Chapter 21 Sardinia Island (Part 2)

Brutus retching twice, then patted his head with his hand to relieve the pain in his cheeks. "I am willing to share the debt with Yulia after marriage. This is not a big problem. I also understood in advance. There are dozens of Tarant's debts - I have discussed with several taxpayers like Karabis. Once I take office, it will be no difficulty to accumulate so much money. Oh, are you Yulia's slaves?" He turned his eyes to Habaruka, the Phoenician.

"Yes, and it may not be so soon. The hostess will sell me to pay off the debt." Habaruka predicted calmly.

"Then you, Karabis, is Yulia's creditor?" Brutu then asked Karabis's question, which made him really not know how to answer.

After the ship landed on the anchor and docked, the three of them walked together because they had a common goal. Habaruka said that the houses and farms of the Libida family were on the Oristano plain in the southwest of the island. Brutu was also going to visit a Greek scholar in Cagliari, but was rejected by Karabis. "I must go to the camp of the Thirteenth Army camp in a half after a bazaar, and participate in the war against Bendu."

"I remember, you are Karabis, the hero who regained the Eagle Banner." Brutu was very excited. Although he was unhappy with the behavior of Mallo, the original owner of the Eagle Banner, the Eagle Banner, who was targeting the glory of the Republic, was very concerned. "I also want to enter the military camp as soon as possible and add glory to the Republic's life."

So they set off today, and Habaruka was familiar with the road. He rented three donkeys on the outskirts of the city, plus the unique horn saddles of Romans. He also rented a short Sardinian mare carrying luggage. The three donkeys along the way were very interested in the shaking mare's buttocks, shouting "hungryly", chasing the mare lightly and freely. It seemed that they were all rude guys, but the mare was very disgusted with the smell of the donkey and speeded up panic. The vineyards and wheat fields on the mountain next to the road kept retreating, and the blue blue of the sky slowly subsided in the setting sun. The clouds turned into deep pink, and finally crossed a bridge, haha

Baruka said that he could not get to the destination today, so everyone got out of the donkey and stayed in an unmanned shepherd's shack. Karabis asked Brutu to sit in front of the haystack. Then Habaruka set up a brazier and found a barbecue grill, a knife and a small jar of honey. Karabis found fat meat, onions, cider and feta cheese from his luggage, and poured the fat meat with honey. The pierced meat on the barbecue grill was filled with fresh aroma. He mixed cider and goat milk into raw onions. The three of them placed the wine milk onion salad and large pieces of barbecue on a plate, grabbed it with their hands, and the wind blew up, "Please enjoy the 'legion roasted fatty meat'."

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that the soldiers in the military camp could actually eat this kind of delicious food." Brutu said with envy while eating it.

Karabis looked at the ignorant young man and smiled. The army soldiers could still drink expired sour beer and wheat rice that had never been sifted! But he didn't say anything, but went to fill some forage for the donkey and the mare. After drinking and eating, Habaruka lay on the haystack at the door of the shack and fell asleep. Brutu and Karabis lay on the blanket in the center, looking at the stars in the hole on the roof of the shack, and continued to chat.

"You must be wondering why I came to propose to Yulia. In fact, my cousin, oh, Little Gatu's daughter, Portia, wanted to marry me - and I don't hate Portia, her hair was soft and black, like the soil of an olive garden."

Karabis smiled, "Because you are a philosophy researcher, they are all awkward. Maybe you are still worried about the grudges that the two families once had."

Hearing the teasing of the new knight, Brutu laughed haha. It was obvious that Karabis hit his mind, "Yes, I love my deceased father, and I hate Pompey, but I love the Republic even more. No matter what, the deceased father betrayed the Republic first and implicated another prominent family, so I have a sense of responsibility to bridge the rifts of the two families since I was a child."

As he said that, Karabis's ears moved twice, then gently got up, made a gesture of careful not to move around Brutu, and then pinned the sword on his waist, pulling Habaruka, who was sleeping with saliva, "Stand here, open your eyes!" Then, in the stable next to the shack, three donkeys shouted in unison, Karabis supported him with his hands, crossed the railing, and then fought with several people in the dark shadow of the stable. Those people had neither weapons nor fist courage, and were quickly beaten to the ground, twisting and moaning.

It was a group of thieves who wanted to steal mares, but when Habaruka came to see with the lights, he shouted everyone's name in surprise, "Why don't you stay in the Opherun Manor and stay by the hostess, but you have to run out fifty furons to come here to steal my horse?"

"What manor is there in Habaruka, Phoenician!? Yulia's creditor is coming soon. She owes twenty tarantes in total. Wheat alone can't be paid off. Yulia is ready to sell slaves, that is, we are going to sell them to lagoons or mines to work!" several people shouted.

It turned out that the granddaughter of old Li Bida has reached the point where he wants to sell slaves to pay off his debts.

"But you run out privately, Yulia will be sued for debt." Habaruka was still thinking about the hostess, "You can't leave the manor!"

In the darkness, the people cursed loudly. Karabis said to Habaruka, "Let them go. If they are really sold to the mine by your mistress, they may not live for two years." After that, Karabis threw a few silver coins to the people. The other party was as if he was amnesty. After saluting the Knight Master, he supported each other and ran towards the other side of the bridge.

"You are so nice to the runaway slaves, Karabis." Brutu said, coming out of the shack.

Karabis turned around, and under the light, the piercing of his left ear was suddenly revealed, "Yes, because I have also been a slave."

Now, it was Brutu's turn to be stunned.
