Chapter 126: Lolth’s Work

A few days later, Lolth posted a new job advertisement on the bulletin board and also informed the eighty-eight former Superoperators of the Holy Alliance through Tina and Maider about the upcoming construction tasks.

"Important notice about the new Western New Development Zone construction project on the west bank of the Larech River tributary."

Just a few minutes after the announcement was posted, the residents of Hillenbrand Town surrounded the bulletin board, eagerly sharing the news.

With the great success of the previous project, along with the new high-skilled workers and technical talents, Lolth remains confident for the second phase of the project, even though it is mostly more complex and the workload has doubled.

And just as Lolth expected, the enthusiasm for construction is very high among both the residents of Hillenbrand Town and the eighty-eight captured Superoperators.

After all, for the residents, the new phase of the project means new coins and job opportunities. The benefits of the Southern New Development Zone project are clear to see both during and after construction.

Most of the captured Superoperators understood well from the announcement that this so-called "Western New Development Zone" includes projects for their own homes!

Many of them, like Rayleigh, voluntarily joined the Holy Alliance and held noble ideals and spirits.

However, after experiencing a series of defeats in war, fleeing everywhere, and finally being captured by the demon race, this group of people was greatly shaken. Seeing the peaceful life in Hillenbrand Town made them question the belief that "the demon race is evil," naturally leading them to wonder, "What was I fighting for earlier?"

At this time, they needed new support for their hearts and souls.

That is why many humans, dwarves, and elves chose to actively participate in the work in the southern new area of Hillenbrand Town, helping the residents with their tasks.

More importantly, they were looking for new ways to realize their own value!

So when they learned that they could help build schools, hospitals, and a City Hall, and understood the roles of these institutions, these ambitious people became very excited.

The elves were especially jubilant.

"I knew Master Tina wasn’t ‘fallen’; she must have realized that this succubus is a good person to do this!"

"That’s right, at first, Master Tina was just aware that our prejudices were too deep, and we needed to experience it ourselves to understand."

"Master Froer, did you see? Our beloved Moon Elf princess has finally grown up!"

Superoperators from common human backgrounds were naturally more excited; for them, this succubus was undoubtedly kinder and more generous than any noble lord they had ever met!

Even those from noble backgrounds couldn’t help but wonder.

"Could it be… that Abyssal Demons really are not a group of evil and cruel beings?"

The leader of this group, Rayleigh Collin, had a mindset that was different from other nobles, more similar to that of an elf.

"Master Isabella truly has not fallen!"

If this succubus is kind, then serving her cannot be seen as falling—whether it is considered "betrayal" is up for discussion.

As for the dwarves… their thoughts were more straightforward.

"Wow, this bridge design is truly something I’ve never seen before! It could probably hold heavy artillery and siege machines!"

"Not only that, but look… these structures seem to resist wind and waves—using this kind of bridge on this river seems like overkill!"

"Wait, look at these building plans. Lord Lolth wants to build a multi-story building that is over thirty meters high, and… except for the materials, which may be magical, she is not using any extraordinary powers to support the main structure!"

"Is this… really possible? It’s even crazier than the legendary Tower of Babel!"

"I also don’t quite understand the tools we were commissioned to create—they are all so complex, and they are powered by magic…"

"Master Lolth is even more impressive than the blessings of the craftsman and the god of forging—by the way, I don’t think the god of forging said that blessings would necessarily choose a dwarf, right?"

"Are you saying that our blessing is not only not a dwarf but also an abyssal creature…? Well, that’s a crazy thought, but I can’t argue against it!"

"She even invented that exquisite drink called beer—damn, if this succubus isn’t a demon race, I would definitely want to crown her as the Dwarf King!"

The dwarves were discussing excitedly, and Lolth joined in, feeling even more inspired. She even created designs for her ideas of a magical pile driver, crane, simple chainsaw, and so on.

Although this world does not have a developed industrial system, with the persistence of extraordinary powers, every dwarf master craftsman can be seen as a small lathe or even a factory assembly line.

These fellows can create heavy artillery capable of inflicting legendary injuries with just a hammer and a chisel!

Unfortunately, the dwarves’ technological progress is a bit uneven; after all, in this land full of extraordinary powers, diverse races, and constant warfare, technologies related to war tend to develop more quickly than those in other fields.

However, advancements in war technology also drive the development of civilian technology. Just like many household appliances and even the internet, which changed the world, their core technologies were originally created to tackle war.

Although these dwarf craftsmen are best at making weapons, armor, artillery, siege engines, and fortresses, their accumulated skills allow them to recognize the brilliance in Lolth’s designs for bridges and houses.

The simple "magic machines" have left these dwarves amazed and impressed.

The second phase of the Hillenbrand Town project and the construction of the Western New Development Zone began with almost no resistance.

Even thanks to the leadership of Tina and Maider, along with the experience from the first phase, the residents of Hillenbrand Town have already adapted to this model, and this time Lolth doesn’t even need to be present for guidance. The initial preparations are progressing smoothly.

The gathering of materials, the division of construction teams, the distribution of tools… The residents of Hillenbrand Town and the Superoperators are working in their respective roles. Under Tina’s command, they are steadily working in the new area formed by Lolth moving the Space Magic Array, along both banks of the Larech River’s tributary.

The agricultural area in the south has become stable, and with more raw materials available, Lolth has gained more time and energy to explore delicious food!

Now, the only thing she needs to do herself is to teach Kanor about her amazing powers and cooking skills every day!
