Summer passes, autumn comes, winter solstice and spring return (2)

There are three major empires in the human continent.

The Kalbas Empire is fertile in soil and blessed with natural resources, both in military and people's livelihood is very superior, and it is also the most famous place of magic, the Kalbas Empire has the largest number of magicians in all mankind.

The Sharya Empire is an empire diametrically opposed to the Kalbas Empire, which is said to be one of the three empires of the human continent, but in fact, the Sharya Empire has been at war all year round, and no party has a strong enough force to dominate the whole territory to make Sharya one of the three empires in the true sense.

The Orn Empire is the most complex state, not only does it exist like the Holy See, but it also has cities such as Haikou City that governs itself alone, and the free city of Phoenix, which is located within the territory but is not owned by the Empire, and secondly, the Orn Empire has always used slavery.

It seems that the Orn Empire only takes a harsh attitude towards aliens, and not for humans who have risen to the rank of fellow humans, but this does not affect the existence of a large number of slaves in the country. Many people who can't help themselves will be reduced to slavery, poor families have to use this means to survive, unexpected encounters have to use this means to survive, but without exception, no one will want to become slaves.

Since there is a meaning for the existence of slaves, it means that there are people who need them, and there will be a market if there is demand. There are no noble and lowly people, but there are three, six, nine and so on, this sentence is still too euphemistic, some people are born nobler than ordinary people, because they are entrenched in the empire, and they are also the ones who established the empire, controlled the empire, commanded the empire, and they are collectively called nobles.

They were the greatest supply for slaves.

The nobles live in large mansions and high-rise buildings, they will need a housekeeper to manage their home affairs and some secret things for them, they will need maids to clean their homes and some night bed affairs, they will also need someone to solve some dirty things in their lives, the simplest disposal of household garbage, the lifting of goods, etc.

Of course, a certain part of the aristocracy will have special demands, and they need to add some excitement to their pampered and boring life, after all, it is against the laws of the empire to abuse and kill ordinary people.

Human beings are hypocritical and evil creatures, and everyone in the Orn Empire shouts "Alien mortals, expel aliens, protect human races", but when facing the slaves of the same human race, they will also play the same banner, as if the word "slave" can make others take off the identity of "human".

Doliva is a complete alien reject, he hates all aliens and the hybrids associated with them, humans are the builders of all civilizations, why should we build a future to share with you weird and ugly species?

However, he does not reject this with another layer of identity, and even likes it a little.

He was a slave trader.

Elves are a very special race, their appearance is the closest to humans, their life is extremely long, their flesh is rarely aged, coupled with their extremely outstanding appearance, they are deeply loved by some nobles, and they can experience supreme enjoyment when they are included in the room.

Human society is strong and weak, and elven society also has it, not every elf has strong strength, but it is undeniable that most of them have the strength corresponding to human high-level magicians, and the "inhuman realm" that is difficult for human magicians to reach is not the case for them.

In general, selling elves is a high-risk and high-reward job, and if you don't want to take this risk, how can you feed your hungry wallet?

Doliwa agrees with this.

Recently, the development of the slave business has not been smooth, and there are fewer and fewer good goods on hand, especially the elves, it is very difficult to kidnap their compatriots without being detected by these alien races, and they can only come into being and cannot be forced, because once they are discovered, it will only bring destruction to themselves and even the entire human continent.

If he commits such a catastrophe, not to mention how many nobles support him behind him, even if the entire royal family of the Orn Empire supports him, Doliwa will not escape death.

At this time, he was drinking in a tent, and there were many noises of pleading and scuffling outside, and the negative emotions affected the mellow aroma of the wine, and Doliva motioned to the two guards beside him.

Not long after the guards left, the noise faded away, and Doliva was finally able to continue tasting.

The tent was lifted again, and a tall man in armor walked in, and the man sat down next to Doliva and picked up the wine jug and drank a few sips to his mouth, before he said comfortably: "Boss, this harvest is still average, the children sold by people who have no money are always a little bit worse, they are as thin as a dry branch, and they are covered with a thin layer of dark yellow skin, and they will have to be raised for a few years, which is really boring." ”

Doliva is not annoyed by the man's drinking behavior, this tall man in armor is his own captain of the bodyguard, and the two have known each other since the beginning of the business and have been working together ever since. Pulling the goatee on his chin, Doliva thought, "Gog, what is this place?"

Captain of the Guard, Gog: "Boss, do you mean to ask whose territory this belongs to?"

Doliva: "Nonsense, it stands to reason that this place is also under the jurisdiction of Blackwater City, right?"

Captain of the Guard, Goge: "It's really hard to say, this happens to be the junction of the two lords' territories, and it's really unclear who occupies a little more land." ”

Doliva: "Can't tell the difference?" Then let's just be a good guy and help the lords distinguish clearly." ”

Gog watched Dolivar smile gradually: "I see, I see." ”

......

...

Selling yourself into slavery is not uncommon and is a common occurrence in the borderlands.

Usually the children were sold, brought by the adults of the family, and after the adults were evaluated, the adults received a sum of money, and the price was determined by the slave traders, and there was no possibility of negotiation.

Gog came out of the tent just in time to see his men dragging a beaten man with a bloody face, and the child brought by the man stood to the side with a blank face. It seems too absolute to say that there is no bargaining, as long as you can afford to pay the price, it doesn't hurt to get you back, provided you can withstand the fists of these guards.

And this kind of person who dares to return the price generally does not bring his own children.

Gog signaled to his subordinates, and some of the guards began to take away the children who had already paid for them, and the remaining guards drew their swords and began to drive all the remaining adults who had not yet sold the children together, shouting that struggling in front of the blade did not play any role, and the children who were about to sell themselves did not make a sound, and they were too frightened to react except for trembling all over.

One of the guards came up to Gog and asked, "Captain, is it the same this time?"

Captain of the Guard, Goge: "Well, as usual, but let them deal with it cleanly, don't leave the tail of the hand like last time, don't kill the dead hand, the monster doesn't use a sword, and finally leave a few corpses in the direction of Blackwater City, and we lords can only manage it if they are closer." ”

The guard nodded with a smile and replied, "Understood, captain, don't worry, this time you will definitely make everyone look good." ”

......

...

Anthony is a hard-working man, and even if the land harvest in a year is not optimistic, he is never pessimistic. Anthony has a happy family, a gentle and kind wife Amelly, and a lovely and lively son Michael, from the time he had them, Anthony vowed to let his wife and children live a comfortable and beautiful life one day.

Anthony was going to take a break after a morning of work, his wife was playing with Mike, playing hide-and-seek between two people on the field, and the man looked at the warm scene in front of him with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, there was a scream, and Amelly picked up her son and looked at her husband.

Anthony comforted his wife with gestures, signaled to the other party to take care of his son, and planned to investigate the situation himself, but after walking a few steps, he saw that in the village not far away, someone had fallen in a pool of blood, and a group of guards wearing armor and holding blades appeared.

Grey Earth Village is geographically located at the junction of the territories of Boulder and Blackwater, and it lacks attention at the border of the territory, let alone a controversial place, and at the same time, a poor and remote village does not contribute much to the lord's land, so it is often selectively ignored by the lords of the two cities.

Most of the villagers who were able to relocate had already left, and the remaining people had to survive on the barren land, or sell their children to slave traders for income, or even men and women cooperated to give birth to children and sell them to slave traders.

Today, this seemingly ordinary but special village welcomes a group of guests.

A vicious convoy.

Gog pointed at one of his dead men and scolded, "Fuck, didn't Lao Tzu tell you not to use your sword? Boys between the ages of five and twelve should be taken away, and women over the age of five should be taken away as long as they are not married. ”

"Captain. One of the guards pointed out, "There are three more over there." ”

Gao Ge saw a man and a woman standing in the field next to the village, the woman was still holding a child in her hand, looking like a family of three, and the other party was trying to escape. The captain of the guard cursed and made a gesture to wipe his subordinates' necks.

It is better to kill than to let go.

Anthony in the field had sensed that something was wrong, and he yelled at his wife, "Amelie, run away with Mike, quick!"

Ameli panicked: "What about you, what are you going to do?"

Anthony was sweating profusely, and he picked up his hoe to try to calm his voice enough: "Don't worry, I'll catch up with you, Mike will ask you." ”

Amelly wanted to point out the inconsistencies in her husband's words, but there was no time to hesitate, she couldn't spend the only time she had on useless crying and arguing, so Amelly picked up Mike and ran.

The last thing Mike saw in his eyes on his mother's shoulder, his father's not too tall but imposing back, and the armored man who was getting closer and closer next to his father.

......

...

From an early age, Mike was strictly forbidden by his parents to enter the woods around the village, saying that it was very dangerous and not a place for children to play. It was the first time in nearly nine years since Mike had been born in the woods, and there was a smell of nature, so quiet that he could hear nothing but his mother's rapid panting.

Amelly took advantage of the gap between breaths and said, "Mike, ha, can you lower your head?"

She could already feel the sound of chasing her behind her, what had happened to her husband, Amelly knew in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it now, and she couldn't think about it.

The obedient and well-behaved Mike buried his little head in his mother's neck, he didn't understand what was going on, why his father wasn't with them, why his mother kept running, why someone was chasing after him, why he couldn't watch himself.

All he knew was that he had to be obedient now.

After a while, the sound of the sharp wind blowing, "tuk tuk", three strange sounds sounded, and the mother's speed began to slow down until it stopped. Mike thought he had reached the end, and just as he was about to open his eyes, a warm palm came up to him.

"Close your eyes, Mike. Amelly said in a trembling voice, "My good Mike, obediently close your eyes." ”

The image between his fingers was his mother's shaky smile, and Mike obediently closed his eyes.

"Oh, Mike, Mike, Mike......"

The mother called her name over and over again.

"Live well, Mike. ”

It was the last time I heard my mother's voice.

There was nothing in front of him, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Mike closed his eyes.

The conversation between two unfamiliar voices rang out.

"Done?"

"That's it. ”

"Damn it, let's get us in trouble, take the child away. ”

Lightening up, Mike felt himself being pushed against his shoulder, his eyes closed.

There are more and more voices, all kinds of adult conversations.

"Are you all together......

"The monster is ready......

"The children are all put on the car cage......"

There was also the sound of some kind of beast biting.

Mike closed his eyes.

Being thrown rudely into the car, you can clearly feel that there are people around you, and there is a frightening atmosphere.

Mike closed his eyes.

After a long time, Mike and the others were driven down, and he heard the sound of the iron door opening.

Mike closed his eyes.

He listened to his mother and never opened his eyes.

He kept his eyes closed, he kept his eyes closed, no matter what he touched, or what touched him, no matter what conversations there were around him, he didn't disobey his mother's words.

Mike has always been an obedient child.

Obedient to the point that even though he was extremely scared, he still didn't open his eyes.

Until a gentle and kind voice sounded overhead.

"Kid, are you okay?"

It was a reassuring tone in contrast to the cold around him, and Mike finally opened his eyes, and he immediately closed them when he was about to see something.

"It's okay child, you're safe, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. ”

Mike closed his eyes harder.

The owner of the voice did not leave, she kept watching, and then Mike felt a large warm hand fall on his head, caressing it down and down, just like his mother used to smile and caress herself.

Mike opened a slight slit in his eyes, and a delicate woman was humming a song and looking at him with a smile.

"Hello boy, don't be afraid, can you tell me your name?"

The woman didn't get an answer, Mike lowered his head, he saw where he was, it was a cage-like place, and there were many children his age around, Mike felt that this damp and dark space was terrifyingly cold, and he couldn't control his trembling body.

Knock knock.

One of the guards struck the cage with a wooden stick: "What's the matter, this kid is dumb? This kid was the quietest all the way, and he didn't scream." ”

"I don't know, Mr. Guard. ”

The woman was very respectful, and she stood up and bowed to the guards in reply.

Guard: "Tsk, then it's okay with the rest, this kid will be left for later, the boss told you to go to him." ”

The woman bowed again, smiling and winking at Mike before leaving.

This small move made him relax a lot.

......

...

Doliva was sorting through the slaves' ledgers, and this time he had bought them from a border village and captured a total of twenty-seven children, twelve boys, and fifteen girls, and as Gog said, the quality of the children of poor families was indeed not good, and the thin appearance was not pleasing at first glance, and only a few looked good. In addition to the appearance factor, the most popular slaves among the nobles of Blackwater City are between eight and twelve years old, and the girls are thirteen years old and upward, virgins are the best, and many of the twenty-seven children they got this time still need to be raised for a period of time, and when they are old enough and look better, they can be sold, but there are a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls who have a good foundation, and they can be sold after three or five months of eating and sleeping, and it is not in vain.

Gog opened the door and walked in, giving Doliva a brief report on the outcome of the Dirt Village. This time, Doliwa was quite satisfied, except for three or four villagers who were killed by the guards, the rest were driven by the guards to flee in the direction of Blackwater City, and a few snakes and dogs were released along the way to hunt and kill them, this kind of monster likes to eat hunting.

As long as you create enough illusions to make others think that the monsters invaded the village and caused all the villagers to die in the mouths of snakes and dogs, people will only investigate the whereabouts of the ogre monsters, plus the place where the villagers died is closer to Blackwater City, and after telling yourself, the lord will naturally take care of one or two, so that no one will dig into why there is no one on the scene to investigate why there is no one on the scene of the child's body.

The door opened again, and a woman walked in, the same one who had just been in the cage to pacify Mike.

Gao Ge smiled knowingly, after reporting the information, he didn't stay here to drink as usual, what did his boss want to do, Gao Ge knew that they were all men. So he left with a sense of humor, and when he opened the door, he didn't forget to touch the woman's buttocks.

Doliva scolded: "Stinky boy, you are getting more and more bold, and you dare to touch even my things." ”

There was no trace of anger on his expression, but a bit of playful pleasure.

Doliva leaned back in the soft chair: "What are you waiting for?"

The woman began to silently strip her clothes.

Doliva quietly enjoyed the wonderful image before him, and he licked his lips. When the last garment fell from her body, the woman stood naked in front of Doliva, her face expressionless to accept the man's unobstructed gaze.

Doliva unbuttoned his pants and said, "Come on, sit down and move yourself, I have other work to solve." ”

The woman walked over, and it wasn't long before muffled moans began to be heard in the room.
