Chapter 556 The Holy City has a hundred faces
'It's over. ....’
Yun Jie secretly said that it was not good, and said busily, "Don't get me wrong. I'm afraid of ruining your family's traditions. ”
"You should say that for Xiaoxiao's sake, you will reject all the other girls. Fisher said.
"Ahem......." Yun Jie blinked and didn't speak.
"Why? You can't do it?"
"Yes. Yun Jie said truthfully.
"Then I'll give you a choice now. Promise my conditions, only love Xiaoxiao, and I will keep you safe in the Holy Realm. No, you leave me now, and let Alex's men take you away. Fisher said solemnly.
"Thank you for your rescue today. Yun Jie finished speaking without hesitation, holding his cane, and bowing respectfully. Then, turn around and leave.
As soon as he left, those who were secretly following began to gather behind Yun Jie, and deliberately walked back and forth to confuse Fisher's vision. Fisher was so angry that his beard trembled, and he yelled, "Come back to me." ”
Yun Jie snorted, passed through the crowd, and ran back quickly.
"Hmph, I thought you weren't afraid of death. Fisher scoffed.
"Hey, hey. I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid that you won't be able to explain in front of Xiaoxiao in the future. Yun Jie smiled.
"Alas......." Fisher sighed, "my family style is about to be broken in the hands of you boy." Let me ask you again, do you promise to love only Xiaoxiao?"
"No, you can't. I owe them so much, including Xiaoxiao. You can call me abusive, but it's the only way I can repay them without hurting any of them. Yun Jie said very seriously.
"Forget it. Who made my granddaughter angry? Fisher sighed, acquiescing.
One after the other, they walked toward the east side of the holy city. As you go down, the buildings on both sides get smaller and smaller. And the road surface is getting harder and harder to walk, and there are potholes and stagnant water everywhere. Further on, close to the edge of the Holy City. It's so depressed that it can't be described as a city. On both sides of the road are patches of improvised shantytowns. There are no walls, only roofed shantytowns. In the shantytown, the slaves were wrapped in pieces of cloth and skinny like skeletons, and they were chained to the ground. His eyes glazed over the pedestrians coming and going on the road......
Yun Jie looked at it, this scene was somewhat similar to the humans in Warcraft captivity when he was in the Warcraft capital. There are even children who can't walk. He couldn't help but say, "Senior, what do these people do? Why are they tied here?"
Fisher glanced at it and said helplessly, "Slave." All slaves. Tied here, waiting for someone to buy them. ”
"Slaves, why are there slaves, is the world of the God of Light allowed to have slaves?" Yun Jie wondered.
"Hmph. No matter how strong the sunlight is, there are corners where it can't shine. And these slaves are the human beings living in the corner. Ridiculous, right? But it exists. What a joke in the world. Fisher sighed.
After hearing this, Yun Jie involuntarily stopped and looked over. The shanty towns where the slaves lived could not even match the livestock sheds of the big families. Flies and feces and urine everywhere. Thin, naked nursing women, children wallowing in the mud, and men with blank eyes like savages. The whole thing looks like an anomaly that hasn't evolved successfully.
However, when people dressed gorgeously and looked like nobles entered it. These people came to life in an instant. His eyes are no longer dull, and he is desperately trying to express himself. Hopefully, someone will buy them and leave this hell on earth.......
"It's all people. Why sell the same kind like goods like goods. Yun Jie said bitterly.
Fisher turned to look at the slaves who looked like they had been picked up and still looked happy, and said, "The reason why they became slaves is the root cause. It is nothing more than the nobles who put the hat of slaves on them in order to achieve the purpose of making a fortune, and slaughtered and bought their ethnic groups at will. In previous years, the price of slaves in the slave market had risen rapidly, and the supply of slaves in the city had outstripped supply. Many large families sent their private armies out of the city to hunt scattered small groups and hoard them to inflate market prices. It just so happened that year that the plague struck, and thousands of slaves died violently overnight. Due to the large number of deaths, many of the bodies were exposed to the scorching sun before they swelled and decomposed. The smell of rotting corpses permeated the Holy City, and many people contracted the plague as a result. At the time, I thought, maybe this is the last revenge of the slaves. Afterwards, Alex dispatched the Burning Sky Army to burn the corpses so that no new epidemic broke out. ”
"Isn't there a law prohibiting the sale of slaves?"
"Nope. It is the aristocracy who holds the laws of mankind. And they were the ones who bought and sold slaves. Do you say, they will make laws that cut off their own financial routes?"
"Was this the case when my father was in power?" Yun Jie couldn't help but ask.
"Your father's time, too. It wasn't as serious as it is now. Moreover, your father gave the law that only forbade the mistreatment of slaves. So, a little better than now. Now that Alex and Musij are involved in the slave trade, you say, who cares if the slaves live or die?" said Fisher.
"If I become the Holy Emperor, my first law is to free all slaves and give them the freedom and rights that normal people deserve. Yun Jie said loudly.
"Remember what you said today. Don't forget it, no matter what time it is. Fisher said.
"I will. ”
The two walked as they talked, gradually getting farther and farther away from the city. The front gradually opened up, and many farmland carved out of the mountains were revealed. In the farmland, people wearing hats and working under the scorching sun stood one after another. When Fisher walks down the country road. When the busy farmers saw him, they all straightened up and greeted him with a smile.
"Do you come to this place often? You can see that you know them well. Yun Jie said.
"Of course. They are all my family. Fisher laughed.
"Huh?. So many, don't you say it's just a child?" Yun Jie exclaimed.
"Alex and I are of the same clan. How many family do you think I have? Do you want me to have my own children?"
"What? You're the same family as Alex, the Reinhardt family, and you're an enemy. ”
"Hehe, it's really a clan. No kidding. These are all slaves that I have bought, and now I have planted all the land for them, so that they may be self-sufficient. ”
"You buy slaves too?. Yun Jie said incredulously.
"Uh-huh. Why don't you sit back and watch them starve to death in the shantytowns?"
"That's right. It's also a way to save them. You brought me here to see them?" Yun Jie agreed.
"It's not. I live here. No, the hut in front of me is my house. Fisher pointed to a rudimentary stone house on the ridge ahead.
Yun Jie couldn't believe that the sub-god Fisher actually lived in such a place. He said, "Why did you live here?"
"And where should I live?" Fisher asked rhetorically.
Yun Jie looked at the huge silhouette of the holy city behind him and said, "Shouldn't you live in the city? There are no high-rise buildings, at least it should be a large compound with three entrances and three exits." Why do you live here? Is it because you're afraid that the slaves will run away?"
"Hahaha, you can't let them run. In the beginning, there were indeed people who ran. Ran and was caught. I've got to go get them back. After a long time, they knew that I would protect them and give them land to plant, so they all settled here with peace of mind. As for why I live here, you look at this big piece of land, groups of people, all need money. I've spent my whole life salary on it, so how can I have extra money to live in the city? Quiet, no open and dark fighting. Coupled with a group of simple slaves, this day is comfortable. Fisher was satisfied.
"You are not rich enough to help the world, but you are not alone. Admirable. Yun Jie exclaimed.
"Don't pat me on the back. Wait a while, when I see my old woman, if you ask about Xiaoxiao, how can you fool the past. She's not as good a talker as I am. Fisher said.
When he said this, Yun Jie suddenly remembered the fierce appearance of Xiaoxiao's mother when he was in Mucheng. I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and asked urgently, "Tell me the truth." Your daughter, Mrs. Lin. Does her personality resemble your wife? ”
"Not like, not like .........," Fisher said, shaking his head.
"Ah, then I'm relieved. Yun Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"My daughter is far from her mother. Fisher added.
"Huh?. Yun Jie was stunned.
"Wait a minute, I may not be able to protect you. Be careful yourself......" Fisher said.
"What do you mean?" Yun Jie said with a bitter expression.
At this moment, I saw an elderly woman with gray hair coming out of the ridge, pointing to this side and shouting, "You are old and immortal." Why did you come back so early?. Did you buy what you bought? ”
"Hey, hey. I bought it, bought it......" is like changing his face, and in the last second, Fisher still looks like an immortal with profound Taoism and humility. In the next second, he was so frightened that he ran to the ridge like his grandson.
Yun Jie looked at that funny appearance and didn't want to laugh at all. On the contrary, it is terrifying. When he was in Mucheng, he could see Mrs. Lin's fierceness. Just now Fisher said that Mrs. Lin is far worse than her mother, so if you deal with her, you won't die. No, I can't admit that I am Yun Jie when I am killed later. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Over there, Fisher was waving to him. Yun Jie's scalp was numb, so he could only walk over with a cane. When I walked in, I saw that the old woman standing next to Fisher had gray hair and a wrinkled face. But it can be vaguely seen that she was definitely a beauty back then. It seems that Fisher was also fascinated by beauty back then.
"Hello grandma. Yun Jie tried his best to pretend to be very well-behaved.
"You are the Yunjie that Xiaoxiao said? The old lady squinted her eyes and said with a serious expression.
Yun Jie secretly looked at Fisher, the old guy looked like he was raking his ears, and said in his heart, "Fisher can't count on it." He immediately said, "Uh...no!"
"Well?..... old immortal, what's going on. The old lady immediately glared at Fisher and asked.
Fisher was also stunned. It took a while to understand that Yun Jie, the stinky boy, was trying to dodge the blow. He hurriedly said, "Don't listen to this little rabbit." He is Yun Jie. After speaking, he yelled at Yun Jie, "Boy, do you want to harm me?" ”
