The Secret Garden of the Dandelion Troupe - #261 - Chapter 261 Slave Smuggling

Overgrown mountain forests, caves hidden in the tangled vegetation.

It’s damp, dark, and has rough traces of artificial construction.

Mu Hua was brought here by one of Kunna’s men. There were still some recently dead bodies lying in the cave.

“Do you still want these?” Mu Hua asked the young man leading the way, pointing to a corpse.

“No, we will find a place to bury them later.” The young man replied.

The light shone on the corpse, and Mu Hua put the corpse into the Fenyuan furnace. As the dust spread, the young man who led the way took a few steps away from Mu Hua as if he was taboo.

This should be Vito’s hiding place, and those who died should be Vito’s men. Although they may just be some gangsters, they are dead, and it would be a waste to bury them.

Mu Hua conveniently put them into the Fenyuan Furnace. They did not get the skill stone or the Secret Stone of Hundred Refinements, but they got some soul fragments and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Based on the idea that mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, Mu Hua cleaned up the corpses all the way, while the young man leading the way staggered farther and farther away from Mu Hua.

“Ahem, don’t get me wrong. Compared to your careless handling of the corpse, this way you respect the deceased more.”

I also met some of Kunna’s men along the way. When I saw Mu Hua using soul fire to dispose of the corpse, he was given more disgusting looks. Mu Hua could not help but explain.

“Yes, you are right.” The young man replied in agreement, but the look in his eyes that seemed to be looking at something dirty made Mu Hua want to beat him.

He had no specific idea about the soul fire thrown by Mu Hua, but as a necromancer who actively disposed of corpses, the young man did not want to know the details of how those corpses were disposed of.

“Mu, are you here?” Seeing Mu Hua, Kunna greeted Mu Hua with a solemn expression.

This is a cave prison. At this time, in addition to Kunna and a few of her men, there are forty or fifty timid humans.

These people were imprisoned in individual cages, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

“You asked me to come back because of them? Are these people smuggled by Vito?” His eyes glanced at the cage. Ed and Dena were already lying dead. Mu Hua conveniently put their bodies into Fenyuan Furnace.

Obviously Vito should have been killed, and Kunna had no intention of taking Ed and Dana as her subordinates.

“It’s not human smuggling, it’s slave smuggling. Vito is a madman. These are well-trained slaves. They can sign a slavery contract with anyone at any time.” Kunna explained, and Mu Hua’s heart tightened.

It’s just verbal slavery. The mental state of the people in these prisons seems to be relatively normal, and slaves who can sign a slavery contract cannot be trained casually.

Maybe Mu Hua had never seen much of the world, but he had often heard about cruel and dark things.

There are about fifty people imprisoned here. If you want to train these fifty people, you will have to die ten times or even dozens of times. You can’t even hope to train slaves of this quality.

Can you brainwash a sane slave by turning on electrotherapy and just using your mouth? Oh, don’t make trouble. . .

Vito would occasionally show up in town, and he seemed relatively normal. Mu Hua didn’t think he had the ability to train such a slave.

However, even if it is smuggling and selling, doing this kind of business is much worse than simply smuggling people.

“You said Vito was also trying to train slaves? He also killed some people? Where did he get so many people? Are there people from the town among them?” After a brief exchange with Kunna, Mu Hua asked with a frown.

“No, he is very cautious in doing things. Most of the people he imprisons are from the courtyard.”

“In some historic courtyards, wars also broke out between human forces.”

“Vito bought some refugees at low prices and prepared to train them into slaves and sell them at high prices. At the same time, he probably wanted to increase his popularity among the underground forces,” Kunna explained.

Courtyards have existed in the human world for thousands of years, and it would be no exaggeration to say that some of the courtyards that appeared earlier have a long history.

Even leaving aside the gardens controlled by humans, in the long-term tug-of-war with monsters, humans will establish city-states and kingdoms in monster gardens.

There is no doubt that humans are aggressive.

Prisoners and refugees caused by war are inevitable.

Although many human forces and even most countries in the human world will accept these refugees, the phenomenon of illegal human trafficking cannot be avoided.

“Is this the first batch? Where is Vito’s previous family?” Mu Hua asked Kunna after looking at the ‘finished slaves’ in the cage for a moment.

The underworld and the underworld must always have their own channels for making money, not only to make money, but also to label themselves.

That guy Vito probably wants to follow the route of a slave trader. If this allows him to build production and sales channels, he will inevitably get in touch with some underground forces with strong strength.

If this is the case, even if he gets rid of him, it might cause some chaos in the town.

There may not necessarily be any big trouble, but Mu Hua regards the town as his new home in the future, and he doesn’t like those bullshit things happening frequently in the town.

“It probably hasn’t been shipped yet. That bastard is a lunatic. He paid full price for the goods and didn’t have any sales. At least that’s what he said before he died.” Kunna’s answer made Mu Hua frown.

“Haha, that’s not a mistake for you. How are you going to deal with these people?” Mu Hua relaxed and smiled at Kunna.

“Vito doesn’t know the importance, we don’t dare to touch these slaves.” Kunna shook her head and smiled bitterly.

“Most of the people here have family members in the outside world, some have been deceived, and some have been kidnapped. If they are not killed, it is necessary to reunite them with their families.” Kunna lowered her voice.

“The other part was either sold by their families or has no family. I asked you to come here to ask if you want to take in these people.” Kunna asked Mu Hua.

Training slaves is against humanity. What is ridiculous is that some people regard brainwashing and training as ability and quality, but regard prostitution as a natural law.

Regardless of whether it is the human world or the courtyard, using humans as training objects is an act that will be resisted and rejected.

Some adventurer forces would even spontaneously assassinate slave traders, which is why Kunna said that Vito didn’t know the importance.

“What are you going to do if I don’t take you in?” Mu Hua asked, understanding what Kunna meant.

Unlike ordinary people who are imprisoned and sold, here are all well-trained slaves. Although they look like ordinary people, to a certain extent, they have been spoiled.

Even if they don’t sign a slavery contract with them, they still have very high obedience and loyalty.

Yes, these people cannot sign a slave contract with them. Even if they can sign a slave contract, such people who have been forcibly trained are also among the protected and persecuted groups.

You can hire them and take them in, but you can no longer treat them as slaves.

Otherwise, not only the Night Hunters will cause trouble for you, but also the guards, the garrison group, even witches, vampires, and some adventurer groups will treat you as a villain trying to gain reputation.

“These people are more suitable to be trained into confidants. If you don’t want them, I will ask Benson if they want to hire them.”

“As for those whose family members are still alive, you can contact the police. Anyway, I can never touch them, at least not until we have a certain influence.” Kunna said to Mu Hua.

There were about twenty unrelated prisoners, both men and women, all under the age of thirty, and half of them looked underage.

The shackles on these people have been removed, but they still stay in the cage honestly, and Kunna did not avoid them when she spoke.

After hearing the conversation between Kunna and Mu Hua, including those with family members, these people looked at Mu Hua expectantly, and Mu Hua couldn’t help but shake his head.

They want a master. Training and brainwashing have distorted their values. Even if they don’t sign a contract, they still hope to get a master.

It will take a long time for psychological counseling to allow these people to return to normal life.

Mu Hua suspected that they also had various sexual fetishes and that these people could even be trained as death warriors. Unfortunately, Mu Hua had no intention of cultivating them for the time being.

“Will there be any trouble in contacting the security team?” Mu Hua asked Kunna after observing everyone. Although it was considered a rescue, Kunna and his party also killed many people.

“There will be some trouble, but it won’t be serious. By the way, isn’t there a wandering witch over there at the hotel? Maybe we can leave it to her.” Kunna said thoughtfully.

“Tricia?” Mu Hua was slightly surprised when Kunna suddenly mentioned Tricia. (End of chapter)
