Chapter 344: Evolved Ogre (1/2)
”There are tasks that I need of you all.” Arthur stood up from his chair after he assigned the role of each person. ”Everyone should finish this task in two days.”
”As you wish, Seika!” Ma nodded and began to jot down notes. Arthur felt like a teacher for a second.
”Ma, I want you to create a plan for our marketing campaign. Make sure to choose the best method to portray us as an inexpensive trading hub. Reach out to nearby cities and take approval to create a ship's route.”
”Yes!”
”Gruen, create the smithy and create a report of how many items you can produce in a month. I want us to be ready for the auction house in two weeks.”
”Who is going to run the auction house?” Gruen nodded and asked.
”I think you have someone for that, someone you just hired.” Arthur smiled, and Gruen's face turned joyful.
”What about me, Seika?” Gala asked while crossing her arms on the table.
”I want a list of the potions we can create with the materials we want and a separate list for potions you can create with rare materials that we don't have and a list for those missing materials.”
”Ah, sounds boring. I'll have my disciple write it down.” Gala sighed.
”As long as I have the lists in two days.” Arthur smiled and turned to Big Bear. ”After I'm done with clearing the monsters away, please create barriers and watchtowers around the city.”
”Aye,” Big Bear nodded.
”As for the Knight of Courage, please make a list of all personal we have, their professions, special skills, and even their dreams. I'll be interviewing them all in two days. Assign people for each department based on their expertise, but don't let them work before I meet them.”
”As you wish, Seika.”
”As for my first task, it'll be to clean up the place of monsters by tomorrow.” Arthur grinned. ”Rest for tonight. We'll be working hard the next morning.”
Everyone took their leave except for Gala, who seemed to have something on her mind. After everyone left, and only the two of them remained, Gala stood up and handed him something.
”What is this?” Arthur looked at the hand mirror with confusion. He could feel a rune inscribed on it, a telepathic rune.
”Nothing but a messaging device,” Gala said with a smile. ”I think I also forgot one in Dia's room. I'm not sure.” She bolted out before Arthur could reply.
After watching her run away with amusement, Arthur turned to the mirror he was holding. As he injected mana, the runes activated to record his face and voice.
”Hey,” Arthur said awkwardly. ”Gala gave him this item, and I think it records messages? I don't know what to say since I saw you a couple of days before.”
He tried to think of something to say before choosing the perfect topic. Then, coughing with a grin, he proceeded to tell Dia about his day.
”Have you ever tried to stop a meteor?”

As the chilly morning breeze made its way down the valley, Arthur was awake already. He stretched his body that hasn't fought in a while and prepared himself.
