Chapter 10: The Slaves Picked

The two dwarf brothers brought the unconscious Hughes to the shore and called the human seafood sellers, hoping that they would take care of their kind, but the seafood sellers saw that Hughes was half dead, and did not want to pay any attention to it, as if they had not seen it, and went on with their business.

"What an iron heart, seeing the suffering of his own kind, there is not a trace of sympathy, a dwarf would never be like this. My brother sighed.

"I said that you are nosy, see if you don't care, human beings don't care, I think just throw him on the beach and leave it to fate. "The younger brother looked down on humans even more, and he didn't care about Hughes's situation.

"That's all there is to it. The elder brother felt that he had not violated the king's recent decree, nor was he dead or dead, and that they were certainly not obliged to take care of the wounded humans all the time, and that the fishermen were simple, but they still did not have much affection for humans.

Hughes was abandoned on the beach like this, and when he woke up in the night, he felt the sharp pain of the wound, and he also felt the extreme hunger in his belly, and the strong desire to survive made him lie on his stomach on the seashore, and when he encountered some dead fish and rotten shrimp thrown by the fishermen, they were stuffed into his mouth, and then he found fresh water in a puddle, and after a few sips, he fell asleep again.

The strong physique allowed him to withstand the inflammation and fever, and on the third day, he was finally able to sit up, tear off his dirty clothes, and look at the huge wound on his chest, which had miraculously healed, and his body seemed to be fine, except that his head was still aching, and he couldn't think about the past, staring at the vast sea water, and kept asking who he was.

The sea didn't give Hughes an answer, but the seafood seller gave him a new home. When Kitto saw Hughes wake up with a strong body, his eyes rolled and he sat down to test the young man: "Where is it from, boy?" ”

Hughes was asked by Kitto, and suddenly became even more confused, he thought hard and thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I can't remember where I'm from or who I am." ”

A wicked smile flashed across Kitto's face, and he asked further, "Why, can't you even remember home, don't you know me?"

Hughes looked at the seafood seller in his forties and shook his head.

"I'm your master, stupid. Kito gave Hughes a moment, feeling that he didn't have any resistance movements, and felt a lot more relieved, "You've been working for me, you ran out two days ago, you must have gotten lost, and now you finally know that you're back." ”

"What are you working for?" Hughes shook his head, not impressed.

"I see there are a few boys about your age, and you, like them, are slaves who help me carry my goods. "Kitto was very beautiful in his heart, and thought to himself that this time he had picked up a slave who did not cost money, and he was still very strong, which was really a gift from the god of the sea. At first, he thought this guy was going to die. "Go ahead, go down to business, I'll keep you fed, but you have to work hard, hurry up and help me load, and learn how to steer a boat, and we must transport the seafood to the Duchy of Seneh as soon as possible, so that we can sell it at a good price." ”

Seneh...... Seneh ...... "Hughes felt a little touched when he heard this name, and he couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Hurry up, stinky boy, don't test my patience. Kitto tried to give Hughes a hard kick, and Hughes seemed frightened and quickly stood up, looking afraid. Kito hugged his feet and grinned, "Go and do something, we must rush to the Twin Towers Port tomorrow." ”

The location of the Twin Towers, the mouth of the Luyin River, is the largest port in the Duchy of Seneh, and its size is limited to the population, and there are no decent warships or deep-water docks, but because of the people's preference for seafood, it gradually formed a trading place, named because of the construction of two tall lighthouses. Due to limited storage techniques, the vast majority of seafood is digested in the harbor, and only a small portion is dried and transported elsewhere. So, to eat truly delicious seafood, you have to rush to the Twin Towers, a favorite spot for many aristocrats, including the infamous Archduke Alik.

Humans are limited to fishing inshore, while dwarf fishermen dare to venture further afield, so their harvest is much richer. The relationship between the goblins and humans was not harmonious, so there was no official contact between them, and seafood sellers like Kitto only dared to go to small fishing villages to buy seafood, but despite this, they still made a lot of profits, often bringing rare varieties back to Shuangta Port to sell for a good price, but the journey back and forth was more difficult.

Except for the arrival of the typhoon, Kitto would come to the small fishing village once every six months, and the workers were all big-shouldered slaves, and in order to ensure the freshness of the seafood, they had to ship the goods quickly so as not to delay the trip or cause losses. Being beaten and scolded is a common thing, especially Hughes, a stupid guy who just came, has become the target of everyone's bullying.

Slaves did not sympathize with slaves, on the contrary, they often leaned into each other, in order to be more relaxed, for the sake of a little sweetness given by their masters, in order to appear "superior" in front of other slaves, and the internal struggle was also fierce. The dirty, the tiring and the rough work were now given to Hughes, who was brain-damaged, and often stunned, drawing rough fists and scolding, did the most work on the ship, but was the worst treatment, sleeping in the dirtiest places, eating other people's leftovers, and wearing the most tattered clothes.

Losing his memory, Hughes has completely changed, he is no longer the referee with a sharp mind and good concentration, he has become very fragile, very timid, a loud yelling can make him shrink into a ball, his eyes dare not look directly at others, dodge everywhere, and even become collapsed, lying on the ground and begging for mercy.

Hughes looked at the end of the sea, his gaze always falling between the sky and the sea, as if there was an answer he was looking for - who am I, where do I come from? Hughes didn't talk to anyone, he only talked to the ethereal distance, muttering until a slap or a leather whip pulled him back to reality, and continued to be with the smelly seafood.

Perhaps, in the eyes of everyone, Hughes is not as important as an eastern star spot.
