Great time travel

Chapter 18. Trivia of Crete (continued)

The light was dim, the walls were damp, the mosquitoes were infested, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of putrid mold.

In the deep dark room, dozens of half-naked women with numb expressions were lying in disorder.They were all barefoot, and their slender ankles were connected together by rough hemp ropes, and they were covered with scarlet blood.

Outside the open door, heart-piercing screams could be heard continuously, which seemed to come from their compatriots, but these poor women who had been completely desperate for a long time didn't even have the courage to look up. up.

Outside the dark prison cell, in a spacious courtyard covered with white sand, a naked brown-haired woman was held in the middle by two muscular men twisting their arms. Except for the ropes that bound her hands and feet, There is no longer a trace of cover.Let the onlookers stare greedily at this body shining in the sun, and the wretched slave trader comment on this "commodity" and describe her various benefits.

Beside her, there were also four naked women who were as naked as her.The young girls seemed accustomed to this level of public nudity, none of them wept or trembled, they just clung to each other, trying to maintain what little shyness they had with their companions' bodies.

However, the humiliation that these female slaves will face in the sales market is obviously more than that - only a few picky buyers approached them, laughing and kneading their full breasts and slender waists, or tearing them apart He looked at his teeth with his mouth, and let out a few obscene laughs from time to time.

One of the youngest black-haired girls seemed to be pinched because of her breasts, so she couldn't help trembling and yelling "No", but the buyer turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to push forward, reaching for her lower body.The black-haired girl, who couldn't stand this kind of insult anymore, screamed and shook off the opponent's hand, but in the next moment, her long hair was grabbed by the ruthless guard behind her, making her Almost cried out in pain.Then he was scolded and slapped by the slave trader... It is also one of the characteristics of the slave trade to allow customers to "inspect" the goods on the spot like this.

When Ma Tong and the others came over, even from a long distance, they could still see that the lower lip of several of the women had been bitten out of blood, and they desperately endured the tears that swirled in their eye sockets, their bodies trembling like sifting chaff.And several customers are still evaluating their bodies like appreciating playthings.

"...This skin is so white, it seems like it has never been exposed to the sun. This is really a good slave girl..."

"...This female slave is really too thin, especially her ass is not big enough, I'm afraid it's not suitable for having children..."

"...Her eyes are too fierce, she looks untamed. Where did you get this batch of goods!"

Clearly, the buyers intend to keep haggling.But at the same time, the merchant in charge of selling slaves had already seen Ma Tong and his group embracing each other, so he hurriedly ordered people to start clearing the place, kicking out idle customers, and at the same time ordered his thugs to pull out all the female slaves for display.

"...Everyone! Everyone! A distinguished guest from the palace is coming, if you haven't made up your mind to buy it, please stay away!"

Several spectators who originally wanted to haggle the price had to retreat angrily when they saw this.And the leading slave trader came forward with a smile, "... Honorable adults, all the female slaves you want are here, and all of them are of suitable age to have children, and their appearance is at least The upper-middle class, with hard work and good health... If you have any special requirements, we can also buy and prepare for you..."

Seeing the naked girls with dull eyes and numb expressions all over the yard, the three Japanese policemen who still have integrity don't know what to say.

On the contrary, Ma Tong, a lily girl who has no integrity, seems to be quite calm.

"...This is the female slave you prepared? Why does it look so small! What I need is something that can be immediately assigned to the soldiers as wives!"

Ma Tong walked up to a brown-haired girl and observed it carefully.She looked very petite and slender, but she was charming nonetheless.She raised her hand and touched down the girl's shoulders until she touched the girl's buttocks, feeling the delicate softness of the skin.Then he weighed the girls' nipples separately, marveling at how this young girl's breasts could have such a heavy weight.

"... She is not young anymore, honorable lady, don't look at her a little thinner, in fact, she is 13 years old this year, and she is already old enough to marry and have children. According to her own statement, as early as two years ago Rolled in the grass with the man several times."

The slave trader hurriedly explained, "...Moreover, she, her sister, and her mother are all Babylonian goddesses who serve people. My man is so cool..."

He pointed to the two women, one big and one small next to him. This pair of brunette mother and daughter with similar looks were not tied up by ropes, and they were naturally flirting with the men around them, showing no fear at all. , coquettish seems to have become their innate instinct.

——Speaking of which, a man opened her buds at the age of 11... Although it seemed nothing in ancient times, but in modern times, it is tantamount to messing with elementary school students, okay?Could it be that there should be a compliment, elementary school students are really great? ! !
However, at this time, senior sister Ma Tong is paying more attention to another message of this "goods".

"...Babylonian goddesses? You can get such high-end goods? How can the temple of Babylon be willing to sell them?"

After hearing the slave trader's introduction, Ma Tong couldn't help being slightly surprised. She had also seized the time to study a lot of historical materials on Mesopotamian civilization, and knew that the goddesses carefully trained in various temples in Babylon City were from this era. The highest-grade "sex service providers" claim to enable pilgrims to communicate with gods while having sex with them, and they are also important assets and cash cows of those temples... so they are generally never sold easily.

"...The Goddess of Babylon is of course not available in normal times. But thanks to the blessing of Her Majesty the Daughter of the Nile River in the past two years, the Hittites and the Egyptians fought fiercely, and then flooded Assyria. It also set fire to the Tower of Babel in Babylon, which caused chaos in all directions. People everywhere lost their homes and could not survive. Babylonian priests, in order to raise the cost of rebuilding the Babel Tower of Babylon as soon as possible, have also begun to sell a large number of goddesses in their temples..."

The wretched-looking slave trader rubbed his hands with a smile, and gave an almost overwhelming answer.

—Miss Carroll, please don't go on pretending to be so innocent!In fact, you are already a sinful woman!
Ma Tong complained in his heart, and at the same time, he looked down at the 13-year-old girl with clean skin and naked clothes in front of him—if her whole family is a Babylonian goddess, it means that this girl has been a slave since she was born ...has been fully domesticated by now.

However, this also shows that the three of them, the mother and daughter, are very adaptable to being raised by men and the OOXX life of selling meat, so they should be more obedient.

She sighed, and looked at the rest of the female slaves, and found that most of them were numb and dull with resigned faces, their skin was tanned, and they hadn't worn clothes for some time, but their figures and skin It is well maintained.But there are also some naked women with very fierce expressions, their eyes are full of hatred, there are blood stains at the corners of their mouths, and their bodies are covered with whip marks, as if they have just been severely tortured.

And behind the low wall not far away, there seemed to be wailing howls and the crackling of leather whips.

"...Most of the goods look good, but what about these female slaves? It seems that they are not very obedient!"

Ma Tong pointed to one of the naked female slaves with the most fierce eyes and the most welt marks on her body, and asked in confusion.

"...Ah, these female slaves are newcomers and haven't had time to train them. If you bump into a distinguished guest, please forgive me."

The slave trader explained with a smile on his face, "...Last month, when General Uta led our fleet to the sea to meet the Daughter of the Nile, he robbed several fishing villages and ports along the way and captured these women. It has just been transported back to Knossos City, so the wildness of the body has not been polished, and it is not very obedient... But all the distinguished guests, please rest assured, as long as we give us another ten days, we will guarantee that all these women will be submissive..."

——Well, in this era without international conventions, the so-called navy is actually a pirate, and patrolling is robbery.The Royal Fleet of Crete naturally snatched it wherever it went, and only restrained itself when facing a powerful opponent who couldn't snatch it.Therefore, it was understandable at the time that General Uta took advantage of the opportunity of being ordered to meet the daughter of the Nile, and robbed houses and slaves to make extra money along the way.

In fact, not only the fleet of the Kingdom of Minos used slave hunting as a part-time job, but the Egyptian army also murdered and set fire everywhere.

For example, in a relief that you saw in the palace of Thebes in ancient Egypt, there is a vivid depiction of the scene of the Egyptian army attacking a certain city - the shirtless Egyptian warrior climbed a city with a ladder All the inhabitants of the city went out to fight them desperately, even the women were fighting the Egyptians.Because they all know what a terrible experience will be waiting for them after the fall of the city.

——Under this relief, there is such a "beautiful and moving" ballad recorded:

After destroying the country of the people of the desert, the army returned peacefully.

After ravaging the country of the desert peoples, this army returned in peace.

After overthrowing their fortified city, the army returned peacefully.

Having cut down their fig trees and vines, the army returned peacefully.

After throwing all their inhabitants into the fire, the army returned peacefully.

——In short, the Egyptian army, after burning, looting and looting as much as possible, released all its adrenaline, came back so peacefully, as innocent as a child.

Presumably after seeing this poem, everyone can understand why even women will fight in front of the Egyptian army.

But to be fair, the Egyptians were not at all brutal compared to other nations of the time.Because in the cruel and barbaric ancient society, murder and arson were the norm.The armies of various countries are against each other, and some places even retain the custom of cannibalism... Therefore, massacres like the Egyptians can already be called civilization in this era.And if the prisoners of war were brought back and sold as slaves, that would be a benevolent government!
But in any case, behind this "spring scene" of radiant flesh, there is actually a boundless scene of tragedy.The female slaves first suffered misfortune, their families were destroyed, and then they were repeatedly abused and abused by the murderers... The hatred accumulated in their hearts has naturally reached an inexorable level.

Of course, as a time traveler, Ma Tong didn't care about the miserable experience of these female slaves, only worried about whether they would be obedient.

"...Ten days? In such a short period of time, how can you make them tame?" She asked the slave trader suspiciously.

"...This is actually very easy! We are the most experienced in this area. Just let them understand that as a woman, death is not necessarily the most terrible ending. There are many ways to make life worse than death. For example, Cut off their limbs, dig out their teeth and eyes, and use them as living toys, throw them in the most filthy and most despicable places like pigpens, stables, and toilets, and be played with by people and animals until their last breath..."

The slave trader smiled and said extremely cruel words, "...the most staunch women among them will seek their own death. The remaining women who can be domesticated will put away their tears, wipe their bodies clean, and do their best to please and Serve your new master... At least you will have the opportunity to become a concubine of a rich man, or be rewarded to a commoner who has done meritorious service, and return to the role of mother and wife..."

In this regard, after being silent for a long time, Ma Tong sighed long, and then turned around and made a gesture. A dozen guards of the Minoan Palace immediately brought out five large boxes of printed silk, and moved them to the Opening it in front of the slave trader, the fat man's eyes were immediately dazzled!
——In this era, due to the backwardness of textile technology, cloth is very expensive in Western countries.The scarcity and instability of various natural dyes make dyeing cloth even more rare, and it has almost become the patent of nobles.The Phoenicians on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea accidentally discovered a shell with a natural crimson dye in it, and used it to dye cloth for sale, so they got rid of poverty and became rich in one fell swoop, and entered the stage of history.However, compared with the colorful "silk" displayed by the "men of God" at this time, the crimson cloth that the Phoenicians are proud of seems to be overshadowed.

Look, the texture of these "silks" is so soft and smooth, just like the most delicate skin of a girl, no matter how fine linen is, it can't compare with it.The color is even more astonishingly bright and gorgeous, and the appearance alone gives people a sense of luxury, and on the shining silk surface, there are also countless kinds of extremely exquisite patterns printed and dyed, from flowers, plants, birds and animals to There are all kinds of marine life... Every pattern is so gorgeous and realistic, full of novel and exotic styles, and a strange and elegant noble atmosphere.This well-informed fat businessman can swear to the gods that if anyone can transport this batch of dizzyingly gorgeous printed silk to the markets of the capitals of all countries, it will definitely make every noble lady Squeal with excitement, and let those comparison-loving dandies take out the last piece of gold and silver in their pockets!
"...Regardless of rank, appearance, and age, each female slave who passes the inspection will be exchanged for three rolls of silk, and a hundred rolls of silk will be paid here as a deposit, and the remaining silk will be delivered after all the female slaves are tamed. Is this transaction satisfactory? ?” Ma Tong crossed his arms and said to the slave trader.

"...Satisfied! Very satisfied! It's really a good rare item, thank you for your generosity!"

The slave trader casually draped a bolt of red peony-patterned silk satin over his shoulders, rolled it up and put it back in the box after making gestures—in this barbaric age when human lives were cheap, the price of slaves was extremely low. A slave can only be exchanged for one piece of cloth, and five slaves can be exchanged for one horse.Although the female slaves sold this time are considered high-quality goods, the price is not comparable to those stupid and ugly ordinary slaves.But to be able to exchange for such a luxurious and gorgeous textile, in his opinion, it is already worth the money.

"...In this case, our deal has been concluded. Later, you will send the domesticated female slave to the palace." Ma Tong snapped his fingers, "...Of course, don't play tricks on me. For example, the package is dropped halfway, otherwise, you should know what will happen..."

"...Hehehe, how is this possible? I will not make fun of my reputation. You are welcome to continue to patronize my business next time..."

The chubby slave trader had laugh lines all over his face, and he kept rubbing his hands.And his pals chimed in with obsequious laughs.

But some of the naked "goods" standing in the courtyard, for some reason, sobbed miserably and desperately amidst the laughter, and were soon forced to silence under the suppression of the thugs—since they were " Goods", then there is no right to cry, because in this place, some people get everything they want, while some people are bound to lose everything they have.These weeping naked women are the most honest epitome of this cruel era.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the way back to the palace, the three Japanese policemen were very silent, and it was Ma Tong who first raised the topic.

"... I went to the slave market just now and saw what happened to those women. What do you think about it?"

"...I feel that these women are really pitiful! Sitting safely at home, they will all be taken away as slaves."

Nakaoka Asami flinched slightly, and whispered, "...Moreover, I didn't expect a real female slave to look like this..."

——In the police academy in Japan, she also learned the tragic experience of Filipino illegal immigrants who were deceived into Japan by smugglers, lost their personal freedom, were forced to work illegally or as prostitutes, and squeezed out their blood and sweat alive. Live the life of a slave.But now after seeing the authentic female slaves in BC, I realized that the tragedies of those illegal immigrants in later generations are nothing. The female slaves in this era are basically not allowed to wear clothes. There is only a rope tied around the waist, like a dog or a horse all day long, kneeling beside its master and doing the most humble things, without any dignity and status at all, and their own spirit of resistance has long been wiped out, just like The walking dead.

If you have to make an analogy, the feeling to modern people is basically the same as the house elves in "Harry Potter"-when the master rewards the slave girl with clothes, it often means exempting her from slavery , promoted to concubine or something.

"...No way, this is the cruel truth of the slave society. Everything is respected by force. Morality, law and human rights are all jokes. If you can't always be vigilant and break away from the protection of the team, then you will end up in the zombie apocalypse It doesn't make any difference if you leave the team and walk away."

Ma Tong warned the two women coldly and calmly, "...Just like the slave women we bought, any woman who has no ability to protect herself has no status in this era. Whoever catches you is his slave. Don't expect you to be as lucky as the Daughter of the Nile! On the night when you are unfortunately caught, you will be held down by a man or even several men on the bed to do whatever you want, and then you will be arrested the next day. Take all your clothes, just tie a rope around your waist to declare your slave girl status, and then use a whip to force you to do all the dirty and tiring work. Of course, after the day's work is done, the night And keep getting fucked in his bed until he's sick of you..."

"...But, even in this slave society before BC, not everyone would be so cruel!"

The little policewoman Asami Nakaoka continued unwillingly, "...just like the Xieji family that Kyrol met on the banks of the Nile River when she first came to ancient Egypt, they were very friendly to her and didn't want to take her away at all. It means to treat Carol as prey."

"...Yes, if you are very lucky, there is a possibility. After all, there are good people in any world."

Senior sister Ma Tong nodded, "...But Carol is the protagonist of this world, so he has such luck, but you don't have the blessing of the protagonist's halo. Therefore, after arriving at the colony, please be sure to use your best You maliciously speculate about your neighbors, and you don’t forget to hold a sword while smiling. Otherwise, it will be too late when you are stripped naked and taken to this market to bid for sale..."

——In an instant, the two policewomen couldn't help shaking slightly, deeply feeling the malice of this era and the cruelty of this world...

Next, watching the sun set, Wang Qiu, who had been doing business in the Palace Square for most of the day, took advantage of the opportunity to put away his stall, and went back to the palace together, ready to see Doraemon and Kai Luo who stayed behind. Er, how are you doing with that little cocoon king.

As a result, as soon as Wang Qiu entered the dormitory, he was stunned to see a majestic lion roaring towards him, and his legs gave way in fright, and he fell to the ground.When he managed to get up with the door frame and took a look, he found that the dimly lit semi-underground bedroom of King Minos had turned into a beautiful and vast African prairie, with herds of lions, antelopes and Giraffes are haunting the grass, and the white snow on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen in the distance...

"...Damn it! Doraemon, it turns out that you are using the [indoor travel machine] to see the scenery!"
