"To tell the master, these humans are growing oats for their daily food."
Philip didn't dare to ignore it and quickly gave the answer.
"In our human society, we don't need to hunt or collect food from the outside world. Instead, we get it by growing food and raising livestock. As long as the year is good, we can basically guarantee a year-round ration."
"oh!"
Allen suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is planting. How can you harvest food in such a huge city in one day? It turns out that it is all about planting!"
"However, I see there isn't much land outside the castle to grow oats. Can you guarantee that they can support the population of Thorn Castle?"
While solving the puzzle, more doubts came to Allen's mind.
"There is not much land to cultivate and grow food in the Elf Kingdom. They prefer to plant hazel trees to harvest hazelnuts, or use the magic of druids to cultivate better fruits, etc. to meet their daily rations. The local population of the Elf Kingdom In fact, they are at a disadvantage among the four major civilization systems. Their advantage is that they are stronger individually and live longer, which allows them to not have much burden in production, planting and food supply."
"The Castle of Thorns itself is an important military location, and more food sources are supplied by the Elf Kingdom itself, so the land you see now is just cultivated by other races that have settled in the Castle of Thorns over the years."
This is the benefit of having knowledge. This is the only time in Philip's life that he has set foot in the Castle of Thorns. However, as the frontier town of the Elf Kingdom, the Human Kingdom naturally has scholars who study this place. Therefore, when faced with Alan's question, Philip thinks he is still Meaningful.
"So this is ah."
Allen nodded to express his understanding, and then asked again.
"Why do you think so few people in our wilderness race grow food crops? Since you said growing food crops is more stable, we don't have much else in the wilderness, but we have a lot of land, so reclaiming it for planting shouldn't be a problem."
"this……"
Phillip had a headache. He had never been in the wilderness. He was escorted from the human kingdom to the elf kingdom. He spent most of the time in a cage and had no chance to observe the situation outside.
"I heard that the land in the wilderness is barren and lacks water sources for irrigation, so..."
When answering this question, Phillip seemed a little unsure, and his eyes rolled around in his sockets.
"Other than that?"
Allen raised his voice a little louder and his tone was a little stern.
"...I'm sorry, Master. I actually don't know much about the wilderness. It's really hard to answer this question."
In the end, Phillip looked up helplessly and sadly admitted his shortcomings to Allen.
"I don't want your answer to be perfunctory and deceive me. If you say you don't know the answer, maybe I won't be angry. But if you find some excuse to perfunctory me, if I find out, I will inevitably give you some punishment. remember."
Allen's face was cold and his tone was frosty. For him, Philip's biggest role was to inform him of the knowledge and experience of the outside world. If the other party used unfounded things to prevaricate him, then this guy would have no meaning in existence.
"M-I understand, Master."
Philip, who had not experienced much in the world, suddenly shrank when faced with the frost on Allen's face, and nodded timidly.
"Isn't it said that there are some farmers among the slaves? Go and find out for me whether food can be grown in the wilderness."
At this time, Allen seemed to notice in his heart that perhaps the purpose of the goblin old man Ferok letting him buy these human slaves was not as simple as he imagined.
"yes."
Phillip raised his hand and wiped the fine sweat on his head, and asked carefully: "Do you need me to go over now?"
"That's not necessary. Just ask me by the way when you have a rest in the evening. Now I have other questions that I want to know."
"You humans..."
Along the way, Allen kept Philip with him. Not only did he teach him common words, but he would also ask questions on the spot when he saw something he didn't understand along the way. Some of them Philip could answer right away, while others required a lot of thinking and thinking. Or give answers after communicating with other people. Some questions are not easy to answer at all.
But at least, in the past few days after entering the Thunder Tribe's sphere of influence, Allen has gained a lot of knowledge and learned more common sense and knowledge.
"Clan leader, there are a few more goblins behind us, what should we do?"
When he was escorting Feili and his caravan before, Allen had never encountered a single plunderer. Now when they were dragging three trucks back alone, a few tails appeared behind them from time to time.
These tails were hiding from the beginning, throwing stones in the distance to test Allen and the others, and then they finally showed their bodies and followed the team hundreds of yards away. It was Dashan, Flower Snake and the others who led people to intimidate and drive them away. It won't have much effect either.
"Let them follow."
Allen was also helpless, but unfortunately they were followed by short and useless goblins. If it were a hobgoblin or a bugbear, he wouldn't mind taking them in. Now he is still worried about the dozen goblins who were treated as gifts. How to place it.
"Um, clan leader, Blackhead and the others asked me to ask if they could pick out a few good-looking ones from the females at the back and take them back?"
The flower snake coquettishly managed to say the embarrassing words, and her green cheeks seemed to be imprinted with two red clouds by the setting sun.
"Oh~"
The tone of Allen's word "oh" was a bit weird, with several tones in the voice. Hua She almost put her head to her chest when she heard it, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look directly at Allen.
"I, I just want to ask Black Head and the others. If you say it's not possible, I'll go back and tell Black Head and the others right away."
"Hahaha, you little guy!"
Flower Snake is less than two months older than Allen. According to tribal customs, he has reached adulthood two years earlier. He was supposed to have a partner, but because there are few females in the tribe and most of them are ugly, Flower Snake has not yet been able to find a partner. I haven't had sex a few times, so I'm full of lust that I've been holding back.
There are still several young men in the tribe who are like Hua She. Although the tribe has lost some men in several battles in the past few months, so that the female resources are not so tight, but with the deserted entertainment environment of the Green Field tribe at night, Naturally, everyone wants to have multiple partners around them at night and have one more entertainment activity to pass the time!
Allen finally laughed at Hua She, and then waved him away.
"Let me think about this matter and give you an answer tomorrow."
Allen has many things to consider, unlike simple-minded guys like Hua She, who besides eating and drinking, have instincts such as sleeping and reproduction.
