Tower of Babel

Zhang Cheng was very unfamiliar with the slave trade. After entering civilized society, people began to talk about human rights, laws, and emotions, although now it is cliché to talk about money. Marriage is like selling a daughter, but it is definitely not a slave trade.

No matter how objectified it is in today's society, it is a folk custom. Rather than the law, modern law is opposed to the objectification of people themselves, and contracts of sale and personal dependence are not allowed by modern law. However, in feudal society, the law supported this system. Especially in a feudal system like the foreign world, which is close to Western medieval society.

After the deed of sale is taken out, it has the seal of the Herman Empire government. The status of domestic slaves of Jelena and others is officially recognized, and the samurai swear allegiance. As domestic slaves, samurai used their allegiance in exchange for better treatment. They could receive education, learn martial arts, magic and other professional knowledge, and enjoy a certain salary and private property. However, there is still a personal dependence relationship with the master, and everything about oneself is still owned by the master.

However, as a slave who is loyal to and serves his master, the slave is as big as the master is. This is also a kind of honor. The closer you are to your master, the more powerful you will be. Therefore, both male and female warriors like to serve their masters personally.

In this system, you give slaves their freedom. , slaves will thank you, but samurai will not, because this means that they are laid off or fired. If they leave their master, they will not live better, on the contrary, they will be worse. A samurai only cares about whether his master is strong or not. Leaving their master means not only losing their food, clothing, and parents, but also losing their master's authority.

No matter how sad and sad Jelina is, and how many agencies are plotting against her, she still has to admit that Zhang Cheng is her master and possesses everything she has. Even if Jelina and others were filial piety and their husbands and parents were newly deceased, who on earth would have thought that they would just hastily hold a funeral that day?

The next day, Telina, together with her sister and daughter, knelt in front of Zhang Cheng and asked for a background brand. The brand was a symbol of slavery. Men were slapped on the face, and women were slapped on the back, but the samurai swore allegiance. For high-level slaves, both male and female are branded on their backs on the open side of the net, mainly with the family crest or the name of the master, which is called the background.

Jelena's family are all domestic slaves, and they are high-level warriors among the domestic slaves. Just like the fat sheep raised in the family sheepfold do not need to be branded, but once they are sold, they must be branded by the new owner. Branding, the custom of warriors in this world, in earth terms, is suffering from severe Stockholm Syndrome. Branding with a red-hot iron is a very cruel and painful thing no matter how you look at it. However, from the perspective of the samurai class, it is It is very sacred to be recognized and given status by a new owner. On the other hand, if the new owner fails to mark himself, it would be a shame, and it may even lead to his committing suicide.

The three beauties half-undressed. Bare your shoulders and back, waiting for the master to mark you, waiting for the moment of glory. Although Zhang Cheng doesn't like things like brand tattoos, he has no choice but to do as the Romans do and you won't make others unhappy. After the three women screamed, Zhang Cheng asked them to go down and recuperate.

If Zhang Cheng hadn't been tricked twice by Michelle and hired a customs consultant overnight to learn the customs and habits of warriors and nobles, I'm afraid it wouldn't just be a joke, but someone would be killed.

According to the customs consultant, this world is completely different from the earth due to the existence of soul crystals. There is no custom of mourning or burial. After death, the soul crystals are taken out for worship and the body is directly cremated. Since the deceased can still be with the living in their soul state and must rely on their relatives to be reincarnated, the living will not be prosperous and the dead will be uneasy. Therefore, the customs and habits of this world are to pursue life rather than death. Jelena's family soon came out of their grief, and they drank and talked with Zhang Cheng, laughing on the bed.

Although Michelle was promised to be killed, there was not much sadness left. Jelina, her sister, and her daughter were all specially trained personal bodyguards of the Michelle family. They were not only proficient in various martial arts, but also proficient in various ways of entertaining people. , the service is very attentive. But Zhang Cheng always has the feeling that people are separated from each other and don't know what they are doing.

Even while enjoying himself, Zhang Cheng could not relax his vigilance. From beginning to end, the three robots and the three snipers were secretly eyeing the three women. Although Zhang Cheng is not from the upper class, he has read a few historical articles and watched a few historical TV dramas. He always felt that things were a bit strange. The incident between Mihir and Telina couldn't help but remind Zhang Cheng of a historical allusion. ——It is necessary to avoid assassination.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, when King Helu of Wu tried to assassinate Qingji with a bitter plan, he first killed Yao Li's whole family and created a so-called deep hatred, thereby gaining Qing Ji's trust and putting Yao Li in a good position. As a result, Qing Ji was arrested by Yao Li. Seize the opportunity to assassinate and die.

So even if he rolled on the sheets for a few days, he still couldn't make Zhang Cheng relax his vigilance. After all, this world is a magical world, and his attainments in soul technology are no less than Zhang Cheng's. Each hacker battle has its own tricks. You can’t say who will have the last laugh. It’s not impossible to hide a small virus or something and launch a fatal blow at a critical moment. There is such a method in Xu Changqing’s last inheritance, but you know the principle. It's one thing, but looking for something is another. It's like being a master of disguise and finding a hidden target is completely different. You can't say you know how to disguise yourself. You can't hide after just one look at someone.

Besides, who knows whether the families of these three women are dead or not? Zhang Cheng has the technology to resurrect in a cloning vat. Although he is not a good person and resurrects Jelena's husband, he has thought about resurrecting his parents. After all, Chinese people attach great importance to filial piety. But after checking the soul crystal sent by Michelle, The remaining DNA on it showed that they were not Telina's parents at all. There is definitely something fishy here. Even if Zhang Cheng could be reborn, it would be too shameful to be assassinated. It would be even more shameful to be assassinated in a woman's belly! It would be even more shameful to let the assassin run away!

So this kind of intimacy is not so much the love between a man and a woman as it is the mating of a mantis - Zhang Cheng doesn't like or want this in a moment of fear of life and death. But if you don't do this, you will appear to be illogical and indifferent. Frivolous to Telina's family. It will also make Michelle wary, so she has to act on occasion. Pampered for a few days and played some tricks. Whether it's a cat playing with a mouse or a hypocrite, Zhang Cheng decided to keep playing with Michelle. Let’s see what kind of Three Thousand Ghost Painting Talisman he has. In Zhang Cheng's opinion, this is just a puzzle game.
