Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

"Then I'm really lucky..."

After hearing what Pasa said about the city lord's dinner that would be attended by all the nobles in the city, Bai Mang, who was watching all this with cold eyes, couldn't help but feel moved.

PS: Something happened today, so the update is late.

Chapter 48 Inside the Palace

It was already afternoon when Bai Mang arrived at Pasa Manor, not long before the city lord's dinner was held.Bai Mang simply stayed at Pasa's manor and attended the dinner with Pasa when the time came.

When it was getting late, the slaves from the city lord's palace came to report. Pasha, who was watching the slave girls singing and dancing, got up and took Baimao to the city lord's palace in a carriage.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Xi'an and is itself a large manor.Different from the local stones collected from the nearby open-pit quarry in the construction of Xi'an, the stones used to build the buildings here are more delicate. The city lords of previous generations spent a lot of money to purchase and transport them here from the northern mainland.

There are many rare animals, plants and flowers, majestic stone sculptures, and even artificial fountains in the park.

"This is your first time coming to the City Lord's Mansion...it's beautiful, isn't it?"

The carriage stopped outside the City Lord's Mansion and walked into the garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Pasha said to Bai Mang.

"Indeed, I heard that the palace of our city lord in Xi'an is the most built building in the Three Stone City. It seems that it is well-deserved."

"The best of the three-stone city... It's an exaggeration to say so. Whether it's the black stone or the blood stone, their city lords are no less romantic and great figures than our city lords. Their mansions and buildings also have their own characteristics, and they are no different. .”

"Of course, if I had to choose the best one, I would still choose our Xi'an."

Bai Mang nodded and said:

"The architectural style is a bit like the Kusha Empire on the mainland. I heard that the Lord of the City is an admirer of Emperor Gnishuka?"

Baimai's speaking skills are excellent. How to grasp the direction in daily conversations and obtain the information he wants is also an important part of his espionage ability.

Pasa didn't realize that he was being guided. On the contrary, he felt inexplicably comfortable as Timos looked like he had never seen the 'world'.

"That's right..."

Pasha nodded:

"The Great Emperor Gnishuka of the Kusha Empire is indeed a genius. He stood out among the many descendants of the previous emperor. After he came to power, he wielded the iron hoof of Kusha and almost ruled the southwestern part of the continent."

"The power of this emperor is spread even in this bay..."

Using absolute power and spreading fear, Emperor Ganeshka is also called the 'Fear Emperor' by those who admire him and those who fear him.

Especially in the city-state of Xi'an, after all, the Kuxia Empire occupies the majority of Xi'an's slave export trade.

"Emperor Gnishuka is in his prime. He is similar in age to our city lord, not much older. Such great achievements are naturally enviable and desirable."

The Lord of Xi'an City loves hunting, and there may be some reasons for this.However, they were only hunting fugitive slaves who could not resist, so the city lord was somewhat dissatisfied with the wild people.

"only..."

Having said this, Pasa paused:

"In my opinion, our land is already excellent."

"That continent is vast and rich in assets, but it is always shrouded in the shadow of war. In comparison, our land is a rare place of order."

"Order is such a good thing..."

"A few hundred years ago, this bay was also in chaos, with many city-states fighting endlessly."

"If it weren't for the White Stone City built by our ancestors, we might still be in a selfless and meaningless fight."

"Is this the same for slaves?" Bai Mang said calmly.

Pasa was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

"Of course. Without the order we established, these slaves would still be in an inefficient and chaotic state. They would spend most of their time fighting for food and women, and they would be no different from wild beasts."

"And now, precisely because of the order, these slaves have 'value', they are distributed by us, some of them mine, some of them grow food.... We have freed them from inefficient fighting behavior. You see, in just a few hundred years, this bay has become so prosperous precisely because of the establishment of order."

Seeing Pasa's proud look, Bai Mang nodded and smiled:

"Exactly so, in praise of...order."

As they walked forward, passing through luxurious and beautiful gardens, they came to a luxurious palace, and the conversation between the two came to an end for the time being.

The slaves in gray robes were here to greet them, and the nobles in white robes and their families walked inside and outside the palace.

Two beautiful female slaves dressed in gauze were responsible for welcoming Pasa and Baimai.

The City of Three Stones treats slaves as commodities, and these female slaves are undoubtedly high-value commodities, specially imported from Tandan, the City of Bloodstone, which is good at training singing and dancing girls.

Under the guidance of the female slave, the two walked into the palace.The garden outside is luxurious enough, but this palace is even more luxurious.

The polished floor was paved with exquisite carpets, embossed and satin everywhere, and thousands of candles were lit on gilded candlesticks, making the palace shine like daytime.

A lot of people have gathered in the palace. Except for the serving slaves, they are all nobles in white robes. They are sitting in front of the table and chatting with their friends.

Baimao was also assigned a desk, but the position was very far back.Pasa's position was quite forward. The dinner was about to begin, and the two of them parted ways here.

Bai Mian chatted enthusiastically with the lower-ranking nobles who were also at the bottom of the ranking, but the others seemed a bit indifferent.There seems to be a chain of contempt among the Xi'an nobles. Nobles like Deimos who bought their status with money belong to the bottom of the chain.

Bai Mang didn't care, and his mind wasn't on this meaningless exchange.Using chatting as a cover, he observed everything in the palace with cold eyes.

In the very center of the palace is a high platform, which belongs to the Lord of Xi'an City.

There are two seats not far below the high platform, and the ones sitting there are not Xi'an nobles.

One is the position of the city lord's personal guard. At this time, the city lord is still out, so this position is naturally vacant.

There was also a white-haired old man sitting in another seat, wearing a dark blue robe.With his eyes closed, he seemed to be in a trance.

There is extraordinary power in this world, and this old man is an aboriginal human who possesses this extraordinary power.

This is a mage who is respectfully called 'Master Theodore' in Xi'an City.

Bai Mong calmly looked away, and Theodore on the stage also opened his eyes at this moment.

Although he is old and looks to be 80 or [-] years old, his eyes are not cloudy, but are extremely clear.

Theodore glanced around the palace with some doubts. Just now his spirit was touched and he felt a vague sense of uneasiness.

When Theodore began to wonder if he was delusional, two more people stepped onto the high platform.

One is a strong man with a muscular body, muscles covered with scars, and a long sword at his side.

The other was a short middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe.

Chapter 49 Program

The two new people who entered the palace are the current lord of Xi'an, the White Stone City, and his personal bodyguards.

After the protagonist of the banquet appeared, the originally noisy palace gradually became quiet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Mang generously observed the high platform.Compared to Master Theodore who lives in seclusion, the Lord of Xi'an City and his guards can often be seen.

The city lord of Xian is named Raph, and he is a very arrogant person.

He loves hunting and banquets. When Bai Mang was still lurking as a slave, he had seen this city lord patrolling in the city.

His personal bodyguard was named Burncom, a powerful warrior.This world has a way to obtain extraordinary power called 'baptism'.Bernkom is a warrior who has been baptized and whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Like the mage Theodore, he was not considered a member of Xi'an, but a guest invited by the city lord Raph at a large price.

Raph and Theodore greeted each other. To ordinary people, mages with magical powers were obviously more awe-inspiring.

The baptism of warriors can be carried out through secret medicine, but the practice of mages depends entirely on talent. The number of mages is far rarer than that of warriors, and their status will of course be more respected.

After Raph greeted Theodore, he took his place together with guard Burncom.

Looking at the Xi'an nobles and his subordinates below, Raph smiled.

He raised the golden cup on the table in front of him: "Good evening, gentlemen, I hope you can enjoy this wonderful night with me."

The Xi'an nobles under the high platform also raised their drinking utensils in return to their city lord.

After drinking the wine, Raph's smile became even brighter, and he spoke again:

"Well, before dinner begins, let's enjoy the usual entertainment."

He picked up the golden bell at hand and swung it gently.

A crisp bell rang, and footsteps were heard outside the palace. A group of soldiers wearing black armor entered the palace. They held spears and escorted the three people.

These soldiers are the armed forces owned by Xi'an, the Unsullied.As for the three people escorted by the soldiers, they were naked upper body and wearing a pair of trousers. They looked very thin.

The three young men were all only around sixteen or seventeen years old. Two of them had similar looks and seemed to be brothers.

After entering the glorious palace.One person showed some fear and his body was shaking constantly.The brothers pursed their lips and looked at the white-robed nobles in the palace, their faces full of hatred.

None of the three people have the mark of slaves on their bodies, and their malnourished appearance makes it even less likely that they are free citizens of Xi'an.

There was only one possibility for being escorted by soldiers. They were the 'wild people' who came back from hunting during the day by the city lord Raffer.

The leader of this group of Unsullied soldiers was a dwarf wearing a gray brocade robe. He was shorter than the Lord of Xian City, who was about 1.5 meters tall.

He climbed out and rolled out, causing everyone in the palace to laugh.

The dwarf is the favored slave of the city lord Raph, and is also the supervisor of the many slaves in the city lord's mansion.

He knelt down to say hello to his master and all the guests, and then asked the master if he wanted to start the show.

City Lord Raph nodded lightly with a smile on his face.

After receiving the master's order, the dwarf jumped up from the ground and came to the three teenagers with leg and handcuffs.

"I told you the rules before we got here."

The dwarf took out an exquisite hourglass and showed it in front of the three people.

"Let's fight each other fiercely... As long as the opponent is killed within the specified time, the winner will live and become Xi'an's slave. Otherwise..."

The dwarf suddenly took out a short knife from his arms and stabbed the frightened and frightened young man in the wild. He forcefully peeled off the young man's lower abdomen and was restrained by shackles. The young man could not resist at all and could only The wailing sound gradually became silent.

The dwarf took back his dagger and took out his handkerchief to wipe the blood-stained blade in his hand.

"The rules of the game...understand?"

The two fraternal teenagers did not speak, but the dwarf smiled and nodded.

"It seems that you already understand, let's get started and work hard to survive."

He waved two identical iron swords and handed them into the hands of the two teenagers. Then he asked the Unsullied soldiers to open their shackles and put their torsos on the round platform in the center of the palace.

The Dirt Ones guard under the round platform to prevent accidents.

The two brothers stood on the circular platform and looked at each other. The hourglass was placed on the edge of the circular platform, and the sand was constantly flowing down from the gap.

"Sorry, brother."

The older of the two brothers held the iron sword tightly in his hand. He yelled and rushed towards his younger brother who seemed to be in a daze.

The iron sword was raised high, but the young man suddenly stopped and threw it hard towards the high platform in the distance behind the round platform.

The iron sword slipped in mid-air and fell to the ground weakly, without hurting anyone.

The nobles of Xi'an are all in safe positions at a certain distance from the round platform, not to mention the Lord of Xi'an who is sitting on the high platform.

The boy's move is more like expressing an attitude and a kind of resistance.

"You devils! Sooner or later you will be punished. I curse you..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy was stabbed through with a spear... The dwarfs in the audience were furious and ordered the Unsullied to execute him.

The younger brother seemed to be frightened by this scene. After reacting, he roared and charged towards the Unsullied soldiers with his iron sword.But the next moment, he was stabbed by indifferent soldiers.

Compared to the well-trained Unsullied, the two of them were just playthings like chickens.

The dwarf asked the blood stains on the round platform to be cleaned, and then lay down on the round platform to ask for atonement from the master.

Fortunately, the city lord Raph didn't let this incident affect his mood, he just waved his hand.

The dwarf apologized and left the round platform, and soon two more strong men walked onto the round platform.

The muscles of these two strong men were like iron. Their dark skin was brushed with olive oil and looked smooth. They exuded a sense of power, like wild beasts in the jungle.

However, both of them were branded with the slave mark belonging to Xi'an.

The audience behind the round platform cheered, and the city lord Raph on the high platform even smiled.

Obviously, the entertainment program before the banquet was also staged.The two young wild men could only be said to be dispensable appetizers.Now is the show to really look forward to.

The dwarf climbed onto the high platform again and said to the two of them:
