"No problem," Cassia said casually, "I'm just stopping by on the way." "Yes, yes!" Turner bowed repeatedly. Then, he touched his head as if he remembered something, and added resources @※ source↓】1 group→∵:⑧'¥五='⑺浏览liu《∷散四¢》④×—二道: "Miss Cassia is interested in slave training recently?" "There's a new batch of good stuff coming to the camp recently, including a few ogres and a minotaur. Since you're here, would you like to take a look?" "Also, I got a bottle of fine wine from the earthly world at the auction. If you don't mind, we can drink it while we watch." He continued hurriedly, as if he was afraid of missing something. "Next time." Cassia just replied calmly, "I have something else to do in the Spider Academy." "Okay!" Turner said excitedly, his face flushed red. "Well then," Cassia smiled and reminded again, "I'll leave Li Yin to you." "Of course!" Turner's body trembled with excitement. He grabbed the long whip at his waist and swung it with a snap. "Since it is Miss Cassia's request, I will definitely put in 120% of my energy to train this slave." Cassia's eyebrows twitched slightly when she saw this.

“But don’t be too harsh.” She straightened her face and tried hard to suppress her worries. Chapter 2 Slave Warriors () "Run, run, you bastards!" On the training ground of the Borginia family slave camp, smoke and dust filled the sky. Instructor Turner held a long whip in his hand and whipped the running slaves from time to time. "If anyone dares not practice well, I will throw it to feed the ogres!" He said viciously. In the flying dust, Li Yin covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and swung the other hand at his side as he ran, sandwiched in the large group and following closely behind everyone. Drill Sergeant Turner's vicious declaration was more than just a threat. Li Yin glanced sideways and looked to the front and side. One on the left and one on the right, there were two humanoid creatures with black hair, yellowish skin, almost twice his height, and bodies as huge as hills. After Turner made that resounding declaration, their small, dim yellow triangular eyes became noticeably brighter, and their big mouths full of fangs opened and closed, splashing out strings of smelly saliva. These are the ogres Turner was talking about, a pair of brothers named Goo Goo and Lulu. At least, in the past ten days, Li Yin had seen them fighting once. It was a cunning hobgoblin, who was famous for their militaristic culture and love of war. This hobgoblin warrior was very dissatisfied with the dark elves' training methods, and even thought that training with low-IQ creatures such as ogres and orcs was an insult to it. So during the training process, it cleverly used its wisdom to try to be lazy and take shortcuts to avoid the training it disdained to participate in. When this behavior was exposed to the sharp eyes of the dark elf instructor, Turner whipped it dozens of times, leaving its skin torn and flesh exposed, and then gave it to the ogre brothers as meat. Moreover, Turner forced all the slaves in the special training camp to watch the ogre brothers' "meal" as a warning to others. So, when the poor creature's limbs were carelessly twisted off by the ogre brothers, torn into pieces in the bloody rain, and sent into the ogre's big mouth with residual gasps and screams, Li Yin finally succeeded in vomiting for the first time in the underground world... This incident greatly awakened Li Yin's sense of survival crisis - although he knew very well that because of Cassia's care, a similar situation would basically not happen to him. Therefore, there was no need for the dark elf instructor to urge him with all his energy. Li Yin had already put in his full energy and devoted himself to the training in the special training camp. Speaking of the special training camp, this camp is composed of the stronger individuals selected by the Borgia family from all their combat slaves. The Borgia family conducts unified training on these individuals to enable them to master basic martial arts and military coordination.

Such slaves can assist the regular troops of the Dark Elves on the battlefield. The other slaves, that is, the majority of ordinary slave warriors who have not undergone special training, are pure cannon fodder on the battlefield, and are only used to detect enemy traps and attract enemy firepower. "Top pick!" "Stab straight!" "Right slash!" "Left horizontal cut!" "Very good, repeat the above steps a thousand times." …… "Straighten your legs! Damn it! Didn't you eat? If you can't straighten them, I'll give you a discount!" After the initial physical training, as usual, it was martial arts training. After the instructor Turner directed the slaves to review the basic movements, he ordered everyone to exercise on their own, and then he began to inspect them one by one with a whip. For Li Yin, these trainings really benefited him a lot in the past few days. Although they were all very basic moves, they were just right for someone like him who had no basics at all. Through these simple postures, he mastered the correct force-generating techniques. However, the problem was that they were too basic. After Li Yin mastered them in a very short time, he soon found himself with nothing to do. He had been actively learning and absorbing them at the beginning, but now it had become a mechanical repetitive action. Instructor Turner walked past him holding a whip, stopped in front of him for a moment, and watched him. A hint of approval slowly appeared on his face, which originally looked harsh because of its sharpness. Li Yin smiled back, but his body did not stop the mechanical repetitive movements. Who knows if this sadistic guy is doing a sting operation? If my polite response delays my training, he might just whip me. However, Li Yin knew that his worries were mostly groundless. The other party would not deliberately make things difficult for him. Of course, this had nothing to do with how standard his movements were or how serious his training was, it was just because he was sent by Princess Cassia. On the first day he arrived at the gate of the slave camp with Cassia, Li Yin saw how enthusiastic and respectful this dark elf male was to Cassia. Instructor Turner smiled, nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and continued to walk forward. Li Yin repeated the actions he had already memorized, while thinking about his current situation. His biggest advantage now is that he still maintains a stable connection with Cassia. On the first day she sent him to the slave camp, Cassia did not agree to his request to "go back" in person, but the people she sent to greet him were already waiting outside the gate of the slave camp before the training was over that evening. He also spent most of the nights thereafter with Cassia. But there are occasional exceptions. When a day's training is over and her messenger has not arrived, Li Yin has to stay in the barracks. When this situation first occurred, Li Yin was really shocked. He was worried that the charm spell would exceed its duration. But fortunately, when Cassia summoned him again the next night, everything was normal. Li Yin concluded that his psychic charm could last at least two days. It was reasonable, after all, his arcane charm spell could last for four days. Although psychic power and arcane spells were not interchangeable, the power base of both was the mental power of the caster. The same mental power was used to cast psychic power. Although it was not systematically and scientifically trained like his arcane spells and had a perfectly optimized spell model, the final effect was half as good as expected. Li Yin even secretly guessed that the ultimate duration of his psychic charm spell might exceed that of the previous arcane charm spell. Because he absorbed the soul of the mind flayer larva, his mental strength was significantly improved compared to before. Chapter 3 Slave Warriors () However, he had no intention of verifying this bold conjecture...that was too dangerous. Reality did not give him a chance to verify it. In the past ten days, he and Cassia had been separated for less than two days at most. Speaking of which... Thinking of this, Li Yin's mouth twitched. His dark elf mistress had clearly said "I don't like greedy puppies", but it was she who was greedy...

He sweated profusely and trained hard in the slave camp during the day, and every night he had to satisfy her bone-draining demands. It is true that Li Yin had no practical experience in this matter before, but based on some rumors he heard from the world above, he knew that this was obviously abnormal. If this continued, it would not be long before he was squeezed alive and turned into a "dry body" due to excessive exhaustion. But in fact, he didn't have this feeling - whether it was the hard training during the day or the intense and intimate contact with the female dark elf at night, he never seemed to feel exhausted. He guessed that this was also related to the changes in his body - tirelessness, which was the characteristic of the undead creature, that is, the ghoul. I am already a "dead man", he looked at Instructor Turner not far away, and the heroic face of the dark elf female noble vaguely appeared in front of him again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin, no matter what you do, it is impossible to let a "dead man" die again, right? Speaking of which - in line with a wizard's truth-seeking and pragmatic spirit, Li Yin began to make divergent associations - if we ignore their universal hunger for the flesh and blood of the living, undead creatures are really a high-level life form that do not need to take in material nutrients and can possess inexhaustible energy. If there is a way to eliminate their defects, then wouldn't it be me? Li Yin suddenly realized the precious research value of himself. However, it would not be easy to thoroughly study the changes in himself. Li Yin believed that he was not the first wizard to realize the great value hidden in the undead creatures. There must have been countless predecessors who had tried to crack this problem before. Especially those great wizards who were ready to transform themselves into undead creatures to prolong their lives. Since relevant research results have not appeared yet, it only means that the difficulty of this project is beyond imagination. However, perhaps there is another simple and quick way to use them - what if we put shackles and reins on the ghouls and zombies like taming wild beasts? With some professionally trained wizard apprentices as commanders, ordering them to complete some repetitive heavy physical labor, there should be no problem with this, right? Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited. In particular, Lahya, as the country of yellow sand, is extremely poor, with drought and high temperatures all year round, and raging sandstorms. The working environment is extremely harsh for ordinary people - but for undead creatures, these problems are also not a problem. The only thing they need to pay attention to is to avoid daytime and only work at night - and this is not even special. In the hottest months in Lahya, even normal humans can only rest during the day and work at night... "Snap—" The loud sound of a whip suddenly woke Li Yin from his endless thoughts. "Gather, quickly, assemble!" "You sons of bitches!" At the front of the team, Instructor Turner was urging them on angrily, as if one of the slaves had angered him. But no one actually annoyed him, it was just his normal tone of giving orders to his slaves. The slaves who were originally practicing in a scattered arrangement at a fixed distance quickly gathered towards the center. After so many days of training, Li Yin has become very familiar with it. The next step is to practice military formations. Under the instructions of instructor Turner, they will form several basic formations commonly used in combat. Li Yin took a step forward and, like the other slaves, hurried towards instructor Turner. At this moment, he suddenly realized something with frustration - the earthly world was too far away from him, and his plan to use undead creatures to innovate productivity seemed extremely unrealistic. But right now, there is indeed a tireless undead creature who is following the orders of the living in a meticulous manner - that is himself... ------------ It was already evening and the day's training was over. The other slaves were rubbing their sore limbs, spitting out various dirty words, and walking towards the pool and the dining hall while cursing. Li Yin, however, remained on the training ground. He turned his head again and looked worriedly outside the platinum fence. "It seems they won't come today." Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind him and patted him on the shoulder. "Instructor!" Li Yin raised his head, glanced at the person who came, and immediately lowered his head. At the same time, he put his knees together and straightened his body, as if he was in the army, waiting for further instructions at any time. Turner looked at the slave again with approval. As expected of a slave sent by Miss Cassia herself and instructed to be carefully trained. His physical fitness may not be the strongest among these slaves, but his will is definitely the strongest. After a day of hard training, he can still put on this battle-ready posture at any time. This strong willpower that is enough to overcome all fatigue and exhaustion is rarely achieved even among the well-trained dark elf warriors.

Moreover, he was the smartest among the slaves, and was totally different from the other slaves, such as the two ogres who only knew how to eat and swell. His strict posture not only showed his strong willpower, but also showed that he could quickly understand the rules and etiquette in the army. They were also suddenly called by me. If it were those two ogres, they would probably still be staggering and drooling. "Don't be so serious." Turner smiled at the slave soldier in front of him, "The training is over, now it's time to rest." "Yes." Li Yin responded decisively at first, then smiled at Turner in a relaxed manner. "Waiting for Miss Cassia?" Turner smiled kindly. Li Yin was stunned for a moment, then his face turned slightly red and he nodded shyly. "It looks like your expectations today will be dashed." Turner followed his previous line of sight and glanced outside the fine gold mesh, with a hint of regret in his tone, "Miss Cassia, maybe you have other things to do today." Then, his tone changed and suddenly became cheerful: "But this is just fine." Chapter 1 Hey, Friend () "Lord Turner?" Li Yin raised his head and looked at him in confusion. He also agreed with Turner's statement. At this point in time, Cassia's messenger had not appeared yet. According to past practice, it meant that they would most likely not show up. But... "This is just right" - what does that mean? Why does it feel like... gloating? Li Yin tried hard to hide his displeasure and just gave him a puzzled look. "Oh," Turner smiled to ease the embarrassment, "Please don't mind, I didn't mean anything else." He paused, and under Li Yin's puzzled gaze, he continued: "Li Yin—that's your name, right?" Li Yin nodded, and the dark elf instructor continued: "I can see that our current training is not suitable for you." "You are much smarter than all the other guys here combined. You have already mastered all the content we practiced today." "Sir, you flatter me." Li Yin didn't expect him to think so highly of him, and he bowed and responded quickly, "What you are teaching now is the foundation of the foundation. I think these trainings will never be outdated, and we should never slack off on basic training. This is true for any industry. Only when the foundation is solid enough can we go further in the future." Turner was slightly stunned. "I didn't expect you to have such an understanding," he said with more joy after a while, "This is good. This further proves that you are different from other slaves. Miss Cassia's vision is indeed unique." "However, although basic training is indeed very important," he said, his voice changing, very serious and sincere, "I also think that you have reached a level where you can receive some advanced training." "Sir..." Li Yin understood what he said, and his eyes immediately showed excitement. "These trainings were originally only for our dark elf warriors." Turner nodded in appreciation when he saw Rein's quick response. "You know, the Borgia family doesn't have high expectations for slaves. Even for specially selected warriors like you, the mistress and generals only plan to give you some basic military qualities." Li Yin nodded. What Turner said was true. On the one hand, the proud dark elves looked down on their slave race. On the other hand, most of the slaves they used as combat slaves were creatures with brute force but lacked brain power. The advantage of these creatures was that they were easy to drive, but the disadvantage was that they were not very good at accepting complex commands and understanding profound content. Li Yin had discovered from his secret observations during the training that after so many days of basic training given to them by the dark elf instructors such as Turner, less than half of the slaves were still able to fully follow the instructions.

"However, I am the instructor of the entire unit after all." Turner changed his accent and continued, "So I have to take into account the learning progress of most slaves. During the day, I can only follow the established training plan. I hope you can understand this." Li Yin nodded repeatedly, and pretended to be terrified, "Master Turner, you are too kind. I am grateful that you think so highly of me. How can I disrupt your work process just because of me?" At the same time, he was filled with surprise. This dark elf named Turner was incredibly polite to him.
