Chapter 117: Amy’s Time to Shine
At the base entrance.
The sound of horses neighing and people shouting filled the air.
A group of merchants was busy unloading crates from their wagons, working up a sweat.
Nearby, a steward was loudly reminding them, "Be careful, handle it gently! These are valuable goods. If you break anything, your salary for a whole month won't cover it!"
Among the crowd were over a dozen burly individuals with prominent beastly features and thick body hair, each easily carrying a heavy crate, looking relaxed.
Mu Zhuo observed from a distance, nodding to himself.
It seemed that accepting these beastmen was a wise decision. They served as both guards and laborers, working hard without complaint. One salary could hire the equivalent of two or three human workers, making it very cost-effective.
After the Beastmen Calamity, beastmen found it impossible to stay in the Starlight Duchy, facing hatred and expulsion wherever they went.
Thus, beastmen began migrating to neighboring countries.
Many settled in the Thornflower Duchy.
Thanks to Ota's plea, Mu Zhuo decided to take in a group of beastmen, causing some controversy within the merchant guild at the time, but it turned out to be the right choice.
