Chapter 103: The Witch’s Transformation
Chapter 103 – Witch’s Transformation
“The newly built witch school needs some manpower, and the territory also needs some witches, they are all rare talents.” Owen guessed some of Emilee’s thoughts, so he opened his mouth and said.
Anyway, all in all, he would not let them be idle, and not being idle meant being useful, and if they were useful, they would not be abandoned.
This was indeed the case, although these witches had completely wasted their own talent because they had not been taught well, but after all, they possessed magical power, and with a little bit of guidance they could do things that ordinary people could not do, much better than a dumb cannon, so of course they could not be wasted.
What’s more, Owen took them as test subjects, intending to use them to try out new enhancements.
Amelia knew that Owen had other ideas, but was powerless to stop them, instead she had to cooperate as much as possible, because in her heart, although these adult witches were pitiful, the real hope was for the little witches who were still underage, so she could only pretend she didn’t know.
Inwardly helpless but can not do anything Emmie went back, she needs to arrange for manpower to take over the production of cheese, but also have to cooperate with Maya to reorganize the intelligence network, and at the same time to discuss how to not alarm the outside world under the circumstances of the farm of small witches and their families to transfer over, because compared to never go out of the ugly witches, as a milkmaid they are known to the outsiders, even if it does not really care about it, all of a sudden all gone, will also cause other people to suspect. It would also cause others to be suspicious, so she really didn’t have much energy to put into it.
After Emile left, Owen saw those witches who hid in the house and didn’t come out, he couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows and decided to leave first.
Whether it was his identity or appearance, it was not suitable to continue staying here, let these witches slowly adapt to this town, and then arrange for them to work after they adapt.
After Emile and Owen left one after another, those witches were suddenly at a loss for words, as no one told them what to do.
Laboring, eating, sleeping, this was all their life before, suddenly all changed, suddenly at a loss, so even if they were uneasy in their hearts, they still had the courage to come out, because they still remembered the words of the chief, if they want to stay, they have to show their own value.
This is very much in line with the values of the people in this world, those who have no value do not even have the qualification to live, some places still retain the habit of abandoning the old, the weak, the sick and the handicapped, so they have no objections, they just want to find a job so that they can stay.
After all, compared to the cramped and dimly lit environment of the cheese workshop, the town of Green Shade was a paradise for them.
Here they had their own rooms, beautiful furniture, wide and bright surroundings, which rarely appeared even in their dreams, so how could they willingly give them up and return to the cheese workshop on the farm, longing for the sunshine outside the high windows every day, so they decided to take the initiative to look for a job.
Since there were no humans in the entire town, the witches relaxed in a rare moment and even stopped hiding their ugly features, but still carefully watched their surroundings, and at the first sign of trouble, they hid.
Fortunately, the kobolds encountered on the road didn’t care about their looks, or even their identity, but greeted them with curiosity, and for them to want to find the lord of this place, they were very enthusiastic to bring them to the front of the kobold general.
“Work? Lord Lord has not yet relevant orders, but you still have to quasi abide by the rules of the territory.” The kobold general looked at the group of dirty witches in front of him, frowned, and called a few female kobolds to bring grooming supplies and clothes, as well as money bags according to the number of people.
“The town has a bathhouse, free to use, every three days in the summer to take a bath and change clothes, once a week in the winter, dirty can go to the wash at any time, weekdays must be kept clean and tidy.” After dividing the stuff down, the kobold general said impatiently, as it made it look like a babysitter. A few female kobolds, knowing that the Goblin General didn’t like to be bothered with such things, took it upon themselves to lead the bewildered witches to the bathhouse.
Even though they were kobolds, being female, the witches were a little less nervous and began to whisper about the town.
“Although you live in the town, you are not really considered to have joined here, so there are some things that I can’t tell you, but the Lord of Lords is benevolent, you will soon be granted a boon as long as you are loyal enough, after all, that Lord has the benevolence that even kobolds are willing to take in.” A female Goblin said to them with a smile and then introduced the stores around them.
“You don’t have farmland, so you need to buy from the stores for your regular use, the good thing is that the things are not expensive, the money in the money pouch is enough for you to live for a month, and the Lord Lord will arrange for you to work when the time comes.”
The female kobold’s words made these witches relax a bit and focus their attention on the stores around them.
The stores in Green Shade Town looked a bit smaller than those in other towns, but they were much more refined and well-kept.
The shelves in front of the fruit and vegetable store were filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, the bakery gave off a tantalizing aroma of wheat, the butcher’s store was filled with sausages and hams, the tailor’s store was filled with colorful garments that dazzled the eyes of the people, and the blacksmith’s store was filled with tools and the carpenter’s store with sturdy furniture, so it could be said that there was everything that a small town would need, and that made the witches, who hadn’t been on the street for many years, a little bit more excited.
Even if they are witches, even if they are ugly, but they always have a heart for beauty, no one likes to avoid the crowd of people living alone in the wilderness.
What surprised the witches even more was that the kobolds living here were clean and tidy, civilized and polite, making them wonder if the kobolds they had seen before were kobolds or not, or if these kobolds in the town were kobolds or not?
“The bathhouse is here.” The female kobold said happily, after all, no one could resist a hot bath in the cold season.
As soon as the witches looked up they saw a building shrouded in water vapor and were somewhat surprised that this tall building was just a bathhouse.
In order to prevent moisture damage to the building, the bathhouse is built with stone, tall and wide, divided into men and women, enough to accommodate more than a hundred people at the same time bathing, is the largest building in the entire town, which shows how much Owen focuses on this aspect of personal hygiene.
Because of the use of torch stumps to provide heat, the hot water is not worth it, the fresh water that is drawn in is heated and then directly filled into the bath, so that the water inside is always clear, and the water that is discharged is not wasted.
There are pools and drains on both sides of the bathhouse door, and the hot water that flows out from it will be filled here, making it convenient for the surrounding kobolds to come over to wash their clothes, and then they only need to use fresh water again to get clean, especially in the winter, making washing clothes no longer a torture.
Along the way, the female kobolds taught the witches a lot of tips on how to live in a small town, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, which made the witches even more excited to stay here, so apart from this place, they really couldn’t find another place that would allow them to live under the sun.
