Chapter 52: Deception
According to Atul, the slaves chosen in the name of the priests could not even enter the city of Davis, and as soon as they arrived at the small Sey, they were directly put on ships and transported to a place called Sumivanu. Atul didn't know what would happen to these slaves, but he had only heard that the slaves would be sent farther away, and that none of the slaves who had gone out of Davis would ever return.
Atul didn't know where he was talking about the farther afield, whether there were witch towers and tribes like Davis, he only knew that about 400 slaves would be transported out after each witch sacrifice......
Farmland!
The continent of Deves is supplying slaves to other continents!
This thought suddenly flashed through Tang Ba's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
There are nine tribes in the Devis Continent, and it is not the patriarch who really has the right to speak and rule in the tribe, but the witch sent to the tribe from the witch tower to manage it.
And these witches did not make the life of the tribal people better, but looked at the inter-tribal war and the life and death of the tribesmen like a bystander. Even Shi Shi, whose family members are still in the tribe, has an inexplicable indifference when facing his own people.
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, others are already "dead things"!
The harder and more difficult life is, it can promote harmonious relations between people, but under the control of these ruling classes, the tribal people are indifferent and disregard for life and death.
Tang Ba recalled that Xixia and Zhigan went to Zang Wolf's territory to hunt beasts together, but Zang Wolf came to Xixia to take revenge and Zhigan escaped, and it was also because of this incident that the relationship between Xixia and Zhigan became very delicate.
This connection between the cause and the effect had to make Tang Ba suspect that all this was actually a means for the witches of the three clans to divide the tribe, and its purpose was to make the gradually befriended Xixia and Zhigan have a disagreement, and deepen the hatred between Zang Wolf and Xixia.
Rulers dismantle trust between people, divide tribal relations, and unleash naked benefits to appease and win hearts and minds.
The people who have been brainwashed by the Wu Tower and returned to their hometown are good "role models"!
And people like Atul may never leave the Witch Tower.
The tribal people are living blindly in this deception, and the real luck may be those who have never been "cared for" by the gods, and live in the tribe with peace of mind until they die.
Once you find a clue from the chaos, the connections between things are irrepressibly spread.
Tang Ba frowned in disgust, she used to be one of them, and she once fantasized about taking her family around, but wherever she could go, as long as she was still in the Davis Continent, she couldn't escape the rules here.
"You're going to be a witch. Atul looked at Damba and affirmed.
Tang Ba smiled bitterly, "I know. ”
"You ......" Atul's eyes were complicated, and he stopped talking several times before speaking again, "Be careful yourself." ”
Tang Ba didn't expect that her meeting with Atul was the first and last time, and it was only after a long time that Tang Ba really understood that the phrase "be careful yourself" was not a politeness, but a reminder!
Looking at the back that disappeared behind the wooden door, Tang Ba's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. She is an ant among all beings, but she sees the truth hidden in the darkness, and the hesitation and overwhelm in the face of power makes her depressed.
Dudley, Fenta, Mayi, Ao!
The childish faces, the trusting eyes, and the unbridled laughter echoing in the snow......
After all, I hurt you.
If she hadn't accepted Gu Rong's request in the first place, her partners wouldn't have become slaves!
If she hadn't made up and fooled Huku's investigation at the beginning, Ami wouldn't have died for her!
If she hadn't escaped from Zang Wolf at all, Zhanma wouldn't have become a lonely person, and Kanga wouldn't have suddenly had a special ability!
It's not all because of her face, this face that looks like Lan Ge!
The narrow space, the spiraling steps, a thin body walked in between, as if she had drowned in this darkness, without the slightest hint of life. Even when the fluorescent light suddenly appeared above the steps, she ignored it and continued to walk.
The only good thing this face brings to her may be that she won't die!
"Don ...... Damba, is that you?" the voice of inquiry from above the stairs trembled as if it would break at any moment.
"Zhu Shui?!" Tang Ba asked uncertainly.
"Yes...... It's me. ”
Tang Ba was surprised, and after a few steps, he saw Zhu Shui standing stiffly on the steps, and more importantly, she was the only one!
"Why are you here?"
There was not a trace of blood on Zhu Shui's face, and the hand holding the fluorite shook uncontrollably, "Luo Wu...... Luo Wu said that the great witch returned from the witch hall...... Came back, let...... Let's go and greet ...... Great Witch. ”
The Great Witch is going to choose a witch!
Tang Ba was shocked, she never doubted whether she could become a witch, but at this moment she truly understood the benefits of becoming a witch.
Identity and rights!
No matter what world it is, there are not so many ifs, what happens is what happens, and there is absolutely no possibility of starting over, but she will never allow things to happen again that she regrets.
She used to try to make herself stronger, but it was not only her body that really wanted to be strong, but also her status!
Only in this way can she have the ability to protect her family and friends, she can quickly understand the laws of this world, and she can implement her plan to leave this continent full of lies with her family to find a suitable place for them to survive.
Tang Ba looked at the pale face of Zhu Shui, and a warm current welled up in her heart, she was really lucky, but she kept bringing misfortune to the people around her, she couldn't be an ant anymore!
Tang Bala pulled up Zhu Shui's hand, and she followed the ice hand, obviously scared all the way, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
Zhu Shui hugged Tang Ba's arm, and said without admitting it: "I...... I'm not afraid at all, let's go back quickly, Luo Wu is already waiting. ”
Tang Ba and Zhu Shui met Luo Wu at the platform on the second floor, and although Luo Wu, who looked at the two who returned late, didn't say anything, his face was extremely bad.
The girls followed in silence, and even the Tangba was unusually well-behaved.
Luo Wu led the sacrifices into another small arched door, where Damba had come, and at the end of the stairs was a wall, but this time an extremely long corridor suddenly appeared.
It turned out that the wall was a secret door, and behind the door was a promenade leading to the trapezoidal building.
At the end of the corridor stood two men with halberds, both dressed in khaki clothes, but different from the robes that guarded the kitchen door. Both of them are capable shorts, equipped with leather armor on their chests, wrists, and calves, and are different from the people in the Witch Tower in terms of weapons and temperament.
There are not only witches and scholars with special abilities, but also a formal army with special abilities!
For the first time, Damba had a desire for power, a very strong desire!
