My Magic Age

At dusk, as the golden sun sank between the mountains, a dividing line between light and darkness quickly passed over this bustling city. Endless shadows spread at the foot of the mountains, swallowing up the entire imperial capital like a tide. The Mazzaro Crater surrounded the mountains outside the imperial capital, blocking the last ray of light, and the entire golden avenue sank into the gray twilight.

Our convoy drove north through the Fifth Street Golden Avenue.

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

…

The Green Empire has been able to maintain its glory for hundreds of years. In fact, a large part of the reason is that the Grand Dukes of the Green Empire opened up territories on countless rich planes and plundered the resources from those planes to the Green Empire. This way it can maintain its prosperity. The Green Empire flourished for hundreds of years.

In this case, it is inevitable that there will be 'slavery', which includes the 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 level of the Green Empire. Laborers, their figures appear in countless mines, lumberyards, and mines, and they are a solid cornerstone supporting the economic system of the Green Empire.

This is no accident. At first, some people realized that orcs have strong fertility, and breeding offspring is a normal thing for orcs. Many orc women will still engage in a lot of production work when they are pregnant, so orcs are among the people of the Empire. 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 "orcs will never be slaves", and the orc law enforcers will launch crazy and endless retaliation against slave traders who capture orc slaves and slave owners who enslave orc slaves, causing many slave owners to dare not openly own them. Orc slaves.

Probably due to issues of blood inheritance and racial assimilation, the orc tribes did not recognize the legitimacy of half-orcs. These half-orcs lived at the bottom of society in the Green Empire. Therefore, some slave traders began to hunt humans and combine with orcs. The hybrid half-orcs he gave birth to were turned into slaves and became the cornerstone of the Green Empire.

In the Green Empire, the noble lords want to build and develop new dimensions, and the demand for slaves is increasing day by day. The hunting of war prisoners and slave traders alone is far from being able to meet the empire's demand for slaves.

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

In the beginning, what appeared in the eyes of noble lords were only the simplest slave camps. These slave camps refer to slave groups with a certain base. Generally speaking, there are tens of thousands of orc slaves in a certain mine or lumber camp. The male and female slaves in the camp are united with each other based on their physical instinctive desires. 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 slave camps could continue to grow little by little under such circumstances. When the number of slaves in the mines and lumber camps reached saturation, the new slaves and old slaves could become slaves. As a resource, they were sold in the slave market. As a result, the slave camp slowly evolved into another pillar supporting the prosperity of the slave market in addition to countless slave catchers.

The existence of slave camps is something that the noble lords of the emperor have acquiesced in.

However, the Brood Nest appeared amid a chorus of doubts.

The original founder of the Brood was a necromancer in the Green Empire. When he specialized in necromancy spells, he needed to use a large number of corpses. At first, this necromancer had been pretending to be a guardian. The Grave Man lived in a cemetery, but later someone discovered the secret in this cemetery. The temple, the Magic Guild, and the Imperial Knights jointly rounded up the Necromancer. The Necromancer had to hide in a barren location. In the face, he became a noble baron in a small village.

He lived like a hermit in such a mountain village, but he never gave up studying undead magic. In order not to attract the attention of the temple and the magic guild, 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 no one would notice, and that was the right of life and death of nobles over slaves.

No one would ask how a slave died in the hands of a noble, so the necromancer began to purchase slaves through normal channels to conduct his necromancy experiments. However, although the price of a slave was not enough for the magician, It was nothing, but the continuous purchase of ten or a hundred slaves finally made the necromancer realize that if this continued, it would not take long before he would become a penniless pauper.

When the necromancer frequently purchased slaves in a slave camp, he discovered that the fertility of female orcs was many times more powerful than that of humans. Therefore, an idea that violated the ethics and morals of the Grimm Empire slowly emerged in the mind of the necromancer - the Brood. plan.

Initially, he purchased a hundred female half-orc slaves, and he kept these female slaves as mothers in animal pens, allowing them to give birth continuously.

This method of forcing female slaves to give birth to the next generation to quickly reproduce slaves is called the mother nest. Because its founder was a necromancer, the 'Brood' was also called a witchcraft and was not accepted by the people of the Green Empire.

Whether it is a slave camp or a new generation of slaves born in the mother's nest, they are far more obedient than their parents, and their characters have also become slavish. In their hearts, becoming a slave is natural, and they do not feel that they should Breaking the cage outside the body, in their words, there is not even the word 'freedom'.

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

After listening to Alia's words, the magic caravan fell into silence. Little Ella clenched her fists tightly and said to me: "Jijia, half-orcs are also orcs."

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

…

Finally, we arrived at the new site of Alia Textile Workshop before it got completely dark. This new textile workshop has more than 500 meters of shops facing the street. Now these shops are all being renovated, and it looks like the whole house. To be repainted, close to shops The open space is filled with stones and clay. The exterior wall of the store is tightly covered by wooden shelves. Through the dense wooden shelves like a forest, you can vaguely see a row of marbles more than five meters high erected outside the store. Columns, messy stones are arranged in various directions on wooden shelves.

Aaliya took the lead to get off the carriage, pointed to the unfinished workshop, and said to me: "Jijia, I want to build a comprehensive textile workshop here to integrate silk reeling, weaving, printing and dyeing. , In the future, we will not only weave the most beautiful magic pattern spider silk cloth, but also make high-quality magic rune cloth and magic pattern cloth."

I walked to the wooden shelf and held the rough log with my hands. It was covered with fine wood thorns, which was a little bit prickly. I asked Aaliya: "What is being repaired here?"

Aria told her maid Betty to hand over the slaves to the people in the carriage house, then turned back to me and said, "A magic cloth trading house will be built here."

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that Aaliya would want to build such a large business store on the street side of the textile workshop.

In the Imperial City, many workshops follow this model, such as blacksmith shops, leather shops, tailor shops, magic medicine machine shops, etc., and they will open a shop on the street to directly sell the goods processed in the workshop.

I said to Aaliya: "You want to build a fabric store with such a large store in the 7th Block?" Do you think the nobles in the imperial capital are willing to come to the seventh district? "

Alia held the heavy skirt in both hands and stood beside me, looking up at the tall marble pillars in front of the entrance hall, and said to me: "The main customers of the fabric store are not the nobles, but the fabric merchants in the imperial capital. and tailor shop owner.”

Magic Pattern Spider Silk Cloth has been recognized by the nobles of the imperial capital, and is still in short supply in the market. Therefore, no matter how the cloth trading house operates, the current situation will not get much worse.

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

She smiled proudly and said to me: "I made an appointment with a rune thread supplier. We will discuss the supply of rune threads tomorrow. I hope we can have a good result."

At this time, Catalina, Little Ella, and Minotaur Luca also came out of the magic caravan and looked at the messy construction site curiously. Little Ella's eyes widened and she 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 renovated. There are dormitories and canteens inside. I will arrange for managers to deal with their food and accommodation issues."

I waved my hand to Aaliya and said, "There's no need to go to such trouble. We just need a temporary resting place. They won't be able to stay here for that long and will leave tomorrow morning."

Aaliya was a little confused and asked me with a frown: "Then how will they solve their dinner?"

I was about to speak when I looked up and suddenly saw Nick and Brennan, the managers of the metal rune plate workshop, chatting and walking out of the workshop gate. They saw Aaliya and I standing together. Immediately strode up, Nick looked a little excited when he walked in front of me. He said to me: "Boss, it's really not easy to meet you. If Brennan hadn't asked Mrs. Alia about something, I'm afraid We haven’t touched it yet.”

I asked Nick with some surprise: "Just manage your metal rune plate workshop well. What do you want to see me for?"

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

Nick stood in front of me, wearing an elegant dress. He seemed to be having 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 of The craftsmanship has stabilized. Some metal rune plate merchants came to me. They wanted me to produce some other types of golden magic pattern red copper rune plates, so I wanted to discuss it with two bosses. Metal Rune Plate Workers future development direction.”

Lady Aaliya's sexy lips traced an intriguing arc and asked Nick: "Your metal rune plate workshop is such a big place, how many people can be accommodated?"

Nick replied without thinking: "If you squeeze, you can still make some room!"

It seems that Nick must be fully prepared when he comes to Aaliyah and me this time.

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

Nick immediately said, "Yes."

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

Mrs. Aaliya on the side blinked her eyes calmly. Even without her reminder, I would not agree easily. I said: "This matter is not something I can decide. I will ask the person in the alchemy laboratory later." I’ll give you a definite answer later.”

Nick said: "Okay, boss."

But there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

At this time, Aaliya said to Nick: "Don't talk about these things for now. Nick, you came just in time. Go to the nearest bakery and buy all the edible things there. I need servings for seven hundred people." The bread must be brought back as soon as possible.”

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

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

Aaliyah glanced at Brennan speechlessly, with a look that looked like an idiot, which made Brennan's face turn red.

The large magic caravans from the carriage shop behind them also stopped along the street one after another. Some brave half-orc female slaves leaned against the windows and looked out, probably wanting to know what kind of fate they were about to face.

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

Brennan was startled when he saw the black tower-like tauren warrior Luka. But when his eyes fell on Katarina, he became a little dazed. He touched his nose and his eyes paused for a moment. After a few seconds, he moved away.

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" After Nick said this, without any hesitation, he turned and walked towards a magic caravan parked on the side of the road.

On the contrary, Brennan hesitated for a moment, probably because he couldn't find a reason to stay. Then he turned around and ran towards Nick's magic caravan with a look of reluctance, shouting to Nick: "Nick, wait for me!"

Then, Brennan got into the carriage of the magic caravan, and the magic caravan turned around and drove away.

I looked at the magic caravan disappearing into the dusk and asked Aaliya: "Why do you think Nick and Brennan came to me this time?"

Aaliya smiled faintly and said: "What else can there be? It's probably because someone is interested in your fine gold solution and the business of the fine gold magic pattern red copper rune plate. You can't find the fine gold solution from me. The source, of course, is you.”
