Final Lord

Chapter 3: Caveman Slaves

Wang Bufu patted Butler Ming's shoulder and said, "Uncle Ming, stop the team and help me out. I want to talk to the cavemen."

“This…” Steward Ming hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Wang Bufu seemed to have reached a consensus with his daughter, he stopped trying to dissuade him and instead gritted his teeth and agreed: “Okay, Master, I’ll listen to you.”

"Stop the car! Rest here."

Call——

A clear horse neigh sounded, and then the carriage slowed down.

Wei Yi opened the carriage curtain, and Wang Bufu, supported by Butler Ming, stepped out of the carriage. He immediately saw the caveman slaves pulling the axle-loaded carts around him.

These cavemen were only about one meter tall, with no clear differentiation between the body and head. The entire body and head together formed an irregular oval shape.

Their limbs are very short, and they look like green winter melons with hands and feet. They have no eyes or noses on their faces, only a mouth with sharp teeth.

As soon as the order to rest was given, these cave slaves lay on the ground in a disorderly manner, their chests heaving up and down, and their eyes vacant.

It’s not their fault.

The cavemen's movement speed is actually not slow. They can easily catch up with horses if they run at full speed.

But they had little strength and endurance. A single packhorse could easily pull a supply cart, but ten cavemen would have to pull it with the same effect.

Generally speaking, cavemen would gradually lose their strength after running at full speed for about two hours. The fact that they were able to follow the carriage all the way here was already a sign of their desire to survive, fearing the bandits.

"If my guess is correct..." Wang Bufu focused his attention on these cavemen and observed them intently.

【Name: Big Butt

Race: Caveman (common)

Caveman's inherent racial talents: fast digging, timid and cowardly
Level: Level 0, Level 9

【Name: Shan Pao
……

Level: Level 0, Level 9

【Name: Blind Cat
……

Level: Level 0, Level 9

The king was not convinced but felt relieved. He said to Wei Yi:
"It's just as I thought. The last batch of caveman slaves in Gru Territory was purchased two years ago. Cavemen have special reproductive habits and cannot reproduce in Gru Territory, so there are no new cavemen.

In other words, all the cavemen have worked in Gru Territory for at least two years!
As slaves, they had no chance to be lazy. They worked non-stop, plowing the fields, loosening the soil, and transporting goods.

Even though the experience points given by these ordinary jobs are very low, they have already accumulated enough experience to advance.

However, they lack the resources and formulas to help them complete the advancement, so they have been stuck on the edge of advancement.

As long as I can arm them, they will be good soldiers for me."

"So what?" Wei Yi retorted with a frown, "It's not like there aren't any big cavemen in the territory. Even dealing with powerful beasts is difficult."

Wang Bufu nodded and said:
"You're right. If they were simply allowed to advance normally to become Great Cavemen, they wouldn't be of much use. The gap between Level 1 and Level 3 is enormous. The Great Cavemen probably wouldn't even be able to break through the Desert Bandits' defenses."

Expecting the caveman to defeat the sand bandits is like expecting a chicken to kill a tiger. You must go through the hidden advancement process."

"Hidden advancement? You actually know the caveman's hidden advancement formula?" Wei Yi was quite surprised.

"Yes, there are relevant books in the Commander Academy library." Wang Bufu didn't explain too much. He patted Butler Ming on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Ming, which supply truck is loaded with food and fresh water? Take me there."

"Master, this way."

Wang Bufu, supported by Butler Ming, walked towards the supply truck. Wei Yi followed behind them, staring at Wang Bufu's back suspiciously.

In the world of Divine Guardianship, hidden advanced formulas are of paramount importance. A single formula is the foundation of a unique and exceptional military unit. There are countless examples of downtrodden individuals unexpectedly mastering a hidden advanced formula, training powerful troops, and ultimately rising to power.

For example, the first king of the Stag Duchy - Alexander the Deer King.

One of the important reasons why Alexander was able to establish a country was that he mastered a hidden advanced formula called [Stag Cavalry], which enabled him to train a powerful cavalry unit that only he possessed.

"The caveman's hidden advanced formula is not that easy to find. I saw it in the library. It's a trick to deceive the undead!

With Kate's stupid brain, if he really had the formula, he would have upgraded the cavemen in the territory long ago and would not have waited until now.

He's so mysterious, and I don't know what he's up to."

Wang Bufu didn't notice Wei Yi's gaze. As soon as he reached the supply truck, he couldn't wait to lift the cloth covering the truck. Several large buckets full of dry bread and air-dried chicken appeared in front of Wang Bufu. Next to the bread and air-dried chicken, there were also a pile of bulging water bags.

The king was overjoyed.

"There are so many! I remember when Lincoln let us go, he only gave us a cart of old, moldy wheat grains."

Butler Ming smirked, "Hehe. Of course I hid it under the master's orders. The master had already prepared a batch of supplies for you, young master, and had told me to look after them personally. No one else would know about it except me."

These are all kept by the master for your engagement, and are the betrothal gifts to the woman.

I personally watched the food rotate every year, and it was all good stuff. In addition to food, there were also some resources, gold, and other treasures.

While that bastard Lincoln wasn't paying attention, I asked someone to help me replace the rubbish he gave us with these supplies.

Young Master, don't lose heart. Although Lincoln is powerful, there are still many loyal subjects like me in our Gru Territory. They are forced to submit to Lincoln and endure humiliation, but if you can come up with a way to deal with Lincoln and raise your arms, they will definitely fight for you.

"Very good, then I'm even more confident! You're truly a man, Uncle Ming. Although my father left behind a troublesome person like Lincoln, he also left behind a wise and capable person like you, Uncle Ming!"
I have you, Uncle Ming, here, just like a fish in water! Why worry about Lincoln not dying and the territory being uneven."

Wang Bufu looked at Uncle Ming gratefully and picked up a piece of dry bread and a piece of dried meat.

"Haha, it's just so-so. Master, you're too kind. I just did my job. It's all thanks to you, Master."

As soon as Butler Ming started to laugh, he was hit in the face with bread and dried meat.

"Master, what are you doing? The food is too dry. Do you need me to help you deal with it? But there is no kitchen right now. Let me think of a way."

"Um... no." Wang Bufu shook his head and said, "Uncle Ming, please get some fresh water bags and distribute these foods and fresh water to the cavemen. Make sure everyone gets one portion, no more, and no one can be left out." "Ah! Master! These are all the best white bread and the best air-dried meat." Butler Ming suddenly became anxious: "How can those slaves have the right to eat these good things? I am not even qualified to eat them. Only you and my good daughter are qualified to eat them.

You are warriors, and you need these things to quickly replenish your physical strength so that you can have the strength to fight the monsters in the Chaos Land. They can just eat rye like me. "

Wang Bufu looked at Butler Ming and said with a smile, "They are also warriors. I know that these are all carefully prepared by you, Uncle Ming, and you may be reluctant to give them up. But compared to our lives, these are not worth mentioning.

I won’t make it difficult for you, I’ll do it myself.”

The king turned around and shouted, "All cavemen, listen up. Line up in front of me."

"Ah? Young Master!" Butler Ming wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw the determined expression on Wang Bufu's face, he swallowed the words back.

Hearing the king's disobedient order, the resting cave slaves looked at each other and no one moved.

The cave dwellers knew that, under normal circumstances, the nobles would ignore them and that if they came to them, it would definitely be bad news. Therefore, they were waiting for their silly companion to go over and investigate first.

As it turned out, no one was stupid, and not a single caveman came before Wang Bufu.

"All cavemen, listen up. Line up in front of me and get ready to get lunch." Wang Bufu had no choice but to shout loudly again, this time adding the order to start eating.

When they heard the news that dinner was about to start, all the cavemen stood up. If they weren't enthusiastic about dinner, there was something wrong with their brains.

Soon, the cave people lined up in a crooked line in front of Wang Bufu.

Wang Bufu handed the dry bread, dried meat, and water bag to the first caveman and said softly, "Here, this is your portion. After you take it, go eat it over there and don't disturb the order."

Cavemen have no vision, but they have a very keen sense of smell that helps them perceive their environment. The caveman in front of Wang Bufu lowered his head and sniffed.

Wang Bufu saw this and gently broke the dry bread apart.

A crisp sound echoed, the sound of the dry bread's fibers breaking. The rich aroma of wheat, as if sealed in time, released as the dry bread broke, instantly filling the air. The caveman's nose twitched, then again, his mouth slightly parted in a state of fascination.

Wang Bufu smiled slightly and looked at the dried chicken in his hand. It must be said that the food that Butler Ming carefully selected was indeed exquisite. The color of the dried chicken was a deep red and brown, the result of the perfect fusion of the seasoning and the chicken's texture.

Wang Bufu deliberately brought the dried chicken close to the caveman's nose. At that moment, a rich aroma of meat came to his nose, and the deliciousness of the chicken itself was intertwined with the aroma of the seasoning.

Just by smelling it, cavemen could imagine the firm texture of dried chicken.

Gulu.

The caveman's throat moved and saliva began to secrete from his mouth.

Gulu.

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard not only by the cavemen in front of Wang Bufu, but also by the cavemen behind him. They smelled the aroma of dry bread and air-dried chicken and began to look in. A few impatient cavemen even used their hands to pull their fellows in front of them, trying to cut in line, but none of them succeeded.

Although Wang Bufu was extremely greedy, the caveman in front of him took a step back and said in a stuttering Common Language: "Lord, did you take the wrong thing? This should be your food. We cavemen should eat rye."

"Oh?" Wang Bufu raised an eyebrow. The cavemen's normal language was an emotional language consisting of simple syllables like "hiss, ha, woo, la." Because their vocal organs differed from humans', it was difficult for them to produce complex syllables.

This also made it very difficult for cavemen to learn the common language of the continent. Most cavemen were unable to learn to speak the common language throughout their lives - they could understand it but not speak it.

Although the other party's common language had some syllables wrong, Wang Bufu was still able to understand it. This was already very impressive among cavemen.

Wang Bufu couldn't help but check the other party's name and memorized it in his mind.

Blind cat.

Wang Bufu forced the thing in his hand into the blind cat's arms and said to the blind cat:
"I didn't take it by mistake. This is your food for this time. Take it and eat it.

Come! Next one"

"Thank you, sir."

Blind Cat crouched by the roadside with the food, vaguely sensing the cavemen's line gradually shrinking in front of Wang Bufu. One by one, they took the incredible delicacy and squatted by the roadside, eagerly devouring it.

A mouthful of dry bread, then a bite of chicken, then a sip of water, followed by a hearty exclamation of admiration. This is what all cavemen do.

The blind cat didn't move its mouth; it didn't dare eat. He was the oldest of all the cavemen and could speak the common language. He learned a lot from the human merchants, including many examples of human nobles torturing caveman slaves for fun.

Some people threw the cavemen into oil pans, some forced them to dig dog holes, and some even hung them up and whipped them.

He was afraid that the delicious food in front of him was a trap.

"We are unworthy of such good food. Perhaps this is a vicious test from the lord. Soon, the young lord will hang all the cavemen who dare to eat the food, leaving only the cavemen who waited obediently for the rye."

At first, the blind cat could still hold back, but as more and more cavemen ate heartily and the aroma of bread and chicken filled his nose, his mind was finally completely dominated by his rumbling stomach.

"Ah! It smells so good. I don't care. Even if this is my last meal before I die, I'll accept it. Let's eat."

Click.

The crunch of dry bread, the spice of chicken, the sweetness of clean water. Like the other cave dwellers, Blind Cat sighed in admiration from the bottom of his throat.

How wonderful! How many years has it been since I last had something this delicious? The blind cat trembled all over.

He chewed slowly, savoring every bite until the bread became sticky and the chicken tasted bland, only then did he swallow it reluctantly.

But there was only so much bread and chicken, and he would finish them no matter how slowly he ate. When his hands were empty, he could only lick his greasy palms with his tongue to savor the delicious taste, just like other cavemen.

Seeing the last caveman finish the food in his hand, Wang Bufu pushed Butler Ming away, stood up straight, and walked towards the center where the cavemen gathered.

Seeing this, the blind cat, who was savoring the moment, quickly stood up from the ground, trembling with fear. He felt that their judgment was about to come.

As he stood up, the caveman slaves who were slow to react also became alert. They stood up straight like him and focused their attention on Wang Bufu.

"Everyone," Wang Bufu said loudly and solemnly in the crowd, "Many of you may have never eaten food like that. As for me, I've been eating this since I was born and I'm tired of it.

Have you ever wondered why this is happening?"
