407 Flatten Their Moral High Ground Firs (2/2)
Roland, on the other hand, teleported himself back to Delpon and continued supervising the logging project.
After days of treatment, Vincent recovered. He dedicated himself to safety assurance and order maintenance again.
Because Andonara, a half-Legend, was with them, they didn't really have to worry about safety.
Besides, Christina could watch over the workers at the lumber camp during the night and ensure their safety.
Delpon had never been livelier.
In the day, a swarm of people would leave the city, enjoy the white bread, and cut the trees diligently.
At night, the same swarm of people would return with 150 grams of wheat.
The quota for an individual was not much, but every poor family usually had a few workers taking part in the business. As a result, not only could they keep themselves fed and save their own food, but they could also return with around one kilogram of wheat.
Though the income was not very much, the workers all felt hopeful and satisfied about the job.
As long as they could be fed, they could survive the winter however cold it might be.
They were genuinely grateful for the Magic Tower, which organized the project.
As a general manager who focused on the big picture, Roland didn't see the poor workers' gratitude directly except for the numerical changes, like when they turned from Neutral to Friendly.
But as for Andonara, Vincent, and the other magic apprentices in the front line, they had sensed it in person.
The workers were scared of them at first, but they were now looking at the supervisors with more admiration than fear.
Most people liked being treated positively, so the magic apprentices were even more hardworking.
Even Andonara and Vincent felt very comfortable in such an environment.
The workers spent another seven days on the job, cutting the last tree in the forest and shipping the timber away. The precious wood was moved to and stored in the Magic Tower's warehouse.
In the meantime, a lot of wild animals were hunted, and many plant magic materials were collected.
When Vivian calculated the worth of the timber and the magic materials, she discovered, to her surprise, that the stock was twice as valuable as their total budget.
Therefore, they didn't lose a dime but actually made a fortune, not to mention the reputation that they earned.
At the conclusion meeting of the Magic Tower, Vivian reported the result in disbelief.
Neither Roland nor Vincent seemed surprised.
Roland simply didn't care about the gains or losses. In his opinion, certain costs were necessary in order to realize his plan. He never considered a profit. Although he had made a hundred gold coins, it wasn't really important to him.
As for Vincent, he didn't even think that a hundred gold coins were money. As a rich kid, he donated millions of yuan to Silver Wings without asking for anything in return. That money was nothing for him.
Andonara, Christina, and Jerry, on the other hand, were as shocked as Vivian.
They had never thought that one could make a fortune by doing good deeds.
It was a great eye-opener for them.
Roland patted the table and said, ”We have to clear the land next. Like before, Andonara and Vincent will ensure the workers' safety and order under the help of the magic apprentices. Vincent and Jerry, you will investigate with the Black Sand Gang and find the real poor households and how many people each family has. Make a list. We'll distribute the land later according to the census.”
Everybody nodded and accepted the task.
Roland announced that the meeting was over. Then, a guard reported to him that a Priest wanted to meet him.
A Priest?
Roland realized that the reliable Priest that Hawk recommended was finally here.
He went down the Magic Tower with Andonara and saw a female player at the door. She was wearing chain armor, carrying a square shield, and holding a gigantic hammer. She looked very intimidating.
Reliable… Definitely reliable.
She was definitely a great helper in battles.
Andonara looked at her face and then her breasts. She then slightly nodded.
The female player was plain-looking… which meant that she didn't add any of her points to Charm.
That was highly unusual for female players.
Roland walked to her and asked, ”Are you Hawk's friend?”
”Yes, I'm a Priest from the Water God Church. I'm told that you are in dire need of a supporter and muscle, so I came here on foot happily.”
