After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 800

Emer always did feel like he was doing something wrong.

In his previous territory, he was fired because he apparently didn’t guard the Lord’s son well. He was tasked to guard the Lord’s 20-year-old son on his trip to a Town (escorted by hired mercenaries of course), but the lad only had play and fun in his mind and didn’t consider anything else.

The man was focused on ’tasting Town women’ and Emer was asked to wait outside the inn while the master fulfilled his needs.

Emer was forced to just stand outside the door for hours on end—how could he help him out when the other man fell down the stairs and broke his leg?

In the territory before that, he was also fired. There, he was assigned to Gate duty. There were refugees who were extremely pitiful. They were hoping to get inside, but they didn’t have enough copper on them. His heart softened and he gave them a few from his own wallet and for a while it felt nice to help people out.

However, those refugees caused a lot of trouble, and some were even spies from a rival village.

Had he not been hired from the Chancery, he’d have been buried with the spies.

Anyway, Emer hoped that he’d do well this time! He looked intensely at the lord and her man, afraid to miss any instructions.

There wouldn’t be much instructions from Althea, however. Since she found out that the other hires were welcoming newcomers their own way (usually at either the tavern or the restaurant), she forgoed the orientation and let the others do it for her. It was best to come from people of the same culture, anyway.

"You can just go straight to the barracks," she said in the end, nudging her husband.

"It’s located on the Eastern side of the territory and you can ask around," Garan said as he looked at him with that impassive expression on his face. "Tell them you are a newly hired aborigine that the elders sent. They will assign you to a task or a team from there."

At the same time, Althea sent a message to the other hired aborigines, alerting them of the newcomer to welcome.

Emer nodded and gave the standard salute before leaving the couple behind. He doubted there would be people around at this time, he didn’t dare to ask more questions. He just thought he’d figure something out along the way.

…

Because she actually got her hire today, Althea just emptied out the rest of the three slots without much expectation.

Unexpectedly, in the fifth and final summoning, she actually did find someone interesting.

[Name: Buggy Pooh

Occupation: Insect Finder _{freёwebnovel.com}

Remuneration: 10 Gold/month]

Insect Finder.

Don’t look at it weirdly and think it was useless. While it really had no application for the imminent extreme heat, it could be useful right after.

First of all, such rich forests and plants couldn’t have been what they were now without insects like bees. But how come they hadn’t found similar insects?
