After Joshua taught Lena once in the kitchen, he turned around and left the residence.

When he walked to the main street, there were people coming and going everywhere. There were also villagers who got up early to work.

When they saw Joshua, they would take the initiative to greet him.

“Good morning, village chief!”

When he saw these people, Joshua would raise his hand and wave back at them.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Joshua arrived at Alger’s workshop.

The workshop was still so busy. Early in the morning when everyone was still resting, they were already working hard at the furnace.

“Alger, how have you been recently?”

When he heard the shout, Alger immediately stopped working.

He turned around and greeted Joshua. “Good morning, Village Chief Joshua. The equipment forging has entered the final stage. Today is the last day. As long as we finish forging these spare equipment, we can rest for a while!”

Seeing that Alger’s enthusiasm was so high, Joshua brought him aside and told him of his plans.

Looking at the things on the blueprint, Alger was very puzzled. Why did Joshua make these things?

Looking at his expression, Joshua stated, “If you want to know what these things are used for, bring them to my house and I’ll show you personally!”

Hearing Joshua’s words, Alger’s heart itched even more and he nodded repeatedly. “Just you wait! I’ll help you make them tomorrow! No, it’s over for today. I’ll help you get all these things out tonight!”

Joshua patted his shoulder and said, “Tomorrow! I’ll be asleep by the time you’re done so how will I be able to show you how they work?”

Hearing Joshua’s words, Alger nodded and turned around to get busy with his work. He wanted to finish it as soon as possible so that he could spare some time for the night.

After leaving Alger’s workshop, Joshua went to the construction site to check the progress of the village’s recent construction.

To the south of the village was the expanded market. This was an important financial center in the future and would be the trading center of all the surrounding villages.

To the West was the dark elves’ residence.

There were also three other villages under development. They were the Northwest villages, which were the largest of all the villages.

This was because this village was filled with the minotaurs, pygmies, and orcs.

There was also a village in the Southwest. This village was relatively smaller than the one on the other side because it was filled with dwarves, goblins, pixies, and other smaller demi-humans.

On the other side was a village that was close to the farmlands. This village was filled with elves, all of whom were the descendants of old Village Chief Carl.

Seeing that the village was gradually growing larger, Joshua became happier and happier because this would allow his comprehensive city administration view panel to be upgraded.

Currently, the data of the comprehensive city administration view panel had reached a very high value.

After scanning the data, Joshua found that the level of his control panel was still far from the intermediate level.

He could only spread his hands helplessly. ‘It seems I still have a long way to go!’

Not long after he returned to the center of Puba Village, a patrol guard came looking for him.

“Lord Village Chief! Chief Mortimer is inviting you to the city council.”

After hearing the patrolling guard’s words, Joshua greeted him and walked toward the municipal administration center in the center of the village.

Before he entered, he heard the noise of a woman coming from inside.

“The village chief hasn’t arrived yet? I’ve been waiting for him for a long time!”

Hearing the voice of this strange woman, Joshua could not help but be curious. Why was there a woman looking for him?

He immediately walked into the office. The woman was blonde and judging by her ears, she was an elf.

Joshua walked behind her and coughed. “Ahem! Are you looking for me?”

The tall, blonde, and blue-eyed elf woman immediately turned around.

She stared at Joshua in front of her and found that this man did not stand out in any way.

She asked curiously, “Are you Village Chief Joshua?”

Facing the arrogant elven woman, Joshua immediately stared into her eyes and replied, “I am! May I know why you are looking for me?”

“Humph! Why would my father ask me to marry a man like you! Are you as handsome as other elves? You aren’t! In fact, your face looks quite sloppy.” As she said that, she turned her head away.

“Marry you?” With doubt, Joshua immediately asked, “What’s going on? I haven’t been informed of such a thing!”

After that, the blonde elf girl in front of him immediately explained to him, “This time, you saved our elven race. Therefore, my clan has decided that I am betrothed to you! Because I don’t know you at all, I went to come and find you to see what kind of man that you are. However, you don’t fit my taste at all! It’s impossible between us. Please help me speak to my father and say that you don’t want to get married to me!”

Seeing her like this, Joshua’s eyes widened. At first, he was going to tell her that he wanted to leave. But seeing the attitude of the blonde elf in front of him, Joshua felt that he had to let her know how ‘powerful’ he was!

Therefore, he pretended to say, “Since it’s your father’s decision, I have no way to interfere with it. Moreover, I only knew about this matter now!”

Then, with a lewd expression, Joshua stared at her chest and said, “How can I refuse such a good thing? With your big chest and fat butt, you’re very suitable to help me give birth to a child!”

Looking at Joshua’s expression, the blonde elf immediately became afraid.

She covered her chest with one hand and hurriedly put her other on her butt. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
