Chapter 634: Recruiting a Capable Individual While traveling toward the Forest City—the central hub of the Elf Autonomous Region—Tauro’s group stayed overnight in the village they had stopped at. They continued to rely on the elf guide, Glasslow, who had come from the checkpoint. In fact, the village chief had offered to let someone else […]
Chapter 633: Astonishing Ecology The village chief of the first village in the Elf Autonomous Region agreed to meet Tauro and his party a few minutes later. With Glasslow acting as an intermediary, he briefly explained what had happened when they entered the territory. “Oh! It’s been quite a long time since a member of
Chapter 632: Inside the Elf Autonomous Region Tauro and the others ended up waiting for more than half a day in front of the checkpoint to the Elf Autonomous Region. “This is taking a long time…” Tauro muttered as the hours passed. Zion, bored by the wait, passed the time playing with Garo, the wolf-shaped
Chapter 631: The Elf Autonomous Region Checkpoint Tauro and his party traveled south through the Giro Sugar territory and eventually arrived at the checkpoint marking the border of the Elf Autonomous Region. That was the boundary with the Elf Autonomous Region. Riding Garo, the wolf-shaped puppet, the party left the territorial capital first thing in
Chapter 630: To the Next Autonomous Region The replies from the envoys Tauro had sent to the autonomous regions weren’t encouraging. Day after day, the envoys returned with their reports.

Chapter 629: Personnel Matters (Continued) After returning from the Dwarven Autonomous Region, Zion rejoined Tauro and Black-Gold Wings, while Ankh temporarily stepped away from the party to train candidates for the territorial guard and identify someone suitable to lead it. That said, Ankh was still based in the territorial capital and frequently traveled around the
Chapter 628: Personnel Matters At the castle that served as the lord’s residence, Tauro sat down to discuss future plans with Robin, the dogkin woman from the Garfish Trading Company who had been serving as acting administrator. Robin’s real hope was to hold a formal inauguration ceremony for Tauro as lord as soon as possible,
Chapter 627: Return to the Territorial Capital On the way, Tauro’s group met up with Zion and Seth, the boy-shaped autonomous-thinking puppet, who had been maintaining and improving the road to the mine during their absence. This was possible because Tauro had communicated with Seth through thought sharing. That allowed them to meet up in
Chapter 626: The Journey Back from the Dwarven Autonomous Region Rogas, a miner and the youngest brother of Chairwoman Gasra of the Dwarven Roundtable Council, met Tauro again the next morning and immediately called out to his fellow miners. Before long, a group of highly skilled miners gathered—clearly showing how much they trusted him. When
Chapter 625: Securing Manpower At the edge of Cavern City lay a massive tunnel. It was a direct passage leading straight to the mines. For the dwarves, mines were essential to the development of their city, and the routes leading to them were among their most important lifelines. The ores extracted from these mines would
