Chapter 1285: Chapter 340: Survival Is More Important Than Anything (10,000 Words)_4

"It’s Captain Samuel!"

"Master Samuel has brought food to aid us!"

"Come out, everyone..."

"..."

Cheerful voices continued to echo.

One by one, thin and frail boys and girls stepped quickly out from behind abandoned buildings, surrounding Samuel.

Seeing these children with faces full of dirt, a rare smile appeared on Samuel’s face.

With a movement of his right hand, Samuel took the package off his shoulder and handed it to the girl with light golden hair in front of him.

Samuel said, "Nancy, distribute this food to them."

The light golden-haired girl reached out to take it and did not immediately open the package to distribute the food as instructed by Samuel’s words.

Despite the girl holding all the food.

The dozen or so children standing behind her had no intention of snatching it.

Even though their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

Nancy slightly raised her head, looking up at Samuel and said.

"Samuel, you don’t have to bring us food every week."

"We have no relation to you, and you bear no responsibility towards us."

Looking at Nancy, who only reached his chest and had a face full of seriousness.

Listening to Nancy’s words, Samuel didn’t mind at all, smiling once again, he said.

"If I hadn’t brought you food every week, you all would have starved to death six months ago."

"It’s one thing that you’re not grateful; you’re even blaming me now?"

Nancy frowned slightly and continued.

"You misunderstand; I have no intention of blaming you."

"I just want to tell you, you don’t have to feel responsible for us."

"Our life and death have nothing to do with you."

"You don’t need to spend so much money on us."

"With that money, you could go to the tavern and live it up, or to the brothel and have several women accompany you overnight..."

Listening to Nancy’s nonstop chatter.

Samuel’s gaze passed over Nancy, looking directly at the few little boys behind her.

Feeling Samuel’s gaze, smiles instantly appeared on the faces of the little boys.

Nancy, who was speaking, naturally noticed Samuel’s small gesture.

Nancy was instantly a bit flustered and exasperated.

"Samuel, I’m talking to you!"

"You always ignore my words!"

Samuel withdrew his gaze, looked at Nancy again, and smiled.

"I’m listening..."

Samuel’s words took a sudden turn, he continued.

"By the way, Nancy, I’ve found a good place for you all!"

Nancy wanted to say a few more words, but upon hearing Samuel’s words, her eyes widened.

"A good place?"

Samuel nodded and explained.

"Yes, at least in my view, that lord’s territory is a great place for you all."

"All the residents on his land can receive three free meals a day, live in red brick houses, and even have opportunities for education."

Nancy’s face was full of disbelief.

Three meals a day?

Living in a red brick house?

And having educational opportunities?

Such generous living conditions.

Shouldn’t only the children of the nobility and wealthy merchants in Kakasong City have those?

Samuel continued speaking.

"Moreover, that territory has tall defensive fortifications constructed."

"Unless there’s a large-scale soldier force attacking that land."

"Ordinary bandits, criminals, and exiles couldn’t even enter that territory."

"Plus, with that lord’s wise governance, all residents live and work in peace and stability..."

Nancy had no further questions, her eyes full of hope and yearning.

No need to worry about hunger, no need to worry about safety, everyone living in peace and prosperity...

Isn’t that what’s described as heaven in books?

Seeing Nancy’s expression, Samuel continued speaking.

"The meat you received in the last two months was bought with gold pounds from the lord!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had enough salary to buy you large quantities of meat..."

Nancy’s eyes widened, and she quickly asked Samuel.

"Samuel, where is the place you’re talking about?"

Hearing Nancy’s eager inquiry, Samuel didn’t waste any words and said directly.

"Samuel, are you speaking of the Lord of Morgan Town in Lorin, who burned Viscount Jon Zachary and his supporting manor lords, along with tens of thousands of troops, with a mountain fire—Lynn Blake?"

Samuel nodded calmly, "Yes."

Upon getting Samuel’s affirmative answer, disbelief reappeared on Nancy’s face, and she continued.

"In Kakasong City, rumor has it that Lynn is the Flame Demon!"

"How could he provide such living conditions to the residents of his territory??"

Samuel, unsurprised, responded.

"If I hadn’t personally gone to Morgan Town, to Lord Lynn’s territory, I would have thought the same as you."

"But having visited Lord Lynn’s territory and meeting with him twice."

"I found that Lord Lynn is not as the rumors say."

"I even feel that Lord Lynn is just a few years older than you."

Nancy’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise; she’s only fourteen now.

A few years older than her...

The Lynn, feared and trembled by all the residents of Kakasong City, could he have just come of age?

Speaking of this, Samuel’s expression turned earnest, he continued saying.

"But, Lord Lynn possesses something others do not!"

"As for what it is... I can’t say."
