Lord of Plants

Chapter 19 Slaves and Nobles

The continent of Zeia is a slave society, so the aristocracy was born, and the aristocracy is the ruling class that enjoys political and economic privileges.They enjoy privileges but do not do any human affairs. They do anything but eat, drink and have fun all day long. They can oppress the common people, but the common people cannot resist, because they are nobles with noble blood, even if they look at them more, it is a kind of blasphemy.

In order to please these aristocrats who are full and have nothing to do all day long, the slave trading industry has been able to develop rapidly and prosper.

A slave usually refers to a person who has lost his personal freedom and is arbitrarily driven by others (usually a slave owner) to do things for them.In the history of the world, people became slaves due to reasons such as war, crime, bankruptcy, and ancestry. While they became labor tools, they were also treated as valuable goods for gifts and transactions.Slaves can become free people again through actions such as escape, redemption, and meritorious service. The above is the slavery system on earth.

It is different on the continent of Zeia, because there is something called a slave contract. The contract contains a mysterious power. It is an oath signed under the witness of the gods, so it will form a special mark and binding force.

Suppression, abduction, and even plundering and selling people as slaves are very common on the mainland. The children of slaves are generally still slaves, and they will be slaves for generations.Once the slave contract is signed, a special mark will be formed on the forehead of the slave. Everything about the slave is tightly grasped by the master, and it is only at the master's thought to kill the slave, because the slave There is no way to resist the master's order.

Escaping is impossible. Unless the master takes the initiative to remove the slave mark, it will never disappear. Even if the slave dies, the mark will be branded on the body, silently telling you that you are a slave.Slaves can resist and kill their masters unexpectedly, but no matter where you flee, you are still a slave, and this identity will never change, so escaping is also a luxury.

Living on the earth in the 21st century, I have accepted the concept of freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom since I was a child. The idea that everyone is equal, pursues freedom and does not accept slave exploitation is already part of Linmu's worldview.Therefore, Lin Mu resisted and rejected the slavery system from the bottom of his heart. If he could, he didn't want to use this inhumane method, but it seems that there is no good way now. If he doesn't use the slave contract, he probably has no other way to control these sand thieves. .

Just when Lin Mu was hesitating whether to use this inhumane method, Hulu Space suddenly conveyed an idea to Lin Mu. This was the first time Lin Mu felt that the Nursing Space actually had thoughts, not just a simple death. thing.Hulu Space sent Lin Mu a message, that is, there is a way to control a group of people, and that is the Blood Soul Seal.If the Sand Bandits are planted with the Blood Soul Seal, then they will never be able to have unfavorable thoughts against the trees, and they will not be able to do harm to the trees. The trees can use the Blood Soul Seal to restrict the Sand Bandits, as long as If they don't violate the restrictions set by Lin Mu, and if they don't want to deal with Lin Mu, then nothing will happen!
That's a good idea, so let's plant the blood soul seal on them, so Lin Mu let the vampire vines into the gourd space.The method of controlling the sand pirates has been solved. Although the method of blood soul seal is not particularly good, it is still much more humane than the slave contract.As soon as he thought of this, Lin Mu's thoughts became clear, and there was a faint smile on his face.

Ran was quite puzzled by Lin Mu's actions, and was particularly puzzled by the smile on Lin Mu's face, what was going on with this kid, and what was he planning.Even the wise Ran couldn't figure out what Lin Mu was thinking and what he was going to do, and how he wanted to deal with this group of sand robbers?Ran is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, so although he has doubts in his heart, he still doesn't ask too much in the end.

"grandfather!"

"Little grass!"

"Come on, Xiaocao, hurry up and thank the lord with me." After the battle, the grandpa and grandson, who were almost separated forever, were able to reunite, embrace each other, and cry.The touching picture makes people's nose sore.After crying for a while, the mayor hurriedly knelt down to thank Lin Mu. In the small place of Hongtu Town, you can't find a nobleman at all, because no nobleman would come to Hongtu Town to suffer when he was full.But even the mayor of a small place knows that the nobles cannot be provoked, because they are all big lords, and they must kneel down and salute when they see the noble lords, otherwise the noble lords will beat you to death if they are not happy. There is also no place to reason.

"Don't, don't, don't, don't, old man, you don't need to do this." Lin Mu quickly helped the mayor up, living in the 21st century, Lin Mu has never bowed down to others, nor has he had the habit of accepting others' kneeling.What's more, the person kneeling now is still an old man in his seventies and eighties, with blood on his head. If something unexpected happens later, if there is something wrong, then I have no place to reason.

"Saving people is what I should do. This place will be my territory from now on. It is my responsibility to protect the people living in this place, their property and life safety. This is my duty. I must do it. Alright." Well, Lin Mu has never regarded himself as a nobleman at all, he knows that he is now a first-class viscount, and he also knows that Hongtu Town is his territory, but he has been influenced by the party and people's doctrine for a long time, he He simply regarded himself as a public servant of the people.

"Old man, you should go back and rest quickly. You see that your head is covered with blood. Go back and recover from your injuries." Lin Mu patted the rough back of the mayor's hand and said softly and gently. The mayor's hand trembled. The tears that had stopped welled up again.Lin Mu's words and deeds gave the mayor a strong and sincere warmth, which is genuine care without any false elements.

Whoever said that nobles must be grand masters, whoever said that nobles must be bullies who bully men and women, devils who cannibalize people without spit out bones, this noble grand master in front of him is not.Lin Mu's behavior won him the goodwill of the mayor of Hongtu Town, changed the mayor's bad impression of the nobles, and at the same time made the townspeople of Hongtu Town realize that Lin Mu may not be the lord of Hongtu Town here. A bad thing, at least...he still treats civilians pretty well.
