Chapter 1289: Prison (Part II)
Just as Slane and the others were trembling and feeling overwhelmed, Babu put away his momentum, put on a smiling face, and said kindly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have been hired by my brother, but since you have made an agreement, you must do what I ask, otherwise you will not only not be paid but will also be punished, understand?"
"Yes, Lord Bรกb. Everyone hastened to reply, and after seeing his strength, almost everyone was afraid of him.
"Hehe, very good, let me tell you about your work, your main work includes prison security and taking care of slaves, if you want to end your work, you must explain to me a month in advance, by the way, I can only apply to leave after working in my prison for three years, which should be written in the contract. โ
"Yes. They replied
"Okay, you can go to the foreman on the first floor, Kutono, and they will arrange your specific work. โ
"Yes!"
Everyone left the room, and Zhan Chen walked up to Slane and said, "Big brother, how long are we going to be here?"
Slane smiled: "Didn't Babu say just now, at least three years, imagine that we can get six thousand five hundred top-grade star stones in one year, and it will be almost 20,000 in three years, this money is enough for us to spend for a long time, you just came to Jean Star, I believe you need this money." โ
Zhan Chen frowned and said, "I just feel that Batulu and Babu are not good. โ
"Hehe, Zhan Chen, don't think too much, mercenaries will not give up well-paid tasks, no matter whether the client is good or evil, as long as we have money to earn. โ
"I see. Zhan Chen had to say this.
The group went to the first floor and found Kutono, who was also a bluebell, and after learning about their basic situation, they were assigned shifts, and they were also arranged for dormitories, and they settled in the prison temporarily.
Zhan Chen was also assigned to his own room, in a corner on the fifth floor of the tower. When he came to the room, he looked around and found that it was just a very ordinary room with a very ordinary layout, except for a few pieces of furniture, there was nothing else, not even a cultivation room, of course, he had to work almost every day here, and naturally there was no time for retreat and cultivation.
So Zhan Chen lay down on his bed and began to think about what he was thinking, of course, the miserable condition of the slaves he had seen in Atinah. Cultivators, what a comfortable existence, but now they are locked in the market with iron ropes and sold at will, and most of them are their own clan, others can turn a blind eye to this, but Zhan Chen can't do it.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely free all these slaves!" Zhan Chen thought.
It was a bold and terrifying thought, and Zhan Chen knew very well what he would face if he did this, so he also thought twice.
After a night's rest until the next day, Zhan Chen began his day's work, and the first job he got was to go deep into the third floor of the dungeon to patrol. He first went to the foreman Kutono, and then went underground with his guard.
Walking on the spiral staircase and going deeper into the gloomy dungeon, and surrounded by adventurers he didn't know, Zhan Chen had a feeling of depression, and he couldn't wait to vent it immediately.
Just then, a subhuman tribe with a pair of tentacles leaned over to him and asked, "Hey, newcomer, what's your name?" โ
Zhan Chen came back to his senses and replied out of politeness: "My name is Zhan Chen, what about you?"
"Ramoswis. โ
"What kind of star are you?"
"My homeland is a planet called Kongirao, and my people call themselves the Horne of Saint. โ
Zhan Chen smiled reluctantly, the races and names of these subhuman races made him remember a little headache, and he always felt weird.
"Hehe, you Terrans don't come to us for a long time to take on work, and you don't do it for a long time, most of them are because you can't stand it anymore, so I feel very strange that you are a Terran here. Ramoswys added.
"Why did our Terran not work here for long?" Zhan Chen naturally asked again.
"That's because most of the slaves held here are from your Terran race, and most people don't want to see their own people suffering. โ
Zhan Chen frowned and didn't say anything.
At this time, they had already come to the third floor of the dungeon, and after entering the dungeon, Zhan Chen smelled a foul smell, and then saw rows of iron cages presented in front of his eyes, and all kinds of slaves were imprisoned in the iron cages, and sure enough, most of them were his compatriots, not only young and beautiful women, but also a considerable number of men, and even old people.
In addition to the Terrans, he also saw a lot of sub-human races and demon races, all of whom were also imprisoned in this place together.
At this moment, the leader in charge of this duty turned his head and said to them: "Everyone, your task is still the same, responsible for patrolling various areas of the third layer, and by the way, check whether the shackles worn by those slaves have been damaged, you know, although these guys are locked, but they are very dishonest, once they break free, there will be big trouble, and when something goes wrong, we are all responsible." โ
"Understood, Captain!" replied the group.
Then everyone dispersed and began to patrol the third floor, and as Zhan Chen walked and looked, he found that the situation of the slaves here was very miserable. Most of them were disheveled, and they carried heavy shackles on their hands, and these shackles were engraved with powerful prohibitions that limited their power, and once they were carried, even the powerful Earth Star Realm powerhouses would be as powerless as babies.
What it would be like for a person with power to lose his strength, Zhan Chen, who had also been a prisoner, knew it very well, so he saw some slaves frantically smashing their handcuffs on the walls and iron bars, trying to destroy the handcuffs, but unfortunately this was doomed to be in vain, that kind of handcuffs were made of unknown what they were made of, and they were extremely strong.
At this moment, Ramoswis, who was patrolling with him, yelled into the cage: "Don't knock, do you want to suffer?"
Only then did the slaves stop tapping, and then obediently sat back on the ground, and then Ramoswys said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, our usual job is to monitor these slaves, so that they don't break the shackles and cages and escape. โ
Zhan Chen said: "I see that they are all firmly locked, and they can't be used at all, how can they escape?"
"Don't underestimate these slaves, many of them have special magical powers, even if their strength is limited, if they are not monitored by us, they can still escape, similar incidents have happened in the past, and after that incident, Baturu paid us adventurers to take care of the slaves for him. โ
"Similar incidents, what do you mean?" Zhan Chen was naturally curious.
"You want to know, well, let me tell you, let's not say anything else, let's just say the most serious one, it happened in the deepest part of the prison, a slave with a stellar realm went on a rampage, and almost destroyed the entire prison, thanks to the fact that I didn't work here at the time, or I might have died. โ
"Slave of the Stellar Realm! How could a strong man in the Stellar Realm be caught as a slave?"
"How is it impossible, you must know that Baturu himself has the cultivation of the three-star stellar realm, and it is not a problem to subdue the powerhouses of the one- and two-star stellar realms, our old man is famous for his boldness, he doesn't dare to earn any money, and naturally it also includes buying and selling the powerhouses of the stellar realm. โ
"So did anyone buy it?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask again.
"Why doesn't anyone buy it? You know the effect of the master-servant contract, as long as you can make a master-servant contract with the stellar realm powerhouse, even if you only have the cultivation of the quasi-star realm, a single thought can make the stellar realm powerhouse submit, which has a huge temptation for some people with low cultivation. โ
"Then how much does it cost to buy a Stellar Realm powerhouse?"
"Hehe, that's naturally a number that we don't dare to think of, like us low-level cultivators, don't go to luxury, or honestly earn money and improve our cultivation to reality. โ
"Ramoswis, is it true that the later the deeper the depths, the higher the combat effectiveness of the slaves?"
"Yes, the later we are in the depths, the stronger the guards we are equipped with, the lower level is not only inhabited by slaves, but also by a considerable number of star beasts, Baturu in addition to the slave business also sells spirit beasts, this is a profitable business. โ
Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I saw that there are also some people on the schedule who take care of the star beasts. โ
"Yes, this is also a hard job, the habits of star beasts are different, and some rare beasts are particularly delicate, and they are easy to die if they don't pay attention to it. โ
Zhan Chen said with a smile: "There is even this kind of star beast, in my impression, the star beasts are all existences with strong combat power and tenacious vitality. โ
"Zhan Chen, your experience is still too shallow, the universe is so big that there are no wonders, some rare beasts do not have any strength in themselves, they are specially for people to enjoy, and their value is not inferior to those powerful star beasts, this is called rare and expensive. โ
"I believe this, the concept of consumption of rich people is different from that of us people. โ
"Yes, so I'm most afraid of arranging for me to take care of those exotic beasts, if I die, I won't be able to pay for the bankruptcy. Ramoswys sighed.
Zhan Chen saw that he was willing to talk to him, and asked a lot of information about the dungeon, which can be regarded as having a general understanding of the entire dungeon.
The day passed quickly, then he went back to rest, and then the next day he went on patrol again, and the days passed in peace, and soon a month passed. During this month, Zhan Chen patrolled the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the prison successively, and also had a preliminary understanding of the structure of the entire dungeon through various understandings, and even became familiar with some imprisoned slaves.
There was always a thought in his mind about how he could free the slaves in these dungeons. Of course, this idea only stayed in his mind, and he never told anyone about it, because it sounded too unrealistic, and it was not something that a small five-star Earth Star Realm powerhouse could do.
I want to do but can't do it, whenever I see the miserable situation of those slaves, Zhan Chen is always very distressed, Ba hopes to end this mission as soon as possible, so one day after finishing work, he found Slane, who happened to be resting.
