Chapter 341 Slave Market

Ruang Town was the first human town Ji Ruo came into contact with after arriving on the Earth Mother Continent.

Ji Ruo came in from the entrance of the secret realm. Although he used the magic door many times to find the town, it also indirectly shows how remote the location of this town is. It is almost on the edge of the secret realm, the land is barren, and there is not much development value.

Because of poverty, slavery did not develop.

Young people in the town do occasionally leave the town to go to the "big city to work" or something, but these people generally never come back after they leave.

Jonathan was a nobleman, so he knew that those so-called "working in big cities" usually died on the way or were tricked into becoming slaves.

There were no slaves in Roueng, but Roueng produced slaves.

That's roughly what it means.

"Because I am a noble, although only a baron of the lowest rank, if those who leave Rouen Town become slaves, the people from the Slave Chamber will give me some share. That's how I knew those people became slaves." Jonathan explained, "But those who leave our town are all guys without any special talents, and generally speaking, they can't buy much money, so I don't get much.

Although I don’t have slaves, I’ve heard that slaves’ lives are generally not very good.”

Ji Ruo was curious: "Have you ever thought about redeeming these people?"

"I haven't thought about it." Jonathan shook his head. "If you sell a slave, you have to provide food, shelter and clothing, which is a lot of expenses. Besides, it's their own choice. Why should I pay for them?"

"That's true."

Ji Ruo nodded, and then followed Mosquito Buding while chatting with everyone on the temporary chat platform.

Because this chat platform is built on Ji Ruo's Xingxuan Cave Heaven, Jonathan and others living in Xingxuan Cave Heaven can also participate in the group chat.

As new believers of Ji Ruo, Ash and his sister heard some stories about Ji Ruo from Lao Laode and others, and their understanding of the stove god they believed in was deepened.

Especially the part about "Gods fighting for their believers", even Sheila and others listened with great interest.

Even Liang Shixian was very interested and repeatedly asked about some battle details.

Therefore, Ji Ruo once again felt that annoying tinnitus in his ears.

Although you can hear the specific content if you listen carefully, if you don't listen carefully, it's like thousands of mosquitoes flying around your ears.

In this regard, Ji Ruo had to make some optimizations to this chat platform. He turned all the conversation content into chat bubbles and used the statue in Xingxuan Cave as a storage device so that the 'chat history' could be preserved for a long time. If you want to hear something, just click on it.

Moreover, the statue can also perform some simple automatic analysis and mark some slightly more important content in red, further improving its practicality.

By the way, this way of chatting can only be effective within the range covered by Ji Ruo's consciousness. As a two-star god, if the accuracy is not considered, the radius of the range that Ji Ruo's current consciousness can cover is about one kilometer.

That is to say, after joining the "group chat", with Ji Ruo as the center, this platform can be used to communicate with Ji Ruo or other group chat members within a radius of two kilometers, but the farther the distance, the more blurred the chat content - probably it can be understood that the signal is not good.

Mosquito, who was leading the way in front, would occasionally look back and look at everyone.

Because they were the new contact, Mosquito thought that they would ask him some details about the goods, but he didn't expect that they all remained silent and looked aloof. It seemed that their predecessors had told them about this in advance. After all, although this kind of thing was not expressly prohibited by the Empire, it was still not good to say it openly.

…

Soon, Ji Ruo and others arrived at the so-called slave market.

Guests dressed in slightly more luxurious clothes walked in the market, and under the guidance and introduction of "on-site staff", they visited and selected the slaves of their choice.

The slaves stood on platforms that looked like display cabinets, with their prices clearly marked, waiting to be chosen by wealthy people.

Most of these slaves are women, and most of them wear worn-out and ragged clothes, revealing large areas of skin. The purpose of these slaves... those who understand will understand.

Of course, not all slaves are female, there are male slaves too, but they don't seem to have anything special.

These slaves looked at each 'guest' with anticipation in their eyes. It wasn't very strong, but they didn't seem to resist their current status.

And the "expectation" in their eyes inexplicably gives people a feeling of "professional smile".

"Ji Ruo, I feel a little uncomfortable here." Liang Shixian said on the chat platform.

Ji Ruo nodded slightly: "Me too."

Although they were all human beings, these so-called slaves could only stand on the 'counter' and be selected as goods. This made the two young men from Daxia feel very uncomfortable.

Even Ji Ruo had the urge to start a liberation movement on the spot.

But it's not the right time yet, Mosquito is still leading the way.

Moreover, if we only change this one place, it won't make much sense.

Slave trading is legal in Mother Earth, as evidenced by the fact that there is a dedicated slave market in the imperial capital.

The transaction that Mosquito Doesn't Bite wants to conduct with himself, or with the Beast God Arena, is obviously illegal, so what you see here is far from all.

So, wait a little longer.

After a while, Mosquito Blind led everyone to a corner.

"My lords, in addition to the batch of goods I gave you, we have recently imported a batch of higher-end goods. Considering that this is your first time here, if you are interested, I can take you to have a look after the transaction is completed. With your status, you should be able to get a good discount..."

Mosquito said, glanced at Ash and Tim, and said: "Some special needs can also be met."

Obviously, he regarded Ash and the other two as Ji Ruo's slaves. He had secretly "evaluated" Ji Ruo in this way on the way here.

Ji Ruo did not comment. Mosquito Buging took out something that looked like a seal. After some operations, a groove appeared on the wall. He embedded the seal into the groove, and a small magic circle suddenly appeared there.

"It's teleportation magic." Tim introduced in the chat group: "The teleportation distance is very short, just underground, and below is the real slave market."

Ji Ruo's heart moved when he heard this.

A real slave market...

"My Lords, please follow me."

Mosquito Butting stepped onto the teleportation array and disappeared.

Several people followed without hesitation.

The next moment, everyone came underground.

"My Lord, why are these people not wearing any clothes? Aren't they cold?"

Nancy asked curiously.

Ji Ruo took a look and became even more angry.

The underground slave market is much larger than the one on the ground, and each 'counter' is more exquisite, and there are even transparent covers like glass to cover the slaves inside.

In terms of "grade", the slaves here are obviously of higher quality. The female slaves are delicate in appearance, and the male slaves are tall and strong with handsome looks.

The difference is that the 'glass cover' of the counter where the female slaves are located is completely covered, with only a few small air holes.

The 'glass cover' of the counter where the male slaves were located was only half open.

But without exception, everyone was naked, with empty eyes, numbly showing themselves to the 'guests'.

The guests here are obviously of more distinguished status than those mentioned above, and there are both men and women.

Most of the male customers were selecting female slaves, but of course some were selecting male slaves as well.

The female customers, all wearing masks on their faces, are mainly selecting male slaves, and they can also inspect the goods themselves!

Sheila covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "These people, how can..."

Compared to divinity, most of the time, Sheila's humanity is dominant as a human being.

Although the Goddess of Death controls the death of all things and theoretically knows everything about the existence of the world, the information she possesses is too vast for Sheila to receive all of it, so she didn't know that there was such a place in the world.

"How disgusting!" Emily said in disgust, and at the same time covered the eyes of Ash and his sister, saying, "Children, don't look at this."

Because they were too shocked, they said these words subconsciously.

"?"

Mosquito looked at Ji Ruo in confusion: "Sir, what do they mean?"

"Nothing." Ji Ruo raised his hand expressionlessly and pinched Mosquito's face, saying coldly: "You didn't hear anything. Shila, do you know magic like puppetry?"

Emily shook her head: "I only know healing and enhancement magic."

Sheila said: "I can only control the dead."

Ji Ruo was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Wen Buding, who had a terrified expression, and his eyes turned pure black and pure white.

He consumed his divine power regardless of the cost, activating one of the powers that came with his position as a god - to discern good and evil!

This is one of the basic duties of the stove god, whose main function is to monitor the good and evil in the world.

If Mosquito Bite was a believer of Ji Ruo, then Ji Ruo would not need to expend any divine power to know the good and evil deeds of this person's life. Unfortunately, he was not, and Ji Ruo did not want such a believer.

By the way, since the God of the Oven has the power of "supervision", he naturally also has the power of reporting.

The so-called "observe the good and evil of a family, and report the merits and demerits of a family".

According to legend, the Stove God is attended by two gods, one holding a "good jar" and the other holding a "bad jar". They keep a record of the family's behavior in the jars at all times and report to the Jade Emperor after summarizing them at the end of the year.

At present, Ji Ruo has not yet chosen a attendant god, and there are not many living believers, so he has to do this kind of thing by himself.

Besides, the Jade Emperor is said to be the leader of "Heaven", and "Heaven"...now there are only two gods of incense and worship, Ji Ruo and the white cat, so where does the Heaven come from?

So this authority is temporarily useless.

After recording and reporting, the 'Heaven' will arrange different 'destinies' for mortals based on these data.

The so-called "fate" is actually not mysterious. It just increases the probability of certain "opportunities" appearing or the possibility of living a "good life" on a macro level, but it is not completely controllable.

Whether or not one can seize the 'opportunity' depends on the mortal himself.

The so-called "good days" are actually good weather, no disasters and no diseases. Most people do not realize that they are actually living a "good day" before they really experience hardship.

All this information comes with the throne of the God of Stove.

Back to the topic.

If we ignore the cost of consuming divine power, it is certainly not as simple as simply seeing whether the mosquito's refusal to bite is good or evil. He wants to see more.

Thus, under the urging of Ji Ruo's magical power, some of Mosquito Buting's life experiences gradually appeared before Ji Ruo's eyes.

During this process, Ji Ruo's eyes turned completely black and his face turned ashen.

The vast majority of the so-called slaves here were obtained through various means of deception or even forced abduction.

They have never viewed these "slaves" as human beings. The scenes they have seen are so cruel and disgusting that they are outrageous, and even to the point where the page will be 404 if they are described a little bit.

'Crack.'

Without any hesitation, Ji Ruo directly broke the neck of Mosquito.

Although it was his first time to kill someone with his own hands, Ji Ruo did not feel uncomfortable. He even felt that killing this guy was too easy for him.

Although Mosquito was not the mastermind, he still deserved to die.

The fact that the Empire allowed such a place to exist, although not openly, also indirectly showed that there was no need for these people to be handed over to local judicial institutions.

"All right, Sheila, wake him up."

Sheila nodded with an unpleasant expression, raised her hand and grabbed the terrified soul of Mosquito from the air: "You, you——"

Before he could finish his words, his entire soul was completely controlled by Sheila and became calm.

At the same time, Sheila also saw the scenes that Ji Ruo saw from Mosquito Buding's soul, and angrily "rebroadcast" them in Ji Ruo's chat channel so that everyone except Ash and Nancy could see them.

"Well done!"

"These scums, Lord Kagami! Kill them!"

The residents of the former town of Rouen were excited.

Liang Shixian was also very angry.

Ji Ruo said calmly: "Squad leader, transform and kill them directly."

"good!"

Although he can kill without transforming, it is better for the Armor Hero to take action in such a justice-promoting matter.

Tim tilted her head. She didn't quite understand why they were so angry. As the Mother of Earth, she already knew everything about the underground, but she didn't find it strange.

Because similar things happen everywhere in mainland China, she is used to it.

Most importantly, she is not a human being, not even a living being, and cannot empathize.

The dazzling light and the mechanical transformation sound effects instantly attracted the attention of most people in the underground market.

The three of them completed their transformation, and with shadowy steps, they moved as fast as a ghost, smashing the "glass covers" one by one, and moved around with all their might. The fragments flew everywhere, piercing through the guests' limbs, and they fell to the ground wailing.

These people are not innocent either.

At the same time, Ji Ruo also pulled out a large amount of clothes or cloth from his four-dimensional pocket so that the "slaves" could cover their bodies.

"Don't be afraid, everything is fine, you are safe." Liang Shixian, wearing diamond armor, spoke to comfort them.

The rescued 'slaves' looked terrified, without any joy on their faces.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here? You are tired of living like this!"

Suddenly, a group of guards rushed out from the darkness and surrounded and killed the few people.

Of course, while they were surrounding and killing the enemies, they were also rescuing the wailing guests.

Ji Ruo didn't take these people seriously at first, but suddenly he felt his body sink and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

The next moment, dozens of magic chains attacked from all directions, and a large number of white lines suddenly appeared in Ji Ruo's sight.

After the Eternal Truth and the Ox-Horse Dragon, Ji Ruo had his "First Intuition" triggered for the third time on Mother Earth.

This means that if you don't avoid it, it will be dangerous.
