Chapter 60 Ethical Review Mechanism

The dark elf waiter, Benny, immediately smiled and said, “Then, dear guest, I recommend you to buy our minotaur slaves.”

“Tauren slaves are hardworking and diligent, eating little and working hard. Their intelligence is just enough to understand your complex instructions, but not enough to think about life, reflect on the past, or find ways to be lazy.”

“Furthermore, with the recent collapse of the Minx Orc Empire, a large number of Orc and Orc subspecies slaves have entered the slave market, causing the price of Tauren slaves to drop significantly. This is the perfect time for an excellent breeder like you to start purchasing.”

Benny, the dark elf waiter, reminded Locke, “Currently, the price of a minotaur slave is only twice that of a human male slave, but the work a minotaur can do in a day is three to four times that of a human male slave.”

“Besides, Tauren slaves only need to eat grass, so the food is definitely cheap.”

“A male minotaur now only requires 5 magic stones, but it used to cost 10 magic stones.”

“The slaves in our shop are indeed more expensive than those in other shops.”

“But all the slaves in our shop have undergone mind transformation through the magic of the Enchanting School. They will never attack their masters. This is something that other shops cannot compare to, as they sell a bunch of cheap slaves for just one magic stone.”

Benny, the dark elf waiter, said, “Furthermore, these slaves have undergone careful physical examinations to ensure they have no hidden illnesses, and they are guaranteed to possess certain professional skills. For example, if you were to purchase a minotaur slave, I would prioritize those skilled in agricultural techniques.”

Locke asked, “Human slaves seem to be cheaper.”

Most importantly, when it comes to farming, I seem to be more trustworthy towards humans.

Benny, the dark elf waiter, immediately said, “But dear guest, Lilith’s Hut is a wizard organization under the White Wizard Association.”

“There are strict ethical review mechanisms here. Using a large number of human slaves is likely to violate certain ethical review regulations… Many of my clients have been dragged into trouble because of this, so I generally recommend avoiding the use of large numbers of human slaves.”

“Especially the industries that are more important to you.”

“What’s the problem with that?” Locke asked.

The dark elf waiter, Benny, whispered, “Dear guest, within the White Wizard Association’s jurisdiction, the human slaves available are generally death row prisoners, serious criminals, and soldiers from defeated nations.”

“And if you use a large number of human slaves, if there’s a questionable identity among them, you might be targeted by your enemies, and then you’ll be in trouble.”

“The ethical review mechanism established by the White Wizard Association explicitly prohibits turning wizard apprentices into slaves. That is the bottom line among white wizards and a mistake that must never be made.”

Locke said, “I understand. Then buy minotaur slaves. I need six minotaurs. Here are thirty magic stones.”

“Give me six minotaurs with specialized agricultural skills.”

Six minotaurs should be more than enough to take care of a five-acre botanical garden.

Benny, the dark elf waiter, immediately smiled and said, “Okay, come over here and let’s sign the contract. That way, if you have any questions in the future, you can come to us.”

“It’s expensive for a reason. There will definitely be no problems with the slaves in our shop.”

Locke entered the shop and saw more iron cages in the slave warehouse, each of which contained a slave.

There were some slaves inside the shop who seemed to be of a higher class than those displayed outside the shop.

After Locke and Benny signed the contract, Benny took Locke to a place where a group of Minotaur slaves were imprisoned in iron cages.

It was a large iron cage.

Benny used the key to open the iron cage and selected six minotaurs to come out.

Benny pointed at the six strong minotaurs with muscular bodies and said, “Customer, you can also inspect the goods.”

“Once you’re sure there’s no problem, you can take them away.”

“These minotaurs’ minds have been enchanted by a specific school of enchantment. So, all you have to do is start a specific activation ritual, and the master in their minds will automatically become you. You just need to crush this rune stone and let them see you first.”

“The Orc Empire is a semi-nomadic, semi-agricultural empire. These six minotaurs are all low-level minotaur nobles who are good at farming and have some skills.”

Locke glanced at one of his gray dwarf servants and ordered the gray dwarf servant to have a brief exchange with the six minotaur slaves. He confirmed that there was no big problem with their IQ and that they did know some planting techniques. He was also pleasantly surprised to find that the minotaur could read, so he told Benny that he had confirmed it.

Indeed, it would be much easier to cultivate literacy.

At the same time, Locke also sighed. The wizarding world was indeed more cruel than the mortal world. An entire empire could be sold as slaves.

Obviously, the Orc Empire had offended a certain wizard organization.

This is something that would never happen in Corfu mainland.

However, in the wizarding world, the prices of these six Minotaur nobles have depreciated due to inflation. A high-quality Minotaur noble only costs 5 magic stones.

Moreover, they are well-trained and have established the master-servant mentality. Only one rune stone is needed to activate them as qualified slaves.

If you buy it directly, you might be able to buy a Minotaur noble slave with just one magic stone.

Locke crushed the rune stone directly in the shop, and immediately the eyelids of the six minotaurs became heavy and gradually closed as if they were dozing off.

The dark elf waiter, Benny, quietly stepped away.

Three seconds later, the six Minotaur slaves opened their eyes, and the first person they saw was Locke. Then, in a very short period of time, their eyes changed from numbness to enthusiasm and excitement.

The six minotaur slaves looked at Locke with reverence and loyalty. “Great wizard master.”

Locke took a quick look and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

This is the classic magic model of the Enchanting School [Secondary Slave Thought Brand], which is only about 0.3 rings and is not very strong.

Therefore, it is difficult for a third-class wizard apprentice to be effective.

Moreover, this magic model can be easily broken by some strong external force. For example, when a mortal is about to die, the intense pain and fear of death may cause him to break the spell.

Alternatively, if the person under the spell faces some strong emotional fluctuations, it is possible to partially break the spell.

But no matter what, this level of magic model is indeed sufficient for the Minotaur mortal slaves.

He only needs them to work for him, and he doesn’t need these six minotaurs to fight for him, so spells of this level are enough to control them.

Moreover, after a long time, even if they gradually realize something, they probably will not choose to resist.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter where you work.

Benny, the dark elf waiter, took the opportunity to actively promote Locke and said, “Dear guest, how can I help you?”

“Do you still need a charming and beautiful slave, or…”

Locke interrupted him and said, “I heard that your store has a rare cat queen slave with ancient bloodline?”
