Sure they were working, but no one was shackled or collared, nor getting whipped and forced to work.
No one was getting treated like an animal or some kind of toy or property like it was normal.
Arabella had not seen Crux in person when the streets were bustling and slaves were treated like animals or property but she had seen it through the recording magic tool Alwin invented.
"And this is what Lobelius streets look like. Most territories in the continent look like this. There are no shackled or collared people. This is what is normal to most nations in the continent," Arabella said, and Alwin showed them a record of people freely bustling about in the capital city of Crux.
The people who truly had no clue that other territories looked like this were stupefied. They were at a loss for words since their whole lives, they believed the rest of the world is the same with Crux.
