Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

The speed of the fire eagle was not very fast, but it still arrived at the outskirts of Krey Territory before dusk, and Bai Hao and his group landed five miles away from the outer city area.

Completely different from the previous Viscount Garcia's territory, the Duke of Krey's territory has standard and strict no-fly laws. Not to mention giant beasts as big as houses like the fire eagle, even small single-person feathered beasts cannot take off within five miles of the urban area.

Noble territories with strict air superiority usually have many inns and villages in the suburbs of the city. A small number of these inns and post stations are established by nobles, while most of them are jointly established by merchants.

These hotels, post stations and villages can provide high-quality food and accommodation services to merchants coming from afar, and more importantly, they can provide a comfortable place for the aerial behemoths to rest and resupply.

There are also many noble territories located on major transportation routes whose suburban areas are particularly prosperous. The former Viscount Garcia's territory is the best example. The wealth of the territory's urban area is far less than that of the entertainment cities established in the suburbs.

These noble territories took advantage of their geographical location and vigorously developed the supply functions in the suburbs of their territories, specifically to earn money from passing merchants, scholars and explorers.

There are no landmark buildings, no libraries or universities in Garcia's territory, and no branches of academic organizations of scholars. Most tourists will not enter the city, but will only stay briefly in the suburbs and set off again after replenishing their supplies.

However, the clever Viscount Garcia upgraded the suburbs which were supposed to have only post stations and hotels. He added spiritual replenishment functions such as pubs, high-end restaurants and opera houses to the original physiological replenishment functions. In the end, it became a high-consumption entertainment street integrating brothels, casinos and auction houses.

This allows the suburbs of Garcia's territory to attract many passing tourists to live a life of luxury. In this regard, Bai Hao has to admit that Viscount Garcia is indeed a talented person.

After placing the fire sculpture at the post station, the group took a horse-drawn carriage and slowly drove into the outer city area of ​​Krey Territory. Compared with the extremely prosperous suburbs of Garcia Territory, the outer suburbs of Krey Territory seemed extremely quiet and simple.

After entering the city, Bai Hao saw many two- or three-story houses arranged in a fairly neat pattern. These somewhat simple and monotonous wooden houses divided the outer city area of ​​Kerait Territory into many roads of varying widths.

Kuduodou led the carriage team to a wider gravel road. Bai Hao saw through the car window that there were various shops on both sides of the road.

There were many pedestrians on the gravel road, but most of them were wearing tattered and thin short coats. The store owners were much better off. Although their clothes were still tattered, at least you could see that there was a lot of cotton wool mixed in them, and they also had more decent lining and underwear.

In the three wealthy Central Plains countries of Omo, Seth and Swat, respectability is always the property of those who have enough food. Most civilians, serfs and even women have almost no underwear or panties to wear.

Among some refugees fleeing famine, most women would rush to offer their cheap bodies for a full meal. Despite this, most of the refugees who starved to death were still women and children.

This kind of environment has created an extremely mature human trafficking industry chain. Most of the prostitutes in brothels and the serfs of wealthy nobles are consumables. Since they are consumables, they need to be replenished frequently. However, the human traffickers who cheat the refugees make a lot of money.

There is almost no country that prohibits the trafficking of human beings. In this ancient civilization of sword and magic, population is also a tradable, renewable and even consumable commodity and resource.

However, the most popular people in the human trafficking on the continent of Walterlan are not the beautiful elves, nor the humans who are the most numerous, nor the dwarves who are good at forging, but the orcs.

Bai Hao saw many orc slaves with wooden shackles around their necks on both sides of the street. Some of the stronger and more attractive orcs were placed at the front by the slave owners as product samples.

But Bai Hao knew that this was just a marketing strategy of the slave owners. Those muscular male orcs in the front and the female orcs with hot bodies and pretty faces would generally not be bought. This was just a means for the slave owners to attract attention.

The prices of these high-quality orcs are usually raised higher by the slave owners, and most of those who are bought are the orc children behind them or some orcs with special talents.

Most of the orcs on both sides of the street, which are commodities, have human bodies like Xing Lili but with some other animal characteristics. This type of orcs are close to humans and are called representative orcs.

There is another type of orcs, the Lizheng orcs. These orcs have extremely thick hair and except for their human bodies, their entire heads are animal heads. Compared with human rationality, they are more inclined to animality.

Most of the Lizheng orcs cannot even communicate with language like animals. It is difficult for them to integrate into civilized society, so most of them live in the jungle in a tribal way like animals.

Orcs are basically the lowest level of existence on the Walterlan continent, where magic is the top-level means of military force. Looking at the tens of thousands of years of recorded history of the entire Walterlan continent, there is almost no record of orcs establishing a country.

The orcs are unable to use magic, which means that it is difficult for this race to survive independently in the magical civilization world. Without the means to protect themselves, they cannot complete the primitive accumulation of capital, let alone establish a politically independent country.

Simply because they cannot use magic, orcs can only be vassals of other races on the continent of Walterlan, where human rights are weak or even non-existent. They cannot accumulate wealth through trade, nor can they establish a country or establish an system. The best destination for orcs is to become beastmen or join the army.

Some scholars believe that orcs are the product of the mating of humans or elves with lowly and stupid animals. The animal characteristics of orcs, their strong body odor, their inability to use magic, and the fact that orcs will eventually be born no matter what race they breed with, have been combined by some early scholars into a theory - the hybrid theory.

Due to the unique physical characteristics of orcs, the unfounded theory of hybridity is still believed by people on the continent of Walterlan. This is a theory that maliciously belittles orcs and regards them as a racial threat.

Although there are many powerful orc races that can even be said to be gifted, such as the White Lion Orcs and Catmen in Xing Lili's bloodline, their powerful perception abilities and innate specific body enhancements all demonstrate the extraordinary talents in Xing Lili's bloodline.

But the inability to use magic has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of the orcs. It is also the shackles they are born with, and it is also the deep gap between the orcs and the magical civilization.
