Chapter 2936 The Slave Contract
The biggest safety consideration is to have the other person completely naked, wearing the clothes here.
Prevent the other party from carrying any dangerous items they do not recognize.
Wenren Sheng couldn't help but nod; this princess was very cunning.
You can tell at first glance that he is not a good person.
If we directly say that we need to conduct an examination, it will cause the seven people to feel resistant.
If it's called "bathing," then it's very simple.
The man with glasses looked somewhat puzzled.
He had already realized that this was a medieval setting.
In the Middle Ages, nobles rarely took baths.
They believed that bathing would damage the body's protective layer and lead to disease.
For example, catching a cold or having a fever.
In fact, this is quite common.
Because fuel was scarce in the Middle Ages, it was difficult to heat water.
Many people can only take a bath with cold water.
How could you possibly boil water so frequently to take a bath?
How much firewood would that consume?
In the Middle Ages, coal was not widely used, and its production was also limited.
Frequent cold showers can easily lead to a cold.
A single cold and fever can be a brush with death.
Modern people often catch colds from taking cold showers.
Let alone people in ancient times.
Over time, they became unwilling to take baths.
Besides, many people take a few baths in their lifetime and still live to old age.
Now, the other party is actually asking them to take a bath, which is clearly something that goes against their habits.
The seven people could actually smell that the princess was covered in perfume.
The other person was using perfume to mask a strange, foul odor.
You could say she's a typical medieval, smelly princess.
A mixture of foul odors and perfume—that's the real Middle Ages.
Because they didn't bathe, the nobles had a huge demand for various perfumes and spices.
They also knew the stench was unpleasant.
But they dared not take a bath, so they had to find other ways to cover it up.
It's important to know that even among the nobles in the Middle Ages, their hygiene conditions and habits were extremely poor.
Even at important gatherings, such as those at the royal palace, they would urinate and defecate anywhere.
The reason for this phenomenon is even quite ridiculous.
That is, their royal palace doesn't even have toilets.
The problem is that there isn't a toilet specifically for these guests.
Toilets used only by royalty.
Obviously, guests cannot freely enter the royal family's toilets.
So when they needed to use the toilet, they could only find a random spot in the garden.
If the Eastern dynasties of the same period knew this, they would be speechless.
How can the royal family maintain its dignity in this way?
However, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as this detail reveals that the authority of Western monarchies is not strong enough.
Later, due to extremely poor sanitation, the Black Death broke out, making people realize that even royalty was no exception.
This spurred the Renaissance.
In short, medieval Europe was a complete mess.
The entire city was built on top of cesspools.
There have even been bizarre incidents: someone held a party at home, and because there were too many people, the floor collapsed.
The tragic outcome of a group of people falling into a cesspool and drowning is even more speechless.
Because their house is located above a septic tank.
They really know how to save space.
It's quite obvious that the alternate world is a typical recreation of reality.
At this moment, in the men's bathroom.
Just as they were taking a shower, the high school student with glasses said to Fatty, "Hey Fatty, don't you think it's weird?"
"What's so strange about it?" Fatty Gao said nonchalantly. "From what I've observed, this world should be a typical alternate world where the hero defeats the demon king."
"No, it's a realistic medieval setting, possibly incorporating elements of fantasy, heroes, leveling up, and getting stronger to slay demon kings," the bespectacled man said, shaking his head.
"This world seems simple."
"But there are also many court intrigues and cruel things involved."
“Look at them, they don’t even bathe. This is a typical feature of the Middle Ages.”
"If it's another world, it must be spotless."
Fatty frowned slightly, but seemed indifferent.
The physical education student looked like he didn't understand.
"Stinky Gao" has been cleaned up and is actually quite handsome; he's been renamed "Handsome Gao".
Neither of them spoke.
While they were taking a bath, suddenly, a man dressed like a prince knocked on the door and came in.
The soldiers followed behind him.
The prince was dressed in a golden armor, looking very majestic.
He addressed the four people in the bathroom directly:
Thank you for coming.
“You were all invited to this kingdom by my queen.”
"Fellow warriors, I must warn you that our queen is known in the kingdom as the Thorn Rose."
"Some people also call her the variegated viper."
"Everyone, please be careful."
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the second prince. If you need anything, you can come to me."
“I live in Fontainebleau Palace.”
Then the second prince left.
Good heavens, is this what palace intrigue is like?
So simple and brutal.
They had just arrived, and the other party was already blatantly trying to win them over and sow discord.
It was almost completely undisguised.
"This is different from the movie."
"In movies, don't people always talk in circles and go around in circles?"
Several people asked in confusion.
However, it must be said that the other party directly stated that they originally had a very good impression of the eldest princess.
But now there's a bit more caution.
After all, it was a colorful venomous snake.
Just by hearing that nickname, you can tell that the other person has killed many people.
There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
After the second prince left, the four male high school students took a bath and then told the three female high school students.
"The eldest princess is not a simple woman; we must be careful."
"In any case, the Second Prince's warning is probably not unfounded, but it may not be without reason."
"Yes, even if the second prince is slandering the other party, it shows that the royal palace is not a game."
Sure enough, they arrived at the palace.
They bowed one by one when they met the king.
Everything was normal until suddenly, the eldest princess said to the king:
"Your Majesty, these seven people are actually assassins from another world."
"They are not true candidates for heroism."
"We should enslave them!"
"What do you mean by that?" The high school student with glasses immediately became nervous.
The princess's eyes turned slightly cold as she said, "After our inspection, we found that you have all sorts of things that show contempt for our kingdom."
"Moreover, when you first met the King, you dared to look him directly in the eye, showing absolutely no respect for him."
"And some of you are plotting to overthrow the king and become king yourselves."
"What?!" The king was immediately shocked. "There's such a thing?"
"I wanted to marry my daughter to the best of your men, and you want to overthrow me?"
“You have no evidence. When did we think that way?” Fatty Gao quickly retorted.
The eldest princess simply gave a cold smile.
She took out a crystal ball. It displayed what that arrogant, handsome high school student was thinking.
"Damn king, and damn princess."
"They can't even afford to knock on my door."
"Once I level up and become stronger, I'll do this to you all first, then that, and finally that..."
Inside the crystal ball, there were indescribable scenes.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.
The handsome high school student was truly panicked.
He only harbors ruthlessness in his heart; in reality, he is quite cowardly.
He shook his head and said, "That's not what I said."
"I did not say those words."
"Can't I even think about it in my head?"
"That won't do either, that's a serious crime!" the princess sneered. "If you dare to think about it today, you'll dare to do it tomorrow."
The king was immediately enraged.
He ordered his soldiers to arrest the high school student first.
"Lock this assassin in the dungeon!"
Good guy.
Seeing this, the others quickly moved away from the handsome high school student's companion.
The other party has already admitted it.
They knew the other was beyond saving.
They were just thinking about it in their minds, never expecting that the other party could monitor what they were thinking.
Isn't this terrifying?
This means they can't think about anything anymore.
As soon as they think of resistance or betrayal, they're doomed!
We must act immediately; we cannot delay any longer until the other party takes us back.
At this moment, the eldest princess said, "I suspect that these six people are also problematic."
"Their situation is likely related to our several failures some time ago."
"It was their arrival that caused the Demon King's power to increase."
"So, are we to execute them all now?" the king asked.
"If they are executed directly, their souls will definitely return to the Demon King, which will only make the Demon King stronger."
"We should use slave contracts, sign slave contracts with them, and then make them stronger so that we can personally control them to kill those demon kings," the princess revealed her true purpose.
The crowd was furious.
Wenren Sheng followed them, watching them all the way.
He watched as the seven people were manipulated and played with by the eldest princess.
this is normal.
After all, this is the opponent's home court.
They're new here and haven't activated their cheat codes yet, so how can they turn things around?
We can only wait.
All seven people were put under slave contracts and were enslaved.
The one who controls them is the eldest princess.
The second prince also stood at the back, but he did not speak.
Clearly, he had little say in front of the king.
The eldest princess said triumphantly, "Assassins, you only have one way out from now on, and that is to serve this princess well."
These seven people were extremely frustrated. They didn't receive the treatment due to heroes; instead, they were turned into slaves.
Then they put slave collars around their necks.
Each person was then given weapons.
The four high school boys received ordinary swords, as well as bows and arrows.
The girls, on the other hand, received staffs.
They began training under the guidance of the Royal Knight Commander.
Fortunately, the Knight Commander was an upright man.
He felt sorry for the seven people.
He believed that one should not rely on witchcraft to judge the other party's crimes before the other party has committed any evil deeds.
So he treated the seven people very well, carefully teaching them things and bringing them delicious food.
This led the three high school girls to quickly side with the Knight Commander, and even develop subtle feelings for each other—this is the Stockholm effect.
The victim actively sided with one of the perpetrators.
If among the perpetrators there are some relatively kind people, then feelings will develop even faster.
This can give them emotional support and prevent them from going insane.
However, besides the knight commander, there were also eunuchs.
The palace eunuch was a eunuch, and a rare one at that.
He gained the king's trust by castrating himself.
He was sent by the eldest princess to monitor seven people.
If anyone feels pain or tries to slack off, he will whip them without hesitation.
"Damn it, this isn't the start of a hero's journey. We've been tricked," Fatty Gao said as he went to sleep that night.
"Alright, this is the real world." The person with high glasses actually found it quite normal.
Others have no obligation to please you.
Only by encountering darkness and evil can we find reality.
On the contrary, if everything good happens right away, that's just wish-fulfillment fiction.
For ordinary people, finding a job requires a lot of effort, humility, and a very good attitude.
Why should I become someone else's VIP just because I went to another world?
Unless they have superhuman strength from the start.
They need to rely on the other's weapons to become heroes, so others naturally want to control them to prevent them from suddenly going crazy and losing control after gaining power, thus turning the tables on them.
And at night.
The second prince has arrived again.
He shook his head and said, "See? I told you so, wasn't I right? Isn't my sister a poisonous snake?"
“She was very kind to you before, but then she turned around and framed you in front of the king.”
The seven people reluctantly admitted that the prince was right.
They never expected that the other party was indeed a venomous snake, and that it was venomous without any warning.
They started by killing them right from the beginning.
The second prince continued, "I'm sorry, I originally intended to help you."
"However, she produced that kind of evidence."
"You have only yourself to blame; you were all too audacious."
"How can you think such things in your heart? You are being very disrespectful."
"Everyone knows that you can't just think about things randomly."
"The only things I want to think about are eating and sleeping, and maybe having children."
"Don't think about anything else; that way you can avoid a lot of unexpected things."
No one had anything to say.
However, the second prince comforted them.
"Things will take a turn for the better, no matter what."
really.
After training, they finally received the appropriate equipment.
They soon possessed extraordinary power.
Level up and become stronger by defeating monsters – a complete process.
However, the slave contract became stronger as their power increased.
They had no choice but to obey the princess's orders.
The eldest princess was very satisfied with this.
"Very good. After a month, you have finally gotten rid of your previous state of being in a terrible state. Now you can go to the first location."
"First, eliminate one monster."
"Go to Xishe Village, a small border village."
Xishe Village is a small village with only 600 people.
However, 600 people is actually quite a lot.
People made a living through handicrafts.
The area has good transportation, and they produce wheels and vehicle-related parts to sell to caravans along the route.
We also offered accommodation, food, and vehicle repair services.
This is a typical village of artisan commerce.
It has great potential for future development. If the commercial path continues, it will eventually become a town or even a city.
