() In the calendar year 2074 of the Li continent, the Odin Kingdom in the north of the mainland discovered underground purple gold deposits, and this began the era of gold mining across the country. A hundred years of gold mining made the Odin Kingdom the Li
The richest country on the continent. After possessing huge wealth, Odin established a powerful army and dominated the north.
The story about Ekbradin begins in the winter of 2213. The Kingdom of Odin ushered in the first snow, and it snowed for five full days.
In Di Du City, a dark and dank basement in Nori Market was filled with moans.
There are a group of people imprisoned here with dull eyes, messy hair, shabby clothes, and dirty bodies. They also have bloody wounds on their bodies that have just been whipped.
They are a bunch of humble slaves!
What awaits them is that they will be sold at Nori Market after dawn, where their fate will completely change. Therefore, few people are sleepy, or anxious, or frightened, and there are also bitter pleas.
"Ike! Please! Anyway, this is not the first time you have killed someone. Please kill me! Let me die! I...I don't even have the courage to commit suicide!" The person who was crying and begging was once angry.
division.
Whether a person on the Li continent can condense cyclones in his body determines whether his status can be changed. The most noble people on the continent are the royal families of various countries, followed by the powerful nobles and union elders. Below the nobles are
Officials from various places, ordinary Qi masters, then civilians, and the lowest level are slaves.
Ike is a sixteen-year-old boy, but his face has a composure that belies his age. His legs are being held by the former Qi Master, who is begging bitterly.
This Qi master once had great fame, but because he offended the city lord, his cultivation was abolished and a leg was broken. Even if he was bought by a noble, he would not live for more than a few days, but the torture of those days would definitely be humiliation and
It was terrible. He was afraid of such an encounter, but even more afraid of death. He once saw Ike kill someone, so he asked Ike for help.
"I don't want to kill anyone anymore!" Ike rejected the Qi master's request.
He still remembers the painful feeling of killing people. At that time, he felt like he was living in hell. He had nightmares for a long time, vomited, and felt sick. He could not forget the stench of the rotting corpse.
.
"Please Ike!" The Qi Master burst into tears, "I'm not as strong as you!"
When he said this, the slaves looked at Ike one after another. Yes, the strongest one here is this sixteen-year-old child. Ike has never shed a tear since the day he joined them.
.
The Qi Master finally begged: "I am from Saigon too!"
This sentence made Ike's body tremble. Few things could make him have such a strong reaction.
The sentence "I am also from Saigon" can arouse the compassion in Ike's heart. If Ike had not been born in Saigon, Ike would not have suffered like this.
"Close your eyes! It will be uncomfortable at first, but after a while, you will go to a paradise without war!" Ike said.
The man was lying on the ground with a smile on his face. Ike had a solemn expression and his hands were shaking. All the slaves did not dare to look up. They lowered their heads and began to pray.
After all, this is killing people, and fear fills the hearts of these people!
At first, the qi master reacted violently, and then he beat Ike with his fists. Ike didn't look at him, his hands were shaking violently, and his heart was trembling, but he still sent this man to another world.
"vomit!"
Everyone, including Ike, vomited. This was not the first time he had killed someone, but it still made him feel sick and uncomfortable. There were also women and children younger than Ike screaming and crying.
The people from the slave union ran to the basement and found a dead man. Everyone's eyes seemed to say, "This person committed suicide." The people from the slave union had no choice but to dispose of the body.
The Nori Market was formed during the gold mining era of the Odin Empire and was a market for slave trading. Markets like this can be seen everywhere in the big cities of the Odin Kingdom. The Nori Market is the oldest and most famous. Slave Trade Union
People obtain slaves through various channels and then trade them in markets like Nori. The Kingdom of Odin stipulates that only nobles have the right to own slaves, which is also a manifestation of status. Otherwise, given the wealth of the Kingdom of Odin,
Almost every commoner could afford a slave.
Amidst the sobbing of these people, the sky gradually became brighter.
After the nobles arrive at Nori Market, the slave union members will release the best slaves first and let the nobles choose. If they like the same one, the one with the highest price will get it. This is also the place where the fate of the slaves is decided.
, the best fate is to be chosen as a slave, or a slave in farming. If you are chosen to be a guard slave, or a slave serving at night, the fate may be the worst. Of course, this depends on the needs of the nobles themselves.
Most of the remaining slaves who are selected will become Wei slaves.
There are many high-quality slaves this year, most of whom are homeless due to war. Among the slaves are red-haired ones from the Akil Empire. There is a natural blood lake in that country, and the people living there
They have been drinking water from the lake for generations. Their red hair is red, and some of them have red pupils. After a noble lady bought them, she couldn't help but giggle in the carriage.
, seems to be unable to conceal the joy in his heart.
The ones with green eyes come from the Pufa Empire. That country was built on a huge island, and the seaweed on the island was their food. They were bought by nobles who like strange things. Their use may be related to farming. There is nothing wrong with being a slave.
Relationship, maybe one day it will be thrown away in the trash.
Most of the slaves with nearly perfect figures and outstanding looks came from the Messian Empire. It is said that the people in that country are descendants of the goddess of beauty. One of them had the most perfect figure and the most beautiful among them. She was bought by a fat noble.
Let's go. Before his carriage completely disappeared from people's sight, the inside of the carriage began to shake violently.
Ike may be the most ordinary among the slaves. He has jet black hair, brown pupils, a thin body, and an undistinguished appearance. But the difference is that his eyes are sharp, his posture is upright, and his hands are tightly grasped.
The chain that locked him. When the union men whipped him, he gritted his teeth without making a sound, frowned, and vented his anger on the chain.
The harder the union man hit him, the straighter his body became. Coupled with a slightly cold face, the union man hesitated when he struck. His expression seemed to express his disdain for the union.
The person said: "I will remember you! One day in the future, I will return the scars you left on me tenfold to you!"
This scene was seen by the wife of the Berg family. She opened the curtain and said to the housekeeper next to her: "Tel, I want the black-haired child in the corner. No matter how much money others pay, you are better than me."
They gave me a hundred gold more."
The countess spoke in a gentle tone, but there was a sense of strength in every word. Ten gold can buy a high-quality slave, but the countess paid a hundred gold more than others. Although there are occasional comparisons between nobles,
He would not be stupid enough to do this for a slave. Therefore, Ike was bought by the Berg family without any suspense. He was brought to the steward by the union people. After the steward went to the union to sign the signature, the handcuffs on his body
The shackles were lifted.
"From now on, you will be the slave of the Berg family!" There was a sense of pride in the butler's words.
"The Berg family?" Ike asked in surprise. He never thought that his ordinary self would be bought by the Berg family and serve as a slave. So who is he going to serve? Madam? Earl? Young Master or Miss?
?
Ike did not rejoice, on the contrary, he was unusually calm. Although his ending was not as tragic as that of the beautiful woman, the slave did not end well after all. He had already had a goal in his heart that he would strive for throughout his life, which was to live strong.
If you want to live a good life, you can't be too complacent. Besides, what is there to be proud of as a slave? No matter how good the ending is, you can't escape the scope of the slave.
After the union man handed the deed of betrayal to the butler, he grabbed a cold steamed bun from the wooden barrel on the side, stuffed it into Ike and said, "Eat! Don't starve to death on the way to Berg's house, hahahaha!"
Ike didn't look back, and opened his mouth to bite the steamed bun that was almost as hard as a rock. He didn't want to let himself die. This scene surprised the housekeeper who had bought hundreds of slaves. Slaves like him were rare.
Maybe that's why he was chosen by the lady. The butler thought as he got on the horse and the Berg family's convoy turned around. The Berg family, which had the largest demand for slaves in the past, only bought Ike this year.
In the snow, Ike shivered with his bare feet, but he was able to follow the carriage closely and not let himself fall behind. While people were still recalling his unusual behavior, he and the Berg family's carriage disappeared.
What were left behind were his footprints, and the blood that split open and spilled on the snow because he desperately chased the carriage regardless of his foot injury.
