Chapter 72: Break Out, Slave

How were slaves formed?

Ninety-nine percent of slaves were made because of war, internal wars, external wars, national wars, race wars, and so on.

In this world, because of the diversity of races and the diversity of forces, war is like a coarse meal, so the number of slaves has always been maintained at a rather alarming level.

In the earthly world, especially in those human countries, slaves still have the opportunity to change their fate, for example, a slave behaves very well, has a specialty in some aspects, and is appreciated by the master, it is likely that the master will help him remove the slave status as soon as he is kind, and even in a very small number of countries, a contract must be signed between the slave and the master, and a slave can automatically become a free person as long as he meets some conditions.

However, in the underground world, these do not exist, slaves will always be slaves, even if they are a slave with extremely useful specialties or even extremely powerful strength, that is, they are better off than ordinary slaves, and there will never be a chance to get out of slavery, the moment they become slaves, they will be labeled until they die.

Nearly half of the slaves Langdon received had only one slave label, indicating that they had become slaves directly under the rule of Isis's master, while some slaves had more slave labels, up to 5, indicating that they had experienced slave trading, or had been robbed, and had been slaves under multiple forces.

Of course, none of this matters to Langdon.

After receiving the assignment, Langdon canceled the idea of sending them directly to the construction site, and instead left them in Yuanwang Town for the time being, and let them rest comfortably in those regular houses for three days, during which they were provided with an ample supply of food—wheat flour steamed buns, wild vegetables, fish, and even two meals with meat, which they were sure was the most abundant food they had eaten since they became slaves.

Adequate rest and food supplies quickly restored their workforce to 100%, and then Langdon equipped them with tools and pulled them to the waterway excavation site.

This was Langdon's third visit, the first two to make sure the waterway wasn't out of his design, and this time for the slaves.

As soon as they arrived, the slaves went to work, and worked for hours until it was time to eat.

Just as the slaves were looking forward to continuing with the abundance of food they had before, they were disappointed.

Each slave was given only one wheat flour bun, which was much smaller than what they had eaten in the previous days, and as for vegetables and meat, there was no meat at all.

It's nothing, the shortest of these slaves has been a slave for several years, for them, this kind of food is normal, and the first three days were a sweet dream.

However, when they saw the food of the other workers, they froze.

Each worker has 2 wheat flour steamed buns, each of which can be given 2 to 3 of the kind given to them, and in addition, everyone can get some wild vegetables, and they have eaten these for three days, which are not simple wild vegetables, but are fried with salt and some spices, and the taste is quite delicious.

Oh, and by the way, for every two of them, they get a fish that's grilled.

Looking at such contrasting food, a strange emotion was born in the hearts of many hard workers.

The meal time was soon over, the work continued, and soon, the strange mood continued to expand again, and the foreman said that it was time to rest, and watched as everyone else dragged their tools to those makeshift resting places, and the slaves subconsciously did so.

Then they were driven back by the foreman with a frightening whip, and they had to work for an hour and a half more than the others.

Finally making it to the end of their work, they were led back to their resting place, an open space where there was nothing.

They passed by the rest quarters of the others, and of course they could see clearly that they had tents made of animal skins, and in the tents there were beds made of licorice......

With the strange mood of rapid expansion, the slaves could only rest in the clearing, but no one knew how many people really fell asleep that night.

In fact, even if it is such an environment, it is much better than the environment they stayed in before, however, there is a good saying, there is no harm if there is no comparison.

The next morning, the sound of the foreman's whip woke the slaves from their sleep, there was no sun in the underworld, and no one knew the exact time without timekeeping tools, but looking at the tents that were still closed, they were different.

Just when they thought they were going to be driven to work by the foreman, a man appeared in front of them.

After these few days, they were no strangers to this man, Langdon, the lord of this area, their new master, was also the one who gave them those three days of good dreams.

"You must be mentally uncomfortable. Langdon didn't talk nonsense, straight to the point, "Well, I guess many people don't understand what that inexplicable emotion in your heart is, I can tell you, it's dissatisfaction, it's anger." ”

"Why can other people eat big steamed buns with stir-fried wild vegetables and grilled fish, while you can only eat the stuff that is enough to stuff your teeth?"

"Why can the others get to work at the point while you have to do an extra hour and a half?"

"Why can other people sleep on haystacks with tents, while you can sleep in a damp, cold clearing?"

"Why do you have to drag your tired body to work while others are still enjoying their dreams?"

"The reason is simple, they are free people, and you are slaves!"

A few words tore through everyone's defenses.

There was never a moment when they hated their slavery as much as they were, they were so angry that they clenched their fists, and they were so sad that they could only spread out their hands and cover their faces.

However, the next moment, with a word, they all subconsciously put down their hands.

All eyes were on Langdon's body.

"I can dismiss you as slaves!"

"Three days. Langdon felt the burning gaze on his face, and said lightly: "As long as your daily workload is 1.5 times that of those free people, that is to say, the amount you make alone is the amount that they do by one and a half people, you can enjoy the same food treatment as them." ”

"Seven days. Langdon said the second time, "If you can do one at the top of two, you will be treated as well as them, with delicious food, comfortable accommodation, and good dreams in going to bed early and waking up late." ”

"And you just have to keep it that way for more than a month. Langdon paused, and said the third time again, "I'll release you from slavery and make you a free citizen in Yuanwang Town!"

"You can not believe me, but you are now a slave, at the bottom of this society, even if I lie to you, you have no more to lose, so why not just fight and bet that what I said is true?"

As the last sentence was spoken, the eyes that were originally very wooden finally began to shine......
