Chapter 21 (1/2)

As the number of occupants in the village continued to increase, the farmland’s construction progressed very quickly.

It took less than a week to complete the remaining construction.

Because Mortimer’s family were all farmers, he knew a lot about farming and breeding.

After he found out about this detail, Joshua immediately took over the position of chief of the public office from him.

He arranged for Mortimer to help the female demi-humans in farming and the breeding of animals, teaching them how to tend to their crops and raise poultry.

Although he took over the position of public office chief, there was not much to do.

Since he was a young boy, Mortimer had already been trained to be an exceptional public servant.

This made it very easy for Joshua. All he needed to do was to stamp his seal and confirm the necessary representative matters.

Before noon, Joshua had already finished all matters in the public office.

At this time, Georgi Fox had already been waiting at the public office’s entrance for a long time because his main responsibility was to protect Joshua’s safety.

He no longer needed to interfere in the village’s patrol and guard matters. The nine demi-humans would be on duty according to their schedule.

It was only when there was a war or nearby chaos like what had happened in the jungle that he would be utilized in these situations.

“Georgi, it’s been a long time. How have you been recently?”

Georgi was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Joshua would ask him this question.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, “Everything’s been good! Recently, because there are tribe leaders who take turns on duty in the village, I don’t need to assist them anymore! So from today onward, I’ll be responsible for your safety!”

Hearing this, Joshua could not help but think about what Georgi had done recently and said, “It’s been hard on you during this period of time. Now that the village is so safe, why don’t you give yourself a vacation?”

Even if Joshua said so, there was no place to go in this wilderness.

Therefore, Georgi shook his head and said, “It seems calm now, but there is always danger lurking at every corner! For the sake of safety, it’s better for me to protect you at your side. If something happens to you, I’m not facing your father, but everyone in this village.”

Although Georgi’s words were very unpleasant, it made Joshua realize his own importance!

After all, this area was built by him. If anything happened to him at this time, the people here would definitely be in chaos.

Therefore, Joshua did not blame him for his words and let him follow behind him.

After patrolling around the village, Joshua found that the new villagers had gradually gotten used to life here.

Moreover, the different races of demi-humans had all become good friends with each other, and even more hostile races had gradually become friendly with each other.

“Georgi, what do you think we still lack?”

Joshua’s original goal was to build houses that everyone could live in but under the system’s inference, that did not seem to be an optimal goal so he was currently a little confused.

Hearing what Joshua said, Georgi thought for a moment and answered seriously, “Now the village has basically reached a standard similar to other villages in the Empire. However, it lacks all sorts of different entertainment outlets like pubs and all.”

“Pubs! It’s not difficult to make wine, it’s something that can be done at this stage!”

Hearing this, Georgi’s brows relaxed a lot.

Seeing Georgi’s expression change, Joshua couldn’t help but tease him. “Although it’s not very difficult, it’s not that simple either!”
