Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 22: Wizarding Race

"Aren't you still willing to speak?"

Looking down at Ida who was wailing on the ground, Vic continued to ask with an indifferent expression.

As soon as he got up this morning, he called the other five slaves except Phyllis one by one, wanting to hear more information about the hidden rules from them.

Not surprisingly, none of these guys were willing to tell the truth.

They're all tough ones, even.

No matter how severely he was tortured, he still acted as if he really knew nothing.

"I...I really don't understand what you want to ask..."

With a look of pain on his face, Ida pressed his left hand, which was bleeding continuously, and repeated these words countless times.

She had multiple broken bones and fractures on her body, and even the five fingers on her right hand were torn off and thrown on the ground.

"Okay, I've seen enough of you playing dumb."

Vic was growing impatient.

The same thing happened to the four guys before. Even when faced with the threat of having their hands and feet cut off, they were unwilling to tell the truth.

Perhaps in their eyes, broken limbs can be reattached, and disabilities can be cured in some way.

But if you miss this opportunity, you will never be free again.

But is this really the case?

Vic sneered and suddenly spoke.

"Do you really believe that you can gain freedom after exchanging all your points for that spot?"

what?
Ida, who had seemed a little dazed due to the pain and continued blood loss, suddenly regained consciousness.

"You...how do you know!"

Her eyes were full of disbelief, and then she seemed to have quickly thought of something, and her expression instantly became extremely resentful.

"It's...it's that bitch Phyllis! I knew she had a problem with her brain!"

"She doesn't even want freedom, damn it...she——"

"boom!"

Vic kicked her.

"Shut up."

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Based on my understanding of wizard civilization, even if you really conceal this matter, you will not gain any freedom in the end."

"They are just a bunch of teaching tools. Once the apprentice wizards see that alien species are difficult to train, they will be disposed of."

"..."

"No, it's impossible!"

"This is what the instructor said himself. There is no way there is a problem. It is impossible..."

Ida's eyes widened, seeming frightened.

Yes, why would she think that such a thing could not happen?
She knew exactly what values ​​wizards held, but...

"No... this will never happen. As long as we hold on until then..."

Ida's eyes suddenly became extremely confused.

As Vic stared in amazement, a strange force descended and quickly sank into her forehead.

Soon, this guy named Ida returned to his original state.

My mind is full of thoughts that if I can just hold off until that time, I will be free.

……

"Psychological suggestion? Memory modification? Or mind control?"

"The powers of wizards are truly amazing."

After driving away the slave named Ida, Vic fell into deep thought.

Given this level of power, why do wizards still raise slaves and even develop a huge pillar industry around them?
This is extremely unreasonable.

It is definitely not something that can be explained by theories like social inertia.

Because extraordinary powers will bring about an extreme expansion of productivity and can also create things like artificial intelligence.

In theory, slavery should have been eliminated long ago. At worst, it would become a very niche industry, providing customized services only to those in need.

After all, it costs so much to raise and train slaves, but in the end they are not as useful as something that can be mass-produced, such as a golem puppet.

There is also the risk of offending powerful alien races that have not been conquered by the wizards, which greatly reduces the possibility of cooperation.

Why bother?
Therefore, Vic is now very sure that there must be some special reason that he does not know about, which has led to the widespread phenomenon of enslaving other races in wizard civilization.

Even the admission process for new apprentices has to include this "unique culture of wizard civilization", and a backstabbing session is thoughtfully prepared to give the apprentices this "first lesson of the school year".

It’s a bit…

……

Of course, the wizards are not stupid enough to treat all alien species as slaves and resources and become the evil people condemned by everyone.

In fact, according to the information Vic found.

For the alien races who voluntarily submit to the wizard civilization, there is still a lot of room for them to rise within the wizard civilization.

In addition to the famous wizard transformation ceremony, there are also various policies to ensure their survival and development.

For example, a hierarchical social hierarchy.

Although these aliens cannot become real citizens, as their social status improves, they can completely avoid the worry of life, and even accumulate more wealth of their own and obtain some of the rights of wizards.

What's more, they can even use the resources of wizard civilization to seek better development for themselves.

This social hierarchy is called the wizarding race system.

In the wizarding racial system, the population is divided into many classes.

From high to low, they are: formal wizards, first-class meritorious aliens (meritorious citizens), second-class meritorious aliens (upper citizens), first-class apprentice wizard potential, third-class meritorious aliens (new citizens), second-class apprentice wizard potential, third-class apprentice wizard potential, aliens with citizenship (commoners), fourth-class apprentice wizard potential, fifth-class apprentice wizard potential, aliens with residence rights (lower citizens), mortals in the wizarding world, contract labor aliens (dust people), and slave aliens.

Yes, like the alien races, apprentice wizards are divided into many different levels according to their potential.

Apprentices of different levels will also receive different treatments in the academy.

After the ship docks, based on the situation on board, apprentice wizards with good performance will be rated as fourth-level potential, while those with poor performance will be rated as fifth-level.

As for being directly rated as third grade?

I can only say that it is possible, but not very likely.

Of course, this potential level is not static, but it is more difficult to improve it later.

Therefore, the competitive atmosphere on the ship is so strong.

……

……

"Master, please favor Phyllis..."

After helping her master bathe, Phyllis knelt beside Vic with excitement.

Her voice was shaking, her tail swishing from side to side, and she looked like she could hardly contain her excitement.

After a month, the master finally allowed her to give her all.

To be honest, if her master hadn't teased her often and asked her to do things that a personal maid should do, she would really doubt whether her master looked down on her.

After all, she was just a lowly slave and was not worthy of a perfect master.

But luckily...

At Vic's signal, Phyllis carefully lay in her master's arms, allowing her master's big hands to play with her.

"Hmm~"

It was as if strings of electric currents were passing through every part of the body.

The little maid was trembling all over.

"Tsk, why are you enjoying yourself without permission?"

"I almost forgot. I promised to punish you yesterday. I think now is a good time."

Vic pinched her face and whispered.

“Ugh…Please, please don’t show any mercy and use Phyllis as you like.”

Phyllis' eyes were full of anticipation, and it was obvious that her brain was completely broken and she couldn't think about anything else.
