Chapter 47 Breaking the Population Trap

There is a famous theory on Earth called the Malthusian trap, and to put it bluntly, it is more appropriate to call it a population trap.

Arthur is now at a terrible rate of population growth, and it is even difficult to describe the rate at which it is exploding, or exploding.

Arthur was faced with having to summon, summoned and reluctant to let go, he didn't have the ability to raise it himself, unless he was released directly into the mountains and forests, otherwise these ever-increasing goblins, even if he transported rotten sweet potatoes, he could be exhausted.

The little greenskins are limited in what they can do, and their strength is not great enough, and almost only the effortless and brain-consuming work of pulling weeds is best suited for them.

Arthur had to find a way to convert these burdens into labor, and the best way to do that was to have someone else feed the goblins.

"Will this work?" Serena was extremely skeptical, after all, there was nothing like it in the environment he had seen.

"Of course it's no problem, although I'm just pulling a weed, but digging a hole, or moving some rocks or something is still no problem, I'll lend it to everyone for free, as long as there are no deaths or injuries, I don't want a copper coin." Arthur was adamant.

"That's okay, it just so happens that Ade is gone, and there is a shortage of manpower at home, Arthur, you will let three, no, five goblins come over tomorrow to help, and the place where you live will be temporarily placed in the warehouse in the northwest corner."

Although Uncle Vinnock is not imposing, he is the head of the family after all, and he also believes in Arthur, and these summons, especially goblins, can indeed do a lot of work these days.

"Then thank you, uncle, I'll let those little guys come over tomorrow to recognize the place." Five is actually a bit much, but Arthur didn't refuse, first pulled a few from his field to add a few more, anyway, he could make up for it in a few days.

As soon as her father spoke, Serena was silent, and as for Aunt Ledna, she didn't have any opinions, Vic was a little curious, but only thinking about the changes that these goblins might bring, and a trial cooperation in agricultural automation once again quietly took steps at Peterry's house.

"Oh, by the way, I'll come back in two days with basic magic books, let Serena and Vic have a casual look, and when Lord Fermi comes back, I'll try to recommend them to him to see if there's a chance to become an apprentice."

Arthur believed that the red robe should not refuse him, and he didn't think much about it, and even said it in advance with the news.

"Really? Can you really become the Wizard's apprentice? Serena's eyes lit up, and she even looked a little nervous.

Arthur smiled: "It should be no problem, Lord Fermi and I said that you two should not refuse." ”

The white lie Arthur doesn't recommend saying a little more, it can make Serena happy, just give yourself a good look.

The younger Vic had a calm face, but Arthur saw the other party turning the glass of water on the table uneasily, and was obviously not much calmer than his sister.

"I don't know how long Your Excellency Fermi will stay when I go back this time, but it should be no problem to learn the basics first, but don't let outsiders see the level of these books, otherwise I won't be able to explain." Arthur thought for a moment and mentioned.

"Hmph, isn't that her book? Got it! Serena seemed to 'understand' something, and snorted muttering.

"Uh...... Just pay attention. Arthur didn't want to explain too much, anyway, it was wrong.

Of course, there are a lot of half-goblin books, and he has actually borrowed them for a long time to read the basics of magic, and they are all the most basic readings, and they don't have too advanced knowledge, which is completely different from what Arthur wants to show the two of them.

Whether it is the Peter Ryder's collection of books or Arthur's, it actually has nothing to do with magic, and if it weren't for the existence of the Wizard Tower, this remote southern town would not have the existence of the 'resident' magician of the half-elves.

In fact, if you really want to find some in-depth spell books, ancient books are only available in those noble inheritance families, and of course there are some descendants of ordinary magicians in the homesteaders, but Arthur, who has been raised, is not very eye-catching.

Of course, it can't be discounted rags for his younger siblings, Arthur plans to get two ancient books directly from the Wizard's Tower to lay the foundation for the two.

Although the concept is a bit old, but the power of the wizarding world is supreme, just like the red robe hopes to get the guidance of the great wizard, many essential things will not change.

The current magicians may not be stronger than the magicians of 10,000 years ago, and the basic learning, the level of the great wizard mastering and collecting is definitely much better than those small nobles in the countryside.

Arthur said more, still worried that others would cause trouble if others found out the preciousness of these books, but both Serena and Vic had grown up in the traditional family education of yeoman farmers, and knew that their inheritance could not be leaked.

As for the relationship with Arthur, it was only because of the special relationship, and at the beginning, it was because Arthur took the initiative to lend some books at home to Ade, which allowed the two families to start an unguarded exchange.

One night passed, and Arthur continued his 'studies' the next day, not forgetting to send the goblins to Peter Ryder's house to pull weeds.

"Why do these goblins have such expressions, aren't they just changing places? Are you reluctant to let me be the master? Arthur couldn't understand why these chosen little greenskins looked like they were crying, but they were only a few hundred meters away, and it didn't take them five minutes to walk.

Arthur completely misunderstood what the goblins were 'thinking', the expression on his face was more from biological instinct, who told the master to let himself listen to the words of the demon who bullied him, he felt hopeless in this life, and even had to eat half of his dinner.

Except for some unnecessary expressions and the constraints of the contract, the little greenskins are still very obedient, especially when they arrive at the ground, each person first gives half a piece of sweet potatoes that have just been boiled and salted, and they all seem to have some kind of treasure, holding them tightly in their arms, and looking nervously left and right.

"A bunch of embarrassing goods......" Arthur was a little embarrassed when he saw this appearance, usually he fed himself by throwing a bunch of goblins to solve by himself, not to mention good sweet potatoes cooked and salted, and those with intact size are rare.

The nature of Zhou Papi was revealed, and Arthur was embarrassed, and before the little greenskins finished eating, he drove them to begin to identify their own territory.

It's still a little greenskin, and the initial reward is just to give the goblins some stimulation to make them forget the fear of transition, and the homesteaders will treat ordinary livestock the same, not just the goblins.

Entering the sweet potato field, the goblin hides his green skin in the vine leaves, pokes his head out from time to time to throw out a weed, turns around and squats down, and continues to work 'diligently' for dinner.
