Chapter 526 - 526: Slave Market 1
Ji Ruo had entered from the entrance of the secret plane. Although he had used the dimensional door many times to find this small town, it also showed how remote the location of this small town was. It was almost at the edge of the secret plane. The land was barren and did not have much development value.
Because they were too poor, the slave industry did not develop.
The young people in the town would occasionally leave the town to work in the big city or something, but these people usually wouldn’t come back after leaving.
Jonathan was also a noble, so he knew that those who went to work in the big city usually died on the way or were tricked into becoming slaves.
Rouen Town did not have slaves, but it produced them.
That was probably what he meant.
“Because I’m a noble, although I’m only the lowest baron, if those who leave Rouen Town become slaves, the slave trade association will give me a share. That’s how I knew those people became slaves.’”‘ But the people who come from our town don’t have any special talents,” Jonathan explained.” They don’t usually cost much, so I didn’t get much.”
Although I don’t have slaves, I heard that slaves ‘lives aren’t very good.” “Have you ever thought of redeeming these people?” Ji Ruo asked curiously.”
“Never thought about it.” Jonathan shook his head.” Selling a slave means providing food, shelter, and clothes. It’s a big expense. Besides, it’s their choice. Why should I pay for them?””
“That’s true.”
Ji Ruo nodded, then followed Silent Mosquito and chatted with everyone on the temporary chat platform.
Because this chat platform was built based on Ji Ruo’s Star Jade Cave, Jonathan and the others who lived in Star Jade Cave could also join the Group chats. As Ji Ruoxin’s believers, the siblings had heard some stories about Ji Ruoxin from Old Lauder and the others, and they had a deeper understanding of the Kitchen God they believed in.
Even Hera and the others listened with great interest to the part where the gods fought for their believers.
Even Liang Shixian was very interested and repeatedly asked about the details of the battle.
Because of this, Ji Ruo once again felt that irritating ringing in his ears.
Although he could still hear the specific content if he listened carefully, if he did not listen carefully, it was as if thousands of mosquitoes were flying around his ears.
In response, Ji Ruo had no choice but to do some optimization to this chat platform. He turned all the conversation content into chat bubbles and used the statue in Star Jade Grotto-heaven as a storage device to keep the chat history for a long time. If he wanted to listen to something, he just had to click it.
Moreover, the statue could perform a simple automatic analysis, and some of the more important content would be highlighted in red, further increasing its practicality.
By the way, this method of chatting could only be effective within the range of Ji Ruo’s divine sense. As a two-star god, if the accuracy was not taken into account, the radius of Ji Ruo’s current divine sense could cover was about one kilometer.
In other words, after joining the ‘Group chats anyone within a two-kilometer radius of Ji Ruo could use this platform to communicate with Ji Ruo or other members of the group chat. However. the further away they were. the more vague the content of the chat would be. It could probably be understood as a poor signal.
Mosquito Buding, who was leading the way, would occasionally turn his head to look at the crowd.
As they were new contacts, Wen Buding thought that they would ask him about the details of the goods. He didn’t expect them to remain silent and look cold. It seemed that their seniors had instructed them in advance. After all, although the empire didn’t explicitly prohibit such things, it was still not good to say it openly.
Soon, Ji Ruo and the others arrived at the so-called slave market.
The customers who were dressed luxuriously walked in the market. Under the guidance and introduction of the ‘on-site staff’, they visited and selected the slaves they liked.
The slaves stood on the platform that looked like display cabinets, with prices clearly marked, waiting for the rich to choose.
Most of these slaves were women. Most of these women wore tattered and ragged clothes, revealing a large part of their skin. As for the use of these slaves… He understood everything.
Of course, not all of them were female slaves. There were also male slaves, but they didn’t seem to have any special characteristics.
These slaves looked at each ‘guest’ with anticipation in their eyes. It wasn’t very strong, but it didn’t seem to reject their current identity.
The ‘anticipation’ in their eyes gave people a feeling of ‘professional smile’.
“Jiruo, this place makes me a little uncomfortable.”Liang Shixian said in the chat platform.
“Me too.” Ji Ruo nodded slightly.”
They were clearly humans, but these so-called slaves could only stand on the ‘counter’ and be chosen as goods. This made the two youths from Great Xia feel very uncomfortable.
Ji Ruo even had the urge to start a movement of liberation on the spot.
But it wasn’t the time yet. Mosquito Without Ding continued to lead the way.
Moreover, it was not very meaningful to change only one place.
Slave trading was a legal activity on the Mother Earth Continent. This could be seen from the fact that there was a specialized slave market in the capital..
