When the next day arrived, Kevin and the others had already returned to the village. Most of them had already rested, and the rest had begun to rest.
Luke was so tired that he slept until seven in the evening and then got up. For the first ti since arriving in the village, he had a chance to fully rest. He didn’t want to have his servants do all the work, which explained why he had taken on tasks like digging and filling holes.
When he woke up, Kevin had already prepared breakfast for himself and was ready to give his report.
"My lord, with the work we did yesterday, we have almost completed seventy kilotres of the area, and with all the materials exhausted, we returned to the village," Kevin said suddenly.
Luke was surprised. He couldn’t help but be surprised. Seventy kilotres was an incredible distance, and to cover that distance in almost 8-9 hours while using up every last bit of construction material was unbelievable.
"Well done," Luke said with a smile, as they had indeed completed a task worthy of praise.
"Rest today. I don’t want any of you to work..." Luke said, then paused as if sothing had occurred to him, and added, "Go to the elf region and ask if there’s anyone engaged in fishing. If there is, create a deed for the house I built by the lake and give the deed to that elf. Then rest; tomorrow we’ll create the remaining deeds and agreents."
Kevin imdiately nodded and left Luke alone to have breakfast.
Kevin had found only one person in the village who could do the fishing work. His gift was in hunting, and this gift also worked on fishing. and this elf was quite experienced.
Unlike many elves, he seed to live without being tied to his village. According to what he said, he had spent his youth on wild seas and improved his hunting skills. Not only that, but he had also worked as a high-level hunter under the ’Guild,’ which frequently assisted the army even without being part of the imperial army.
He wasn’t a very powerful elf. Still, he couldn’t be called weak either.
anwhile, daily tasks continued as usual, and for the first ti, the villagers began fishing together by following the path.
As evening turned into night, everyone managed to enjoy a delicious al with fresh-caught fish and vegetables that Luke had previously purchased from the shop panel.
By the ti the light of the next day began to climb into the sky, Luke had already loaded dozens of tons of materials onto dozens of carts, and road construction had resud.
The amount of materials he had provided was nearly twenty tis the load he had given the group the previous day, which was another way of saying, "I want you to cover more ground today."
Luke had not been idle. By the ti the elves set off in the morning, Kevin and he had drawn up nearly 150 deeds and agreents within an hour.
At the end of the hour, Kevin left the mansion to work on the road, and Luke remained alone, or rather with Cain, in the mansion.
The young elf boy Cain had brewed tea for Luke as he had learned from Kevin, and Luke had begun to enjoy the tea while working.
After working for nearly two hours, he had just set aside the report papers he was working on when suddenly the door to his room opened and an elf entered:
"My lord!"
Luke was surprised by the elf entering his room in this manner, but he knew that no one would do such a thing unless it was a serious matter.
"What happened?" he asked with great curiosity.
"You need to see this, my lord! The lake..." said the elf. This elf was the very elf who had been designated as the owner of the lake house.
Luke shook his head, imdiately got up, put on sothing warm, and followed the elf out of the mansion. When he ran to the path and reached the lake, he was t with a sight that truly surprised him.
There were many elves and humans around, blocking the view of the lake, each of them looking at the lake with excitent and watching the creatures on its surface.
Like the elves, they had pointed ears, but unlike them, they had gills. Each of them had bright blue hair and eyes, and a slightly fair complexion. They were standing on the surface of the water.
Luke was surprised. The race before him belonged to the ’rmaid and rman’ race found in the seas of the eastern continent. It was a rare race. Contrary to what sailors claid, they were incredibly kind and friendly when not provoked, but they would destroy anyone who hard them.
As Luke walked to the far end of the port deck, passing between the elves and humans, he saw the male rmaid standing in the lake, perhaps six or seven tres away from him. Well, he was a rman, not a rmaid, but h, at this point, no one cared in this cold place.
"Are you the lord of this place?" the rman asked.
When Luke looked closely at the rman in front of him, he could see that the man had a trident in his hand and a crown on his head.
It was clear that the person standing in front of him was a noble, perhaps even a lord of the rn.
From Luke’s perspective, this rman was a creature whose lineage held no significance, but he still needed to find out what was going on.
"Yes," Luke said calmly, and then without pausing, "My na is Luke Ibn Alphonsine Hiera. I am the exiled first prince of the Hiera Empire."
This introduction clearly surprised every rmaid and rman present. It was only natural. They didn’t encounter nobles every day, and they certainly didn’t see soone whose fa reached the depths of the sea, the kings and queens of the sea, every day.
"We need your help," said the rman, and then introduced himself.
