Chapter 279: Platinum City
Seeing this, the robbers' faces suddenly changed, and when they were about to retreat, several purple smoke had already burst out of the crystal vial, and they went straight into the skulls of the robbers, and the robbers suddenly fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive?
"You killed them all?" Yang Feng asked, opening the curtain.
"I said I wouldn't kill people on official roads, they just fell asleep for a while. Anne replied as she rummaged through the robbers, as she had been in the Hall of the Dead beneath Blackstone Castle. In a few moments, she had returned to the carriage with a dozen bags of money and goods.
"I only found some copper and silver nar, and I didn't exchange it for ten gold coins. Anne said to Yang Feng with regret.
"Is there any way to make money quickly?" asked Yang Feng.
"Yes, go mining, or ......," Anne stopped in the middle of her sentence, and it turned out that a sharp knife had been put to her neck, and the handle of the knife was being held by the coachman!
"What do you want to do?" Yang Feng shouted.
"Bounty, of course!" said the coachman, sneering.
"What bounty?" Yang Feng's sharp eyes stared at the coachman!
"Haha, I knew that she was the fugitive Miss Anne who His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Fire Empire was offering a reward of 2,000 jinnars for capture, and it would take me a few years to earn 2,000 jinnars!" the coachman sneered.
"Spare me, sir, and I'll give you three thousand kinnars!" begged Anne.
"The Emperor's bounty is real, I will get to the next town, and I will exchange you for money as long as I hand you over to the guards, who knows if your promise is reliable?" said the coachman, shaking his head.
"Can you take the knife away from her neck first?" Yang Feng said in a deep voice.
"Get out of the way, will you let go of your way to fortune so easily?" the coachman shouted at Yang Feng.
"Okay!" Yang Feng said a good word, suddenly made a move with his hand, and used a telepathic artifact skill, pulled out the knife in the coachman's hand, and then sent the knife forward, which happened to be sent into the coachman's body, the coachman rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw his grandmother!
"Fighting with a cultivator is just a small example!" Yang Feng kicked the coachman's body out of the carriage, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"You're going to kill him anyway......," Anne sighed.
"If you don't kill him, you may be the one who will be killed! You must not be merciful to treat bad people! He is just a coachman, and he even has the idea of a bounty, this kind of person does not die, it is simply unreasonable!" Yang Feng snorted.
"Alright, let's get out of here quickly, the carriage can't be sitting, we have to take the path, what was supposed to take half a day to get to Platinum City, now it will take another two days......" said Anne.
Two days later, Yang Feng and Anne, dressed in disguise, finally arrived in Platinum City, Yang Feng was dressed as a white-bearded old man, and Anne was dressed as an old woman, and the two swaggered towards the city gate.
Anne introduced to Yang Feng as she walked: "This platinum city is the capital of the Principality of Askar, with a population of 100,000, and is the largest city on the eastern border of the Holy Fire Empire.
"What is a slave?" Yang Feng wondered.
"Slaves are those who have committed crimes, or the families of prisoners, and the enemy captives captured in the war, and those who can't pay their debts and voluntarily become slaves, the empire has strict rules for the definition of slaves, but in recent years, many innocent people or innocent civilians have often been sold as slaves, and witch hunters often sell the hunted gods to the slave market who do not believe in demon gods......" Anne said this, and her tone became angry.
"Prisoners are treated as slaves because they have committed crimes, but it is too unreasonable to treat good people as slaves!"
"Alright, let's hurry into town, or we'll miss the museum's opening hours!" said Anne.
"Good. Yang Feng nodded, blending in the crowd and entering the city gate cave.
In addition to the guards of the Principality of Aska near the city gate, there are also soldiers of the Holy Fire Empire wearing iron armor, and these soldiers have sharp eyes, obviously checking some important fugitives!
Yang Feng understood that he and Anne were the targets of these soldiers' interrogation! Even if there were no flaws in his and Annie's disguises, they successfully passed the soldiers' interrogation.
The two of them walked about half a mile along a street paved with painted bricks, and Anne pointed to a street on the left, "It's the free market, do you want to see it, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Feng nodded and said, "Go and see, I really want to see how slaves are sold!"
Turning the corner, a small square appeared, and many vendors were shouting at pedestrians to sell their wares, everything from food to farm tools and weapons and armor of the city soldiers. In the center of the square, there is a wooden platform more than one person high, and there are many iron cages on the wooden platform, and the iron cages hold wild beasts such as lions, tigers, bears, and pix, as well as pigs, sheep, deer and other animals.
What stunned Yang Feng was that in the dozen or so station cages next to the pig and sheep cages, there were clearly people! There were men and women, old and young, all of whom were described as haggard and had disheveled hair, and they looked very pitiful!
Yang Feng only felt that his hair was pointing up: "This is too unreasonable, it is actually sold like an animal!"
Anne said: "This is also something that cannot be helped, it is the system of the Holy Fire Empire that has lasted for thousands of years, and no one dares to oppose it......"
Yang Feng also felt that this matter was not something he could manage, after all, it was a rule set by the Supreme Law that a cultivator should not ask about the affairs of the worldly kingdom, and it was already miserable for him to change from a qi refiner to a cultivator, if he was punished for violating the supreme law and became a mortal who didn't even have a little foundation in cultivation, then he would really be wronged.
Yang Feng shook his head, intending to flash with Anne, but at this moment, his feet suddenly seemed to take root, and he couldn't move anymore!
He was less than ten paces away from the cage, and although the man in the cage had his face covered by his hair scattered, he could see the eyes clearly!
"Second Senior Sister!" he almost screamed, but he still controlled his emotions and didn't shout. He steadied himself and looked at it carefully, and was even more sure that his judgment was correct!
So he turned to look at Anne and said, "I want to buy a slave!"
