Chapter 299
C299 – Are You Really Not a Shaman?
Posted on November 5, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
Shao Xuan was inside their house, burying his head in a room.
He wrote down the set of language used by the slave owners that he had learned about in this period of time. Each time he has a new experience, he would also record it.
Shao Xuan also forced Lei and Tuo to learn these words. Even if they could not fully learn it, as long as they can understand some, it would still be good. They wouldn’t be deceived by the slaves and slave owners. In this land of the slave owners, they would have it easier if they knew more about it.
There was a saying that ‘sharpening the axe does not harm the woodcutter’. This was the reason they now have food and did not need to rush out to do other things. The first the two had to understand was the most basic things to say.
When Su Gu came over, Lei and Tuo were looking at those complicated words, feeling dizzy. They were then allowed to take a rare break because of the arrival of Su Gu.
Shao Xuan looked up at Su Gu who rushed in. He stopped his pen, rolled up the animal skin rolls full of written text and put it aside.
“What is it?” Shao Xuan asked after packing up.
Rushing into the house, Su Gu was panting as he took two steps towards Shao Xuan. The palm of his hand patted the table. “I ask you…”
“No.” Shao Xuan affirmed.
“If not, then how did you predict about the ‘water’?” Su Gu reluctantly said.
“It is not a necessity to be a shaman to predict it.”
When Su Gu heard that, he sat slumped in the stone stool, looking disheartened.
Shao Xuan thought about it and asked, “There is no shaman in your city?”
“There are no shamans in many cities,” said Su gu. “As far as I know, there are three cities with shamans, and there are over twenty cities in the desert!”
For the slave owners, a shaman was not necessary. A city only needed one master.
“The power of your tribe comes from the fire seed, while our strength exists in our veins.” Su Gu stretched out his hand.
Shao Xuan saw it. On Su Gu’s hand, a blue flame gradually emerged.
What surprised Shao Xuan was that when Su Gu made these blue flames, at the edge of the “eggshell” in his mind, a flame suddenly appeared. It was not big, but very obvious.
Seeing this flame for the first time, Shao Xuan’s heart jumped out at the fire!
However, this was somewhat different from the fire seed of the tribes.
Shao Xuan suddenly had a thought. The slave owners did not need a fire seed. Was it because of the power of the fire not existing in the outside world but in their bodies?
Inside his mind, the “eggshell”, the sudden appearance of the flame, the red flame and the blue flame mixed together, seeming a bit chaotic.
Su Gu looked at the blue fire that came out of his hand as he spoke, “A successful slave owner must have the ability to enslave people. This ‘slavery’ does not mean an ordinary slave, but for a person who has no relationship to become a special slave to himself. The greater the power of slavery, the more slaves the slave owners could have.”
As for the king of the city, he was the slave owner with the highest capacity of slavery with many slaves under his command. Of course, the other slave owners, even if they could enslave more slaves, could not cross the king of the city. Otherwise, they would be regarded as someone with ulterior motives. In addition to the big slave owners, other slave owners were more or less able to own some of their own slaves. However, in Luoye City, Su Gu was the only one who has not been able to have his own slaves. He was a slave owner who was considered a waste in the others’ eyes.
Su Gu did not explain how they enslave people. But based on what Su Gu said, Shao Xuan could tell that the slave owners’ ability to enslave people seemed to be similar to their imprinting of the ferocious beasts, but more hegemonic.
The blue flame in Su Gu’s hand also let Shao Xuan thought of the way he used the engraving secret technique when he engraved it on Caesar.
Su Gu has been staring at the blue fire in his hand, not knowing what to think of it as he fell into meditation. Shao Xuan was also inside his mind, studying the flame that appeared in the “eggshell”.
The red and blue interlaced flames were weaker compared to earlier. The separated and scattered blue flames were slowly gathering.
“Oh, forget it. You don’t understand. You tribes don’t need to worry about these.”
Su Gu put away the fire in his hands. Inside Shao Xuan’s mind, that strange flame also gradually disappeared.
Leaving the tribal area with regret, Su Gu returned to the palace. After a meal, he confined himself in his room and began his required daily enslavement exercise.
He didn’t know if it was just an illusion, but Su Gu thought that today, his use of his enslavement ability was a lot smoother. Although it still did not reach the standard of slavery, but, compared to yesterday, there was an improvement.
