Chapter 249: Chapter 62 Sentence




Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A faint light appeared on the horizon .

On the left side of the temporary camp, nearly 300 slaves gathered and trembled . There was a group of fierce and ferocious pirates in front of them . A scream rang from a distance, and then two big and bulky pirates came, one single-handedly carrying a slave, the other raising the slave . It was apparent that both slaves were indigenous people . Behind them were four ferocious pirates, each holding a stake, and then erecting a rough cross in front of the slaves!

“This is what happens to those who escape!”

The half-elf first mate’s face was not looking good . He was just about to perform in front of Soran, but he did not expect that there would be slaves running away the next day . It was like a tight slap on his face, telling Soran that he could not handle things properly . That was why he did not have a shred of goodwill towards the escaping slaves at all . He even wanted to skin them alive . The half-elf first mate looked at the slaves in front of him coldly, looking at their frightened expressions, and said in a deep voice: “For all those who dare to escape, you will end up like them!”

Pa-da .

The half-elf first mate took a look at the side, and then two big pirates came with two indigenous slaves who were beaten . Then the man missing his left eye stood up grinning with a hammer and a nail in his hand . Because of the current technology, the nails in this era were not the ones we were familiar with, but the tapered nails that were as thick as our fingers . The Cyclops gave a wink to the man next to him, and then someone forced the two slaves to spread their limbs and fixed them on the rough cross .

“No!… No!… . . Please, I beg you!… . ”

The two indigenous people seemed to have known their fate, and their whole body was shaking . One of them seemed to speak a little common language, crying and pleading constantly, and the slaves below did not dare to watch . However, no matter how he begged, the Cyclops raised the hammer with a grim smile and positioned the nail at the palm of the slave’s hand . With the thumping sound, a nail that was as thick as a finger passed through the palm of the indigenous slave just like that and nailed into the cross behind him .

The shrill scream sounded!

The scream was deafening . A stream of blood flowed from the nail in the palm to his fingers and dripped onto the ground . The two indigenous slaves who were about to be executed were trembling all over, and their voices had changed a little . They were still begging while expressing their repentance and ignorance . At last, they did not receive any sympathy . The Cyclops continued to nail their other hand to the cross .

But this was just the beginning!

This sentence would use nine nails in total . The first was to nail the palm, then the elbow, then the sole, and then the knee .

As for the last nail .

It was only used at the end of the sentence . When the victim was about to be drained of blood or was close to death . The executioner would pick up the last narrow nail and drive it in the forehead of the criminal . Generally, the last nail was not required, because it was a kind of sentence that carried a forbidden curse . Many places thought that if a nail was used to drive into the forehead where the criminal was finally executed, the soul of the sentenced might be nailed to the cross . Then there was a chance that the person would become a terrifying vengeful spirit .

Undeads were after all extraordinary creatures!

Even the professions did not dare say that they were able to defeat the undead . After all, they could travel between the spiritual world and the material plane .

Soran watched the entire execution .

As for these acts of escaping, he had to stop them, or else, these slaves would become more and more unmanageable . He was a man who respected the rules and had no sense of historical mission to abolish slavery . Even with the technological level from his previous life, slavery was not abolished until a long time later . The prosperous feudalistic economy at that time was completely supported by slave labor . The last complete abolition of slavery in his previous life dragged until the 20th century . It showed how amazing the power of this system was .

There was a reason for its existence .

Although it might not have been a good thing, slavery could not be contested at present, because many Godly Temples still supported slavery .

Fresh blood kept trickling down .

The two indigenous slaves, who had been nailed to the cross, had begun to breathe faintly . Their first shrill screams had changed, and now, they were almost hoarse . But the whole process was not over yet . The blood would gradually coagulate because it was not a fatal wound, they still needed to be exposed to the sun for a period of time before they eventually died . The sentence would not end with their death . After their death, their corpses would still be nailed to the cross . Then, the smell of blood would attract many scavenging animals, such as crows .

In the end .

The crows would start feasting on the corpse until only the skeletons were left!

The procedure of this sentence would last for a week . It mainly depended on the number of crows attracted and the mood of the master who ordered the sentence .

Some of the slaves below were already terrified!

Just like that, the two indigenous people were bloodied crucified and erected in front of them . Next, the pirates began to shout and command them to work . Because of the live demonstration, the slaves worked very hard . They stopped occasionally to look at the two nailed to the stake . Sadness would fill their eyes .

However, others were gloating . After all, half of the slaves were indigenous and half were mainlanders . Only the indigenous people would want to escape because the Overseas Islands was where they originally lived in . But the mainland slaves would never want to escape because they could not survive .

If it was not for the scarcity of mainland slaves and the relatively high price of docility, Soran wanted more .

“Older brother?”

Vivian’s figure appeared not too far away . The little girl wore a black princess skirt . She raised her hand and rubbed the corner of her eyes . Then she said: “What just happened? I think I heard someone screaming!”

The little girl slept for a very long time yesterday .

Recently, she seemed to be very sleepy . But at present, she did not know why . Even Soran was not very sure .

However, Vivian was currently in a normal state, and her physical condition was also very good . Something more obvious was that she was much stronger than before . Currently, she had the strength that was nearly a twelve to thirteen years old teenager .

Maybe it was because the little girl was going through puberty .

Soran felt that she was about a centimeter or two taller than she used to be . She might have been a little taller than Aladdin now .

But Aladdin was really short!

Vivian seemed to have just woken up . She rubbed the corner of her eyes in a daze . Then she blinked and looked around . When she heard the explanation of what had just happened from the subordinate next to her, she could not help but pout and said seriously: “That should be the case! As my brother’s personal property, they dare to escape? They should be nailed to death! ”

“Let’s see if dare they run away next time!”

Soran was a little worried at first . That she, who was naturally kind-hearted, would reject this sort of sentencing, but hearing what the little girl said made Soran smile .

This was his Vivian!

The little girl who said, “If you killed, I would set fire for you . ”

Kindness could not solve problems .

At least—most of the time, kindness could not solve problems, and would only make things worse .

Soran couldn’t be kind right now .

On the Overseas Islands, people were treading on thin ice . There were many dangers and countless troubles ahead . He would never allow his slaves to cause trouble for him .

Vivian seemed to be very brave today!

She raised her hands to straighten out her beautiful black princess skirt, and then tied her hair into a pair of ponytails . At times a single ponytail, at times double . The little girl seemed to have a good time playing . She tilted her head and looked at the two bloody indigenous slaves nailed to the stake . Then she turned around to see the other busy slaves . Two of them knelt immediately after seeing her, and kowtowed with an excited expression, they seemed to be the two guys whom she had helped cured with magic .

The little girl nodded rather demurely, looking down on them like a noble princess and said, “Work hard!”

“I remember my brother saying it before . As long as you guys work hard, some of you would be given your freedom . Brother’s words always count . I believe you will be free soon!”
