341. Slave Market
Rouen Town is the first human town that Ji Ruo came into contact with after coming to the Earth Mother Continent.
And Ji Ruo came in from the entrance of the secret realm, although he used many arbitrary doors to rush through the process of finding this town, but it also showed how remote the location of this town is, almost on the edge of the secret realm, the land is barren, and there is not much development value.
Because it was too poor, slavery did not develop.
Occasionally, the young people in the town would leave the town to work in the 'big city' or something, but they usually left and never came back.
Jonathan is neither too big nor too small and an aristocrat, so he knows that these so-called 'going to work in big cities' guys usually either die halfway through or are tricked into becoming slaves.
There were no slaves in the town of Rouen, but the town of Rouen produced slaves.
That's probably what it means.
"Because I am a nobleman, although I am only the lowliest baron, if those who leave the town of Rouen become slaves, the slave chamber will give me some share, and this is how I know that those people have become slaves." Jonathan explained: "But the people who came out of our town were people with no special talents, and they didn't buy much money in general, so I didn't get a lot of them.
Although I don't have slaves, I've heard that slaves don't live very well. β
Ji Ruo was curious: "Then have you ever thought about redeeming these people?" β
"Didn't think about it." Jonathan shook his head: "Selling a slave has to provide food, shelter and clothing, which is a lot of money, and besides, it is their own choice, why should I pay for them?" β
"That's right."
Ji Ruo nodded, and then chatted with everyone in the makeshift chat platform while following the mosquito bite.
Because this chat platform is based on Ji Ruo's Star Swirl Cave Sky, Jonathan and others living in Star Swirl Cave can also participate in the group chat.
As new believers in Ji Ruo, the brothers and sisters heard some stories about Ji Ruo from Lao Laode, and their understanding of the god of the stove they believed in deepened a little.
In particular, the part where the gods fought for their own believers was heard with relish by Sheila and others.
Even Liang Shixian was very interested, and asked about some details of the battle repeatedly.
Because of this, Ji Ruo once again felt the feeling of irritable tinnitus.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the details, but if you don't listen carefully, it's like thousands of mosquitoes flying around your ears.
In this regard, Ji Ruo had to make some optimizations to this chat platform, he turned all the conversation content into the form of chat bubbles, and used the statue of the Star Swirl Cave as a storage device, so that the 'chat history' can be stored for a long time, and if you want to listen to anything, just click on it.
Moreover, the idol can also perform some simple automatic analysis, marking some slightly important content in red, and the practicality is further improved.
By the way, this kind of chat can only take effect within the range that Ji Ruo's divine consciousness can cover, and as a two-star god, if you don't consider accuracy, the radius of the range that Ji Ruo's current divine consciousness can cover can be about one kilometer.
That is to say, after joining the 'group chat', with Ji Ruo himself as the center of the circle, you can use this platform to communicate with Ji Ruo or other group chat members within a radius of two kilometers, but the farther away it is, the more ambiguous the chat content will beβit can probably be understood that the signal is not good.
The mosquitoes leading the way in front of them did not bite, and from time to time quietly turned back to look at everyone.
Because it was a new connector, the mosquito didn't bite and thought that they would ask themselves some details of the goods, but they didn't expect everyone to say a word, looking cold, it seems that they were explained by their predecessors in advance, after all, although this kind of thing is not explicitly forbidden by the empire, but on the bright side, it is always a little not good.
......
Soon, Ji Ruo and the others came to the so-called slave market.
Slightly richly dressed guests walked through the market, guided and introduced by the 'on-site staff', visiting and selecting their favorite slaves.
The slaves stood on the platforms that looked like display cases, clearly marked prices, waiting for the rich to choose.
Most of these slaves were women, and most of them wore shabby and ragged clothes, revealing large areas of skin. Anyone who understands understands.
Of course, it's not all female slaves, and there are also male ** subordinates, but it doesn't seem to have any characteristics.
The slaves looked at each 'guest' with anticipation, not very strong, but they didn't seem to resist their current identity.
And the kind of 'expectation' in their eyes inexplicably gives people a feeling of 'professional smile'.
"Ji Ruo, I'm a little uncomfortable here." Liang Shixian said in the chat platform.
Ji Ruo nodded slightly: "Me too." β
Obviously they are all human beings, but these so-called slaves can only stand on the 'counter' and choose in the form of goods, which makes the two teenagers from Great Xia feel very uncomfortable.
Even Ji Ruo had the urge to set off a liberation movement on the spot.
But it's not time yet, and mosquitoes continue to lead the way.
Moreover, if you only change such a place, it does not mean much.
The slave trade is a legal act in the Mother Earth continent. This can be seen from the fact that there was a special slave market in the imperial capital.
And the transaction that mosquitoes don't bite with themselves, or with the Beast God Arena, is obviously illegal, so what you see here is far from all.
So, wait a little longer.
After a while, the mosquito bite led everyone to a corner.
"A few adults, in addition to the batch of goods for you, we have recently entered a batch of more high-end goods, considering that several adults are coming for the first time, if you are interested, after the transaction is completed, I can also take a few adults to visit, as adults, you should be able to get a good discount......"
Mosquito Bu said, glanced at the two siblings and Tim, and said, "Some special needs can also meet the young." β
Obviously, he regarded the three of Ashur as Ji Ruo's slaves, and he quietly 'evaluated' Ji Ruo on the way here.
After the operation, a groove appeared on the wall, which embedded the coat of arms into the groove, and a small magic array suddenly appeared here.
"It's teleportation magic." Tim explained in the chat group: "The teleportation distance is very close, just underground, and below is the real slave market. β
Ji Ruo's heart moved when he heard this.
Real slave market......
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me."
The mosquito does not bite and steps into the teleportation array and disappears.
Several people did not hesitate and followed one after another.
The next moment, everyone came to the ground.
"Lord Stove, why don't these people wear clothes, aren't they cold?"
Nancy asked curiously.
Ji Ruo's divine sense swept away, and he suddenly became even more angry.
The underground slave market is larger than the one on the ground, and the 'counters' are more elaborate, and there is even a transparent cover like glass to cover the slaves inside.
As far as the 'grade' is concerned, the slaves here are obviously of higher quality, the female slaves are delicate-looking, and the male slaves are tall and burly, and the appearance is good.
The difference is that the 'glass cover' of the counter where the female slaves are located is fully covered, with only a few small air holes.
The 'glass covers' of the counters where the male slaves were located were only half of them.
But without exception, everyone was indifferent, their eyes were extremely empty, and they showed themselves numbly to the 'guests'.
And the guests here are obviously more noble than those above, and there are men and women.
Most of the male guests are choosing female slaves, and of course there are also male slaves.
And the female guests, all wearing masks on their faces, are mainly selecting male slaves, and they can also get their hands on the goods!
Sheila covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "These people, how can they ......?"
Compared to divinity, Sheila, as a human body, is still dominated by human nature most of the time.
And although the goddess of death is in charge of the death of all things, and theoretically knows all the existence in the world, the information she has is too large for Sheila to fully accept, so she didn't know that there was such a place in the world.
"It's disgusting!" Emily also said in disgust, and at the same time covered the eyes of the two siblings, and said, "Don't look at this, children. β
Because they were too shocked, the two subconsciously said these words.
βοΌβ
The mosquito didn't bite and looked at Ji Ruo suspiciously: "My lord, what do they mean?" β
"Nothing." Ji Ruo raised his hand expressionlessly and pinched his face, and said coldly: "You didn't hear anything." Sheila, do you know how to do magic like puppetry? β
Emily shook her head, "I'll only be able to heal and buff magic." β
Sheila said, "I can only control the dead. β
Ji Ruo was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at the mosquito with a frightened expression, and his eyes turned into pure black and pure white.
He is consuming divine power at any cost, and activates one of the duties attached to his divine position - to observe good and evil!
This is one of the basic functions of the Stove God, and its main function is to monitor the good and evil in the world.
If the mosquito does not bite Ji Ruo's believer, then Ji Ruo does not need to consume divine power, and he can know the good and evil of this person's life, but unfortunately he is not, and Ji Ruo does not want this kind of believer.
By the way, since the god of the stove has the authority to 'supervise', he naturally has the authority to report.
The so-called 'check the good and evil of a family, and play the merits of a family'.
Legend has it that the god of the stove attendants two gods on the left and right, one holding the "good pot" and the other holding the "evil pot", and keeps the family's behavior record in the jar at any time, and then reports to the Jade Emperor after the total at the end of the year.
At present, if there is no god to choose to serve, and there are not many living believers, this kind of thing will naturally have to come by itself.
Besides, the Jade Emperor is the leader of the 'Heavenly Court' in the legend, and the 'Heavenly Court'... Now there are only two incense gods, Ji Ruo and the white cat, where did they come from?
Therefore, this authority is useless for the time being.
After recording and reporting, the 'Heavenly Court' will arrange different 'destinies' for mortals based on this data.
And the so-called 'fate' is actually not mysterious, it is just to increase the probability of certain 'opportunities' or the possibility of living a 'good life' on a macro level, and it is not completely controlled.
Whether or not they can seize the 'opportunity' depends on the mortals themselves.
The so-called 'good life' is actually a good life, no disasters and no diseases, etc., and most people do not realize that they are actually living a 'good life' before they really experience hardship.
This information is all brought by the Stove God Position.
Back to business.
If he consumes divine power at any cost, he naturally doesn't just want to see if mosquitoes bite whether it's good or evil, he also wants to see more.
So, under the urging of Ji Ruo's divine power, part of the experience of mosquito bites gradually appeared in front of Ji Ruo's eyes.
In this process, Ji Ruo's eyes completely turned into pure black, and his face was pale.
Most of the so-called slaves in this place were abducted and even forcibly taken by them through various means.
They had never seen these 'slaves' as human beings, and the images they saw were so cruel and disgusting that they even reached the point where they would be 404 if they described it a little.
'Cards. β
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Ruo directly twisted the neck of the mosquito.
The first time he killed someone with his own hands, Ji Ruo didn't feel uncomfortable, he even felt that killing this guy like this was a bit cheaper.
Although the mosquito does not bite the mastermind, it is also innocent.
Although the empire can allow this kind of place to exist, although it is not on the surface, it also shows that there is no need for these people to be handed over to the local judicial authorities.
"Alright, Sheila, wake him up."
Sheila nodded with an ugly face, raised her hand and grabbed the frightened soul from the void: "You, you-"
Before he could finish a sentence, his entire soul was completely controlled by Sheila and became calm.
At the same time, Sheila also saw the pictures Ji Ruo saw from the mosquito's soul, and angrily 'broadcast' them to Ji Ruo's chat channel, so that everyone who had Ya Xiu and Nancy could see them.
"Well killed!"
"These scumbags, Lord Stove! Kill them! β
The inhabitants of the former town of Rouen were excited.
Liang Shixian was also very angry.
Ji Ruoyu said: "Squad leader, transform, kill directly." β
"Good!"
Although it is possible to kill the past without changing the body, this kind of thing to promote justice is better than the armored warrior.
Tim tilted his head, she didn't quite understand why they were so angry, as Mother Earth, she already knew everything underground, but she didn't think it was strange.
Because similar things are everywhere on the mainland, so she is used to it.
The most important thing is that she is not human, not even a creature, and there is no way to empathize.
The dazzling light and mechanical transformation sound effects instantly attracted the attention of most people in this underground market.
The three of them completed their transformation, Ji Ruoying stepped on it repeatedly, his body was as fast as a ghost, shattering one by one 'glass covers', and his strength swam away, and those fragments scattered and flew in all directions, penetrating the limbs of the guests, and fell to the ground wailing continuously.
tomato
These people are not innocent.
At the same time, Ji Ruo also took out a large amount of clothing or cloth from his four-dimensional pocket, so that the 'slaves' could cover their bodies.
"Don't be afraid, it's all right, you're safe." Liang Shixian, who was dressed in King Kong armor, comforted him.
The freed 'slaves' showed no joy on their faces.
"Who are you! I dare to make trouble here, I'm impatient! β
Suddenly, a group of guards rushed out of the shadows and surrounded several people.
Of course, while besieging and killing, they are also rescuing those wailing guests.
Ji Ruo didn't take these people in his eyes, but he suddenly felt his body sink, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The next moment, dozens of magic chains attacked from all directions, and in Ji Ruo's sight, a large number of white line paths suddenly appeared.
Since the Eternal Truth and the Bull Horse Demon Dragon, Ji Ruo was in the Earth Mother Continent and triggered the [Glimmer of Intuition] for the third time.
This shows that if you don't dodge, you will be in danger.
