Chapter 69: Are the Enchantments of the Abyss Free?

"I’m Johnson, the town’s stonemason. Master Lolth saw my skills and strength yesterday!"

"Alright, Johnson, go to the second team and collect your work clothes and tools from Tina."

"Hello, Master Lolth, I am Delamar, a farmer! I am good at farming and eating!"

"Very good, you go to the first team, here are your tools."

"Master Lolth, I am…"

One by one, the residents of Hillenbrand came up to Lolth’s small table, introducing themselves and stating their skills.

Lolth wrote down their names in the register and assigned them tasks.

After Lolth took out the second horn and promised everyone that there were plenty of job vacancies for all, the residents of Hillenbrand Town rushed forward, forming long lines.

Almost all the young men and women in this town came!

After all, it was the idle season in Vera Plain now, most crops had just been harvested, and many people were idle at home.

Even those running shops or other businesses, in this remote town, would not make more than twenty copper coins in a day, just enough to support their families.

So, the actual number of people who came was three to four times more than what Lolth had estimated!

Originally, the plan was to slowly build up those agricultural parks and facilities one by one, but with so many people now, Lolth decided to work on several projects simultaneously!

Currently, she plans to have five projects built in the first batch, so Lolth also divided the over one hundred people into five construction teams.

The first team is responsible for the grazing area near the southern mountains and part of the hillsides. The plan is to plant grass, construct fences, water tanks, and pens for raising different types of livestock such as cows, sheep, and other animals from this world. They will also establish two large-scale breeding factories to raise poultry such as chickens, ducks, and pigs.

The goal of the second team is to develop the largest farming area on the north side of the pasture. They will hire farmers to cultivate the land, dividing it into areas for growing crops like rice, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, as well as economic crops like rapeseed, peanuts, and sugarcane. Additionally, they will construct a greenhouse area for growing vegetables, fruits, and even some ornamental plants.

The third team will build orchards and forestry farms on the gentle slopes to the east and the foothills of the southern mountains. In addition to planting fruits and vegetables, they will also grow trees with economic purposes that can be used as building materials or fuel, similar to the crop areas.

The task of the fourth team is relatively easy. They will dig channels and build ponds to raise and operate aquaculture on a tributary of the Larech River on the west side. They will also use the water to irrigate the planting areas.

The last team has the largest number of people, and most of them have experience in construction. They are all assigned to this batch, with Lolth personally leading and guiding the construction.

The task of this team is to build the largest and most complex building in the entire first batch of construction projects, in the direction closest to Hillenbrand Town.

She wants to build a large three-story farmer’s market center!

The market’s building structure will be like a shopping mall!

On the first floor, they will sell locally produced agricultural and farm products, allowing the residents of Hillenbrand Town to have access to affordable and trustworthy food!

The second floor will sell seeds, fertilizers, feed, and farming tools. In the future, Lolth also plans to try replicating agricultural machinery and sell them here.

The third floor, which Lolth plans to keep private, will house the previous "laboratory" where she will conduct experiments and crossbreeding in a whole test field.

The five construction teams were quickly assigned. Under the guidance of Tina, Isabella, and Lolth, everyone started working based on detailed construction and planning drawings that even illiterate people could understand, drawn by Lolth.

Of course, the tasks assigned to the people didn’t involve much difficulty or technical knowledge. Moreover, in this remote town, almost every household built their own houses and tilled their own land, so they had rich experience.

Lolth herself will be responsible for the subsequent facilities in the greenhouse that maintain temperature and humidity, as well as the semi-automatic feed troughs and assembly line slaughter facilities in the breeding field.

She did consider delegating these tasks, but unfortunately, none of the personnel were Superoperators – let alone ordinary Superoperators who would need to start from scratch in learning about these things.

But in the Interrogation Department, Lolth slowly built an ecological chamber and indoor farming and animal husbandry facilities all by herself.

Anyway, this wasn’t her actual job, so she didn’t feel any psychological burden doing it!

And when she started working, Lolth was surprised to find…

The enthusiasm for work among the residents of Hillenbrand Town was even higher than she had imagined, and they all worked very efficiently!

Tina led the first and second teams in the construction of the farming and animal husbandry area, and within two hours of starting work, over thirty people had almost finished building the outer fences! They began laying roads, laying foundations for breeding facilities, building walls, and setting up greenhouses!

Of course, these residents were also very surprised by the "tools" and "materials" provided by Lolth.

"These hammers are so strong, yet they feel so light to swing!"

"These bricks just need to be stacked, and they stick together by themselves!"

"Such lightweight wood – the Lord is truly amazing!"

"This ladder is so convenient!"

The same thing also happened in the construction team led by Isabella and Lolth.

Even Lolth herself didn’t anticipate that everything would go so smoothly on the first day of work, it was almost unreal!

"It seems I underestimated the intelligence of the laborers from the other world!"

Initially, Lolth thought she would be running around guiding everyone on how to read blueprints and use tools.

Now it appears that the residents of Hillenbrand Town, though simple, are not foolish!

At the same time, Maider, who was mingling in the crowd, was deeply lost in thought.

Despite posing as the town blacksmith, he was currently digging soil and laying foundations with the fifth team.

"This Abyssal Demon feels like it has some serious illness, even the shovel seems to be enchanted with a seventh-level spell…"

"If an apprentice had an offensive enchantment, they could easily defeat an Elite Level monster with it."

"Is enchanting so undervalued in the abyss?"

"Also, why are they using obsidian and abyssal iron essence for the foundation’s structure, even though I understand it from the blueprints?"

"Is she worried about something underground?"

"And why are these stakes enchanted?"
