160. Brennan's ambition

At dusk, as the golden sun sank into the mountains, a dividing line between light and darkness quickly swept across the bustling city, and endless shadows spread at the foot of the mountain, engulfing the entire imperial capital like a tide. The Majaro crater surrounded the mountains outside the imperial capital, blocking the last rays of light, and the entire golden avenue sank into a gray twilight.

Our convoy headed north through the Golden Avenue in the Fifth Block.

Arya explained to us why we had to choose slaves as much as possible from the orc girls who came to the depths of the mountains, in order to avoid the orc girls who came to the slave camps and the brood.

......

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Grimm Empire can continue to be glorious for hundreds of years is that the successive grand dukes of the Grimm Empire have expanded their territory in countless rich planes and plundered the resources of those planes to the Grimm Empire, so as to maintain the prosperity of the Grimm Empire for hundreds of years.

In this case, it is inevitable that there will be 'enslavement', which includes those indigenous people of other races and planes, as well as some vulnerable groups on the Roland continent, among them, the half-orc slaves are also the lowest laborers of the Green Empire, and their figures appear in countless mines, lumber yards, and mines, and they are a solid cornerstone of the economic system that supports the Green Empire.

It is no accident that some people initially realized that orcs have strong fertility, and reproduction is a normal thing for orcs, and many orcs will still engage in a lot of production labor when they are pregnant, so orcs are completely a model of hardship and hard work in the eyes of the imperial people.

It's just that the orcs have always adhered to the oath of 'orcs will never be slaves', and the orc enforcers will launch crazy and endless revenge actions against the slave traders who capture orc slaves and the slave owners who enslave orc slaves, so that many slave owners dare not openly own orc slaves.

Probably because of the problem of blood inheritance and racial assimilation, the orc tribe did not recognize the legitimacy of the half-orcs, and these half-orcs were also at the bottom of society in the Grimm Empire, so some slave traders began to hunt the half-orcs born of the combination of humans and orcs, and these half-orcs became slaves and became a cornerstone of the lowest level of the Grimm Empire.

In the Grimm Empire, the noble lords want to build and develop new planes, and the demand for slaves is increasing day by day, and the demand for slaves is far from being met by prisoners of war and slave traders alone.

It was under such circumstances that the so-called slave camps and broods were born.

In the beginning, in the eyes of the noble lords, it was only the simplest slave camps, these slave camps refer to slave groups with a certain base, generally speaking, there are tens of thousands of half-orc slaves in a certain mine or lumberyard, and the male and female slaves in the slave camp are combined with each other based on their physical instincts, and the half-orc children born in the slave camp are destined to be slaves from the moment they are born.

Gradually, the noble lords discovered that the slave camps could grow little by little under such circumstances, and when the number of slaves in the mines and lumberyards reached saturation, those new slaves and old slaves could become a resource to be sold in the slave market, so the slave camps slowly evolved into another pillar that supported the prosperity of the slave market, in addition to countless slave catchers.

The existence of the slave camp was the tacit acquiescence of the noble lords of the emperor.

However, the brood appeared in a state of doubt.

The original founder of the brood was a necromancer in the Grimm Empire, and when he specialized in necromancer spells, he needed to use a large number of corpses, at first, the necromancer had been disguised as a grave keeper to live in a cemetery, but then someone discovered the secret of this cemetery, and rounded up in the temple, the magic guild, and the Imperial Knights, and the necromancer had to hide in a barren plane and become a noble baron in a small village.

He lived like a hermit in such a mountain village, but he never gave up specializing in necromantic magic, and in order not to attract the attention of temples and magic guilds, he never dared to act rashly, but based on the need for corpses, he began to try various methods. It wasn't until later that he discovered something that would not have been noticed, and that was the nobles' right to kill slaves.

No one would ask how a slave died at the hands of a nobleman, so the necromancer began to buy slaves through normal channels to conduct his necromancy experiments, but although the price of a slave was nothing to a magician, ten or a hundred slaves continued to buy one after another, and finally made the necromancer realize that if he continued like this, it would not be long before he would become a destitute bastard.

When the necromancer frequently bought slaves in a slave camp, he found that female orcs were far more fertile than humans, so an idea that violated the ethics and morals of the Grimm Empire slowly came to the necromancer's mind - the brood project.

Initially, he purchased a hundred half-orc slave girls, whom he kept as mothers in the corral and allowed them to reproduce continuously.

This method of forcing female slaves to give birth to the next generation and quickly reproduce slaves became a brood. Because its founder was a necromancer, the 'brood' was also known as a sorcerer, and was not accepted by the Grimm Empire.

Whether it is the slave camp or the new generation of slaves born in the brood, they are far more obedient than their parents, their personalities have become servile, in their hearts, being a slave is a matter of course, they do not feel that they should break the cage outside their bodies, and in their words, there is not even the word 'freedom'.

As a result, a new word was born in the imperial Chinese language, that is, 'servile'.

Hearing Arya's words, there was silence in the magic caravan, and little Ella clenched her fists tightly and said to me, "Jiga, half-orcs are also orcs. ”

I gently touched her tender and smooth forehead and said softly, "That's right......"

......

Finally, before the sky completely darkened, I arrived at the new site of the Arya Textile Workshop, which has more than 500 meters of shops on the street, and now these shops are all being renovated, and it looks like the whole house has to be repainted, and the open space near the shops is full of stones and triple soil, and the exterior walls of the shops are tightly wrapped by wooden shelves, and through the dense wooden frames like a forest, you can vaguely see a row of marble pillars more than five meters high erected outside the store, and the messy stones are placed horizontally and vertically on the wooden shelves.

Arya was the first to get out of the carriage, pointed to the unfinished workshop, and said to me, "Jijia, I want to build a comprehensive textile workshop here, where silk reeling, weaving, printing and dyeing will be concentrated, and in the future, not only the most beautiful magic pattern spider silk cloth will be woven, but also high-quality magic rune cloth and magic pattern cloth will be made." ”

I walked over to the wooden shelf and held the rough log with my hand, covered with fine thorns, a little prickly. I asked Arya, "What is it doing here?"

Arya instructed the maid Betty to hand over the slaves to the men in the carriage shop, then turned back to me and said, "There will be a magical cloth merchant here." ”

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Arya to want to build such a large trading house on the side of the street in the textile workshop.

In the imperial capital, many workshops are in this mode, such as blacksmith shops, leather shops, tailor shops, magic medicine shops, etc., will open a shop on the street to directly sell the goods processed in the workshop.

I said to Arya, "You're going to build a fabric merchant with such a big storefront in the seventh district, do you think the nobles in the imperial capital are willing to come to the seventh district?"

Arya stood beside me with her heavy skirt in her hands, looked up at the tall marble columns in front of the courtyard, and said to me, "The main customers of the cloth merchant house are not the nobles, but the cloth merchants and tailor shop owners in the imperial capital. ”

The Demonic Spider Silk Cloth has been recognized by the nobles of the Imperial Capital, and it is still in short supply in the market, so no matter how the cloth trading house operates, the current situation will not become so bad.

"Okay, whatever you want. I said to Alya.

She smiled smugly and said to me, "I've made an appointment with a rune wire supplier, and I'll talk about the supply of rune wires tomorrow, hoping for a good outcome." ”

At this time, Katerina, little Ella, and Ruka the Minotaur also walked out of the magic caravan, looking curiously at this messy construction site, little Ella's eyes widened, and said to me, "Jiga, did you let those slaves live here?"

Lady Arya said to little Ella: "The interior of the workshop has not yet begun to be renovated, and there are all kinds of dormitories and canteens inside, and I will arrange for the management to take care of their accommodation." ”

I waved my hand at Arya and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome, just a temporary resting place, they won't stay here that long, and they will leave tomorrow morning." ”

Alya was a little puzzled, frowned and asked me, "Then how will their dinner be resolved?"

I was about to speak, when I looked up and suddenly saw Nick and Brennan, the managers of the metal rune board workshop, chatting from the gate of the workshop, and walked out, they saw me and Arya standing together, and immediately strode up, Nick looked a little excited when he walked in front of me, and he said to me: "Boss, it's really not easy to see you, if it weren't for Brennan to find Lady Arya for something, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to meet it." ”

I asked Nick a little surprised, "Just take good care of your metal rune board workshop, what do you see me doing?"

I have the impression that Nick is the kind of manager he can trust, but he lacks the pioneering spirit and creativity.

Nick stood in front of me, dressed in a dress, looking like he had a very good time recently, he licked his lips a little nervously, and then said to me: "Nowadays, the manufacturing process of magic rune metal plates on exhaust fans has stabilized, and some metal rune plate merchants have approached me, and they want me to produce some other kinds of gold essence magic pattern red copper rune plates, so I want to discuss with the two bosses about the future development direction of metal rune plate workers." ”

Lady Arya's sensual lips crossed an intriguing arc as she asked Nick, "How many people can fit in your metal rune board workshop in such a big place?"

Nick replied without thinking, "Squeeze it, you can still move some places!"

It seems that Nick must have made sufficient preparations to find me and Arya this time.

With my left hand on my right elbow and my right hand on my chin, I lowered my head and thought for a moment, and then asked Nick, "You are looking for me to increase the supply of Adamantite Solution?"

Nick immediately said, "Yes. ”

I felt Brennan, who was standing on the sidelines, also a little nervous, his eyes widened, quietly waiting for my reply.

Lady Arya on the side blinked quietly, even without her reminder, I would not easily agree, I said: "This matter is not for me to decide, wait until I go back and ask the alchemy laboratory, and then give you a definite answer." ”

Nick said, "Okay, boss. ”

But there was a faint disappointment in his eyes.

At this time, Arya said to Nick, "Don't talk about these things yet, Nick, you have come just in time, you go to the nearest bakery, and buy all the food that can be eaten there, I need seven hundred pieces of bread, and I must bring it back as soon as possible." ”

Nick's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a moment.

Instead, Brennan next to him asked Arya, "Lady Arya, what are you going to do here? Could it be that something is about to happen in the imperial capital? Make some food reserves?"

Arya glanced at Brennan speechlessly, the kind of look that looked like an idiot, and Brennan's face turned red.

The large magic caravan of the carriage shop behind also stopped along the side of the street, and some brave half-orc female slaves leaned over the window and looked out, probably wondering what fate they were about to meet.

The two of them saw a large magic caravan parked on the side of the street in the twilight of the evening, where Betty had already handed over to the head of the carriage dealership, and little Ella also came over to help.

Brennan was startled at first when he saw the black tower-like minotaur warrior Ruka, but when his eyes fell on Katarina, he became a little dazed, he touched his nose, and his eyes stayed for a few seconds before looking away.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Nick said, without hesitation, turning and walking towards a magic caravan parked on the side of the road.

On the contrary, Brennan hesitated, probably unable to find a reason to stay, so he reluctantly turned around and ran towards Nick's magic caravan, shouting to Nick, "Nick, wait for me!"

Brennan then slipped into the caravan of magic, which reversed direction and headed off into the distance.

I looked at the magic caravan that disappeared into the twilight and asked Arya, "What did you say Nick and Brennan were looking for me this time?"

Arya smiled faintly and said, "What else can there be, eighty percent of people have taken a fancy to your Adamantite Gold Solution, as well as the business of the Adamantite Magic Pattern Red Copper Rune Plate, I can't find the source of the Adamantite Solution from me, of course I want to find you as the source." ”
