The rumbling workshop and furnace, along with the mine carts traveling in the tunnels, all indicated that this once-lost city had reawakened.
However, what surprised Tonglu the most was not Serenadil's drastic transformation.
What surprised Tonglu the most were the Half-Beasts walking in the mine tunnels, either pushing carts full of ore or busily carrying pickaxes!
And faintly, Tonglu could hear their conversations:
"You fools! Work faster! Can you afford to delay the Elf Lord's matters?!"
"Whoever works the fastest and best today will have meat to eat!"
That was a Half-Beast holding a whip.
And as he cursed at the other Half-Beasts, there were voices echoing from among them:
"Yes, Lord Sharu!"
Tonglu:...
Watching this scene, the well-experienced Legendary Warrior was left dumbfounded.
"I wondered why the Death Desert Half-Beasts have decreased, turns out they were brought here by the elves as miners?! And... they seem quite willing?!"
