Chapter 622: Chapter 622 - The Scar of Oblivion (2)
“I know . ” Shen Yanxiao sighed . She had money and land but lacked the workforce . It was very frustrating for her .
“I know a place where you may find what you need,” Du Lang suggested .
“Where?”
“The Scar of Oblivion . ”
Shen Yanxiao was surprised to hear that . The Scar of Oblivion did not belong to any country, and it existed between the borders of two countries in a vast rift valley . During the war between the demons and the gods, a massive piece of land cracked in the open plain, and that turned out to be the Scar of Oblivion .
There was no one there to govern, nor were there any legal control .
It was called the Scar of Oblivion because the world would forget anyone who went there . One could find many strange things at the Scar of Oblivion .
No country could control the land because the ones who lived there were desperate outlaws .
They were most wanted criminals from various countries, and they had escaped there to be safe .
The other feature that made the Scar of Oblivion noticeable was the slave trade .
The slave trade had been banned in the four countries for many years . However, at the Scar of Oblivion, people could still buy slaves who had no dignity and were treated like livestock .
The slaves purchased from the Scar of Oblivion were deemed legitimate in all four countries .
Many people from noble or wealthy households would buy slaves as labor or punch bags .
It was the slave owners’ right to inflict any harm to the slaves, even to kill them .
“Are you suggesting slaves from the Scar of Oblivion?” Shen Yanxiao frowned . She did not like that kind of inhumane oppression, and perhaps, it was also because she was from a time and place that advocated freedom and equality . Somehow, she felt repelled by the lack of human rights in the world .
“Yes . ” Du Lang nodded .
“There are many slaves there . As long as you have enough gold coins, you can buy enough slaves . Most of them have been trained, and they would not go against their owners’ will . They would not have any complaints even if they were to come to the Forsaken Land to work . ”
Shen Yanxiao listened as she continued to frown .
Du Lang could tell that she was not fond of the idea, but he had no other choice . “You may disapprove of this idea, but it is the only solution to our problem . ”
Shen Yanxiao thought about it before she stood up .
“I will visit the Scar of Oblivion . Pick someone from your mercenary group and have them come with me . We will take a carriage there . I… I will buy some slaves and bring them here with me . ” Shen Yanxiao found it awkward to utter the word slaves .
She might have been an unkind thief, but she was a person of integrity . There were things that she could do and some that she could never accept .
Du Lang was relieved that Shen Yanxiao had agreed with their plan . If they could not rebuild the city, then they would have to live in that mess for a long time . A ceiling that could break at any time was enough to scare them .
How upset would it be if those rocks killed them in their sleep?
Eventually, after some discussion, Du Lang asked the six wolves to accompany Shen Yanxiao . Lan Fengli, Freud, Vermillion Bird, and the little Phoenix tagged along as well .
The two Phoenixes would stay in the city to keep an eye out in case some fools would come with ill intentions .
Shen Yanxiao only brought three carriages with her . After she gave her instructions, she set off with the group and left the Sun Never Sets .
