Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 423: The Commodity of Slaves

The words spoken by the masked slave owner reflected the current general situation of the orc slaves. Except for a very small number of high-level orcs, most of the orc slaves could hardly enjoy any medical care, and it was basically impossible for the slave owners to hire medical sorcerers for these low-priced slaves.

Being sick or seriously injured basically means that the orc has been transformed from a slave into a disposable consumable. Rather than spending money on treatment, it is more profitable to turn these orcs into disposable commodities. This is also an important reason why the average life expectancy of orcs has always been ranked last among all races.

Bai Hao did not show any compassionate expression, which was inappropriate in the underground slave market. Xing Lili, who was also an orc, also had an indifferent expression. She was long past the age of empathizing with the orc slaves. Now there was only Bai Hao in her life.

On the contrary, Olmia on the side was a little angry. Although she had known about these things for a long time, the Moon Goddess Sect could not make the slave trade disappear from the continent. This kind of trade behavior that benefits all parties is difficult to be completely abolished, even in Orleans, where the sect’s headquarters is located.

The most typical characteristics of orc slaves are that they are cheap and practical, which is an advantage that no other race has. They are much more convenient than ordinary human slaves, and their inherent physical advantages allow them to perform most high-intensity work.

Moreover, since they were a different race, most nobles had no psychological burden when enslaving or torturing orc slaves. After all, the Central Plains was the religious territory of the Goddess of the Moon. If they used the same means to harm humans of the same race, most nobles would still feel "unbearable", at least not on the surface.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, orcs are not equal to humans, but a special commodity. When you spend money to buy an orc, he becomes your private property. How you treat him is harmless and does not violate any public morals.

This view is shared by the vast majority of people, and there are even many such voices within the Cult of the Moon Goddess. Some people claim that the sect's salvation is only applicable to humans, and that orcs, due to their lowly status, are not worthy of enjoying the blessings of the Moon Goddess.

Although the highest saints of the Moon Goddess sect in all generations do not agree with this view, people like Olmia strictly follow the doctrine, treat all lives equally, and believe that all living beings are eligible for salvation.

This is why when Bai Hao proposed to ask the Bright Moon Cult members who were proficient in medical magic to help heal the orc slaves, he immediately got Olmya's approval, so that the subsequent implementation work was carried out very quickly.

Because she has two souls in one heart, the fighting-loving Olmia also agrees very much with her sister's ideas. After being influenced by her sister's teachings for many years, Olmia has even become more radical. At this moment, her face is full of displeasure, and she does not hide it at all.

After several slave owners introduced themselves, Bai Hao stopped writing with his quill. He then stood up and said softly, "Take me to see those orcs. I hope you don't mind me using wide-area magic to inspect the goods."

"Haha, how could that be? We all know these rules," the masked slave owner stood up and saluted Bai Hao, then raised his arm elegantly to point the way, "Follow me, there is a secret passage leading up and down here."

Several slave owners are now very excited because Bai Hao is definitely an unprecedented big customer. In previous correspondence, Bai Hao attached his identity certificate from the Elf Gold Bank, which perfectly proved that Bai Hao has a deposit of at least one million gold coins.

Although the slave owners still did not know Bai Hao's exact identity, Jin Xing's identity credentials could not be forged. Bai Hao also specifically proposed to purchase one-time orc slaves for four-digit amounts, which surprised the slave owners even more.

After all, these disposable orc slaves are often left rotting in Scott's hands. Although Scott's market still welcomes these inferior orc slaves, in general, the supply is far from meeting the demand. Sometimes these disposable orc slaves even become free gifts.

And now, there is actually a "big grudge" with a net worth of millions who is willing to buy a large amount of their leftover goods. How can this not make the slave owners ecstatic? Although the price will definitely be lower, it is much better than not being able to sell them and letting them rot in their hands.

Bai Hao nodded, then took Olmia's hand and walked forward. He was afraid that this hot-tempered Saint Lady would make a scene here. After all, Olmia always liked to do things quickly, and the word "forbearance" had never existed in her dictionary.

"Olmya, please ask your sister to come out. I miss her a little..." Bai Hao transmitted the message while walking.

"Humph, do you think I'm a child? Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. My sister can't stand the smell here, but she doesn't like to vomit in front of you even more, so she won't come out again until she leaves the underground slave market!"

Bai Hao was speechless after hearing this. Aren't you two using the same body? Why are the stress responses between different souls so different? Olmia had no reaction to the sour smell at all, while Olmia couldn't stand it at all.

But come to think of it, Olmia is reserved by nature and only allows herself to use some relatively traditional and boring positions in bed, even though her body reactions are very interesting, while her sister has a lot of tricks, sometimes even more fancy than herself.

The difference in personality between the two sisters is too great. When communicating with Olmia's body, it is always Bai Hao who is moaning, while in stark contrast to Olmia, it is Bai Hao who is constantly screaming. From this point of view, Bai Hao cannot understand why the two women are sharing the same body.

Could it be that the switching of souls would also lead to changes in the sensitivity of the body? This is an academic question worth exploring. Bai Hao plans to go back and make a research plan specifically for the physical reactions of one heart and two souls.
