633. Slaves
Icy Cascade led Noah toward the slave camps in the southern area around the Empire when she managed to discover something.
The conditions of the slaves improved as they neared the borders of the big nation and even their tasks began to change.
There were still half-naked chained men and women digging the terrain, but there were also many of them who dressed plain clothes and managed large farms.
Icy Cascade explained how the actual citizens of the Empire were mostly soldiers whose role was to fight and defend certain areas.
Yet, cultivators were still humans, and they had basic needs that had to be satisfied.
The Utra nation and Papral nation left those jobs to the commoners and encouraged them through the noble families and sects.
The Hive was a bit different since its territories didn't grant much space to reserve to the production of basic needs.
