There was a faint light on the horizon.

To the left of the makeshift camp, nearly three hundred slaves were gathered together trembling with trembling bodies, and in front of them was a group of pirates with fierce faces. A scream was heard not far away, and then two burly and powerful high pirates approached, one with one hand and one carrying two slaves who were obviously native. Behind them were four pirate minions with hideous faces, each holding a stake, and then erected a rough cross in front of the group of slaves!

"This is what happens to the escapees!"

The face of the half-elf first mate was not very good-looking, and he was just about to make a show in front of Sauron, but he didn't expect that a slave would escape the next day, which was tantamount to a naked slap in the face, telling Sauron that he couldn't do anything. So he didn't have the slightest affection for the escaped slaves now, and even wanted to flay them alive. The first mate of the half-elf stared coldly at the slaves in front of him, looked at their frightened expressions, and said in a deep voice: "All those who dare to escape, they are your fate!" ”

Smack.

The half-elf first mate glanced to the side, followed by two burly pirates carrying over the two natives who had begun to be visibly beaten. Then a one-eyed dragon with a missing left eyeball stood up with a grin, holding a hammer and a nail in his hand, because of the process of making zuò, the nail of this era is not the kind we are familiar with, but the kind of tapered nail with the thickness of a finger. The one-eyed dragon glanced at the man next to him, and then the two slaves were forcibly separated and fixed to a rough cross.

"Nope! …… No! …… Please! ……”

The two natives seemed to know their fate, and their whole body trembled, and one of them seemed to speak a little lingua franca, and kept crying and pleading, and the voice was so loud that the slaves below did not dare to look at it. But no matter how much he pleaded, it was useless, and the one-eyed dragon raised his hammer with a smirk, and then pointed the nail at his palm with a thudding sound. A nail the thickness of a finger passed through the palm of the native slave and into the stake behind him.

A terrible scream rang out!

The sound was very oozing to hear, and streams of blood flowed from the palms of the nails, and then dripped down the fingers to the ground. The two aboriginal slaves who were executed were trembling all over, their voices were already a little out of tune, and they were still pleading and begging to express their remorse and ignorance, but in the end there was no mercy for them. The one-eyed dragons continued to pick up the nails, and then nailed their other palms to the stake as well.

But that's just the beginning!

A total of nine nails were used in this criminal law, starting with nailing the palm of the hand. Then the elbows, then the balls of the feet, and then the knees.

As for the last nail.

This is used at the end of the penal code, when the person is about to dry his blood or is close to death, the executioner picks up the last very narrow nail and drives it through the prisoner's forehead. In general, the last nail is not used, because it is a criminal law with the nature of a forbidden curse. There are many places where it is believed that if a nail is driven into the forehead and the prisoner is eventually put to death, the soul of the victim may be crucified, and then such a person may be transformed into a terrible spirit.

The undead are supernatural creatures after all!

Even professionals don't dare to say that they can beat the undead steadily. After all, they can travel between the spirit realm and the physical plane.

………………

Sauron watched the execution.

He had to put a strict stop to this escape, or the slaves would become more and more unmanageable in the future. He was a man who respected the rules and did not have any sense of historical mission to dismantle slavery. Because even with the level of technology in previous lives, slavery was not lifted until much later. And the prosperous estate economy at that time was completely supported by slave labor. The fact that slavery was finally completely abolished in previous lives dragged on until the twentieth century shows how amazing the power of the remnants of this system is.

Saving zài is reasonable.

It's not necessarily a good thing, though. But slavery is unshakable at the moment, because many churches of the gods support slavery.

Drops of blood fell.

The two indigenous slaves who had been nailed to the stake had begun to breathe weakly, and their screams had changed pitch at first, and were now almost hoarse. But the whole process is not over, the blood will gradually coagulate, because it is not a fatal wound, they will need to be exposed to the hot sun for a while before they can breathe. The penal code doesn't end with their deaths, the bodies are still nailed to the wooden frame after they die, and the smell of blood attracts a lot of scavengers, like crows and whatever.

At last.

The crow will start pecking at the corpse until the corpse is eaten and only a skeleton remains!

This criminal process may last for a week, depending on how many crows are attracted and whether the owner who ordered the criminal law is in a good mood.

Some of the slaves down there are already stupefiing!

The two natives were thus crucified in blood, and then stood erected before them. Then the pirates began to shout and command their work, for the slaves were so hard at work that they only occasionally stopped and saw the two of their kind nailed to the stake, and there was a hint of sadness in their eyes, but there was also schadenfreude in the eyes of others. After all, half of the slaves were natives and half mainlanders, and the natives would want to escape, because this is the overseas archipelago where they live. However, the slaves on the mainland would never want to escape, because they would not survive if they escaped.

If it weren't for the scarcity of slaves on the continent, and the high price due to their relative docility, Sauron would have really planned to buy more.

"Brother?"

Vivian's figure appeared not far away, the little girl was wearing a black princess dress, raised her little hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes, and then said, "What happened just now?" I think I hear someone screaming! ”

The little girl slept for a long time yesterday.

She's been feeling lethargic lately, but she doesn't know why, even Sauron.

However, Vivian's state is very normal, and her physical condition is also very good, and it is more obvious that her strength is much greater than before, and she is now close to the strength of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

Maybe the little girl is developing.

Sauron felt that she was about a centimeter or two taller than before, and now she was a little taller than Aladdin.

But Aladdin is really short!

Vivian seemed to have just woken up, rubbed the corners of her eyes in a daze, and then looked around with big blinking eyes, and when she heard the subordinate next to her explain what had just happened, she couldn't help but pout, nodded seriously, "That's how it should be!" What a bunch of lowly slaves! As the private property of his brother, he dared to run away! They should be crucified on it! ”

"Let's see if they dare to run away in the future!"

At first, Sauron was a little worried that she would reject this kind of criminal law because of her good nature, but the words that came out of the little girl's mouth made the corners of Sauron's mouth smile a little.

This is his Vivien!

The little girl who said, 'If you go kill someone, I'll set it on fire for you.'"

Kindness does not solve the problem.

At least most of the time, kindness doesn't solve the problem, it only makes it worse.

It's not time for Sauron to show his mercy!

Now the overseas islands can be said to be in crisis step by step, all kinds of dangerous things, all kinds of hidden dangers, countless troubles, he will never allow his slaves to make trouble for him.

………………

Vivien seems to be particularly bold today!

She raised her hand to straighten out the beautiful black princess dress on her body, and then tied it into a double ponytail with a headband. She tilted her head to look at the two natives who were bloodied on the stake, and then turned to look at the other busy slaves, two of whom knelt down immediately when they saw her, and kowtowed with excitement on their faces, as if they were the two guys she had treated with a spell.

The little girl nodded reservedly, looked down at them like a noble princess, and said, "Work hard!" ”

"I remember my brother saying that if you work hard, some of them will be free. My brother always counts when he talks, and I'm sure you'll soon be free! ……”
