After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 808

For now, Gill and the others were not aware of exactly what was brewing. They were focused on planning the trip home.

"I got 490 goblins to agree to go with me," Gill said. "Most of them would go to Limestone Valley, and the rest would head to Alterra."

This was a good number and it still left at least a thousand more inside. According to the instructions delivered by the escorts, most of these would go to Limestone Valley, while about a hundred would settle in Alterra to help out with the Heat Wave preparations.

They nodded, dividing themselves into teams so the guards would have assignments. This was to make sure that all the goblins reached the destinations safe and sound.

The guards, though mostly normal guards within the level cap, were led by a few stronger soldiers like Mao and Luis. Silva went out early that morning to clear the way.

Among the guards, interestingly, there were two non-Alterrans there. They were both women, and the only female members of the Iron Mountains Guard team, Yllana and Mirea.

They looked a bit tense, surrounded by new people, but also hopeful.

The previous night, they were called on to his home by Master Gill. It was pretty late and the associations, considering their experiences, led them to make some unsavory assumptions.

A part of them thought they’d be asked to bed him. This made them a little sad, though they didn’t fight it. Master Gill was still a thousand times better than Baltimore.

However, they were surprised to see Miss Silvia there instead. She was waiting for them on the dining table, with light snacks and tea for three prepared.

"Come and sit. Let’s have a little talk," she said. She was so beautiful and graceful, and the two women couldn’t help but admire her.

The two of them reluctantly sat down at the same table. When Silvia also asked them to drink and eat, they followed, though not expecting much.

When the drink touched their lips and the cookies melted in their tongues though, the two women went blank in a daze, absorbing what they had just tasted, and started eating the rest of it with gusto.

They flushed when they realized what they did, but Silvia just laughed at their reaction. "It’s a common snack in Alterra. As long as you have a job, you can afford to have that every few days. Maybe even every day."

The two women blinked, longing but also puzzled.

"Now… I called you here because of that.

"Rest well and prepare your things, you’re going to Alterra."

"What?"

"Really?"

Silvia smiled. "Yes, really."

The two couldn’t help but look at the woman, pushing a few boundaries to ask the question.

If it was Master Gill, they wouldn’t have dared, but perhaps because Silvia was a fellow woman, they couldn’t help but want to try. "What is Alterra like?" Yllana asked. "I mean, for people like us…"

She pursed her lips when she realized her question was vague. However, Silvia understood. "Alterra… it’s a place where as long as you work hard and have the heart to contribute—you’d be able to live well."
