Chapter 163 It’s Really a Talent Market

“Ah, what are the differences from before?”

“The difference, of course, is that everyone here is free. The Empire has abolished slavery.”

“Does it include those aliens and subhumans? Can they also find jobs in Freedom?”

“What are you talking about? Demihumans are part of the human race and naturally enjoy the legal rights of humans. As for aliens…”

When Pandora said this, she felt her neck getting a little cold, as if a knife was placed there. Pandora moved her eyes slightly and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she felt a lot better.

“As for the aliens, how could the human empire rule over the filthy aliens? The only mercy the empire can bestow upon them is death.”

At this time, Pandora felt the chilling gaze again. This time, it found the source of the gaze. It was less than a hundred meters away from it. Several Eldar were standing there and talking about something.

Perhaps having heard their conversation, one of the male Eldar was looking over here with a cold gaze.

Damn the Eldar!
Pandora cursed inwardly, but didn’t dare to say anything.

During its time undercover in the Empire of Man, it gained some knowledge about other Warhammer forces.

Although as a grassroots soldier in the Empire, the information about the Eldar people he had access to was quite limited.

But through those scattered information, it can also know that the Eldar are a group of ancient and powerful aliens. These creatures that look like elves are actually many times more powerful than the elves it has seen in this world.

The Human Empire will never cooperate with the aliens unless they cannot kill them.

As for the Eldar, as an alien race that can set up an embassy in the Human Empire, it goes without saying.

“Ah? Kill them all?”

Osco was stunned for a moment. He really didn’t know much about the human empire. After all, he was facing an interstellar empire that was completely beyond all previous common sense.

The human empire that Osco imagined based on various information that circulated and his own experience cannot be said to be extremely similar to the real human empire, but at least it is completely unrelated.

In this case, he completely misjudged the human empire’s attitude towards the xenomorphs.

He originally believed that although humans expressed great malice towards alien races, they would at least allow them to exist as slaves, or at worst, as livestock.

At this time, Pandora no longer wanted to have anything to do with Osco. The sight of the Eldar over there was really irritating. It was not a real imperial soldier and was afraid that something might happen.

He simply told Osco the location and asked him to go in and take a look.

The original slave market was a luxurious villa. Many nobles and wealthy merchants from other countries, especially the empire, would gather here to buy various alien and subhuman slaves.

Among them, elven slaves are the most sought-after, but Osco is not interested in elves at all. He doesn’t know what’s good about a race whose thickness is not even half of its width.

Obviously, the warrior’s well-trained body is better, especially the Space Marine’s body, which is a real work of art.

Now the original luxurious villa is gone, I don’t know whether it was destroyed in the war or planned in this way. Instead, it is replaced by a very large indoor market.

The entrance to the market is marked with the word “market” in High Gothic of the Human Empire, a commonly used Low Gothic, and the local human common language.

It is very lively here, and you can see all kinds of people coming in and out, including some demi-humans who were once excluded by the human countries in the other world. Well, according to the laws of the Human Empire, these demi-humans are now humans.

However, one can still see the obvious differences between different people. Those former sub-humans, such as elves, would act together in groups and deliberately avoid ordinary humans.

As for the demihumans who were once proud of their strength and oppressed humans, they are now even more obedient and careful to avoid conflicts with humans.

Some humans still looked afraid when they saw the demi-humans, and their eyes avoided when they saw them. Most of them were people dressed in Kingdom and Empire style, while the people of the Holy Kingdom and the Church held their heads high, and their eyes were full of hostility and contempt.

Among them, the people with the highest status are naturally those from the Human Empire. Although there are also natives from other worlds who intentionally wear the clothes of the Human Empire, they are much different in temperament, which can be seen at a glance.

Among this crowd of people, Osco with the rabbit subhuman does not stand out so much.

The environment in the market was very bright, with lights set up everywhere. It did not seem dim at all because it was located inside a hive city, nor did it have the foul smell of cow and horse urine that was produced when a large number of people gathered in this world.

The layout of the market was very neat. At the front, one could see quite a few people and demihumans standing or sitting in small huts. Next to them were descriptions of the Human Empire’s regulations on basic human rights and labor relations in three languages.

There were even a few human empire staff members loudly preaching the basic laws of the empire, while on the other side there was a priest of the Imperial State Church, who looked like he was promoted from a local, preaching the teachings of the God-Emperor.

If you walk inside, you can see various shops selling other things.

Among them are local products from all over the world (mainly sold to the Human Empire), a large number of inexpensive and high-quality magic products, and the most popular of all products are the various products from the Human Empire.

From various small household appliances to clothes and even food, they are very common.

God have mercy on us.

When a soldier on duty in the Human Empire saw a well-dressed father and son from the Holy Kingdom devouring the Empire’s specialty energy bars with big gulps of enjoyment and praising the taste, his face was filled with an expression of “Is the world crazy or are you crazy?”

After the father and son left, the soldier took out the same energy bar, took a bite, and immediately spit it all out. He then quickly took out the juice from the other world to rinse his mouth.

Osco himself had obtained a lot of goods from the Human Empire, but he was not very interested in them. Seeing that he did not find anything special new, he turned back to the job-hunting places where he had started.

The human empire’s management of the alien world is martial law in most places, but it still allows a certain degree of freedom. For example, magic chanters and people with natural abilities need to be registered and cannot go out at will.

Those with significant talents will be closely protected and have their lives arranged by the Human Empire.

Nfirea, who had irreplaceable talent, enjoyed Primarch-level protection. Under the personal supervision of Lorgar himself, the laboratory where Nfirea was imprisoned was moved directly underground to the Primarch’s residence.

For those who have no special skills and simply work hard, the Human Empire still gives them a lot of freedom.

Apart from undergoing compulsory literacy and general education for a period of time (the specific time depends on the individual’s circumstances), the Human Empire allows them to work freely.

You know, this is the 30k era. In this era, the Human Empire is still the representative of advanced productivity. The life in the middle nest, which was envied by many people in the 40k era, is now considered to be relatively poorly treated.

With the assistance of the completely unfettered Mechanicus, the productivity of the Human Empire actually does not require the participation of the native residents of the other world at all.

It would be better to say that in order to accommodate the local natives, the human empire has to sacrifice efficiency on some unimportant projects.

The main purpose of allowing the natives to join the human empire’s project is to assimilate the natives in this way, so that they and the humans of the empire form a whole and abide by common norms.

This method was proven to be effective by the ancient god Seris on Holy Terra as early as 1000 AD.

Moreover, the remuneration offered by the Human Empire is very generous by the standards of the other world, so there is no shortage of manpower.

For those who truly pursue freedom, or want to work for themselves for various reasons, the Human Empire does not interfere, but instead provides them with places like the talent market.

As for those who really want to cause trouble, this small planet has tens of thousands of Astartes alone, and some of the tough guys have killed more aliens than these bastards have eaten bread in their entire lives.

Their only fate was to be captured in a swift, efficient and open manner, and then handed over to the Mechanicus for small experiments such as exploring the limits of native humans in other worlds.

After a quick look around here, Osco seemed very disappointed.

Originally, he believed that with the emergence of the Human Empire, a force that far surpassed the Sorcerous Kingdom and upheld human supremacy, after crushing a large number of alien countries, especially the top alien powers including the Five Great Powers of the Central Continent.

It will definitely produce a lot of cheap and high-quality slaves. As a result, he underestimated the kindness of the human empire towards his compatriots, and even more underestimated the human empire’s determination towards the aliens.

But since he was already there, Osco decided to pick a few good ones.

But unlike a slave market, in a talent market buyers choose people and job seekers do not have to go.

At first, the two strong demi-humans that Osco had his eyes on were unwilling to go when they heard that they were going to work in the arena.

And it’s not that they dislike danger. With the low-level healing potions freely available in the Human Empire, the safety factor of the arena is simply the highest ever.

The reason they gave was that people of noble birth like them could only do respectable jobs or become noble warriors, and that entertainment professions like gladiators were only for people of lower castes.

I don’t know which remote area this Asian person came from, but he has fallen to the point of looking for a job in the job market, and he has so many bad habits.

Just when Osco was about to look for the next store with a gloomy face, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

He was wearing gorgeous clothes, had blond hair, and although his face was a little fat, he was still handsome.

This person is none other than the current emperor of the native Baharus Empire, Gilkenifer Lune Farod El, nicknamed the Blood Emperor.

Osco saw that there was a mature and sexy beauty following him, whose facial features were vaguely similar to those of the Dragon King’s daughter of the Dragon Kingdom.

Osco had not seen the Blood Emperor since he slid to the knee of the Human Empire at lightning speed. This time, when he saw him, he immediately ran over to say hello.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?”

After seeing Osco, the Blood Emperor was stunned for a moment, as if it was a very difficult task to recognize the bald, middle-aged fat man in front of him. His brain, which had given up thinking, finally remembered Osco’s identity after trying hard.

“Praise the Emperor, Lord Osco, it turns out to be you.”

Gilknifer took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Osco.

“And don’t call me Your Majesty. I am just an honorable citizen of the great human empire.”

Osco carefully observed the Blood Emperor’s expression and confirmed that he was completely serious.

Although I had heard that Gilkenifer was frightened by the Sorcerer King, no, the inferior alien sorcery tyrant, I didn’t expect that he would be even more corrupt after the Human Empire.

“By the way, I haven’t introduced you yet. This is the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom. This is her true state. How is it? Pretty impressive, right? We are now a couple.”

The Dragon Queen, who no longer needed to maintain her loli appearance, also stepped forward and exchanged greetings with Osco.

“Then Lord Gilkenifer, what are you two doing here?”

“Hey, it’s okay. Today, the Titan, a symbol of the power of the God-Emperor, will pass by here. This is the first Titan produced in our world. It is a testimony to our being bathed in the great glory of the God-Emperor. Aren’t you here to admire the great Titan as well?”

“I do not know?”

Osco didn’t know about this, but it didn’t matter. He just wanted to take a look at the most powerful land combat weapon of the Human Empire. After all, thanks to a certain Blood Emperor who slid to his knees so quickly, the Human Empire didn’t even have a chance to truly demonstrate its military power.
