordinate relationship with the Baron.

This not only limited his ability to serve other lords, but also made William have to bring his own dry food every year to serve the lords for a period of time as labor and military service.

Free people are different.

They have considerable autonomy. They are more similar to guests living in their residences, and they can leave at any time. The certificate of free citizens they bring allows them to settle in any town in the Fengying Plain without being interrogated by the guards.

Of course, it is no longer necessary to be exploited by tax officials in various names, and to be free to choose the services and official duties of the lord.

If you insist on classifying people, the freedmen will undoubtedly stand at the upper level of the town of Niah, only under the knights. Even if the instructor Lorian, the tax officer Feder, and the sheriff, they are not free. People only.

Ordinary people who climb this step are equivalent to encountering the ceiling.

If you want to become a nobleman, even if you are only a semi-noble knight, you also need chance and luck. It can’t be achieved with the efforts of a few or a dozen generations.

Squeak!

There was a riot on the city wall. After waiting for a while, the two doors slowly opened, and a group of people gathered around a nobleman to greet him.

“My Fengjun!”

Thakur immediately went down, half-kneeling in a knightly salute.

“Oh! Dear Thakur, it’s too good for you to have no facts!”

It was Baron Terry, as William remembered. He was in his thirties. He was wearing a bright silk embroidered and gold lace dress, with a wig on his head, and a thick powder on his face. He even approached slightly. , A strong and vulgar perfume smell came out, making Wu Ming frowned in secret.

Baron Terry personally helped Thakur up: “I heard that you were besieged by savages, which really worries me!”

Obviously, he is not an idiot either. He deliberately replaced some sensitive words such as “captive”. As a knight, being captured by barbarians is an expression of dishonor.

“Yes… I was seriously injured in the siege, thanks to this militia captain William, he saved me!”

Thakur pointed at Wu Ming.

“Dear Lord Baron!”

Wu Ming stepped forward, trembling and saluting respectfully.

“Well, great! Is your name William? You will be rewarded!”

Baron Terry obviously did not remember the soldier under his hand, he said casually, and took Thakur’s hand, and the two walked into the door together: “Takur, you are really a gift from the gods to be able to come back, poor Mrs. Sally almost fainted after hearing the news… But now it’s alright, her husband is back in perfect condition, to celebrate this, let’s start the banquet!”

Wu Ming followed humbly, and vaguely felt a look of surprise and surprise.

Looking back along his gaze, he immediately saw the tax officer Fide who was a little dodge, couldn’t help but smile, showing eight white jade teeth…

Wu Ming stepped into the lord’s mansion again.

In the hall, a large number of servants and maids were busy spreading out the white tablecloths, lighting the candles on the silver candlesticks, roasting fragrant suckling pigs, golden dripping roast chickens, and big chunks. White bread and wine like running water are delivered to the table.

Of course, Wu Ming is not qualified to enter the banquet hall.

After all, poor William is still just an ordinary tenant farmer, or the captain of the mercenary, what is it for a group of adults and noble ladies?

But at last he is also a hero, with a little preferential treatment, and he can get a piece of white bread, two roast chickens, and a bottle of wine in the back kitchen.

After eating and drinking, Wu Ming didn’t intend to continue pestering these adults, and went straight out of the mansion and returned to his cabin.
