Mage Joan

Joan also heard about the **** slave trade on the east coast of the New World. When he lived in Port Leiden, he also visited the slave trading market accompanied by Thomas Chap, and stripped off the kind of living people. I was deeply impressed by the shackles as a farm animal auction.

Among Joan’s friends, those with rich family backgrounds, such as Thomas Chap, Edward Gates, and even the kind-hearted Sister Castis, have slaves at home.

As a native of the South, although Joan and his friends were more or less influenced by the Enlightenment Thought, deep down he believed that slavery was a disgraceful thing, but the traditional power was more powerful, and he was just beginning to accept the new ideas. The younger generation has neither the courage nor the knowledge to change this tradition.

Joan is from a small farming family in a small town. He has never used slaves since childhood. If someone stands up and calls for the abolition of slavery, he is happy to support it, and he does not feel that his life will be affected by the abolition of this barbaric and backward system. What effect.

But the "slave masters" like Thomas, Edward and Castis who were inseparable from the time they were born are different. If the slaves in the family are dismissed, who will do the laundry and cook for them, who will cultivate the farmland for them, and graze cattle and horses ?

If slavery is abolished, masters and young ladies like them, once out of the environment where they rely on slaves to serve their meals and clothing, I am afraid they do not know how to live on their own hands.

Even a paladin like George Vasa, Joan’s model of character, although he had not purchased a slave himself, but also inherited many slaves from the deceased father and brother, and has always enjoyed the slavery belt silently Benefits.

Joan had privately discussed with Vaasa about the "plantation slavery" practiced in the South. Vaasa's attitude may represent the highest moral level of contemporary Southern slave owners:

"Slavery is very immoral and should be abolished, but this deep-rooted tradition has too much impact on all aspects of society, and it will not be abolished overnight. Our generation may not be able to solve this problem. Be a better slave, and leave the great mission of abolishing slavery to future generations."

George Vassar also revealed to Joan that although he could not change slavery personally, he decided to write this paragraph in his will:

"After my death, the heirs of the estate must dismiss all the slaves in my name and pay a certain amount of money to enable them to live a dignified life as ‘free people’.”

Based on Joan’s knowledge of George Vassar, he believed that this man would definitely do it.

But Vassar did not publicly express his willingness to liberate his slaves when he was alive, and only dared to reveal his conscience in his will. The inner contradictions and entanglements embodied in this are the true portrayal of contemporary Southern society.

In absolute terms, the slaves in the northern colonies are far less than those in the south, and the voice of the upper class against slavery is stronger.

But this does not mean that slave colonies are prohibited in the northern colonies. In fact, slavery is also popular in the north.

It is only limited by the harsh climate and natural environment. The north does not have as many large plantations with tens of thousands of acres in the south. Agriculture is relatively backward, and industry is more developed.

In the north, it is the owners of large factories and large mines who replace the main planters of the south to play the role of “slave owners”. The slaves are locked in factories and mines to work all day, and the treatment is even worse than in the southern plantations, and the mortality rate is The South is much higher, and if a group of slaves is killed, a new group of slaves will be required to replace the former.

With the increasing demand for slaves in factories and mines in the north, this has provided **** soil for people like Francis Metzinger.

Francis Metzinger, a greedy and cruel slave trader and pirate captain, has the title of parliament, huge wealth, and many cruel gangsters to drive him. The power is huge.

Hailar offended such a big man, Joanne was scared for her, and asked her if she would get on the boat tonight and hid in the cabin of the Mercury to avoid the wind.

"There is no need to hide, here is Freeport! Not to mention the few running dogs under Maisinger, even if Francis Mesinger stood here, hum, he would not dare to treat me!" Hailar may be a wine He got his head up and boasted proudly: "Hear it all, don't be scared! Tell you a little secret, in fact Lord Freer Lord Herr, hum... is my dad!"

"Wow~ You're so good!" Holden applauded with a smile, with a smile of ridicule. "As everyone knows, Lord Herrell is a storm giant. The average height of the storm giant must be 20 feet. ?You claim to be a great lord, but do you have a height of five feet? This kind of cow is blowing out, it is insulting our IQ!"

Hailar's pretty face rose red, and he defended himself in the face of Holden's question: "I didn't brag..."

"Good! I believe you didn't brag!" Holden imitated Hailar's tone with a tone of voice, and said mysteriously, "Hey! I haven't concealed things till now, I tell you a little secret, actually My origin is inexplicable, but it is from the prince of a big country in the old world..."

"Go to you!" Hailar grabbed the glass and threw it at him. "If you really are a prince... Joan is the Archmage!"

Joan couldn't help but whispered and declared in a hurry: "I'm not! I don't! You blow your cows, don't slap me!"

The three young people talked while eating, as if there were endless topics.

Although Joan is not good at chatting, he mainly plays the listeners of Hailar and Holden, and often has to come forward to mediate the quarrel between the two, but surprisingly he is not bored, but feels very relaxed, and even reminds him of Castilles. The weekend time spent in the sister's home has become particularly relaxed and comfortable.

This lunch lasted until the evening, and the three men with enough food and drinks left the "Mermaid's Arm" tavern, which saved even dinner.

Taking into account the advice of Seagull "Kate", out of safety, Joan had no intention of hanging out on the street and proposed to go directly back to the hotel. Both Hailar and Holden had no opinions, and followed Joan to the hotel where he stayed yesterday, and each opened a room to take a rest and sleep well. He had to get up early on board tomorrow.

Joan went back to his room, after washing, he studied his homework as usual, and read through the recently copied spells, focusing on those spells that had not been completely mastered. Time passed by minute and second until the midnight bell sounded.

Joan was interrupted by the bell, looked up at the dimly lit street outside the window, and got up to move his sedentary limbs for a long time. Suddenly thinking of Hailar's suggestion to apply for the exam, he returned to his desk, opened the table of contents of the spell book, looked at the familiar spell names in front of him, and fell into thought.
