"You, Mr. Louie, are you seeing a slave for the first time?" Hearing Louie's exclamation, Letissa couldn't help but ask curiously.

Louis was startled when he heard Letisha ask to himself, and at this time, Letisha was looking at each other with a somewhat surprised expression, and the faces of the two people were only a size apart.

"Ahem...... It was not the first time I had seen a slave, but it was the first time I had seen such a cruel treatment. Louie coughed dryly.

"In fact, compared with the lifelong slave, these torments suffered by debt slaves are already light." Speaking of this, Letisa bit her lower lip tightly, her fists clenched, her body trembled slightly because her emotions were a little out of control, and there were slight tears flowing down the corners of her eyes.

"Letissa, you, what's wrong with you?" Ever since he saw the inhumane treatment of these slaves, Louis had a vague sense that something was wrong with Letissa.

Letissa's facial muscles twitch in a variety of ways, as if crying, as if laughing, and the expression is simply difficult to describe. She confided a few words with great difficulty: "I, my parents are slaves for life, they ......"

Generally speaking, those who commit serious crimes such as murder or robbery are considered criminal slaves, and the punishment they receive is simply more unbearable than death. Once you become a slave to sin, you will not be able to escape this status for the rest of your life unless you have made a meritorious service that is widely recognized by the world and can be pardoned.

Committing offences such as theft and theft is not enough to be considered a criminal slave, but these minor offenders must pay an amount equivalent to the damage to the benefit. If they are unable to pay, they will be sold as debt slaves to pay off.

If the amount of debt is too large, and it is concluded that it cannot be repaid after being evaluated by other conditions such as age, ability, gender, etc., it will be a lifelong slave and will do heavy labor until death.

Both of these are almost equivalent to the absence of human rights, and it is said that in times of war, they are forced to be placed on the front lines, so-called human shields, or to do very dangerous and harsh jobs such as miners.

"That's right...... Then your parents ...... now."

Before Louis could finish asking, Letisha sobbed, "They didn't survive this inhuman torture and died......"

"I'm sorry for bringing up your sad past."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. It is because of the death of my parents that I am motivated to be stronger, and weakness will only die faster. ”

"Is that man a slave trader?" Louis said, pointing to a man not far away.

Letisha looked at the hunchbacked man, and suddenly let out a chuckle: "That's right, that person's name is Milon, as long as someone entrusts him, he will deliver anything."

Just like this time as a slave, sometimes some wine and chestnuts, jujubes, taro, sugar, spices, cloth, books, musical instruments, and other things will be transported.

Don't look at Kansas, which is known as a fortress city, in fact, it also lacks a lot of supplies, after all, it is not enough to rely on the regular convoys of knightly guards and caravans passing through the mountains. ”

The shouts of the knightly guards beating the slaves also attracted Milon's attention, and he stooped to the end of the line and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"This guy can't move his left hand or right foot, so it's completely useless!" The knight responded.

Milon said: "In the afternoon, there will be a team of knights to hunt monsters, you can send him to make a human flesh shield to attract the attention of monsters, and if it is not enough, he will be pulled to act as a miner." ”

"But his legs and feet to make a human shield can't keep up with the speed of the team, and it is estimated that he will kill the knights. And he can't wield an iron pickaxe like that......"

Milon stepped forward, holding the man's chin with one hand and stroking his hair with the other, and looked at him, "What's your name?" ”

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, his expression of fear was overflowing, and he responded tremblingly: "Lord Hui, the villain's name is Gaspar." ”

"Hehe, although his hands and feet are a little unfavorable, his appearance is quite good. There must be some people who like this look, right? Milon smiled at the knight.

The knight wondered, "Do you mean it's for people to enjoy?" It is true that someone has such a special preference, but he is already over twenty-two years old, will he be too old? ”

Human shields, miners, for people to enjoy......

Gaspar, caught between Milon and the knight, shuddered when he heard that he couldn't even handle the worst option that ordinary people could ever think of.

Gaspar was thinner than anyone else, his body covered in dust from being drenched in water and falling to the ground, and his dull gray hair clinging to his face, looking miserable and sad.

What will be your fate?

After taking care of Gaspar's affairs, the two knights were just about to change shifts and passed in front of Louis and Letissa.

"Well, I hate transporting slaves more than anything else. They really stink and get dirty, so I have to wash my bad luck when I go back today. ”

"Who's to say it's not, these people are like incontinence, defecating everywhere. They should really appreciate what it is like for those of us who are in charge of cleaning the carriages. ”

Seeing the attitude of the two knights as if transporting domestic animals, Louis couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Let's go, let's go and see other places." ”

The two of them continued to walk, and in front of them was a busy market, where many small merchants and vendors begged for a living.

However, I didn't see any potions peddling here, only some daily first-aid medicines, and I heard Letisha introduce that the right to sell potions belongs to the temple, but the temple basically will not be sold to the outside world, and the objects of sale are adventurers and imperial troops.

There is also a small part of the potion peddling is carried out in the underground exchange, where there are many magic items in addition to potions.

Passing through the downtown area, there is a unique building in the distance in front of the road. At the same time, cheers were heard in the wind, and a cry similar to a bloodthirsty battle cry could be faintly heard.

According to Letissa, that unique building is the Colosseum, which is a popular tourist attraction in Kansas City, and is famous throughout the Thunder Alliance Empire.

I could hear the excited shouts of the audience inside, and it seemed that there was a gladiatorial competition going on inside.

But Louie had no interest in seeing that kind of bloody battlefield, and he was not interested in gambling money, so that kind of place could be said to be of no interest to him.

However, it was one of the biggest common entertainments in Kansas City———— and classes such as the aristocracy enjoyed the theater. Since the cheers have been heard from afar, it can be seen that the seats must be full again today.

"Letisha, take me to the underground exchange!" Louis proposed.

"Oh, are you going there? However, there is a ticket that costs the price of three silver coins to enter, and the contents are expensive. Letisha explained.

"Hehe, don't worry about money, let's go!" Louie didn't worry much about money, but wondered if he could find some magic items or magic potions he liked.
