Chapter 196: A Sad Story

The Kingdom of Rize is the seventh kingdom that Grant and I have traveled together since we met...... From that kingdom of Leyren (the sixth kingdom we traveled together) a year ago, we passed through another country. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past year or so, because the wars have become more and more frequent, the slave trade has begun to bubble exponentially.

In other words, when wars were not frequent, there was also slavery here.

However, slavery at that time was somewhat similar to the nature of labor camps...... When a person commits a crime, he is reduced to a slave (equivalent to imprisonment), and when his labor as a slave offsets the crime he has committed, he is reinstated (equivalent to being released from prison).

When I discovered the origins of slavery from the books I collected, I was amazed...... That's so nice, as for it!

Of course, the good-sounding slavery system was crooked from the very beginning...... What is a crime, and when labor counteracts crime, it is up to the aristocracy to decide.

As for the aristocracy...... That's it.

This system of slavery lasted for hundreds of years, and it was only recently, some time before wars became frequent, that it began to evolve into a pattern of repayment of debts from father to son...... If the father's sin is not paid, the son will pay it again (the slave's child is also a slave).

Of course, the children of former slaves are also slaves, but there is a transition process...... Legally, a slave's child is not a slave at birth. But as the child grows up, the nobles will always find an opportunity to reduce the child to a slave.

As for why the aristocracy is so law-abiding?

Hehe, in a society where the first night and the right are all legal, the nobility will not break the law...... 'the law or something, change it and do it again, it will be legal!' (if you are known to be breaking the law, you will be despised by the aristocratic circle)'.

However, I found that the people here seem to have a more serious mindset...... For example, it took hundreds of years for the slave model of the father's debt repayment to the son to come around (if you want people on the earth, when the system just came out, and the people below are crooked, they will bring out the "child compensation" model).

Moreover, the development of civilization here, as long as it requires people's brains to go around the bend, will not be able to get around for more than ten or hundreds of years.

I'm still exploring why...... I have come up with a number of hypotheses that are still to be tested.

And this led to the fact that the slave trade came out after the wars were frequent...... There are more prisoners of war, and there are more slaves. There were many slaves, and the trade was completed.

Mindset is not brain-dead, as long as you know the result after bypassing the corner, you will naturally make excellent choices.

A kind of slave trade that has just flourished, and the dark side naturally bursts into the air.

Slavery had a dark side to it, but it wasn't as obvious as it is now, when hundreds of people were chained up and down the main road...... There are whipping, sickness, old and weak women and children, and so on.

Then, the Grant Mobile Orphanage officially launched the slave liberation movement.

With the help of a bunch of telekinetic hands, the title of the Knights of Blood and Tears was naturally placed on our heads.

Of course, the beginning of the free-slave movement was not all smooth sailing...... Or that at the beginning, everything is not smooth sailing.

We had just liberated hundreds of people, and every few days we found out that they were robbing the villages, and we killed them in turn, and this happened two or three times...... Those slaves were made up of most of the enemy prisoners of war.

After that, whenever Grant and the others found out that I was not involved in the battle, they first sent Winnie (my brother's sister) to ask me why, so as to avoid a lot of embarrassing things.

Oh, by the way, the 'newly emancipated slaves were found to be smashing and looting', and I deliberately slowed down the trip and deviated the route in those days, so that Grant and the others found out...... The contrast, that look, was really interesting.

After the title of the Knights of Blood and Tears is resounding, there will be commissions, half-commissions, half-requests, pure requests, etc., let us go and free the slaves.

Of course, there are many traps in between...... But Winnie's 'questioning test' (asking me if the other person has a problem) can turn a trap into a countertrap.

As for the current prison robbery?

It was a sad story.

Three days ago, a woman with a masked face and hair took a bag of money and entrusted us to save her husband who was in prison.

Of course, she said that her husband was framed...... The reason is: her husband's ancestral shop was forcibly occupied and demolished immediately after her husband was imprisoned.

I guess she also felt that this reason was not very sufficient, so she only asked us to save her husband...... Or does she think that the money is small, just enough to save people?

Grant: They all stared at me...... Let me judge whether to pick it up or not.

So, I walked up to the woman with her face and hair covered, looked at it from top to bottom, from left to right, and after looking at it for about 3 minutes, I asked her to go back first and give her an answer at dusk.

Of course, after reading these 3 minutes, I was already sure that this commission was acceptable...... "What a pure thought, what an ugly sexuality" is my comment "3 minutes later".

But my reason, I have to explain Grant them reasonably.

So, in the form of a lecture to Winnie, I took Grant and them, and spent about 3 hours, showing them the results I knew earlier, step by step with the technique of a detective game.

First of all, the husband was indeed framed.

Second, it wasn't just the forcible demolition of the gang that framed the husband. The sheriff who convicted the thief was also one of them...... Typical collusion between government and business.

Then, the husband's crimes are also quite interesting, there are 14 counts in total, ranging from the murder of a lonely old man, to the disability of a gang fight, to the theft of valuables by a down-and-out nobleman, and so on...... This is a typical black pot man.

Although the sheriff's black pot technique is a little stupid, it is full of dots...... Bosses, subordinates, colleagues, partners, etc., the black pot that can sell favors is all deducted from the head of the black pot husband.

・・・・・・

It was dusk in the afternoon.

The same place, the same masked woman with fierce hair.

After hearing that we had accepted the commission, she happily placed the money bag in front of me.

I took a step back and didn't answer...... Damn, there are obviously 3 STDs on it, it's so dirty!

She paused a little awkwardly for 3 seconds before stepping forward again.

I took a step back again and didn't answer again.

This time she was embarrassed to stay where she was, holding her money bag outstretched, not knowing what to do...... Cut, she's embarrassed to be embarrassed, anyway, I'm definitely not going to touch this money bag!

At this point, Grant was rightfully bubbling...... Take the money bag and comfort the woman (oh, Grant's comfort, that's what I mean badly).
