"Things have been messing up in the port lately."

"The prophet said that because of the persecution of the Church of Dawn and the Church of Light, many transcendents outside have come to us for refuge, and they do not follow our rules."

"I know the prophet said it was law and order."

"That's right! It's just that the law and order has deteriorated! What is policing? ”

"I don't know, it's not good anyway."

Outside the monastery, near the seaside reef beach, a few little nuns who were doing odd jobs gathered to clean the toilet and kept talking about the events of the past few days.

Flushing toilets need to be placed in the toilets, except for the castle in Oak City, which has this kind of thing, and the rest of the bathrooms are only available in the VIP room.

The toilet is still insufficient, and most people just find a jar urinal to solve the problem.

After washing the toilet in the seawater a few times perfunctorily, several girls who were doing chores squatted together and chatted even more perfunctorily, no longer working in their hands.

After more than ten minutes, a nun dressed in a white nun's dress walked briskly from a distance.

"Lana! Come out with me! Go to town and move things! ”

When Lana heard this, she immediately felt very touched, and craned her neck and shouted, "Let's go again in the afternoon, it's almost noon now." ”

"It's only ten o'clock! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! The nun yelled at Lana, "If you think about being lazy again, I'm going to beat you!" ”

Lana is honest now, and she doesn't dare to say anything more about prevarication.

The nun didn't just take Lana, there were three nuns besides Lana, and there was a car pulling goods next to the nun.

It wasn't the nun who was in charge of leading the team, it was Ulla, the tavern owner who came to help.

Ms. Ulla is in her thirties, and it's not uncommon for her to be a grandmother in the Frozen Lands.

In short, it's an old woman.

Despite rebuilding a solid family, Ulla also felt the passing of time and shifted her focus from the tavern to the monastery, where she often came to pray and do things for the monastery.

Everyone knew that Lady Ulla was thinking of giving up the tavern in a few years and going to the convent for the rest of her life.

The tavern is open from morning to night, even at night, for a year, and Ullah may not be used to it.

Led by Ulla, the nuns quickly pushed the cart towards the port of the ferry.

Lana looked at the cart pulled by the adults, and although she wanted to sit on it, reason and experience told her that she would be beaten up this way.

The old nun beside Lana looked at Lana in ink and rebuked: "You are always lazy in your work, and you have to drag on for an hour or two every time you can do what you can do in ten minutes, and you are not at all religious to the prophet and God, if it weren't for the merciful prophet who forgave you for the honor left by your parents, he would have sold you a long time ago!" ”

Lana is a person who has been beaten since she was a child, she has been beaten by her parents, and she has also been beaten by the nuns of the convent, and she listens honestly to the reprimand at this time.

The old nun would certainly not shut up after saying a word, and the more she talked, the more angry she became.

"You do not understand the mercy of the prophet at all, and it is rare that a slave like you, who can eat and is lazy, can live to the age of thirteen without getting rid of the disease of laziness and laziness, and that his hands and feet and head are intact."

"In the aristocratic homes outside, slaves like you, who are disrespectful to their masters and spend their days messing around, have long been sold to the poor, or have been put to death."

Lana listened honestly, she had heard this kind of thing many times.

Because she was a slave of the Prophet, and her father was shot to death by the Earth Storm, Lana Ann is alive and well to this day, and she can continue to live like this.

The convent would take care of the food, except for the nuns who had become accustomed to her would occasionally reprimand and punish her, and people from outside could not enter, and life was so peaceful and idle.

Literacy doesn't work at all, it won't just won't, the nuns can't get her to help with copying, and she's clumsy enough to break books and precious things, so gradually she doesn't care about this Kur who can only do odd jobs.

There aren't many Kurs left in the territory, maybe less than ten.

When the Kurs attacked the town of Bhumisius, most of the men were killed, leaving only some of the young women.

Later, in order to deal with the Vakiri, several more Kurs were discovered when they reoccupied the village of Dum.

In the past few years, the Kurs have become even more unpresence, and Lana has no consciousness of being a Kur, except for saying that she is a Kur, she usually follows the rules of the Star People.

The Kurs have no traditions at all, let alone history and civilization to remember.

The old nun chattered to Lana for ten minutes before it fell silent until she was almost in the center of town.

At this time, Ulla said: "We go to the docks, and yesterday a slave trader came and is now waiting at the docks. ”

Lana was shocked, her hands and feet became cold, and even her stomach became cold.

Ula looked amused when she saw Lana's frightened look.

"I won't sell you, you are a slave of the prophet, who would dare to sell you."

Lana suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and almost cried.

The nuns next to her also laughed, and said some vicious words that threatened the girl.

Lana doesn't want to be sold, whether it's sold to someone else's house to work, or sold to someone else to be a wife.

When you get married, you have to work, you have to work at home all day and night, and you don't eat as much as you do in the monastery.

Lana wants to stay in the monastery for the rest of her life, eating and sleeping on time every day.

There has always been a lot of people near the port of Ferry Port, because of the recent arrival of many refugees and smugglers from foreign countries, and the increase in patrols on the coast.

Lana and the others were courteously and respectfully greeted by passers-by along the way, and the shops on the side of the road began to prepare the goods they needed, which they could take directly back to the monastery when they returned.

Soon several people came to the dock area where the stevedores were working.

In the dock area of the port stood a wooden pole from which the body of a murderer was hung.

The nuns walked quickly past the pole, accustomed to this kind of thing.

From its establishment to the present, the Land of Stars has been at war almost every year.

In the years before it was established, it was even more flailing, and both adults and children were used to this kind of thing.

The death of a few hundred people and a few thousand people is nothing at all for the current country of stars, even if it is the elite of Dum Port and Bhumixiu Town who die, it will not hinder the cohesion of the whole.

When someone dies, the vacancy is quickly filled.

The nuns of distinguished status soon arrived at the grocery market at the docks, which was divided into several areas.

There are places where vegetables and fish are sold, and there are also places where people barter, or livestock, cattle and sheep, or refugees looking for work.

The slave trade is a high-end trade, and the country of stars prohibits the slave trade, because all people are Lawrence's slaves and are not allowed to be sold.

But the purchase of slaves has been a tradition in the Land of Stars since ancient times.

A significant portion of the population of the Kingdom of Stars was bought through trade, and these people were an important source and supplement to the initial population.

Lawrence's slaves were not allowed to buy slaves, and the Abbey was eligible to buy slaves on a regular basis because it was an institution that provided Lawrence with quality talent.

Ulla and the nuns walked towards the area where the slave traders were located, and soon stopped in front of a concrete floor where dozens of people were sitting.

The slaves here are mostly women, and there are strong male slaves, but there are only three.

The price of slaves was not low, especially the price of male slaves was higher than that of cattle and sheep, and some of them were about the same as the domes in the prime of life.

Good and healthy male slaves were able to do a lot of physical work, were more docile than cattle, ate less, and did more.

In particular, farms and workshops need slaves who can do heavy work, and female slaves are not qualified for some jobs because of their strength, and many people can do the rest of the work that does not require strength, resulting in much lower prices.

Lana is not young, but there are still many things she doesn't understand at this time, and no one tells her anything.

The sordid slave trade soon began, and cries were heard in the neighborhood, some of whom could not survive and voluntarily sold themselves, while others who could not survive and became slaves with their children who could not be abandoned.

It also functions as a vegetable market, so just like on a farm and a vegetable market, selling the lamb in front of the ewe, no matter how much the woman cries, does not inspire the pity of the other group.

Fortunately, this is a region that has been contaminated by civilization, and Ulla itself does not want to spend more money, this time mainly to buy some slaves for the monastery to do chores, mainly girls and girls who are easy to discipline, and do not want adults.

However, the benevolent prophet stipulated that if you buy a girl, you must buy a mother, that is, if you buy a child, it is better to keep the child's family with you.

Ulla doesn't want to buy older women, most of whom turn into thieves or do stupid things and don't take the initiative to learn the language.

So this time Ulla didn't buy the slaves who had their families in tow, and even though the people looked at her with pleading eyes, Ulla didn't buy them.

Ulla carefully selected through the crowd, and the slaves sat together with their knees crossed, looking up at the well-dressed nuns.

Before coming here, the slave traders had already given them a good impression in order to better manage the slaves, but these people did not know some of the screening conditions inside the monastery because of the intelligence.

So after seeing these nuns, some of these slaves were very excited, hoping to be bought and living a good life, and some of them did not want to be sold this place.

Ulla had been a slave before, and had lived in a slave house for a long time, and it was clear that the crying slaves were untrained and not willing to be slaves.

This part of the population is very difficult to discipline.

This experienced woman was quickly sifted through a group of emaciated slaves.

She walked up to a young girl, held the girl's chin with one hand, pinched the girl's cheek to make her open her mouth, checked her teeth and tongue, and reached out to open the girl's thin linen coat a little, and looked at her neck and chest.

It's like picking out merchandise for your owner.

This qualified feudal woman was working with all her heart and soul for her master, whose benevolent master had dragged her from the backward and ignorant primitive slave era into the feudal age.

Her heart was full of gratitude, and she also thought that everyone should be like her, or slightly worse than her, and be loyal to the great master together.

While Ulla and the nuns were working hard, fulfilling their duties, and putting their loyalty into action, the girl next to her, who was not loyal and was only satisfied with the status quo for a bite to eat, was a little idle.

Lana didn't want to see Ula and the others picking slaves, so she looked around and quickly left the place quietly.

There are many interesting places on the street, and there are also many shops selling delicious food, so you won't get tired of watching it for a day.

In the past, you could come and go as you pleased, but since several years ago, you have not been able to leave the monastery, and you will not be allowed to go out if you have nothing to do.

Lana quickly forgot about the old nun's side and walked to the liveliest food street.

There are pancake houses, bread houses, and wine and meat.

Lana looked at the little kid eating pancakes on the road, wiped her saliva, and touched her pocket.

There were only a few gravel and nut shells in the pocket, not a single copper plate.

Lana was very poor, and no one gave her money, and the happiest time of the year was when she could get some snacks at night, or when the Prophet gave a feast, there would be plenty of delicious leftovers to eat.

Lana sighed, touched her belly, and planned to go back to dinner.

If you go back now, you'll definitely be able to catch up with dinner.

"Today I have brown bread and vegetable soup at noon, and I can eat fried rice in the afternoon."

Lana was happy, and the fried rice was made with lard, which was delicious and everyone liked it.

Lana, who had walked to the harbor again, quickly approached the slave market, and was relieved to see that the nun and Ulla were still picking slaves, and only then did she know that she was afraid.

Ulla didn't notice Lana's departure, but the old nun did, glaring at her viciously when Lana returned.

Lana kept her head down and didn't dare to speak.

The old nun turned her head and continued to stand beside Ulla and watched, ignoring the little nun who had already returned.

While Ulla was picking slaves, a dog barked in the distance, and many soldiers ran towards the Winged Harbor.

In the boring life, there were suddenly waves.

"I'll take a look!" Lana quickly shouted and ran over as well.

Ulla looked up into the distance, and there was nothing on the sea in front of him except merchant ships and cargo ships, and there was no island invasion, and it didn't look like there was trouble.

Soon Ulla continued to bust herself with her own business, just as she had been in the tavern with the attitude of ignoring the drunkards who had fought and quarreled, a steady woman who had seen the wind and waves.

On the other hand, Lana quickly squeezed a way through the crowd, she had eaten and drunk in the manor since she was a child, and her long-term work also gave her a solid body that could withstand beatings.

There is also the fact that the men around him found that it was a girl in a nun's dress pushing people, and subconsciously moved the position to her.

The women of the monastery had a high social status in the region, especially for many of the early serfs, as if they were the ones who governed them.

Lana squeezed to the front and found an ugly monster curled up beneath the levee that blocked the erosion of the sea.

The monster resembled a baby, or a withered fish, no bigger than a puppy, perhaps the size of a palm and a half.

The monster's body was propelled by waves of seawater, floating between the and the sea, and its ugly body was constantly crashing against the hard stone.

When Lana saw this, the big dog nearby barked in horror, as if he was afraid of the monster.

"Let's catch it and take a look!"

Wondering what it was, Lana slowly slid down the sloping embankment while the soldiers and guards waited for the priest to come, reaching out to support the back of the little monster in the water.

The monster didn't move, its body was still trying to curl up, and it could see its hands and feet.

Lana soon found that she could not climb up with one hand, and when she came down just now, she didn't think much about it, but when she looked at the high embankment, she turned her head to look at the dark waters of Pengbai below, and suddenly felt scared again.

Fortunately, she was wearing a nun's dress at this time, and the soldiers on the shore had no intention of letting the nun fall into the sea, and quickly lowered the ladder and rope to rescue her.

This dress has saved her more than once or twice. (End of chapter)
