With gold coins flying from the sky and a few impassioned oaths, Isabella successfully aroused the emotions of the slaves, allowing them to hold a swearing-in meeting in the arena with high spirits.
When this riot occurred, the rulers of Huangyan City had not yet reacted.
Therefore, the slaves quickly occupied the entire arena with their numerical advantage. The jailers resisted hastily, but were quickly dispersed by the passionate slaves and had to temporarily withdraw.
However, Isabella knew that although this group of slaves had a slight advantage, it was mainly because the enemy was not prepared. Fundamentally, they were still just a group of untrained rabble.
If you want to go head-to-head with an enemy who has a regular army, it's basically an egg against a rock.
Therefore, Isabella made a prompt decision. After looting all the stolen money and all the weapons in the arena, she immediately evacuated the arena and evacuated directly from the city before the gate of Barren Rock City was closed.
"Then where are we going?" a slave asked beside her.
Isabella didn't answer immediately.
What she needs to do now is to find a suitable place to set up camp and then fight.
Whether it was out of rational analysis or a vindictive temperament, Isabella's first reaction was to capture the tent where she was being auctioned as a commodity.
So, she quickly led the angry slaves, and in an extremely simple and crude way, took down the tent where the slave traders held the auction.
The bald middle-aged man who hosted the auction obviously didn't expect this to happen.
When the group of slaves angrily put shackles on him, snatched the whip from his hand, and handed it to Isabella, he stood there blankly, his face turned pale.
The exchange of roles between the two parties was so sudden and so full of drama.
Until the bald host was put in a cage, he still didn't come back to his senses and couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
"Now, you are the masters here."
Isabella held a long whip, stood on the high platform, and shouted to everyone.
At this time, the sun was shining on her body, her long silver hair was fluttering in the wind, and her face was fair and flawless. Her whole body seemed to be shining and she looked heroic.
Under the high platform, slaves in ragged clothes surrounded her, cheering and cheering.
Isabella had a bright smile on her face, but her eyes were a little dazed, as if she was thousands of miles away.
Although Isabella had her own initial team thanks to her adaptability in prison, she knew very well that the real difficulties were yet to come.
After today's riot, she will definitely become the lord of Barren Rock City, and even a thorn in the side of the entire Essa Empire. No matter where she goes from now on, she will be unable to move.
She was deeply worried about this.
When the sun was about to set, she found the bald auction host, stood in front of him, and asked him some questions about the current situation of the Essar Empire.
"I want to know," Isabella asked, "if I guess correctly, does the entire Essa Empire believe in the sun god?"
The bald middle-aged man nodded.
"Then are there other gods in the history of this plane?"
"Of course," the bald middle-aged man replied, "Before Nicholas the Great founded the Esa Empire, the residents of this plane originally believed in the God of War. But now, the throne of Nicholas the Great has been passed down to three generations, and the God of War
It has long been forgotten.”
"What about other than that?" Isabella actually wanted to find out about the messenger and the high priest Delphi. "Are there any beliefs that are spread privately among the people? They are the kind of gods that are not officially recognized by the empire.
?”
"Let me think about it...it happened about twenty years ago," the bald middle-aged man replied, "It was still the father of the current emperor, that is, when the second generation emperor of the empire was in power.
"At that time, in Luoxue Town near the capital, a pagan group appeared, which seemed to believe in a heretical god called the God of Darkness or the God of Night.
"However, just when the empire was planning to send troops to deal with them, they seemed to disappear out of thin air in Luoxue Town, and their whereabouts could no longer be found. This operation could only be abandoned."
After hearing this, Isabella was silent for a long time. After a while, she slowly spoke:
"Twenty years ago? Are you sure?"
The bald middle-aged man nodded with certainty: "That's what the historical data says."
Isabella fell into thought.

Essar Empire, Oak Town.
This evening, as promised, Catherine came to Allen's cabin and asked Allen for magic.
Allen knows that the talent for learning magic lies not only in spiritual power and elemental affinity, but also in self-learning ability and understanding.
So, he wrote down the first two pages of "Introduction to Magic" from memory, added some mathematical notes, and handed it to Catherine.
"Read it for yourself first, and if you don't understand, ask me," Allen said with a smile. "If you follow the instructions on the paper, you can feel the magical elements in nature, which proves that you have the talent to learn magic."
"Um."
Catherine nodded seriously, took the paper from Allen's hand, then sat quietly in the corner of the wooden house and began to read the contents of the paper carefully.
Allen was curious about how long it would take for Catherine to feel the existence of the magical element.
It only took him a blink of an eye.
Merlins spent an hour and a half.
It took Howard two hours.
They are all considered to be top-notch geniuses in the field of magic.
Catherine...she can't be shorter than Howard, right?
Thinking of this, Allen smiled, returned to his desk, and continued to look through the historical materials of the Essar Empire.
Recently, he learned from these historical data that when the Essar Empire was first established, it was originally a slave country.
Slave owners treated slaves as livestock, forced them to work, traded them like commodities, and even drove them into the arena and asked them to kill each other.
Although many years have passed, the smell of blood revealed between the lines in historical data still makes Allen feel a little uncomfortable.
However, more than seventy years ago, the third generation emperor of the Essa Empire, the grandfather of the current emperor, under tremendous pressure, announced the abolition of slavery.
"Why did he do this?" Allen was a little confused.
Because he knew that the emperor's behavior had offended almost all slave owners across the country. From a profit perspective, it could be described as "stupid".
As for "mercy" and "fraternity" recorded in historical materials, Allen didn't believe even a word of it.
With doubts, Allen turned back a few pages of historical information.
Then he saw this passage
"In addition to the important court officials recorded before, there was also a mysterious lady who assisted the emperor in carrying out the slavery reform.
"She single-handedly separatized the three major northwest provinces of the empire. She came and went without a trace. She was invincible in every attack and invincible in every battle.
"No one knows her origins.
"No one knows where she is.
"Because she has dazzling silver hair, she is called the Silver Lady in history books."
