Chapter 285: The Banquet Has Begun!
Tina and Isabella were fine because they knew Lolth very well and understood that she wouldn’t actually use these things in war.
And the two girls had lived in Hillenbrand Town for almost a quarter, which had already worn down their "fighting spirit," making them just like Lolth, indifferent about who would take over the entire continent.
Tina’s thoughts are very simple; she only wants to be an important person to Lolth and do everything related to her work well in Hillenbrand Town.
Even Isabella now feels that, whether it’s Ryman or Schwarzwald, although she still has a sense of belonging, she no longer wants to play the role of the leader of the Northman Knight Order.
Just like the feelings of the Superoperators who participated in the fireworks show for the Holy Alliance before…
In this small town, using one’s strength on these seemingly "meaningless" things is actually much more meaningful.
However, most Superoperators of the Holy Alliance still can’t help but think in some habitual ways.
That is… what "strategic significance" do these two things really have?
For a force like the Abyssal Demon King’s army, which starts at the formal level and is Elite Level for each person, the benefits are still limited.
In any force on the main plane, even if we count the number of Superoperators as apprentice level, the ratio to "commoners" is ten to one.
Even among elves, who are born with some magical power and live a long time, about 70% of their people are "ordinary elves" who have never properly learned extraordinary powers!
Based on this point, the guess about "the application in warfare" seems quite "terrifying" in every way.
However, all they can do is pray that this thing will not be used by the Demon Army.
Compared to these Superoperators, most civilians do not think so much; in fact, many people do not understand the principles and functions of those things at all.
Since Lord Lolth promised that these two things would bring new inventions that would benefit everyone, the residents naturally unconditionally trusted Lolth, who never makes empty promises!
As Lolth turned the firework and light show into a presentation, she looked at the positive reactions from the civilians below and nodded in satisfaction.
The great idea of using a celebration for "promotion" was not just intended for promoting the school.
The focus of the third project’s construction and these two inventions that could change the era also needed to be well-promoted at this opportunity.
After all, Lolth was not unaware that many things capable of driving change often face resistance from stubborn beliefs.
Especially in such a social context, Lolth was quite worried about what to do if the factory could not find workers to start operations…
But now it seems that I have underestimated my influence in Hillenbrand Town and the current residents’ willingness to embrace new things.
It’s worth thinking about; in fact, most of the resistance to new technology comes from the twisted propaganda and slander by those who benefit from the old ways.
The landlords opposed the establishment of factories because they were worried that there would be no one to work as laborers.
Capitalists are desperate to suppress new technology because they fear it will make their products obsolete.
This is the way history moves.
But in Hillenbrand Town… I make the rules!
There is no opportunity for others to meddle in the promotion at all.
The so-called "beneficiaries" and superior nobles do not exist in Hillenbrand Town.
The prisoners of the Holy Alliance have already been transformed, so where could there be any resistance?
At this moment, Lolth fully experienced the benefits of "a small world with few troubles."
As for spreading these new technologies across the entire continent for everyone to enjoy… Lolth did not have such grand ambitions.
For her, it was enough that she and those around her were comfortable, doing what she could.
She certainly did not plan to put herself on the stake just to ensure that everyone in the main plane could watch television…
After all, the course of history is always upward, and there is no need for her to leap the entire continent into a great harmony—such thoughts are quite arrogant.
Even things that gods cannot do, Lolth did not believe she had the ability to accomplish.
Moreover, there’s the "End of Days" hanging over her head…
"In short, the ‘launch event’ went smoothly," Lolth looked at the bustling crowd below, the atmosphere of the whole celebration seemed to reach its peak, and she took out her magic communication device, starting to contact her two disciples, "Kanor, Dorothy, are you ready for tonight’s ‘main event’?"
The magic communication device lit up, and the voices of Kanor and Dorothy came through.
"It’s ready! Master Lolth!"
"Always ready, teacher!"
The voices of the two little girls were also excited, clearly influenced by the atmosphere and Lolth’s earlier performance.
At the same time, Lolth sensed the nervousness and uncertainty behind the two girls’ excited tones.
After all… the atmosphere was indeed too intense right now, putting pressure on them to "meet everyone’s expectations."
"Relax, don’t be too nervous; you need to enjoy this moment," Lolth encouraged the two little girls, "Whether as a chef or a Superoperator, you must enjoy the ‘results’ and the ‘process’ to go further!"
As Lolth spoke, the two little girls felt much more at ease on the magic communication device.
"Got it, Master Lolth."
The two of them nodded in agreement.
As Lolth watched the lights brighten again, everyone’s faces were filled with joy and excitement. The thrill slowly calmed but did not fade, and she spoke again.
"Alright, you two get ready…"
After saying this, Lolth, who had come back down to the ground, raised the microphone and stood beside the statue in the center of Hillenbrand Town City Hall Square.
"So, dear residents of Hillenbrand Town—let’s begin the most anticipated part of this celebration, which is the ‘feast,’ a highlight and an essential part of every celebration I host!"
As Lolth’s voice faded, Kanor and Dorothy, who had been hiding earlier, drove two lines of food carts into the square from the left and right sides!
At the front of the food carts were two medium-sized "wild boar magical beasts" that Dorothy had pulled from the dense forest. They huffed and puffed as they slowly entered the square!
Meanwhile, Dorothy and Kanor sat on the backs of the two boars, dressed in chef and assistant chef uniforms!
