my age of magic

Chapter 1058 160. Brennan's Ambition
At dusk, as the golden sun sank into the mountains, a dividing line between light and darkness quickly swept across this bustling city, and endless shadows spread at the foot of the mountains, swallowing the entire imperial capital like a tide.The Majaro crater was surrounded by mountains outside the imperial capital, blocking the last ray of light, and the entire golden road sank into the gray twilight.

Our convoy headed north through Golden Avenue in Fifth Street.

Alia explained to us: Why must we choose the half-orc female slaves who come to the depths of the mountains as much as possible when selecting slaves? This is actually to avoid those who come to slave camps and broods. Half-orc female slave, so a threshold was set.

……

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Grimm Empire can last for hundreds of years is that the grand dukes of the Grimm Empire have expanded their territories on countless rich planes and plundered the resources on those planes to the Grimm Empire. The prosperity of the Green Empire for hundreds of years.

So in this case, it is unavoidable that there will be 'slaves', including those indigenous people of other races and planes, as well as some vulnerable groups on the Roland continent. Among them, half-orc slaves are also the lowest level of the Green Empire Laborers, their figures appear in countless mines, logging camps, and mines, and they are a solid cornerstone supporting the economic system of the Green Empire.

It was not accidental. At first, some people realized that orcs had strong fertility, and it was normal for orcs to reproduce offspring. Many orc girls would still engage in a lot of productive labor when they were pregnant. In his eyes, he is a model of hard work and hard work.

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

Probably due to the issue of blood inheritance and racial assimilation, the orc tribe did not recognize the legitimacy of half-orcs. These half-orcs lived at the bottom of society in the Grimm Empire. Therefore, some slave traders began to hunt for the combination of humans and orcs. The mixed-blood half-orcs born, these half-orcs were reduced to slaves, and became a cornerstone of the lowest level of the Green Empire.

In the Green Empire, noble lords want to build and develop new planes, and their demand for slaves is increasing day by day. The hunting of prisoners of war and slave traders alone is far from meeting the needs of the imperial people for slaves.

The so-called slave camps and broods were born under such circumstances.

In the beginning, in the eyes of noble lords, only the simplest slave camps appeared. These slave camps refer to slave groups with a certain base number. Generally speaking, there are tens of thousands of half-orc slaves in a certain mine or logging camp. The male and female slaves in the camp were combined with each other based on the instinctive desire of the body. The half-orc children born in the slave camp were destined to be slaves from the moment they were born.

Gradually, the noble lords discovered that the slave camps could grow little by little under such circumstances. When the number of slaves in those mines and lumberyards reached saturation, those new slaves and old slaves could become As a kind of resource, it was sold in the slave market, so the slave camp gradually evolved into another pillar that supported the prosperity of the slave market besides countless slave catchers.

The existence of slave camps is something that the nobles and lords of the emperor tacitly agreed to.

However, the brood appeared amidst doubts.

The original founder of the brood was a necromancer in the Grimm Empire. When he specialized in necromancy spells, he needed a lot of corpses. In the beginning, the necromancer had been pretending to be a guard The graveman lived in a cemetery, but later someone discovered the secrets in the cemetery, and the temple, the magic guild, and the imperial knights jointly rounded up the necromancer. The necromancer had to hide in a barren place. In front of him, he became a noble baron in a small village.

He lived like a hermit in such a mountain village, but he has never given up on studying undead magic. In order not to attract the attention of the temple and the magic guild, he has never dared to act rashly, but based on the need for corpses, he began to try. Various methods.Until later he discovered one thing that would not be noticed, and that was the nobles' right to life and death over slaves.

No one would ask how a slave died in 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 is fundamental to a magician It's nothing, but the continuous purchase of ten or a hundred slaves finally made the necromancer realize that if this continues, he will become a penniless pauper in a short time.

When the necromancer frequently bought slaves in a slave camp, he discovered that female orcs were several times more fertile than humans, so an idea that violated the ethics and morals of the Grimm Empire slowly emerged in the mind of the necromancer—the brood plan.

At first, he bought a hundred half-orc female slaves, and he kept these female slaves as mothers in the animal pen, allowing them to reproduce continuously.

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

Whether it is a slave camp or the new generation of slaves born in the brood, they are far more obedient than their parents, and their characters have become enslaved. In their hearts, becoming a slave is a matter of course, and they don't feel that they should To break out of that cage outside the body, in their vocabulary there is not even the word 'freedom'.

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

Listening to Alia's narration, there was silence in the magic caravan, and little Ella clenched her fist tightly, and said to me: "Jijia, half-orcs are also orcs."

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

……

I finally arrived at the new site of Alia Textile Workshop before the sky completely darkened. This new textile workshop has more than 500 meters of shop fronts on the street. Now these shops are all being renovated. It seems that the whole house has to be refurbished. The open space near the shop is filled with stones and concrete. The outer wall of the shop is tightly wrapped by wooden shelves. Marble columns with a height of more than one meter, and messy stone materials are placed in disorder on wooden shelves.

Aliya stepped out of the carriage first, pointed to the unfinished workshop, and said to me: "Jijia, I want to build a comprehensive textile workshop here, integrating silk reeling, weaving, printing and dyeing together. In the future, we will not only weave the most beautiful magic-weave spider silk cloth, but also make high-quality magic rune cloth and magic-weave cloth."

I stepped to the side of the wooden shelf and held the rough log with my hands. It was covered with fine wood thorns, which made my hands feel a little prickly.I asked Aliya, "What's being repaired here?"

Aliya ordered her maid, Betty, to hand over the slaves to the people in the carriage, and then turned to me and said, "A magic cloth business will be built here."

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Aliya to want to build such a large business on the side of the textile workshop facing the street.

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

I said to Alia: "You want to build a fabric store with such a large storefront on the Seventh Street?Do you think those nobles in the imperial capital are willing to come to the seventh block? "

Aliya held the heavy skirt in both hands, stood beside me, looked up at the tall marble pillars in front of the gate, and said to me: "The main customers of the fabric business are not the nobles, but the fabric merchants in the imperial capital. and the tailor."

The magic-weave spider silk cloth has been recognized by the nobles of the imperial capital, and the supply in the market is still in short supply, so no matter how the cloth business operates, the current situation will not become too bad.

"Well, whatever you want," I said to Alicia.

She smiled smugly, and said to me: "I have made an appointment with a rune thread supplier. I will talk about the supply of rune thread tomorrow. I hope there will be a good result."

At this time, Katerina, little Ella, and Tauren Luka also came out of the magic caravan, looking at the messy construction site curiously, little Ella widened her eyes, and said to me: "Jijia, Do you let those slaves live here?"

Mrs. Alia said to little Ella: "The interior of the workshop has not yet started to be remodeled. The dormitory and canteen are all available inside. I will arrange management personnel to deal with their board and lodging issues."

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

Aliya was a little puzzled, and asked me with a frown: "Then how will they solve their dinner?"

I was about to speak when I looked up and saw Nick and Brennan, the managers of the metal rune plate workshop, walking out from the gate of the workshop while chatting. When they saw me standing with Alia, they immediately Striding 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 meet you, if Brennan had something to ask Mrs. Alicia, I'm afraid we Haven't touched it yet."

I was a little surprised and asked Nick: "Just manage your metal rune plate workshop well. What do you see me doing?"

In my impression, Nick is the kind of trustworthy manager, but lacks the spirit of pioneering and creativity.

Nick stood in front of me, wearing a well-dressed dress, and seemed to be living a very good life recently, he licked his lips nervously, and then said to me: "Nowadays, the magic rune metal plate on the exhaust fan is made The craftsmanship has stabilized, and some metal rune plate merchants approached me. They wanted me to produce some other types of gold essence magic pattern red copper rune plates, so I would like to discuss with two bosses, metal rune plate workers direction for future development.”

Mrs. Alicia's sexy lips drew an intriguing arc, and asked Nick: "Your metal rune tablet workshop is so big, how many people can it accommodate?"

Nick replied without thinking: "Squeeze, you can still move some space!"

It seems that Nick must be fully prepared to find me and Alia this time.

I supported my right elbow with my left hand, and supported my chin with my right hand. I lowered my head and thought for a while, then asked Nick, "You are looking for me to increase the supply of the fine gold solution?"

Nick said immediately, "Yes."

I felt that Brennan, who was standing aside, seemed a little nervous, his eyes widened, and he waited quietly for my reply.

Mrs. Alia blinked her eyes calmly, even without her reminder, I would not agree easily, I said: "I can't decide this matter, I will ask the alchemy laboratory about it when I go back." I will give you a definite answer."

Nick said in his mouth: "Okay, boss."

But there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

At this time, Alia said to Nick: "Don't talk about these things, Nick, you are here just in time, you go to the nearest bakery and buy all the food that can be eaten there. I need 700 servings. Bread, bring it back as soon as possible."

Nick's eyes widened, but he didn't react for a while.

Instead, Brennan next to him asked Alia: "Ms. Alia, what are you going to do? Is something about to happen in the imperial capital? Make some food reserves?"

Alicia glanced at Brennan speechlessly, that kind of idiot-like eyes, which made Brennan's face turn red.

The large magic caravans in the carriage shop also stopped along the street one after another. Some courageous half-orc female slaves gathered by the window and looked out, probably wondering what fate they were about to usher in.

Only then did the two of them see the large magic caravan parked on the side of the street in the evening twilight. Betty had already handed over to the person in charge of the carriage shop, and little Ella came over to help.

When Brennan saw Luka, a tauren warrior who looked like a black tower, he was shocked at first, but when his eyes fell on Katerina, he became a little dazed again. He touched his nose, and his eyes stayed for a while Moved away after a few seconds.

"Okay, I'll do it now!" Nick finished speaking, without any hesitation, he turned and walked towards a magic caravan parked by the roadside.

On the contrary, Brennan hesitated for a moment, probably because he couldn't find a reason to stay, so he turned and ran to Nick's magic caravan with a face of reluctance, and shouted to Nick, "Nick, wait for me!"

Afterwards, Brennan got into the compartment of the magic caravan, and the magic caravan turned around and drove into the distance.

I looked at the magic caravan disappearing into the twilight, and asked Alia, "What do you think Nick and Brennan are looking for me this time?"

Aliya smiled lightly and said: "What else can there be? It is likely that someone has taken a fancy to your adamantine solution, as well as the business of adamantine magic pattern red copper rune boards. I can't find adamantine solution from me." The source, of course, is to find you as the source."
