Chapter 345
C345 – Living Records
Posted on March 25, 2019 by AzureOrchid92
Not long after the three people went in, Shao Xuan heard the sound of a click followed by the voice of the blind slave.
In many desert cities, some slave owners do not want to see the records left by the ancestors. They couldn’t bear to have to study it, and were told to treat it with care and couldn’t be damaged. Over time, those who specifically look at the ancestors’ records were getting fewer and fewer.
Later, there were slave owners who arranged for their slaves to read the records and ordered them to memorize all the records they had seen. When they wanted to know something, the slaves in charge of remembering would recite it skillfully.
As a result, such a class of slaves dedicated to memorizing their records was created. Their full duty was to recite all the records for their masters.
These people were like living records. The slave owners could always have them in tow. Whenever they wanted to know something, they just needed to ask one. They could even be set to fight.
Shao Xuan listened to the sounds next door as he sneaked inside the stone room. Those two people were in really high spirits while just messing around, though still listening, of course!
However, the old slave whose voice has no ups and downs, was calm and not affected by the two people’s actions. Calmer than even Shao Xuan who speculated that the experience of the old man was just too deep.
For the chaotic relationship between the slaves and their owners, Shao Xuan did not have time to think more. The stone room contained a lot of skin rolls, wooden rolls, cloth rolls and others, which made Shao Xuan very excited. He finally found it!
Was it because, unfortunately, the slaves who betrayed the slave owners failed to succeed? Or was it just a pity for the others? Shao Xuan was not sure.
Seeing that the old slave continued to pity those slaves, Shao Xuan hastened to pull the subject back.
“How much do you know about the fire of the tribes?” Shao Xuan asked.
“Fire. It’s really a word I miss.” The old slave paused and seemed to recall a memory of a long time ago. “I don’t know much about this, but only that the fire of the tribe is weakening. Your tribesmen seem to be looking for a solution too.”
The old slave could not answer more questions about the fire which made Shao Xuan a little disappointed. However, what the old slave knew was already enough.
“If the slave owners of Snowfield City can keep the records left by their ancestors, perhaps you can find the answers you want. Unfortunately… there’s too much damage!” The old slave was very emotional.
Shao Xuan’s expression changed. Should he really look for Shi Shu? He knew that Shi Shu had planted a pit there, should he still jump in? Shao Xuan was a little hesitant.
Without getting an answer about the tribe’s fire, Shao Xuan asked a question he had been puzzled about, “Where did the slave owners come from?”
“From the sea.” The old slave replied.
Shao Xuan: “…” You think I’m an idiot?
Hey, guys!
I saw a new translator for CoPW in NovelUpdates, with indicated update sched of 2-3 chapters/week. Translation was better than the last one so we may not have to depend on my edited MTL if the new translator managed to catch up. I’ll still stick to editing the MTL though. (^o^)
