Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 478 Young Brains Work Well

It suddenly rained around Gaoting these few days.

The dirty snow that had originally piled up against the walls and street corners was unwilling to leave so early, but was forcibly melted away by a few rains and returned to the ground. After that, a layer of low, tender green immediately spread in the cracks in the city.

"Look at these fluffy green grasses. It seems that spring has come especially early this year. I'm really anxious." This is what the city residents said when they met and chatted.

Perhaps it was the influence of the early spring that arrived so hastily, everything in the royal city seemed to be moving faster. Some people were unaware, while others were more perceptive and felt something unusual. The movement of people in the city became more and more frequent, and all kinds of gossip were circulating in the streets, making people restless.

"Is it going to rain again later? It's really boring."

In Goletia Academy, Lilith looked at the sky and talked to herself.

"I told you there would be no rain, and you kept asking me if you didn't believe me." Lucas was very dissatisfied when his sea dweller skills were questioned.

"That's great." Lilith turned around and climbed over the school wall.

Although she was upset about Lyriel's disappearance, she still had to continue with her work. In her spare time, Lilith still used elven magic to create hybrid seeds. She had produced a lot of them in the past few days and was going to send them to the underground warehouse of Shelley Brewery, waiting for Mr. Kirk to come and take them away.

In addition, she also planned to find the dwarf craftsmen in the winery to inquire about the situation.

Most of the dwarves who had obtained the qualifications to work at Lilith's Brewery were the first group of redbeards to come to Goletia. They were greedy for Lilith's generous employee benefits and worked hard. However, although dwarves were already a very creative race, the red-bearded dwarves in front of them were still confused by what their boss said.

"——What the hell?" The dwarf put down the huge barrel and looked at Lilith. "What is tunnel warfare?"

"Uh, uh, just an idea..." How could Lilith just sit there and wait for death? She was idle while the seeds were being catalyzed, and an idea came to her mind.

"If I can take you to Highgarden and find a suitable place, and you can dig a passage from the ground to the Temple of Light..."

Lilith had looked at the topographic maps of High Garden and the Temple these days, and felt that this plan was very feasible and low-risk. Wasn't that how she got her sword back in the first place? So the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. After talking for a long time, she saw the other side raise a thumb.

"Great, Boss Lilith!" Red Beard listened with great interest. Young people's brains really work!

"So!" Lilith clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, "Can you help me contact a few teams that are good at excavation? The more people the better. I am in a hurry——"

"No way!" Red Beard looked at his fellow tribesmen and waved his hands.

"Huh?!" Lilith never expected that she would be rejected by the dwarf. Is he tired of drinking?

"Oh, I understand! This is a different price, right!" Lilith slapped her forehead, "There's overtime pay and a chartered car trip!"

"No way!" Red Beard remained indifferent.

Tsk, why isn't Lucas a dwarf? How could that guy not want to make money? - Lilith shouted in her heart.

"You have to give me a reason!" Seeing that Red Beard was about to pick up the bucket and walk out again, Lilith went around and stopped him.

"That's Highgarden, the territory of the Human King!"

"The Human King is long gone!"

"You don't need to tell me, Boss Lilith. All the heroes are gone!" Red Beard simply put the barrel down again. "But you don't understand what that place meant a thousand years ago. It was the capital of the kingdom founded by the Human King. The Holy Calendar began when Highgarden was completed. We dwarves also contributed to its construction."

Although the Human King's reign was short and crazy, it was an honor for any dwarf to participate in the construction of the Human King's capital. Red Beard's friends still use this to brag about the glory of their ancestors.

"That's even better. You guys are going on a business trip, so you can also pay homage to the legacy of your ancestors." Lilith was talking nonsense while leaning on the wooden barrel.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that no one else would take this job." Red Beard patiently explained, "Although most of the capital was built by us, the various restrictions were set by the elven priests. In order to prevent people from digging underground, restrictions were set long ago. Once you dig a shovel in the ground, there will be a noise!"

“There is, there is such a thing?!” Lilith was dumbfounded. How good was the relationship between Zora and the elves back then? This is the security system of the royal city, and it was actually handed over to the elves?

It's the elves again!

"But there is nothing wrong with our dwarves' construction skills!" Red Beard couldn't help but defend his ancestors. "It's those orcs who like to live in caves! Wow! They are really rude! They still talk about pursuing the authenticity of nature! They have to dig their own things to sleep well, which causes the ground to collapse and the river to be blocked..."

Lilith was stunned: ...I came here to listen to your stories about the frictions between different races! My name is Lilith, not Xiaoli.

"Anyway, look." Red Beard pointed at the map Lilith brought and circled most of it with his hand. "This is the earliest human royal city. It has been expanded a lot over the past thousand years. These places in the outer city are definitely not within the protection range of the ban, but unfortunately, this Temple of Light——"

"It's right within the restricted area." Lilith held her forehead in despair.

"Hehe." Red Beard showed an honest smile and gave a thumbs up again. Young brains are really useful!

It seemed that the unorthodox method was not going to work, so Lilith said goodbye to Red Beard with regret and went back to work. She went down to the warehouse to sort and pack the seeds, and when she came back up, she saw Bella waiting for her in the passage.

Bella was wearing a khaki dress suit today. In order to avoid the rain outside, she put on a pair of shiny boots. She looked very neat standing there, and already had the style of a business elite.

"Wow, Bella, you look so beautiful today!" Lilith felt that Bella had something to ask her, so she rushed over and gave Bella a bear hug, trying to cover her mouth.

"Don't give me that. I have something to discuss with you." Bella was obviously not as easy to fool as before. She tried to put on a stern face and struggled, not giving Lilith a chance to get away with it.

"What's the matter? Isn't the purpose of a personal maid to be with you?" Lilith held her and shook her, and even tried to lift her off the ground, before she put her down with a smile amid Bella's exclamation.

"Some things still require your decision—"

"Hey, Miss Bella, you underestimate yourself. Even if I'm not around in the future, you will be able to run this place well." Lilith waved her hands indifferently.

"Where are you going?" Bella raised her eyebrows suspiciously.

"Aha, I was just kidding." Lilith smiled and took a step away to change the subject. "What do you want from me?"

It was rare for the boss to cooperate so well, so Bella stopped chatting and asked, "Have you heard of the 'Eastern Expedition Tax' recently?"

"Huh?" Lilith looked confused.
