122 Trouble

The slave trafficker nicknamed 'Golden-Eyed Piegel' was brought over. He was a stout man with shrewd eyes, and he was like most of the slave traffickers in this era: his body was decorated with vulgar accessories and meaningless sealed ribbons. Slave traffickers were normally very rich, and their wealth would be comparable to minor noble clans at times. However, in the laws of various nations and most of the churches' traditional mindset, slave traffickers were people who had tainted their souls. As such, even the wealthiest slave traffickers wouldn't be permitted to possess the status of a noble. They weren't allowed to donate money and become a 'phony knight' or an 'honorary knight'. Therefore, these wealthy people liked to display on themselves a bunch of luxurious decorations and self-designed sealed ribbons to show off their status and also to find relief.
