1132, slave hunting
Ye Qingyu, under the leadership of Zhen Wanting, wandered around the entire village, and he learned that this village was called Kushan Village, which was one of the hundreds of black-haired dark people in Luoshenling, and was under the management of the central city of Luoshenling, and almost all the villagers were black-haired dark people......
The poverty and backwardness of Kushan Village made Ye Qingyu feel shocked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Almost most of the villagers live in thatched huts, and if they can occupy a stone cave, then the conditions are good, because they don't have to worry about rain and water leakage, block the door at night, and don't worry about dark beasts, snakes and insects sneaking in.
And the food is even less pitiful.
Most of the places in the dark realm are Gobi sand and gravel, and vegetation cannot be planted, only some areas that have been sheltered by the ancient martial arts emperors of the ancestors are better and can grow crops, but these places have been occupied by the guardian camp, and Luoshenling is one of them, which is also one of the reasons why so many black-haired dark people gather around the central city of Luoshenling, beyond this range of five hundred miles, that is, there is really no grass anymore, with the physique and physical strength of the black-haired dark people, there is no difference between entering that area and sending them to deathγ
In the guardian camp, Luoshenling is only a small stronghold, even in the entire prefecture, it can only be regarded as barely ranked in the top ten, and the dark realm is composed of hundreds of states similar to prefectures, which can imagine the status of Luoshenling.
But after all, this is the case, for the surrounding black-haired dark people, the central city of Luoshenling is like a paradise in a dream, there are various legends among the dark people, the central city is described as a dream land with no famine and no shortage of water, but unfortunately many of them will never have the opportunity to enter the central city in their lifetime.
The reason why the Darklanders are protected by Canterlot and allowed to live around Canterlot is because they can grow food here like industrious cattle, and even in harvest years, many Darklanders are starved to death, because more than ninety percent of the food they grow needs to be handed over to Canterlot for the defenders to squander.
For the dark people who live here, it is a luxury to be well fed.
Their greatest happiness is that they can wake up alive the next day after sleeping at night, and when they wake up, they can see the light of the day in the sky, and they can see that their relatives are still alive.
Survival is a cruel test for every black-haired dark folk all the time.
At night, the whole village is dark.
There was an air of dark despair everywhere.
"Why don't you light the lamp?" Ye Qingyu asked.
At this time, he had thoroughly mastered the language of the black-haired dark people, and it was not difficult to learn, and he had some commonalities with the mainstream language of the world and the writing of the era of gods and demons.
"Everyone went to bed very early at night, because they had to rest and recover ......their strength," Zhen Wanting accompanied Ye Qingyu, lowered her head and carefully explained: "And there is nothing to use to light a fire." β
"No lamp oil?" Ye Qingyu asked.
Zhen Wanting shook her head and said, "In the legends of adults, there is such a thing as lamp oil, but I have never seen it, no one in Kushan Village can afford lamp oil, it is something that only the nobles and lords in the central city can afford." β
"Firewood, dead branches, are there no of these?" Ye Qingyu asked again.
Zhen Wanting said: "Of course not, it's all food, and it can't be burned." β
What the?
Ye Qingyu was surprised.
Firewood and dead branches are all food? How can you eat this kind of thing?
The little girl explained, "Ordinary people, it is very good to be able to have dry grass to build a thatched house, most of the plants, even if they are dry, can also be ground powder, it is really hungry, and it can be eaten with boiling water, and it can also be ...... hungry."
After hearing this, Ye Qingyu was shocked in his heart.
He suddenly felt that the questions he had just asked this little girl were as stupid as the emperor who did not understand the suffering of the world asking the beggars who died on the side of the road because they had no food to eat did not eat meat.
Along the way, he saw new graves piled up on the edge of the village.
I saw an emaciated young man crying in the dark night because his mother was starving to death, a family of four huddled in a dark cave humbled for the last food, a desperate young mother holding in her arms a baby who had died of no milk or food, whispering as if her child was not dead, and her self-reproachful husband pulling his hair desperately......
Ye Qingyu's whole person felt shocked.
Even in the former Tianlong Ancient Realm, the life of the human race has never been miserable to this extent, after all, the Tianlong Ancient Realm is because of the decline of the realm, before the decline, the human race still lived well, and in the dark realm, it has lasted for I don't know how many years, and the lives of these alien dark people have been like this for generations.
The Guardian camp has gone too far.
Along the way, Ye Qingyu was carefully observing, the so-called black-haired dark people are actually not much different from the human race, except for the weak physique, the narrow meridians and the small dantian that cannot be cultivated, other things such as temperament, feelings and living habits, etc., are not much different from the human race in the world, it is hard to believe that these black-haired dark people are born in the dark realm world.
Heaven has the virtue of a good life.
No matter how harsh the environment, life species can be derived.
"Our Kushan Village is on the edge of the Central City, the poorest, in several large villages close to the Central City, it is said that there is a kind of magic electric lamp, which does not need lamp oil and fuel, only needs a wire, and can emit light, which is something invented by some sages......" Zhen Wanting said with infinite anticipation.
Lamp?
Wire?
The power of thunder and lightning?
"The sage you are talking about, is it a martial arts powerhouse?" Ye Qingyu asked casually curiously.
The little girl shook her head and said, "I heard from the adults, the sages of our clan are wise and erudite people who have truly mastered the secrets of heaven and earth, and they have unearthed many secrets from under the earth, which can change heaven and earth, but they are not warriors themselves, unlike the guards in the central city who can fly to the sky." β
When Ye Qingyu heard this, he became even more curious.
Digging out secrets from beneath the earth?
According to Eleven, Dizhou was once a fragment of a destroyed civilization called the earth, could it be that these black-haired sages of the dark people found the relics of that civilization in the earth, so they mastered some power that belonged to that civilization?
"If you have the chance, you should visit some of the Dark Sages. β
Ye Qingyu thought in his heart.
At this time, Zhen Wanting, who had been quiet, suddenly reflected a red firelight on her face, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her slender white face, and she looked straight into the distance.
Ye Qingyu followed his gaze.
But in the darkness about dozens of miles away in the distance, suddenly there were clusters of firelight, rising into the sky, which was extremely conspicuous and dazzling in the dark night, and the surrounding mountains, which were originally extremely dark, suddenly had a more demonic color.
"Ah, it must be a fire in Shili Village in front, how could it be...... Such a big fire ......" Zhen Wanting realized something for the first time, but the fire in the village has not happened before, but the fire should not spread to this extent.
Ye Qingyu stood on the edge of the mountain rock, and his divine sense was put away.
A hint of murderous intent appeared on his face.
At this time, the villagers of Kushan Village were obviously awakened by the fire in the distance, and ran out of the house to watch, and someone was shouting, as if they wanted to send someone to put out the fire......
At this moment, a black airship flew from the sky.
"That's the airship of the Canterlot Guardians. β
"The Guardian is here. β
"Are you here to put out the fire?"
"No, they're from the direction of Shili Village, where the fire just broke out......"
The crowd was talking.
Eleven in the stone hall in the distance also found out that something was wrong, and rushed over as soon as possible and appeared by Ye Qingyu's side.
In the air, the airship descended quickly.
Dozens of figures wearing silver armor landed first like streamers, and the first one shouted, "Where is the village chief of Kushan Village?"
In the confused and frightened looks of many villagers, the village chief Chen Sheng walked out with a smile, saluted respectfully, and said, "This lord...... The villain is, I don't know if the adult is coming, what do you do?"
"Gather the whole village immediately, my family wants to ask about something. "The leader of the armor is condescending and commanding.
Chen Sheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, the villain will do it immediately, I don't know what the adults want to ask?" The villain saw it before, there was a fire in Shili Village, and the adults came from there, I don't know what happened......
The voice did not fall.
Bang!
The leader of the armor soldier directly lifted Chen Sheng into a somersault, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, before he sneered: "If my family wants to ask something, you will know when the time comes, where is the turn of your lowly miscellaneous to ask, and if you dare to ask more, you will cut off your dog's head." β
Chen Sheng suddenly didn't dare to ask again, he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he had to hurriedly beat the assembly drum in the village and let the villagers gather.
"It's the sergeant of the patrol battalion in the central city of Luoshenling. Eleven lowered his voice and said in Ye Qingyu's ear.
Ye Qingyu nodded.
Just take a look at what these so-called guardians are, but as far as everything is concerned, these sergeants are fierce and vicious, not like good people, and they treat the black-haired dark people as casually as if they were animals, obviously arrogant and accustomed to it on weekdays.
Soon, more than 1,000 villagers from Kushan Village gathered in the square, and everyone was trembling with fear on their faces.
And the black airship also landed.
The black behemoth, in the night, like a bloodthirsty beast, made the helpless villagers shudder, and they all gathered together, huddled together in fear, with a frightened expression on their faces.
Zhen Wanting also cowered behind Ye Qingyu.
But in fact, at this time, these soldiers couldn't find out about the existence of Ye Qingyu and Eleven.
On the airship overtime, a pavement was lowered.
Faintly visible, there were black-haired dark people chained to iron ropes, imprisoned in iron cages, crying and struggling, like desperate beasts......
"Oh no, these guys, they're here to hunt slaves......" Eleven understood.
"Slave catcher?" Ye Qingyu looked at him.
Eleven hurriedly explained: "Some nobles in the guardian camp often secretly capture alien secret people and sell them as slaves, although they are not allowed by the laws of the camp, they cannot be prohibited, because there are huge benefits in this, and they are basically business...... The sergeants of these patrol battalions must be controlled by the nobles in the central city, they have just let go of burning Shili Village, and now they have come to catch the dark people of Kushan Village, they will definitely not leave a mouthful of life, after tonight, Kushan Village will become a place of death, the prime of life will be taken away as slaves, and the old and young will be all killed, and they will be fed to the war beasts in the army as blood food!"
