Chapter 1193: Mutant Orcs
"No, you've been sleeping soundly, I'm actually quite nervous, and I've been squinting and pretending to be asleep for a long time. β
Nephie propped his hands on the small table in the center of the two beds and whispered, "But you seem to have grinded your teeth a few times in the middle of the night, and then there was no other reaction." β
"Grinding your teeth...?"
Talia's ears were red, and she reached out and scratched her cheek: "I didn't even know I still had this habit. β
"Maybe you didn't eat much for dinner, and you were hungry when you dreamed? Do you remember what you dreamed about?"
"I don't remember, I feel like I'm sleeping soundly, and it's dawn when I wake up. β
"Yes, I thought you had dreamed of something delicious - by the way, I heard that there are a lot of good foods in Hollier, are you interested?"
Nephi looked full of yearning for Holier City, Taria was obviously curious, she licked her lips, but she was a little worried: "But I heard that things are expensive there, and I don't have much money..."
"I've thought about it too, look at this..."
Naifi pulled out a newspaper, flipped through the front page of the latest research report on "Dissecting Demons", and pointed out the job entry for the third edition to Taria: "Here!"
After taking it over and looking at it carefully, Taria found that it was a recruitment notice for each research department in Hollier City - each research department did not have only one laboratory or one team researching, and now dozens of laboratories have been derived from each department, so the recruitment of personnel is also diverse.
At the same time, in addition to these "official top departments", Hollier City also has many well-known and powerful Magisters stationed there, in order to be able to keep up with the times, many of them simply took all their belongings to rent laboratories in Holier City for a long time, and at the same time obtained enough funds for their own research results.
"You're... Are you going to leave?"
Tarya thought of this possibility, and she was always indifferent, and she instantly became reluctant. But such emotions were quickly restrained, and she smiled: "Also, with your level, it is a waste of talent to be an assistant all the time." β
"Okay, okay, what are the two of us still boasting about each other?" I want to say..."Nefi lowered his voice: "You'd better make some preparations, don't panic when you have money in your hands, although Mage Ethan is a high-level mage, but in a place like Hollier City, where dragons are all over the place, it may not be enough to see at all... Find a reliable mentor, make money first, and then think about solving problems. β
"That's what you mean, but I don't know anything about it. β
Taria was really tempted, and her eyes quickly wandered over the handwriting of the newspaper.
"It is estimated that many positions in the research department are crowded to compete, and there is probably not much hope at that time - but the laboratory assistants of these magisters are not very demanding, and you can see that many of them are in charge of food and lodging, and the salary is really not low..."
Nephi pulled Taria to chatter, their berth was four beds, and no one else came. The speed of the train is not very fast, but after five or six hours of constant speed, the surrounding scenery and the gradually decreasing temperature make Taria feel the change and power brought by "industry".
Because if they had followed the previous mode of transportation, they would not have been able to walk even 50 kilometers now.
Talia was confused, but as Nephi showed her more about Hollier, she became more and more excited, and the two of them talked almost all night in bed, until it was almost dawn before they could barely sleep for a whileβof course, reminding Nefi to bind herself with a spell, of course.
When I woke up the next day, the scenery outside the window had changed dramatically. The original plain had turned into a forest, and the railroad was adjacent to the road, and the feeling of sitting in the car and watching those caravan wagons being left behind made Taria feel good, but soon she raised her eyebrows and was startled by the tall green-skinned figures outside the car window: "What is that?!"
Nafi was holding a book to read, and when he heard this, he glanced out of the window, sat up straight with a wink, stared at the window carefully for a long time, and then said, "It should be an orc." β
"I've read about orcs in books, didn't I say that tens of thousands of orcs were captured in the last war?
Tarya gestured with her hand: "Look at the guy at the front, his fist is bigger than the head of the overseer next to him!"
"yes... Why?"
Neffi was also full of question marks, she hadn't paid attention to orcs before, but she also knew that orcs would not be so big, and she was shocked to see these figures working in mines and quarries at this time.
From a distance, those orcs were even two sizes larger than humans, with knotted muscles under the sun, arms as strong as orangutans, and two times more stone than ordinary humans next to them.
"They're so strong, aren't the mines here afraid of orc riots and rebellion?"
"Who knows, maybe they have a way..."
Nephi frowned, visibly worried.
And Roddy, who had just arrived in Hollier City, happened to be in the cabinet meeting at this time looking through the information and reports about the orcs.
"A third assault?"
"Yes, there have been three incidents, but the scale is not large, they are all emergencies of less than three people, and they will soon subside. But the problem is that this is likely to happen more and more often, because the size and strength of the orcs seem to be getting out of control now..."
The cabinet members all expressed their concern: "It is better to take measures as soon as possible, I thought that these orcs would be almost lost after becoming laborers, but who knows that they will not be able to continue to give birth without much exhaustion and starvation, and even when the food supply is not abundant, the most incredible thing is that the survival rate of orc babies born in the labor shed is amazing..."
Luo Di pointed to the information in his hand: "Is the orc who committed the crime still alive?"
All three incidents were incidents in which orcs suddenly attacked the overseers in the workplace, but they were all quickly subdued, but because of their own restraints and tight guards, they only caused two serious injuries and six minor injuries, and no one died.
This is not a big deal, after all, as an orc as a coolie, it is expected that a rebellion will be made. In order to prevent the orcs from colluding in the riot, the more than 10,000 captives captured were scattered and arranged into the mines and quarries in various regions, or the construction areas of different railways and roads, so as to separate them.
In such a situation, there would not be more than three hundred orcs in the same area, and even if they were combined, they would not have much strength, and the investigation results showed that the orcs who suddenly lost control were all normal before, they all suddenly went crazy, and then began to attack the surrounding creatures like wild beasts, which is obviously a bit unusual.
