Just when Slaine and others were trembling and feeling at a loss, Babu calmed down his momentum, put on a smiling face, and said kindly: "Everyone, you were hired by my brother, but since
You have made an agreement and you must obey my orders, otherwise you will not only get no reward but also be punished, do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Babu." Everyone quickly replied. After seeing his strength, almost everyone was afraid of him.
"Haha, very good, let me tell you about your work. Your main tasks include guarding the prison and taking care of slaves. If you want to end your work, you must explain it to me one month in advance. By the way, I would like to remind you that in
I can only apply to leave after serving three years in prison, which should be stipulated in the contract."
"Yes." everyone replied
"Okay, you can go to the foreman Kutono on the first floor, and they will arrange your specific work."
"yes!"
Everyone left the room. Zhan Chen walked up to Slane and said, "Brother, how long are we going to stay here?"
Slane smiled and said: "Didn't Babu just say that it will take at least three years? Imagine that we can get 6,500 top-quality star stones in one year, and it will be almost 20,000 in three years. This amount
The money is enough for us to spend for a long time. You have just arrived on Planet Jean not long ago, so I believe you need this money."
Zhan Chen frowned and said, "I just feel that both Batulu and Babu are not good people."
"Haha, Zhan Chen, don't think too much, mercenaries will not give up a mission with good rewards. No matter whether the client is good or evil, as long as we make money, it will be fine."
"I understand." Zhan Chen could only say this.
The group of people came to the first floor and found Kutono. Kutono was also from Bluebell. After understanding their basic situation, he assigned them a shift and arranged a dormitory for them. They were temporarily in prison.
Settled down inside.
Zhan Chen was also assigned his own room, which was in a corner on the fifth floor of the tower. When he came to the room, he looked around and found that it was just a very ordinary room with only a few pieces of furniture.
There is no such thing as a training room. Of course, you have to work almost every day here, so there is no time for retreat and training.
So, Zhan Chen lay on the bed and began to think about it. What was he thinking about? Of course it was the miserable condition of the slaves he saw in Atina. What a free existence a cultivator is, but now he is being
They were locked up with iron ropes and sold in the market at will, and most of them were members of their own race. Others could turn a blind eye to this, but Zhan Chen couldn't do that.
"If I have a chance, I will definitely liberate all these slaves!" Zhan Chen thought.
This was a bold and terrifying idea. Zhan Chen knew exactly what he would face if he did this, so he thought twice before taking action.
After a night's rest until the next day, Zhan Chen started his day's work. His first job was to patrol the third floor of the dungeon. He first went to the foreman Kutono to gather, and then followed him on duty.
went underground.
Climbing the spiral staircase deeper and deeper into the gloomy dungeon, and surrounded by adventurers he didn't know, Zhan Chen felt depressed and wanted to let it out right away.
At this moment, a demihuman with a pair of tentacles approached him and asked, "Hey newcomer, what's your name?"
Zhan Chen came to his senses and replied out of politeness: "My name is Zhan Chen, what's yours?"
"Ramos Weiss."
"What kind of star are you?"
"My hometown is a planet called Congilao, and my people call themselves the Horned Ones."
Zhan Chen smiled reluctantly. He had a headache remembering the names of these demihuman races. They always felt weird.
"Haha, you humans don't always come to us to take jobs, and you don't work for a long time. Mostly because you can't stand it anymore, so I think it's strange for you to come here alone." Ramos Weiss added.
.
"Why haven't we humans been here for so long?" Zhan Chen naturally asked again.
"That's because most of the slaves imprisoned here are from your human race. Most people don't want to see their compatriots suffer."
Zhan Chen frowned but said nothing.
At this time, they had arrived at the third floor of the dungeon. After entering the dungeon, Zhan Chen smelled a stench, and then saw rows of iron cages in front of him. All kinds of slaves were imprisoned in the iron cages.
As expected, most of them are his compatriots, including not only young and beautiful women, but also a considerable number of men and even old people.
In addition to the human race, he also saw many demi-human races and demon races, and they were all imprisoned in this place together.
At this moment, the team leader in charge of this duty turned to them and said: "Everyone, your mission is still the same. You are responsible for patrolling various areas on the third floor. By the way, you can check whether the shackles worn by the slaves have been removed.
Damage, as you know, although these guys are locked up, they are very dishonest. Once they break free, they will be in big trouble. When something goes wrong, we are all responsible."
"I understand, captain!" a group of people replied one after another.
Then everyone dispersed and started patrolling the third floor. Zhan Chen looked as he walked and found that the situation of the slaves here was very miserable. Most of them were disheveled and had heavy shackles on their hands. These shackles were engraved with powerful restrictions that limited their power.
, once they are brought with them, even the powerful Earth and Star Realm experts will be as powerless as a baby.
Zhan Chen, who had once been a prisoner, had a deep understanding of what it would be like for a person with power to lose it, so he saw some slaves frantically banging their handcuffs on the walls and iron bars in an attempt to destroy them.
, Unfortunately, this is doomed to be in vain. I don’t know what kind of handcuffs are made of, and they are extremely strong.
At this moment, Ramos Weiss, who was patrolling with him, shouted at the cage: "Stop knocking, do you want to suffer?"
The slaves stopped knocking and sat back on the ground obediently. Then Ramosweis said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, our usual job is to monitor these slaves to prevent them from breaking the shackles and cages and escaping."
Zhan Chen said: "I think they are all locked up tightly and cannot be used at all. How can they escape?"
"Don't underestimate these slaves. Many of them have special magical powers. Even if their power is limited, they can still escape without our monitoring. Similar incidents have happened in the past. After that incident, Batulu spent time
Money hires us adventurers to look after his slaves."
"What do you mean by similar incidents?" Zhan Chen was naturally curious.
"You want to know, well, let me tell you, let alone anything else, let me just talk about the most serious one. It happened in the deepest level of the prison. A slave with a stellar realm went berserk and almost destroyed the entire prison.
Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t work here at the time, otherwise I might have died too.”
"A slave in the Stellar Realm! How could a powerful person in the Stellar Realm be captured and used as a slave when he has extraordinary skills?" Zhan Chen asked in shock.
"How is it impossible? You have to know that Batulu himself has a cultivation level of three-star star realm. It is no problem to subdue a strong one or two-star star realm. Our master is famous for his boldness. He doesn't have much money.
If you don’t dare to make money, it naturally includes buying and selling powerful people in the stellar realm.”
"So is anyone buying it?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask again.
"Why is no one buying it? You know the effect of the master-servant contract, right? As long as you can make a master-servant contract with a strong person in the star realm, even if you only have the cultivation level of the quasi-star realm, a single thought can make the strong person in the star realm surrender.
, which has great temptation for some people with low cultivation level."
"So how much does it cost to buy a powerful person in the stellar realm?"
"Haha, that is naturally a number that we dare not think about. We low-level cultivators should not have extravagant expectations. We should just make money honestly and improve our cultivation."
"Ramos Weiss, then does it mean that the later the slave goes deeper, the higher the combat effectiveness of the slave?"
"Yes, the deeper you go, the stronger the guards we equip will be. Not only slaves live in the lower levels, but also a considerable number of star beasts. In addition to the slave business, Baturu also sells spiritual beasts, which is very profitable.
Buy and sell.”
Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I saw that some people were arranged on the schedule to take care of the star beasts."
"Yes, this is also hard work. The habits of star beasts are different. Some rare and exotic beasts are very delicate. They can easily die if you don't pay attention."
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "There is actually such a star beast. In my impression, star beasts are existences with strong combat power and tenacious vitality."
"Zhan Chen, your experience is still too shallow. The universe is full of wonders and wonders. Some rare and exotic beasts have no strength in themselves and are specially for people to enjoy. Their value is not inferior to those powerful star beasts. This is
It’s called the rare thing that makes it valuable.”
"I believe this. The consumption concepts of rich people are different from those of us."
"Yes, that's why I'm most afraid of being asked to take care of those rare and exotic animals. If they are killed, it won't be enough to even lose our fortune." Ramosweis sighed.
Seeing that he was willing to talk to him, Zhan Chen asked a lot about the dungeon, and finally had a general understanding of the entire dungeon.
The day passed quickly, and then he went back to rest, and then went on patrol the next day. The days passed calmly, and a month passed quickly. During this month, Zhan Chen went to the prison one after another.
Patrolling the third, fourth and fifth floors, I also gained a preliminary understanding of the structure of the entire dungeon through various aspects of understanding, and even became familiar with some of the imprisoned slaves.
There was always an idea in his mind, that is, how he could rescue the slaves in these dungeons. Of course, this idea only stayed in his mind, and he never told anyone about it, because it sounded too
It's not practical anymore, and it's not something he, a small five-star earth-star realm powerhouse, can do.
But he couldn't do what he wanted to do. Whenever he saw the miserable conditions of the slaves, Zhan Chen was always distressed and eager to end the mission as soon as possible. So one day after finishing work, he approached Si, who happened to be resting.
