Chapter 62 Penalties
A faint light appeared in the sky.
On the left side of the temporary camp, nearly 300 slaves were gathered together trembling. In front of them was a group of pirates with fierce faces. There was a scream not far away, and then two burly and powerful pirates walked over, carrying two slaves who were obviously natives, one with one hand and the other with one hand. Behind them were four hideous-looking pirates, each holding a wooden stake, and then erected a rough cross in front of the group of slaves!
"This is what happens to those who run away!"
The face of the half-elf first mate was not very good-looking. He was just about to show off in front of Sauron, but he didn't expect that a slave would run away the next day. So now he doesn't have the slightest affection for the escaped slaves, and he even wants to skin them alive. The first officer of the half-elf stared coldly at the slaves in front of him, looked at their terrified expressions, and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to escape, they will be your fate!"
Slap.
The half-elf first officer glanced to the side, and then two burly pirates came over carrying two native slaves who had obviously been beaten at first. Immediately afterwards, a one-eyed dragon missing the left eyeball stood up with a grinning grin. He held a hammer and nails in his hand. Because of the manufacturing process, the nails of this era are not the ones we are familiar with, but the ones with fingers. Thick and thin tapered nails. Cyclops winked at the person next to him, and then someone forcibly separated the two slaves and fixed their limbs on a rough cross.
"No! . . . No! . . . Please! . . . "
The two aborigines seemed to know their next fate, and they couldn't help trembling all over. One of them seemed to speak a little common language, crying and begging constantly, and the slaves below dared not look at the voice. But no matter how much he begged, it was useless, Cyclops smiled grimly and raised the hammer. Then he aimed the nail at his palm, and with a bang sound, the nail, which was as thick as a finger, passed through the palm of the native slave, and then pushed into the wooden post behind him.
An extremely shrill scream sounded!
That voice felt very penetrating, and streams of blood flowed from the nailed palm, and then dripped down the ground along the fingers. The two native slaves who were executed were trembling all over. The voices in their mouths have changed a bit, they are still begging hard, expressing their remorse and ignorance, but in the end there is still no mercy for them. The one-eyed dragon continued to pick up the nails, and then nailed their other palms to the stake.
But this is just the beginning!
A total of nine nails were used in this criminal law, starting with the palm and then the elbow. Then came the soles of the feet, and then the knees.
As for the last nail.
This is only used at the end of the criminal law. When the victim is about to bleed, or is close to death, the executioner will pick up the last very narrow nail. Shot through the forehead of the prisoner. Under normal circumstances, the last nail is not used, because this is a criminal law with a taboo and curse nature, and many places believe that if a nail is driven into the forehead. If the prisoner is finally executed, the soul of the victim may be crucified. Then this kind of person has a chance to become a terrible wraith.
Undead are supernatural beings after all!
Even professionals dare not say that they can beat the undead, after all, they can travel between the spirit world and the material plane.
………………
Sauron watched the entire execution process.
He must strictly stop this kind of escape, otherwise these slaves will become more and more difficult to manage in the future. He is a man who respects the rules and has no sense of historical mission to end slavery. Because even if it is the level of technology in the previous life. The slavery system was not abolished until a long time later, and the prosperous manor economy at that time was completely supported by slave labor. In the previous life, the complete abolition of slavery was delayed until the twentieth century, which shows how amazing the remaining power of this system is.
Existence is reasonable.
Although it may not be a good thing, the current slavery system cannot be shaken, because many churches of the gods support the slavery system.
Blood dripped down.
The two native slaves who were nailed to the stakes had begun to breathe weakly, and their screams at the beginning had changed, and now they were almost hoarse. But the whole process is not over yet, the blood will gradually solidify, because it is not a fatal wound, they still need to be exposed to the hot sun for a period of time before they die. The criminal law will not end because of their death. After their death, the corpses are still nailed to the wooden frame, and the smell of blood will attract many scavengers, such as crows and the like.
at last.
The crows will start pecking at the carcass until all that is left is a skeleton!
This criminal law process may last for a week, mainly depending on how many crows are attracted, and whether the owner who ordered this criminal law is in a good mood.
Some of the slaves below are almost scared to death!
The two aborigines were nailed to the cross bloody in this way, and then stood upright in front of them. Next, the pirates began to yell and direct them to work, because of the live example just now, these slaves worked very hard, only occasionally when they stopped and saw the two of the same kind nailed to the wooden stake, There is a trace of sadness in the eyes, but there are also people who are gloating in their eyes. After all, half of the slaves are aborigines and half are mainlanders, and the aborigines will want to escape, because this is the overseas islands where they live. But mainland slaves would never want to escape, because they would have no way to survive if they escaped.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of slaves in the mainland was scarce, and because the relatively docile slaves were relatively expensive, Sauron really planned to buy more.
"elder brother?"
Vivian's figure appeared not far away. The little girl was wearing a black princess dress. She raised her little hands and rubbed the corners of her eyes, and said, "What happened just now? I seem to hear someone screaming!"
The little girl slept for a long time yesterday.
Recently, she seems to be lethargic, but she doesn't know why, even Sauron doesn't know.
However, Vivienne's condition is normal, and her physical condition is also very good. It is also obvious that her strength is much stronger than before, and now she has the strength close to that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
Maybe the little girl is developing.
Sauron felt that she was about one or two centimeters taller than before, and she was probably a little taller than Aladdin now.
But speaking of it, Aladdin is really short!
Vivienne seemed to have just woken up, rubbed the corners of her eyes in a daze, and then looked around with big eyes blinking. When she heard the subordinate next to her explain what happened just now, she couldn't help curling her mouth , nodded seriously: "It should be like this! These lowly slaves! They dare to escape as my brother's private property! They should be crucified!"
"See if they dare to escape in the future!"
At first, Sauron was a little worried that she, who was kind by nature, would reject this kind of criminal law, but what the little girl said made a smile appear on the corner of Sauron's mouth.
This is his Vivian!
The little girl who said, 'If you kill someone, I'll set fire to you'.
Kindness does not solve problems.
At least most of the time, kindness can't solve the problem, it will only make the problem worse.
It's not yet time for Sauron to show his kindness!
Now the overseas archipelago can be said to be in crisis every step of the way, with all kinds of dangerous things and hidden dangers causing countless troubles. He will never allow his slaves to add trouble to him.
………………
Today's Vivienne seems to be very courageous!
She raised her hand to straighten out her beautiful black princess dress, and then tied it into a double ponytail with a hair tie. The little girl had a single ponytail and a double ponytail every day, as if having fun. She tilted her head to look at the two bloody native slaves nailed to the stake, and then turned around to look at other busy slaves, two of them immediately knelt down when they saw her, She kowtowed with excitement, as if they were the two guys she had cured with spells.
The little girl nodded reservedly, looked down at them like a noble princess and said, "Work hard!"
"I remember my brother said that as long as you work hard, some of you will be freed. My brother always means what he says. I believe you will be free soon!..."
