The Endless System
Ch 137 — Report

Tohrei arrived at a settlement built on his territory. Tohrei was a little surprised to see that the building here became so developed. Housing that was originally only made of stone and wood has now become more sturdy.

“Woah, I think this is thanks to Zeirock, the knowledge of the scroll I gave seems to be very influential.” Tohrei was speechless to notice how the buildings here looked stronger with the imperial capital Aelion.

Zeirock was a wrath orc who was Tohrei's subordinate. Zeirock became a major leader in development at Ashfriet. It was all thanks to the scroll that Tohrei got from the system.

“Ah! Isn't that Mr Tohrei?!” A hobgoblin sees Tohrei while doing his activities.

The other citizens who were there turned in the direction that the hobgoblin pointed, immediately kneeling before Tohrei and welcoming Tohrei's return.

“You can stand now.” His orders to his citizens.

The citizens are made up of various races, for example goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, direwolves, orcs, and there are other races as well.

After there, Tohrei now went directly to his mansion by flying. He was quite amazed when he saw the view of the city from the sky.

The buying and selling activities here seem to have started to become a common thing, making Ashfriet really look like a country. However, Tohrei had not actually declared his territory a state. He only claimed the originally free Ashfriet forest territory was now his domain.

He arrived at the mansion that he longed for, how nostalgic he was even if he had only left this for about a year.

On the other hand, Ifrit realized there was someone approaching the mansion and he knew who it was. He is currently in his office, which was made in the Tohrei mansion.

“It seems nothing has changed here.” Tohrei watched the mansion, it looked the same since he left.

Not wanting to linger outside anymore, Tohrei immediately opened the gate. Yet someone just suddenly came beside him with a perfect kneeling attitude.

“Hamba welcomes the return of my lord.” That figure was Ifrit, in a neat uniform kneeling before him.

“Ifrit? It's been a while huh ..”

“Yes, I have long been waiting for your return, my lord.” Although his expression looked flat, it was hidden in his heart a longing.

“Stand up, let's go to your office, I want to hear what's happened in Ashfriet.” Take Tohrei who wants to know more about the things that happen as long as he does not exist.

“It will be a little long, but I will gladly explain.” Ifrit.

***

They arrive at Ifrit's office, both sitting in chairs, facing each other at one table. Ifrit prepared tea for this talk. Actually he wanted to give a better dish, but Ifrit felt that it was not good to make his master wait a long time, then he immediately explained.

“The first thing I want to report is about food in this region.” Open Ifrit in their conversation.

Tohrei listened, the food problem is something that is very important for a region so he must carefully listen.

“Hunting method for finding food I think will be too wasteful, so I propose on the population to make farmland and farm.” Ifrit.

“Then, did it work? The method to do agriculture and livestock is not that easy, although we do have plantations in the mansion I think the residents do not have enough skill to plant or harvest.” Ask Tohrei.

“Do you remember the Ogres? They are quite skilled in doing farm and farm activities, we ask them to teach other citizens to do that activity.” Ifrit told me about the three Ogres who settled here.

“Yes, the three of them turned out to have an expert background in that field so we hired them for it.”

“Hm .. I think that's good news, then what about the hunter members? They will no longer be used for hunting, right?” Tohrei asked about the members of the hunters.

“We move hunter members to military parts, for humanoid and beast members we separate them.” Answer Ifrit.

“Separing them? Well ... That's not a bad thing anyway. Thanks for your report, is there anything else?”

“There are several other reports regarding the development of the region, such as infrastructure and transportation.”

“Regarding the infrastructure, I can already see it, it seems that Zeirock has worked hard for it,” Tohrei said.

“Zeirock performance is indeed very good. Not only working to design, he also took to the field to help with development.” Ifrit reports on the performance of the orc.

“By the way about transportation, what do you mean it's the beasts that are the mounts?” Along his way to the mansion, Tohrei sees some non-humanoid monsters become mounts for other races.

“It's true. But they become transportation unlike rides in general.”

“Hm? What do you mean?” Tohrei was puzzled as to what Ifrit meant from saying 'unlike mounts in general'.

“The monsters that are the mounts have the same equality as the ones riding. The mounts were salaried as transportation.”

“Drawn? So you mean they get money if it becomes transportation, so?”

“Just like that, my lord. To reduce job problems then we do this.”

“Hm ... well it would be a problem too anyway if they didn't get the job.”

Work ... it reminded him, how the citizens can count when no one teaches him.

“We are now buying and selling using money right? But how do the citizens count?” It became a question that made Tohrei curious.

Tohrei had indeed proposed to use buying and selling using money, but he did not think that it would be used this quickly.

“We asked some people to teach citizens simple calculations and how to use money. But, not everything is enough to understand it, so the plan is that we want to create an educational facility.” Ifrit took a breath, then exhaled it back. He seems quite tired of this.

“But we can't do it without a discussion with you, my lord. We initially want to contact you but who would have thought you came before we contact.” Ifrit in his explanation.

“Education yes? I think it's time we educate the monsters. We discuss this tomorrow, thanks for the report, Ifrit.”

“It was just a report, my lord. You don't need to thank this servant.” As usual, Ifrit always went low on his master.

“I'm not exaggerating, but I'd better say goodbye now, I want to take a little rest after a long trip.” Tohrei had already intended to leave after hearing the report.

“Good, milord. May you enjoy your rest" he said respectfully.
