Chapter 125: The Lazy Nobles Are Going to Be Hanged and Beaten

After going out for a walk, Lolth discovered that this group of Superoperators had fully blended in.

In the fields, they were sweating and joking with the villagers, while the elves explained the growing habits of the crops and the preferences of unusual livestock. Meanwhile, the human Superoperators used magic and their own strength to help the villagers move heavy things. Under the villagers’ guidance, they unloaded materials from the Lemure transport team and put them in the warehouse. Several dwarves were tinkering with enchanted farming tools alongside Maider, studying the principles of their simple farming gadgets.

Even the few sad nobles pointed out by Tina worked with grim faces and did not plan to slack off.

Since they left Palgauro City last night, they arrived exactly at noon, and even some villagers, human Superoperators, dwarves, and elves went together to the newly built canteen for a meal!

This looked like a paradise where racial barriers had vanished!

Those people didn’t seem like they had just arrived a few days ago; in fact, if it weren’t for their extraordinary powers and racial differences, Lolth wouldn’t be able to tell who the residents of Hillenbrand Town were.

Just by looking at their expressions and demeanor, one might believe that the defeated group were the local residents.

As for why they didn’t even bring anti-magic shackles and were not thinking about escaping, but instead humbly worked here, they already looked as if they had integrated and were happily mingling with the villagers.

After interviewing a few villagers, Lolth found the answer.

"Thanks to Master Maider and Master Tina!"

"At first, the group started arguing among themselves, with the long-eared elves and humans splitting into two sides…"

"In the end, most of the elves decided to follow Master Tina’s instructions!"

"The humans who wanted to resist were convinced by Master Tina—"

"The dwarfs were immediately attracted by the farming tools and buildings designed by Master Lolth and praised them nonstop."

"Those little guys are quite nice; they helped everyone a lot from the very beginning."

"Oh, and at first, Master Tina said they could try to run away. It seemed like someone really wanted to escape the first night, but somehow they all came back!"

"Then they believed Master Tina’s words, crying and wailing for a few days, saying things like ‘Have I really fallen?’…"

"Many people told us that the lord was evil, and we started arguing with them—saying they were just repeating noble lies!"

"After that, they looked at the laws, and after spending a few days with us, although some still stubbornly refused to change, most people realized that the lord is a good person!"

"Of course, those who worked well received rewards, and those who dared to be lazy or even cause trouble were harshly taught a lesson by Master Tina. After that, no one dared to disobey!"

"Yes, there was a nobleman who was tied up by vines and hung up to be whipped. He was beaten very badly!"

Amid the chatter of the residents’ replies, and combining what Tina had just said, Lolth roughly figured out what had happened.

This group of defeated soldiers, by chance, came here and were captured by Tina. Because they had their Tokens, Tina mistakenly thought they were sent to help with the shortage of people in Hillenbrand Town.

After that, Tina divided them and put them to work.

Somehow, these fellows, like Tina, came to believe the fact that they had "fallen" and reluctantly began to work.

During the work process, the elves changed their deeply held biased views quickly due to Tina’s presence and because the human commoners saw real benefits.

The dwarf craftsmen, because of their slightly advanced architectural designs and tool-making, were amazed by themselves, and under Maider’s leadership, they quickly connected with the people.

The remaining human nobles still could not accept this fact, but they mostly surrendered to Tina’s strength—after all, facing the Epic High Level against this group of exceptionally talented individuals, it truly was overwhelming and dominating.

And… it sounds like the methods are quite ruthless!

After Lolth understood the situation, she took a moment to think.

In the end, she decided to maintain the status quo.

Although it always felt filled with various misunderstandings and deviations, from the final result, Hillenbrand Town had gained quite a few mid-to-high-level talents, and these defeated soldiers no longer needed to flee everywhere…

It seemed to be good for everyone.

Naturally, Lolth, who was already keen on slacking off, would not spend her energy trying to change something that was good for everyone.

It was like a piece of code that was already running; there was no need to unnecessarily modify what seemed like bugs within it.

Anyway, the larger organism of Hillenbrand Town was still functioning normally, and it was getting better and better, so why not be happy about it?

But these guys are currently living in the farmer’s market in the Southern New Development Zone, which is definitely not acceptable.

Along with City Hall, they must move out for sure.

We need to find a place to settle these new residents.

And these guys are also talents that can be used for more complex facility construction.

I originally thought that the second phase of the project would need to wait for training the Hillenbrand Town residents in various skills, but now it seems we don’t have to wait.

Whether from the perspective of necessity or feasibility, it is essential to start and carry out the second phase of the construction project!

In a way, this group of people does seem like they were arranged by themselves!

"However, with more than eighty additional Superoperators, the original plan will definitely need some changes."

For the second-phase construction plan, Lolth intends to focus on building many city public facilities.

First, we need to lay down pipes, repair the roads, and add nighttime road lights. After that, we will build the City Hall, schools, and hospitals.

Now it seems that the size of these facilities needs to double. The police station, which did not seem necessary before, can also be built with the arrival of these Superoperators.

They will also need new living areas and dining halls.

So, Lolth thinks it is time to establish a new development area.

Putting all of these things in the south is still too crowded, and the farming area should look like a farming area!

A new development area.

Lolth is thinking about where in Hillenbrand Town there is enough space to accommodate more than eighty Superoperators while also being suitable for building places like the City Hall, schools, and hospitals.

Soon, Lolth realized that there seemed to be a very suitable place.

She looked across the river at the flat and open forest land on the west bank of the Larech River’s tributary.

Because the existence of the Larech River’s tributary and monsters has not been developed, this is not a hindrance for Lolth.

"It looks like we need to build a few bridges first… and we should also move the magic circle a bit to the west."
