Chapter 105 (2/2)

My comrades and me gathered at the command room of the main tower.

Well I can’t always call them comrades as a whole, the main members are Sedam, Irudo, Claura, Leiha, Gilg and Lade, recently joined are Elisabel and Diane, together the team comes to 8 people.

[Well then, first Sedam, for protecting the castle in my absence, you have my thanks]

[Yeah... It really was a troublesome job]

To be honest, I was really worried about the castle management, I even lost some weight.

And yet, in my absence he didn’t make any trouble inside the castle, furthermore, he even took care of subjugating dark beast and bandits, such a considerable effort.

Last night the two of us were drinking and thanking and singly complaining to each other. But in this manner his work was being officially recognized, not to mention it’s something I must do as the lord of the castle.

[Regarding the expansion of the castle, as you can see it’s about 60% completed, only the barracks, the lodging houses and the warehouses remains to be build inside the castle]

[What about the main road?]

[The roads connecting the three villages are already completed. For the trade route to Battleaxe town, the giants already opened up the designated s.p.a.ce for the road. Valdo and the others were once again fired up by the giants I summoned today]

[The time to finish the first project was suppose to be 1 year...]

[About that, the Valdo clan sent more of workers. Currently there’s 200 workers from the dwarves, and about 500 persons from the neiborhing villages and from Lelis city]

I was surprised by the number of people Irudo brought.

They all were working on the outer wall.

[They are really motivated huh?, are there no problems with their food of wages?]

[I already hired someone in charge of cooking, so there’s no much I can help with in that regard, about the money...]

[For the dwarves and the workers daily pay and food expenses,  that’s roughly 500 gold coins per day. Then there’s the issue with the Schultz tribe and their living expenses and the maintenance cost for the castle...  That’s roughly another 1200 daily gold coins]

[No way... my head gonna explode!]

Gilg shrugged his shoulders at Irudo’s explanation.

I was in a similar mood as him, but I still have enough funds for my castle.

[How are the soldiers doing?]

[Oh they’re doing h.e.l.la fine. We actually fought small beasts and bandits, they’re racking up experience]

They are the 30 that volunteered to come to the castle.

Gilg seemed proud for training and commanding them.

[We are building as soon as possible the workshop for the smith sent from Battleaxe town, he’s called Gelbron from the Dove’s clan, he’s going to make the weapons for the soldiers and give them maintenance as well]

[good tha hear, plenty of folks are coming in ain’t it?]

Leaving aside the castle and the trade route, I’m really glad I went to Battleaxe town.

By the way, Baldo already finished the bath I asked for, I was out last night for drinking too much, but tonight I’m going to enjoy it.

[Ah! there’s one more thing to report, there’s a lot of folks who came to the castle who wants to work for you]

[Is that true? then what’s the problem?...]

[Nothing wrong with the soldiers and servants, but then there’s tha knights and bards. I had ‘em wait at Yule village, so you can decide for ya.r.s.elf]

[Good call... We should make an interview... I want to be extra careful with the people I allow in the castle]

[For the time being, we should have the dark elf sisters check their background as much as possible... in case there’s a possessed person]

[Yeah, in that case... I’ll use a spell to confirm the situation]

It’s not that the people gathering at the castle are bad.

But after seeing the “dark beast bugs” implanted on people’s brains, I just can’t easily trust strangers.

I’ll have to investigate the dwarves and workers one more time...

Somehow, every time I wake up there’s more and more things to do.

I really want Mora’s support right now.
