Chapter 325: The Materials Arrived

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lancelot inhaled deeply and opened the door to the room.

This was d.u.c.h.ess Lilo’s study, which he wasn’t looking forward to seeing. After observing the rows of bookshelves and the variety of books, Lancelot was a little surprised.

In the middle of the bookshelves were the others.

d.u.c.h.ess Lilo sat behind a table, and in front of her were the dark-skinned and muscular Elf, Untouchable, the Dwarven twins, Hill and The King, and the Grand Priest, Baldhead.

They turned their heads to look at the approaching Lancelot.

“Sir Lancelot, take a seat,” Lilo said in a soft voice as she pointed to an empty chair.

The voice sounded as though it carried Mana, making him feel as though a high and mighty Queen was talking to him. But actually, it was a girl that appeared no more than twelve or thirteen years old who sat behind the table.

Lancelot did a Knight’s salute to d.u.c.h.ess Lilo before sitting down.

Lilo took out several pieces of paper and distributed them to the five people, saying, “The papers indicate your work a.s.signments. Once the roads and buildings are constructed, you’ll have to start working.”

Lancelot received a piece of paper and looked at the dense words, surprised to find that the words looked like Sherlock’s handwriting. His first reaction was that it was written by Sherlock instead of Lilo.

Perhaps Sherlock was the master behind Victoria? It was quite possible.

Lancelot examined the paper.

“The respectable Sir Lancelot:

When you are reading this letter, you will have been in Victoria for three unforgettable days. I hope that you are enjoying your stay with the citizens of Victoria City.

Even if you’re not happy, it’s alright, because you will soon realize that they are a bunch of fearless and hardworking heroes. I hope that you haven’t fought with them. Otherwise, I’ll have to look for another Knight to teach them.

It’s a joke. I hope that you won’t mind.

If you have survived the three days without incident, I believe that you will have a lot of questions. Don’t ask. Even if you ask, n.o.body will tell you.

Let me explain your future work to you:

1: From tomorrow onwards, you will officially be Victoria City’s Combat Skills Trainer, and the citizens of Victoria will look for you to learn Combat Skills. You will conduct Combat Skills training from 7 am, with each session lasting for an hour with a rest period of 10 minutes.

You may use your discretion in regard to the training content and the number of trainees.

2: If you need their help, please feel free to ask them directly. If they can do it, they will be happy to help you.

3: You may receive d.u.c.h.ess Lilo’s missions, which I hope you can complete.

4: If you see evil Underworld creatures appearing nearby or hear about them from the citizens, do not report it to the Human Kingdom. Because Victoria City is the authentic s.h.i.+eld of Civilization!

5: Please read the contract and abide by all the terms in the coming days.

6: The citizens of Victoria City will build a specialized house for you. Please do not reject their efforts.

7: The citizens of Victoria City use a virtual currency. If they want to pay you, you only need to inform them that the payment is 100 bronze coins! Do not exceed a silver coin for each training session.

8: If I think of something else, d.u.c.h.ess Lilo will inform you.

9: Welcome to Victoria City. May the Sacred Lord bless you.

—Victoria City, Development Office.”

Lancelot finished reading the letter. He didn’t recall seeing any Development Office. Perhaps the workers were the three Hamsters?

The others also finished reading their letters. Lancelot wanted to peep at The King’s letter, but he had no intention of sharing and crushed the letter into a ball after reading it.

“If you have finished reading the letters and have no other questions, then go back and rest. My a.s.sistant Hamsters will help allocate houses to you.”

The three fat Hamsters stepped forward, and one of them said, “Please follow me.”

The employees of Victoria City stood up and followed the three Hamsters.

Lancelot heard d.u.c.h.ess Lilo’s voice as he was striding out.

“Sir Lancelot…”

The young d.u.c.h.ess Lilo frowned and muttered to an invisible figure before quickly looking at Lancelot and saying, “Please wait for a while, I have a special mission for you.”

Lancelot stopped, while the others followed the three Hamsters out of the study.

Once the door was shut, Lilo looked at Lancelot and said, “A batch of materials will be arriving near Victoria City tonight, and we have to arrange manpower to transport the materials. We haven’t scouted the area yet, and the citizens may have some careless slip-ups, so I need someone to supervise them. Will you accept the mission?”

“Apologies, d.u.c.h.ess, I have just arrived for the job, so if the materials are important, you may want to let your Hamster a.s.sistants take over. Perhaps…” Lancelot pondered before replying.

But Lilo wouldn’t accept his refusal. She said, “The Hamsters will be following you. After leaving my side, they will become nervous easily. It’s not inherent, it’s due to the unfamiliar environment. After much consideration, you’re the best choice.”

“If you trust me, I’ll complete the mission,” Lancelot nodded and said.

“Good, get a headcount of the laborers. There are a lot of materials, so bring as many men as possible.” Lilo nodded and gestured for him to leave.
