Meanwhile, life in Diana Village was going on as usual—difficult, especially for the slaves.
Diana Village was defeated very early on by a territory called Lopi Village, which was also a subsidiary of Voumi Town.
A village taken over and treated as a mining resource was just as one would expect: It was dire, sad, and pitiful.
Not that Lopi Village cared at all, of course.
That said, the Lord of Lopi Village, Lupus, was visiting to check the products. They got word from the master territory that they needed more slaves, and he was wondering how many to sell.
It was only because a village needed some life to sustain it that they hadn't just gone out and sold everyone. It was also unwise to spread out too fast and sell everything.
While there was a risk of the price lowering due to their number, the steward believed it'd still be a better decision than to rush disposal at this point—especially when there was Voumi Town which was a sure client.
