Welcome to Bath Suprematism Terra

Because of the letter before, Linguang and his grandfather packed up the guest room early, so that Chen could at least have a place to rest.Of course, they couldn't rest right away. Grandfather ordered a table of dishes to clean up the dust for the two of them.

This time, because there were guests after all, my grandfather was also afraid that his snoring would disturb others' rest, and Elaine was also afraid that he would lose face by drinking, so no one drank.

This home is small, but it feels very secure.

This was Chen's idea, and she couldn't help feeling a little glad that she had this opportunity to feel the warmth of a normal family.Although Gu Hengsheng's family is actually not very normal, his parents are dead after all, and he was brought up by his grandfather who has no blood relationship with him...

But it's nice to feel loved by someone.

Wen Yue's face appeared in her mind, and the envy in her mind was finally lessened.

That night, after having a refreshing dinner, it was already very late.Although it is a foreign country, Chen did not appear to be acclimatized.Lying on the big bed in the guest room of Gu Hengsheng's house, she felt a more real sense of security than sleeping on her own bed, and then fell into a deep sleep.

She fell asleep, but Gu Hengsheng couldn't sleep.Because when he lifted his quilt, he saw a white pony lying inside, staring at him angrily.

Naturally it is platinum.

Gu Hengsheng immediately felt troublesome, and before he could speak, he heard Platinum say in a bad tone: "Who is that woman?"

Sure enough, the pony was jealous.

"It's my classmate. She has a good relationship with me. She has been at the same table for four years." Gu Hengsheng explained, "She has nothing to do when she stays at home during the summer vacation. She wants to go on a graduation trip, so she came to Herros."

"It's really just a simple friendship?" Platinum's eyes were full of mistrust, "He is so beautiful, and the dragon...I remember it was a noble from the Yan Kingdom, right? It was originally called Longmen, heh, what is Boss Gu's name?" Have you climbed a tall branch?"

Her tone was sour, with a strong resentment of being abandoned.

Gu Hengsheng walked up directly, wanting to hug her.The latter twisted his body and shouted while hiding: "Don't touch me!"

Then Gu Hengsheng hugged her whole body, and then lay comfortably in his arms.

"Don't think about these things." He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you think I will still sleep with you tonight?"

The corners of Bai Jin's mouth were slightly raised, and then he twisted in his arms, adjusting a more comfortable position: "You don't even know, I was almost scared to death when I saw you brought a girl home just after graduation, I thought……"

Gu Hengsheng smiled, stroked her hair, and said, "What do you think?"

"I thought... there were a lot of bad associations anyway." She said with a little distress, "You are a famous businessman, a symbol of wealth, and an idol of common people. , the invisible killer..."

There was a bit of sensitivity and inferiority in her words, because she was very aware of the difference in identity between the two.She is still in her prime and has yet to establish a stable outlook and strong confidence in her own strength and identity. This kind of difference that seems insignificant to her ten years later seems to be a big deal now.

Gu Hengsheng couldn't think of any good way to comfort her, so he could only hug her tightly: "It's okay, don't worry."

Platinum leaned his head on his shoulder, thought for a moment, and said, "Aren't you the one who played with her in Herros these few days?"

"Yeah." Gu Hengsheng nodded lightly, "Take her around casually, and then we'll go to Victoria together."

Platinum didn't speak, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I will follow you all the way and watch you two."

"If you dare to do something out of the ordinary... Hehe, wait to be cut off!"

She threatened viciously, then hooked her feet and covered the quilt: "Sleep!"

Gu Hengsheng: "..."

Alas, I knew this was going to happen!

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen got up very early, but there was no way to practice sword here, so she had nothing to do for a while.She can only speak a little Casimir, and without Gu Hengsheng, she might not be able to go anywhere.

Although Yi Lian also understands Longmen language, she can't stay by Chen's side all day after all.

Fortunately, Gu Hengsheng did not make Chen Tai lonely.It was rare for him to get up early at home, and then he took Chen out to buy breakfast, and at the same time told her about the local customs of Casimir.There are some things that I couldn’t remember when I was in Longmen. When I return to my hometown, I can realize the many differences between the two places.

They hit the street together like a real couple.They were very close, but strangely, even though the backs of their hands would touch each other from time to time, they did not hold hands in the end.

Chen wanted to, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative.At this time, Gu Hengsheng should have taken the initiative, but a pair of sharp eyes kept staring at him from the dark place, making him feel like a thorn in his back, and he didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder.

So, the situation can only be sadly deadlocked.

The two walked aimlessly, and Gu Hengsheng tried his best to translate Kasimir's local specialties into Longmen language for her.Time slipped away unknowingly, and after a while, it was already approaching noon.

"What's there?" Chen suddenly asked.

"Huh? Where?"

"There." Chen raised his finger and looked along, Gu Hengsheng's expression suddenly changed.

"There... is the slave trade market." He said with an unnatural expression.

"Slave?" Chen's face was suddenly shocked, "Casimir...is there still such a thing?"

"Yes." Gu Hengsheng lowered his head, feeling ashamed for such a thing, "Casimir still maintains this...backward system. You must know that every knight is a nobleman, and if you don't If you have a group of slaves to serve you, you will be looked down upon by other nobles."

As he said that, he himself couldn't help feeling emotional: "After all, this place is... a very feudal and backward place, even though its productivity is already very developed."

Chen didn't quite understand what Gu Hengsheng meant. The high school of Longmen No. [-] Middle School didn't teach this.Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said, "Hang Seng, shall we go in and have a look?"

"Ugh?"

"I haven't been to this kind of slave market." She said softly, "It's good to gain insight."

Chapter 214 Chapter 212

Gu Hengsheng felt that there was no need to refuse her reasonable request, so he nodded: "OK."

The two walked into this street together, and while walking, Gu Hengsheng said: "Actually, I have never been to this kind of place. Although Linguang is a knight, she is also a commoner because of her outstanding talent and strength." It can only be done. She doesn't have a fief right now, so she doesn't have any slaves of her own."

"Oh." Chen casually agreed, and then asked, "Where do most of these slaves... come from?"

She saw slaves of many different races, Felin, Kuranta, Luper, and many others.She was surprised by the abundance of slaves here. Although Herros is not a small town, there are so many different kinds of slaves. It seems that Casimir's slave market is far stronger than she imagined.

"Criminals, or war." Gu Hengsheng said, "Casimir's laws are extremely harsh, and traders and farmers at the bottom will be severely punished if they do not conduct transactions according to the established rules, and even the whole family will be punished as slaves."

Chen's expression moved, and there was shock in her eyes, but she didn't express the change of her emotions clearly.

"The most common crime is tax evasion. Casimir's agricultural tax and commercial tax are very high, and the pressure on farmers and small traders is very great, so they often choose to trade privately in empty places outside the city, bartering goods, so as to avoid Pay high taxes." Gu Hengsheng continued to explain, "Casimir's knights will search for these people in the wilderness. Once caught, they will face high fines. If they fail to pay, they will be fined." will be punished as slaves."

"Of course, you should also be able to guess the official thinking of Casimir. They hope to use these severe punishments to scare those tax evaders, so the fines are often a sky-high price. Farmers have no choice but to sell themselves. Even the whole family became slaves, thus creating the current situation."

"It's... a terrible law." Chen couldn't help but sighed, her expression was extremely complicated, "Compared with this place, Longmen is simply..."

"Yes, the gap is shockingly large." Gu Hengsheng smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Longmen has been highly modernized, and is even trying to popularize radio communication. It is about to enter the information age, but Casimir is still stuck in the A slavery society..."

"The degree of magic in this world is really amazing."

When he said this, he actually couldn't help being afraid for a while.Because his grandfather did similar things back then, evading high taxes in order to support their three children at the same time.If grandfather had been arrested, then he should be a slave locked in a cage now.

Mr. Chen felt that the "this world" in Gu Hengsheng's mouth was a bit strange. Why did he say that as if he was not from this world?

But then she remembered that some of her junior high school classmates would always write in their diaries, "This world is hopeless, let me overthrow it and build a beautiful new world." It no longer feels strange if it becomes something that becomes a good memory.

Maybe Hang Seng is still in the second stage of middle school in some aspects, and he is still a naive little boy.

So cute.

She thought this way, and then asked another question: "I have a question, does Kasimir have a slave hunting team?"

"Huh?" Gu Hengsheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded, "There are indeed, but there are not many on weekdays, and most of them are during wars. And most of the people who do this kind of thing are mercenaries or something, and they will hunt in groups. Capture refugees and sell them to slave traders..."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Chen shook his head. "It's a different matter during wartime. I mean peacetime."

"Ugh?"

"It's the business of going to the countryside to arrest people and sell them to slave traders." Chen explained, "I feel that this kind of slavery system in Casimir...has a lot of loopholes, and there is really a huge room for manipulation. If some Knights colluded with merchants to fish and enforce the law, and they could easily obtain a large number of slaves and fill their pockets..."

Gu Hengsheng thought for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, but that was in the past. After all, this kind of behavior will greatly disrupt the order of Kasimir, so it is officially prohibited."

"Relying on legal or moral constraints, they are not allowed to do this kind of behavior, such as the knight's code or something?" Chen tilted his head.

"Of course there are laws and morals, but of course it's impossible to rely solely on this, it's too metaphysical." Gu Hengsheng said, "Knights themselves have certain legislative powers and law enforcement powers at the same time. If we only rely on these two means, Definitely can't do it."

"Then how?"

"Prohibiting the commercialization of knight activities makes knights break the law almost as long as they come into contact with merchants." Gu Hengsheng said, "The knights can't get more benefits from the slave trade than the costs, so naturally they won't do such things."

Chen Ruoyou thought: "But this...is not conducive to Casimir's development, right? It feels like overkill."

"That's right, that's why Casimir is so backward." Gu Hengsheng shrugged, and continued, "But these are... It's not right to overcorrect. In the final analysis, slavery itself is wrong, and it is a backward system that should be abolished. If there was no slavery, where would all these things come from..."

"I didn't expect you to be such a radical reformer." Chen couldn't help laughing, directly abolishing a country's century-old system is not an easy task for anyone.Except for huge wars or social upheavals, there is hardly any peaceful way to accomplish social change.

After all, in peaceful times, people tend to tend to be comfortable and conservative.Only in turbulent times can the desperate people burst out with great courage and lead the people to the new century.

"Of course." Gu Hengsheng spread his hands, "I'm a wealthy person now, and I also want to build my hometown. But this broken system doesn't give me this opportunity at all. Do you think I can have no resentment in my heart?"

"You also know that Linguang is already a fifth-rank knight, one step away from being a powerful titled knight. She needs financial support, but as her younger brother..."

Gu Hengsheng shut up in the middle of his sentence, because he found that Chen's attention had been attracted by something.

It was a little Zarak girl, with big bright eyes and pink hair, and a collar that shone with electronic light around her neck.She was now watching the people passing by on Slave Street with curiosity.

Gu Hengsheng had to admit that at this moment, his heart softened.

Chapter 215 Chapter 213 Buying

It wasn't just Gu Hengsheng, when he saw those bright eyes, even Chen, who was a little cold on weekdays, seemed to have aroused the maternal love in his heart.Involuntarily, she said to Gu Hengsheng next to her, "That little girl is so pitiful, let's buy her, shall we?"

"Ah, this..." Gu Hengsheng just wanted to say that he had this intention, but when he saw that she spoke first, he nodded and said, "I think so too, so let's buy it."

"Yeah." Chen lowered his head, and then touched his wallet.Gu Hengsheng reached out to grab the back of her hand and stopped her: "No, I'll just pay for it."

The murderous intent seemed to be a little stronger in the surveillance gaze in the dark.

Chen didn't insist anymore, and the two walked towards the cage one after the other.The slave trader here was a fat middle-aged man of the Lupu ethnicity. Seeing Gu Hengsheng and the two of them coming over, he immediately realized that they should be the two young masters and young ladies.Such a guy is often a fool with a lot of money. If he operates properly, he can kill a fortune!

So, he immediately shouted, with a flattering smile on his face, and trotted towards Gu Hengsheng and the two of them: "Sir, miss, good morning. May I ask what kind of slaves do you need? The slaves under my hand are all But they are all versatile, proficient in playing, playing and singing..."

He introduced eloquently, but Gu Hengsheng was not interested in these.He went straight to the point, not planning to waste too much time on this guy: "Well, how do you sell it?"

The fat man stopped talking. He glanced at the little Zalak girl that Gu Hengsheng was pointing at, rolled his eyes, and already guessed that the two probably thought the little girl was cute, so they wanted to buy it back and keep it for fun.
