Roman Slave Owner

Memius didn't even care about eating, and rushed outside, but was stopped by a patrolling gendarme.

"Wait, your meal is finished, and you want to run before you finish your meal."

"Baoqian, I forgot something."

Memius said awkwardly, "I'll go back and eat."

Although the guards can eat whatever they want, they must finish the meal without leaving a single drop, otherwise they will be punished with twenty sticks. This is the military law set by Li Wei himself.

He went back and ate the bread and eggs in a few mouthfuls. Because of the speed, he almost choked. He drank half a bowl of wheat porridge in one mouthful and rushed out like the wind.

At this time, there were already many people standing in a place outside the cafeteria, and Memius managed to squeeze in.

A papyrus notice was pasted on it, and some information about the retainers was written on it, especially stating that if you become a retainer, you may not have a relationship with Roman officials in this life.

These three days are dedicated registration testing time, except for the staff on duty, there is no need for training at all.

Although it doesn't say what kind of treatment the retainers enjoy, and they can't become officials, but as long as they are not fools, they will know that this must be a good thing.

As for becoming an official, is this something ordinary people can imagine?

Ordinary people have no power, no power, and no prominent ancestors, so the possibility of becoming an official is infinitely close to zero.

After finding out how to register, he squeezed out immediately, and then walked quickly to the registration office.

The registration office was located on the first floor of a small three-story building. At this time, there was already a long queue at the registration office, and he had to queue behind.

One guard after another stayed in a small room for a while, and then left the small room.

"Hey, what's the question in there?"

Someone asked a guard who was escorted out by the military police.

The guard said with a wry smile: "This cannot be said, and those who have passed the assessment will be quarantined for three days."

"The head of the family has ordered that no one should ask this question, otherwise the test qualification will be cancelled, and the military law will be imposed."

At this time the gendarme also said.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but lie.

After speaking, the guard left the small building from another direction. Memius' face became serious. He didn't expect the assessment to be so strict.

After waiting anxiously, it was finally his turn.

Walking into the stone room, I found that the guard captain Geta, the military judge Lebiris and the cavalry chief Belieus were sitting behind a table, and several clerks were sitting beside them.

There are white slogans painted on the stone wall - obeying the orders of the Patriarch is the only duty of the guards. Recently, there are more and more such slogans, and they are posted everywhere.

"Long live Li Wei!"

Memius saluted and said.

"Please sit down."

Gaita said.

Memius sat down, put his helmet on the table, and sat down with his hands on his knees.

"Your name, position, and unit number."

Liberias said.

"Gaius Memius, an ordinary soldier of the 3rd Squadron of the 6th Hundredth Squadron of the First Legion."

Memius said.

"Now let me ask you a question, are you sure you want to become the vassal of the Patriarch? Are you sure no one is persecuting, threatening, or luring you?"

Lebiris asked with a serious face.

"Yes, absolutely voluntarily."

Memius said seriously.

"Okay, then let me ask you a few questions. If one day you really become the vassal of the Patriarch, are you willing to give up your allegiance to Rome and only serve the Patriarch?"

Lebiris asked, looking intently into his eyes.

"I……"

Memius hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, "I am willing."

"Are you willing to die for the Patriarch without hesitation?"

Liberias asked.

"I...will."

Memius said.

"If the Patriarch wants to rebel one day, are you willing to rebel with him?"

Liberias asked coldly.

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Memius's head, it was all a question, but soon he said: "I am willing."

"If the head of the family asked you to do illegal things one day, such as murder, would you do it?"

Liberias continued to ask.

"I...will."

Memius said.

"If the Patriarch asked you to blaspheme the gods one day, would you do it?"

This question really stumped Memius, blasphemy?

This is really...

"I would like to..."

Memius said against his will.

But his hesitation and guilty conscience had already fallen into the eyes of the three of them, they exchanged glances at the same time, and then shook their heads.

"Okay, you can go down, that's all for our questions. Remember to keep this assessment confidential, and you have to be isolated from other soldiers who have passed the assessment for a period of time. There is no problem."

Liberias said.

"No problem, sir."

Memius stood up and said.

A guard outside the door led him out of here, and then another person walked in.

Memius looked a little dazed, he guessed that if he was good, he should be eliminated.

The retainers are good, but these problems are too lawless.

Would anyone agree with these questions?

Yes, they will, but how could they betray Rome and the gods.

Under everyone's complicated gazes, the retainer's assessment was proceeding smoothly.

Although many people complain about the problem, they can only accept it silently.

Three days later, in Li Wei's restaurant, Li Wei listened to the report of the three while having breakfast.

"A total of 8,923 people participated in the registration, and a total of 489 people passed the three rounds of tests. Here is the assessment report."

Geta said that his voice was a little hoarse, obviously due to damage to the vocal cords, and he was exhausted from the tests these days.

Yulia took the assessment report he handed over, and put it on the table in front of Li Wei.

"so much."

Li Wei said in surprise that he thought it would be nice to have 200 people.

He picked up the report and looked at it carefully. It was actually several forms.

How many people were eliminated in which rounds of assessment, and which questions were eliminated. There are detailed records on this, which gave Li Wei a preliminary understanding of the loyalty of the guards.

"We don't seem to be able to arrange so many people, should we weed out some more?"

Geta asked.

Li Wei thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

"No, loyal people are rare."

Levi said.

He found that his employment was becoming more and more like the captain of a certain transportation brigade, he liked loyal people very much, but he didn't like those who were not very loyal.

This made him quite dumbfounded. After all, his business in the future would be to subvert the order of the entire republic, and even the theocracy. If he was unfaithful, he would probably become his enemy.

How on earth should they be arranged?

When it comes to loyalty, there are two, one is the Japanese samurai and the Western knight.
