After playing a lot in the neighborhood, Solandel got tired, so the three of them found a breakfast shop to drink soy milk.

Solandel was halfway through drinking when she suddenly stared in one direction.

Lorna looked up and asked: "What's wrong?"

 Solandel said silently: "Look over there."

Chino and Lorna looked back and saw that a shop was restocking goods. The boss was sitting on a carriage, drinking hot tea and lazily directing the slaves to carry heavy objects, and these slaves were all underage children.

　In Doguland, child labor is not illegal. Many poor families with poor income will try their best to have more children, and then sell the children to the nobles as slaves, or simply work as slaves with the whole family in exchange for monthly coins and shelter.

According to the "Doguland Code", signing a deed of sale and being branded as a slave is equivalent to voluntarily giving up citizenship rights, no longer protected by the code, and no longer considered a human being, but an "animal", no different from a pig, cow or sheep, the owner

They can freely decide their lives - this code principle was not even set by the ruler of a certain kingdom, but was inherited from the Sun King, the leader of the gods.

 No, some of the children were too thin and were very slow in carrying heavy objects, so they were immediately whipped by the boss.

There was also a little boy and a little girl among them, they must be a brother and sister. In order to prevent his sister from being whipped, the brother protected her with his body, which aroused the boss's ferocity and hit him even harder, hitting him on the back.

Dripping with blood.

　Pedestrians occasionally stood and watched, but soon dispersed.

 Let alone beating slaves, even if these slaves were killed in the street, no one would care.

　A slave is no longer a human being after being branded as a slave, and the life of a slave is not protected by the law. This has been a concept since ancient times.

Solandel looked at these tortured children and said quietly: "I have been thinking that if the kingdom's schools can relax restrictions and no longer have the regulations of silver moon settlement, or allow private schools to exist, these children can have a good life."

Opportunities to go to school, gain knowledge, and change one's own destiny. Instead of like now, where one's origin determines everything."

Lorna didn’t know how to answer the question, so she simply picked up a chair and said, “I’m going to beat up that boss.”

Chino shook his head: "You are not helping those children, you are harming them."

 “Why?” Lorna was confused.

Chino: "Because you haven't changed the status quo. After you beat someone, the boss is still the boss and the slave is still a slave."

Lorna said forcefully: "Then I will give him a warning. He is not allowed to beat the children to vent his anger in the future. He must feed and clothe them and treat them well. I am a noble from the royal family. How dare he disobey me?"

Kino gave a short smile: "He does not dare to ignore your warning, but instead of treating slaves well, he will choose another more economical method - sell these slaves and then buy a new batch of slaves. To

What are you going to do? Fly over from Lenglie Valley and give you another warning?"

"Taking a step back, even if the boss really treats these children well in order to please you, what will other slaves under him think? They will think: We are also slaves, why can you eat well and wear good clothes, while I have to suffer here?

?Jealousy is a terrible emotion. These children will be ostracized by other slaves and their lives will be worse."

After hesitating for a while, Lorna said bravely: "Then I will buy them all and send them to Tayu Province to work as servants. I won't mistreat them. Is that okay?"

Chino: "No problem, but it's still meaningless. You can help individual slaves, but not all slaves. Can you buy all the slaves in the kingdom?"

 Lorna was speechless.

Perhaps because of her youth and arrogance, or perhaps because she wanted to show off in front of Solandel, Lorna snorted heavily, carried the bench and said: "I can't help everyone, but I can at least help these people in front of me, even if I can help

Just one is fine.”

 After saying that, she rushed over carrying the bench.

The boss was having a good time drinking tea when suddenly there was a "bang", his head was buzzing, and he was knocked off the carriage.

He stretched out his hand and touched it, and there was blood all over it. He turned around and cursed at Lorna: "God damn it, why did you hit me?!"

Lorna said coldly: "Why are you beating these children?"

 The boss laughed angrily: "If I beat my slave, what does it have to do with you?"

Lorna said nothing and said: "Then if I beat you, what does it have to do with you?"

 The boss covered his head with a question mark on his face.

Lorna carried a bench and whipped her boss wildly, making him howl like a ghost. He kept crying: "Soldiers! Are there any soldiers? There is a madwoman here!"

 The security in the royal city is excellent, and soldiers arrived within half a minute.

When the captain saw someone fighting in the street during the New Year, he immediately felt unlucky and shouted: "Someone! Take her down!"

 Lorna threw down her stool, took out her Sequence 2 badge, and said coldly: "The Four Wings are here, who dares to step forward?!"

Screams came from everywhere, and the soldiers were frightened.

The girl in front of me, who looks like she is not yet an adult, is actually one of the four wings of the Legnorm family and the twenty-four dragonriders of the Cold Lie Valley?

 The boss was frightened half to death. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to express his anger: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I...I didn't know you were the Dragon Knight..."

The soldiers also shrank their heads, like mice seeing cats.

Most of the soldiers in the royal city are of noble origin and have a higher status than ordinary soldiers. However, they are still several levels behind in front of the royal family, let alone the noble dragon knights.

Lorna threw the stool to the frightened children and said, "Come on, why does he beat you? Now beat him back!"

The children and the boss stared at each other, trembling and saying: "Sir, he is our master, we can't do this..."

Lorna put her hand on her waist: "From today on, he is no longer your master. I will send you to the Tayu Province immediately to work as a servant in a friendlier noble family. Therefore, if you have any grudges, quickly avenge him and flatten him!"

"

 Long-term oppression has prevented children from being arrogant, and the thoughts of slavery have long been ingrained in their minds, and no one dares to touch them.

But the brother and sister must have just been sold into slavery not long ago, and their thoughts have not yet been enslaved. When the brother thought that his sister was always bullied by the boss in the past, and now she has the support of a more powerful noble, he immediately grabbed the bench and twisted it with a "bang"

The boss’s front teeth.

 “Okay!” Lorna applauded wildly.

In this way, Lorna instigated the children to take crazy revenge on the boss, then took them as her own, and asked the soldiers to contact the inn and send them all to the Tayu Province one by one.

The most ridiculous thing is that Lorna did not pay the ransom, and the boss did not dare to ask for it. So he lost a dozen slaves for no reason and even received a severe beating. It was a sudden disaster.

Solandel looked at this scene and did not feel amused or relieved. Instead, she lowered her head and said quietly: "Kino, I have read many books. Throughout the ages, the slave class has always existed, and the idea that 'slaves are not human' has also existed.

It is recognized by everyone. But I don’t know why, even if every book says so, even if this rule was first established by the great Sun King, I just feel that this understanding is wrong..."

Chino: "The things in the book are not completely correct. It is better to believe in the book than to have no book at all. The same has been known throughout the ages - it has always been like this, does it mean it is right?"

 Solandel raised her head, her tone was very urgent, as if she was trying to catch a ray of light in the darkness: "So, you think the same as me?!"

"My thoughts are not important to you. What is important is that you stick to your own thoughts and not be moved by others." Kino gave an ambiguous answer.

"My idea is...slaves should not be treated as animals, they are also human beings..." Solandel pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Do you think anything can change this?"

Chino: "The sun grants kingship, and the concept that slaves are not human is inherited from the Sun King, the leader of the gods. In addition, it is in line with the interests of the ruling class, which naturally forms an impregnable system. If the system does not change, this kind of thing will always exist."

 “Is there no other way...”

"unless--"

"unless?"

 “Unless you change the world.”

 Unless you change the world...

This sentence has lingered in Solandel's ears for a long time, seeming to be true and imaginary.

On the first day of the 513th year of the Fire Calendar, a seed was planted in the heart of the little princess who had just turned 12 years old.

The God of Death, who is familiar with people's hearts and knows no tricks, may not have thought of how much impact his words would have on others and himself.

　　The first time primitive man looked up at the stars, it was destined that mankind would set foot on the sea of ​​stars tens of millions of years later.
