Chapter 6 Slaves, Slavery
The treatment of slaves and even those poor people in comics
After taking over from Shayou, who was in charge of the middle period, the boy fell into a deep sleep.
In this way, the night passed quietly, and the three of them packed their luggage and set off again.
--------
In this way, more than twenty days passed, and time passed quietly.
The three of them are currently settling in Beishang City temporarily.
As the closest city to Mazila Village, it still takes more than 20 days to travel to reach it.
After all, the three of them had no horses and could only walk.
"Please exchange these materials into money..."
"learn..."
After converting the materials stripped from the dangerous species over the past twenty days into money, the three of them walked out of the shop.
"Let's take a good rest first and take care of our equipment. Then we can stay for a day before setting off..."
After hearing that they could rest, Sayu and Iyeas both cheered.
"I'm going to take a shower! Then I'm going shopping!"
"I, Lord Iyeas, need to have a good sleep!"
Seeing the two of them as if they were her own younger siblings, Tazmi felt very happy.
"Then find a hotel!"
"Oh!!"
--------
As the days pass, the snow left over from winter slowly recedes, and spring envelopes the country with a sense of spring.
The three of them walked on the wide road, with lush forest branches on both sides.
"Really, these businessmen are too shady... It takes so much material to get such a small amount of money... In the past, these could be exchanged for more than five times this amount..."
"It would be nice to have a lot left over. After all, you have to pay taxes on the road..."
Hearing the girl's complaints, Tazmi was also helpless.
There are simply too many tax checkpoints along the way. The closer you are to the imperial capital, the higher the taxes.
This also illustrates from the side how bad this country is.
"But there are more and more poor guys on the road..."
The three of them paid the tax and walked into the city gate. Looking at the poor people on both sides of the street, Iyeas frowned.
"They are all oppressed people, all..."
When he saw the slave trader beating his slaves with a whip, Iyeas stopped.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
"Damn it, wouldn't it be better to be honest?! Ah?!"
The whip in his hand kept hitting the slave, and the slave merchant looked angry.
This time the goods are a special gift for the nobles of the imperial capital, but what are they doing?
They actually hurt their precious bodies!
How can we sell it at a good price if this continues!
In this way, the slave traders whipped the girl who took the lead in causing trouble, and used this to scare the monkeys.
Overall, the effect is good, at least the fearful eyes of others will not be fake.
"That's it! You are all valuable treasures... If you dare to be like her, I will throw you away to breed with dangerous species..."
After saying a cold word, the slave trader walked into the shop and prepared to let the people inside start transporting the goods.
"Let's go... Our goal is to make the village rich..."
"There are too many examples like this...we can't control it..."
Looking at the bruised female slave lying on the ground, Tazmi led Iyeas and Sayu towards the hotel in this town.
But after the three people left, when the slave dealer and his men drove the slaves back to the cage, they noticed the backs of the three people.
Looking at the girl with long black hair who was holding hands and walking slowly, the slave trader had an idea.
"It's so uncomfortable. The most embarrassing thing for me, Lord Yiyeas, is that the girl is injured..."
"Yeah, that whip...it hurts just looking at it!"
Iyeas muttered, and Sayu on the side nodded her head in agreement.
Looking at the two of them, Tazmi shook her head helplessly.
Even though I was unhappy with that guy, people have to learn to control themselves.
Since the death of the emperor of the empire eighty-nine years ago, the accession of the young emperor to the throne has caused a great change in the atmosphere of the entire country. The ultimate source of all this points to the empire's minister "Ernest".
Slave traders were also one of the reasons for the decay of this country.
The situation like that of the slave trader just now is no longer an exception.
Slavery has always existed in the Empire. These slave traders not only sell slaves, they are also responsible for the sale of dangerous species.
Of course, level one dangerous species is already their limit, and special levels above level one are even more impossible.
As slave traders, they could not afford to hire powerful mercenaries and soldiers, so they could only beg for favors from the nobles. Of course, when the business grows and they get a lot of benefits from the nobles, they will be able to join the ranks of the upper class.
Before this, while they were competing with their peers, they were also responsible for the perfection of the goods.
In this period of accelerating corruption in the country, another better commodity has been put on the table.
In addition to foreign races and dangerous species that were traded as goods in the past, women who were very popular were put on the cake-sharing table.
There are too many beautiful country girls in the empire, and there are too many slums in the imperial capital.
The victims are simply too numerous to count.
With the emergence of slave traders, there are more and more wild children on the streets. At the same time, there are also many people who have become numb because of broken families.
After taking the two of them to the hotel and getting a room, the three of them sat down around the table.
"The woman who was whipped just now probably came from the countryside like us... I saw that the muscles on her body were different from those of the civilians in these towns. It seemed that she had done some exercise or other activities... "
"Looks like he's about the same age as us...As for why he became a slave...it's just one of those reasons..."
The family couldn't survive this year and sold it, or everyone in the family died and was arrested, or it was because of bandits. There are too many reasons.
Of course, don't wonder why there are bandits.
Of course it's because some bandits are played by slave traders.
If you don't kill your family, where will the slaves come from? You know, this is not war time.
When winter passes, foreign nations will not immediately start a war.
Without foreign nations launching wars, slaves would have to be obtained in another way.
As for why they don't take care of it, it's because they can't take care of it. They all have certificates issued by the empire for capturing slaves, and even the slaves have slave certificates. How can three people from the countryside take care of it.
"In general, country people like us are like pebbles everywhere in the eyes of those guys..."
Seeing the heavy look in their eyes, Tazmi smiled and changed the topic.
"How about something good tonight? What would you two like to eat?"
"Meat!" "Of course it's meat!"
When they heard about eating, the two of them instantly came back to life full of energy.
Hearing this, Tazmi nodded and walked out of the room to communicate with the hotel owner about the meal.
