Chapter 67: The Slave Society
Slaves were considered the property of the slave owner and could be bought and sold, and the slave owner could force the slave to work, and the labor activity must be dominated by the slave, without remuneration, and without personal freedom. In a human society, if most of the laborers in the field of material production are slaves, such a society is called a slave society.
The pace of human development, after passing through the Stone Age, has been immersed in such an era for most of the time, there is no sympathy, no morality, and even no so-called ethics, human beings have the most primitive instincts, and also have the most primitive **, and slaves are the prerequisites for contributing to this phenomenon, the defeated, the hungry, will become the object of being bought and sold, however, once this label is defined, it is difficult to be washed away, perhaps until the fall of a dynasty, or until the turn of a few centuries, howeverSurvival is often so cruel.
Slave market. In this era, whether in the Southeast Asian hemisphere or in the Western hemisphere, it is the most widely benefited and talked about existence, this is the paradise of the aristocracy, here, they enjoy the highest treatment, as long as you have gold, because of the decline of Byzantium, Sulledus will not be widely circulated, this era of war, the birth of a king, often mint their own currency.
And the price of a slave usually does not use much silver, let alone expensive gold, in the years of war, gold is the most indispensable thing, but there are often other existences, such as a relatively large number of slave markets, the slaves sold here are usually expensive, male slaves are mostly defeated captives, this kind of slave is strong, usually a person can do most of the farm work, and as long as a mouthful of food, will not die of disease or plague, These slaves were often the most popular part of the era, often costing a few gold coins in exchange, and some wealthy aristocratic women loved them. It usually sells for surprising prices, perhaps because of a legend left by the last descendant of Julius Caesar, a slave in an eastern kingdom who became a knight of kings by himself, and who accompanied the witches of Babylon to create a myth, although that myth can only be circulated among the people. But any legend usually has a basis, for example, in Greece today, the temple is still dedicated to Nero, and the statue of Nero still stands.
The female "xinu" subordinate is relatively demanding, not only to have delicate facial features, but also to require good etiquette and education. Usually such women are nobles who have defeated the enemy, and forcibly occupying the body of a noble woman is undoubtedly the biggest stimulus for any man, and the relatively cheap ones are pure women, usually at a price of about one gold coin, of course, the appearance is still very attractive. Slave owners do not occupy their bodies, this is the rule of the industry, once the buyer knows afterwards, it is always a big trouble, therefore, in the hands of some large slave owners, will not make this most basic principled mistake.
The city of Murrihouse was the largest slave trading market. Every half month, a grand slave auction is held here, and the merchants who circulate and the nobles who gather form a beautiful scenery here.
"My head hurts!" A young man slowly got up from the ground, pressed his temple with one hand, and adjusted to the sunlight before slowly opening his eyes into a wilderness grassland. He couldn't see the breath of any age, but the fresh air around him, as well as the occasional UFO wandering by, gave him an indescribable strangeness.
The body has completely recovered from its second form to a normal person. Although the clothes are stained with blood, but the body has been completely repaired, what happened in the end? Lin Xiu frowned slightly, trying to recall the last scene in his memory, it seemed that C.C. kissed him.
This troublesome woman. I don't know how to evaluate it, it stands to reason that C.C. has already saved his life twice, but she naturally has her own purpose, Lin Xiu suddenly felt that in addition to helplessness for this woman, she was more helpless, but now the question is, where is this? And where is C.C.?
Try to spread out the space watch, and without any restraint, both hands summon the eagle gun from the space watch,... Invalid, sure enough, this is a special existence of space, the eagle gun and the pseudo-Fenrir wolf are modern tools that cannot be used at all, nervously looked at the watch, relieved, time once again appeared to freeze, and that time was the same as when I entered Rome, could it be that this is also the ** world of C.C.?
Quite a hassle! This is Lin Xiu's only emotion at present.
I roughly tested my skills, and sure enough, my strength was forced to be pressed at about 30 percent, and I reluctantly took out the sword of the king again, in this inexplicable world, it seems that I can only rely on it, but with the long-lost familiarity, Lin Xiu's heart is also noisy.
"You... Are you alright? Silent inquiry, facing the sky and the earth, as if a woman dressed in red as a delicate rose was standing in front of him, her hands gently holding the hem of her skirt, her golden hair coiled behind her head, and laughing at herself, Lin Xiu threw these out of her mind, and now, it was obviously not the time to think about this.
Not far ahead, you can vaguely see the stone castle piled up in the translucent moonlight, which is different from modern society, for example, now a day, it is about less than twenty-four hours, and the moon is not as far away from the earth as it is now, although the daylight is sufficient, but the looming huge round wheel is still hanging in mid-air, in that direction, Lin Xiu took a step, probably after walking over, it will be close to dark, but you must first figure out the current era, And found the woman named C.C., tried to call the apostle several times, but there was still no response, could it be that the world of C.C. has been separated from the apostle?
Are you kidding! In short, if you want to leave, the first thing you should do is to find that woman, just thinking about this, there was a sound of rapid breathing behind him, and the frowning snort was not at all like what humans could emit, although it was only thirty percent of the strength, but if it wasn't for the traveler, Lin Xiu believed that he was still a first-class master, keenly sensing the approaching breath behind him, and the originally fast steps suddenly changed a frequency, just a drop between the front and back feet, which gave Lin Xiu enough time to shoot.
Turn around. With the sword and silver light slashing, a trace of surprise flashed in Lin Xiu's eyes, but then there was a bloody light.
"What is this? Wolf? Lin Xiu fiddled with the scabbard on the ground, causing the creature to flip its body, looking at the shape and appearance, it should be a wolf. But compared to modern wolves, the body should be at least twice as large, and if it landed on all fours, it would be almost as high as Lin Xiu's shoulders, otherwise it would not have made Lin Xiu turn around and stab his throat with a sword, this creature... At least a few hundred years. Damn it.
The slave market was very lively, it was the late autumn season, and many of the merchants and nobles were not the natives of Murrihouse, some lived in distant Marsac, some lived further away in Morning Star City, and this event was probably the last time before they entered the winter, and then returned to their own territory. Enjoying the warm fire, watching the snow and bones, spending the lonely winter, and at this time, it is undoubtedly a happy thing for them to get a satisfied slave, so that in the deep winter season, they don't have to be so lonely.
"Next to this. Originally a Germanic nobleman, you look at her pair of heavenly feet, as well as this pinch will come out of the water, only sixteen years old, I believe you can't wait to take it as your own forbidden belly! The slave owner of the auction deliberately lengthened his tail note, and the bald head of the original forty-year-old seemed a little obscene. Combined with his words and such a tone, it is even more like a slave trader, but in Murrihouse, it is precisely because of his appearance. made him the second largest slave owner, make the best use of his talents, God created you, it is definitely not a joke, it will become a joke, but you have not found the direction that suits you.
Sure enough, under the premise of his mobilization of emotions, the nobles below began to be excited, and some had begun to discuss with their guards about increasing the weight, and the woman on the wooden platform less than half a person high, with her hands tied together, closed her eyes a little sadly, and now, she has become a commodity, without any right to speak.
"Hurry up!" Obviously, some people can't wait, that body like water lubrication, if you can hug the bed in the cold winter, it is definitely a wonderful and ordinary thing, and it is only sixteen years old, and the shelf life is at least two years, as long as it does not exceed ten gold coins, I believe it will not feel a loss.
Glancing at the most primitive ** nobles below, the slave owner smiled with satisfaction and slapped his hands with his hands.
"My noble lords, it's not too late, so... Bidding starts now, and the highest bidder wins, starting at five. Harbas, the slave owner, stretched out his right hand, and looked down his fingers at the people below, his mind full of contempt, these things that would only be majestic on the belly of women, and today he was going to drain their warehouse, but on the surface, he still maintained that unchanging smile.
"What are you kidding? Five silver coins? "A high-class slave only has three gold coins at most, and this one starts at five gold coins, which is simply sky-high, you know, five gold coins are enough for a poor family's living expenses for several years.
"No kidding, my lord of Rand, you know, it's about to enter the barren winter, and I still have three babies in my house waiting to be fed, if I can't sell them for a good price, maybe they will be put up for auction here next year." Speaking of self-deprecation, he will not be angry because the customer is dissatisfied with his price, a businessman, who knows best what it means to make money in harmony, but wait until he is put up for auction here? I'm afraid everyone present will be sold out.
"Haha, Harbas, if you are auctioned here one day, then I will definitely sell you for more than ten gold coins." A man with a hard stubble on his jaw laughed loudly, his palm kept playing with a slave kneeling next to his carriage, the slave looked quite sweet, with a collar around his neck, engraved with a few English letters, obviously it was Rand's name, in order to declare his sovereignty, the slave's face had been smiling, let Rand's rough big hands, pinching her chest hard, even the slave did not belong to himself, let alone **.
"It's a great honor, my lord Rand, to be a slave and to be sold for such a price, it is undoubtedly a rare pride." Harbas didn't feel any loss of dignity, in the world of the jungle, it was not by biting people to death, and those nobles would not have any contempt for him because of his words. Because slaves determine their honor by price.
"Alright, now it's time to make an offer." Harbas didn't want to waste too much of his tongue, but today he had a full day for him to consume, in order to loot these big men, he had carefully prepared from the beginning of spring to the present, if it didn't satisfy the appetite of these nobles. How could he be willing, knowing that there were still dozens of slaves of this kind reserved in his basement.
"Six! ~"The first to speak was Rand, although he felt that the price of a slave cost him six gold coins very painfully, but looking at the waist that could not be grasped, the unruly temperament. I really can't control my primitive animal desires.
"Seven!" Obviously, if he wanted to take down such a high-quality slave for six gold coins, others would not be as he wanted, Rand glanced sideways, it was Hoswater from Morningstar City, who was stretching out his donkey face at this time, if it weren't for the blockage of the carriage, Rand could even clearly see his salivating saliva.
"Hostwater, it looks like Morningstar City has a good tax this year." Rand asked through gritted teeth. The power in his hand was even greater, and the slave beside him could only tremble and hold back, with that light smile still on the corner of his mouth, looking at Horswater with his master, no matter what Rand did to her, he was his own master, and the master was everything of a slave, this. In a short period of time, any slave will gradually come to his senses.
"Haha, Duke Rand, isn't it possible that Marcus has been so poor this year? I can already anticipate that the beasts of Saxony might tear your fat skin apart at any moment. "Horswater was not afraid of Rand, who was a little higher in class, but now the whole of Rome was in the midst of war. The lords of the autonomous cities have long been self-reliant, and no one buys anyone's account.
"Humph! Eight! Rand did not continue to engage in a verbal war with Horswater, and indeed his home city was closest to the Saxons. And this year, the Saxons' attack was fierce, and the incompetent lord hiding in Dugu City did not send any troops until this moment, which made Rand really angry, but he could only do that.
"Nine!" Horswater didn't back down.
"Ten!" Rand gritted his teeth, although ten gold coins was really nothing to him, but being called at like this obviously annoyed his heart.
Looking at the two people below who kept raising the price, Harbas laughed silently, and the show had just begun.
"Next!" In the basement, there were people shouting and whipping, whipping the disobedient women to the ground, and once again being thrown into the corner when no one cared.
The girl with green hair looked forward to the woman who kept walking out, her eyes were full of yearning and envy, and with the woman who was drawn to the ground and was still in the corner again, she was deeply slandered, this idiot, isn't it good to have a chance to leave here? What a wasted opportunity?
"Litore! You idiot, it's almost dusk, and you see that we can return to our territory, but you wounded that woman, and Lord Harbas is counting on her to sell her for a high price, what now? If there is one less person, will you be used to make up the number? One of the guards roared angrily at his companion.
"I... I really can't help it, that slut is so ignorant that he actually bites me, uh... Or are we grabbing a random one? I don't think it will be discovered, Alduin, for the sake of our fellow countrymen, you can help me. It was only then that Litore was afraid, knowing that it would be easier for Harbas to kill him than it was for an ant to be crushed.
Looking at Litore's pleading look, Alduin finally agreed to help him, the two came out of the same place, and if he went back alone at this time, he really couldn't bear it, take a risk, I hope it won't be recognized.
"But we always have to find someone who is willing to cooperate with us, don't you?" Although Alduin wanted to help him, but for a while, where to find someone so trustworthy, Litore also became nervous when he heard him say this, just now he thought was too simple, if the other party did not cooperate, then what should they do? Littor glanced at him, and many women began to dodge his eyes, and the angry Lithor wanted to pick up the whip and pull it again, but then his gaze was fixed on a girl.
"I... I... Is that possible? I don't know at all what just happened, I just have... I'm only twelve years old, so I guess it's fine. The woman with green hair asked in a timid voice, Litoll couldn't help but feel that her eyes lit up, although this girl was only twelve years old, but it was absolutely amazing, and the strange green hair was a rare and rare species, turning his head to look at Alduin beside him, his eyes also showed a look of satisfaction.
Outside the city gate of Murrichhouse, two guards stopped Lin Xiu's figure.
"Stop, where are you from?" A guard glanced at Lin Xiu's dirty clothes and strange appearance and blocked his way, obviously no matter how this outfit looks, it doesn't look like a person who is qualified to enter Murrihouse, after all, now that Saxony is invading, they are already frightened birds, but because the area is relatively far away, they also know that the Saxons will not invade here for a while, but this is a good opportunity for extortion.
"Well, I'm here on behalf of Baron Vestinus for important business, I don't know if I can be accommodating." Lin Xiu said, took out a gold leaf from the space watch and stuffed it, the golden flash was particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and the two guards were attracted in an instant.
"Earlier, I almost missed the baron's important business, you can go in quickly." The guard pressed his hand on Lin Xiu's hand without a trace, and then with a relaxed touch, Lin Xiu's hand was already empty, although his hand was still shaking, but his face did not change in the slightest.
"Thank you!" Lin Xiu nodded in thanks, flashed and walked in, and the two people in the back were already excited to start preparing how to divide the spoils, this is a wealth that they may not be able to get in their lifetime, and Lin Xiu snatched the space table of I don't know how many travelers, there are all kinds of luxury goods in it, and he didn't plan to make a rash move without understanding the situation.
