Chapter 76: A Knight? a Big Eater!

Over the next week, everything in Hillenbrand Town proceeded in an orderly manner.

Whether it was the construction in the Southern New Development Zone or cooking lessons in the kitchen, everything went smoothly.

Under the illusion of "I’m really skilled at teaching," Lolth successfully taught Kanor a variety of recipes from different regions such as doughnuts, dumplings, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches, sushi, fried chicken, clams, noodles, skewers, and spicy hot pot with barbecue and stinky tofu.

Kanor managed to pass on most of these recipes to the ladies.

She gradually began to understand the essence of Earth cuisine, becoming more versatile, and even creating new dishes based on ingredients, seasonings, and cooking methods she had never seen before.

With the daily variety of delicious food, construction in the Southern New Development Zone progressed rapidly and entered the final stages.

As the leader, Lolth naturally prepared for a new round of construction.

However, she had already used up more than half of the building materials she had saved.

Nowadays, Lolth’s richest resources are Abyssal Crystals and the common currency of the continent.

"It’s time to go shopping."

After some thought, Lolth reached a simple conclusion.

She had always intended to go out and explore.

With the remnants in the west nearly subdued, there wouldn’t be much danger in going out.

She decided to visit a few big cities, buy some building materials, and also check on her acquaintances from Shelldor – after all, she had a good relationship with those demon race’s legionnaire leader.

However, going for the purchases wasn’t going to be that simple.

After all, she was the lord of the town and needed to handle the handover of work properly.

While I am away from Hillenbrand Town, things mustn’t go wrong!

And, shopping is not like a vacation… even though Lolth can move a lot of building materials using spatial magic, she still feels it’s better to bring some helpers along.

After thinking for a moment, Lolth quickly made a plan and first went to the Moon Elf interrogation room.

Tina, who had been busy all day at the construction site in the Southern New Development Zone, was eating a packed fruit and vegetable salad and fried chicken from the temporary cafeteria, while also assessing today’s work progress and calculating the progress of each team.

"Ahem."

After Lolth cleared her throat, the focused Tina finally looked up and, upon seeing Lolth, quickly set aside her fried chicken and stood up.

"Master Lolth… I’m sorry, I didn’t notice your arrival! Please punish me!"

Tina excitedly bowed.

Lolth was quite used to Tina’s reaction and just gestured for her to sit down, saying, "I’ve told you many times, it’s important to balance work and rest – but, you’re doing a good job with managing."

"Serving Master Lolth is my honor."

Tina said again.

"Well, I really need your help… These days, I plan to go out to some big cities in the west to buy materials for future development. So, I’ll leave the finishing work of Phase 1 of the Southern New Development Zone to you," Lolth said, handing a plan to Tina, "If the development is completed before I come back, you can also handle the ‘contract’ thing I mentioned before… Anyway, you’ve been doing the assessment work!"

"Understood, Master Lolth," Tina said respectfully, "I will do my best to complete the work."

"Not only the Southern New Development Zone, please take care of any matters in the town. This time I plan to take Isabella out, after all, she is strong," Lolth thought for a moment and added, "But don’t shoulder all the burden alone, pick some clever and reliable people to help you, like Maider, a good choice."

"Alright, I will choose loyal and trustworthy residents for Master Lolth," Tina elevated Lolth’s words, sounding enthusiastic, "Creating competition among the residents, showing them the benefits of loyalty to Master Lolth, will naturally lead to more loyalty!"

"No, that’s not what I meant at all," Lolth stood up, sighed, "I just don’t want you to tire yourself out… Forget it, as long as you’re happy."

With that, Lolth left the Moon Elf interrogation room.

Tina stood still, feeling somewhat dazed by Lolth’s words just now.

After a while, the elf felt her face getting slightly warm.

"Master Lolth…cares about me?"

A small smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"No, it’s just because I still have some use! How could Master Lolth have feelings for a humble, lowly prisoner like me?"

Tina tried to convince herself, but the smile on her face and the joy in her heart couldn’t be hidden.

She must be happy because she had gained Master Lolth’s favor!

"To trust the whole town to me, it shows that Master Lolth values my loyalty and hard work!"

"I must work even harder…but since Master Lolth reminded me to balance work and rest, I should take care of myself too – after all, my body belongs to Master Lolth!"

Thinking this way, Tina started eating her salad again.

However, besides feeling happy, Tina also had some different emotions inside.

"Why is Isabella the one going out with Master Lolth…"

But this small emotion was quickly forgotten by Tina.

After all, that knight had no loyalty and wholehearted devotion to Master Lolth, Master Lolth just considered her as a rather interesting plaything!

The other party was absolutely no match!

Even if being treated as a plaything, the other party’s figure was no match to her own!

Tina thought to herself with great confidence.

Meanwhile, at the Ryman interrogation room, Lolth saw Isabella as well.

After she pushed open the door and entered, Isabella was also eating takeout food – she had almost realized that she seemed unable to stop the succubus’s food trend.

After the construction of this phase is completed, the magical crops and livestock will probably be raised and planted on a large scale.

I tried to persuade those people before, but they ended up becoming hostile towards me instead.

"You really are up to no good, Miss Noble!"

"That’s it, the lord will probably put you in shackles!"

"Hmph, even Master Tina warned me to be wary of you!"

Isabella, feeling helpless, had no choice but to eat more in the cafeteria every day to reduce the residents’ food intake.

Today she packed five boxed meals.

The one she’s eating now is a new item launched today.

Kanor tried combining fried chicken, rice, and sauce, surprisingly creating a dish similar to crispy chicken with rice.

Of course, Kanor wanted Lolth to believe that it was the innovation of those aunties who kept Lolth in the dark.

Unlike Tina, Isabella noticed Lolth the moment she walked in the door.
