Maximus did not refute or resist, allowing Gaius to grab him, but Gaius' fist did not go down because the surrounding slaves hugged him.

The small riot caused in the square made the faces of the slave management officials who have not left look very unsightly. The slave leader Akalus was even more angry and immediately asked the soldiers to go and arrest him.

When Gaius was cut back and pressed his hands on the ground, he still yelled at him. The foreman gave him a slap in the mouth, causing him to lose his teeth, blood flowed, and half of his face suddenly became swollen. Uh..." He couldn't speak clearly, but his eyes were still staring at Maximus fiercely.

Maximus never dared to make eye contact with him, and stood still, even though Gaius was taken away, he did not raise his head.

The slaves were soon led by the foreman to the mine, leaving him alone in the huge square.

At this moment, Akalus, the leader of the slave camp, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You are doing the right thing! Those stupid people can't see the situation at all. The kingdom is so powerful, they What effect can that little conspiracy do? It's just a joke!..."

Maximus felt that his words were a bit harsh. He raised his head and asked: "Master Akalus, I am free now, can I leave here now?"

"Of course, you are now a free person. However, you have been in the slave camp for so many years and have no idea about the outside situation. If you suddenly leave here and live in the kingdom of the town, I am afraid you will be very surprised. If you don’t adapt, if you are not careful, you may violate the laws of the kingdom and affect your future development. It is better to stay in the camp and serve as an employee here. After all, you are familiar with this place, and you have a good education. You can become a manager here by writing Diorian characters, which is also more conducive to you becoming a Diorian citizen earlier. While working for the camp, you will gradually become familiar with the city and familiarity of Turri. Our kingdom..."

The reason Icarus said this to keep Massimus was because after receiving the order from the Slave Management Office, he sent someone to learn about this amnesty Roman slave and learned about him. Outstanding ability, this moved the idea of ​​cherishing talents, and wanted to add a capable subordinate to his camp.

"Thank you Master Acarus for your consideration, I will consider it carefully." Although Massimos admitted that Acarus was right, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, so he said It's a little perfunctory.

Icarus can also see it. He still smiles, pats Massims on the shoulder, and says, "Go back and think about it. Even if you don’t have this plan now, what I said will be valid within a year. . By the way, you can now go to the camp management room to register and receive your bronze medal for exorcism."

Because this time the amnesty about him was so overwhelming, he quickly completed the formalities, and even if he still had some rent not paid, the office staff forgave him, and said: "This is Special notice from the Slave Management Office, thank you kind King Daves!"

Maximus finally got the bronze medal for ex-slavery that all slaves dream of: this bronze medal is rectangular, only the size of an index finger, with the word "freedom" engraved in the middle, and a number on the top,

The bronze medal is very simple to make, and it seems easy to imitate it, but in fact this bronze medal is just a proof of identity, which is shown to the inspectors during inspection. What is really important is that his name is sold at the Kingdom Slave Management Office. To know whether it is public or private, as long as you purchase and add a slave, you must register with the Kingdom Slave Management Office, record the appearance of the slave, and give him a fixed number, and brand it on the slave Hips.

On the one hand, the slave management office will regularly check the slave’s survival situation every year according to the roster. If it is found that they may be abused and tortured, then court personnel may come to the door; on the other hand, once the slave escapes, the slave management office The information about the fugitive slaves will be provided to the inspectors in various cities and towns, and they will be arrested. Once caught, not only will they end badly, but they will never have the chance to be free.

After Maximus's name was eliminated from the slave roster, it meant that he was already a free man.

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

When his two children came out to greet 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 like other people’s children, Happy to study in Dionia's school...

"Maximus, you.........you sneaked back from the mine! What can I do?! Go back! Go and admit your mistakes..... "The wife Fulvia was panicked. She misunderstood her husband's presence at home at this time.

"Fulvia, we are free!" Massimus said to her excitedly while holding the baby.

"What did you say?"

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

Fulvia watched the bronze medal several times carefully, and couldn't believe it: "This is...really?!"

"Of course it's true, we can leave here! Leave now!" Massimus said confidently.

Fulvia did not respond, she clenched the bronze medal in one hand, and lightly covered her face with the other, tears streaming down her fingers...

"Mom, why are you crying?" The two children tugged at Fulvia's clothes caringly.

Masimus stepped forward, held his wife powerfully, and said in a deep tone: "Fulvia, we will no longer be slaves from now on! Children will no longer be slaves! We will have a better life!"

"Hmm!...Hmm!..." Fulvia nodded repeatedly with choking.

For several years, Mathims hadn't saved any valuable possessions in the slave camp. The family quickly packed up the packages and walked towards the camp gate.

Seeing the heavily armed guards standing guard at the gate of the camp, Fulvia and the children subconsciously hid behind Massimus.

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

Walking out of the camp, Maximus took a deep breath of fresh air. Before he had time to recollect, he saw a person approaching him, and his heart sank.

"Maximus, congratulations!" the man said loudly, with a smile on his face, completely different from the sinister and vicious look when he was questioned in the camp last time.

Maximus bit his head and said, "Thank you for your help!"

"It has nothing to do with me, this is completely your majesty's mercy!" The man said seriously, and then he asked: "Now that you are a free man, what are your plans?"

"First go to Turrii's household registration office to apply for becoming a Dionia citizen, and then find a job to earn money to support the family." Massimus didn't know what the other party meant, so he answered carefully.

"This is indeed the most commonly used way of survival for emancipated slaves, but now the situation has changed." The corner of the man's mouth was slightly raised, and he uttered a word.

Maxims' heart moved, and he just wanted to ask: "What has changed?"

But I heard that person say: "Are you interested in working here? Our intelligence department is directly under the jurisdiction of your majesty. Not only is the salary not low, but it is also easy to do meritorious services. You will become a Dionian citizen in a shorter time. "

Maximus doesn’t know much about Dionia’s regime, but only from the literal meaning of "intelligence" and the last personal experience, he can probably guess what they do. Psychologically, he was very resistant. The incident of "being scolded by his own compatriots for the traitor in person" was enough to hurt his heart once in his life, and he didn't want to experience it for the second time.

"I'm sorry, I just want to live the life of an ordinary person." Massimus said calmly.

The man seemed to have expected that he would answer like this, and did not show any dissatisfaction, shrugged and said, "Well, I hope you all go well! This is our reward for you, and a little bit of mine!"

The man took out a heavy money bag and handed it over.

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

"Take it, you will soon know that life in Turey is not easy. It is impossible to have no money." The man looked at the two children behind him and said seriously.

This made Maximus hesitate, and then he felt that his wife was squeezing his arm: Yes, in the past few years, he has spent all his hard-earned salary on Dionia In the study of language, there is not much savings...

He lowered his head, took the money bag, and whispered a little ashamed: "Thank you..."

"If you change your mind one day, you can come to the white house next to the inspection station in the outer city of West City. If someone stops you, it will be said that Terratus asked you to come."

Maximus nodded, saying that he heard it, but did not respond. He took the two children, took his wife, and carried the package, and walked eastward.

"Boss, don’t worry if he doesn’t want to. Anyway, he is a decoy. Even if he doesn’t cooperate, as long as we keep an eye on him, we can continue to catch those who want to retaliate against him and serve Servius. An accomplice in revenge for the nobility."

"The number of Roman citizens in Turriy 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 Massimus, and his abilities are also very good." Latus looked at the back of the Maxims family away, with a playful smile on his face: "After he hits the wall, maybe we still have a chance."
