When Tian Min mentioned the word "and", he suddenly stopped, which made me feel a little awkward.
After a while, Tian Min still had no intention of talking anymore. Nangong Fanxong, who was standing next to him, was the first to say uncontrollably: "What else can you tell me?"
Tian Min then smiled and said, "Also, I will become friends with you, very good friends."
There was something in Tianmin's words. When I asked him what he meant, he just emphasized that he would become friends with us, but refused to elaborate on the reason.
On the way to Beiqing City this time, we passed by many cities in the world outside the Sword Domain. Those cities cannot be said to be grand, but their scale is much larger than the big cities in the upper world of Pangu World.
The layout and structure of the city are also all kinds of strange, but the north and east of each city are almost forbidden areas. Especially the east of the city is all controlled by the big nobles, and the buildings in the east of the city are obviously much taller than those in the west and south of the city.
Along the way, I asked Tian Min if there were any slaves in their Tian family.
Tian Geng said: "Of course there is. There are many industries in the family. If there are no slaves to work, there will be no way to run them."
I asked them what kind of property Tianjia had.
Tian Min said: "Planting, mining, etc.!"
I asked again what to plant and what to harvest.
Tian Min said: "When you arrive at Beiqing City, I will take you to see it and you will know."
In a little more than two days, we arrived at the so-called Beiqing City.
In the outer world of Sword Territory, except for Snow Mountain City, other cities are located on the plains, as if the places where the cities in the outer world of Sword Territory are located are really the endless grasslands of the inner world.
Thinking of this, I looked up, maybe Yuan Jian was spying on our actions somewhere in the inner world.
And the surroundings of Beiqing City are truly endless grasslands. Occasionally, you can see some small villages on the grasslands, but those villages are all dilapidated. Occasionally, you see people coming out of those houses, and they are all wearing rags.
rotten.
I asked Tian Mi out of curiosity, are those people slaves?
Tianmin said: "Yes!"
I asked again: "Are slaves free? Aren't they supposed to be enslaved in the slave market and in the homes of nobles like you? Why can they move freely?"
Tianmin said: "They are not free, and the ones you see are not villages, but the collection points of the nobles. Their slaves get up before the double day comes out every day, and then go to collect the dew on the grass blades.
"
"After the sunset, something called Juyuan powder should be applied to those blades of grass. Each slave is responsible for an area of about seven or eight miles. No blade of grass can fall."
"If they don't do it right, they will face severe punishment. Moreover, each of them has a mark on their body. If they try to escape, they will die."
Hearing what Tianmin said, I went to check the plain carefully, and then asked: "Can the original power be extracted from the dewdrops collected?"
Tian Mi said: "Yes."
Mai Xiaorou asked from the side: "Are the dewdrops on all the plants in the upper world okay?"
Tian Min shook his head and said: "No, in the entire Sword Territory, there is only this piece of grassland around Beiqing City. It is said that this piece of grassland fell from the inner world to Beiqing City when the Sword God created the world of Sword Territory, so there is only
Only the grass on the grasslands around Beiqing City can gather the original power."
I asked again: "Can't you also feel the power of the source through practice?"
Tian Min said: "That's right, but in the original world, according to the rules of big nobles, small nobles, commoners and slaves, the extent to which each class of people can use the power of the source is different. If you want this heavenly law to give you
To gain more of your original power, you must continue to climb up and improve your status."
"If you are a slave, then according to the rules of the original world, you can only use the poorest original power. Naturally, the magical powers you cultivate are also mottled and cannot be used in the cards. Even if occasionally someone can get rid of those mottled powers.
It is only one of a million things to develop great abilities from the power of the original source."
I asked Tian Mi, what will happen to the collected dew?
Tianmi said: "Send it to a certain place for processing. It will be classified according to the grade of dewdrops and made into elixirs, tea, etc. Some of them will be kept for ourselves, and some will be sold."
I asked out of curiosity: "Selling? Do you nobles still need Talisman Jade?"
Tian Min said: "Of course it is needed. Each noble family produces different things. In order to obtain more resources, they need to exchange. If there is an exchange, 'talisman jade' must be used."
I said: "That's true, exchanging goods for goods is too inconvenient."
While we were talking, we had already crossed the grassland and stopped directly at the west gate of Beiqing City. Outside the city gate was a large square, and the Wanli beast cart stopped directly in the square.
After getting off the bus, there was a group of people at the door to greet us, to be precise, they were welcoming Tianmi.
Those people were all well-dressed, but they were not as good as Tian Min. They saluted respectfully when they saw Tian Min, but when they saw us, they ignored us and even rolled their eyes.
Most likely we feel that the clothes we are wearing are not worthy of recognition.
Even if we wear the badge of a minor nobleman on our waist, we cannot transform into the clothes of our original world, and they will think that our status is humble.
I don't care about those people either.
Tian Mi was still very polite to us along the way. He led us directly to the Tianjia in the west of Tianqing City. The Tianjia occupies a large area here, with more than a dozen streets, all belonging to his family.
Along the way, Tianmin also introduced us to the various industries of the Tianjia, and among these industries was the slave trade.
However, according to Tianmin, the slaves sold here are considered high-level slaves. They are either good-looking women or laborers with some cultivation skills, which are much better than the slaves in Nancheng District.
Of course, if you go shopping in Nancheng District, you can also find some good slaves.
If I hadn't gone back to Tianmi, in my opinion, treating people as commodities is an extremely sinful thing.
Soon Tianmin led us to the front of a special courtyard.
This courtyard is considered the best in the entire Tianjia area. The courtyard gate alone is hundreds of meters high.
Standing outside the gate of the courtyard is a twenty- to thirty-meter-long lion. It is not a stone sculpture, but a real giant lion.
I can feel that the lion's cultivation also has an emperor star.
Seeing me staring at the two lions, Tian Min said to me: "These are the gatekeeper lions of our Tian family. Among all the small nobles in Beiqing City, except for a couple from the Luo family, we are the only ones from the Tian family.
The other two minor aristocrats don’t have it.”
I nodded and said "Yeah".
Tian Min added: "Although these gatekeeper lions are not weak in strength, their intelligence is very low. Their only good thing is their loyalty. They will complete their master's orders even if they risk their lives."
As he spoke, Tian Min said to the gatekeeper: "These two are distinguished guests of our Tian family. From now on, they can come and go freely in the house, and you don't need to intercept them."
The two guarding lions nodded respectfully towards Tianmi.
Seeing the giant creature as well-behaved as a kitten, I couldn't help but feel cute.
But Tian Min soon said again: "Although they are docile now, they can be fierce when they attack, but they are terrifyingly ferocious."
Before I could say anything, a few people slowly walked out of the gate.
The leader was a woman in a long skirt and a glamorous dress. Her appearance was 70% handsome, 80% elegant, 90% delicate, and very indifferent.
There were several people following her, who looked like maids.
When she passed by us, she just glanced at us coldly. Tian Min saluted that person and said, "Sister."
The man just said "hmm" and then walked out of the gate with a few maids.
The maids saluted Tianmin respectfully.
At the same time, I also carefully sensed the strength of that woman. It seemed to be above three emperor stars. If there were too many, I couldn't sense it.
After the woman passed by us, Tian Min smiled and said to me: "That is my second sister, named Tianxing. She was born on the day when the sky was full of stars, so she got her name."
When it came to the stars, I couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of stars, after so many days in the original world, the night sky is always cloudy at night, why can't I see the stars?"
Tian Min said: "Because the starry sky has been sealed by Lord Yuanshen, you can only see it once every year on July 15th."
I whispered: "Ghost Festival?"
Tianmin asked me: "What ghost festival?"
I said: "In our world, July 15th is Ghost Festival."
At the same time, I also asked: "What's the calendar like here? Let me see if it's the same as in our world."
Tian Min said: "No need to ask. Similarly, I have met people in your world. Your calendars evolved from a book called "The Book of Creation", and those calendars were born in our world."
."
It seems that the "Book of Creation" has had a profound impact on our world.
I asked again: "By the way, Pangu is a sinner in your world, right? What is his status in your world? His surname is not among the nobility. Is he a commoner or a slave here?"
When I asked, Tian Min was stunned for a moment and said, "I can't tell you this."
I asked why.
Tian Wei said: "This is a topic that is forbidden to be mentioned in the original world. I advise you to speak less, otherwise you will be killed. I don't want to cause our Tian family in Beiqing City to be exterminated because of talking about these things."
."
so serious?
After hearing what Tian Min said, I had no intention of asking any more questions. (To be continued)
