Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 598

Chapter 598: Magnolia City-Buying Slaves Chapter 598: Magnolia City-Buying Slaves [Outer Domain, Magnolia City] Falling Magnolia City is one of the biggest cities after Zhiwu City.

The city was bustling with people.

The businesses here were prosperous.

People from other domains always came to visit this city if they came to the Outer Domain to visit the beautiful magnolias during the early spring.

Unfortunately, now the magnolia trees that were planted in the city are covered in snow.

There were no flowers to see.

Nonetheless, the branches and trunks of the trees that were covered in ice and snow didn’t fail to add another unique beauty to the trees during the winter.

A figure inside a black cloak, wearing a silver mask carved with exquisite lotus patterns, stood outside of the biggest slave market in the city.

As she walked inside, she saw many huge cages imprisoning humans inside.

The slaves wore dirty robes, and dirt covered their bodies.

Some slaves were not inside the cages, but they walked around, wearing the collars around their necks.

The collars were for preventing the slaves from escaping and disobeying the will of the masters.

On each of the slaves’ collars, there were numbers for identifying them.

“Watch where you are going!” A fat man was walking around, holding a book to count the number of slaves.

He kicked a slave fiercely when the slave almost hit him.

“Go find your boss.” The person in the black cloak stopped in front of the fat man and spoke lightly.

“Who are you?

Tsk, pretending to be mysterious.” The fat man in a good hanfu was arrogant and didn’t pay attention to the figure in a normal cloak at all.

Because he didn’t sense any spiritual breath from her, he thought that she was a normal person pretending to look mysterious.

The coercion immediately pressed toward them.

“Please forgive the villain for not recognizing the strong one.

I’ll immediately go to find the boss.” The fat man sweated coldly as he held his fist and bowed.

He did not expect this person to be so strong.

He couldn’t see how strong this person was, but he knew that a small person like him was not able to provoke such a person.

He ran like he was flying in a certain direction.

Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared and saluted her.

“I’m Li Tong, the person who takes charge of the slaves here.

What can I do for you?” Li Tong said it respectfully.

“Oh, forgive me for my mistake.

Please come with me.” The man didn’t get her response, so he led her to a room with good furniture and gave her a seat.

The fat man ran out, and not long after, a servant came to serve them the tea.

“I want to buy them.” Shenlian Yingyue didn’t talk much nonsense but stated her intention directly.

She said the numbers on the collars of the slaves’ necks one by one.

“Pff!” Li Tong spat out a mouthful of tea.

The hands of the servant who served the tea trembled slightly.

He took a peek at the slender figure in the black cloak.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t see who this person was.

Shenlian Yingyue’s spiritual power stopped the tea that he sprayed out.

“Cough, this, are you sure about this?” Li Tong’s eyes flashed when he saw how skilled she was when she effortlessly did it.

She didn’t even ask how much was enough to buy them, which shocked him.

In the past, the richest man in the city only bought a hundred slaves from here.

A normal slave cost ten silver coins.

The stronger the slaves were, the more expensive they were.

An old slave was worth only fifty bronze coins.

Who was she?

What was her identity?

“I won’t repeat it.” She said it faintly.

“Please wait a minute.” Li Tong couldn’t express his shock here.

He stood up and went to his desk to take out a piece of paper to show her.

Shenlian Yingyue glanced at the paper that recorded the number of slaves and how much they were worth.

Li Tong’s brain worked well.

The moment she started to tell him the numbers of the slaves, his hand subconsciously moved, and he took note of all the numbers she called out.

When he counted them, there were a thousand of them.

She took out a bag full of purple coins and handed it to Li Tong.

Li Tong counted, and the number was correct, so he respectfully gave her 1000 papers that belonged to the slaves’ life deeds.

From now on, the lives of these slaves would belong to her.

Before she got out of the slave market, she told Li Tong to send the slaves to her place.

“Master, why don’t we buy all of them?” Xiao Li, on her shoulder, inside her cloak, asked in doubt.

“Even if I buy all of them, the slavery won’t stop, Xiao Li.” She responded to him.

Xiao Li was stunned.

“There is slavery everywhere.

Xiao Li, even if I set one million of them free, there will be more of them in the future.” “The forces that controlled the slave markets are not on this Spiritual Continent.” She stroked his head gently.

She has already investigated everything here.

“Even if I confront those forces one by one, the other forces will still emerge, and slavery will continue.

They will catch new people to be their slaves when the old ones are gone.” “Unless the entire world is united, or unless there exists a strong person who controls the entire continent, can this enslavement stop?” She sighed.

“I want to completely eliminate the enslavement, but I can’t do it now.

So, I can only save those who I can.” Xiao Li nodded with enlightenment.

It turned out that the master thought about every consequence.

To prevent pollution from polluting the ocean, one must find the main source of the pollution.

Similarly, if she wanted to solve the problems, she must find the source of the problems.

She did what she could.

Those one thousand people were all included, from young to old.

One thing that made her save them was her fighting spirit, her stubbornness to fight for life, and the brilliant light of wisdom in their eyes.

Some of the other slaves had lost the will to survive and fight.

Without the slave collars, they might have committed suicide a long time ago.

She would return and completely end enslavement everywhere.

But that required many things to be done.
