Chapter 265: Magic is the Primary Productive Force (Part II)

The dwarves of the Copperbeard tribe are happy to transfer those orc laborers over.

For them, these toilers are worthless except for wasting food.

However, Carlin still made a symbolic payment, which made the Copperbeard Dwarves very happy.

……

Boya is one of the tribe's laborers left in the wetlands.

He comes from the Warsong Clan, and from shortly after his birth, he was deemed incapable of being a qualified warrior by the tribe's shamans...... After being abandoned by the shaman, Boya became a laborer.

It stands to reason that a laborer like him is not entitled to a name; The name "Boya" was also given by the other party after helping the tribal shaman a little bit in a chance encounter.

For the drudgery of the tribe, they have no glory and no rights...... One of the things they need to do is to work, until their lives are completely over; At the same time, they may also be sent to the battlefield and used as cannon fodder on key occasions in the war.

This should have been Boya's fate, from Draenor to Azeroth, and he contributed blood and sweat to the tribe along the way, urged by hard labor and along with his companions.

Not having enough to eat is the norm, and death from various causes has long been commonplace, and every day is woken up by the overseers' whips at sunrise, busy until sunset, and then repeating the day......

But the unexpected happened, and the tribe was defeated.

Boya saw with his own eyes that the mighty overseer died in the terrible flames; Then the dwarves appeared, and in front of their black barrels and heavy hammers, Boya and his companions subconsciously raised their hands.

The dwarves kept them in dungeons and provided very little food each day...... Hunger spreads around all the laborers, and just when Boya and they can't hold on, they have a new master.

Some strange humans, dressed like the Warlocks of the Tribe.

Boya has a natural fear of warlocks...... For none of the companions who had been taken away by the warlock came back alive.

He tried to escape, but a dwarf gave him a hammer to settle down.

Boya and his companions were taken by the new masters to a river, where another group of dwarves had set up many tents.

Boya thought that their mission was to set up these tents, and the tents were actually prepared for them.

There was a large tent that could hold at least thirty laborers, but Boya was surprised to find that only eight laborers were living in it. And Boya got a quilt that belonged to him, a thick quilt...... This means that he no longer has to huddle with his compatriots in the winter to keep warm.

Boya didn't want to leave his new "home" because he was afraid that the quilt would be stolen by other laborers; However, as one of the dwarves glared at him fiercely, Boya obediently followed.

The spreading aroma made Boya's expression a little dazed, it turned out to be a meal.

Before he worked, he had something to eat, which made Boya uncomfortable.

Following his companions, he received a piece of hot black bread; Such a large loaf of bread was placed at least two days' rations in the past...... In addition to the bread, there is actually a piece of meat!

Even when he was sacrificing to his ancestors, Boya had never eaten so much meat before.

His expression was a little dazed, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

For the first time in his life, Boya felt the taste of "happiness".

……

"You want these orcs to do the work for you?" Kel'thugad frowned and glanced at Carlin, "Raising those wild boars?" ”

"That's right!" Carlin nodded.

These laborers, who once belonged to the tribe, are almost the cheapest laborers. Although there is no skill in their labor, the wild boars that have been matured do not require much care or even food......

Kel'thugad coughed lightly, and then said:

"Carlin, despite the success of your mastery of the orc warlocks...... Kel'thugad used the right words as much as he could, "but I don't think this modified magic is meaningless...... Dalaran is never short of wealth, and we mages can craft mana gems, magic scrolls, and other magical items, which are very popular in other human kingdoms......"

Karin held out a hand and interrupted Kel'thugad.

"Kel'thugad, do you know how much a pound of bacon or bacon is worth in places like Lordaeron and Stormwind?"

Kel'thugad was stunned, he shook his head, he had never cared about the affairs of these mortals.

"Two silver coins, this is the cheapest meat you can buy!" Carlin smiled and replied, "A wild boar that has used ripening magic only takes three days to fully mature, providing at least 1,500 pounds of meat and a much more delicious meat......"

Meat is half a "luxury" in Azeroth, at least for civilians.

After all, with the medieval level of feeding here, it is difficult for the animals raised to grow fat; There are many wild boars living in the wild, but wild boars have strong combat effectiveness, and they can even deal with half a squad of human infantry; Only the best hunters dare to hunt them in the forest......

"It's only thirty gold coins!" Kel'thugad still insisted on his opinion: "It still doesn't matter how many times you can use this magic alone, even if you try your best......"

"Why should I be alone?" Carlin smiled: "This ripening magic is not a high-level magic, it is only about the level of the four rings; I could have recruited dozens, if not hundreds, of wizards from Dalaran to work for us...... I believe that we have this prestige and can provide them with sufficient benefits. ”

Kel'thugad was suddenly stunned.

"We can ripen hundreds, even thousands, of pigs a day, and then grow them quickly under the orcs, send them to the slaughterhouse, and ......process them," Carlin continued, "You can calculate how much profit this can bring......

Large-scale group breeding will encounter a lot of trouble, and for Carlin, who was a biological dog in his previous life, he knows quite well. The most typical are infectious diseases and the contamination of the surrounding area by animal excrement; However, under the influence of the ripening magic, it seems that the three-day growth time can ignore these troubles and minimize the loss of animal feeding......

Kel'thugad was almost frightened by this astronomical figure, and after a moment he muttered:

"Then you need to get hundreds, if not thousands, of wild boar cubs every day......"

"Is this it?" Carlin said confidently, "I have already made arrangements, I just need a friend to help!" ”...
