In the town of Belika outside the Misfortune, the Frost Elf who passed through the portal handed over a special box containing five kilograms of refined Orihacon to Prince Rost, and asked him to wait until the next batch of elves and dwarf slaves arrived. Then it was handed over to the person in charge of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce who was responsible for transportation. The entire box is made of special materials. There is a one-time method for opening the magic circle, which has been revealed to Closide in advance. If outsiders want to open the box, even magicians who are proficient in magic circles will spend a lot of time. If you want to use brute force to open it, then the opener will have to taste the taste of level 14 fire magic.
Witnessing the elf envoys leaving Rost was full of emotions. These silver-haired elves are all believers of the ancient god Yalin. Under the protection of a god, when other elves were driven out of their homes and arrested arbitrarily, they not only did not need to fear the humans on the mainland. They even enslave humans to become their servants. Thinking about the humans who had been sent to Bellica Fortress from the Free City in the name of "weapons and supplies" some time ago, Rost probably understood the fate of these humans.
. Nothing wrong. .s.
The same race but with completely opposite destinies, all because of the power brought by 'god'! If the Kingdom of Saxony could also have such power┉┉ In a certain mine in the Yanold Mountains, carts of screened ore are being transported on automatic rails. This rail that runs through magic does not require human or animal power. , saving a lot of time and improving mining efficiency. The mine carts that were gathered together were sent to the city of Ulduar through the portal at one time and were automatically converted into material energy by the summoning system. Then the empty mine carts returned to the mine caves and waited for a new batch of ore to be loaded onto the carts.
"Please follow me, Master Suzaku!" A dwarf foreman of the mine wearing a miner's hat guided Shumu Suzaku to inspect the situation of the mine. Or to be precise, inspecting the living conditions of the human slaves working here.
Shumu Suzaku nodded, followed by the Golden Saint El Cid and the Nordic God Fighter Czech Fried.
Three thousand humans came to the city of Ulduar at one time. Naturally, such a large-scale population movement cannot be hidden from everyone's eyes forever, especially some friends who have an excessive sense of justice. Yalin felt that rather than being discovered and exposed, which would cause a sharp drop in the favorability of these friends, it would be better to explain the situation directly. After all, he did not really want to enslave these people as slaves forever. In the future, Once the city of Ulduar survives the most difficult period, these humans will be gradually liberated into citizens. Since the concept of 'slavery' was completely contrary to the idea of a divine warrior, the Golden Saint was initially unable to accept it. However, Shumu Suzaku accepted it first. In Suzaku's view, since these people were 'bought' by Yalin. Then they should also work for a period of time without pay before being released from slavery as a reward for being freed. As long as enough food is given and these humans are not overly exploited, Shumu Suzaku temporarily forces them to work within their own acceptable range.
Because Shumu Suzaku changed his position, several golden saints also wavered. In the end, everyone decided to make an on-site inspection according to Yalin's suggestion.
They took the elevator to the lower working area. What struck their eyes was the large number of magic crystal searchlights that illuminated the originally dark mine as if it were daytime. The three of them looked down from above and there were people wearing work clothes and safety helmets everywhere in the mine. The human miners, the rock walls were covered with dark brown ore, and under the orders of the dwarf supervisor, these human miners worked honestly without any resistance.
"It looks pretty good." Shumu Zhuque looked at the railing, but the imaginary scene of whips flying and wailing didn't seem to appear.
"Of course ~ these guys were all malnourished when they were sent here. It is said that in the free city they all ate dry bread and moldy food that could no longer be sold, but what is supplied to them here is fresh. The food even includes meat, so these guys will naturally work hard." The dwarf supervisor wiped his beard and said with a rather proud tone: "The inefficient method of bloody squeezing has long been outdated. Use whips and candies at the same time. To achieve the highest efficiency.”
Each person can exchange for one day's food by digging a basket of ore every day. Each basket of ore that is exceeded can be used to get one point. One point can be used to exchange for extra food or medicine, clothing and other materials. And every time a basket is collected, If you collect 1,000 points, this person can get rid of his slave status and gain freedom.
According to calculations, the highest mining record is that a mercenary who once worked in a mine dug six boxes of ore in one day. However, this guy was so tired that he had to rest for the whole day. 2 of the 6 points were used in exchange for food 3 The order was exchanged for a bottle of spirits, and in the end the mercenary only had a few points left. So far, only one mercenary who is eager to escape from slavery has accumulated 34 points!
"This is not bad. In some respects, it is not considered slavery." Czech Fried nodded and was the first to agree. In the eyes of this Norse god warrior, as long as the work is completed, there will be food. Supply, slavery where you can get 'paid' for extra work is actually very easy.
"But is it too much for those children to have to work?" Elshid said, pointing to the little boy who was helping to pick up the ore fragments on the ground.
The dwarf supervisor looked at it and hurriedly explained: "This is like this for the time being, but I heard that His Majesty Yalin has decided to provide some basic education to these children, and may exempt them from work in the future. You can ask for details. Your Majesty Yalin.”
El Cid thought about it for a while but was still unable to make a decision. He followed the dwarf supervisor and went to other places to take a look. El Cid finally discovered a somewhat disharmonious scene. Three people were covered with clothes on their backs. The man whose skin and buttocks were beaten was forced to kneel on the ground by the torture device. Next to him, there was a tall tauren holding a whip and clapping his hands in demonstration.
"Can you explain it?". El Cid pointed to the man being tortured in front of him.
"A few self-righteous mercenaries tried to form gangs here to steal points from others, so I gave them a lesson to let them understand who can only make the rules here!"
The collar worn around the neck of each working slave is like a bank card. The points are entered from the terminal during daily settlement. To exchange for things, you only need to scan the collar. Some people are working After a while, the idea of forming cliques began to develop, and they began to force others to use points to exchange for drinks and other luxury food. But it is a pity that the dwarves and elf supervisors here are all creatures in the summoning system. There is no doubt about their loyalty. Any bribery method is of no use to them. Soon these supervisors demonstrated what 100% supervision efficiency is. , all bullying and cliques were suppressed by the power of the salt-soaked whip.
El Cid glanced around, especially some human slaves who had cast doubtful looks on his group. In the eyes of these slaves, this was a non-human country, and the humans who entered here were all elves and The slave situation of the dwarves is completely opposite to that in the eastern part of the continent. Today, the supervisor actually respectfully led a few humans to inspect, which made these human slave workers somewhat confused about the situation.
"Okay! It seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined. Working hard to gain the right to freedom is not a bad thing." In this case, El Cid had to admit that this level of 'slavery' is not slavery at all. , after all, Master Yalin still gave these people the only opportunity to obtain, of course, they have to pay a price.
The dwarf supervisor happily sent the three people out of the mine and went to the living area to see the situation. At this time, a little girl wearing a small miner's uniform pulled her mother beside her and asked: "Mom! Those people Are they also human beings like us?"
The girl's mother wiped her sweat and hugged the child over and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Hurry up and dig up this basket of ore. The points in my mother's hands can be exchanged for medicine for my father."
Thinking of her father, who had been beaten to the lungs by the slave owner, the little girl nodded vigorously. Her father was very weak and could not dig a basket of ore every day, so he needed his mother's help to complete the work, otherwise he would not be able to receive food. It is really hard to work alone with my mother digging three baskets of ore every day, but the food here is very delicious. It is not the hard bread and smelly soup, but very fresh rice and fragrant dishes. There is even meat to eat every day. Yesterday, everyone had a chicken drumstick in their meal. I deliberately didn't eat the drumstick and left it for my father.
I heard from my mother that as long as the points accumulated by digging one more frame of ore can be used to exchange for treatment medicine for dad, when dad is healed from his injury, he will be able to dig more ore, and maybe mom and dad can also use the points to exchange for it. There is more food, and I also heard from Xiao Jier next door that if I could have 1,000 points, I wouldn’t need to mine ore here every day.
I can no longer be a slave!
The little girl recalled the word 'slave' in a daze. The girl only knew that when the grumpy dwarf who was as tall as herself announced this, many people shed tears, even her parents cried. I really don't know why everyone Want to cry┉┉
