Tina heard Fang Ka's question and immediately responded: "Three people, one is a little elf girl named Ruo Ruo."
"Another is a little human girl named Kassaki."
"And the last one is a young orc named Kun Te."
Fang Ka nodded slightly upon hearing this. The caravan that Sonam originally belonged to was a very famous large caravan.
This type of caravan certainly wouldn't risk engaging in human trafficking; they traded slaves in accordance with the regulations.
And the slaves sold through formal channels come from a very diverse background, but one thing is certain.
That is, they must all be ordinary people. Normally, people can have their qualifications tested at five years old; those with a Vital Acupoint or Demon Source wouldn't end up as slaves, as per the rules in the slave trade.
Knights and Mages are not permitted to become slaves, nor are they allowed to be bought or sold.
Except in the Ten Mother Islands and the black market, where human trafficking or sinister methods might involve Mages and Knights, you won't see them through regular channels.
Aiman, for example, was unfortunate, getting picked up by a shady slave trader involved in smuggling.
If he had been picked up by a legitimate merchant, he'd definitely have his qualifications tested before deciding whether or not to enslave him.
The caravan Sonam belonged to was a legitimate one, so the slaves on that ship were naturally ordinary people. Later, these slaves were bred by the goblins, producing a large number of children.
The goblins, of course, wouldn't test these children's qualifications, nor would they teach them the methods of cultivation.
The first batch of slaves stayed in the Underground City for about twenty years. Their offspring, the older ones have reached adulthood, while the younger ones are still children.
Fang Ka conducted Demon Source and Vital Acupoint tests on these first-generation slaves' descendants.
Therefore, it's entirely understandable that, among the three Mages with a Demon Source, two are children and one is a teenager.
However, there are many issues with Noel's statement, so after pondering for a bit, Fang Ka began to inquire.
"First, about the names, there's no issue with the other two, but why is there one called Ruo Ruo? Is it because she refuses to give up her alias?"
Fang Ka, not being from this world, doesn't recognize the concept of aliases, but to the people of this world, an alias is an insult, so he's quite curious.
Upon hearing this, Tina promptly explained Ruo Ruo's situation in detail.
After listening, Fang Ka nodded slightly: "A very good girl, she makes a valid point. In that case, let her be, and I think the name Ruo Ruo sounds nice too."
"Also, you mentioned an orc teenager—is he a Southern Beastman? Northern Beastman? Or Western Beastman?"
There are three types of Beastmen.
In the far north of the Eastern Continent, there's the "Mad Beast Empire," composed of Beastmen with animal heads and human bodies, called 'Northern Beastmen' by other races.
On the southernmost part of the Eastern Continent, there's the "Beastman Federation."
Here, the Beastmen don't look much different from humans, but they have animal traits, like cat-eared girls, fox-eared girls, and wolf-eared boys, all products of the Beastman Federation.
Beastmen from the "Beastman Federation" are called "Southern Beastmen."
The Beastman Federation is also the hottest spot for slave trading.
In the Western Continent, there's the "Broken Teeth Kingdom," made up of ugly green-skinned orcs, called "Western Beastmen" by other forces.
Tina realized her lack of clarity in Fang Ka's inquiry and quickly supplemented: "He's a Southern Beastman, a wolf branch."
Fang Ka nodded slightly; as a Southern Beastman, this boy's appearance wouldn't differ much from humans.
In the wolf branch, he'd have a wolf tail, wolf pupils as eyes, and wolf ears.
Fang Ka slightly nodded and, after understanding the situation of these three Mages, continued instructing: "Once those three are initiated and gain magic power, have them take turns guarding the Brahma Wall Magic Array."
In doing so, there's no need to always have Noel bring Sonam over to open the gateway.
This makes things much more convenient.
Fang Ka then shifted the conversation to those with Vital Acupoints: "As for those with Vital Acupoints, have the third underground level's Steel Mill produce uniform armor and weapons for them."
"After they've refined their Battle Energy, arrange for them—some to guard designated spots, others to patrol."
A game without official NPC guards is obviously flawed; the strength of the guards isn't important, but creating a classy atmosphere for players is essential.
The players on Kain Island are about to reach the requirements, and soon, more players will venture into the Underground City in batches.
Creating this classy atmosphere is certainly excellent because, to these players, Kain Island is a Newbie Island, while the Underground City has already surpassed the Newbie Village.
Hearing Fang Ka's instruction, Tina was a bit stunned, evidently not expecting such an arrangement, but she nodded in agreement: "Understood, Lord Fang Ka."
Fang Ka continued: "Also, after some time, if any among them shows exceptional talent, they can be selected to act as their leader and undergo focused cultivation, gaining the opportunity to be of great use to me in the future."
Tina immediately nodded to show her understanding.
Fang Ka gave a few more brief instructions, then had Tina go make the arrangements.
After closing the Eye of Darkness Main Magic Array, Fang Ka used the Soul Contract to switch his perspective to Sea Flip.
He intended to see whether the players had discovered anything over this period.
...
"Guys, we have a big discovery ahead!"
The flying Iron Black Pot suddenly descended and called out to Caged Parrot and others swimming in the sea.
Wangzai Little Buns, hearing this, curiously flew into Skyrim but saw nothing.
Though her speed far surpassed Iron Black Pot's, granting dynamic vision, she didn't have Iron Black Pot's ultra-distance super vision.
"Scapegoat, what did you see? All I see is the seamless union of sea and sky," Wangzai Little Buns asked.
Iron Black Pot laughed and said: "I see a large island in the distance."
Wangzai Little Buns responded: "Oh? Then shall I fly over for a look? You follow?"
If Wangzai Little Buns didn't wait for other players, she would indeed cover distance at an exceptional pace, potentially keeping up with a Nightmare Beast.
Were it not for Iron Black Pot's super vision and the likelihood of getting lost at sea, she would certainly have gone scouting alone.
