Because magicians treat ordinary people with the arrogance of treating others as ants and inferior creatures.

If you put yourself in Xi'an's situation...

"The nobles and slave owners regard the slaves as ants, and Xi'an probably regards us as their new slaves. It is normal to have such arrogance..."

This actually sounds weird.

This town was named Rome.The citizens are all from the United Roman Empire.

The United Roman Empire as the Lost Belt has been reorganized from a slave empire to a feudal empire.

But in the final analysis, the Roman Empire was the most powerful slave empire in human history.

"Rome... we will not become slaves, and we will not produce slaves at the same time." Kazama said.

Except for inhuman creatures like goblins.

Speaking of which, the captured goblin coolies had completed their mission. They were driven as coolies before Avisbron was summoned, and most of them are now dead.

.............

On the other side, inside Xi'an City.

Although the nobles knew about the Forbidden Land, most people still didn't know about it.

However, the changes in Xi'an City cannot be hidden from some thoughtful people in the city.

For example, Ymir in the City Lord's Mansion.

She inquired about the news that the Forbidden Land had been opened, and Xi'an's mobilization of slaves and troops was obviously for the suddenly opened Forbidden Land.

Speaking of the Forbidden Land, there was a rumor spreading among the slave community in the past few months.

This rumor has actually been circulating for a long time, but it has only become popular recently.

Behind the forbidden land is a peaceful and peaceful place, where light and happiness exist.

Someone is secretly promoting the spread of this rumor, as for who it is.

The answer also emerged in Ymir's mind.

"Long time no see...Miss Ymir."

While Ymir was meditating in the deserted garden of the city lord's palace, that familiar hoarse voice surfaced in her ears.

Bai Mang appeared in front of her.

"Are you ready to chase the light?"

Bai Mang stretched out his hand and invited him.

Chapter 63 Rumors

"Your Excellency Baimao..."

Ymir bowed his head and saluted the ghost in black robe and white bone mask.

The first meeting with him was six months ago, and three months ago, this mysterious man appeared again, helping Genis settle Afu and solve his worries.

That time, Genis reached a cooperation with the person in front of him and learned his real name - 'Baimai'.

To be honest, the name Baimai is more like a nickname than a name.At that time, Baimao seemed to notice the two people's doubts and gave an explanation: "To be honest, I don't remember what my original real name was."

All in all, this is a very mysterious and unfathomable character.

"Your Excellency Bai Mang, you must have spread the rumor among the slaves."

Bai Mang did not deny Ymir's words, but said:

"Hope is very important. For the body that is dying and about to rot, hope is a wonderful medicine that brings the dead back to life..."

"Most of Xi'an's slaves are such walking corpses, and there is only hope to awaken their stagnant inner beings."

"That rumor says that behind the forbidden land is a peaceful and stable place. There must be a reason for this rumor to exist."

"Slaves will not save themselves. Except for a few slaves like you and Gnis who are willing to fight against fate, most of them are eager for external hope to lend a helping hand to them."

"What I'm doing is just pushing the boat along."

After listening to Bai Mang's words quietly, Ymir spoke softly.Because of Bai Mang's words, a certain guess in her heart was confirmed.

"That's not just a rumor, is it?"

Ymir said:

"At least, there is something behind the closed forbidden land."

"That's where you came from, and that's where your so-called 'human reason' forces exist."

"The Forbidden Land was only unsealed yesterday, and it seems that the contact between the two parties has just begun. But 'Human Reason' had discovered Xi'an long before that."

"Miss Ymir, you are very smart..."

Bai Mang nodded.

"In fact, the reason why we discovered Xi'an was because a slave broke through the mysterious lock in the forest and came into contact with us."

"That is a child named Asai, who has now become a subject of Rome. If there is a chance, you can meet each other."

Ymir could feel enough confidence from Bai Mang's words.

The fog in the forbidden land was probably opened by this force called "Human Reason" on its own initiative.

After understanding Xi'an's information, even though he knew that there was a high probability that he would confront Xi'an, he was still willing to take the initiative to contact him.

"What does 'we' mean to you?"

"Xian's strength lies in the army of the Unsullied, Master Osido who masters terrible spells, and the powerful warrior who can fight one against a hundred."

"We pose no threat to you."

The 'we' Ymir refers to are the slaves of Xi'an.Slaves did not play a big role in the conflict between the two major powers.

"It seems that Miss Ymir still has doubts. Just as Guinness and I stated what our Lord said..."

"I know." Ymir interrupted Bai Mang:

"To defeat evil is not to become evil itself, to climb out of the prison is not to become a master...this is what your lord said."

"If possible, I would very much like to pay a visit to your lord who said this..."

"My question is just..."

Ymir paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking about how to organize his words to express his thoughts.

"You're just wondering why he can save you and at the same time expect you to save yourself, right?"

"Indeed, from the perspective of the ruler, this would indeed be unnecessary."

"However, Master Kazama thinks it is definitely worth it."

"The shackles of a slave are not just the shackles on the body, not just the slave brand branded on the flesh. There are also shackles in the heart."

"It is true that saving others can unlock the shackles of material conditions, but only self-rescue is the key to unlocking the shackles of the heart."

"The order of human nature is integrated into Xi'an, and there is no need for any form of slaves."

"This is our commitment and our determination."

............

There are undercurrents surging beneath the seemingly calm surface among the slaves, who account for the vast majority of the population of White Stone City.

Xi'an's upper echelons didn't know about this.

In other words, the superior slave owners never really set their sights on the slaves.

Slave owners rule slaves, and slaves are ruled. To them, this order is like the absolute truth that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day.

The eyes of the upper echelons have been looking outside the city. Behind the suddenly opened forbidden land, there is a rich land that was developed for plunder.

On the outskirts of the forest where the fog has dissipated, a large number of coolie slaves were recruited here.They want to cut down the forest trees here to form a road that can easily lead to the back of the forest.

The slave overseers, who were also slaves, kept beating the coolies with the whips given by their masters, which represented rights.

The coolies numbly cut down the trees and then carried them away.

While walking through the forest, I often stepped on bones.

That's a human bone.

Fugitive slaves in the past fled into the forbidden land when they were desperate. Although a few lucky ones were able to successfully pass through the fog and enter the world behind the forest lock, most of them were lost in the white fog of the forest. Among them, he died of despair due to hunger and thirst.

Most of the bones are extremely fragile and will shatter completely with just the slightest touch.

The owner of the bones may have come from hundreds of years ago, or may be an ancestor of the slaves who now set foot on this land.

They did not want to survive under the oppression of Xi'an slave masters, and they did not dare to resist. They could only flee to a forbidden place where everything was unknown, looking for that slim hope.

The rumors that have been revived among the slaves recently are about this forbidden place.

'There is hope behind the forbidden land, which can bring freedom and happiness... '

Now that the Forbidden Land has been opened, this rumor seems to be confirmed at any time.

It's true after all - there really is some kind of light in front of the forest.

It's still false - the slave owners sitting peacefully in the city behind them still control their destiny.

What it is, it seems, will soon be revealed.

As the slaves advanced, the originally lush forest suddenly began to thin out.

There are no more trees, but a flat open space.

The land showed signs of being newly plowed, and it seemed that not long ago, there were areas where people were clearing the forest.

Chapter 64 Before the match

In the luxurious manor outside Xi'an City, Raph was sitting on the main seat in the hall.

The manor belonged to a slave owner he had commandeered.After completing the mobilization of the armed forces, Raph moved out of the city lord's mansion and came outside the city.

He was prepared to "conquer personally". At least, he did not plan to return to his mansion before completing the conquest of the towns behind the forbidden land.

The gorgeous robe he was wearing had been replaced by a pair of light leather armor that was close-fitting.There was also a set of metal armor on the shelf next to him.

The armor was very small, like something worn by a ten-year-old child, and it was obviously specially made for himself by Lavert.

And this armor costs a lot of money to make. It uses special materials and entrusts the casting master in the Healing City to make it.While being lightweight, it also maintains strong defensive power.

Although I left the City Lord's Mansion, I still couldn't let go of the enjoyment I should have had.

The wine flowed in his cup, and the dancer danced in front of him.

Just like he usually hunts wild people, he will bring a large number of followers with him even outside the city.He can rest assured and enjoy until he finds his prey.

After finding the prey, he put on armor, mounted a horse, and watched the prey run in front of him, and then was torn into pieces by the Unsullied.

While Raph was drinking, Osido, who was sitting next to him, was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Although the Forbidden Land has been unsealed, it still seems to have a certain residual influence, making his spying spells always somewhat unstable.Just in case, he was still preparing to go on the expedition with Raph.

Guard Burncom is wiping the fine iron sword in his hand.This sword was considered a commission for Raph to hire him before, and it was also made by Healing City.

Before Burncomb came to Slaver's Bay and accepted Laffer's employment, he was a notorious swordsman on the mainland.He was wanted for provoking a noble from the Kingdom of Mitland, so he wandered here and joined the White Stone City.

He is greedy and murderous by nature, and has committed many murderous crimes on the mainland.

The reason he encouraged Raph before was probably to satisfy his desire to kill.

Raph's favorite slave, the middle-aged dwarf who was the supervisor of the slaves in the city lord's palace, walked into the hall and lay humbly on the ground.

Raph waved the dancers back, then called the dwarf forward.

"what happened?"

The dwarf raised his head and said flatteringly:

"The road in the forest has been opened and you can enter it at any time."

"How come so fast?"

Before Raph could speak, Osido had already opened his eyes and asked first.
