Chapter 796 Unbelievable
In Lilliput Country, near the City of Miracles, there are many new manors.
These manors mainly grow vegetables, flowers and fruits, and gradually grow and develop by supplying the needs of the residents of the City of Miracles.
The manor owners and the farmers hired to grow crops also made a small fortune.
Their children were also able to obtain financial support and enroll in the college of the City of Miracles to learn knowledge.
A bankrupt businessman from the Kingdom of Egret, after seeing others get rich, also made up his mind to borrow a sum of money, and after getting a piece of wasteland from the Land Management Office of the City of Miracles, he built a new manor.
However, this farmer who had just changed his career suddenly found that his new manor had land and seeds, but no labor.
After the Son of God monopolized the grain trade, most people engaged in agriculture changed their careers to become workers or handicraftsmen.
A few talented people even became soldiers directly and ate the food of the City of Miracles.
Most of those who are still engaged in agriculture are old people who can't turn around.
As the number of manors providing supplementary food gradually increased, these old people gave them one point, and it was gone.
As a result, all newcomers encountered a labor crisis.
What to do if there is no manpower?
Then you can only buy.
So, where there is demand, there is supply, and some mercenaries once again engaged in the ancient slave trade.
They went to the marginal mountainous areas, captured those savages and mountain people who refused to obey the king, and then sold them to these farmers.
The problem of insufficient labor for farmers was solved.
Naturally, it also attracted the attention of wizards.
However, after they learned about it, they didn't care about these slave trades.
As long as the slaves were not those city residents, they thought it was a normal trade behavior.
Even because it was beneficial to improve the living conditions of the residents of the City of Miracles.
Some wizards even thought that these slave traders should be rewarded to stimulate them to make persistent efforts and bring more slaves.
After all... slaves are also excellent manpower.
Most of them can only become ordinary laborers.
But there are a few abnormal ones, who can become assistants or craftsmen apprentices of wizards after training.
As Xiao Yu's various planning indicators became more and more exaggerated.
The wizards of the City of Miracles have realized that no matter how large the population of this city is, there will still be insufficient manpower.
After Xiao Yu successfully evolved Dabai into a Morning Star-level body like the Rock Great Sage, he left the Andean Condor in Huaguo Mountain to take care of the monkey soldiers and generals who were considered as reserve forces.
Then he took Dabai back to the City of Miracles.
It immediately caused a sensation.
Countless wizards came one after another, just to see the dignity of the Morning Star-level creatures with their own eyes!
The wizard of Enodia carefully proposed the suggestion of obtaining Dabai's blood for research.
Xiao Yu thought about it and agreed, but how to obtain it was up to Dabai to decide based on his physical condition.
Xiao Yu let Dabai get familiar with his new body and conducted various tests under the professional planning of the wizards.
It turned out that the comprehensive strength of Dabai now is similar to that of the top three extraordinary monsters.
That is, the level of the Black Dragon King and the Chaos Hydra.
This is the evaluation given after adding the talent of fossils as soldiers and lava as armor.
It seems a bit low.
But it is also expected.
After all, Dabai has no bonus of time and place, and no boiling rampage boost caused by the first awakening of the ancient bloodline.
It is impossible to use the Morning Star-level talent of the Earth Lord to help.
It is rare for Xiao Yu to reach the highest level of the current indigenous combat power of the Lost Continent with just a physical body and a supernatural aura inspired by instinct.
And, most importantly, Dabai, the future Great Saint, has a clear path to the Morning Star.
As long as the accumulation is enough, everything will come naturally.
It will not be like the Great Lord of the Thousand Feather Empire, who stagnated for hundreds of years.
After Xiao Yu came out of Dabai's training field, he re-sorted the news of the Miracle City in the past few days.
Soon from the daily report of the Black Guard, he learned that the scale of slave traders began to grow.
"Slave traders?"
Xiao Yu touched his chin, called scholars, and learned from them all the information related to slaves on this continent.
Xiao Yu learned that most of the slave traders today have the support of various supernatural forces behind the scenes.
This allows them to have enough military force to ensure that they can capture those savages and mountain people as slaves in those dangerous places.
As for the savages and mountain people, they are essentially branches of human races like the barbarians in the wilderness.
They usually live in remote places far away from the center of power, and have always been peaceful, only interacting with a few caravans.
Although the places where they live are often divided into certain territories, they naturally never pay taxes to the local lords because they have their own systems.
The local lords have little interest in these gathering places of savages or mountain people who are extremely poor and have serious violent tendencies, and therefore often turn a blind eye to them.
However, with the establishment of the City of Miracles, the gap in the demand for slaves continues to expand.
So that these savages and mountain people who are ignored by everyone have become valuable because of themselves.
In addition, these people have long been regarded by the mainstream as humans with basic rights.
There are fewer risks.
"Well...it seems that these savages and mountain people are actually a group of unmanned population that has not been opened up."
"Rather than being spontaneously absorbed by the people below as it is now, resulting in a lot of manpower waste during the period."
"It is better for me to take these unmanned populations as non-staff personnel of the City of Miracles."
As the City of Miracles grows and develops, being a resident of the City of Miracles is already an honor and a reward for those who have made contributions.
Therefore, Xiao Yu, who does not want to reward and punish those who have not made contributions, did not intend to directly accept these savages and mountain people as residents, but came up with the idea of non-staff to accommodate these new manpower.
It can be predicted that in the future, these non-staff populations will gradually become the largest population in the outer areas of the City of Miracles.
They will work hard to get the status of residents of the City of Miracles, and work hard to make the City of Miracles better.
Xiao Yu has always thought of it and will do it.
Therefore, he immediately recruited the commander of the black guards and the wizard of Enodia.
Early the next morning...
In the spontaneously formed slave market outside the Miracle City.
Many slave traders had just pulled out the slaves, washed them and placed them on both sides of the aisle, hoping to sell them for a good price.
The deputy commander of the Black Guard, Knight Lance, suddenly galloped over with a team of black-armored knights, causing many merchants to panic.
Knight Lance came to the square platform of the market, drew out his knight's sword and inserted it in the center of the platform, and shouted:
"The Son of God has ordered!"
"From today on, stop all trade related to slaves."
"The City Lord's Mansion will redeem all the slaves left by slave traders at the market price."
Speaking of this, Knight Lance paused, looked around at the uneasy people around him, and shouted again:
"All savages and mountain people, although stubborn, are still the intelligent species of this continent under our feet, and they should have the right to be reborn."
"From today on, there will be no more slavery."
"All people who have been enslaved should also restore their personal freedom and be deployed by the City Lord's Mansion."
"..."
Although the slave traders were angry in their hearts, no one dared to say it out loud.
They just bowed their heads and leaned over, and after someone raised their heads, they shouted together that His Highness the Son of God was wise and merciful.
Then they watched the slaves in their hands being taken away by the black guards.
Although the price offered by the Black Guards was actually much higher than the market price.
They definitely did not lose money in this business.
However, when they thought about the fact that this source of income that they had finally found was cut off again.
They were holding the money bags in their hands, but they were not happy.
Some small supernatural forces learned that this source of income was cut off, and learned from insiders that this was the intention of the City of Miracles to personally go into battle and catch all the ownerless populations such as savages and mountain people.
After they lamented repeatedly, the top leaders hurriedly held a meeting overnight and quickly made an important decision.
Since the City of Miracles cut off the way for these supernatural forces who could not survive!
Then!
These supernatural forces should not struggle anymore.
Let's discuss it and disband.
Anyway, everyone is a supernatural person, and it is more than enough to get a resident qualification in the City of Miracles.
Especially the top leaders, which one is not well-educated and experienced?
After they went to the City of Miracles, wouldn't their lives be much more comfortable than staying in this small place?
At least the benefits that the City of Miracles gave to those soldiers of the Divine Guards were so good that the leaders of these small forces were ashamed.
They were the leaders of a great faction, but they were not as good as a soldier in the City of Miracles.
It's better to just... join them.
As for the inheritance of the sect?
Well... find a new person to inherit it quickly, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the promise of not letting the inheritance be lost in their hands.
So.
Xiao Yu didn't expect that his decision to recruit wild mountain people and compete with slave traders for food would bring another wave of surrender to his forces.
Although no masters came.
The addition of dozens of experienced formal wizards and thousands of wizard apprentices still made the teams of Utulu Wizard and Mafa Wizard relax a lot.
…………
The original Qianyu Empire, in the Qianli Mountain Range, which is known to have 100,000 mountains.
There are hundreds of savage tribes and mountain villages scattered in the 100,000 mountains.
At least 200,000 savages and 100,000 mountain people have survived thanks to the gift of the mountains.
Yes, they have survived.
It's very simple. In these harsh mountain environments, without agricultural subsidies, savages and mountain people can't get enough food to meet the needs of the growing population.
It's under the cruel law of nature.
As long as they don't become extraordinary.
There are no elderly people over 30 years old among the savages and mountain people.
There will be no unhealthy children.
When encountering a great famine.
The savages and mountain people will even fight each other spontaneously, and after reducing the population of both sides by half through war to form a new balance.
They will live in peace again for decades.
Such a cycle has been experienced countless times in this mountain.
It is still the same today.
When the City of Miracles began to redeem slaves, in the largest mountain village in the mountains, Shan Ao, who succeeded the new village chief, was standing on the village altar and publicly killed a mercenary.
Shan Ao was very tall compared to other mountain people, a full six and a half meters tall.
Because he was an extraordinary strong man and awakened half of the blood of the hill giant in his body.
That was why Shan Ao was able to become the new village chief and leader of this village.
"Shan Ao!"
"Shan Ao!"
Around the simple altar made of mud, thousands of naked upper bodies and many strange tattoos painted on their skin with blue paint surrounded the altar excitedly, waving their strong arms to support him.
Shan Ao opened his mouth wide and responded to the cheers of his people. He used both hands to tear the dead mercenary in his hand directly into two halves.
"This is the fate of the invaders!"
"This is the fate of challenging the authority of the mountain god!"
"Roar, roar!"
Shan Ao beat his chest, roared for a while, then turned to look at a trembling wizard apprentice tied up on the altar.
The wizard apprentice had blood at the corner of his mouth. He curled up and watched his companions being torn apart. He regretted joining the slave hunting team organized by the academy for the points reward of the academy.
Who would have thought that an action that was thought to be easy would turn out to be unexpected.
First, those damn mountain people had extraordinary people.
And then something worse happened. Those mountain people actually had the help of monsters.
So that the wizard apprentice's team was defeated in an instant, and even he, a core figure who should have been protected, was captured by the mountain people.
"You can't kill me!"
"You ignorant guys, you don't know how much has changed outside!"
"My elders are working for the great Son of God! If you kill me, you will all be wiped out in an instant!"
"Hmph, do you think threats can stop Shan Ao?"
"You are courting death!"
Shan Ao said as he was about to crush the throat of the wizard apprentice.
"Shan Ao, wait!"
Suddenly, a snow-white roc flew down. A man with white tattoos all over his body and a straw hat jumped down from the roc.
"Deputy chief?"
Shan Ao stopped. He recognized the man in the straw hat. He was one of the few extraordinary wizards in the mountain tribe.
He was also one of the few influential tribesmen in the loose alliance that the mountain tribe had had since ancient times.
"The slave hunting team has been coming too frequently recently, which is not normal."
"I need to ask what happened in the outside world."
"Could it be that the great master of the Qianyu Empire wants to challenge the great mountain god?"
The deputy clan leader said this, approached the wizard apprentice, stretched out his hand and pressed the wizard apprentice's face.
He began to mutter a series of obscure spells.
After a while.
In the depths of the distant forest, a towering mountain emitted a green light, echoing the witchcraft of the deputy clan leader.
Suddenly.
The deputy clan leader withdrew his hand with a slight change of expression.
Whispered in disbelief:
"How could this happen!"
"The Qianyu Empire outside the mountain is actually over!"
"The great master of the Qianyu Empire was also defeated by the giant who claimed to be the son of God from the Valley of the Gods?"
"Mountain God, this is incredible!"
