In the town of Belica, on the outskirts of the Forest of Mist, the Snow Elves who had passed through the Guò portal handed over a special chest containing five kilograms of Refined Olihakon to Prince Rost, and instructed him to hand it over to the head of the Ring of Blackstone, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of transporting the next batch of elven and dwarven slaves. The whole box is made of special materials, and there is a one-time magic lock on it, and the method of opening the magic circle has been revealed to Crossside in advance, and it takes a lot of time for outsiders to open the box, even if they are proficient in the magic circle, if they want to use brute force to open it, then the opener will have to taste the taste of level 14 fire magic.

It was also a sigh to witness the elven envoy leave Rost, these silver-haired elves were all followers of the ancient god Arin, under the protection of a god, when the other elves were driven out of their homes and wantonly captured, they not only did not have to fear the pursuit of humans on the continent, but even enslaved humans to become their servants. Thinking about the humans who had been sent to the Belica Fortress in the name of 'weapons and supplies' from the Free City some time ago, Rost probably understood the fate of these humans.

The same race but with a completely opposite fate, this qiē is because of the power brought by the 'gods'!

Here Rost doesn't dare to think too much!

In a mine in the Arnold Mountains, truckloads of sorted ore are being transported on automatic tracks, which run through the guò magic without the need for human and animal power, saving a lot of time and improving mining efficiency. The minecarts that are grouped together are sent to Ulduar by the portal at one time, and are automatically converted into material energy by the summoning system, and then the empty minecarts are returned to the mine to wait for a new batch of ore to be loaded onto the truck.

"Please come with me, Suzaku-sama!" a dwarf overseer of the mine wore a miner's hat and guided Suzaku to inspect the mine. Or, more precisely, to inspect the living conditions of the human slave laborers who work here.

Suzaku nodded, and behind him were the Golden Saint Seiya Elcid and the Norse God Fighter Czechfried.

Three thousand human beings came to the city of Ulduar at one time, and it was naturally impossible for such a large-scale population to hide everyone's eyes forever, especially some small partners with an excessive sense of justice. Yalin felt that instead of being discovered and exposed, it was better to explain the situation directly, after all, he didn't really want to enslave these people as slaves forever, and in the future, once Ulduar City survived the most difficult period, these human beings would be gradually liberated into citizens.

In fact, Yalin was also glad that he chose to take the initiative to explain that the first thought of the Saint Seiya when he learned that there were human slaves sent here was to liberate them to become free people, and Suzaku Shuki also agreed with this opinion. But Yarin also explained the current situation in the city of Ulduar, after all, the city of Ulduar is a non-human gathering place. And many of these slaves were probably criminals and captured soldiers. Once they are given freedom right away, they may become a factor of instability. Therefore, it is necessary to observe for a while from their worksheets to determine that those people can be absorbed into the city of Ulduar, and that it is better to be imprisoned in the mines for the rest of their lives and work until they die.

Since the concept of 'enslavement' was completely contrary to the concept of the God Fighter, the Golden Saint Seiya couldn't accept this kind of thing for a while, but Shumu Suzaku accepted it first. In Suzaku's opinion, since these people were 'bought' back by Yalin. Then they were also to work for a period of time without pay as a reward for their liberation before they were freed from slavery. As long as they are given enough food and do not overly oppress them, Suzaku believes that they are temporarily forced to work within their own acceptable limits.

Because of the defection of Shumu Suzaku in his position, several Golden Saint Seiya also wavered. In the end, everyone decided to make a decision according to Yalin's on-site inspection.

Sitting on the elevator to the work area on the lower level, what caught my eye was a large number of magic crystal searchlights illuminating the originally dark mine as if it was day, the three of them looked down from above, and the mine was full of human miners in overalls and hard hats, and the rock walls were covered with dark brown ore, under the orders of the dwarven overseers, these human miners were working honestly without the slightest resistance.

"Looks pretty good. Suzaku leaned against the railing and looked at it, and the imaginary scene of whips flying and wailing did not seem to appear.

"Of course~ these guys were all malnourished when they were sent over, and it is said that in the free city they all eat dry and hard bread and moldy grain that can no longer be sold, and what is supplied here is fresh food and even meat, and these guys will naturally work hard. The dwarven overseer wiped his beard and said in a somewhat smug tone: "The inefficient method of bloody pressing has long been outdated, and the highest efficiency can only be achieved by using the whip and candy at the same time. ”

Each person digs a basket of ore every day in exchange for a day's food, and for each basket that is overcompleted, he gets one point, which can be used to exchange for extra food or medicine, clothing, and other supplies, and for every 1,000 points he collects, the person can get rid of slavery and get free.

According to the calculations, the highest excavation record is a mercenary who used to work in the mine to dig six frames of ore in one day, but this guy was so tired that he had to rest all day, 2 of the 6 points were exchanged for food, 3 points were exchanged for a bottle of spirits, and in the end, the mercenary only had one point left. So far, only one mercenary who is eager to escape from slavery has accumulated 34 points!

"That's not bad, but in some ways it's not slavery. Czechfried nodded and was the first to agree, for the Norse god gladiator saw this kind of enslavement as long as the work was done with food and extra work was actually very easy.

"But isn't it too much for those kids to work too?" said Elcid, gesturing to the little boy who was helping pick up the ore fragments on the ground.

The dwarf overseer looked at it and hurriedly explained: "This is the case for the time being, but I heard that His Majesty Yalin has decided to carry out some basic education for these children, and may be exempted from the children's work in the future. ”

Elcid thought for a moment and couldn't make a decision, followed the dwarven overseer to look elsewhere, and Elcid finally noticed a somewhat discordant scene, three men with beaten skin and flesh on their backs were fixed by torture instruments and knelt on the ground. Nearby, a tall minotaur was clapping his hands with a leather whip in protest.

"Can you explain?" said Elcid, gesturing to the man being tortured in front of him.

"A few self-righteous mercenaries are trying to form a gang here to steal points from others, so they have been taught a lesson to understand who can only make the rules here!"

The collar around the neck of each working slave is also like a bank card, and the points are entered from the terminal when the points are settled every day, and the collar can be scanned to exchange for something, and some people have also begun to breed the idea of forming cliques after working for a while, and have begun to force others to exchange the points for drinks and other luxury food for themselves. However, it is a pity that the dwarves and elven overseers here are all creatures in the summoning system, and there is no doubt about their loyalty, and any bribery methods are of no use to them at all, and soon these overseers have shown what is called 100% supervision efficiency, and all oppression and faction behavior are suppressed under the power of the salt-soaked leather whip.

Elcid glanced around, especially some human slave workers who had already cast a puzzled look at his group, these slave workers thought that this was a non-human country, and the humans who entered here were all elves and dwarves slaves, and the situation was completely opposite to that of the eastern part of the continent. Today, the overseer will respectfully lead a few humans to inspect, which makes these human slaves a little unclear about the situation for a while.

It doesn't look like it's as bad as it seems, and it's not a bad thing to work hard for freedom. "In this case, Elcid has no choice but to admit that this kind of 'enslavement' of Cheng Dù is not slavery at all, after all, Lord Yalin still gives these people the only opportunity to obtain, of course, in exchange for the price.

The dwarven overseer happily escorted the three of them out of the mine and went to the living quarters to check on the situation, when a little girl in a small miner's uniform pulled her mother next to her and asked, "Mom, are those people human like us?"

The girl's mother wiped her sweat and hugged the child over and said, "Don't ask so much, hurry up and dig this basket of ores, and the points in my mother's hand can be exchanged for medicine for my father." ”

Thinking of her father, who had been beaten in the lungs by the slave owner before, the little girl nodded vigorously, her father's body was very weak, and she couldn't dig a basket of ore every day, and she needed her mother's assistance to complete the work, otherwise her father would not be able to receive food. It's hard work to dig three baskets of ore every day, but the food here is very tasty, not the hard bread and stinky soup, but the fresh rice and fragrant dishes and even the meat every day. Yesterday, everyone had a chicken leg in their meal, and I deliberately didn't eat the chicken leg and left it for my father.

I heard my mother say that as long as you dig one more box of ore, you can accumulate points for your father in exchange for treatment medicine, and when your father's injury is healed, then you will definitely be able to dig more ore, and maybe your parents will be able to exchange points for more food, and I also heard the little Gyer next door say that if you can have 1000 points, then you don't need to mine stones here every day.

I can no longer be a slave!

The little girl recalled the word 'slave' with some distraction, the girl only knew that when the grumpy dwarf who was as tall as herself announced this, many people shed tears, even her parents cried, I really don't know why everyone is crying┉┉ (To be continued......)
