Chapter 605: Saints

"Do you know how many slaves there are in the western part of the empire?", the ten shook their heads, they were not familiar with the empire at all, and they did not come to the west of their own free will. Compared to the west, their original idea was to go to the south or the east and south, and it is said that it is easier to make money there.

Duhrin answered this question for them, and he was on three fingers, "According to some unofficial and crude statistics, there were no less than 300,000 slaves from all over the world held in the western part of the empire. Many of these slaves have left their homeland with great dreams and want to make a difference and change the fate of themselves and their families. But they're all here now, they're all worse off in the mines of the west, they're all slaves!"

It's not that Duhrin is fooling around, he was already engaged in the business of smuggling channels on the East Coast, and he still knows a little about some other ways to make a living on the sea, and the most noteworthy thing is human smuggling.

These professional human trafficking organizations recruit workers in some poor and backward countries or war-torn countries, taking advantage of the local people's eagerness to change their lives and destiny, and recruiting a large number of people who are willing to work abroad with various nice sayings such as high salaries, high benefits, and high treatment. They will select and classify these people, and the name is very simple - different jobs require different types of work, industry must need those who are strong and strong, and light industry must hope to recruit delicate and patient girls.

As for the finer ones, there are not many, and if the locals listen to their deception and believe the truth, they basically cannot escape the fate of becoming slaves. These human trafficking organizations will conduct a physical examination to "go to a big city", and when they get in the car, they will find that they are not going to a big city, let alone doing a physical examination, but the beginning of their miserable life. They will be assigned a number like an animal, and then divided among the more specific organizations under the different layers.

Then they go into quarantine, and even though human trafficking is illegal, everyone is still responsible. It's not about these people, it's about money, and once a person has an infectious disease in a closed environment of maritime transportation, as long as the epidemic spreads, a ship will basically die. This is a loss that no organization wants to encounter and is not willing to try. So there will be a very strict "quarantine" process. Then they will separate the people who have gone to school and have a little bit of education from ordinary people, and will not incite these "commodity" riots through words or intimidation, which may not know what will happen next.

Riots on the sea are no joke, because even human trafficking organizations can't find support anytime and anywhere. In the event of a riot, there is only one fate for these goods, and that is death.

When they arrived, they would be sold for a few hundred dollars or more to those who needed slaves, and the main consumers were not in the west, but in the south, on the east coast, in all the economically developed regions.

Only those who pick up the rest will be thrown to the west to be disposed of as garbage, dozens of dollars per head, and a few heads will be counted as money.

This is a business-free business, you only need to pay some management fees, bear a little shipping costs, and then there are huge profits!

These cheap slaves in the west will not be valued by all mine owners, they are nothing more than the money of dozens of baskets of slag - if it is a gold mine, it may only be worth the price of a piece of rough gold ore for a life!

Durin took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one, the cigarette was between his fingers, and the rising smoke was constantly changing as he spoke, "I always believe that the moment everyone is born, they are equal and there is no difference." Slaves should not be in this world, this is a regression of civilization, gentlemen. You have experienced this kind of pain and suffering firsthand, and you should know more about the despair in the hearts of these people than I do. ”

"I was born in the country, my father, my grandfather and even my grandparents were farmers for generations. I want to change my fate, and with my hands, I have chosen to challenge fate to me, just like you. I was lucky that I did. Then I started thinking that I should do something meaningful again, because money, power, and status shouldn't be the whole of a living person. I should have something more noble, and then I decided that I wanted to challenge myself and the world. ”

"I'm going to lead all the oppressed, the enslaved, the unfairly treated to do something. Even if we are broken, at least we have tried our best to roar in the face of the injustice of fate and the indifference of society. ”

"When I came here, to the west, I realized that there was such a barbaric act in the civilized world, and it was simply terrifying to break out in a cold sweat!"

"I used to complain about why I came to the west, why I didn't stay in a more rich and prosperous place, and when I saw you guys and the people below, I understood why the gods let me come here!"

Durin's tone became agitated, "Because of you, because of what I need to do, the gods have chosen me, let me see and let me change!"

"I know you may ask, why don't I release all the slaves here at once?"

When this question was raised, the ten people who were still willing to believe it were a little moved, because the question pointed to the crux of all of DΓΌrin's previous words. If you're going to change, why not make it right away?

It's not that Durin is dazed, it's that he has to say it now. When he says it, he says it with others, even if every word and every word has the same tone, it gives people a different feeling. In the hands of others, this may be a sharp blade to destroy Durin's "hypocrisy", but he himself said it, and that is the toughest shield to protect himself!

"Because even if I release these people out there immediately, I only save these people, and there are still 300,000 slaves in the whole west waiting for the day when the light will shine into the dark mines. I can't free all 300,000 slaves, I don't have the strength, even if I die, I can't do it!"

"Besides, even if I release them now, it may not be a good thing for them, because this is not your homeland, not your country. Here, many hard-thinking people have embraced the humiliating beastly acts and ideas. Probably less than a tenth of these people from outside will be able to return home, and the rest will die in the western part of the empire. ”

"What I need to do is change, change people's minds, put the beast in a cage, and release civilization from a box made of gold!"

"Only when that day comes, 300,000 people who are being treated unfairly can usher in the real sunshine!"

"And you will be the warriors who will bring civilization back, this is what I see from you!"

"You have the qualities that everyone will praise, firm, tenacious, courageous, persistent...... It is only with your help that I will be able to bring change to the west. Gentlemen, your job is not to dig for ore with pickaxes in the mines, but to fight for a return to civilization and a path to light for the 300,000 victims of barbaric enslavement in the western world!"

"I'll tell you what to do, I'll show you a direction, and then it's up to you. ”

"I know this is a very presumptuous request, but I also hope that you, after empathy, will think for the slaves who are suffering in the West. When you are chained together and locked up in the mines in Andorra, do you yearn for the light like everyone else? ”

"The gods have brought me here because of you. ”

"If we can, I hope we can change the West, the Empire, and the world together, so that this world will be less tormented and painful, and more warm and sunny!"

"It's a very hard, even life-threatening undertaking, if you're willing to do something with me, stay. ”

"If you don't want to, I'll do what I said, give you the same treatment as the locals, and let you continue to work with me. ”

"A road full of thorns, destined not to be safe and not peaceful is under your feet, you have the right to turn back, but please believe me, on this road, you will be greeted by a future that is countless times more brilliant than you expected!"

The ten young people in the room could come from different continents, different countries, different cities.

They may have very different or even completely opposite beliefs, and some may have no beliefs.

But at this moment, at this moment, at this moment that seemed to be frozen, they forgot all their past beliefs, forgot the god O Lord who they had prayed in the mine but could not do anything, and it was not the god they believed in who saved them, but the person in front of them.

The man was bathed in an endless golden light, his whole being seemed to be shining, and the sun was obsessed with him, surrounding him, and refusing to leave. When I look at him, it's like seeing the boundless flame, like looking at the sun in the sky that brings life and warmth to all living beings in the world.

They all slowed their breathing for a short time, fearing that the sound of their heavy breathing would interrupt Dorin's words. His words made each of their blood boil, and the power that kept surging in their bodies made them seem to see countless pitch-black chains firmly locked the sky in the distance, and this power gave them a sense of confidence that as long as they stretched out their fists, they could break all the chains and let the sun shine everywhere!
