After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1470

Chapter 1470: The Help Arrives

Alterra tended to have several plans when handling sensitive and large movements. Causing another—older town—some big trouble without damaging themselves definitely counted as sensitive movement.

At this time, Rowan and Silvia had gone back to the inn after a whole day of ’planting’.

By ’planting’, this meant to spread more news about the virus as well as its supposed incubation period. Basically, calculating when the news would reach the Lord here, he should rush to get rid of the slaves within the next day.

They also handed Misha another bar of soap to exacerbate the symptoms to match their narrative.

"We have now done our parts," Silvia said, resting her head on Rowan’s shoulder. "Do you think that person arrived already?"

...

For this task, a certain Otto was enlisted. He was wearing a bit of a disguise this time. His hair was still dyed dark red, and he was wearing customized specs (really good quality, handcrafted by Glassmaster Ricky himself).

His clothing was also a bit more colorful, showing off that he was rich and careless, but also had a good position of power. Basically, he appeared to be the best customer a merchant could ask for.

It was a very different picture from his usual image, but he was still very handsome. A lot of women swooned when they saw him before he left, and there was no doubt that many fantasies would float around it.

He used several beast carts and changed up the carriages as well as removed the emblems there, taking away any indication of where he was from. They were mostly empty, but he was coming to Voumi with the premise of buying slaves, so there shouldn’t be much concern about it.

When he arrived, he had encountered some beast carts heading out, and he couldn’t help but ask around to make his arrival appear less planned and a bit hurried. Of course, he kept in character, which wasn’t really difficult for him because the identity was still a rich person who could buy a lot of things.

As for whether the Lord would see his name there, he could, but they naturally had a workaround.

Anyway, Otto went straight to the Town Center and asked anyone dressed decently. "Hello, I’m here for the elementalist auction.

"Am I late? Is it already over?" He asked, appearing very concerned. "I was planning on buying hundreds of slaves..."

"What to do... I’m in a rush. I have to leave with slaves tomorrow."

The guides looked at each other awkwardly. "This... it’s been cancelled. It’s really bad lu—" the man was cut off by his companion patting his back.

"The Lord suddenly had cold feet," he said, giving the other a subtle look they thought Otto wouldn’t notice. "He’s... reluctant to let go of such good products in the end. How common are elementalists in this world?"

Otto nodded. "Indeed, I have always wondered how someone could sell them out like this—especially to potential enemies like nearby towns."

"I completely agree!" he said. "But perhaps if you show sincerity, he could spare you a few."

Otto smiled and handed him a couple of silver. The men smiled, and the other dude adjusted and became greedy, too.

"Would you like to meet our lord?"

"Yes, please, I’m in a bit of a bind you see," he said. "My territory is in the far east of the human realm. There’s a war about to happen in my territory against an orc territory...

He then handed over a couple more silvers. "I am really desperate now, my friend," he said. "If you could give a good word that I am in a rush and I have to leave within a day, then it would really be helpful to my City."

The two men flinched and nodded enthusiastically.

"Of course, sir! We will do our best to help you!

At this time, Mafo was in his office, though he was nagging at his ’elders’, forcing them to find a fix to the problems they were encountering right now— or else it would be their heads that’d get ’fixed’, probably against a wall!
