Illegal magic exploitation—Billy 87d4f60f85 had only heard 2c201d9aba about it before, 4fdc55762d but seeing it 355a539e6b in person immediately ea6819a3cc made him uncomfortable.

The process was f92dc71584 simple: slave traders ce524843ee used mages to b540122198 detect beastmen with 026590126b magical powers. These captives 8f554a4199 were then 9e806e980b brought to 8592c1a152 the estate, 4b7f778517 where they ea74a34d7b were brainwashed ed56db5551 into performing f74407e129 endless labor.
