Alien Knights

Chapter 467: A trip to the market (part 2)

   Following Fried's back, Maeve wandered in the bazaar, gradually slowed down by everything in front of her.

Fur and seafood from the land of the north, religious paintings from the holy city of the east, perfume and clothing from the western city of twilight, and the high-priced tobacco leaves from Froststone... Maeve, who was once a queen, found that she had never seen it before Thousands of products of, you can find everything in this huge market.

"From here to there, these thousands of shops are uniformly divided into vendor areas, whether they are soldiers, citizens or slaves, they can set up stalls here and sell their own goods..." Fried received a smile while accepting one. The soldiers of the war regiment bowed in salute and said to Maeve.

   Maeve was a little surprised: "Slaves? Slaves are also allowed to own and buy personal belongings?"

   Fried looked back at her, and slowly said, "Froststone City is different from other places."

"Everything you see, buildings, property, commodities, and even the lives and souls of all people, do not belong to us mortals." Fried looked at the dozens of towering statues of tyrants in the market. The Son of God gave us the body, and gave us the soul. He allowed us to live on the earth, with the ability to act and think. When everyone dies, we will naturally return everything to the Son of the Gods, waiting for his favor again ."

Seeing Maeve’s face in surprise, Fried said with a smile: “Even slaves, their bodies and souls do not belong to the buyer, but to the sons of the gods; those who buy them, at most, only have them. Right to use..."

   Maeve opened his eyes and said, "The person who bought the slave just had the right to use it?"

"As the ruler of all people, the doctrine issued by the sons of the gods clearly stated: People are distinguished by high and low because of their ill destiny, but in essence, the souls of all people are the same. The slaves are naturally the same, they are because Destiny must obey the orders of others, but if people are deprived of their lives due to persecution, the perpetrators have committed the fault of contempt for the gods, who should fall into **** after death."

Maeve chewed on Fried's words carefully: "People are distinguished by high and low, but the soul is not different. Even if they are slaves, their life and death can only be determined by the gods, not their buyers. ?"

Freed nodded and said, "That's right, so the slaves in Froststone City are not as lively as livestock as in other cities. On the contrary, they are allowed to own certain private properties and are allowed to use their labor income to pay for the buyer's After daily needs, retain the most basic freedom...These are the rules expressly stipulated in the doctrine of the sons of gods."

"This is really... interesting..." Maeve was still a little unacceptable to this doctrine for a short time: "Then what if there is a dispute between people? For example, the powerful sees what the weaker has? Or is it family? Hatred with factions?"

"Money, power, hatred and desire... In the face of great faith, it is like a shadow under the sun. Although it exists, it will soon disappear. Compared with the pursuit of material comfort, people will think more about whether they will die after death. Will be blessed by the gods."

Fried smiled and turned his head back: "Because of this, compared with other cities that believe in false gods, although Froststone City has a distinct class, there are few irreconcilable contradictions and oppositions between people. In the belief of the Son of God, people clearly understand that although destiny cannot be changed, the choice between good and evil is in everyone’s hands. Only by accumulating enough goodness can they be qualified to step into the holy world before the balance of destiny after death. Domain. If you are lucky, you can even become a hero..."

   Maeve lowered her head and muttered to herself: "The world after death...?"

Freed clapped his hands and awakened Maeve: "My child, you have a long way to go. During this period of staying in Froststone City, walk and take a look, you will naturally understand the power of faith in my mouth... That's right. ,Here we are."

   Maeve raised his head, looked at the huge square columnar building in front of him, and asked strangely: "Is this...?"

"This is the exchange of the Grand Bazaar. Unlike the private vendors outside, it usually deals in bulk commodities or precious treasures." Fried took out a black dragon breast pendant made of gold from his chest. Shaman apprentice guarding at the door shook.

   The apprentice shaman with his face covered in oil, nodded slightly and said: "Welcome, Falcon captain, what do you want today?"

   Fried turned his head to the back: "I brought an outsider. She has something to sell."

The shaman apprentice had a few conversations with the guard behind him, while he took a small piece of tung tree wood from his arms and handed it to Fried, while slanting his eyes at Maeve and the two boys, he said hesitantly: "Falcon Commander, I want to remind you that this is not the place where outsiders should come."

   Fried approached the shaman apprentice and pointed to the two Valkyrie not far behind Maeve.

   The shaman apprentice suddenly stopped speaking.

Fried took the tung wood chips, leading the way, and said to Maeve: "If you want to sell valuables, there will be a large auction this afternoon, but the auctions need to be registered, appraised and numbered. You It may take a long time...There is another way, I can help you find a few suitable jewelry merchants, they will bid for your items, but only if they can be eye-catching."

   "Please take me to see the jewelry store~lightnovelpub.net~ I am in a hurry to spend money now."

   At this point, Maeve was a little confused: "You didn't help me find a buyer in the vendor area, but you brought me here directly. How did you know..."

   Fried waved his hand and interrupted Maeve: "Although I am getting older, I still have some ability to guess the identity of others from my speech and behavior..."

   Pointing to a luxuriously decorated shop in the main hall, Fried motioned for Maeve to enter: "The owner of this shop is an old friend of mine. You can just say my name after entering."

Watching Maeve walk into the jewelry store with the child, Fried stood at the door, turned his head, and watched the two Valkyrie in the field of vision getting closer and closer, smiling and saying, "It's really rare, what is it? What kind of person is the guard who actually needs you to travel?"

   One of the two Valkyries was the tall woman who refused Maeve’s ring.

   She stared into Fried's eyes and said softly: "That woman is the queen of the Connaught Kingdom, and the Son of the Gods promised her and the two children blessings."

   The smile on Fried's face slowly disappeared.

   He was silent for a long time, and finally slowly said: "Connaught Kingdom? Well, that's the case, I should have guessed... Froststone City will soon face the man-eating monster again..."
