"4 silvers!"
"5 silvers!"
4 silvers? 5 silver? A family's monthly expense?
4 silvers equals 4000 bronze, and by modern times this was almost the same as a month's expenses. Off.. how attached was he to that strange world?
He even began to compare.
Now he felt himself in prehistoric times, just as those moderns say. But what could he do, this was his world.
He slowly approached the place where the voice and enthusiasm were.
These were the voices coming out of the auction room. Of course, it wasn't big and majestic. He missed the skyscrapers of modern times...
He looked around first. A stall selling ornaments was located to his left. A little further to his right was a tent.
He went to the tent first. There were people going in and out. Some are in iron shackles.
His eyes widened at the scene he saw. A filthy environment with no animals and people struggling here.
Slave trade.
He had forgotten this.
Slaves are common in underdeveloped countries. In developed places, there are servants, but the two are as different as the sky and the earth. Slaves are seen as property and their owner can even take his life...
Under previous laws, slaves were not considered human. He did not know this and overlooked it. As soon as he returns, he must begin his regulation of the law. The laws of modern times cannot be applied directly here.
He slowly left the tent and proceeded to the auction.
He was thinking about it even as he sat in the chair. The shortage of jobs is too great and entitlement to slaves makes things even more difficult, but it will not allow a decrease in influence, and excessive change can cause popular uprisings. Changes should start small. Just as the people can be noble, so should the slaves be citizens. Of course, the first thing to do is to subject the slaves to the same law. For a murdered slave, the owner must also be punished.
Unrest could spread across the kingdom just because he was involved in it, but who cares? He was the emperor and the people had to obey him. Whenever the people get rid of this superstition and backward culture, then they come to the level to argue with it. But right now they have to shut up and submit to authority. This pressure is not pleasant, however good it may be, but for a start it is the only thing this stubborn people can do.
"Vee- a really private slave next!" The shouting drew his attention to the stage.
"He may be a boy but he's still a virgin! Besides, looking at this gender-neutral beauty face, you won't even care if it's a boy!"
His eyes were darkening. The pressure was not even enough for the nation in this head...
He suppressed his emotions. If he was going to make a logical decision from now on, he wouldn't be able to butcher someone again every time he got angry.
Just like hitting the author with a pickup truck.
But as an example, when the laws are published, he will execute those who oppose him.
He was going to lower his eyes, taking a deep breath, when he raised his eyes again because of the spoken word, and turned to the boy in question!
"Also, this is not human, hehe" with a hideous smile, "it's a snake descended from dragons. You know, legend has it that dragons and snakes are related"
"Veran, a poisonous species."
Wavy long black hair hung on the floor. A tiny body, big green eyes and sharp sharp teeth. His appearance was exaggerated...
"He'll be a good helper when he grows up. The starting price is 10 silver!"
The stage was boiling. Today's treasure, this was his last special item!!
"11 silvers!"
"12 silver 400 bronze!
"13"
"..."
"Calm down huh...f*ck!"
Before he could control himself, he had already protected the boy who had appeared on the stage. He was looking sharply at the people there with the child he took in my arms, his face tensed, his face turned pale. Evidently, blood was pumping into his muscles in the name of serious fighting.
His eyes are sharper than ever.
"Who are you! Without paying-" The man slumped to the ground before he realized what was happening as he approached angrily. His head was separated from his body and rolled onto the stage.
The man holding the sword was muttering. No one heard anything but her laughter, but the child in her arms clearly did.
"Am I going to pay in my kingdom?" His voice was sarcastic.
He swung his blood dripping sword, putting the blood on it back into its sheath. The hall was already full of people running and running away.
A black smoke surrounded him, silently his body disappeared from there.
Ajin was remorseful, he couldn't control his emotions and gave this person a bad scene. scared? As far as he can remember, he was quite timid. However, he couldn't understand why he was clinging to her.
"This boy's hair wasn't black"
So that's why the egg wasn't there. It was already found, and he was already born.
We met again huh...
I'm back for you. While I'm gone...
Did you have a cocktail?
Did they treat you badly? If you want, I will destroy the whole kingdom on their heads.
I am sad.
Sorry.
I am wrong.
It was my fault.
I did not value you. I hurt you, I made you cry, I tormented you and I sent you to die.
But I'm back for you.
I'm sorry and I will make up for my mistake.
Please allow me for this.
I miss you.
Big green eyes stared at me. His eyes were already red and he started to sob. His sudden hug shocked me.
Maybe it was a boy's trust in his savior because I saved him. But the trembling of the tiny body in my arms was as unsettling as it was fueling my anger.
Her crying, her wail is so disturbing and heavy...
I felt for a moment that it was too little to destroy this kingdom as he was suffering here.
