Chapter 70: Lolth Noticed Something Was Wrong

Lolth did not realize how effective her enchanting tools and materials were, and the high efficiency of her work was partly her own doing.

As a spellcaster, she didn’t use tools much when constructing the torture tower, and lightweight enchantments on materials didn’t really affect her spellcasting ability to transport materials.

These enchanting tools and materials were just something she created out of boredom, like a middle-aged woman knitting at work in the Interrogation Department.

And she learned about "enchantment" from books, then figured out how to do it herself.

She had no idea about the standard of the Ten-level Enchantment Evaluation widely used on the mainland.

Anyway, Lolth thought to herself, maybe just one or two levels, as they were just casually done.

Little did she know, the hammers, hoes, and shovels she gave to the farmers were almost as effective as the diamond tools of an advanced player in MC survival.

Of course, the subjective initiative of the laboring people in Hillenbrand played a significant role.

But ultimately, with their enthusiasm so high and their minds so sharp…

The main reason was that everyone was thinking about the extra rewards that come with high efficiency!

The generous behavior of the lord had already deeply influenced everyone in just these two short days!

The extra rewards she mentioned would definitely not be just a few copper coins or something trivial like that.

What a joke! The lord always pays in silver coins, not copper ones!

Everything is paid with silver coins!

Of course, these simple residents never imagined that the "extra" rewards prepared by Lolth were not actually money!

They were something more attractive and useful than money!

However, Lolth wasn’t planning to reveal it just yet.

Since everyone seemed so enthusiastic already, pushing further might lead to overdoing it.

Looking at the orderly and progressing construction work, Lolth suddenly realized something.

"It seems like… I can slack off again?"

Saying that, Lolth rubbed her chin and looked at Maider, the most efficient one in the crowd.

She recognized the man from the tavern that night as the drunken uncle, but he didn’t seem to recognize her.

Lolth noticed that this blacksmith works faster and more efficiently than others!

He only glanced at the instruction manual and seemed to understand what to do. Unlike the other workers, he quickly grasped the new building structures’ functions and purposes on this continent.

Most importantly, Lolth could sense that he wasn’t giving his all!

He manages to strike a balance between work and relaxation without compromising productivity… This kind of talent is exactly what Lolth and the Interrogation Department need!

So, Lolth walked straight over and stood behind Maider before speaking up.

"It seems like you’re not just a blacksmith; you have a good understanding of architecture too."

"Oh, it’s just that I’ve had some experience with… um?"

Maider, who was still manually pounding stakes, initially thought a coworker was talking to him, but soon realized that something was off about the voice.

When he turned around, he saw Lolth smiling behind him.

"These tools and materials are very nice, aren’t they?"

Lolth said with a smile.

Maider suddenly became nervous.

Just as the landlady said, the demon race had already seen through her "disguise"!

"Of course," Maider said cautiously, feeling unsure about what Lolth was up to, "I wonder why the lord is looking for me?"

"Oh, I just feel it’s a bit of a waste for talents like you," Lolth said, waving her hand, "I happen to have some things to do – how about you guide these people for me, manage the upcoming work, shall we? I’ll double the reward for you too!"

Maider was surprised to hear Lolth’s words.

Sure enough, the landlady guessed right again…

The demon race really wants to recruit me!

Although Abyssal Demon doesn’t seem as cruel and ruthless as rumored these days, but…

Uncle Maider still doesn’t plan to work for a demon race!

Even though he’s now stranded in a remote town like Hillenbrand, he still has his own beliefs and pride.

But now that things have come to this, he can’t refuse.

The succubus only asked him to "help guide other residents."

He seems to have no reason to refuse!

After some thought and hesitation, Maider finally agreed.

"Alright, I’m happy to help."

Lolth was actually more satisfied with this unwilling look.

Even reluctant to take on the job, hesitating, not dazzled by double pay.

Sure enough, this guy is on the same page as myself!

Must be reused!

"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Uncle Maider," Lolth kindly raised her thumb at him, "Make sure everyone balances work and rest, if you need anything, come directly to the torture tower to find me!"

Saying so, Lolth once again pulled out the white trumpet No.2 from her pants.

"Attention, Team Five! Attention, Team Five! Because the Lord has to leave for a while, Maider will be appointed as the temporary team leader of Team Five! Everyone please follow Maider’s command and arrangement, if you have any questions, you can ask him!"

After Lolth finished speaking, many members of Team Five also looked up and turned to Maider.

But no one showed any discontent.

"It’s Uncle Maider!"

"Maider truly lives up to his name, strong and kind-hearted. Even the lord values him so highly!"

"Maider, you are truly lucky, you must treat us to a drink to celebrate!"

"I knew Maider would succeed one day!"

Clearly, Maider is very popular.

In this remote town, the blacksmith often uses his hidden identity as a Superoperator to help his neighbors with small troubles.

Although to everyone else, the blacksmith Maider appears to be just strong and hardworking, no one realizes he is actually a powerful Superoperator.

But the help he provides is real, so everyone respects and loves Maider dearly.

Many even plan to marry their daughters or sisters to this blacksmith.

Unfortunately, Maider himself rejected everything.

However, this made everyone respect Maider even more!

So Lolth’s choice, in a way, was the best choice!

However, Lolth, who left the Southern New Development Zone, did not immediately return to the torture tower.

Instead, she arrived at Hillenbrand Town.
