"Even if you ask my opinion......" Kolotia was silent.

"Because you've lived with natives for a long time, I'd like to know what you think." "But before I do that, I want to talk about what most people think about right now...... After all, you have been in seclusion for a long time, and some changes may not be noticed. ”

"Okay." Kolotia nodded.

Then, Anton introduced the present form shì.

From the behavior and communication of these natives, it is clear that they are real people with the ability to think for themselves and have emotions. It's not something like "NPCs" that only has simple AI. The act of killing natives is a violation of personality in any case, and it is a sin that cannot be forgiven.

However, the players who were teleported to this world did not have any such thing as "laws" at all, nor did they have any overt "governing bodies". Each guild may have some treaties within it, but there is no "rule of law for everyone". Imprisoning the prisoner underground in the Traveler's Tears was only the result of the vote of most of the guilds that were based in Sunny City at the time.

Of course, there were those who agreed and those who were against, not to mention that even those who were in favor at the time didn't think 100% that "people should be locked up all the time", let alone the people who shouted "why punish players for NPCs".

In short, taking this opportunity, someone brought up the topic again.

Each of the prisoners who were imprisoned killed more than one native inhabitant, and even those who took pleasure in it and tortured them. The cruelty of one or two of them is simply astonishing.

If it were in the real world, there would be no doubt that such an act would be punishable by death. If these people had been handed over to the king of the Bright Sun City at that time, they would have been dragged to Shengyang Square in the old city and hanged.

However, this is not the case now.

Travelers will get certain privileges based on their previous deeds, and they can be regarded as a special aristocratic class. Not to mention others, even with the status of Kolotia at this time, if she "accidentally killed" a civilian on the street, I am afraid that she only needs to pay a certain fine to avoid prison. As for the president of a big guild like Antun, he can act at will. As long as you don't go too far, I'm afraid that the lords and kings of the natives won't ask too much.

This is true for ordinary civilians, let alone slaves. And in this world, except for the sparsely populated High Elves, there is basically slavery to a greater or lesser extent.

The longer you live here, the more you will find that the value of human life can be so low. What's more, just escalating battles inevitably require tasks such as killing, especially in dungeons, where many targets to be killed are humanoid or humanoid creatures.

As a result, whether those who were imprisoned for killing NPCs had to endure such punishment became one of the issues again.

Although the prevailing attitude is that even NPCs should respect their lives under basic moral constraints, there are many people who secretly think that we are more noble than those natives.

"So, someone asked for their release, right?"

"Hmm." Antun nodded: "Most of those people are now imprisoned in underground rooms, and they are allowed to make something every day with production skills. In addition, some books are also provided for entertainment. But to be honest, that's still a bit inappropriate...... It's been closed for months. ”

"I see what you mean." "I don't have any idea of releasing them now, because no one has given us that right," Kolotia said. What's more, death is not completely unpunished now, and their actions are not completely unrestricted......"

"Isn't it going to lose experience points and memory? We can also kill these people once and again, until we reach the first level ......"

"Hey, my eldest lady, you're too gloomy to say." Antun interrupted Kolotia's speech.

"They're not going to die anyway." Kolotia shrugged her small shoulders: "Besides, the army of the natives is not without combat effectiveness. In short, as long as there is a death penalty, you can force them to restrain a little. Also, don't call me that. ”

"Speaking of death punishment...... It's also a troubling question. Anton nodded with a heavy face.

"By the way, those guilds that want to release people can't have their own ideas, right?"

Kolotia then asked, and seclusion doesn't mean knowing nothing. With the little clue she had now, Kolotia could guess what they were up to.

Now he needs at least one confirmation from Anton to confirm his conjecture.

"That's right. They put in place a system of overseers and assigned those people to guilds......" Anton replied.

"Restricted freedom?"

Antun nodded.

"As you thought before, with the threat of death punishment, every prisoner released must be supervised by some guild. Enforce tasks assigned by the guild. ”

"How long?"

"It's not been discussed yet, but it's better than locking people in the basement."

"I'm not the president of Radiance anymore, so I don't need to be responsible for anything. But you have to think about it...... If death punishment is threatened, and there is no strict system to control it, it is not impossible for us players to develop slavery. If I'm not mistaken, quite a few people have bought native slaves now, right? ”

Kolotia's purple eyes stared straight into Anton's brown eyes.

Antun could only nod: "Our guild also has it." After all, it's something that's already in the game......"

Andon is right, there is also a very special class in the game Sword & Sorcery and Journey, "Merchant".

It does not belong to the main classes such as "Priest", "Mage", and "Berserker", and has its own experience slots and skills. If you play as a "merchant", it will be a completely different game experience from "adventure". Whether it is trade and transportation, production and processing, merchants also have their own ways of playing.

As a "merchant", players can obtain "retinues" through guò contracts. Whether it's fighting, specializing in production, or even being able to lead a team in trade instead of the player himself.

And among these entourages, there are not only "hired" mercenaries, but also "bought" slaves. In other words, "owning a slave", which is supposed to be a very bad behavior for civilized people, is legal in the game itself, and in this world, it is still legal.

"Even if you know that they are all emotional and thinking people, you can be treated like slaves, right?" - Kolotia tried to confront Anton, but found that it was pointless. Among the many guilds, Traveler's Tears is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of style and sense of justice.

That's how the world is.
