After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1481

Chapter 1481: Letter Arrived!

Back in Voumi Town, Otto settled back in his room. He laid down on the bed in thought.

There should still be more than a thousand elementalist slaves in this place. However, most of them were probably settled in other jobs, like guards, and some were directly deposited next to local men as their playthings.

Among those who were privy to the plan, on the other hand, there was only one person left—that woman next to Hesso.

The thought of the woman made his eyes sparkle in interest. Silvia had mentioned that she was the main person helping their side out, and they also told him of her power and limitations.

The wood power variation, and she was limited to emanating certain scents and capable of affecting judgment of anyone whose level wasn’t far from hers—especially if they were weak-minded.

In that case, it was natural for her to choose the brainless Hesso. The current Lord was not only much higher in level, but he was also a bit sharper than the spoiled Hesso, not to mention Mafo’s level, which was far superior to hers.

Terrans had the most interesting variations in their ranks. Then again, it could be because of the large number of elementalists, the number of odd mutations was also higher. Either way, it was fun to see things he had taken for granted turn over his head.

And more, he was interested when abilities were maximized by the individual. If it were someone weaker or someone with a bad heart who had this power, it could either be wasted or used on innocents.

This was actually the more likely case, so the fact that that woman had managed to escape the fate of the women here and help save a thousand people was very impressive.

Not to mention the impressive control of her ability, it spoke of her mind.

Otto stood up and sat on the side of the bed.

Now... what to do with the rest of the unfortunate slaves?

...

The next day, during a meeting, one of Mafo’s servants ran to him. In his hand, was finally the letter they had been waiting for.

"A letter addressed to that guy Enok had arrived!"

"Oh?" he asked, extending his hand to get it. It was a copy of course, because the original posts could not be taken out by anyone other than the addressee themselves.

The Lord had access to the Post Office and he assigned handling it to some literate slaves he—or rather, the previous lord—got from previous wars with another town.

Of course, even if it was common practice for Lords to intercept letters, they were rarely so blatant about it—especially when the other person was someone of an unknown or a higher background.

Usually, Mafo wouldn’t really care to reveal otherwise. For instance, if he decided to intercept, then he’d open up the envelope and break the seal without care for the recipient knowing it had been read by someone else. This time though, he was a bit more careful.

Posts were usually from papyrus, which was folded a few times. Its end was secured by colored wax with the seal of the sender. However, he saw the sender’s location and he paused, suddenly not daring to open it.

It was from Warrior City!

The land of the greatest human fighters!
