The place Jin Naer took Zhou Hua to was the...slave market in Lionheart City.
At first Zhou Hua thought that the young lady came to rescue the slaves imprisoned in iron cages, but the facts were beyond his expectations.
Jin Naer is the owner of this slave market!
"Don't be too surprised. Kindness alone can't save these poor people."
With Zhou Hua's help, Jin Naer entered the slave market in Lionheart City.
There are no slums in Lionheart City. The decoration of this slave market is very luxurious. From the surface, it doesn’t look like a place selling slaves at all, but rather a place selling high-end goods such as pearls, gemstones, and magic props.
Slaves also have qualities. Low-quality slaves can only be used to do groceries, but high-end slaves can do many things. In addition to warming beds and fighting... some are provided to alchemists for drug experiments.
Slavery had been entrenched in the Far South for nearly two hundred years, enough time for the market to diversify.
Jin Naer operates in such a high-end market.
At this moment, Lu Cheng seemed to hear Zhou Hua's heartbreaking sound even through the screen. He might be fantasizing about having a pure love encounter with this naive young lady.
But this young lady was far more sinister and cunning than Zhou Hua had imagined.
"The Far South didn't allow slaves to have their own identities, it was illegal... What I used to do was buy out a slave caravan, give them some food and let them flee abroad."
Jin Na'er looked at the slaves locked in iron cages around her. In Zhou Hua's eyes, they were more like canaries, because Jin Na'er was running a high-end slave market.
So here you can't smell the strange stench that is common in slave markets, and the air is filled with a strange incense.
The whole place looked very tidy. Although the iron cages were particularly glaring in Zhou Hua's eyes, the slaves in the cages seemed to be living quite well, except for their lack of freedom.
"Guess what happened to those slaves?" Jin Na'er noticed Zhou Hua's looking around, so she took the initiative to ask Zhou Hua.
"I don't know." Zhou Hua shook his head and said.
The character he plays is a dull spellcaster. It is not easy for him to get the new position of Earl Lionheart because he is too smart. Zhou Hua's acting is excellent, and even the cunning young lady around him believes it.
"They are all dead." Jin Naer's voice was free of any sadness. "They don't have the ability to survive abroad, nor do they have the ability to live freely. Even if they go to other countries, they will die for various reasons. Because they have no ability, they choose to steal, and are killed by local sheriffs. They are caught and sold by merchants from other countries. Only a very small number of them can survive, but their endings are all tragic."
“This is a cannibalistic world.”
For some reason, Mr. Lu Xun's words emerged in Zhou Hua's mind. The world is still in the Middle Ages. Things like civilization and human rights do not exist at all. The only way to survive is to make yourself stronger.
"A world of cannibalism. I like your words that occasionally make me realize a lot." Jin Naer covered her mouth and chuckled. "That's right. Even if I bought them and gave them freedom, I was just putting them in a more cruel world. So I started teaching these slaves some skills, at least to give them the ability to resist before being 'eaten'. Magic, reading and writing, or swordsmanship are all fine."
Zhou Hua didn't know how to answer at this moment. As an avid martial arts fan who was familiar with the works of masters Jin Yong and Gu Long, the first words that popped into Zhou Hua's mind were "It's all this world's fault."
"But I know this method has little effect." Jin Naer looked at the slaves leaning against the cage, staring at her with fear or expectation. She turned her head to look at Zhou Hua and asked, "Do you know how many slaves there are in Yuannan?"
Zhou Hua shook his head again. This was information he really didn't know. The survey team estimated the total population of Far South, and slaves were included in the total population.
"The conservative estimate is three million... and I only have a thousand people here. I can't save everyone." Jin Naer said, "Unless you change this country, or should I say the world."

Girl, can you please send them all to Skarre
As Lu Cheng listened to the conversation between Zhou Hua and Jin Naer, he actually felt a little anxious.
The new world has arrived and is still waving at you! Didn’t Captain Sina have a heart-to-heart talk with this girl before leaving
But Lu Cheng sighed slightly when he thought of this. Captain Sina sent 20,000 immigrants to Skarre this time. Even if Mela's political tactics were superb, it would take a very long time to swallow all these immigrants at once and "digest" them into Skarre's citizens.
If it weren't for the peacekeeping team sent by the Chinese Empire to maintain order there, the order of the entire Skare would probably collapse because of these foreign immigrants.
Fortunately, although there have been one or two serious cases in Scarre, the cases were quickly solved with the help of the Crystal Spirit, and the country's development is gradually getting back on track.
"This woman is more powerful than I thought." Nancy expressed her thoughts in a low voice.
At first, she also thought that Jin Na'er was a spoiled young lady like Charlotte, but after listening to Jin Na'er's ideas, Nancy began to admire the ideas of this young lady.
Because the young lady's idea was just like hers, out of reach, just a fantasy, but when Nancy met the rabbits, the fantasy became reality, and Jin Naer's idea also became reality for the rabbits.
The system of the Celestial Empire at least will not reduce people to slavery-like domestic animals. No matter how "weak" one is, as long as he studies hard, he can at least ensure that he has a worry-free life.
But Jin Naer chose to realize her dream not by joining the rabbits, but by joining the group of little dragons.
"People from the Pure Sect have appeared." Charlotte had a mouthful of popcorn in her mouth and her words were a little unclear, but she still spoke out to remind Lu Cheng.
Finally, Lu Cheng saw the true appearance of the members of the Pure Sect for the first time. They also looked human, and their bodies and minds were shrouded in golden robes.
The material of the robe seemed to be fluorescent, emitting a dim luster in the darkness. The moment the leading member of the Pure Sect took off his hood...
Lu Cheng sprayed out the Coke in his mouth, and Elena next to him also kept the same action as Lu Cheng and coughed out the Wangzai milk in her mouth.
Nancy immediately hugged Noyi beside her and looked at Lu Cheng and Elena's extreme reactions in surprise.
"Sorry... cough cough." Lu Cheng found a tissue and quickly wiped the mess on his mouth. Because Lu Cheng was not sitting on the bed, he did not get anything dirty.
On the other hand, Elena even got her pajamas wet.
"Hello, you can call me Priest Lisa." The soft voice of the priest of the Pure Sect came from the laptop.
However, after Charlotte and Nancy saw the priest's appearance, they both looked at Elena.
"Is that your long-lost sister?" Charlotte asked immediately. She had learned a lot of Internet terms during this period.
"Maybe they are half-sisters." After Lu Cheng looked at the screen and confirmed it again, he was sure that the priestess Lisa's eyebrows were 90% similar to Elena's. She could basically be seen as a limited version of Elena's golden priest, with a legendary logo attached below.
