Chapter 124 I am the Chief

Isaac directed the believers to carry supplies back and forth.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that the lord actually gave them such favorable conditions and fulfilled them so quickly.

The paperwork was delivered last night, and they were notified this morning that a lab was vacant and they could move their things in.

The visitor also asked what they needed, such as test benches, tools, etc.

And a few hours after these requirements were raised, these tools were piled up in front of them.

This made Isaac feel somewhat unreal.

There is a table clock at the door of the laboratory, and you can see the time by looking up. It seems that people here pay special attention to time and efficiency, which is different from every place he has seen.

Isaac had dealt with many nobles. The efficiency of those people was an insult to the word efficiency. They only went to work when they were in a good mood, and working would make them feel bad quickly, and they would throw their work aside.

It seems that only interests can arouse their actions.

The officials of the empire were not much better, they procrastinated openly, and nothing could be done without bribery or threats.

But these people on the island are different.

They are always very conscious of time and will complete almost all requests as soon as possible. If they cannot be completed, they will also inform when it can be completed.

It's a wonderful feeling.

Isaac is primarily responsible for logistics in Fire Moth.

Chloe led the cultists forward, making sure no one was left behind.

So he knows very well how people work.

Those who work for the lord are not like the greedy nobles who see gold coins. They have a huge driving force. They seem to be accustomed to working efficiently and accustomed to working by staring at the clock.

This is actually the impact of Hughes opening a factory.

Everything in the factory is cultivating people's sense of time, the time taken for each step, the coordination of different processes, and the intervals between each process. Most of the people in the territory are employees of Xius, and this concept of punctuality quickly spread throughout Castel. Although the islanders themselves did not notice it, it was a very obvious difference to outsiders.

If placed in later generations, these are just basic concepts, but in this era, punctuality is a very rare quality, clocks are very expensive, and only very few people can know the time at all times.

Therefore, these people who focus on punctuality and efficiency seem out of place in this world.

It didn't take long for Isaac to notice a familiar figure.

"chief."

"Well, everything has been set up here? So quickly?"

"It's really fast. The people here are very efficient." Isaac nodded, with some approval on his face. "The lord is really good to us."

"Humph, he just found me a job." Chloe folded her arms, sighed after a while, picked up a glass of water from the table and drank it. "How many people can you contact, especially those in the North."

The North?

Isaac had some vague guesses.

"Not much. What is it?"

"Well," she hesitated, "he asked me to go over there today and asked if we have any believers in other places who could be taken over."

Isaac nodded. The Fire Moths were good at hiding, and there were often followers of them all over the continent. As long as they wanted to, it would be easy for them not to be discovered.

Not everyone is willing to wander around with the cult. Some people find a place to hide and do some research quietly.

If you can take it over, that's a good thing.

"I knew he had bad intentions - he actually wanted to get some clues about the North. You know, Nora from the Silent Temple is quite close to him."

"Nora's matter."

"That master told me that when the evil god descended last time, I forcibly activated my body and could not be contacted for a short period of time."

"I see. That's all I can do. I will give you the contact information of the believers in the North, but..."

He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "The Silent Temple is in danger right now. Getting too close to them may not be a good choice."

"The Silent Church and the Candlelight Society are at odds. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If they come, the Candlelight Society will be in trouble."

Chloe sipped her tea leisurely while speaking with a confident tone, but Isaac fell silent. After a while, he said quietly, "Don't forget where our base is. We are the Candlelight Society now."

"puff!"

Chloe's mouth spurted out the water.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After separating from Isaac, Chloe went to the lab next door.

After paying for a few bags of snacks, she successfully exchanged the right to use a steam engine from Monica.

This was something Hughes helped her coordinate.

Monica's research on machine souls had hit a bottleneck, or rather, she was not very good at formal inductive and analytical research methods. She relied more on flashes of inspiration - logically speaking, she would not get far this way, but she had more flashes of inspiration.

Therefore, Zeus handed the steam engine with the machine soul to the Fire Moths, who were experts in studying souls and machines.

Several banshees came forward, picked up the steam engine, and carefully carried it to Fire Moth's laboratory.

The believers stopped their work and looked at the Banshee with interest. This extraordinary creature, especially one from the sea, really interested these fanatical researchers.

It’s just that the two sides were hostile not long ago, and there are still some grudges. The banshees didn’t communicate much, they just put down the steam engine and left.

Chloe walked forward and touched the steam engine, feeling the coldness and solidity of the steel.

"Is this the steam engine?"

"Yes." Chloe looked at Isaac, then turned to look at the steam engine with reluctance in her eyes: "I'll leave its research to you."

“You won’t lead the research?”

Isaac was a little surprised. He and Chloe were both fire-chasing moths. He knew how attractive these steels with souls were to Chloe, but why did she give this job to him?

"I plan to go to the North - of course, after I understand the situation there, I may stay there for a while."

"You want to go to the North? But there is no such part in the agreement between us and the lord."

Chloe sighed, and she patted the steam engine gently: "He doesn't have much extra power without these parts. I am the most suitable candidate. Although he didn't mention it, I know what he means."

"After we finish dealing with things here, the news about Nora should come out. I will go to the North for him, whether he wants to communicate with Nora or gather refugees."

Chloe smiled.

"After all, I am the chief."
