Chapter 3 Steam Locomotives in Britain

() bang bang!

Xiao Ming, who fell asleep again at an unknown time, was woken up again by the sound of knocking on the iron door, "Get up, stand in a row for me, follow me, if you don't want to be beaten, just be honest with me!"

Following the footsteps of the guard in front of him, Xiao Ming is also looking at the surrounding environment. On both sides of the corridor are the same iron gates as the cell he was in. They are bare and have no style.Originally, Xiao Ming thought that the style of the other world might be different, but now it seems that, at least in terms of the so-called prison, that is the case.

In a wider hall, maybe it should be a place for some activities. Besides Xiao Ming and other people, there are some men and women standing there, as if waiting for something. Last night, Xiao Ming didn't see the faces of everyone clearly. , Today he saw clearly that the people here look more similar to Caucasians in appearance and facial features, and their skin color is more Asian. Maybe it is caused by the geographical environment here, especially among the many people, Xiao Ming also saw a beastman!That's right, you can't read it wrong, it's an orc!

The ears are longer than normal humans, with hair on the tips of the ears, and a hole in the trousers, from which protruded a fluffy tail, wagging constantly, "Very beautiful catwoman~" Xiao Ming thought in his heart, But she looked terrified.

"Okay, stand here for me. People from the Slave Chamber of Commerce will come to select you in a while. Those who are selected will go with them. Those who are not selected will follow the people who lead you back to their respective cells!" In front of the crowd, the chief guard of the prison roared. "Are all the new slaves here?" A man with a very magnetic voice walked into the hall, with a long knife pinned to his waist. Why can it be sure that it is a long knife?Because this knife has no scabbard at all.

"Yes, brother Safi, I let you pick the latest batch!" He was accompanied by a big fat man who seemed to be the warden, after all, slaves in prisons were bought and sold. , the warden does not appear to be unreasonable.

"I don't know how much you want to buy this time, brother?"

The man named Safi quietly avoided the warden's fat hand, and walked towards the slaves, "As long as it's good, you can have as many as you want."

For some reason, Xiao Ming felt that the man in front of him seemed like a gun that exuded the smell of blood. When he got close to the crowd, wherever the man's gaze went, everyone seemed to involuntarily slow down their breathing. Speed, even hold your breath. .

While he was looking at the many slaves in the hall, Xiao Ming also looked at this man curiously, what kind of person did what, in Xiao Ming's opinion, this guy with a soldier-like murderous aura didn't seem like a slave People who buy and sell, of course, this is just a simple feeling of Xiao Ming.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ming, who was a little distracted, suddenly felt a burst of tingling. It turned out that it is true that the eyes make people feel tingling. It was a tingling feeling, but Xiao Ming was not intimidated by this look. Just kidding, for Xiao Ming, he was afraid of everything except death. Besides, he had already died once, would he be afraid of dying again?People are afraid of death because of the unknown, but Xiao Ming, who knows what death is like, is not afraid of it. The worst thing is to die again. .

"Huh?" Safi stopped her footsteps, and looked at Xiao Ming with a little interest. He was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with silver-white hair. I don't care, and she looks chic, yes, thinking of this, Safi raised her finger and pointed at Xiao Ming, "Come here."

Xiao Ming couldn't understand his language, so he just shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't understand.

Safi's entourage said to Ming, "Master Safi has picked you, now let you go before him."

Ming nodded.Slowly walked to the side of Safi, and Safi continued to choose slaves. .

According to Xiao Ming's temperament, he is not afraid of death, so why didn't he resist after knowing that he was a slave?That's because Xiao Ming is very interested in this new world, as if a child has encountered a new toy. As for his identity, whether it's a slave or a nobleman, he doesn't care. , but it does not mean that he is stupid. At this time, this place, this identity, in a world where a fart can kill people, your dignity, your glory, it is worthless, honestly Squat down, make up your mind before moving, maybe there is still a sliver of life, otherwise it is just a foolish way to die.

After about half a month, I finally climbed over the Arami Mountains, took a steam locomotive to cross the city of Surdor in the British Empire, and finally arrived at the destination by boat, which is where the slave trade union is located, the city of Arakis!

Naturally, what surprised Ming the most during this trip was the steam locomotive, which is what we call a train. There are trains in this world!However, this kind of train is only functionally the same as that of the earth, and in Xiao Ming's opinion, it is completely different in appearance and operation mode. It is another style. There are thick exhaust pipes facing the sky on both sides of the locomotive. The train is spraying water vapor, normally speaking, it should be burning soot, so this is definitely not a coal-burning train. .

"Are you curious? What is this jet-jetting monster?" The follower who could speak An Ruiwen saw Xiao Ming looking at the steam locomotives outside, and laughed. Not only Xiao Ming, but also other slaves They are also very curious. Of course, they dare not ask casual questions. Experience tells them that as slaves, they should keep a low profile and talk less in order to live a long life.

Although the slave did not answer, the entourage still said to himself, "This is a steam locomotive that is only available in Britain at present. It is said that when the British alchemist Watt passed by the lake of steam, he saw the Arncro volcano. It was invented by inspiration when it erupted, of course, who knows exactly what happened?"

"What is the source of power for these locomotives?" Other people dare not ask, which does not mean that Wang Xiaoming dare not. First of all, there is naturally a reason why Wang Xiaoming is not afraid of them at all in his heart, but more importantly, Wang Xiaoming also understood within half a month. Despite the temperament of these guards guarding them, as long as they don't make any moves to escape or attack, they are usually easy to talk to.At the same time, this is the only day that this group of people can eat enough during this period, and they can eat meat every meal, can you believe that?

Are they raising slaves or raising uncles?Meat and wheat bread can be eaten every meal, and there is a ration of fruit every day.This made the complexions of the slaves carefully selected by Safi gradually improve, so Xiao Ming probably guessed that this man named Safi should be taking the route of exquisite packaging, Maybe there are not many of them, but every slave who has been carefully selected and trained will definitely be able to sell for a very good price. .

Hearing Xiao Ming's words, the attendant was a little curious, "You still know this?"

"Well, I learned some similar knowledge from my father when I was not a slave."

The entourage nodded, "This steam locomotive relies on the energy released by the magic crystal to make the water boil, and then the mechanical device in it is driven by the water vapor, so that the locomotive can run."

At the end of this car is Safi who leans back on the seat. Hearing Xiao Ming discussing with his subordinates not far away about this damn steam or jet locomotive, he is a little curious. This little guy is quite interesting. , courageous, knowledgeable, if not a slave, maybe a character in the future. . .

Bored, he casually picked up a newspaper from the Harper Alliance and flipped through it. On the first page was a huge headline, "The Wrath of the Royal Family—King Chara Jack Slovakia came out to refute the rumors in person", as Faerun The largest intelligence organization in the mainland, we confirmed for the first time that the king of the Char Empire, Char Jack Slovakia, did not divorce the queen. At the same time, the king expressed his anger at the rumormongers. . . .

"Boring~" Safi slapped the newspaper on her face, closed her eyes and rested, not knowing what to think. .
