Chapter 680: Servitude
After wandering around the palace for a long time, the man in armor divided these individuals into various palaces.
There are more than 10 of these palaces I have walked through, and they are all inhabited by Wang Shun's women, who they call the Demon Queen.
Of course, this demon queen is a compliment here. Soon there were fewer and fewer people in the ranks, and we were actually different from human slaves.
We came here as errands, not slaves, and I heard the guy in the armor say that we are here to take care of slaves.
In the end, there were only four of us left in the whole team, three of them were women, and I was the only man. Presumably, the next place is Jane's residence.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Soon, we came to a palace in the deepest part of the palace, and outside this palace, there was already a snake demon waiting for us.
I found out that a lot of the people here are snake people, and of course they call themselves dragons. That's why this city is also called Jiaolong City...
The snake man in armor said a word to the old snake man waiting at the door and left, and the old snake man walked up to us and looked at us a few times.
Then he said to us, "From today on, you will be on an errand in my Yangyan Palace, and I will send someone to arrange your daily work in the future." Since you are working under my nose, don't be clever, and our Yangyan Palace is no better than other palaces, we have our particularity, and there is only one requirement, that is, to talk less and do more things in the future. ”
After the old snake man finished speaking, he took us into this palace, the building of this palace is actually a large courtyard, surrounded by houses, with three courtyards, several women were picked up by an old woman.
I was the only one left, and the old snake man looked at me, then walked to a place that resembled a firewood house, stopped, and then he said to me, "You will be in charge of these male slaves in the future, and their task is to do some work to clean the courtyard and carry water and chop wood, but what about your task?" Just arrange them and manage them, no problem. The old snake man said slowly to me.
I nodded slightly at the old snake man. The old snake man probably saw that I was a toad, and he didn't bother to say anything to me, so he turned around and left.
There are probably more than 20 human slaves here. At this time, they were busy working, some were carrying water, some were chopping wood, and some were cooking, all of them were very busy.
These slaves were different from the somewhat stupid slaves I had seen in the slave market, and although they all had a slave word on their foreheads, they had a light in their eyes.
After the old snake man left, I clapped my hands gently, and when I heard my clapping, a group of people gathered around me.
"Discipline well." More than 20 people stood in a line unconventionally, and then bowed over and greeted me.
I nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's introduce myself, my name is Ji Qi, and I will be your discipline in the future, as long as you are well-behaved in the future, I will naturally not be difficult for you." However, if you want to cheat, it is naturally unrealistic. ”
When they heard what I said, everyone said yes in unison. I don't have much to say, so I'll just wave them and let them go about their own work. In fact, this job is idle, presumably the people of the demon clan, if they want to do this job, I'm afraid they also need to go through a lot of back doors.
I couldn't help but express great curiosity about that Yin Mei, it seems that she is also an energetic person here, but after thinking about it, it is not a big deal, after all, she is the owner of the Yanyu Pavilion, and the people who can go over there are naturally indispensable dignitaries.
And after they dispersed, I sat on one of the steps here, at a loss, because this palace is full of demon guards, and the guards here are stricter than the outside, and the old snake man just told me that I can't leave the area of this firewood room, otherwise if the sad guards think they are assassins, they will be killed on the spot.
The discipline before me was also killed by the guards as if he had snuck out and returned from sneaking out.
I'm not afraid that they'll kill me, but making things bigger is not something I want to see.
I must find a way to mix up with individual messengers, but I don't know anyone here, and I fell into depression for a while.
At this time, a child's voice came from beside him, "Discipline adult, pour you tea." ”
I saw a child who looked to be 15 or 6 walking up to me. I was a little surprised, because it was not easy to see that the age of this child should be born after the demon chaos, and he can speak.
I didn't refuse him, nodded, and then said to the kid, "What's your name?" ”
The kid shook his head at me, smiled and said, "I don't have a name..."
"And how do you speak?"
The child told me that he had grown up in a slave pile, because there were still people in the slave pile who could speak, and over time, he would be able to speak.
I was surprised that this kid didn't have any negative emotions at all, but was very optimistic.
But after thinking about it, this little child grew up in a slave heap, he has never experienced modern society, from his birth to the present, he has been accompanied by slaves for others, he thinks that his life should be like this.
And this kind of life at the moment is already a good life for a slave.
I can't help but feel a little sad, this is the sorrow of human beings, human beings who have ruled for so long, have come back to this kind of life.
"I'll give you a name, called... Shi Changning: "I looked at this kid and said.
After hearing my words, a flash of excitement flashed in the child's eyes, but then it was replaced by a wave of fear, and he said to me, "Discipline, is it really okay?" We slaves are not allowed to have names. ”
I touched his head and said, "We'll call in private, and we'll be fine." ”
Hearing my words, the child knelt down with a puff and kowtowed to me again and again. In fact, he was given this name, because if you look closely, this kid and Shi Changning are really a little similar...
At the beginning, Shi Changning died to save me, I feel guilty to this day, his death is a real permanent death, and when I saw this child, I saw some shadows of Shi Changning.
Even if it was to give him an explanation, after I helped him up, he was very excited to share his name with the other slaves.
Because the slaves were all adults, they didn't show too many expressions, and their eyes were still full of indifference, but I could see that there was a 'light' hidden in the eyes of these people.
They must all have their own merits, otherwise they would not have been sent here as slaves. One of the slaves, after the child had said something to him, glanced at me and whispered something to the child.
Because after I entered the foundation building period, I could hear the whispers of anyone within a hundred meters if I wanted to.
"Don't be too happy, boy. You know, he's a demon. We are people... He named you to put you to death. Do you know? Don't talk about it in the future, otherwise I don't know how I died. ”
"No, it won't. I think this discipline is pretty good. ”
There was a hint of hatred in the slave's eyes, and his voice couldn't help but be lowered a little, and then he pointed to the slave word on the child's forehead. "You have to remember that we are all thanks to them, and the demon will always be the demon... Our slave will always be a slave, he is happy to name you today, and what he is not happy to take away is your life. Do you still see this kind of thing very often? Do you remember how Lao Liu died? The previous owner liked him and took a fancy to him. It was because when they were eating, they sneezed and made his concubine unhappy. In the end, I was directly plucked out of my tongue... You have to remember that slaves will always be slaves, and this is our destiny. ”
The child, as if greatly stimulated, fell into decay, answered the slave, then lowered his head, looked at me, and then went about his business.
In fact, seeing this scene and hearing their words, I actually felt a little relieved, because among these human slaves, many of them were enslaved physically, but the demon clan was not able to enslave their spirits.
