Chapter 5, A Place of Inclusivity

Many conservative nobles, who had their own agendas and were concerned about certain interests being affected, strongly opposed it. However, under the retort of the young and reckless Duke of West, "Aren't you just worried that you can no longer freely toy with the half-elf slaves raised in your households?" they could only avoid the topic and express their objections from other angles

Finally, Magic's words left Head even more troubled: "Moreover, you currently do not possess the professional qualification of a Beast Breeder; even if you apply, you will not be hired." After saying this, Magic stood on tiptoe to flip the sign and pointed to a row of text behind it

Either it is a high-risk job that requires some skill, such as hunting monsters in the wilderness, but there is a high likelihood of being hunted by ferocious carnivorous beasts in return

He looked at the doll-faced uncle with confusion, not understanding why he had such a misunderstanding

The elves are a proud race that places extreme importance on the purity of their lineage, particularly despising humans and half-elves who possess human blood. In their eyes, humans are the culprits of nature's destruction, synonymous with evil. Half-elves, having human blood, are equally tainted by this evil

... ...

In the Elven Empire, half-elves are regarded as the lowest class of slaves, possessing no rights whatsoever. Only within the human Olympus Empire can they become citizens with guaranteed rights

"Heide, you wouldn't want to take this job, would you?" Magic looked at Heide, her round doll-like face displaying an expression that seemed to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

I see, He De scratched his head, indeed he only noticed the high rewards on m.hetushucom.com without paying attention to the potential risks. He thought that so-called care was like that of a zookeeper, not realizing that the magical beasts in this world are not those pampered pets. The magical beasts under the beast tamers are certainly not kept in cages.

Taking care of the wolf pack... Hed pondered while stroking his chin, looking back and forth for quite a while, and only the remuneration for this job made him feel it was worthwhile

Thirty-five years ago, Duke West became the lord of Roland City, which borders the Elven Empire. He began to make every effort to rescue the half-elves within the Elven Empire and the humans who had fallen into slavery there for various reasons. Undeterred by the covert exclusion from other nobles who had suffered significant losses due to his actions, he vigorously promoted half-elves with various talents.

In order to set an example for the nobility and not indulge in female pleasures, the Duke of West, a rare monogamist in the empire, who originally had only one human wife, even took a half-elf maiden as his lady.

Magic chattered on for a long time about information related to the half-elves and Roland City, suddenly shifting the topic to the red-haired knight who left a deep impression on Hede. It must be said that he truly loves to talk; although Hede has known him for only a short time, he has not seen him keep his mouth shut for more than five minutes.

Is that so? The bespectacled man was focused on checking for any work that was within his capabilities, casually responding to the nagging, baby-faced uncle.

In summary, over the years, many half-elves from the Elven Empire and the *Map* have collectively fled to Roland City. There are even dedicated guides responsible for infiltrating and persuading those half-elves and human slaves, conveying messages and directing routes. Roland City also dispatches small units to protect these refugees who have actively sought refuge.

Heid then noticed that the back of the work badge indicated: This work is limited to beast tamers of level 30 and above.

Following the familiar path, Magik arrived at the work commission office in District 11, a rudimentary shed supported by dozens of large wooden pillars. Various small wooden signs hung from the pillars, detailing the work tasks and requirements. To select a suitable job, one would simply take down a sign, register it, and then report for duty.

Indeed, professional qualifications are crucial in any world

In summary, prolonged conflicts have resulted in both the Elven Empire and the Human Empire possessing a significant number of half-elf hybrids as well as captives and slaves from each other's races

Oh, let me see. Magik immediately set aside the topic she had just intended to discuss, standing on tiptoe to look at the work badge, "Caring for the wolf pack of Lord Vina Westber, daily wage of 50 silver coins, the compensation is quite good..."

The current Lord of Roland City, Duke Grett West, proposed this revolutionary policy forty years ago: advocating for the equal citizenship rights of half-elves and prohibiting their continued status as permanent slaves

Thus, the territory of the West family, including Roland City, is referred to by the grateful half-elves as "Enqueseu," which means the land of harmony and inclusiveness in Elvish. A large number of half-elves who have obtained citizenship flock here, resulting in the population of half-elves in the West family territory far exceeding that of other regions, thriving abundantly

The currency system in the Olympus Empire is quite simple. The lowest denomination of currency is the copper coin, and two or three copper coins can provide a regular eater with a hearty meal. The higher denominations of currency are the silver coin, the gold coin, and the highest denomination, the white gold coin. The exchange ratio is 1:10, meaning 1 white gold coin = 10 gold coins = 100 silver coins = 1000 copper coins

Is there any problem

Of course, not to mention that her father, Lord Grett West, is the Duke of the Flame Wolf who has brought us and the half-elves the peaceful life we enjoy today. It was Lord Grett who rescued my father and me from the slave camp of the Elven Empire thirty-five years ago. Lady Wina has always taken great care of us; ever since she became the administrator of District 11, she frequently comes to inspect our area. Whenever she sees us in difficulty or feeling wronged, she often lends a helping hand, such as with the orphan girl living downstairs. If it weren't for Lady Wina...

Certainly, there are some ordinary humans selecting jobs, but it is evident that the number of ordinary people is somewhat less than that of capable alienated humans and half-elves

The reasons for the emergence of these mixed-race individuals are rather dark, such as war conflicts and slave trading, particularly prevalent in recent centuries

Throughout the journey, Hede also noticed that there were many half-elves in Roland City; at least three out of every ten pedestrians on the road were half-elves

This month, you are the only newcomer to have arrived safely at https://m.hetushu.com, and it was Lord Weina who came to pick you up. In fact, your luck is quite good, as Lord Weina is an idol among the people of Roland City

The then-reigning former Emperor of Olympus was a relatively wise monarch. He rationally considered that the half-elves, who possessed human lineage, had many useful abilities. Moreover, the number of these mixed-blood individuals within the empire had already become quite substantial. Solely oppressing and exploiting them would only lead to hidden dangers, while granting citizenship to the half-elves could effectively enhance their loyalty to the empire and encourage them to contribute more actively to the empire's prosperity. Thus, His Majesty the Emperor, against the majority opinion, agreed to the proposal of Duke West.

Many nobles, harboring resentment, secretly nicknamed the Duke of West as the "King of Bastards," frequently mocking the West family as a disgrace to the nobility

Jobs that involve low risk and low technical content naturally offer low compensation, and only the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled would choose such work, such as cleaning and tidying up

Magic anxiously rubbed her blue curly hair and said, "Although I also admire Lord Vina, if you intend to take this job opportunity to gaze upon Lord Vina's grandeur, I advise you to abandon that thought."

It is important to note that even the weakest wolf in Lady Wina's pack is a ferocious beast with a level above 50. Caring for them requires personally bathing and feeding them. If those giant wolves were to get angry, it would be quite serious. Recently, a half-elf with an affinity for animals was bitten...

Certainly, this must be approached with due consideration of one's capabilities, as these tasks either require a high level of technical skill or specialized knowledge. For instance, the role of a magical energy charger, such as that found in the profession of Magick, involves the input of magical energy reserves into various magical artifacts, necessitating dexterity and the ability to convert magical energy. Such positions are beyond the reach of individuals like Blackde, who lack any specialized skills or innate talent.

Certainly, if discovered by the elf patrol, a bloody conflict is inevitable

Several robust and powerful-looking dwarfs, resembling enhanced humans, have taken on the task of constructing the frontline watchtower at the new site, while a number of various types of mutated and enhanced humans are also selecting their respective tasks

Hmm? This job is quite interesting." Heid suddenly spotted a very appealing job and couldn't help but murmur a remark

The current world is divided into two major camps: the powerful Elven Empire of Aelf and the relatively weaker Human Empire of Olympus. Although a full-scale war has not yet erupted between the two factions, various minor and major frictions have never ceased.

During this time period, there are not many people here. Heid noticed seven or eight half-elves carrying bows and arrows, seemingly engaged in some combat-related tasks. The staff member in charge of registration remarked, "Collect LV30 Thunder Leopard Crystals. Recently, the Thunder Leopard packs have been somewhat rampant, so be careful."

Heide's experience yesterday was precisely this situation

According to Magic, more than 40% of the residents in Roland City and the surrounding territory of the West family are half-elves, with nearly 500,000 half-elves residing here
