Egret

Chapter 22. Dreams of ants

However, it was the escorts who were not involved in the slave trade and were merely sticking to the ankles of the group who were trying to get past them.

“Hey! You guys have a great timing. Just the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. ”

“Just say it. Draw it. What kind of stuff do you need? ”

The act of auctioneering led to no cover for all visitors passing through the marketplace streets.

In fact, the people who came here, like Judas' group, rarely tried to go too far and were mostly guests who came to see slaves.

Among them were not only Midgardians, but also nobles and symbols who came to play in other countries.

Those who appeared to be from Lubarzan were also noticeable. Sage frowned.

“How can those who serve the divine and are under the majestic laws...! ”

“It's quite common to buy slaves from other countries. ”

Baikal shrugs his shoulders as if it were not an algebra.

Although slavery was prohibited by imperial law, there were in fact many who secretly bought slaves inside Lubarzan.

“I can't do that. Do we need to reinforce the punishment? ”

“No.”

The decisive answer came back.

“It's rarer to keep it straight than I thought. No matter how severely punished they end up making back-to-back deals. ”

“I'm telling you to keep the law. ”

“But there's always a hole in the law. ”

Integrity is the ideal of officials, but it is hard to be realistic.

Punishing only those who violated the silk law was not a problem to solve. If you want to catch one, there is a good reason, like the fish caught in the net, to bite the tail and lead and touch it.

“Sometimes we make holes that are deliberately avoided by need. ”

Judas opens his mouth.

“Is that about the flexibility of the ruling class? ”

“You know very well. Forcing and oppressing unconditionally does not make crimes disappear, so it is better to create a darkness beyond the control of the state. ”

“Controllable darkness……. ”

As I entered the market with my passengers like a bunch of fruit flies, I saw so many people that I couldn't run on horses.

The group got off the horse and started walking.

“One thing is, if the ruling class throws it all away. ”

Judas slowly took the lead by pulling the reins of his horse.

“As we saw in Raven territory the other day, there must be something called a custom. ”

Sage recalls Lord Raven who exploited the farmers.

It was a gruesome crime to covet other people's goods, kidnap women, disguise them as accidents, and kill people.

However, the imperial officials who had been scouting for such evil deeds never posed such a problem.

“Then, brother. How do you intend to solve this? ”

Those who secretly enter slavery for other purposes through slavery in other countries. Asked about his disposition, Judas calmly replied without changing a look.

“Everything is in order. The first thing you need to do is listen to the parties. ”

“If you are a party…… would you be a slave? ”

It was time to get used to the Crown Prince's sudden behavior, but I opened my eyes like a startling squirrel.

“And those who bought slaves. You have to listen to both sides. ”

Others, surprised or not, inevitably took off their clothes while Judas activated the enchant enchantment enchanted by the brooch.

Immediately, the enchant triggered and immediately changed the hair color. The rest of the group calmly took off their clothes after seeing ordinary brown hair in silver, which was like jewelry.

It's north of the continent, but the summer weather was really cold, so it was no longer torture to wear a long jacket or robe.

Other travelers' dresses were also extremely simple, such as short sleeves, sleeves, and a beautifully woven hood.

Busy businessmen who had to work in the sun wore out tongs, and women even wore miniskirts that covered their breasts only with cloth or draped away from their buttocks.

The costume style was much more striking than the Empire or the Thaw, as it appears to be an illegal zone.

After losing both eyes due to the high exposure of the visible clan, Baikal quickly identified Cristina's face.

‘Hmm? You're healthier than I thought. ’

She was also the only woman in the group, and she grew up as a duke who valued quality, so she was considered the most vulnerable to inferior cultures. Of course, it was hard to imagine her being discouraged or her face reddened, but I thought I'd do it a little harder.

However, what worried me was a colourless face.

As Baikal stares at me in surprise, I notice it like a knife and ask.

“Do you have something to say? ”

“No, it's just a bird. ”

“Birdsam?”

Cristina never got over anything suspicious. It was clear that he would stick his horse tail until he heard a convincing answer.

Knowing that stiff tendency, Baikal answered honestly.

“Well, you want to adapt to rough roads. ”

“That's so sweet. ”

It is true that she is a strong woman both in terms of power and in terms of spirituality.

But apart from him, she was also a senior family woman. In general, only ordinary women are exposed to harsh work.

In the Lubarzan aristocratic society, women play a role that is dear to men, and they never leave their homes and do bad things.

Nobles considered it polite to give priority to women when men and women were simultaneously in difficulty.

Naturally, the noble lady arranges a procession prepared to maintain her elegance even when she is traveling.

Inclusion of women in the police force who travel on horseback for extended periods of time was very rare, as is now the case.

This was also possible because she voluntarily left her home to join me.

“…… If it was a complaint, I wouldn't even walk out on my feet. ”

Cristina bites her hair strap into her mouth and brushes her long hair with her hands.

Even though there were so many well-educated maidens attached, her appearance of tying her head to a wooden plate seemed quite difficult.

The long, ocean-green hair shook with a thin wrist.

She added, smiling lightly, as she tied her heads together.

“Why, aren't you the same? ”

With a smile like the morning sun she always showed with a cold expression, Baikal stopped muttering and rolled away.

“Huh. Cristina."

“What else? ”

Vical, who was so annoying, seriously asked Cristina.

“Now smile a little more often. ”

“Why should I? ”

“You know, men are a lot simpler than you think. ”

“What?”

“Especially weak in visual stimulation. When I see Cristina smiling like she just smiled, I don't think there's a man who's going to make it. If you were a human, wouldn't your heart be beating? ”

Until then, Cristina, who was being bullied, reds her face for the first time. At the same time, when I saw the stiff look of a laughter flying away, Baikal smiled.

“Nothing to worry about. I assure you! You can get this straight to the real effect...... Argh! ”

Cuckoo!

With a cheerful blow, the larynx is curled up like a beaten field with a beaten baikal.

It was Edan who came into the situation rather than keeping his hands shut.

He recited the reason for the punishment towards his light-mouthed hand.

“It's rude. And it's noisy. ”

“…… Will you kill the deputy? ”

“It would be better if you were that strong to die. ”

“Ugh, what's better! Don't think anyone owns a handcuff like a commander! ”

Baikal turned into an unfair tone, but Edan did not measure what he heard.

They naturally entered the crowd and entered the center of the market. The slave yard was no different from the ordinary market on the outside. It was full of crowds, dog barks, and the smell of freshly cooked food.

However, it was different that the ‘goods’ exhibited were living humans.

“Masters, don't you need a night slave? ”

“Who wants to buy bulk! They are sold in bundles of 102 per set. The kids are in good shape. Basic fitness training and swordsmanship! ”

“How long have you been studying? Come to work. I'll make it cheap.”

“Ordinary slaves are fed up now, aren't they? So we're ready. Limited edition Rabbit Demibeast! ”

Much more blatantly than in the beginning, the Aggressive Army was too distracted by the act of the auxiliary.

Sage looked naked and stranded like an animal and bitten her tongue in shock by cultural shock.

“Sob, rabbit……. ”

I dressed all the nets in my heart like clothes, but in the end I was nothing but naked.

Whether male or female, he took off as much as he needed and wrapped the chain around his neck like a dog necklace so that everyone could not escape.

Respect for one's personality was an act that could not be found.

Special slaves who knew how to use their abilities were treated more severely. I covered my eyes and put ashes in my mouth to hurt my master or cause turbulence.

Most of the time, there were strong signs of beatings, such as beatings with whips and shattered backs and shattered flesh. He succumbed to them and conceded without further rebellion.

Merchants left their chest wounds untouched and gave them minimal treatment only if they really took their lives. Then, depending on the conditions they were looking for, they dragged slaves and showed them and traded like they were dealing with goods.

The master's slave carved the master's crest on his body with earthquake pots in the fire.

It was called 'stigmatization’. It was a terrible way of trading, but the 'stigma’ was written in the slave trade as a kind of certificate.

This was because it was recorded in the books so that the owner of the slave could be recognized through this stigma.

Ugh, I feel bad here.

Uni murmured, sweeping his forearms like a cold man.

For the spirits who handle life, this slave field, full of negative emotions and violence, was a very unpleasant place.

The spirits of Judas were all unmaterialized, so they melted away from the flow of nature.

"Really. I'd rather go to war.

"That's right. It's dynamic there. These kids are so helpless.

…… Neither.

Only the blue wolf flinches his nose. Carney asks, looking back at the spiritual king of a quiet land.

How's Tony?

"Eh, I'm fun in my own way.

"What did he say? Is this fun?

Looking at his fellow spirits, Tony nods and shakes his head up and down. Then I tried to explain it by bending my arm hard.

Just playing in the ground and stumbling out! It popped out, and it was a fucking dizzy storm! Feel like we've met?

"Bang"? What does it feel like, it's.....

The Spirit of Wind was an incomprehensible example. Tony laughs and lays on Judas' head and rolls.

Anyway, it's amazing! It's a phenomenon that no other species can see?

Uh, is that so?

"Take your people, teach them obedience, and sell them to another people.

Uni floats round in the air and looks back at the market with his arms crossed.

…… Yes.

"People make people into things.
