Chapter 31: The Wisdom of the Mages

Cavins Rat Farm.

Remlu was reprimanded for his head and face, and the gnoll leader Holtz and the psionic sorcerer Calvin were nervous about the second mating experiment.

This time they learned to be obedient and no longer judge the sex of these Cavins rats by their appearance.

Instead, they follow the principle of seeing is believing and seeking truth from facts, and pick up the tails of these Cavins rats one by one, judging by identifying their body structure.

But the undomesticated Cavins rats were extremely irritable in this regard, and tried to bite Calvin's hand more than once as he went to carry their tails.

If it weren't for Holtz's quick eyes on the side, I'm afraid Calvin would have died in the rat colony.

"Huo... General Manager, can you hear my little proposal?"

After Calvin passed the hurdle in his heart, he obviously quickly recognized and adapted to his role, but the coined word general manager made him a little unaccustomed.

Holtz waved his hand and said with a bold smile: "You don't have to be so restrained in front of me, as long as you can make Hogg Mining and the Cavins Rat Farm develop better, any reliable opinions are worthy of being respected and discussed, this is the master's original words, I will convey them to you now." ”

After the Gnoll Commander said this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, feeling that he had been a little too pretending to be a bully in the past two days.

Back a few days ago, before they met their masters, their daily life was to hunt around like jackals and wild beasts in the deserted night, or to rob other surrounding territories under the orders of the black dragon.

Day after day, year after year.

Through the comparison now, he seems to gradually understand that when the stomach is difficult to fill, a primitive small tribe itself is simply unable to carry anything other than 'foraging'.

For example, wisdom... For example, the creation and transmission of knowledge...

Calvin's voice was silent for a while, and after careful consideration, finally came:

"You see that many of these Cavins rats have bite marks and blood stains on their bodies, I don't know if they also had this habit of attacking their own kind before they were caught, but after my observation, these Cavins rats that bite each other are basically male, and if they continue to let go like this, I think it is likely to cause infection or even plague. ”

Holtz was a little unconcerned at first, but when he heard about the infection and the plague, his face couldn't help but become serious.

Living in the dark wasteland, he knew how terrible this disease was, and his gaze at Calvin couldn't help but become serious and respectful.

He considers himself an illiterate person, so he also desires knowledge, and those who have knowledge are also the existence he yearns for and respects.

"What do you mean... To separate them, but this amount..."

"Yes, I recommend keeping all males separate. ”

Calvin said flatly, and then his gaze swept over the empty ore field, and finally rested on the pitted ground, "There is one easiest way, and it is a bit labor-intensive. ”

"Whew... The last thing we need now is manpower. Holtz chuckled. Just kidding, as soon as the Didi miner incentive policy came out, it was foreseeable that more people would come to work in Zeellandia every day.

"We can dig directly into the rock formations above ground and dig out half-foot-square grids for the nests of these Cavins rats, whose claws may be very good at digging through the soil, but it will take some time to dig through the rock formations. As for the female rats, it can be intensively raised, at that time, we can completely through breeding observation, regularly find out some of the strongest, do not fight, do not eat much, not easy to get sick, not easy to be depressed, not easy to be manic, the most beautiful male rats in the mother mouse group for breeding, so that for a long time, it will be able to domesticate and breed a group of good breeding Cavins rats with the fastest efficiency. ”

Speaking of this, Calvin didn't even notice that a somewhat gloomy and evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, maybe he wanted these Cavins rats to experience the suffering he had suffered...

Holtz bared his fangs and nearly slapped Calvin into the ground, "That's a great idea! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the gnoll subordinates behind him: "Go! Send a hundred people over, and within today, I will let all the male rats live in their own villas!"

Just as the gnoll had taken the order, the fish-man that Remlu had turned into came over again, "Goo... Holtz, the master let you... Let you find him a few masters... Best... Preferably the one who has also practiced arcane, he is studying a large iron box, and he says that he wants to gather the wisdom of his people. ”

"Mage, preferably a mage who has also practiced arcane... Psionic energy? These legal systems are too troublesome, aren't they?"

Holtz chewed on the words, as if he couldn't figure out the difference between arcane and psionic powers, and suddenly turned his head to look at Calvin with a bewildered expression, isn't there a ready-made mage in front of him!

"Breeder Calvin, Calvin, the study of the reproduction of the Cavins rat will be put aside for the time being, and come with me! ”

"......" herdsman Calvin.

......

In Zeelandia, ex-mages can come up with a spellcasting team at will, but not many have ever studied arcane.

Ever since Netherrell's splendor was reduced to embers in that earth-shattering explosion, and the newborn goddess of magic, Mystra, completely banned all magic from the 9 rings of the magic web, the number of Arcanists studying Arcane in the entire Correll began to dwindle dramatically.

This is the sorrow of the great fault line of knowledge.

Any knowledge is a systematic and three-dimensional existence, and it is almost impossible to study the superstructure alone without the existence of a solid foundation.

Therefore, this time the screening was a little longer, and when the fluorescence of the dome was about to dim, Holtz arrived belatedly with the other two muscular masters.

Then Calvin, who had been thrown there first, was already fiddling with the strange big iron box, and was talking to his master with eagerness and excitement:

"That's a good idea, aha, the energy of steam expansion is converted into mechanical kinetic energy that drives other devices, which I am afraid that even the Arcanist masters of Netharel did not necessarily think of in the first place. ”

Calvin was obviously not a dumb man who only knew how to learn and mine, and after clearly knowing that the stronger jackal in front of him was the boss behind the entire Hogg Mining, Calvin did not hesitate to praise him.

And what is in front of you is indeed commendable, there is no magic fluctuation at all, but it can obtain mechanical energy only by the vapor that evaporates when the water is boiled!

This is simply close to the truth of the event!

But obviously, it's just this extent that Li Wei doesn't eat it at all, and he holds his arms and smiles indifferently and says firmly:

"No, none of the Grand Arcanists of Netherel must have discovered this phenomenon, but they who have already invented the Mithrian Core don't look down on this bit of mechanical energy. ”
