Chapter 015: Slavery of All Evils
Buying slaves?
This answer was clearly beyond Mrs. Vito's expectations.
There was no movement in the carriage, and it started again, moving forward.
When Mrs. Vito was gone, the butler came up and introduced Ludon to the familiar slave market.
Due to the late entry into the Divine State, the big slave markets have already closed, and if Ludon wants to be an evil slave owner, he can only wait for the next day.
That night, he stayed with the butler and others, and as a guest of honor, Ludon was given a private room.
The next day,
Before the red sun came out, Ludon woke up.
He slept well, and as soon as he woke up, he immediately threw himself into the day's work, thinking about how to exploit better... No, better to provide good fortune!
After asking the butler for directions, and taking all his net worth and identity tag, Ludon walked to the nearest slave market.
Therefore, it was not yet dawn, and people outside the city could not enter the kingdom of God.
From time to time, the guards on the road will check the identity tags of passers-by to determine whether they are qualified to live in the state of God.
Some lucky guys will take advantage of the night, hide in dark corners, stay up until the sun comes out the next day, and then appear on the streets.
Too bad!
As a fresh face, Ludon was basically checked by the guards every time.
On his identity wooden plate, he was marked by a middle-aged scholar, which is considered an official certification.
After the guards finished the inspection, they all apologized to Luden.
In their eyes, it was a great sin to doubt such a noble gentleman.
Putting away the identity card, Ludon didn't take a few steps when he heard the sound of punching and kicking behind him.
He glanced back.
The guards caught a slippery guy, a quirky boy who wanted to hide in the Divine State for the night, so that he could earn 1 or 2 more cloud hours and save money on accommodation outside the city.
He almost made it!
Fortunately, the guards showed up in time, administered justice, and brought the culprits to justice.
Ludon withdrew his gaze and continued down the wide street, humming an unknown tune.
...
South of the city, slave market.
"Luden S. Y. WeGood? ”
After checking the identity card, the boss was very attentive, kicked his subordinates who were resting against the wall, and whipped them casually.
"Get up, the sun is hot, lazy, do you raise such a waste for 20 meters a month!"
The dazed steward, after standing up, quickly changed into a smiling face,
"Sir, you are the first guest of the day, please come in!"
Ordinary citizens, even if they are eligible to buy slaves, have no right to keep them in the city of God.
Fortunately, Ludon can.
The slaves were kept in wooden cages, unkempt, with a hemp rope tied to their hands, which connected the entire cage of slaves.
If a slave escapes, the entire slave on the hemp rope will be punished.
This is also the best interpretation of the proverb handed down from the Qiyun Kingdom: "Ants on a Rope".
The slaves in the wooden cages were all dirty and smelly, and the stewards who led the way in front were unbearable, covering their noses and cursing in low voices.
Human beings, like commodities, are placed in front of Luden's eyes, at his disposal.
By naming the most barbaric acts as civilized, you can wash away the blood of your hands and hide the sins of your heart.
Damn slavery, Lutdon hates it.
If there was no slavery, these wooden cages would be the best laborers.
After eating the last meal and not the next meal, they will work hard for tomorrow's black bread and create enough blessings...
Retracting his thoughts, Ludon's gaze swept back and forth between the cages, surveying the slaves.
Because it was early in the morning, most of the slaves were still sleeping, and even the few who were awake were just sitting on the ground in a daze.
They spent the night in the Divine State last night, without spending a penny, and without being beaten by the guards...
But there was no joy in their dull eyes.
There is just endless numbness and despair.
The wooden cage that the steward led Lu Deng around was very regular.
It's mostly old people, children, ugly women...
To put it bluntly, they are all difficult guys, and if they are not careful, they will be smashed in their hands, and they will have to make bad debt accruals.
It is precisely because of this that he takes Ludon back and forth.
In case all the way to the road is in a good mood, buy two, and make a lot of money!
This is also the usual routine of the slave market, the first goods, always the worst.
The people who came to the slave market early in the morning knew all too well!
Either a poor bastard with a few misos in his pocket, or a dirty person with some quirks who doesn't want to make it public, or a miser who picks and searches and doesn't want to bid with others.
As for the really valuable slaves:
Those capable young men, powerful women, chicks with a bit of possibility... It's close to noon before it will be shown.
At that time, it was also the time when the slave market had the greatest foot traffic, and the volume and transaction price were at their peak.
Also known as: volume and price fly together.
These in-demand items have just hit the shelves and will soon be sold out.
Of course, many of the buyers were the childcare of slave owners, who were responsible for driving up prices and creating the illusion of prosperity.
Once a slave is photographed, they will happily pay and leave with the slave.
When night falls, these people will transport the slaves back in a chariot covered with black cloth, and the money for the slaves will be returned, and the money for the slave trade will be divided into thirty or seventy...
This kind of simple scam, someone will always fall for it.
No open bidding venue is immune to the emergence of 'childcare'.
Even if a person repeatedly emphasizes that he is not a 'childcare',
If he says the same thing as childcare, does the same thing as childcare, and achieves the same effect as childcare....
It's not childcare, and what is it?
Is it a duck?
Because Lu Deng came early, the official childcare had not yet worked, and he was the only customer in the deserted slave market.
Ludon looked at a few cages, but he wasn't quite satisfied.
The steward really can't fool around, so he is ready to show him something good-looking, and at the same time signal the nursery to get ready to work!
This guy in front of him has a very raw face, walks heavily, and has at least 1000 meters on his body!
A fat sheep from other places, this is not a grudge, what is it?
Luden, who was about to walk forward, suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on a child.
This child, with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, does not look big, six or seven years old.
The hemp rope in his hand was untied and tied to his feet, so that he could lean forward and lie on the edge of the cage and look at the sky as if he were looking at the stars.
The child has eyes as rich as oil, and they look very pleasant.
Ludon crouched down, looked at the child, and asked softly,
"What are you doing?"
The child withdrew his gaze and looked at Luden, his big eyes full of confusion, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
After looking at Ludon for a few seconds, the child finally opened his mouth.
He didn't speak.
He spat at Ludon in the face,
"Phew!"
