The first thousand two hundred and eighty-seven chapters under the darkness of prosperity
Zhan morning followed the flow of people into the city. He found that the gate guards of Atina did not come up to ask for any entry fees from them like the guards in other cities. He was curious and asked Slane: "Brother, Atina
Don’t you need to pay an entry fee or apply for a citizen card?”
Slane shook his head and said: "No, because the demihumans think differently from us. They don't value the city entry fee at all, so there are so many people coming to Atina."
Without Slane's explanation, Zhan Chen had already realized that there were all kinds of people everywhere on that spacious road, and it was difficult to even pass a car. Moreover, most of these people were demihumans, not just Lanling.
There are also other races, some of them have horse faces, some have legs on their heads, and some have long manes on their bodies, which makes people dazzled and applauded.
The enthusiastic Slane kept his mouth busy and introduced Zhan Chen all the way. He only heard him say: "Zhan Chen, have you seen it? The one with a horse face is a Kaqixing star, and the one with a pig head
It’s from the Enbo planet…”
Listening to his story, Zhan Chenyou learned a lot. After a while, he asked back: "Brother Slane, how many kinds of demi-humans are there here?"
Slane replied: "There are probably a hundred kinds at least."
"So many!" Zhan Chen said in shock.
"That's natural. You don't know how famous our planet Jean is in this star field. Naturally, there are many people coming here, even from other star fields. Not only the demi-humans, there are also many monsters here.
Compared with the demi-human race, the demon race is closer to us humans, because they are transformed into bodies according to our human race. You don’t know, our human race is recognized as the most elegant and noble-looking race in the universe.”
"So we humans still have this kind of status!"
"Yes, so most of the top 100 people in the previous 'Goddess' beauty pageants are from our human race." Slane said casually.
"'Goddess' selection competition, what is that?" Zhan Chen asked again. This was the first time he had heard of this term.
"The 'Goddess' Beauty Pageant is said to be the highest-level beauty pageant recognized in the universe. It is only held every 100 million years. It is held on a ninth-level planet called Yingliu Star. To be honest, I have only heard of it.
This competition is just a name, I don’t know where it will be held.”
"The highest standard in the universe? How big is the universe? Can a mere beauty pageant dare to say that it represents the entire universe?" Zhan Chen questioned.
"Haha, Zhan Chen, I can't answer the question you asked, but it is said that when the Goddess Beauty Contest is held, even the Lords of the Star Territory will come several times. You know that the Lord of the Star Territory is the strongest person in the universe.
, a star domain lord can rule an entire universe and hundreds of millions of galaxies, so it is not unreasonable for this beauty contest to be so popular among everyone."
Zhan Chen still didn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "I think it's just an exaggeration."
"Haha, if you just have a chance to see it with your own eyes in the future, I have no hope. My cultivation level is low, and my potential has been exhausted. I am no more young than you and still have a lot of room for growth."
"Brother, why did you say this? It's really hard to tell about this opportunity. In the future, you may also encounter adventures that will make your cultivation improve by leaps and bounds."
"I'll lend you my blessing. Let's go. I'll take you to try the special delicacies of the demihumans."
"OK!"
The next few people happily found a restaurant to taste the delicacies of the Blue Bell tribe, then went shopping on the street and bought some commemorative trinkets. Zhan Chen was in a relaxed mood. He felt that he had not been so relaxed for a long time.
.However, he also felt deeply that he was short of money and could hardly buy anything decent.
The group of people wandered around and came to the Fangshi area. The Fangshi area was even more lively, crowded with people and cultivators choosing products. Zhan Chen looked around and found that his cultivation level here could only be considered to be at a medium to low level. Most of them
He couldn't see through people's cultivation, so he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there were so many strong people in Atina."
Slane also sighed: "Yeah, I can only be considered a middle-lower class. Strong people in the stellar realm are not uncommon here, so we have to be careful to avoid offending some beings who shouldn't be provoked."
"Yes, the strong are respected. They will crush us as easily as crushing an ant." Zhan Chen nodded.
"But Zhan Chen, you don't need to be so nervous. At least we are absolutely safe in this city, because Yatina is guarded by many high-level stellar realm warriors, such as Varna, the city lord of Yatina. It is said that his
The cultivation level has reached the Seven-Star Star Realm, so ordinary characters will never dare to cause trouble, otherwise they will be killed on the spot."
"The seven-star star realm is incredible. It's a height we can't imagine."
"Haha, without further ado, let's go shopping in the market. Maybe we can find some good treasures."
"OK."
Next, a few people followed the crowds and shuttled through the markets. Zhan Chen often stopped to pick and choose in front of some stalls. However, due to the lack of money, he didn't buy anything in the end. The things here were really good.
It's very expensive. The same thing is more than a hundred times more expensive than Taihao Star.
At this moment, a corner of the street caught Zhan Chen's attention, because he suddenly found that many people were gathered in that place, and they were all demihumans. He couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, and said to Slane and others: "
I'll go over there and have a look."
After hearing what he said, Slane's expression changed. He took Zhan Chen's arm and said, "Zhan Chen, don't go. Let's go see it somewhere else."
Hearing what he said, Zhan Chen felt even more curious and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Liena also came up to persuade: "Zhan Chen, it's better not to go. I'm worried that you will be in a bad mood after seeing it."
"No, I'll just take a look." Zhan Chen said with a smile. He turned around and walked towards the gathering crowd. When he separated from the crowd and looked inside, he couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that what he saw was many shackled humans. Most of them were beautiful women, but there were also a few handsome men. They were stripped naked and displayed naked, while the demihumans next to him were facing them.
They pointed.
Unfortunately, Zhan Chen has learned the language of Zeen and knows what they are talking about.
Just listen to a demi-human say: "Curabas, the quality of this batch of goods is good, you are going to buy a few back."
Another replied: "Haha, I want to buy it back, but is this realistic? I am interested in numbers 33, 59 and 186. Don't follow me when bidding later.
Fight."
"I'll leave numbers 33 and 186 to you, but I also like the human beauty on number 59, so I have to compete with you on this one."
"No, isn't it just a plaything? Give it to me. Maybe you can buy something better at the next auction."
…
Hearing this, Zhan Chen clenched his fists tightly. He already understood what kind of place this place was. It turned out to be a slave auction house, and the people auctioned were all compatriots of their human race.
At this moment, a hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him out of the crowd. Zhan Chen turned around and saw that the person pulling him was Slater. Slater sighed: "Zhan Chen, I
I don’t let you see it but you have to see it. Doesn’t it make you feel bad?”
"Our human slaves are openly auctioned in the market. Does Atina even allow this?" Zhan Chen said angrily.
"Oh, I've long been used to it. It's not surprising. In fact, it's not just Atina. There are many slave auctions in cities across the planet of Zeon. This is what everyone agrees to do. Atina not only auctions our human slaves,
We also auction demihumans and monsters.”
"I don't understand, how did these people become slaves?"
"Those who become slaves in everything are usually those with low cultivation. However, there are also strong men who are defeated by their enemies and become slaves by planting a master-servant contract in their bodies or souls. As long as the slave master masters the contract, he can become a slave with just a thought.
Decide the other person’s life or death.”
"Can the master-servant contract also be transferred?"
"Yes, it is not difficult to do this on the planet of Gene. You just need to use a special ritual to transfer the contract to the jade talisman. As long as the buyer can get the jade talisman with the contract, he can control the slave's identity.
Even if they die, those slaves will not be able to resist for the rest of their lives."
"So is there a way to solve it?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you know this?"
"It's nothing, I just want to know."
"Zhan Chen, don't think about rescuing slaves. There are so many strong people in Atinana. I just held you back because I was afraid that you would be impulsive and cause a big disaster."
"It's nothing, I just want to know."
"Well, there are two ways. The first is to get the jade talisman that controls the slaves, and then become the slave's master. The master can automatically terminate the slave contract. The second is to take these slaves far enough away and plant them on jade.
After all, the soul contract in the talisman is different from the one planted in the soul. If the slave leaves the master too far, the master will no longer be able to sense them through the jade talisman, unless the master makes a new soul contract through a ceremony."
Zhan Chen's eyes lit up and he murmured: "Are you saying that as long as these slaves are rescued, it is possible to completely liberate them?"
"That's right. But Zhan Chen, don't think about it. If your cultivation level is so low, if you want to rescue the slaves, you really don't want to live." Slaine quickly reminded.
Zhan Chen smiled and said, "Brother, I'm just asking casually, how can I actually do it?"
"Haha, I see you're still not confused. Let's go and see the Adventurers' Union in Attina."
"good."
Slane pulled Zhan Chen back and walked back. However, Zhan Chen looked back at the direction of the slave auction house and secretly made up his mind: "These slaves are so pitiful. If possible, I must try every means to save them."
