3134 Recruitment Speech (Part 2)

"Magus Verhen, if it's not too much trouble, do you mind telling the story behind that plaque?"

"The one I carved? Why?" Lith furrowed his brows while the customers gasped in shock.

"Because no one believes me and calls me a fraud." Gilad's voice was sad but his gaze was fiery as he glared at those who had relentlessly mocked him.

"Let's teach them a lesson then." Lith told the story in a cut-and-dry family-friendly version due to the presence of the kids but it still matched Gilad's words.

He even turned a mug of ale into a weapon and then back into beer to give a practical demonstration.

"Aren't you going to drink it?" The owner said in a pleading tone.

"It's morning, mister." Kamila glared at him. "What kind of example are you setting for young children?"

"My apologies." Gilad backed down quickly.

The Hot Pot wasn't a family restaurant and its clients drank at every hour of the day. Gilad wasn't used to setting boundaries but for the sake of his profits, he was willing to learn.

Continent of Jiera, Flying Feather outpost, at dawn.

It was the second time in centuries that Salaark walked another continent. She didn't like crossing into the turf of another Guardian but since she despised Fenagar and her people needed her help, the Overlord made an exception.

She was in her human form, wearing the same red desert robe that identified her as the ruler of the land. It was a custom with which Jierans were unfamiliar, but things were about to change.

Salaark carried the "little" Shargein in her arms with ease, even though the Wyrmling had already reached the size of a small horse.

"There was no need for your presence, My Liege." Resaal, one of the members of the Nest stationed in Jiera said. "You shouldn't bother yourself with something as trivial as recruiting. It's beneath yourself."

"There's nothing trivial in getting to know my subjects, my Featherling." She replied. "First impressions matter and since I'm going to demand the servitude of the Jierans, I want to make things clear from the start.

"Otherwise we might take in people who are more trouble than they are worth or who might defect at the first controversy and reveal our plans to our competitors. I need loyal subjects and despite all your powers, Featherling, you are no leader.

"None of your siblings is and it's my fault."?She sighed. "I've taught you how to follow orders, not to impart them. Yet I like things as they are and have no problem taking responsibility for my own decisions. Where are we going to start?"

"The closest city to us is Zarka and belongs to the Beast Empire." Resaal said after checking a map. "I've already contacted the local authorities and they have granted you full access to the human residential quarters."

"People of Zarka, listen to me and listen well. I'm not going to repeat myself and your very lives are on the line." The Overlord stood on a raised dais as high as an adult man, allowing her gaze to sweep far and wide over the crowd. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
