"Ah, it looks like a lot of interesting places...... Where are we going, Mina?" Linya was a little undecided.

"Miss, do you see it, there's the Moonlight Temple under construction over there. It's not getting early now, shall we go to the Temple of Moonlight and go home?" Namia carefully concealed the counsel in her words, tactfully reminding her, lest she be annoyed again.

Looking at Namia's pitiful face, Linya also felt as if she had a bit of a play. In fact, everyone is for their own good, although they don't agree with that kind of excessive care.

Ah, is it really my own fault?

Evan had already learned to be obedient, and he shrank his head for Linya to notice him.

"Moonlight Temple, my temple?" Linya followed Namia's direction, and there was a small hill along the river in the north of the Hedong District, where it was a busy scene.

The Temple of Moonlight under construction, a temple as tall and ornate as the Temple of Light in design. own temple.

Am I a god? Whenever I think about that, every time I think about being worshipped as a god, Linya still blushes.

"Oh, okay. It's good to check it out. Let's go home after reading it, it doesn't seem to be too early. Linya seemed to be talking to herself. Namia and Evan were finally relieved.

The hill doesn't look very tall, but it's a bit tall to climb. But since the daily running training this week, this kind of exercise has been difficult for Linya. Climbing to the top of the mountain, there is a busy scene in front of you, all the trees on the top of the hill have been cut down, workers are ramming the foundations, and the entire temple building area looks like it is several kilometers long.

"Miss, you see, the circular marble platform in the middle is the abutment of the future moon goddess statue, and this foundation has been dug ten meters deep! In the future, when the idol is completed, it will be more than thirty meters high, as tall as the statue of light! The body of the idol is built with light crystall, a specialty brought from the west coast, and it will definitely be beautiful at that time!" Namia fantasized excitedly.

"Hey...... In that case, how much would it cost? It's a waste......" Linya was a little embarrassed, she was still the kind of girl with a thin skin after all, and she always felt that it was too extravagant to build such a temple for herself. But the father and queen mother are obviously determined, and it is not easy for them to oppose their good intentions.

Moreover, even in order to make up for the trouble he broke into, he had to play the identity of this goddess all the time. If you give up, then the empire will lose hope.

"Miss, money is not important, it is worth it to let the people of the Red Leaf Empire bathe in the light of the great goddess!"

Namia took Linya's arm, and the two of them strolled casually around the construction site.

"Are those people so short, are they dwarves?" asked Linya, noticing the little ones.

"Yes, Miss. "Dwarves make not only a lot of clever little things, but also good armor, weapons, warships, ships, and the like, and they are also very talented in architecture. No large human structure could have been completed without the Dwarven Engineers.

However, Linya soon noticed a strange phenomenon, among these large number of workers, most of those who did the dirtiest and most tiring work were actually wearing hands and shackles!

"What's going on?" Linya couldn't help frowning, "How do you shackle the workers? Are they serving prisoners?"

"No, miss. These shackles were slaves. Namia quickly replied.

However, Linya immediately entered a petrified state, and Namia hurriedly explained: "Since His Majesty the Emperor wanted to build the temple as much as possible, and he really couldn't mobilize so many workers, he had to send some slaves to speed up the progress of the project. We understand that this is a sacred project and should not be defiled by these pagans, but ...... There's really no way around it, so please don't be angry, Miss!"

But that's not what Linya had in mind.

Slaves?slaves......

Even Xiao Yuan, who lives on the earth, will not be unfamiliar with this term. There used to be such a thing on Earth.

Linya had seen this word countless times when she was studying the history of the Violet Continent. From the time the Atlantans arrived on the continent of Grecia, slaves appeared. Something like free livestock, combined with a severe shortage of labor due to the underpopulation, made slaves an indispensable part of the life of the Violet people.

Aborigines, barbarians, pagans...... The Georgians, who had been taken prisoner of war or who did not want to convert, and the indigenous people who had been driven out of their homes by the colonizers, were reduced to enslaved slaves.

In fact, the slave trade has always been the most lucrative industry on the Violet Continent.

With the clear meaning of light......

In fact, isn't the so-called holy war a war waged for the plundering of wealth and slaves?

The so-called justice and faith are ridiculous.

Of course, Linya, a flower who has lived in a greenhouse since childhood, cannot come into contact with those things at the bottom of society. Although it wasn't her fault, Linya still felt an unspeakable sense of guilt in her heart.

Thinking of this, Linya felt extremely ashamed, and her face was as if she was being burned by fire.

The previous happy mood suddenly disappeared, and it became boring.

"Miss, please rest assured, Your Majesty said that all these slaves will be executed immediately after the completion of the project, and no one will know. ”

"What?" Linya was stunned again.

"Smack!" came a few crisp sounds, the sound of a whip hitting the flesh. A fallen slave was whipped hard by the overseer's whip, and several red marks immediately appeared. Linya saw the look in his eyes, which was filled with desperate anger.

Yes, just despair and anger.

"Hurry up, don't be lazy! you filthy fools!" a group of tall bodies were half-bent over and dragged up the sloping hillside with great difficulty.

"Hmm, who are they?" Linya saw that these people seemed to be very different, they were extremely tall, at least more than half taller than ordinary people, with two distinct fangs in their mouths, red bodies, long hairs on their bare skin, and large special iron cuffs on their hands and feet.

"Miss, they're all orcs...... They have a lot of strength and a short temper, so don't go near them, or you'll be in danger!" Namia whispered.

Orc ...... It was the first time Linya had seen an orc, but at the moment she didn't even have the slightest curiosity in her heart.

Linya's mood was already lost to the extreme, Namia saw Linya's depressed expression, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you okay?" Linya shook her head in frustration and said, "It's nothing, let's go back." ”

On the way back, Linya remained silent and did not say a word. Namia and Evan couldn't guess what was going on in her heart, and they didn't dare to say more.

"Get out of the way!" a group of cavalry and infantry ran down the street, and Namia hurriedly pulled the half-distracted Linya back to the side of the road.

It's a group of mercenaries dressed up. The mercenary is not a regular state or lord's army, but a kind of civilian military organization, that is, the kind of role that pays people to die.

The current mercenary cavalryman still had a man tied to his horse's tail, and he dragged it forward on the ground. The person who was dragged to the ground had his hands and feet tied tightly, his clothes had already been torn to tatters, his whole body was rubbed into a blur of flesh and blood, and the whole person seemed to have no strength to moan, and there were still bloody blood stains along the way, which was shocking.

Seeing the bloodstains, Linya felt dizzy in front of her eyes again, and a cool air swished upwards around her body. It's so cruel!

"Stop!" Linya couldn't contain the anger in her heart, and despite Namia's obstruction, she stepped out and shouted to the cavalryman, "What about you!

The mercenary cavalry turned around and saw the beautiful girl dressed strangely, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "You call me, is there something wrong? Look at you, you look like the lady-in-waiting of the temple, right?"

The mercenaries in the back also surrounded them. Namia and Evan also hurriedly followed behind Linya.

"What are you doing?" asked Linya, holding back the unspeakable anger in her heart.

"What didn't I do?" said the cavalryman, a little inexplicably. "yes, what's wrong with us?" the mercenaries all cheered.

"He's dying, don't you see?" The anger in Linya's heart was about to explode.

"Oh, Miss Handmaid, I think you may have misunderstood. This is a pagan slave who tried to escape, and we were asked by our employer to take him back and put him to death in this way as a warning to the slaves who tried to escape. The mercenary cavalry said lightly.

"Can slaves be killed so cruelly, do you still have any humanity?" cried Linya angrily. Namia hurriedly tried to grab the princess, but Linya angrily shook her hand away.

As the closest person to the princess, she naturally knows the character of this little princess. In such a situation, I am afraid that there is no way to persuade the angry princess.

"Ah, don't think that you are the maid of the temple and can talk so unscrupulously!" The mercenary cavalry was obviously very unhappy with Linya's tone, and said angrily: "Miss maid, don't you think that your love is a little overflowing? This is a slave, but he is not entitled to be treated by men!"

"Damn!" Linya's anger finally burst out completely, and her right arm was raised, turning the summoned ball of light into a lightning bolt and shooting it at the mercenary cavalryman.

The magic came so quickly that before the mercenary cavalry could react, he was hit by a lightning arrow in his body, his whole body was numb, and he flew more than ten meters away, and then slammed into the wall on the side of the street, fainting in pain.

"you!" exasperated Linya.
