Chapter 294 – Classes (1/2)
The highest place was the palace of the Lord. It is a good place to overlook the city.
“I heard that in order to build that high place, many slaves died.” said someone.
This was the difference between the tribes and the slave masters.
In the tribes, people rarely, on purpose, built a place like that. Instead, they build on high places like trees and mountains.
But the tribes would not spend a lot of manpower and resources to build a tall palace.
“Let’s go. We can rest in the city tonight.” said Huang Ye.
Others finally cheered up as they were very curious about the city that the slave master owned.
There were walls made of sandy soil around the Fallen Leaves City, with an average height of about ten meters. It looked like they had been standing there for many years.
There were some slaves around the walls. In the territory of slave masters, slaves were the majority.
The slaves with dark and cracked skin, holding sharp-edged spears, looked at the people who came over, and shouted at them.
Shao Xuan couldn’t understand their words, but someone in the team understood. The person in the team replied and then threw something that was the size of a palm to those slaves, which should be some kind of certificate.
Sure enough, after seeing that thing, the slaves guarding the gate stepped aside and the huge wooden door was also opened.
Shao Xuan followed the team. As for Chacha, it followed the two eagles of the Hui tribe, both of which knew the way as they did not come there for the first time.
In the city, houses made of sandy soil were densely packed everywhere. Those houses were not large and their shapes were irregular. It may be more accurate to call them as “nests” rather than houses, since they seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any time. These houses were where the lower-level slaves lived.
Further in, they saw some stone-built houses, which were bigger.
In a corner of Fallen Leaves City, there was a large area where slaves rarely appeared. Most of the people who lived there were tribesmen.
Like everyone else, Shao Xuan thought that there was an absolute contradiction between tribesmen and slave masters before they came to the city. However, this was not the case. The tribesmen appeared to have a different attitude towards different slave masters and the relationship between the Lord of Fallen Leaves City and the tribesmen was like that of a partnership. There were even some places like embassies in the city.
In addition to the people of the traveling team, some people were already stationed there. Maybe because they had lived there for a long time, their skin had become darker. If people ignored the tribal clothing on them, it looked no different from the people in the city.
Because there was no special “embassy” for the three people, they had to rest in some small houses, which were made of sand and soil. Being used to pile up sundries before, these small houses were temporarily vacated for the three people. When they entered the houses, they could smell a rotten odor.
In other people’s opinion, the three people from the Flaming Horn tribe were just going through the game. They would not tell them their plans and activities.
Shao Xuan and the other two people had long felt the sense of rejection. However, as they didn’t know how long they had to live in such a place, the three people were not happy.
Lei pushed the stone wall on the side and despised, “Not strong enough.”
